As our population increase, Nigeria's land mass does NOT increase... the resources also does not increase accordingly. It is like putting 20 people in a hostel room meant for only 4 people... resources would just NOT be enough....

China and USA have bigger land mass and resources than Nigeria.

2) I am suspicious of Islam.
3) But I do not support oyibo people trying to depopulate Africa

In as much he has said notin bt d truth....is sad to note that d north is d most corrupt part of nigeria...jx that we seem too interested in southern affairs ...if not why on earth should d north complain of poverty? Most annoying is that northern youths follow their leaders religiously, demanding notin frm them except handouts n cheap talk in hausa language while they cheer....rather than burn churches n attack southerners, northern youths should attack their leaders and demand frm them their..industies,development,agriculture,good health care,good governance etc.....yes that's d right tin to do.

The north is a poverty - trapped region today because the leaders have refused to do the right thing. Agriculture used to be at its peak in Northern Nigeria in time past. Today every díck and harry is waiting for FG monthly allocation. We are now so lazy that we can't even work on our farmlands anymore. Just waiting for federal allocations to survive. Rubbish system of government in Nigeria!!!

They are just being wicked to themselves. Over three quarter of Nigeria oil blocks are owned by notheeners, dasuki gate and the sharing formula was formulated in the North, leaving ur people in abject poverty and being satisfied with their bowing before you is wickedness. I really feel, the north and west are made enough to just let the east and south south go without a spill of blood.

Its only African countries that are being instructed to reduce population.

These are the lies they have spun over the years to hoodwink others into some kind of sympathy thereby justifying the quest to divert more resources from tge South to the North. Which poverty? It is not any better in the creeks or riverine areas whether in the SS, SE or SW.

All this noise is so that no one will question the unfair advantage they're given especially in education and tomorrow they will occupy sensitive and highly remunerated offices and positions to the disadvantage of others because merit is long sacrificed to accommodate some.

That is why it is best to have fully autonomous federating units under one name with clearly identified rules of engagement for relating with others. Either that or full separation so that others can maximise their potentials. Let no one drag the other down but parasites prefer the status quo which us a shame!

People...stop being deceived! It is a grand plan for constant rape of resources from other regions which they don't pay for yet u get nothing from the North for free or by allocation! Go to ur villages answer see whether it is all rosy n sweet!

My guy u fool yourself...one of the reasons given by german companies was the potential of a youn workforce amongst the refugees. That was why tgey persuaded the german leader to take in refugees in large number.
Yes you are correct. Germany has a young workforce compared to japan...but dont forget this force is highly educated and might reject certain job descriptons...who then does these jobs?? The refugees of course!!!


kraftykc:


That's a blatant lie. Germany had a massive youth workforce before allowing in a million refugees who have a different orientation and work ethic who have started by rioting and sexually assaulting women in public places by the hundreds.

Germany was being altruistic, don't insult their gesture by giving it such vampiric motives. The Arab world that abandoned those refugees could have picked them if it is such a value to have a massive population.

The Northern States Governors Forum has said it is the responsiblity of Northern leaders to find opportunities for the people of the North.

This statement was made by Borno Governor, Kashim Shettima, the Chairman of the Forum whilst speaking on the issue of poverty during the 50th anniversary of the death of the late Premier of the north, Sir Ahmadu Bello.
Shettima said, “Unemployment in the north is extremely high. Nigeria is a country of two nations, the South is much more stable and prosperous, the north on the other hand is in a poverty trap. In Nigeria, poverty wears a northern cap, if you are looking for a poor man, get somebody wearing a northern cap.”

“Sardauna was a leader of his own generation and every generation come up with its own style of leader. Sardauna did remarkably well for the North and for the nation, our duty, especially for those of us in the North is in our interest to invest in the people.

“Nigeria’s population will double in the next 23 years. By 2020, Nigeria’s population will be around 210 million. By 2030, there will be about 270million Nigerians and by 2050, when old men like me might not be around, the population will be around 440million.

“By then, we will be the third most populous nation on earth and most importantly, 70% of the population will be living in Northern Nigeria. Deforestation, desertification, joblessness, hopelessness, illetracy, unemployment, low access to health facilities are all recepies for disaster.

“It is in our enlightened self interest as northern leaders to invest in the people, to invest in agriculture, to create jobs because, there is a direct correlation with endemic poverty and most of the crisis threatening the north,” he added.

What do you have to say about the United Arab Emirates that is a Muslim nation? Or Countries like the Netherlands, Spain et all that are Non-religious?
Your Christ has no economic impact on any nation. If a country is brazenly corrupt with bad leaders that are self centered alongside lazy and uneducated people, there is no way that country/state/region can develop. Stop being a religious fanatic!

Huge population is a blessing if those in government know how to manage it. You think Germany(most populous EU nation) opened its borders to refugees for charity sake or one humanitarian blabla... that they gave as reason? lol.
Examples of reasonable management of huge population is China and Japan.
