IG:

I noticed that some people on Nairaland have the habit of twisting every topic so that they can insult Northern Nigerians. This is very bad. I know the Northern elite are corrupt but that doesn't make the southern elite saints. It's just that the Northerners know the crookery of politics better and somehow almost always hang up to power. Please don't hate the average Northerner for what IBB or 'Yar Adua is doing. I know that a lot of Southerners on Nairaland rejoiced when 'Yar Adua was rigged into power by Obasanjo simply because they do not like Buhari. Guys we are not Northerners or Southerners by choice, we are just born into a particular region or ethnic group. So don't hate somebody based on his ethnicity or place of origin.
A lot of Southerners tend to be too emotional and end up not properly reasoning, and that's what the Northern elite use against them.

Talking about oil, it is very important that we know that there are large proven deposits of petroleum in the North. Mainly in Borno, Bauchi and Benue. Niger republic is already extracting oil just 10km across the border from Borno State. Chad republic is already extracting it's oil for some years now. It's also not far from Borno state. Some people in north even think that it is the southerners that are working agains exploration of oil in the north.

Let us know that the unity of Nigeria doesn't depend on oil, if it's only oil, then the north would broken off as soon as the oil is discovered and keep in mind that the north has the advantage of producing it's own food. Think of what will happen if meat, onions, beans e.t.c are no longer moved from the north to the south.
Keep in mind that there are also a lot of solid minerals in commercial quantities in almost every state in the North. Borno and Zamfara has gold, Yobe has gypsum, limestone, Bauchi has uranium, Gombe has coal, Kebbi has just discovered a very large quantity of iron ore. These are only a few examples.
Don't forget that the North is the only part of the country that has almost succeeded in overcoming it's ehtnic differences. I think this is why most southerners assume that the north is made of only the Hausas. Infact some parts of the North (e.g North-East) do not originally have Hausas at all. The Hausas you find there are those that have settled there and naturalized. That type of fusion is what needs to be extended all across the country.

I think most of the highly emotional talk on this thread is due to lack of knowledge of Nigeria as a whole. If one travels across Nigeria and experienced both the North and the South, he will hardly make such statements. I grew up in the North and served in Abia state. I discovered that the averge Nigerian's needs are the same all across. I think what we need is to face our problems not just by pointing fingers at our political elite but by putting our houses in order. I mean house literally here. Hey when did you last fill a pot-hole on the road or cleared the drainage in your neighbourhood. When last did you decide not to shunt in a queue when offered a chance. The little efforts we make is what will accumulate and become the great changes. Those little efforts is what will maybe lead us to resist election rigging at our neighbourhood's polling station. The people of Bauchi have done it in 2007, why can't we spread it all across?

I read very long post.It was
boring
senseless
annoying
daft
pointless
needless
I also read your last post from your profile,I realize you are a boko harem supporter and nothing sane can emanate from your stupid hausa mouth and your daft islamic head.
The only part of your stupid write up ,I will react to,is ''oil in the north''
Did your imam brainwash and hypnotized you today.Dont you know the heat in the north will distil oil if ever it is found there.The only countried that happens t find oil in rock and other odd places is algeria ,saudi arabia ad some other countries.
So keep wishing.
Americans know how stupid and controllable the hausas can be .Hence they will do everything within their power t stop nigeria from breaking.

becomrich.:

Amaka , it is an issue of principle, igbos have not stand up for principle.

Do you see igbo support yorubas for the creation of more local govt in lagos,  Hell NO.

Do you see the igbos support the yorubas if the creation of Ijebu state, Ibadan and Akure state ,  Hell NO.

Your people only look at for yourself. And we are started looking out for ourself.

And I think the north should look at for itsself when it comes to removing the yorubas, edo, delta and bayelsa state into Benin republic to make the North majority. They should not care for what others think. Because I dont think others would do better.

The north have to protect its interest and it is to the interest of the North that the Yorubas, edo, delta and bayelsa state join the republic of Benin republic for the north to have 70% of the oil and majority.

You cant be a LovePeddler when it please you.
