I think the poster of this thread must be an idiot and he is an ungrateful maggot who is just fortunate to know how to read and write, i sincerely think by now an ordinary Nigerian ( not like the animal who start this thread) should drop the idea of tribalism and lets think about moving this country further rather than pass some meaningless cacophonous comments about one tribe or another. i am a Nigerian students studying here in Malaysia and each time i walk on Malaysian street i feel like weeping for my dear country because we have everything in my country except good leader, so wake up man, use your brain not your strength, we are the new generation of this country and lets make a different. embarassed

Your post is at best a generalisation and very ignorant. I have a feeling there will be massive opposition to your post. Even if you have a problem with how Nigeria is, you will find that you have presented your case in a very poor manner.

Also one man's civilisation is another man's backwardness. I live in the UK and most of the population here will think we are backward with our ways your see. The point is, these "backward civilisations" that you highlighted, you are yet to explain how it affects you.

Here you had another chance to redeem what most people perceive as generalisation, yet you appear to carry on doing exactly that. The Northern part of nigeria, carries roughly about half the population of Nigeria, and are you saying you have meet everyone of them to come to such conclusion?

We have a problem of division and separation ingrained in us all - a very bad human trait at times - and my friend,  you are showing that. smiley

Re: Northern Nigerians Are Not Civilized Peoples by PapaBrowne(m): 2:12pm On Apr 18, 2009
Northern Nigeria! Southerners & Easterners!! Western World!!!
All of these, directions and descriptions!!

Then again, although incoherent & biased in presenting his/her case, the poster has made points that are statements of fact and worthy of discussion especially if Nigeria must move forward.

We can pretend as if the stereotypical characterizations of Northern Nigeria mentioned by  the poster don't exist and try as much as possible to act politically correct, but fact is these stereotypes are real and  are detrimental to the growth of this country.
However, every region in the country has its detrimental characteristics that hinder the growth and development of this country.

We are critcising the poster for starting a tribal discussion- Tribalism is a fact in Nigeria! We must discuss it! Not discussing tribal stereotypes is akin to sweeping dirt under the carpet in your house. One day, you'll find that your house is a dustbin.

Stereotyping is the basis for which most, if not all of us Humans base our judgments!
Stereotypically, Igbos would be too money driven and would do anything for it! Stereotypically, Yorubas would be traitors. Stereotypically, Hausas are too destitute-like(as the poster has pointed), Calabars too House-Helpy, Delta youths too militant, Edo girls too lose in Italy and so on and so fault!

In discussions, there is nothing too wrong with stereotyping. It is in individual actions that stereotyping becomes a problem.
I don't see anything wrong with the poster starting a reasonable stereotype- based discussion on something many of us know is one of the largest problems in the country!

@OneNaija
Here again the Devil is opening a topic on Nairaland to didvide and rule; It is NOT The Northern Nigerians peoples who are causing the current problems In Nigeria. First have a look at the word Civilized,and where this word is originated from.Where The Africans Civilized long time ago? Abolutely not . the Africans were never civilized . To be civilized is to claim that you were '' Uncivil" at some point in time . (We The African Were The Civilizers of the world ) . Am I saying '' All Religion And Cultures And Secret Fraternities Came from Africa,from us . Yes . They all got their teaching in one form or another from the Africans . Even the sacred societies , such as Freemasons and the Rosicrucians . Astaras , Theosphical Society , Odd Fellows . Knights of Columbus and their many offshoots take their roots back to Africa.

@Horus
The posters presentation is fraught with problems no doubt. But I don't think it has anything to do with divide and rule!
There is nothing wrong with discussing positively what I think we know is a major problem with Nigeria.

These poverty figures are worthy of discussion!
North-west:74%, North Central%: 70, North East: 70%
South West:28%, South South: 30%, South East: 23%

The disparity in poverty level is too high and it would help to discuss the cause of this. And I don't think the answer is too far from the what the poster has stated.

So those of you who sit daily trying to dream up solutions where tried and tested solutions already exist are better than those in the north who’d rather spend their time on other things?
OneNaija:

They always support all the ideal from the leader. They have the power to solve the problem than we Southern and Eastern Nigerians.
Aaaghh!! The classic “We are weak; they are stronger than we are and so our destiny is in their hands” excuse. Do you realize how weak that argument is? Do you seriously believe that the fate of the “Civilized” group, according to you, lies in the hands of the group you label “Uncivilized”?  Do you understand how ridiculous that statement is, considering we now live in a democracy? Or did you miss that part?

OneNaija:

I know there are lots of Nigerians who spend their time PROFERRING solutions to Nigeria’s problems daily, how has that been working out for us? Has any single issue been resolved in all that time spent talking of the problem and coming up with “CONVENIENT” solutions?

@Poster, you are the same person who, on another thread, claimed to “Cherish” Nigeria more than all and went a step further to insult anyone who did not share your view on the country. You have yet to solve any single problem the country has but have successfully shown yourself part of the group that continues to divide, instead of unite, the country. Why don’t you start with self here? Why don’t you stop saying you are proud of Nigeria when the same you will turn around to blame all the woes and issues in that country on the next man, causing more division which is the number one issue that needs to be dealt with?
Re: Northern Nigerians Are Not Civilized Peoples by Thor(m): 2:54pm On Apr 18, 2009
It is very true. But even though they may not be civilised or have any culture this is the fault of the backward religion (Islam) which they follow.

Re: Northern Nigerians Are Not Civilized Peoples by jona2: 3:02pm On Apr 18, 2009
there is nothing too wrong with stereotyping undecided

Akwa Ibom State has the highest number of prostitutes, and these prostitutes all operate within Lagos state. She said statistics from Uyo zonal office of NAPTIP alone showed that, out of 104 victims rescued in the last quarter of the year, 53 were from Akwa Ibom state. “It is sad that most of the Akwa Ibom girls rescued were used for prostitution in Lagos , and that most of the brothels in Lagos are inhabited by young girls from Akwa Ibom State ,” Ndaguba said. The unwritten legality of prostitution, as a profession in Lagos, has given rise to an increase in the number of areas where sex hawkers can be found. These areas, popularly called hot spots or red zones, increase in number daily and the efforts of police officers in picking them off the roads, at regular intervals, have not had any impact.

@Poster
Your writing is an award-winnable demonstration of how not to write. But that is not even the issue here.
When you criticize, you do so with facts. Your supporting 'facts' really expose you as an armchair critic. And Nairalanders, ever critical as most are, have shown you that criticizing itself is an art.
I do not subscribe to the widespread belief among Nigerians that Northerners are our problem(My take is that the problem has no tribal/regional dimension), but people that say so have more reasonable arguments than what you spewed up there. Arguments like Northerners have ruled Nigeria more than any other part of the country, higher illiteracy and poverty rates, widespread dependence on government etc make more sense. How is wearing agbada a cause of Nigeria's problem? How is sitting on the mat to pray everyday related to the problem of Nigeria? I live in an estate in VI here, and I sit on mat with our aboki gatemen to pray when I'm at home on weekends? Does that make me uncivilized or a problem to Nigeria? Does that affect my professional output? FYI, this cuts across all classes in Hausaland. The Dangotes, Sanusi Lamidos, Nuhu Ribadus all do this thing in their compounds( sitting on mats, praying, talking, with suya by the side). And their simple, humble lifestyle is one of the things I like about them.

So dude, when next you're criticizing try to back it with facts that are at least debatable. People here are not kids!

Well Islam and Christianity have similar roots so are you calling Southern Nigerians backward too?  Northerners had a culture way before islam so there isn't any point there. 

You can argue they are not exposed to western education but it's wrong to call them uncivillized.
