Northerners have used their
own hand to kill their land
with sharia, religious intolerance,
illiteracy, fanatics, killings, disease etc,

now they want to run to other
peoples land & carry all such
backwardness to go & sow there,

Amotekun is waiting for them. .
First phase is to ban okada & keké,
which they love doing.

Next is to ban maisuya, shoeshiners
& wheelbarrow pushers .

are u saying the north is in affluence with all this? Sorry is your case

Arrewa:
The eastern Nigeria is very very poor...

Yet Your problem is north.... The north have accepted that they have a problem and working towards their problems... You what are you doing about the poverty and Underdevelopment hitting the south east??

Igbo people don't have street begging as culture or tradition, that's why you see Igbo women working as labourers at building sites.

SMH. You can tell lies 1000 times and pretend to be the truth, but the truth will still not go away. The most dangerous thing to do is to lie to yourself in the face of the truth. Honestly speaking, a paradigm shift is needed in the north. The economic and human indices coming from the north is scary. I served in Yobe, so I crisscrossed most of the north eastern state. The leaders there need to seat tight and tell themselves the truth. The commoners shouldn't be a pawn in their political game.

Yes, the pictures you posted elicit the very wide economic gap in the north. I agree with you that there are places in KAno, Kaduna, Maiduguri that might tempt someone to think he/she is in Lekki, Banana Island. But you failed to talk about the dearth of human capital development.

Dont mind the demented psycho......
The report is from an international body let the slowpoke go and fight them.

But he is right to be offended. Every normal person will be if people keep throwing invectives on his or her people.

And yet leaders there don't want to be criticised.
And yet the youth are often distracted by mundane issues.
And yet the educated amongst protect poor leadership...

Little wonder they fall over themselves telling us how democracy doesn't work and that dictatorship is right. What better way to explain a feudal mindset that needs others to think and act on ones behalf, literally dragging one kicking and screaming into the realms of development.

We have serious problems in Nigeria that only restructuring can address.
One thing it will do is to lay na.ked all pretences associated with the ideologies that have driven societies there for a thousand years.

No man will stand to be stripped in broad daylight so they fight to ensure the status quo remains.

The backward northern Nigeria!

You are definitely a disgrace to your generation wish I believe is not mine.

An average uneducated fool like you who has ran away from the #North to the #South should have first of all ask yourself why you ran away but no you won't cause to you not being poor is by having beautiful houses and roads and yet today #South Africa in all its beauty is in #Recession.

Please take note: Poverty is not rated or calculated by structures or infrastructures but by how much $Dollar the common man of your society lives on daily.
The ability for him to provide the basic needs of life for himself and family and still live comfortably well without going an extra mile to make ends meet.

Don't be fooled by what you see and think cause with what you are putting up here I can tell you don't think right so please do your research and ask your elders questions and don't come up here again next time and put up rubbish.

An average southern bigot is as illiterate as a foreigner on Nigeria's diversity. Because someone speaks Hausa does not make him a Hausa man. Hausa is spoken as a general language in North regardless of the tribe. When it suits the bigots every northerner is Hausa,

I think his point is about the north in general and not Hausa people in particular. So you are simply reinforcing his point by showing that the north has connived to oppress the rest of us.

You can continue living in denial. Applying abecedarian solution to a deep seated age long issue proved by empirical facts.

You as a defender of this North knows that you are more sure of staying alive in those old pictures you posted than in their equivalent in states like Borno, Yobe, Admawa, Katsina... The commander of the Nigerian security Home state and many more.


A northerner living in those slums down south ia light years ahead of his equal living the same alum up north.



You can hate Sanusi but he is telling you the reality of the wide gap between the north and the south

Memberclub:
lmao. Your people are literally street beggars in the south or shoe Makers.

They are shoe menders not shoe makers,
Aboki can't make shoes, they only repair or polish shoes.

Easterners are the real shoemakers just like the Italians and Chinese

This is the poor and underdeveloped northern Nigeria...according to Developers

U no too get sense , u should conpare north and south

when pa awolowo was busy birthing many ideas like free education from primary to tertiary institution, building world class universities, cocoa revolution among others that later led to the rapid development as witnessed in the south west today, his white beard demented counterparts in the north were busy imposing sharia law on the poor people and building Qur'anic recitation schools in every corner of their zone, arresting the mind of their people with religion from the tender to aid their deceptive plans and for future political gains . it's even a pity that,as at now, the northern elites are yet to wake up from their slumber. like what happened in Kano recently, anybody that try to address the situation of the north will be tagged as enemy of Islam and will be seriously persecuted. Nigeria will not remain forever, the shadow of secession is unlike before overcast, as more people especially from the south get educated, traveled outside the country and get enlightens everyday, they've begun to realise several reasons why a meaningful country should not be stunted like Nigeria, a lot of people including the Yoruba's once known as the best friend of the North are now among those championing the agitation for secession. If at this level your eyes is yet to open that Nigeria is irredeemable, is either you're an illiterate, an educated illiterate, or one of the beneficiary of the inept in the failed system, personally I've been able to see more than 100s reason why this country will extinct the way it is. Every single attempt to put things right is frustrated by the people from the other side, they don't give a damn as long as their hold on to power is not threatened. see; restructuring, they kicked against it, regional policing, they kick against it, electoral reform they kicked against it, amotekun they kick against it, constitution amendments they all frowned at it. I'm not an Igbo man, I'm a Yoruba from Lagos, you just imagine where the Igbo people will be today if they were given Biafra then; they would have gone ahead of every other, this contraption called Nigeria is a scam intelligently invented by luggard and his wife shaw on their matrimonial bed after a long rounds of marathon sex.

