33 Reasons Why Southern Nigerians Are Not smart by pedestal82(m): 12:54pm On Jan 04, 2014
An interesting read ! The link . http:///Z4ckhLTaOR.
The North have ruled the country legally(democratically) and illegally (military) for 37 out of the 53 years. The South is very comfortable with this inequality.

Sadly, 80 per cent of Southerners who see this article will not read it!

Note: This article was not developed to ascribe to the entire Northern Nigeria the selfish antics and machination of a few individuals who belong to the region. It would be unfair to do that. Also, this article was developed not with the intention of causing incitement, but if it does – so f__king what?!

1. An average Northerner acquires a cheap transistor radio-set in order to gain political awareness from broadcasting structures such as BBC (Hausa Service), Radio Nigeria, etc. This practice has made the region the most politically-aware region in Nigeria. On the hand, an average Southerner, typically, acquires expensive smartphones equipped with FM radio receiving capability. Instead, they would rather listen to inane songs like “Your Waist”, “Skelewu”,“Ginger Your Swagger”, “NoGede”, etc.

2. Unlike the South, the North understands the importance of numbers in politics. This is why, by all strategic means necessary, the North ensures that they have a larger representation at the National Assembly.

3. Northerners don’t shout, scream, vent and speak “big grammar” to prove that they are politically intelligent on political programmes on TV and radio. Instead, they shout, scream, vent, kick, punch, taekwondo, etc on the floor of the National Assembly to promote a cause that is in their favour. The reverse is the case for the Southerners.

4.  Southern graduates/job seekers consider the public sector (government institutions) an unfashionable place for employment. Meanwhile, the Northerners massively recruit and entrench themselves into the public sector and manipulate themselves up the ranks. While all these are going on, their southern brothers and sisters spend years languishing in the labour market for the elusive jobs in blue chip organizations. Yet, Southerners complain of marginalization in the public sector.

5. For some weird reasons, the South is always frightened when the North make political pronouncements. Even weirder – for some inexplicable reasons, Senators and House of Representative members from the South appear to be too timid to oppose their northern counterparts during legislative sessions.

6. According to the gospel of the North – the Northerners were born to rule. That is, leadership (of Nigeria) is their exclusive preserve. By extension, the Southerners were born to be led!  Interestingly, certain actions of some Southerners support this belief.

7. The North has more (unrated) billionaires (in Dollars) than any region in Nigeria. For instance, a certain Alhaji Mai Deribe (an oil well licensee) would certainly laugh each time Forbes releases its ratings and his name is not listed.

8. The North doesn’t produce crude oil, but the Northern Senators had the temerity to oppose the 10% host community funds. The Southern legislators find nothing wrong in that, so long as it doesn’t affect their “constituency allowances”.

9.  {Singing}Come and see Nigeria wonder! (2x)

Statistical absurdity of the grandest order is stating that Kano is more populous than Lagos!  Dear friends, even science have proved from simple demographic distribution patterns across the globe that population increases as we move from the hinterland (desert/Savannah region) to the coast– but in the case of Nigeria, the North which lies in the arid zone, is more populous than the South – by a deviously doctored census report.  Okay o! We dey look.

10.  The North have ruled the country legally (democratically) and illegally (military) for 37 out of the 53 years. The South is very comfortable with this inequality.

11.  The North is the chief proponent of the“quota system” and “federal character” principle – a system that was crafted to sacrifice merit on the altar of “national oneness”. In simple terms, even the most unqualified gets a slot in sensitive national projects.

12.  Northern law-makers at the National Assembly- typically – rally amongst themselves to promote legislations that favours  their region (e.g. pedophilic laws). Southern law-makers typically rally amongst themselves to promote legislations that will increase their salaries and constituency allowances.

13.  To the Northerners – the census exercise is not just a statistical evaluation exercise. Instead, it is considered a key political exercise. Meanwhile, the Southern folks see census exercise as atemporal job opportunity for its largely unemployed undergraduates. In the words of Chief Festus Odimegwu (recently resigned Chairman of National Population Commission) “There has been no credible census in the country since 1816 because of manipulations”, Punch Newspaper, 18 October 2013.

