Sorry my brother, truth can be painful.
Just take 2 panadols, and do a better study of Nigerian economy when your head clears.

The Minster of Information and communications, Mr. Labaran Maku has said it will be difficult for the North to survive without the resources from the Niger Delta. Maku disclosed this on Monday at the Lokoja township stadium while fielding questions from newsmen shortly after the presidential campaign rally.

The Minster of Information and communications, Mr Labaran Maku has said it will be difficult for the North to survive without the resources from the Niger Delta. He stressed that except Kano,no state in the North had the capacity to conveniently pay the salaries of its civil servants without resorting to the monthly allocation of the Federal Government, which was largely proceeds from the oil derived from the N'Delta

the oil reserve in nigeria is about 38 billion barrel so which will finish in about forty years from now  that is  2050 at 2.2 million barrel per day so forty years in the life span of a nation is so small becos countries like swiss just celebrated 700 year ecqudor 200 yrs so 40 yrs is just a fraction the north of the country still have vast miniral deposit,arable land which is a vital tool for a nation long term futurist plan one onion was sold for around 100 naira last week in lagos!!!!!!abi u can farm tomatos onion on swamp agriculture still contribute large chunck of the gdp 70 percent while crude oil 90 percent of earning which is been stolenly mercilessly by the iboris .tafa balogun,abacha e.t.c is cut across all tribe so my friend wake up world scientic are make effort to for about crude oil may be they might succeced even b4 our own finish

bashr4:

exactly the north have a vast land that will be very useful when dooms day arrives  our problem is our leaders not notherners cus most of them are even suffering more the southerners instead should question theiir governors what they have been doin to billions of dollars pumped into theiur account from federal govt, bayels is the least populated state yet gets the highest budget but with nothin to show for while anambra with its high population and low budget is doing very well , pls lets shine our eyes people are moving away from oil lets stop fighting and start planing for 100 of years to come when oile will no longer be needed

Beaf:

I doubt even Kano will be able to afford salaries for more than a couple of months without oil. Most of the core North is overun by almajiri's and their sheer population of 10 million (greater than two thirds of the 224 Worlds nations) will quickly sink any ship. ND oil goes a very long way to finance all sorts of crap in Nigeria.

If these states were actually working and producing money, would they be able to afford 10 million fvcking almajiri's? The whole thing is so damn annoying!
They get free money and abuse it.

alj harem:


first of all how was nigeria developed,.,. was it the north that exported groundnuts and cottin which were the major export at that time before we even found oil at all,.,., exporting metric tonnes of cotton and groundnuts

alj harem:


secondly, the meat, pepper and tomatoes sold on the street of lagos, aba, port harcount, balysea, kwara, kogi, ebonyi, ibadan and so on,.,. who provides them,.,. or is it crude oil that we have been feeding on all this years

ShangoThor:

So what has happened, be objective, why has production diminished whilst the population has increased?

Would it not have been cheaper to import this produce than being in a political union where members of a region do not deem their to Africa and Black Africans more important than external allegiances?

alj harem:

@1st point

who told you production has diminished the production still remain the same only that the selling price is not cheaper because of countries like brazil and co

@2nd point
you might be right or wrong not too sure but in what context are you using allegiance

ShangoThor:

Production has increased? Thats news to me (or propaganda for you). Moreover, how much arable land is not being used atm.
You also are very aware of what I mean by allegiance, allegiance to the motherland, to Africa, to Nigeria, to Black Africans first.

Beaf:

I de laf!

Every thief in Nigeria forgot about their groundnut pyramids as soon as oil was discovered.
Because of free oil money, instead of developing we are overun by 10 million almajiri's.

alj harem:

1st point

i never said production has increase,.,. please read my post again,,.,. i said it remained the same because the government has not invested money on the farmers to buy equipments and other things since it is not vaible and makes no sense because of the cost od production to the ratio of the selling price of groundnut and cotton

2nd point

yes i am black first before any other thing,.,.,.  i am not arab which i clearly know and everyone in the north knows that

we have never called ourselves arabian

so what is your point

alj harem:

you see yourself and you call yourself educated

i said we can co-exist

do i have to put my religion aside because of africa

i believe Allah is more important than  any africa,.,. FACT

so why should i put a white man's word (africa) above God

tell me

you and beaf are unbelievable

alj harem:

10 million almajiri is more than the population of ijaw+isoko+urhobo+anioma all added together

this almajiri you make fun of are ruling your jonathan and will be president of this nation,., we can make the bet now mumu

Obiagu1:

Will you support any oil revenue sharing deal that would encourage the North to secede similary to the deal between Northern and Southern Sudan?

Beaf:

No.
