According to UNICEF, statistics showed that 37 per cent of children representing over six million are malnourished.
She disclosed that the 17.2 million figure represents 43.6 per cent of an estimated 40 million Nigerian children under the age of five years, adding that 19.4 per cent children in the South-west are stunted resulting from malnourishment.
“This is worse than the South-east and South-south but better than the North. And we must do more as agenda setters to keep this issue on national discourse and help reverse the ugly trend,” she said.

Genius you have not answered why Nigeria exports yam, cassava etc. yet families are going hungry in the south.

The North produces most of the food in your mothers kitchen and boasts of the highest number of hardworking farmers, and the existence of poor people that cannot afford to feed properly does not change that fact. Just the way the fact that some people starve in the south does not change the reality that Nigeria is an exporter of many food items including yam from the south.

If the North was not the producer of your food, how come millions of Ibos died of starvation during the civil war once the FG blocked food items from entering Biafra? Yet you have the guts to call them parasites? Lol.

As for restructuring, as a lover of the great Aguiyi Ironsi, his legacy of a unitary structure for Nigeria must be preserved at all costs.

Stop posting jargons, abeg...which north produces food for d country?? Majority of our agricultural produce comes from d middle-belt and they're not associating themselves with the parasitic north.

North has no economic relevance to this current unitary structure of government, they make us have negative indexes in every sphere of human development, instead of the Reta.rds to think of alleviating poverty in their regions, they're here busy ranting over a failed structure.

Refute my claim n stop scaling around like a monkey.

You're doing a great job if you're pretending to be ignorant.

Rice, beans, beef, onions, mutton, pumpkins, watermelons, millet, sesame, hibiscus (zobo) etc. are grown mainly in the core north and you can check your local market where northern trucks offload daily to confirm the source.

The North apart from producing food also hosts centres of commerce such as Kano, which apart from its volume of trade, also hosts hundreds of thousands of Ibos like yourself that continue flocking there daily in pursuit of greener pastures. The Internally Generated Revenue of Kano and Kaduna alone is greater than that of the 5 s/eastern states (who also depend heavily on federal "crude oil" allocation) so if you're looking for a parasite, look in the mirror.

Tell me what contribution to the federal purse the South east makes and its relevance to the unitary structure if not for flooding other regions, including the north, with economic migrants and fostering criminality.

Who is begging for one Nigeria, as its life depends on it? North or SE people?

You should be smarter than this. Nigeria exports yam, cassava, cashew etc. yet thousands go to sleep hungry in the south so you have no point. From meats, vegetables, grains to fruits; it is widely known that the North is the food producer of the country with the largest number of hardworking farmers, so it is delusional to call such a people parasites.

The reason you want restructuring is mainly because you want to escape from northern political and military dominance. That is it. Don't forget at a point your region wanted this same unitary structure when it thought it could dominate.

Your SE states are as much parasites as everyone else receiving allocation from the national purse (except the major oil producing states) because your parasitic 5 states would simply crash without crude oil money. What is your regional IGR? Do you know entire SE IGR is less than Kaduna and Kano alone? Where are your states in the feasibility index? Stop hiding behind the "south" to mask your parasitism, unproductivity and backwardness.

You can only fool yourself.

Truthcat:
Great topic. But not everyone wants restructuring in the south and middle belt, if we do, it's enough to float a party and win.

If we all want restructuring, the south and middle belt have enough votes to shut Hausa and fulani out forever, and have a candidate that will deliver just that.

No matter how small, this is the kind of topics we should be weighing till we get
there.

chubbyswit:
will you shut up your lying tongue? I'm currently staying in the core north and I can tell you that all I'm seeing here is hardcore hunger, illiteracy and backwardness among your people. Your state governments will just build infrastructures and leave it in wrong illiterate hands. You guys even have luck that non-indigenes especially from the South have helped to add development, life and modernity to your backward states.

UncleJJ:


Obasanjo ruled Nigeria for 8 years, Jonathan for 6 in total , the south has ruled for 14
Yar'adua ruled for 2 years, Buhari for 3 years, the north has 5 years since the return to democracy.

One cannot become president without overwhelming support from the north.

You must be resident in a village or rural area because the bolded is a FAT LIE if you've ever lived in the cities of Kano, Kaduna, Jos, Minna, Sokoto etc.

At least we have infrastructure to leave to wrong hands, why don't you build yours too instead of suffering in your backward, undeveloped, red potor potor, erosion ravaged and crime riddled east? 60% of your indigenes that are here are into fraudulent and criminal businesses like sale of hard drugs and sale of expired and fake drugs so you'd be doing us a favour if you kept all your criminal-filled young shall grow buses in the east. Thank you.

RedeemNigeria:
All other parts of Nigeria agree that restructuring is the way forward except the North.

This means that the North is the biggest beneficiary of the current structure.

There is an angle in this whole issue that no one is really looking at.

The un-noticed angle is that all other parts of the country have the SAME INTEREST which is restructuring

It is therefore foolish for anyone to expect restructuring in any regime led by a Northerner.

If other regions are truly sincere about restructuring, they should team up as one in their voting pattern.

Just think of what the North would do if they don't taste power at the center for the next 20 years with no hope of ever getting there again!

The results: The North will be first to call for restructuring or even opt to break away.


BIAFRA and the other agitating republics, this is simply the formula that will make your self determination a reality. If not, it is only a dream that will become a nightmare.

And if this formula does not result into restructuring or the breaking of Nigeria, it will surely result into a better country because it will at least force everyone to the negotiating table. No one will dominate the other again.

I didn't want to respond at first because there's no need.

But you need to know that there are still those of us here who respect ourselves and others enough that we humbly opt out of any discussion when it's becoming unintelligent and insulting.

So next time I don't respond just know that's why. Thank you

You are simply a joke and known for regurgitating the rubbish your yoruba side-kicks spews when 'yabbing Igbos.....What exactly do you lots mean by feeding SE??...I go to market to buy my stuff,gets hounded by hausas who keeps shreiking 'madam,come buy yam'...I buy and pay my money to him,with him thanking me in appreciation,..

Next thing is you turn around to say he is feeding me and i ask...are you high on some cheap drugs most of the time or what??...cos your brain seems to kick into some silly mode when you log on to nairaland...perhaps the hail of insults on your co-joined twin,the mega incompetent buhari has made your senses go on an indefinite vacation...

You and your north feeds the whole world,yet you go into epileptic fit,pain,sortow,bitterness and anger at the mention of the dis-integration of Nigeria,Biafra or Nnamdi Kanu....Continue fooling yoursrlf with your IGR bull-shittt.
