Power of population at play. Is the north really more than the south in terms of population? APC woos the north and Oga Jona stylishly persuading the north, making them feel important. 2015 will decide sha!!! Fingers crossed, watching with keen interest. 4 Likes |

Sincerely GEJ has done a lot however his greatest downfall is what he has not done, like garner the courage to sack Oduah, or fight corruption with one heart. I hope APC win in 2015 because I want to see the alternative they claim. Once the country has seen that its no different the military boys would be ushered back in. 16 Likes |

My guy, it goes beyond trying to make the north feel important. What Boy Jona is telling them is that they can develop, be rich and add to the country's wealth by making use of the resources the have with them which for worth more than the oil in the south. So they should stop fighting to take over the Fed Govt in order to control oil money Na me I see am o. 21 Likes |

I quite agree with Mr President on the fact that North has more resources that needs to be harnessed. North also has fertile land for farming and cultivation of crops. But the problem has always been bad leadership. Most northern leaders don't look inward or try to invest in non oil sector all they want is Revenue and their share of the money so they can embezzel it. Take for instance Adamawa state alone can feed the whole of Nigeria with its vast land, good soil but sadly they are still backward. Atiku is busy buying up lands in yola while Nyako is busy fighting GEJ whereas masses are suffering. 31 Likes |

I'm sorry to say that this statement, credited to the President, is another admission of gross incompetence, failed policies by his administration, and outright cluelessness. A competent government with well thought-out plans would have voted $1billion for the development of the solid minerals in the North back in 2012. As the President admited, these resources are in abundance in that region. Guess what GEJ's government did in 2012 - it voted $1b for inland exploration for oil in the country’s inland basins particularly the Chad Basin. To date, a drop of oil is yet to be discovered in the area, while most of the $1billion has disappeared into thin air. Here's a link to the announcement of this The President's speech writers are incompetent clowns and GEJ himself continues to prove that he has no idea what his ministers are really doing on his behalf. 10 Likes |

They will continue to say this guy is clueless. Look at the wayhe marshalled his points here telling the bitter truth. Gej should sponsor an executive bill to remove all mineral resources exploration from the hands of central government so that each region can be able to tap their resources and develop their region on their own With this no governor will go cap in hand to beg for fund from the president. This will also make the center unattractive to all these gluttons. 8 Likes |

The President is spot on, but saying Niger Delta land is only on oil. I don't completely agree there. I believe Ogoni, Ndokwas, Ikas and even Ikwerres have massive land for agricultural purposes. The rest, he is spot on. 4 Likes |

Keep grasping at Straws, guy. The above balderdash is nothing but red herring. Try that with your fellow intellectual midgets. Return to the thread when you are ready to dispute my claim that wasting $1billion to explore oil in the chad basin in 2012 was a dumb idea and that the money would have been better spent in developing solid minerals in the area. I also stated that the President's speech writers are incompetent and you are similarly unable to offer compelling reasons why I am wrong. You should be ashamed of yourself. 6 Likes |

Just got this info that the groundnut pyramids of the 50s and 60s were produced in present Benue-Plateau and moved to Kano due to the presence of the northern region Produce Board. Food crops such as yam, cassava, maize, rice; and fruits like oranges, pineapples, tomato etc can all do very well in middle belt states of Nasarawa, Niger, Benue, Plateau, Taraba, Kogi. This belt also has huge deposits of solid minerals. Crops that do well in arid region like sorghum, millet ,and cotton can be is available in NW/NE. GEJ has revived more dams for irrigation farming in the core North than any other govt in history. 13 Likes |
