I have often times wondered why we from the south have always remained politically inferior to our northern politician counterparts. I have just discovered that the reasons are not far fetched. The following are some of the immediate reasons:-

1. A typical Southerner is too attached to benefits that accrue directly to himself. This is why the Northerner will take what belongs to you and use it to buy your conscience to work against your brothers. Take Amaechi for example.

2. We lack a collective political ego that we can use to intimidate other regions. Instead we relish when we oppress our own just to settle personal differences. Do you think you will find anybody in the north who will play the same role Amaechi did in the south against GEJ who is from the same region with him? NOT POSSIBLE! No matter what personal differences they might have had.

3. Our attention is too focused on the wealth in the south so much that we have lost sight of the vultures from the north who come to control our wealth through political manoeuvres.

4. We have become too educated and civilized for our own political good. When all that drove the northerners to the polls was one agenda to get their own in power, we on the other hand are busy exploiting the frontiers of ideals to serve as parameters to get our own out. What is worse is that they applaud you for reasoning this way while they go back with a mischievous grin and call you fools "Arne" . Agreed that in all honesty that you voted Buhari because you honestly believed he was a better man for the job. If at anytime it becomes obvious that he was a wrong choice for the job do you think the north will sail the waters of ideals to analyse and criticize their own? That is the time you will know that you are mumu.

5. Most importantly we lack unity. We spend all our efforts dividing ourselves down to infinidecimal components informed by our ethnic differences. The north has different tribes too But they have been able to move beyond that through Islam. We in south have Christianity but in the light of our separatist tendencies have chosen to have different churches with different names to align with our differences.

The truth is bitter but we in South have to wake up.... The early the better.
