I really pity you guys in the north. The poverty, illiteracy, disease, strife, misery and terrorism capital of the world and the embodiment of everything that is wrong with Nigeria. Judging by the way you guys are still myopically running away from the truth and failing to acknowledge your sorry state, shows that your situation can only get worse going forward!!

If I'm from the north, I will certainly be sad and in sobber reflection.
Now consider these issues:
The North today is home to two of the world's most deadly terrorist groups I.e boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen!!
The North today has millions of internally displaced persons with no hope of when they would ever return home!!
The North today has over 10 million almajiris roaming aimlessly about with no education, no handwork, no skill but just begging for alms, constituting nuisance and a ready pool for causing anarchy!!
The north today is home by far, to the world's largest number of destitute and absolute poor, in fact, poverty in Nigeria is a northern phenomenon and Sanusi, your Kano emir acknowledged this depressing fact!!

ASK YOURSELF IF THE NORTH HAS A FUTURE?? WHERE WILL YOU GUYS BE IN SAY 2030 CONSIDERING ALL YOUR CURRENT INDICES

One of the major reasons why I support the breakup of Nigeria or at least making its constituent parts semi autonomous is because the North is already finished in all ramifications, and if it were to be a country today, will certainly be a classic textbook failed country!!!

What many people in the South who still support Nigeria to remain one as it is do not know is that, for as long as we remain tied with the north, we in the South will equally remain underdeveloped, stagnant, unsafe and at serious risk because the spillover of the anarchy and madness going on in the North will always spread to the South.

The North is on self destruct and the earlier people in the South understand that and cut ties with the North or at least minimize it to the barest minimum through semi autonomous regions, the better for us all.

Mark this post today, if Buhari returns in 2019, Nigeria will be in serious unprecedented crises that may ultimately lead to its violent breakup.

Obviously in your 15 years of staying in the North, you lived in a slum or something like that, where humanity is not given much regard.

Just because you stay in the wrong place and mingle with the wrong people that doesn't justify that the entire north are illiterates or close to that.


Just like if a core northerner stays in a ghetto area of Ogun state where there are chunks of uncivilize people, it is wrong for him to generalize that the entire Ogun state are uncivilize. As i said it earlier in every gathering there are good and bad people, you can only rob mind with the type of people you are staying with, and the type of people you are living with defines who you are.


I don't have to argue with you, because you owe me no explanation neither do I.
sharrap there
when are u going to stop lying
I lived at the capital of Sokoto close to the government house
they are all illiterates everywhere. 80% of their youth can't even understand half baked pidgin and they also smell like camels.
70% of those working in the state secretariat can't even stitch together one correct sentence.
So u are hailing lugard for merging with people u hate much. or rather saving ur lives from hunger because it's obvious most of u couldn't have survived with crude oil revenue

You are nothing but liar. A ina ka zauna a kaf arewa? This is what your bigoted eastern brothers who have never left the eroded region always say about the north.

Firstly, violence is never restricted to the north. Just a few weeks ago we saw how the supposedly "civilized" easterners were beheading themselves in the name if cult wars.

Secondly, most of the maisuyas that you see as illiterates actually know how to read and write in arabic. Only a few of my Islamic teachers know how to read or write in English but it is a completely different case in Arabic so stop lying.

Thirdly, no one discriminates against Yoruba Muslims. We have a popular imam already who leads Friday prayers. He is entirely Yoruba. At least you should have waited for them to complain about the discrimination first. Why cry more than the bereaved? Why do Hausa musicians and Imams pray for Abiola?

Isnt it surprising that you could remember the blunder of zamfara state's governor but cant remember when your stupid brothers were waiting for Israel and trump to nuke Nigeria? or when your people were very foolishly being decieved by a Turkish nobody? or when your people were bathing with salt water to cure ebola? or when your people were eating grass because jesus asked them to?

