Truth be told, islam is evil. It has darkened the minds of people not only in northern Nigeria but everywhere it dominates. The reason for Jihad and terrorism all the world over is response of Islamic world to dynamics of human development which no religion can curtail. Islamic world has been in the back position since the birth of Industrial Revolution in Europe and has not been able to catch up.

They are able to do that becus of the system of govt we run..

Like i always say, someone like Buhari can not win class rep election in a sane society..

Aside religion, there is no other charismatic reason to support Buahri..

Their useless population is the reason they keep producing leaders.

Highest poverty rate, north, highest illiteracy rate, north, almost everything negative is from that region, why? Boko Haram, fulani herdsmen, religious war, beggars, etc.

Federal character, education less advantage area, etc are some of the policies that were developed to favour that region, yet they have nothing to show for it..

How many Northern youths do well outside govt agencies? I was at a federal govt agency in Ibadan and over 80% of the workforce there are from the north, most of them cant speak or write in English, they cant even spell their names..

If u take away Nigeria from northern Nigeria, that region will turn Somalia in less than two years.

It is a pity Ojukwu saw this but the rest of southern Nigeria were not intelligent enough to work with him..

The yorubas today are among the most intelligent people on earth. The yorubas would have gone pass this level if they had a better system of govt in Nigeria that guaranteed them of their own soverignty .


The north is a time bomb. Look at how much Nigerians are spending to fight Boko Haram, Look at how much we spend to fight Fulani herdsmen, we spend billions of naira to fix north east, a monster the northern nigeria created out of their stupid religion.

I am just sorry for southern Nigeria. We are the biggest fools on earth,
Excuses excuses excuses. Since u are the most advanced why not device a means. Or haven't u heard intelligence is how well u can find a way where dia semms to b no name

I kn u r pained that ur northern region r said to b worst zone in this Sh!thole according to some elites from ur enclave. The earlier u started accepting it, d better ur region will be. Never u compare East with North in terms of education

He gave one speech about overpopulation, meanwhile he has how many wives and how many children?

He spoke about how dangerous child marriage is, meanwhile he married a teenage girl relatively recently.

Why has he refused to set a good example for his miserable followers?

All the Northern leaders including yourself Nuru Ribadu, all the emirs and chiefs are the cause of the extreme backwardness and poverty still being witnessed among the generality of the Northerners till today.
To go back to history from the first republic till today major ruling zone of the country has been the Northern zone . Is it the Tafawa Balewa era or the major military rulership of Gowon , Muritala , Buhari, Babangida , Abacha Abubakar Shagari ,Yaradua and several other Northern leaders occupying high divisional offices at the Federal levels .Atiku of this world T, Danjuma of this world who confirmed making 1 billion dollars on oil block and having spent N500 million he did not know what to do with the remaining amount . The Northern leaders has been in control of the oil wealth since inception the longest serving secretary of O P E C had been from the North this is not to say of several of them including emirs and chiefs quite a number of political heavyweights who have benefited in one way or the order in the wealth control of this Nation but all of these are to the detriment of the extra large population of their poverty stricken people the only beneficiaries of the wealth are their immediate nuclear families who apart from their children good knowledge of Islam they are usually taken out of the country to acquire Western educations from the lowest to the highest standard at a highly expensive cost to the complete neglect of their poverty stricken people. Let us ask them which of their children is a member of Bokoharam? Which of their children is a member of killing spree groups now ongoing in the entire North ? So all what Nuru Ribadu has said that the Northern part of Nigeria is the MOST BACKWARD IN THE WORLD despite their leaders being among the richest in the world are what is going on in the Northern Nigeria.

When a man is compromised, his opinions lose power. That is the case with Sanusi. He considered his vast wealth, privileges and crimes and was forced to shut up.

Don't be this silly and naive.
There is a difference btw Islam and Muslims in Northern Nigeria.Northen Nigeria Muslims have abused knowledge seeking in Islam as begging.

Know that Islam forbids begging and the way it's it's done in the north.

Do u see other Muslims around the world doing this?Ok just come back home,have u seen other NAIJA Muslims e.g yorubas doing this?

It's a fact that the north has this social crisis that needs to eBay addressed just like the agberos,the child prostitution and the child trafficking we have in other places.Period.

If you knew how bad begging is, no one would go to anyone else and ask him for anything.

all these started after the 1966 counter-coup.

b4 then, Northern Nigerians were among the highest number of people in school, infact they so understood the british system, that was why the british indirectly handed Nigeria to them.

tell me whom among the then Nigeria political class from North to South, that could beat ABUBAKAR TAFAWA BALEWA.
He was so good that even US Time Magazine put him on their cover page (http://content.time.com/time/covers/0,16641,19601205,00.html). where was ZIK & AWO then?

but over the years after 1966 (maybe as a result of the coup), the Northern Leaders chose instead of following in the steps of ABUBAKAR TAFAWA BALEWA, and show their people the paths to greatness that made ABUBAKAR TAFAWA BALEWA.



they decided to choose the selfish path, a path that today after 52yrs, they are among the poorest and less developed people in the world. i think they need to visit what made the then Northern Nigeria great and go back to that foundation if they want to survive and make it.

That means is what we already created right here in the southern Nigeria..

That is why southern Nigeria is not the most backward region in Nigeria..

With all the leadership u guys have which is solely due to the British manipulated constituency and LGA creation, in addition to u guys uncontrollable child birth rate..

Even with all the leadership positions u guys have enjoyed, ur region is still the most backward in everything.. Do u know how many international NGOs in the north? They are there becus of the poverty rate in that region, the illiteracy rate in that region, the hunger, the displaced people.

Take a look at south east, civil war raised down the region, but with little or no federal govt support, no special budget to rebuild the region, yet the region is not the least in the country.

Northern Nigeria which carried the war for head is still the region suffering in every areas of life.

The govt even created Education disadvantage policy to help u guys with education, for u guys to get admitted to universities with low score, get favourable FG policies, yet, the region is still backward in education.

Na curse dey curse una for that region?

Na una create Boko Haram, na we for south dey pay for the damages, yet no progress..

Almost all the FG units are all in the north, yet the region is backward, I mean, the region is the most backward region in the entire world.

If they born northern Nigeria well, let them pull out of Nigeria.. Aswear, the region will die naturally within two years.. How many of your youths are doing well aside govt support?

Come to South and see youths hustling and building communities.. My brother, e no get where Northern Nigeria fit stand southern Nigeria.

The Almajiri system is purely evil and a wicked medium that encourages senseless population growth....A System that strips the child of every human dignity... It Provides a safe haven for irresponsible parents and guardians who are running away from their responsibilities.
Then there was a man who came, built schools for them but the northern elites who had always used them cause problems were against it.
