malele: All because of oil, this national conference, let everybody control the resources in his state, so that stupid people won't be coming to media to talk rubbish

abbakacici: what is illiteracy is defined as the inability to read and write. or Having little or no formal education. and the funny thing is that the so called almajiri can actual read and write in two language hausa (ajami using arabic words ) if you have ever seen naira you will seen the hausa (ajami) and arabic and the north have actual being doing that for more than a 1000 years so last 120 years when the British came they have nothing to shows the northerner only better Guns. the north have legal systems (courts) with judges appointed by the Emir, school system, tax and welfare systems etc so you don't expect them to just throw away every thing just to embrace new stuff, while in the south especially south east have nothing only an amazing bronze work so it become very easy from them to just accepted every thing the white guy bring his religion, his legal system, ruling system most igbo community start having kings after the birtsih came before was just red cap chiefs (like a round table) and his education system because there are is no evident that a single IGBO can read and write in any language because 1800s

How Far?:


They've always had it their way hence they see GEJ as upsetting the apple-cart.

el bin manny: Where were they wen the land of udi in Bayelsa was brought down to ground zero
Their daughters raped
Their sons killed
Cos they asked for a little from what God blessed their land with?

Where were they wen the people of Niger Delta were starving , cos their farm lands and aquatic life has been destroyed by oil spillage

Where were they when the children of the south south were learning under trees?

Where were they wen when expectant mothers were dying at home during child birth cos they lacked health centers

Where were they wen there was no motorable roads or drinking water
When the oil money was used in building mega cities up north ?
*
*
*
Where were there wen most parts of the niger delta only got to know what electricity is all about
After providing 90% of the country's revenue for over 40 yrs
*

All these Northern welfare candidates na God go punish una one by one !!!!!

you must be a fool to suggest this am sure you where not born when agriculture from the north was used to fund this country now you talk about managing the resources from your own state. You guys are drowning in the stream of ignorance.

Kwankwaso got it all wrong by basing his criticism of the GEJ administration on his inability to allocate more funds to the North. Personally, it would ve made more sense for him to challenge the present system of Government we are practising which has made it impossible for state to fully utilise their human and natural resources. The North are blessed with enormous natural and Human resource(Nasarawa state alone has almost 179 Natural mineral Resources), and the like of Kwankwaso should clamour for true federalism which would give them the opportunity to reach their full potential socio-economically . A Northerner being the president of Nigeria would not in anyway mitigate the High level of poverty and illiterary(lack of western education) in the North, rather[b] true democracy[/b] would give them the leeway to develop economically, which would translate to an overall transformation of the region.
To cap it all, GEJ is not the reason for the under development in the North and other parts of the country, the system( which is akin to a military govt) should be held responsible. True federalism would bring Government closer to the people, and would in turn would make the seat of presidency in Aso Rock less enticing, and also it would propel people to understand the rudiments of Govt and as well to hold their leader accountable for any misgivings.

realGURU: I dont blame u south eastners at all!, we spare u alots,
if not for the MISTAKES of history (colonisation by british) . UTHMAN DAN FODIYO WOULD consume u completely because what was left is only quarter and if Not for the sudden death of UMMARU that bullshit will never smell aso rock

Polio:

Kid yourself.. GEJ won't go beyond his current tenure

You are in for a massive disappointment

No amount of rigging and bribery or corruption will keep him there beyond the end of the current tenure!

Demdem:

Fool, u arent making sense.

halilu44: Everyone screaming Gej till 2019. How is he going to win if the North and South west don't support him. Who is going to do the rigging for him in this places. Even in the South east we are having Ameachi and Rochas not on his side. So please someone should do the maths for me.

nagoma:

The so called educated south were leading for last 12 years. All we had was injustice and corruption. There is no sign of development despite the huge amount of resources at their disposal. The southern selfish savages that have no history of altruism and FairPlay keep on talking about their superior education while they are destroying the country because of their greed. Name one quality the south has demonstrated over the north in Nigeria's quest for development.eediots The so called educated south has produced GEJ - the most incompetent and clueless president ever in Nigeria - perhaps in whole of Africa. When GEJ leaves eventually , we have to start from the scratch. A wasted century due to a selfish incompetent southerner.

