This is it!

Tell yourself the truth, accept your weakness and that is the beginning of finding a lasting solution instead of basking in your folly and failure while accusing another race for your failures!

Mr. El Rufai, the major thing contributing to the backwardness of Northern Nigeria is ISLAM!

Islamic religion and its doctrines does not support civilisation and human capital development.

Don't mention Qatar or Dubai or Saudi Arabia or Oman or Kuwait, their economy is built on crude oil that has no future! They lack human development, they rely on foreign manpower which can desert them anytime, any day. Islamic doctrines and religion made their citizens lazy.

Its either Northern Nigeria do away with Islamic religion and its ancient doctrines or they should find ways to reform and refine it to support civilisation and true education not Quranic education of cramming Quran to recite.

Your youths abhor western education due to Islamic doctrines!

Your youths are not ambitious, they are okay following one rich Muslim Alhaji who will be providing them with food and tent to sleep and they are okay because that is what Islam teaches.

You cannot achieve what you do not desire and work for.

Northern youths spend most of their time at the Mosque cramming Quran and how to fight Kafirs (Christians) to defend Islam, while the Southern youths are busy reading, studying technology, business an science books, hustling to get visa to western nations and cracking brain to succeed in their various businesses and only go to Church to pray to their God to help them succeed in their life endeavors and to help open their eyes to opportunities to invest in.

So you can see the difference between the religious ways of Southern youths from that of northern youths, that's where the solution lies!

And you northern elites and politicians love it that way because it helps you manipulate them and use them as you like to gain political power and dominance, so talk to your fellow northern elites and oligarchs

with all the jagos u said,south sudan,burundi,zimbabwe thay are mostly christians.
are they develop?
and all those countries u said we shouldn't mention are now on technology path and including iran.

unlike Africans, both our Christians and Muslim even animist are just backward.

Buckubuck:

For the first time in a long while you have made a lot of sense. Kudos

sure wish i can say the same with you

franchasng:
He is correct. Western nations manage Dubai, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman!

They depend and rely heavily on western manpower and technology, they can't do anything on their own except flaunting wealth and living luxury life from selling crude oil that western nations helped them discover and explore and still buy.


Islam does not support civilisation and human capital development

civillazation?
explain.

ohh I see, Do I look like an Ethnic bigott ? or speaking from sentiments?? I just States a known fact* all informations are there for people to see.

in essence Kano or North can't measure d*k with South. except FCT because it's Nigeria's capital.

Provide the facts here please. I'm not a northerner but i hate when unintelligent beings like you spread falsehood.
Just because your drunkard father said it doesn't mean it's a fact.
Provide your proof and let me counter it with facts. Mkpi

The Northern governors are always United unlike the South.

And their unity has continued to produce more poverty and under development to them. I don't wish to have this type of unity.

noble2faith:
The problem of north is the religion called Islam.

If they can practice the religion without extremism then north is going to experience development.

while those practising liberal christianity in south sudan is moving forward right?

Donmedra:
Some idiots in the south want this one as president or vice president??.

El Rufai is just a bigot, is it our fault the northern leaders stole the money the South LP bring into developing the north.

This el> tufia is not supposed to be a leader at all.

A liar

Any place that takes religion with extremism, irrespective of the religion, always experiences backwardness.

I didn't say that post you quoted to rubbish Islam; it is a known fact. I spent good 8 years in north, Maiduguri to be precise. Base on my observations, the reasons for their backwardness are rooted in the extreme way they practice Islam.

Noah Ebije, Kaduna

Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai has said that, Nigeria consists of two countries: a developing South, and a backward, less educated and unhealthy North, with the highest number of poor people in the world.
El-Rufai equally lamented that the northern region has development indicators similar to that of Afganistan, a country at war.

Speaking in Kaduna on Saturday at the Northern Youth Summit organised by Northern Hibiscus, an NGO, El-Rufai however said that the problems of the region must be addressed collectively as a group of 19 northern states governors, not as individual states.
El-Rufai said the summit whose theme was “Awakening the Arewa Spirit,” was very timely, adding that “when we talk about awakening the spirit, it means the spirit is either sleeping or dead. Therefore, this summit is very important, just like our keynote address speaker has said.

“But, looking at the statistics, Nigeria appears to be a middle-income country. But, if we segregate those statistics across states and zones, you will see that in terms of human development indicators, Nigeria consists of two countries; there is a backward, less educated and unhealthy northern Nigeria and a developing, largely educated and healthy southern Nigeria.

“We have to speak the truth to ourselves and ask why is it that northern Nigeria has development indicators similar to Afganistan, a country still at war?
“We have the largest number of poor people in the world, most of them in northern Nigeria. Nigeria also has the largest number of out-of-school children, virtually all of them in Northern Nigeria.

“Northern Nigeria has become the centre of drug abuse, gender violence, banditry, kidnapping and terrorism. We have also been associated with high divorce rate and breakdown of families. These are the challenges that confront us. This is the naked truth that we have to tell ourselves.

“We must, therefore, as leaders at all levels have a conversation about the way forward for our part of the country. Because increasingly, as many of you must have seen on social media, we are being considered as the parasite of the federal economy, even though, that is not entirely true. Because northern Nigeria still feeds the nation. The richest businessman in Nigeria is still Aliko Dangote, not someone from southern Nigeria, thank God for that.

“So, we still have a lot to be proud of. We should be proud of our culture and tradition, as well as unity. You hardly can find someone from northern Nigeria convicted of 419 or being aYahoo boy. That is something we should be proud of.

“We are generally considered to be more honest and less corrupt than other Nigerians. That is something we should be proud of. In addition, our demographic superiority gives us a very powerful tool to negotiate in politics. And that is something we should be proud of, and we should preserve. So, we have every reason to unite and not be divided.