14.  When it comes to regional unity – religion,politics and language are the common uniting factor for the North. Southerners(especially the South-Easterners) are never united for any course. (Oh, well, Soccer sometimes offers some measure of unity among the Southerners!).

15.  The North is the region with the least education, least resources, least development and pervasive poverty – yet, they have ruled Nigeria for 37 years out of the nation’s 53 years of independence.

16.  Only the North understands the logic behind establishing a national refinery (the Kaduna refinery) thousands of kilometres away from the point of extraction of crude oil.

17.  When it concerns the north, a new standard is always invented. FG or else, how does one explain how Sani Abacha – a near-midget –escaping the “standard height” rule of the military. Even, rising to be president.

18.  The North conceived and sold the “Boko Haram” concept as a pointer to the fact that the South is incapable of ruling the country. The South has wholesomely bought the idea. “Yes, automatically Boko Haram will disappear if  the north gets the presidency by 2015. I am sure”.  Excerpt from  the interview granted by Lawal Keita (2nd Republic Governor of Kaduna State) to the News magazine (October 2013)

19.  An “instant enemy” of the northern region is any appointed public officer (especially a female one) from the south who has the temerity to oppose their common cause. Or, one that is standing as a clog in their continued dominance in the Oil & Gas/public sector. Some southerners gleefully and ignorantly join in the attack on some of these public officials.

20.  Poverty, ignorance, lack of education,religious bigotry and fanaticism, etc. are some very powerful tools needed to effectively manipulate/control people. The Northern oligarchy is very aware of this. Hence, their manipulation of the masses in the north (using these tools) for their selfish interest.

21.  Of all the regions, the North is the least supportive of resource control, Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB), and the entrenchment of true federalism. The South finds nothing suspicious in that.

22.  It is unbelievable to believe that some WISEMEN (in a certain political party)  from the South were party to a bizarre arrangement for  “power shift” or “power rotation” between the North and the South – when, clearly, the south is home to 2 major ethnic groups and – by far – more ethnic groups than the north.

23.  The North offers the most opposition to the privatization of public (government) institutions. Opposition to privatization is principally to prevent the likely disengagement of their largely unqualified members. (BTW, till date, some people still earn salaries of close to N1m monthly from the comatose NITEL. Now guess what region most of these people are from? Note:This fact is verifiable.)

24.  The South produces the crude oil (Nigeria’s economic mainstay). However, amongst the regions, the North owns majority of the oil blocks, oil prospecting (OPL) and oil mining (OML) licenses.

25.  Northern leaders (political and religious)have never come out, unanimously, to publicly condemn the menace of Boko Haram. Southern leaders (political and religious) that publicly condemn the methods of Boko Haram attract criticisms and are described as self-seeking or seeking attention/relevance.

26.  Political power means just one thing to the North – control of the nation’s economic mainstay (Petroleum resources).  Little wonder they are vehemently opposed tothe implementation of the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB).

27.  While the north was too busy attacking some Federal Ministers from the South for “ineptitude”, they failed to notice the atrocities of Northern Ministers who were on a mission to inflict callous disparity within the sectors they were meant to oversee.

Please, kindly check out the bizarre disparity in cut off points (quota admission) into the 104 Federal Government Colleges (FGCs) aka “Unity Schools”. It was published in January,2013, by the Federal Ministry of Education under the careful supervision of Prof. Ruqayyah Ahmed Rufa’i – a “once upon a time” Minister of Education from the North. Note the disparity between cut off point for southern and northern students.

28.  Contrary to the general belief – the biggest unifying factor in Nigeria is not football , but “Crude Oil”. Now note this: The very moment crude oil (in significant commercial quantity) is discovered in the North, that day will mark the beginning of the North’s agitation for a breakaway from the entity called Nigeria.

