The truth is, northerners travel outside Nigeria more than any other tribe in the country. The reason you clueless southerners don't see it as common enough as you think is, we travel in silence, we do our business there in silence, we study in silence and even come back into the country in silence.

The only few southerners that do travel out of the country are all into illegal things like drugs, Internet fraud, child trafficking and all sorts of international crimes one can think of. If the western world catches and deports back a Nigerian, it's simply Emeka or Tunde and you will never find Musa on the list. Of course this is the same reason we now have a drug lord president from one of the major tribes in Nigeria, not northerner.

Below is a list of 77 most wanted Nigerian criminals as published by FBI. They all comprised of Igbos and Yorubas and not a single Hausa man.

1. Valentino Iro AKA Obinna
2. CHUKWUDI CHRI STOGUNUS IGBOKWE
3. JERRY ELO IKOGHO , aka J Man
4. ADEGOKE MOSES OGUNGBE aka PP
5. ALBERT LEWIS CATHEY aka ALB
6. TITYAYE MARINA MANSBANGURA aka MARINA
7. CHUKWUDI COLLINS AJAEZE, aka Thank You Jesus
8. AUGUSTINE NNAMDI aka JAZZ
9. CHARLES OHAJIMKPO aka Giggs
10. CHIMAROKE OBASI

Full list here: https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/348131-full-list-of-77-nigerians-charged-by-fbi-for-massive-fraud-in-america.html?tztc=1

On a final note, stop deceiving yourself that the North doesn't travel, they do more than any other tribe but they do everything in silence. Like I mentioned earlier, the few ones among you that do end up in committing crimes that is why you are always on the news destroying Nigeria's image in the eyes of foreigners.

We travel out but just for vacation, study and business but we always come back to our home state.

I and my siblings with friends have travelled to various Western countries, but we came back after what took us there.

Also, Northerners get their visa with ease as long as you applied for it and willing to travel, The VO won't even ask so many questions if they see you are from Northern Nigeria.
Stop lying. Northerners are Nigerians and use use the Nigerians passport. Quota system only works to your advantage in Nigeria or in any venture where Nigerian government has a say. In the case of applying for visa, it doesn't work. Don't ask me how I know - I lived in Abuja for years and did business with people from the North including core northerners when I was back in Nigeria

See this one, who you wan deceive? You can only deceive people that don't travel. Northerners' names don't appear because only the very rich among you travel and they're very few in number. In the middle East and north Africa where northerners go to, they're fully represented in the crime scene

It's a good thing to stay and develop your region, it shows pride and self sustainability of a people. But I see lots of Almajiris in Lagos and South South states.

God bless you sir. There are even significant number of multigenerational black Palestinians who trace their origin to Northern Nigeria. Like a century ago, their ancestors moved from Nigeria to settle in Palestine in solidarity with the Palestinians and Islam. Some stayed back while some kept moving back and forth. There's an ancient trade route from northern Nigeria to the whole Northern Africa that's still active till today for moving goods to Northern Africa.

There's a particular popular cap Northern Africans and Arabs wear, they source it from Northern Nigeria. In fact, in one aljazeera documentary, an Arabian merchant in Egypt or so acknowledged that they source those caps only from Northern Nigeria because that's only where the original authentic brand of that cap comes from.
There's so much ignorance most Youths in the South have about the North and it's so sad.
The North has produced a lot of best graduating students in the top southern universities more than most even know.

If you attend top Nigerian universities located in the SW like UNILAG, UI and OAU to study the top courses like Pharmacy, Medicine, Engineering, Maths/Statistics, Agriculture, you must have met at least one of those Northerners. They are geniuses and most are so integrated that you may not even know that they are Northerners. Some speak Yoruba very fluently and most that I know are from Kano, Kaduna and Borno. Kano leads though, probably because of their huge population I can't say 100% or as a state policy. The few I know are proteges of Kwankwaso

Smh. I can see that your stark ignorance is giving you blissful satisfaction. Go on and keep wasting your time and life scoffing

Oga your epistles are unnecessary. Northerners are the least educated region in Nigeria - by a very very large margin. That doesn't mean you'll not see one smart and intelligent one occasionally. If they embrace education, you'll see that more often because they're humans and race or ethnicity has less to do with intelligence. Race and ethnicity only affects intelligence when their way of life is anti education like we have in the north

Like I said before a northerner that is willing to travel won't have much challenges as a Southerner would have.

The VO knows that we always come back and we don't do drugs, but they know that the probability of a Southerner returning is slim.
Re: Why Don't Northerners Travel Out Like Southerners? by U09ce: 4:38pm On Sep 02, 2023
The average northerner doesn't dream of living in another man's country - whether in the eastern or western hemisphere. We might travel out to seek for education and business opportunities BUT the heart is attached to the homeland. That's more reason why northerns are more patriotic. In contrast, we have thousands(or millions?) of southerners who don't want their next generation to be Nigerians. Different strokes for different folks
The southerner will cross northern Nigeria to embark on a treacherous journey into Europe. The northerners transport them along the way but they're in no way enamored by the scamper their compatriots do.

You don't come back because you don't travel. Only the super rich can afford to travel and come back. This post isn't about the multimillionaires that can afford to go for business meetings, social functions, vacations. The super rich from the south get visa easily too and they always come back. Stop mixing this thing up

Guess you have inferiority complex. Why do you keep on repeating the words "Super rich" are some my friends Super rich when they travelled? You can see a northerner that went to public universities and later on traveled to Europe for his PGD but still come back, ask me why we always come back and I will tell you the reason stop hiding behind the low self esteem mentality of the super-rich defence.

Agreed we have poor people that can't afford traveling same goes to south they have poor people that can't afford it either. Some middle class in the south take loans, and sell off their family-landed properties before they can afford to travel.


Like I said I don't have any reason to relocate abroad like millions of northerners like me.

Well, you sounded like they travel for holidays/vacations, over the weekend business, board meeting and then come back.

If you mean those that travel for things like studies, they don't have to be super rich but they have to be rich or have rich sponsors as well - we all know the number of people that can afford that in the north are limited. And those that can afford that don't embrace education. The few that embrace education are more likely to go to Islamic countries in East and North africa or some middle eastern or Muslim majority countries in Asia.


The whole point is, Hausa people are not noticeable in Europe not because they don't like to stay, but because they number of them that travel are very limited. If not, a lot of southerners travel for education and still come back home but we're still very much here.

I'm well traveled myself so I'm not talking for talking sake

Mansa Musa came back from his famous pilgrimage with loads of scholars and employed them to start what is now known as University of Timbuktu.

For your information, it was Mansa Musa's wealth that attracted these blood-sucking white men who came to establish the slave trade and later the colonial seats that still control many of Africa's governments till date.

Africa is the richest land in terms of arable farmland, mineral resources and has been acclaimed as the cradle of human civilization. Forget the revisionist narrative you have been taught in history books which makes us glorify Mungo Park, Hugh Clapperton, David Livingston, Richard and John Lander, etc as discoverers.

Discoverers of where? Were there no natives in the places they went?

I can tell you now as someone that has lived in the middle east for 6 years. I only met one northerner in my time in Qatar and Dubai and he was from Kaduna. I have never met a proper Hausa or Fulani abroad either in Asia or Europe or Australia. I don't know about America

Possibly. In all my years in a few African countries and Europe, I've never seen a northerner either. I've always wondered about this for years