Illiteracy, violence or whatever is universal. Even if you go China you will still find it their. Stop being a bigot and a liar

and with your so called dominance,what do have to show for for it today...na boko go kill u las las

1. The north cannot be messed with militarily by any other region. Take that to the bank.

2. From roads to bridges, rails to ports (air & dry), institutions to military formations... no other region in the country beats the North in public infrastructure (excepting Lagos). Just check the Kano skyline of recent, and where current capital projects are located.

3. In the civil service and government in general, northerners always have an advantage in recruitments, appointments and promotions. This would be impossible without political dominance.

That's just a tip of the iceberg wink

As for BH, Europe is still fighting the same Islamic extremism (ISIS) so I wonder how you think the challenge is exclusive to the north.

Bar su kawai Alhaji cheesy ba yanda suka iya damu.


They should keep wailing.
Most of you lack knowledge, just basking in your ignorance and undevelopable region, its shameful.

Obed-Edom Azikiwe (The father of Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe) was a very influential member of Lord Lugard’s administration.

Obed Edom Azikiwe was Lord Lugard’s private secretary. Google his name and read about him. He was the only Nigerian that could read and write well, reason Lord Lugard and British government appointed him as secretary of government then.

Sadly, he passed on in 1958, two years before Nigeria’s independence, at the age of 78.

Undoubtedly, he would have loved to see his son Zik sworn in as Nigeria’s first Head of State. But fate had a different plan.

Peace Through Negotiations

It was Obed-Edom Chukwuemeka Azikiwe that drafted – and humanised in accordance with his ability – all the treaties Lugard signed with Nigerian traditional rulers throughout the colonial rule before his death in 1958.

He drafted the treaty Lugard signed with the Obong of Calabar, the Sultan of Sokoto, the Oba of Benin, the Alaafin of Oyo that came before Lugard amalgamated Nigeria.

Historians have suggested that Azikiwe softened the harshness of many of these treaties.

By so doing, he is said to have prevented bloody wars between the British and Nigerian groups by not only softening the harshness of the protectorate agreements, but also persuading both Lugard and powerful Nigerian traditional rulers to come to agreement.

Speaking on the issue, a history expert, Omoluabi Olayomi Koiki, suggested that these traditional rulers must have been happy to sign once Mr Azikiwe presented the agreements to them. They seemed to have a lot of trust in Mr Azikiwe.

The only traditional ruler who flagrantly refused to sign any treaty unless the phrase “protection” was explained to him was Mazi Jubo Juboha, also known as Jaja of Opobo.

Obed-Edom Azikiwe was based in Lugard’s head office at Zungeru. Zungeru was Nigeria’s amalgamation capital.

Zungeru was then what Abuja is to Nigeria today.

And Lugard’s office was the colonial version of Aso Rock.

The senior Azikiwe’s job can be summarised as negotiating to prevent or reduce violence between colonial Britain and Nigerian kingdoms.

Obed-Edom Azikiwe should be thanked and honoured for his work in preventing or ending wars between the colonial masters and powerful Nigerian kingdoms.

Below is a picture of Edom Azikiwe (Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe's father) sitting with Lord Lugard, this picture was taken before 1914 Almagamation.

Note: Igbos were the elite and head of military and even government before the 1966 first coup which was led by Maj. Nzeogwu (an Igbo from Okpanam Asaba, Delta State) and yet Igbos in Southeast didn't abandon him like most Niger Delta do to Igbos when push comes to shove, but Igbos stood by Nzeogwu and fought for him till end.

This is the same thing Igbos did for Goodluck Jonathan; Igbos are the only tribe that stood behind Goodluck till difficult times and till date and defending him, and if not for Igbos, Goodluck would have been either jailed or hanged by wicked, biased Nigerians.

Igbos lost their grip on Nigeria's leadership after the 1966 coup. Check all the educated and most senior Nigerian military officers that headed Nigerian military after independence, they were all Igbos. Igbos lost out in being the head of Nigerian military, government and politics after the 1966 coup and civil war. Before the 1966 coup and civil war, Igbos were the leaders of Nigeria, you can google or check any history book for the people leading Nigerian military, politics, etc before the civil war.

