perhaps you are not aware that every state governor gets a federal allocation (money) from the federal government every month to provide all those basic things you lack?

kindly ask your current governor and his predecessors what they have done with the allocations for your state since it all started then you will appreciate governors of those cities you see on T.V for using their monies judiciously on their people and infrastructure. and then, you will know who is to blame for your problems.

you aggression towards other people apart from your tribe and your die hard believe in your manipulated islam cannot be excluded from part of your problems. you and your tribesmen had slain innocent investors out of hatred and religious intolerance. the people who would have helped build your community with investment and provide you gainful employment had all been slain cold blooded. so i guess rip what you sow. you join terrorists at your own risk

Leerikz: sometimes i ask myself, was it my fault that i was born into a northern family??, life seems to hold nothing for a young hopeful northern born child like me,i was born in a rural area in zamfara state,a typical Hausa community, i was raised accordingly by my parents, on getting to my teenage years, it dawned on me that everything seemed to follow one pattern in my community, it was compulsory for everyone to follow the Muslim faith, it also seemed compulsory for every male indigene to marry from the same community, i observed the whole life process here, everything seemed the same, nothing different ever happened, men were born local and died local, the whole community lacked innovation, nobody ever thought of anything new, life was an everyday process which everyone had to follow. there was hardly any form of electricity supply in my community, power was supplied on very rare occasions, and on such white collar days, the whole village would gather at the village square to watch tv, most times news, probably to everyone else, they were having fun and expressed it with big grins on their faces, when they saw big cities like lagos, kano, abuja and the rest on television, to me, it was like watching a totally different world, most of the things i saw on television were non-existent in my community,good roads, water supply, electricity and the rest. It all seemed alien-like when i saw them, the schools we had in my community seemed like death traps, with the buildings dilapidated and slowly collapsing due to age, i used to imagine how old those buildings must be, not to talk of the kind of teachers we had, most of them took extra holidays and came to school whenever they wished, we were mostly taught Islamic doctrine and a little bit of arithmetic and English to go with, you would wonder where we the students got our motivation to keep attending school, it all seemed that school seemed to be the most exciting thing happening around us, even though we could not say we had even up to quarter of what you would regard as a stellar education. I myself had dreams to be different, to make my community a happening place, to make my family proud of me, to help all kids in my community have standard education, to put good roads and water in place for my people, but as i grew up, i faced reality and it dawned on me that my dreams would eventually amount to nothing, 'where would i start from?' was the question i asked myself frequently, i was willing to do anything to actualize my dreams, but everytime i tried to muster a little hope for the future, my dreams were dashed by reality .life went on like this for a long while until something happened sometime in August 2008,a group of men came to our community school and separated the male folk from the female folk, we were told that a lot is going to change in our lives in the next few months and advised to prepare for anything.The lessons we were having at school changed totally,we were now lectured in the reason why our lives and community had come to be like this, we were told by our instructors that our kind was hated and neglected in the whole of Nigeria, we were shown videos of how our kind performed roles of servants to the society in urban areas, how our kind seemed to poverty stricken and isolated in such towns and cities, we were told that we would be in the same situation if we tried traveling to such places in search of greener pastures. Therefore we had to do something that would make our lives and that of our families better, we were told that if we cooperated, our families would be rewarded with huge amounts of money and life would get better. We were then told that it would involve killing and suicide bombing for our plans to really work out. Already our minds were prepared for anything. That was how we took up arms to fight for better lives for ourselves and for our families.So next time you want to open your mouth to judge the youth who have joined boko haram,think of the situation of this young man, think of the plight of his family and underdevelopment that had eaten deep in to lives of everyone in their community. live positively!.

Leerikz: ..you won't be saying this if you were in the shoes of the many youth who have found themselves in this situation

Excuse me? We in the south where not born with silver spoon either, do you know how many kilometers my dad trekked to get to the only secondary school in his district? , and he lived in a mud house, no roads, no infrastructure but was focused and graduated from the same school. Worked hard for three years and after saving enough for university, he went to the university and today everyone is proud of him.. the northern ideology is the problem, why dint the poverty stricken people in the south result to bombing people and send thousands of their country men to the great beyond.

You people from the north will never learn.
So the northerners in the east came for business while the igbos in the north came to beg right
Even with ur level of education(at least u can read & write) u still reason like this.
You people from the north do things without thinking of the consequences. Violence can never bring development to the north.
If not for violence and wickedness places like jos should be competing with cross river or even Dubai in terms of tourism.

Bravo! You'd successfully and vividly described a typical northern setting.Your claim that you were
"brought up accordingly" and that Boko Haram/terrorism propagation/initiation took place in an educational setting is fictitious!
Pls,next time know how to make your claims rational.

NONSENSE! Op: this is a fabricated write-up. The writer is not a northernern. The writer should have mention the part of Zamfara state. We shuldnt encourage evil. And suicide bombing and killing of innocents will never bring development. Its not Islamic. Every state of the federation has its allocation. If any state is under developed, its citizens should hold the Governor responsible.

Stillfire: To think Northerners have been at the helm of affairs in Nigeria since I was born.
You are taking up arms to kill the Nigerian people that are suffering like you? You are not serious.
You say you took up arms to fight for better lives? So bombing innocent people at motor parks who have chosen to make lemonade out of the diseased lemons Nigeria throws at them is what you call fighting to better your life?
You say Zamfara...now that sounds familiar. Is that not the state that introduced Sharia into secular Nigeria? So you guys were suffering and Senator Yerima who was then governor was more interested in preserving a borrowed religion than your well being? You people are still not serious.
Your way of life is tied around a few being stupendously wealthy and the majority of the populace being subjected to stupendous poverty. In fact you are very very comfortable with this dynamic. This was the method your people used to rule and finish off Nigeria. And it ended up killing off the middle class. The middle class in the South ran away to other countries, that some have not been back in decades. However, Northern students that school abroad, never ever stay back, they go back to Nigeria because a lucrative job is waiting for them by a principality and powerful relative in Nigeria who is holding the country to ransom.

Please ring me up when you are done licking the bum bum of your leaders. When are you going to pelt eggs on Senator Yerima, his predecessors and successors for allowing your state to be in such deplorable conditions? Why can't you hold your governors to ransom instead of the whole country? Naa, according to the intelligence of the average Northerner, the unholy South is to blame, rubbish!

I will judge every damn nigerian, rich or poor. All have contributed to the rot called Nigeria.