“I, therefore, call on you the youth; you account for 80 per cent of the northern population and the future of this region lies in your hands, not in the hands of Dinosaurs like me. I’m 59 and among the oldest five per cent of the northern population. I shouldn’t even be governor; I should have been governor ten years ago. But ‘na condition make crayfish bend,’ so we are here.
“But, why are we here? In my view, we are here to prepare the next generation of leaders. That is why the agenda for this summit is very important. So, you should take the panel discussions very seriously and come up with very clear and implementable decisions that you will circulate to all of us elected to lead in northern Nigeria.

“I urge Northern Hibiscus to send recommendations from this summit to the Chairman of northern state governors’ forum. We have to do something about the situation of northern Nigeria and we must do so as a group of 19 governors, not individual state governors.” El-Rufai said.

Also speaking, the sponsor of the event and immediate past Chairman of House of Representatives Committee on Appropriation, Hon. Abdulmumini Jibrin said, while the North was in dire situation, the region has not lost everything. “There is growth everywhere and so many leaders have emerged.”

Jibrin who analysed the need to reawaken the Arewa spirit on sociocultural, economic and political spheres, said family unit remains the bigger challenge faced in the region as it contributes to high rate of divorce, late marriages, drug abuse and destitution.

Looking at the economic aspect, he noted the need for job and wealth creation to build businesses, understanding competition, marketing and funding in entrepreneurship. He said there is little or no money available at commercial banks to loan small and medium enterprises because government borrows an average of N1 trillion annually with N600 billion to N700 billion interest from first line charge.

The lawmaker called for role models across board, adding that “we have to mould leaders, we have to create ourselves into leaders,” he said.

In her opening remarks, founder of Northern Hibiscus Initiative, Aisha Falke, said the summit was organised to examine the numerous challenges of the North, with a view to finding lasting solutions to them.

She also disclosed that, Northern Hibiscus had also taken the bull by the horn with a 16-year action to empower the youths with useful skills, especially those who are not privileged to have formal education.

Hell-Rufai let me enlighten you on your people..

You want an exclusive Islamic state,
You want southern Nigeria as a grazing reserve,
Your wealthy family don't want the poor ones to prosper which breeds almajiri,
You leaders are corrupt and use religion to cover up

those are black nations, read my previous posts about black nations.

And why Northern Nigeria's own case is dangerous is because they are black practicing ancient religion of backwardness; Islam, that's double wahala for them, their development will likely take 5million centuries to come because of black + Islam, what a dangerous combination

Even when the North holds power for 300 years if they fail to address the fundamental issues of illiteracy, population control and child marriage they will never experience good development rather more of what they have now.
Terrorism, banditry, kidnapping, poverty, homelessness and street begging

El-rufai is d worst skimmer that the world has ever known. He is just bringing up sentiment to justify this govt nepotic policies n to attract more international aids to the region.

In terms of infrastructure n govt presence Northern Nigeria is far more developed and than any other region.[color=#770077][/color]

Firstly, you are only adding substance to my position. Qatar is not even up to the size of Agege in terms of population so the 600,000 barrels of oil they produce in a day is enough to meet their financial needs

[img]https://images./MTANOMI5fe4L6NdzTKk2w.jpg[/img]

The 1.5 million barrels Nigeria produces is simply not enough to meet the needs of a population of 200 million people.

Secondly, it seems you either have zero comprehension ability or you deliberately ignored the fact that El Rufai clearly and quite rightly identified the North as the burden that is keeping the South from maximising it's economic development potentials. So it shouldn't come as a surprise if you can mention 10 oil rich Muslim countries who have more impressive GDP than Nigeria.

Thirdly, there is indeed a connection between religion and poverty, or perhaps I should say between Islam and poverty.Even the UN and the World Bank have noted that the overwhelming majority of Muslim countries suffer from extreme poverty, while most of the wealth in the world lies in the hands of Christians and Atheists.

1. Nigeria produces more oil than Qatar and Malaysia just to mention a few.
2. Did anyone prevent Nigeria from accessing the innovations of the west in order to develop?
3. I can name 10 Islamic countries better than Nigeria.
So what's your point? Living in denial as usual.

Life expectancy in Pakistan is higher than that in Nigeria.

Islam+black=backwardness u say?
so black+Christianity is forwardness?
see this one tell me one majority black country with majority Christians that are developed.
u called Islam backwardness while Christianity also took part in backwardness of Africa.
when the Europeans wanted to justify the slave trade of blacks,they brought one fucking curse of ham from the bible.
is it not in south Africa we see how pastor ordered his followers to eat grass?
in Brazil pastor commanded his female church member to suck his dick for holy spirit and so on
and u are just spewing trash here, the Europeans and US that developed now, we saw how they are living Christianity

Sigh. Are you really this stupid, or are you putting on an act? When did I say Christianity was to blame for the South's condition?

Rather I specifically mentioned the parasitic, wretched, impoverished a.b.o.kis who breed like rodents as the problem because they won't allow restructuring which would give the South greater independence to manage its resources.

It's the usual Fulani crisis management... the Ruga saga started seeing segregation of the Fulanis from the hausas, that is why it was promptly stopped and Unity meetings and forums arranged amongst various northern groups.

my brother you actually read the lines..el rufai and by extension the Fulani's must not be trusted..a the ruga issue is already rejected by the entire south and they are hell bent on implementing it and they knew that the only way to achieve it is through coercion which war with the south is not ruled out.jpresently the entire south is dagger drawn and its high time they rally the entire north whom they see as tools they can convince at anytime as they believe they have forgotten the injustice merged on them by the Fulani's by soon doing brainwash them and mobilize them for war if the eventuality surfaces and trust me they might sucede