Hausa-Fulanis were the ones who dominated trade, farming...

I presented you with facts. So if u must argue, please present facts.

The northern Nigeria is the problem holding Nigeria down.

If not for the north and their barbaric ancient religious extremism that encourages illiteracy, condemns modern civilization, encourages unregulated marriage and childbirth leading to the giving birth of children without proper plan and care hence overpopulation with no means to cater for them, Nigeria would have advanced beyond here.

Northern Nigeria's religious extremism is what's consuming Nigeria today. Check how much Nigeria spend trying to fight Boko Haram every year.

Check how many Churches, properties and humans the north have killed when there is little national disagreement that ought to be settled amicably.

Check how many Middlebelt farms, homes, indigenes, etc the north has killed just because of cow.

The far north was never supposed to be part of Nigeria. They were supposed to join their brothers in Chad, Niger, and Burkina Faso.

If Nigeria was made up of Yoruba + Igbo + Niger Delta, believe me, Nigeria would have been so peaceful and developed far beyond where it is now.

If I were a northern person, I will form a pressure group to awaken my youths and we start to ask our elites some critical questions and will start to teach my youths how to practice our religion without being violent and intolerant to others.

Be honest to yourself, northern Nigeria is akin to backwardness, if you doubt me, check MDGs and UNDP or World Bank figures on google.

90% of foreign NGOs that come to Nigeria go to Northern Nigeria why

These foreign NGOs know that they don't have any job to do in most southern states but have a lot of poverty, disease, illiteracy and malnutrition rescue jobs to do in the far north cry

Nigeria is a country of the Northern people, dominated by Northerners and created for the North.

Nigeria is a failed British experiment. A third-world country founded to the advantage of the Northern elites. SW, SE and SS people are nothing but minorities. Nigeria is not our home. We're just passing through.

Yes, Lord Lizard is the problem of this country. He is the person that made the East-West road which was started during Obasanjo's regime to be uncompleted till date while billions of naira are allocated to it every year and looted by SS leaders.

Lord Lugard is the one that told James Ibori to steal several billions of naira and eventually end up in British jail while his people are suffering at home.

Lord Lugard is the same person that opened accounts for imPatience Jonathan's gatemen, cooks, maids and gardeners and thereafter deposited billions of naira in the accounts. After that, Lord Lugard then sneaked to tell Mama Piss Jonathan to go to court and claim the money while her husband was drunk on ogogoro.

Lord Lugard is the person that told Goatluck Jonathan to take a bribe of over $1 billion in the Malabu oil deal and share it with his fellow looters.

Lord Lugard is the person that used Diezaini Allison-Maduekwe's accounts to loot money all over the world. Lord Lugard then went to tell the British police to arrest her.

The merging of regions with entirely different belief, value system, culture, tradition, etc gave birth to unwarranted fight for superiority among Nigerian leaders (the founding fathers).

This wrong merging of strange bed fellows also led to tribalism, favoritism and biased implementation of national policies and even national employment after independence, which provoked the young military chaps then to revolt against the Nigerian first indigenous government led by Azikiwe and Tafawa Belewa, which led to the biased coup led by an Igbo Military Officer, from which Nigeria entered its path to total destruction.

Go and read history before the 1966 coup, what led Major Nzeogwu and other non-Igbo military officers to carry out the first coup was Tafawa Belewa's biased leadership style favoring mostly the core north and their Islamic belief when Nigeria is not an Islamic nation.

This biased, tribalistic and corrupt filled government of Tafawa Belewa and Nnamdi Azikiwe provoked the young military guys to attempt a coup to remove all the national leaders then and release Chief Awolowo (who was serving jail term at Enugu prison) whom they believed was more neutral and better to make him the Head of Nigeria's government, but they failed woefully in their implementation of the coup plan and made it turn to an Igbo-agenda coup, sadly cry

BTW what do you mean by illiterate?