29.  The Nigerian constitution was deliberately flawed and crafted to benefit the North.

30.  Strangely, for a nation with vastly more ethic nationalities situated in the South, it is rather suspicious that Nigeria is divided along just regional lines – The North and the South. Now, of course,we all know which region this strange dichotomy favours.

31.  The North is the region with the least education, least resources, least development and pervasive poverty – yet, they claim rulership of the nation by right (the “Born to rule” philosophy). In other words,  the north must maintain all the undeserved advantages handed them by the British colonial masters and fortified by the North-controlled military political class between  1960 and 1999.

32.  In the thinking of a typical Northerner, Arewa Northern Nigeria (not Nigeria) won the Nigerian civil war.

33.  In defending a northern interest,  if political logic fails, then religious antics and sentiments  are stirred up by the Northerner leaders.

The relocation of the nation’s capital from Lagos to Abuja was a deliberate plan of the Northern oligarchy (using the military) to situate the nation’s seat of power at the door-step of the Northerners. They, cleverly, gave Nigerians and the world the impression that everything was irreparably wrong with Lagos as the capital, and that to correct the impression, the capital would need to be situated in the heart of the northern region of Nigeria. To fulfill this arrangement – and give the relocation project an unbiased outlook – reputable Southerners (e.g. Late Justice Akinola Aguda and Tai Solarin) were recruited into the panel set up by the northern oligarchy.

WORD ON MARBLE:

“This new Nation called Nigeria should be an estate of our great grandfather, Uthman Dan Fodio. We must RUTHLESSLY prevent a change of power. We use the minorities in the north as willing tools, and the South, as conquered territory and never allow them to rule over us, and never allow them to have control over the future.” Sir Ahmadu Bello, Sardauna of Sokoto & Premier of Northern Region: The Parrot  newspaper, October 12, 1960.

Now, who is the real fool here

1. An average Northerner acquires a cheap transistor radio-set in order to gain political awareness from broadcasting structures such as BBC (Hausa Service), Radio Nigeria, etc. This practice has made the region the most politically-aware region in Nigeria. On the hand, an average Southerner, typically, acquires expensive smartphones equipped with FM radio receiving capability. Instead, they would rather listen to inane songs like “Your Waist”, “Skelewu”,“Ginger Your Swagger”, “NoGede”, etc.

2. Unlike the South, the North understands the importance of numbers in politics. This is why, by all strategic means necessary, the North ensures that they have a larger representation at the National Assembly.

3. Northerners don’t shout, scream, vent and speak “big grammar” to prove that they are politically intelligent on political programmes on TV and radio. Instead, they shout, scream, vent, kick, punch, taekwondo, etc on the floor of the National Assembly to promote a cause that is in their favour. The reverse is the case for the Southerners.

4.  Southern graduates/job seekers consider the public sector (government institutions) an unfashionable place for employment. Meanwhile, the Northerners massively recruit and entrench themselves into the public sector and manipulate themselves up the ranks. While all these are going on, their southern brothers and sisters spend years languishing in the labour market for the elusive jobs in blue chip organizations.

The relocation of the nation’s capital from Lagos to Abuja was a deliberate plan of the Northern oligarchy (using the military) to situate the nation’s seat of power at the door-step of the Northerners. They, cleverly, gave Nigerians and the world the impression that everything was irreparably wrong with Lagos as the capital, and that to correct the impression, the capital would need to be situated in the heart of the northern region of Nigeria. To fulfill this arrangement – and give the relocation project an unbiased outlook – reputable Southerners (e.g. Late Justice Akinola Aguda and Tai Solarin) were recruited into the panel set up by the northern oligarchy.

WORD ON MARBLE:

“This new Nation called Nigeria should be an estate of our great grandfather, Uthman Dan Fodio. We must RUTHLESSLY prevent a change of power. We use the minorities in the north as willing tools, and the South, as conquered territory and never allow them to rule over us, and never allow them to have control over the future.” Sir Ahmadu Bello, Sardauna of Sokoto & Premier of Northern Region: The Parrot  newspaper, October 12, 1960.

