afam4eva: What ignorance. you know more about my state than I do? Have you ever been to Kwara b4? Or you are just regurgitating some trash you heard on Nairaland? Every Yoruba state is about evenly split, Kwara is no exception. |

Who said northernes are not intelligent? Prof Iya Abubakar is a northerner and a reknown and notable mathematician in the world like prof Chike Obi. You can google it to see. Stop condeming them all. Some of the educated northerners are more intelligent than their southern mates. And who said we have more xtains in the southern than in the north? Most southerners whom u think are xtains are juju worshippers. There are more christains in some northern states than muslims. Go there and see for urself. To some extent we have more muslims in some south western states than in some northern states. The problem of the north is religious & political intolerance, and that is largely responsible for its backwardsness. |

nanos:Are you suggesting that a leader should focus on his particular section of the country and neglect others? Nigeria still has a long way to go. No wonder people kill to have the president come from their part of the country. Good leadership should be the aim not sectionalism and tribalism. |

How come i'm just seeing this thread? Jarus & OAM4J, you aint doing your jobs and i'm very angry with this! @OP : You are correct. I find it extremely depressing too when I have to talk so much convincing people i'm a core aboki, southerners believe that we are all dark and skinny so when they 'jam' a very lightskinned, chubby and fat chic like me, they make a fool of themselves |

My parents were civil servants so due to frequent transfers was oppurtuned to have lived and schooled in almost all the major geopolitical zones in Nigeria. I totally agree with the poster on this issue, it is so unfortunate that the very small percentage of religious extremists in north is giving the whole region a bad name. I have seen many families in the north that allow their children to practice whatever religion they want, I have seen many muslim men with christian wives (A perfect example was my professor in the university, a core muslim and hausa and his wife, a very strong christian and igbo. They have been married for 35years plus but still love each other like teenagers), there are so many other examples I can give to let people who care to be educated understand that the numbers of nice and open minded people in the is morethan 100 times the numbers of 'killers'. Educationaly, the northerners have lagged behind no doubt just as how Ebonyi state and some parts of the east have to, but I can say the number of educated northerners are very high to. Why it seems as if majority of them are uneducated is because it is the illiterate ones that marry many women and produce uncountable numbers of children, thereby increasing the population of the region's illiterates, also the rif-rafs that that go about killing people in the north during cises are similar to the area boys in Lagos bustops or Onitsha markets, the only difference is that they have been made vulnerable to extremists who pose as religious teachers. Having said all these, I think the problem with many Nigerians is exactly what miss. Chimamanda Adiche talked about on one of the TED talks series 'the single story' syndrome. We sit in the comfort of our zones and read or listen to only the negative reports from other zones. A trully educated man is one who questions everything with an understanding that their is a two face to every issue. |

Great thread. Most southerners have stereotypical views about Northerners as security guards, butchers, fundamental muslims et al It doesn't help that most often Northerners pique our interest, it's always as a result of religious riots or petty matters turning deadly. Also we never really got to know or mix with them at least down south. I could probably count on one hand the number of northerners I met while schooling and I think a few others may attest to that. However over the past few years, I do gloss over infos, facts, demographics about northerners and learnt a few bits and pieces about the equestrian lifestle, their love of polo, durbans, interesting landscapes and more. Various ethnic groups; shuwa arabs, tuaregs, kamuku etc More pics here http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=1467315

all4naija: If that is to be the truth why is the Muslim population more than the Christian's in Nigeria?That's a lie from the pit of hell. How can Muslims be more than Christians when we did not conduct a religious census. |

Rivers state has ikwerres igbos izons(kalabari,okrika,bonny,opobo,aandoni),ogoni,eleme,ndonis,ogba(omoku) etc they are difFrent people though some have similar languages but they are diffrent people. We are not british even if we speak english, people who share a common tend to have alterations in their dialects and wif time people can loose their original dialects like agbor people in delta state who were originally from benin. |
Re: The North That Southerners Don’t Know by cjrane: 2:43pm On Sep 08, 2012 |
It does not matter if you are muslim or christian. Afterall, not all muslims are terrorists. I do think southerners understand the north more than the northerners understand themselves nor southerners. The average northerner walks around with a feeling of entitlement, while the average southerner walks around with a feeling of hope in his hardwork. The north of Nigeria has one of the most fertile soil in the world. Most food grown in Nigeria like cassava,yam,corn,sorghum, cotton, groundnut,onions,tomatoes,mellon etc grow fantastically in the north. Yet, drive from Maiduguri to kano, to Abuja and all you see is very poor villages with so much fallow land around them!!! They are sitting right there with fertile land that can make them so rich,but they are fighting for other peoples' oil and starving!!! Until the north understand that what would create wealth would be to develop her God given resources instead of inflating national vital statistics data in order to unfairly steal other region's resources, the north shall remain a poor and desolate place. |