Illiteracy is not all about how to speak or write in English, as far as you can read and write whether in Hebrew, Chinese, Arabic or French you are not an illiterate.


I guess it is still a mystery to you on how the British back then prefer to relate with northerners than Easterners.


When the British came to Nigeria, the North already knew how to read and write in Arabic while their Eastern counterpart were working naked.

My fav lugard quote. 2018 black man still never change

Through the ages, the African appears to have evolved no organised religious creed, and though some tribes appear to believe in a deity, the religious sense seldom rises above pantheistic animalism and seems more often to take the form of a vague dread of the supernatural. He lacks the power of organisation, and is conspicuously deficient in the management and control alike of men or business. He loves the display of power, but fails to realize its responsibility - he will work hard with a less incentive than most races. He has the courage of the fighting animal, an instinct rather than a moral virtue. In brief, the virtues and defects of his race -type are those of attractive children, whose confidence when it is won is given ungrudgingly as to an older and wiser superior and without envy. Perhaps, the two traits which have impressed me as those most characteristic of the African native are his lack of apprehension and his lack of ability to visualize the future"

You keep regurgitating fallacies you pulled out of your anus, and yet keep fouling the air with it.
"The north cannot be messed with militarily by any other region" according to you, yet you had to run to Britain and Russia as well as Egypt for help to fight Biafra??
While Biafra was using locally developed technology and personnel to whoop your ass you had to beg Egyptians to come and fly the Russian Ilysian bombers to bomb civilians.
If not for the blockade on Biafra that resulted in civilian deaths, do you think Biafra would have lost the war??

Check the war casualty statistics for combatants on both sides and tell me who suffered greater losses??

Despite having Britain, Russia and Egypt as well as the middle belt and Yorubas fighting on your side, and a Biafra that was completely blockaded with the help of Cameroon, the war still lasted 3 good years and you guys still lost far more number of soldiers than Biafrans did!!!

That was in 1967-70 when there was no boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen. Today, the middle belt will rather die than fight on your side!!
Today, with boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen ravaging the north, you still believe you have what it takes to fight??

Continue deceiving yourself, but the reality is that the north is completely screwed with a very bleak future!!!

Very factual, the muslims part of India which is now Pakistan was creating too many problems for other Faiths, notably the Hindus and Buddhists, and then they decided to part ways, now can you compare the progress and technological strides India have achieved as a nation compared to Pakistan. This same scenario is playing out in Nigeria, until the Islamic north is separated from the rest of Nigeria, there will be no progress,
I swear.

sharrap there
when are u going to stop lying
I lived at the capital of Sokoto close to the government house
they are all illiterates everywhere. 80% of their youth can't even understand half baked pidgin and they also smell like camels.
70% of those working in the state secretariat can't even stitch together one correct sentence.
So u are hailing lugard for merging with people u hate much. or rather saving ur lives from hunger because it's obvious most of u couldn't have survived with crude oil revenue


Who is complaining about hunger here? Definitely you.


I also travel a lot, I have seen how your people are suffering even two square meal they can't afford it talk less of three. I have seen how your ladies are jumping with anxiety when they come across a rich Northern guy.

Anyway I don't have to explain everything for you, because I definitely know you will judge based on your emotion.

As for me, my friend's, family and entire neighborhood i know that we are faring well enough. Same goes to other millions of Northeners.

The hate in you is too much you need an exorcist for spiritual cleansing,it is because of people like you the Federal Government initiated the NYSC after the civil war for national re orientation,they say Charity begins at home,your parents no do NYSC and passed their knowledge of love your fellow Nigerian to you?

It is quite obvious you have never left the shores of Nigeria,you are an epitome of a true myopic tribalist.

Please learn to ignore a dimwit when you come across one.


That guy is a stark illiterate that have a problem with comprehension probably he is in a remote village of SW.