Now, who is the real fool here

There's enough to go round in Nigeria,all the people needs is just the awareness of holding those incharge accountable. People have to be able to earn their worth for the system to work.

akins56: how i wish the south could unite politically to make a statement to the northerners, but GEJ is not helping matters with his little or zero performance, he needs to convince we yoruba why we need to support him, i would want a southern president comes 2015, but some people thinks they can do it alone!,,we shall see!,,until GEJ do something of great substance for the yoruba's then i will av to abstain comes 2015, BUT ITS A NO! NO!! NO!!!,, to any pdp candidate contesting for rep,senate or governorship in SW!!!,,we are thru with dem!
.
The truth is the same northerners are fighting tooth and nail to ensure that Gej is discredited.
Are they not the brains behind labelling BH an UNEMPLOYMENT-INDUCED AGITATION GROUP? which it is not. BH IS A POLITICAL CUM RELIGIOUS AGITATION GROUP.
Just follow Nigerian history, once a southerner wins any presidential election, they(northerners) will make sure that there is serious crises but if it is a northerner that wins the election, there will be peace. The reason why they allowed Obj to rule in the first place(even though they introduced Sharia law to discredit him) is that they thought that they will still use him as they did when he was younger and secondly to compensate the west over the Abiola's mandate. IF BUHARI COULD TELL TUNDE BAKARE AS HIS VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE TO SIGN HIS RESIGNATION LETTER B4 GOING TO POOL,(hongegately he, Buhari wins the election, Bakare should resign), THEN WE NEED TO USE ANYBODY TO STOP THEM FROM SEEING THE PRESIDENTIAL SEAT, EVEN IF THE PERSON IS NOT PERFORMING. I read a thread recently where they were planning to Islamise Nigeria, even though the Christians' population is higher than that of Islams'.

Woooow! These are thoroughly articulated facts.....sentiments aside, u want to see impunity been perpetrated by North to deceive "Naijeria", come to Abuja, go to the federal ministries and parastatalsn u would think Hausa is Nigeria's official language. Its not about tribalism but about equity, fairness, true federalism. Am yoruba by tribe but when the shout against uduah was first mentioned, I reserved my comment until I was able to see beyond propaganda . Same thing with GEJ, he is on a mission to empower Nigeria despite all these silly noise. Fashola has good intentions especially during his first term but when he realised that Tinubu would drain him politically, omo, shartp sharp he complied. Aganga and the agriculture minister are making strides while the northern oligarchs are moving us backwards. Average notherner want peace, but due to high level of illiteracy and poverty with religious sentiments, they are blindly following their wicked leaders. What baffle me is the un-informed views of most Nigerian youths. You want to see lack of enlightenment of the typical Nigerian youth, come to Nairaland and read comments. Tell them GEJ slept with oduah (literarily, gbam they believe it hook, line and sinker when google is there for them to make simple research. Future leaders indeed!

He should be banned because of bitter truth. Why is it that Buhari's own state is worst giv by BH and yet he wants to rule Nigeria? Did he not promise blood spill if Gej won? Can u now reconcile it with what is happening now? We should wait until you people succeed in milking the country dry. Intellectually poor but want to rule by force. If the right set of people have been ruling this country, Nigeria should av been the America of Africa, but the reverse is the case.
SOMEBODY THAT IS RELIGIOUSLY AND TRIBAL SENTENEMUAL WANT TO RULE A MULTI-LINGUAL CUM RELIGIOUS STATE LIKE NIGERIA. He should in and rule his village.

Obj was from the west. If u find yourself in the shoes of the militants, you should av done worse. Look at the level of development in a hilly place like Abuja. It was developed with the money realised from the sales of crude oil from the south-south. In some parts of the Niger Delta, the same water into which they poo is drank and also used in cooking together with other domestic purposes. Which person will be happy to be that type of Father Xmas?