Just before you come for me, say this prayer after me: Dear God do to my life the kind of transformation that has been happening in Nigeria since 1960, let my life from today begin to be nice like the beggars that are enjoying in the street of kano.

But if you cannot say any of the prayer and still not happy with we, this is another prayer for you; dear God pls kill me now I'm an enemy of progress, I'm a witch, and a brainwashed zombie

You der measure yourself with the East. You need sleeping pill.

After all the Civil war frustration with policies designed to frustrate the SE yet the people rose and became strong and great.
Measure yourself with Niger and Chad that is where you belong.

The eastern Nigeria is very very poor...

Yet Your problem is north.... The north have accepted that they have a problem and working towards their problems... You what are you doing about the poverty and Underdevelopment hitting the south east??

Niccoloimhotep:


But why cant we just split amicably?

I can assure you that is Nigeria slits today, the North is going to suffer tremendously. No more freebies.

danietohbadt:
The North is synonymous with nothing good but poverty.


The massive poverty, illiteracy, unemployment and insecurity they're facing today is the result of "moronic" decisions they took in the past.

They complain of hunger, complain of unemployment, and funny enough, they haven't changed their ideology.

Teen marriage, polygamy and zero birth control is the order of the day.


How on earth will poverty and all the negative economic indices not be on the surge when a shoe cobbler who barely makes 10k a month marries four wives, all of who don't work and father 20 kids who don't school?


The North is the reason Nigeria is still backward.

It would be nice to do away with them.

phorget:


They are only known for Terrorism not agriculture. An average northerner is a terrorist and if you are not sure about this just tell them that Mohammed is not a messenger of god then you will understand what I'm talking about

The average core northern Nigerian is a terrorist or potential terrorist.

The people who do agriculture are people from the Middle Belt.

Don't mind them, I lived in Kano for 18 years and I'm still looking forward to returning someday, they call you backward while your land is more developed than theirs

When we were saying the North is just a region of burden to every other regions, people were busy shouting sai Baba. For over 50 years,what can we point out as the achievements of these Northerners and usefulness in Nigeria? The Igbos that lost everything and bounced back are far more useful to Nigeria than what the North contributes all 19 states of them. Because of tribal politics,GEJ was removed and Buhari who if not for quota system wouldn't even be a soldier. Probably selling sugarcane.

backnbeta:
I don't blame their leaders, most Northerners are okay with poverty. They enjoy begging, shining shoes, packing rusty metals and shouting 'ran ka dede'. If they don't enjoy it, they would have fought back somehow

They can't fight back when they don't yet know they are suffering or that life could be better with good governance. Same way other Nigerians are foolishly supporting some politicians because of ethnic, religious, etc reason. They don't also know that life could be better not until they also travel to the civilise world.

And the deceit continues


Its no LONGER CLIMATE CHANGE

ITS NOW POVERTY

And many Nigerians as usual believe these lies

It takes nothing to convince a TYPICAL NIGERIAN he doesn't REASON...don't even remember what you said last time

You claim its poverty in the north that is pushing them south and the so called middle belt

YET AN IGBO BUSINESS MAN IN SOKOTO AND KANO IS BUILDING HOUSE IN HIS VILLAGE IS SOUTH

Its poverty and they came to south with MATCHETE COLLECTING MONEY FROM OWNERS OF LAND BEFORE ALLOWING THEM TO FARM IN THEIR OWN LAND

WALKING PUBLICLY IN ENUGU WITH AK47 BECAUSE OF POVERTY IN THE NORTH

MR ABOKI all of us southerns are not dummies

Take you rubbish back north and preach it to them

u are really making sense.. It's actually dominantion... But southerners are bigger fools.. Cos they have been playing this games since 1914

Arrewa:
The poor and backward north!

You just corroborated what people are saying here. Over 90% of NIgeria's income comes from the south. Oil, tourism, ICT name it. Yet this wealth is used to build your roads, schools, buy your tractors etc. The core north with exclusion on NC, which has embraced education) has been a leach sucking away the resources of the south. B4 independence, the British had to use southern resources to build rail and other infrastructures in the north.

Yet you people continues to enact religious and inhumane laws that hinder commerce and socialism. In every respect, the north has Been the problem of this country. I want you to note that for every poor, and wretched person of southern origin, the wealth to lift him/her up has-been shared for millions up there. Your economy is not sound to the level of building those thing you showed without the wealth that is transferred from here. The total IGR over there can hardly per the salary of teachers there.

I saw some mediocre government officials celebrating NIgeria's $447b economy, I was appalled. The Egypt that occupies the third position, has GDP per capital of over $12,000. For NIgeria to attain such level, our economy will have to be in the region of $3tr.

I have said it before, it is not a bad thing for NIgeria to reconsider her sovereignty. Countries negotiate their reasons for being all the time. The north has refused to embrace modern lifestyle and continue to embrace acts that worsen the country; uncontrolled birth, religious and communal violence (almost all the religious violence in this country is from the north), insecurity, poverty etc. One nonentity that called himself Parliamentarian even came on air to say begging is northern culture. That is a leader that supposed to show the people the way. Has any of his kids begged b4?

The South is not haven. In fact there is unemployment, and some other developmental issues down here. But as long as the north continue like this, we will not be able to do much here. because the monies keeps flying up there.
