It is not only him that is lazy.How is he different from those areas where they have oil? Are they not lazy too? THey are just lucky they have oil they are equally lazy.

Yes regions should keep their resources but resourcess did not arrive there through hardwork.

Now there is a fundamental difference betweed Saudis,Kuwaitis on the one hand and Japanese/Germans on the other. The one are consumers while the other are producers.
There is no area in Nigeria that is more productive than the North apart from Lagos if you remove oil. That is the food basket of the country.
If we are to revert to true oil revenue resource control which I think we should that cannot happen overnight unless we split the country but let us not pretend that somehow Ijaws or Ikwerre as a people are more productive than Hausa because they have oill. They are among the laziest and least enterprising people on earth.

It is governments State and local that need oil not people and in the North the level of agricultural productivity is phenomenal. No one can tell me that Abokis are lazy. They work like machines

They are all overLagos riding okada and there is no state you do not find them,working which ia a lot more than you can say for Ikwerre or Ijaws

As long as the constitution concentrates power in the FG there will be need for allocation. Depite all the noise about corporate headquarters the truth is that corporate tax is paid to the FG ,VAT is paid to the FG the FG controls NPA and so on . Many of those revenue raising powers have to devolve before states can be viable. So those inbuilt constraints have weakened the states and they cannot overcome them overnightStates cannot generate power or build sea ports and many other things without the FG saying so.

Northern Nigeria has a structural problem that started the moment Usman Dan fodio uses Islam as a pretence to start an empire. The Islamic caliphate of Northern Nigeria of the 18th century only reinforced the power of autocratic few who control the majority of the often enterprise and hardworking Hausa farmers and traders

Event leading to the colonization of northern Nigeria also reinforced the power of the emir through indirect rule by banning missionaries schools , western ideas that may affect the power of the local emirs.
The colonial government and the Usman Dan fodia jihad made the north to be what it is today.

North will only change when economic reality forced them to become more secular and tolerant but our centralized sharing structure will not allow them to change and embrace modernity
