Honnestly i have lived all my life in the north even though i am a southerner and truthfully without prejudice to the northerners... your Leaders are the reasons why you are this backwards. Furthermore ISLAM religion is just an opium used by the AREWA leaders to twist the minds of the people....Northerners on this thread before you go on an on about hw wrong jonathan is by declaring the SOE (Which in my opinion he should have done since) think about what BH has done to your states, Kaduna and Kano in the 80's were commercial cities,business blossomed well and that brought internal revenue to your states, but now both foreign and local investors are scared of going anywhere close to these states because of the randonm and unjustified killing, this has brought more hardship on your ppl, poverty is becoming part of your mainstay and in the nearest future your states will be completely dependent on govt which myt not be so favourable again because these days the southerners have woken upp from thier slumber, and are interested in politics, the North will soon STOP rulling Nigeria, beacause southerners have decided to participate in govt too, also because of the ruthless and Vicious killings of the Middlebelters it is now obvious that they dont want to be part of the Core north so before you run your mouths like these worthless politicians who use ethnic/religious bias to create divisions look at the merits and demerrits of your arguements, What does the common northern youth gain from all these? if you think this way your opinions will change

Mr Nyakoo,you are an incompetent leader,sorround yourselve with almost 70aides-wasting tax payers money to feed your excesses-you can not implement a robust security structure for your state,and now you want to sue our president,get back to working on securing your state by cooperating fully with the security operatives-if you had done this a state of emergency would not have been declared in your state.You should thank your stars you are still in the governors seat.
