No bros. I don't think he will dare argue the fact that the south is better. The infrastruture in the pictures he even posted were built with monies from the south. Even that camera he snapped with is "made in Aba, China extension".
north is better for me.
I've stayed in both regions.... pH, Lagos..... gosh these places are just so expensive to live in, and oh, most southern cities are just too overcrowded.

And that makes you know everywhere and how developed it is. Well the basis of this thread is not for comparison. How is this any different from all the other threads of southern States? We only show the developed parts.

Please there is a difference between develop and fine house. please name a place that is developed in that north. what you showing is fine buildings that does not even have a functioning facilities. i was at that nagwamatse house last two week and nothing works not even an occupant in the fifth floor upward and someone will see 10 story thing its real.

Mr Poster what of Borno and Adamawa?

The problem with the north isn't in your original post. The simple reason people dread you and your people is the well recorded history of intolerance and hostility to others who neither share nor subscribe to your ideologies and faith.

For many years even before Maitasine and Boko Haram northern youths have been known for periodic riots that always seem to involve the burning of churches with the destruction of lives and properties of non northerners.

I lived in the north for years my self and you know it is true. For me and my family Abuja is the boundary. Anybody going beyond is parking his life at owners risk!

every state has its slum. but trust me man the slums in the southern part of Nigeria are the worst out there true story.
just take a stroll to makoko, ajegunle, somolu etc in Lagos and you'll weep for the residents there.

Dont want to really go into politics but truth is only thing that has really changed in kd in d last 15yrs is kawo bridge and rapid urbanisation in barnawa/kd south. Kaduna shud hv been far ahead with purposeful leadership. The city is still not looking bad, just stagnant.

Re: THE TRUE FACE OF THE NORTH by lastpage: 5:51pm On Oct 12, 2014
Aah, this cant be the same "North" l know inside-out!
My work in the past requires that l travel to every state we have a Branch, virtually every state in Nigeria has one or more branches!
I spend a month or more in each state at a go and l re-visit all these places at least twice in the year!

Now, this is not the North we all know.
This pictures only depicts a TINY SPRINKLE of nice locations in the North
Wait, you mean this is all the WHOLE NORTH of about 16-STATES have to offer?


And to think some of the buildings shown are even owned by Southerners!

Show us the Schools, Higher institutions, Hospitals, Industries, e.t.c in each state.

I am surprised l did not even see Babangida's Hilltop mansion, which is one of the best buildings in the North in that pix (Dont bother about whose money he stole to build it, thats another story).

What about Boko 'ar Rams that full everywhere?
Where are the Military presence?
Where are the supporters of APC with their charms and amulets?
Where are the Cattle Rustlers with the AK-47 slung across their shoulders?
Where are the Kunu sellers?
Where are the millions of Achaba (Motorcycles) that flood the road and make cars catch cold and shiver? grin
Where are the hordes of street urchins (Almanjeri) with a bowl in one hand, running from one Chairman's house to the other, looking for food?
Where are the road-side traders?


I know some of the pics are "lifted" from files (one even have the Logo on it) but please, if you want to present the WHOLE NORTH, present it "AS IT IS" and let us make our judgement!

Even Abuja and Lagos have their own slums, and cant be excluded from their image... talk-less of the North!

Anyway, l applaud your effort to "re-engineer our perception" but please, do it with utmost honesty.


Lastpage!

BTW: The north is beautiful in its "own way", no need trying to compare it to the Souther States. The North as a whole, will always remain the "North";

Op, why are you repeating and duplicating pictures now? Wasting storage and bandwidth on Seun's Servers! Please streamline the pics.