They are not so true as they look but that is the perception of most Nigerians. And for your info Nlanders, there's nothing called the North presently in naija. Ask southern kadunas, plataeu, benue,taraba,nasarawa,southern gombe and bauchi, and adamawa people .You will marvel at what they tell you. The death of MKO and the consequence OBJ has destroyed that myth. And please when you attack Asiwaju Tinubu, do it wt facts and not lies and unfounded sentiments mixed with hatred. From now on i'm no longer keeping quiet while you attack a good man and mislead people. Maybe you should go n do a thorough research and educate me on the 'attrocities' of Tinubu. I'm waiting!

It is the British that taugh the northernal all this things it date back to the colonial era where direct rule were use in the north and indirect rule in the south a typical westerner will always argue with the D.O then the Awolowo and Azikwe of then but with the Tafabalewa it is always as your majesty wishes the British knows that if the southerner we're to rule Nigeria in future they will have problem controlling is asset that was when they told them to never allow south to rule and the have been helping them achieve this and remember when the southerner calll for indepedet in 1960 the northerners opposed it then , even it is reflect in our foolish coat of arms two horses is toiling day and night to the bird who will fly away when the situation get worse,unless we divide or we keep singing we shall overcome one day.

Nice article, well written, but can I ask? Wats d purpose of d write up? Dat we shud take up arms against d north? I tink d best tin to do is for us to always vote for n support the best man for d job, irrespective of ethnicity n religion. And I tink GEJ is on course hence my unwavering support for him, just as I once supported d late Yaradua at least for his simplicity, uncorruption n meekness.

If we at d south get agitated and start marginalisin d north, we too ar guilty as dey are. Let's rally support for GEJ and instead of baseless criticism, let's hold him accountable for his actions. Thank u.

The truth is that majority of the Southerners aren't smart and destined to be FOOLS for life, especially the SS/SE. They think intelligence is by shopping for certificates like our Phd presido wereas an NCE holder from the north has proven to be more intelligent.

Removing the regime of OBJ, the other southerners that led this country have proven their inability to lead without a pronounced level of bias, lack of tacit approach to issues.

Re: 33 Reasons Why Southern Nigerians Are Not smart by Babacele: 6:17pm On Jan 04, 2014
If this article is written in good faith, we should pardon the source. Otherwise, it is an article to divide us more, use us and dump us the masses into socio-economic poverty by the Nigerian political elites. Please people reason with me.

1. If the so called North has ruled for 37years -which means handling the national resources for 37yrs, and all we get is underdevelopment,poverty, illiteracy, child abuse(almajiri). Then where the money goes? Answer: the millitary and political class,the elite,- a tiny population have stolen or misappropriated the resources.

2. We shouldn't forget that southern elites were part of this unholy class because neither of the two elite group could have done their oppression and looting without the tarcit support and connivance of the other. So the elite plague is also in south too depite all the noise? The annulment of June 12 proves this. You don't understand? Ok check this out: June 12 is the only election where majority of Nigerians came together as 1 irrespective of tribe, religion,status,and sex to vote MKO n kingibe - a muslim -muslim and christains and other faithfuls never gave a damn but the elite headed by IBB were very sad. Knowing MKO's hatred for poverty, and passion for blackman's enmancipation, they know that the masses would have been liberated and would have compared good governance and better government under MKO to delibrate filth and incompetence as epitimized under IBB.
So they connived against us and annul June12. But they never bargained for what an MkO can do. They bribed,lied,intimidated, and killed but they met an unprecedented bulwark and got seriously bruised. First was IBB who was forced out of power he will never get again in this lifetime despite his unmerited love for it. And so on and so on. All we need is a Nigerian with an unbiased love for Nigeria .
Re: 33 Reasons Why Southern Nigerians Are Not smart by jamace(m): 6:41pm On Jan 04, 2014
This article is truth personified and pointblank.

Whether the article is meant to divide us or not, I don't care. We must negotiate equality in this country during the national conference or we bid bye-bye to this amalgamated nonsense. To be one Nigeria is not by force.

We must not live like monkey and baboon any longer.
