Why Is It That Northerners Hardly Migrate? by peacengine(m): 9:52pm On May 06, 2018
This situation is somehow to us curious minds. Regardless of all discomforts and instability in parts of their region, they hardly seek greener pastures outside the shores of Nigeria, unlike southerners, who seem to hate the country. Northern brothers, your response is needed here.

The Western world is haram to them. That's why they've been dragging Nigeria backward from mordernizatin and civilization. Then the rest of the country says let there be restructuring so they can be on their own and continue to wallow in their backwardness and stone-age life, still they say No.

To do what outside?
What do they have to offer... people who are intellectually lazy and unproductive.

The Northern man survives thru politics and government jobs and contracts.
He joins the Army,Navy,Police,Customs or immigration because these areas are less challenging intellectually.
Even the intellectually challenged areas in this government, armed or paramilitary forces like engineers and medical doctors you won't see them there,rather their Southern counterparts.


Lazy ,uneducated people.

Our reasons are not far fetched;

1. We are contented with the little resources we have.

2. We respect our personal dignity which makes us not to be desperate for going to any country by hook or by crook where we may end up being persona-non-grata.

3. Even with the tragedy of Boko Haram in the northeast, we still enjoy security in the region.

4. Cost of living is very low e.g food, clothes, shelter and transportation.

5. Education is more or less free from nursery up to university level.

no bro!
the reason why you people don't migrate is simply because it is not in you to mingle - the Hausas and Fulanis are generally a shy people and find it hard to withstand competition - that is why they easily resort to violence to suppress superior intelligence. hence their reason for remaining in their domain no matter how difficult the situation is.

thou the younger generation seems to be overcoming that shyness - hence the reason why you see them in all states of the federation now in very large numbers - even at that they still find it hard to drop their violent side - hence their constant clashes with their host communities.

The poster made the post without any negativity or hate, but surprisingly most comments here are hate ladden.

I can’t agree with you that we don’t mingle. Because the neighborhood I was born and brought up comprises different ethnic groups. We grew up and schooled together.

In my university days, i never stayed in a room without any member of other tribes.

In NYSC camp, I was the only Hausa in our room, the rest are Yoruba and Igbos.

In my postgraduate days, all my clique members are not Hausa.

In my office currently the people we are working in harmony 1 is Igbo, 1 calabar and 1 is Ijaw. In fact my boss name is Onwukwe who is always proud of me.

We actually travel that’s why I’m here.

Moreover it’s not always good to generalize. Beacuse the north is very wide comprises different ethnic groups with different cultures.

This makes sense to me. For those saying they are lazy, I disagree. Those manual laborers who cut grasses, carry load and do other harsh work in cities like Lagos, PH, etc are not lazy. Those Edo girls in Italy, are they intellectuals?

in addition to this our brothers and sisters in the south only rely on hear says and what they read on news and what they see in the media generally without really coming up north to see for themselves

Lazy ,uneducated people.
and despite them been lazy and uneducated as u tagged them the last time I checked, I think the richest black person in the world is still very much from the core north. Where are the industrious southerners when the lazy dangote was just making his cool billions? Let their southern counterparts travel all over the world, be doctors, lawyers, engineers and still come back hoping 2 be a slave in still that uneducated abokiiiii's company. Where were the educated southerners when an uneducated core northerner "INDIMI" was giving a golden opportunity 2 deliver a speech in Harvard? The whole nigeria and still many other african countries are praying fervently for the completion of a refinery still owned by a lazy abokiiiiii. Where were the southerners when one of the best car designer, Jelani Aliyu was receiving some accolades in one the biggest car manufacturing company in the world; General motors. I can go on n on.

An average northerner has the believe that he can make it in a legit way even in his dear country. He refuse despite all temptations 2 b a slave in another man's land. He still refuse 2 b engrossed by what is called "get rich quick syndrome" and abhors anything that will taint the image of his family and the country at large.

Northerners are very hot tempered. They are not used to socializing, freedom of their will and little or no Information about a better place than Nigeria.
No Information on how to process visa. They don’t like competition and they hide under God to give up easily especially a rigorous process like visa.
I remembered my school days abroad, the Hausa man in my school forgot he was no more in Kano and wanted to beat a citizen (white) because he was joking with him and he got angry, can’t control his temper and wouldn’t care the outcome of it until I cautioned him and spoke Hausa to him (Aboki kaberi)

Where else can they practice violence, backwardness, and sharia if not in this dead shiithole, this is the only place that can accommodate them, you don't get free quota system or job via alahji or politician abroad it only happens in this dump.


It is only the microscopic few from the oligarchy who have been funded by niger delta oil money that would emark abroad but yet you won't hear their names when innovation and class is mentioned that's cos they are still intellectually dumb

Be careful o. Do you know how many ab0kis are migratin' to Lagos in trucks & lorries everyday?


Is it because they smell the same as cows so you don't notice them?
80% of those doing okada and gateman in Lagos are not Nigerians talkless of being real Hausa, most of them are from Chad/Niger. An average typical Hausa man will prefer to wallow in abject poverty in Kano than to come and hustle in Lagos.

Even here in Nigeria, the northerners are well-known for drugs. The northerners are the chief drug users in Nigeria. Talk about the Southerners doing so well abroad. Northerners don't even travel because they are illeterates, can't even speak English, they can only live in a place like Northern Nigeria in the whole world and nowhere else.