POPE II: the south is the sole reason Nigeria is called a third world country and an emerging economy. If it wasn't for us or if it was only for the North Nigeria would b called a 5th world country.

backtosender: This is why i blame ZIK! As nobody seem to have identified his major mistake, though it is against my ethics to criticize a dead but must for the purposes of driving home my point note that it was Zik that delayed our independence till 1960 in other to wait for those that we share nothing in common, who are now fighting us both political and terror attacks here and there. The 1st was the amalgamation of 1914 which he had no hand in. An opportunity came begging in 1957 for our liberation & the northerners said we should have our independence if we wanted that for them, they were not ready. Was it not Zik that insisted we must wait for them? Now u see,does it wort it?

Captain Codes:

Ode! Blame that on your leaders..

Eroms4life17: . He is in APC already. Or ar u a learner?

Gamji007:

Rubbish!

I have so far, not seen a governor as prudent and as transparent as Rabiu Kwankwaso.

The level of development is so high despite the spate of bombings and insurgency attacks that bedevilled the state.

Unlike Baba Peace who keeps making Boko haram attacks faraway from Abuja, as excuses for poor government performance, Kwankwaso has been firm and remained undeterred in achieving his governments objective.

Kwankwaso has every moral justification to call GEJ Incompetent!

omonla555: Governor Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso of Kano, northwest Nigeria has declared President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan as incompetent and incapable to fix challenges of development in the country.

Kwankwaso told northern elders who visited his office that Nigeria is drifting towards calamity because President Jonathan lacks the competence to manage the affairs of the country appropriately.

The governor, during a meeting with the leadership of Northern Elders Forum at the Government House, said despite advice and observations from respected leaders and leaders from within and outside the country on how to put Nigeria on the right track, the presidency has insensitive.

“When we met with the president, as Northern Governors, he told us that the former US Secretary of State, Lady Clinton, told him that as President he has to look at the issue of the North very critically. She noted that there was an imbalance in terms of patronage, appointments and sharing of resources.

“He assured that he was looking at those comments and that was why he was delaying appointments into boards and so on. Since that meeting, we have not seen anything or changes so it is my conclusion that the President lacks the capacity and courage to do the right thing”, the governor stated.


Na waa for these core -northerners o . During yaradua a notherner was petroleum minister, Finance Minister, Minister for National Planning and even CBN governor at a time. Yet the south tolerated it. They did not sink the country. Look at such ministries well and you will agree that everything about Nigeria's wealth was under their control despite the fact that the wealth comes from the south. I pitty this country.


He lamented that the federal budget is heavily tilted in favour of one section of the country, pointing out that a situation where one section of the country is suffering from illiteracy, underdevelopment and misery while the other section has more than enough is not good for national unity.

The governor maintained that a situation whereby a section of the country is given priority over other areas is not in the best interest of all, pointing out that it is high time for the Federal Government to be sensitive to what is being felt by the international community.

“We have had enough crises in this country and it is not right to plant seeds for crisis in the future. Look at the North East that was allocated N2 billion in the current budget. N2 billion is what Mr. President allocated to non-APC states for supporting him, while N111 billion was allocated to the South East and South-South. This is not close to fairness”, the governor argued.

He, however, said that his position on current national issues is not premised on religion, ethnicity or sectionalism but stems from the desire to see that every Nigerian, irrespective where he comes from is treated without discrimination, Kwankwaso asserted that it is time for members of the National Assembly to come out and oppose injustice that is perpetrated by the government.

The governor noted that what is happening in the country in terms of poverty, insecurity and joblessness in the North today should not be happening in civilized societies, appealing to the Federal Government to listen to the voices of reason so as to move the country in the right direction.

Kwankwaso also noted that the Northern Elders Forum is one body in the North which has continuously expressed concern over the way Nigeria is being run under President Jonathan.

He pledged to continue to work with all people of good conscience to bring about good governance in Nigeria.

Earlier, in their separate remarks, the chairman of the forum, Alhaji Yusuf Maitama Sule, Danmasanin Kano and his deputy, Wanteregh Paul Unongo explained that they are not satisfied with current political developments in the country, especially as they affect the North.

They said the visit to Kwankwaso was to identify with his achievements and sterling leadership qualities as well as to look at several issues that will bring about responsible governance, unity and even development of the country.
