It is not for northerners. If you are a southerner living in the North, you qualify.

smh...Everything north is associated with poverty

Strech:
my sister! May I remind you that the most successful business man in Nigeria is from that region. Sentiment aside, out of the 3 tribes in Nigeria none Sabi business pass Hausa man.

It is obvious you have never worked with an igbo man or seen any work before

Why are you wailing this much nah!
You better take life easy on yourself.
Hatred kills more than HIV o!

I believe you gonna die a terrible death....

CeeJay9ja:
If you like empower them from now till 20 years time, their mentality remain the same

and we'll never catch up with the south, seriously.

ADAMUdaCOWBOY:
Tony Elumelu is a detribalised Nigerian, we are proud of you. When you southerners were busy living off our groundnuts, did we complain?
You guys enjoy our cow meat and fura da nono, yet you rejected ruga. Thunder will fire anyone that criticises Elumelu for this noble gesture.

I like where tthis is going. Keep this attitude up, you'd soon join your brothers in Niger and Chad..

Look what oil money has done to you

goshen26:


Check where they listed the countries to participate in the program and see that Northern is bracket beside Nigeria.

I felt not too happy too when I got the mail, but no be my money

oh my bad..thanks for pointing it out

Less than 2%? How did u come about ur 2%? NGOs don't need 2b political b4 they focus on just d north. All d major NGOs from oxfam to UNICEF don't just have more operations in d north, they are stationed in d north with little or no presence in d south. Oil degradation has destroyed d environment in d ND & left many without a means of livelihood. Do u c UNEP there? No way

Well, the 2 percent is the official UN statistics. Which you can also confirm online. I don't know about UNEP, I only know about NGOs that are health related because that is my field.

Okpa042:



so the south is insignificant?..

It is not about being insignificant, it is a question of priority. Most times, these NGOs don't have more than $30m for a project, and that is even the rich ones, Nigeria is almost 200m people, you have to focus on places with the worse indices. I also do not like it, as I am a southerner, but their logic makes sense.

Elumelu! Elumelu! Elumelu! How many times did I call you? I have Alot to say to you when it's right time.

UNEP is d united nations environment programme, an arm of d UN just like UNICEF that u mentioned earlier. So y is UNEP not in d Niger Delta d way we have d undp, UNICEF& WHO that u mentioned in d north? Even if d NGOs are health related, are there no sicknesses in d south?

Well, PEPFAR (HIV) actually works a lot in the south. And there are some other ones too in the south, I have some friends that work with some of these agencies in the south.

"...out of the three tribes in Nigeria",... seriously?

uzoexcel:
so where was 'northern nigeria' mentioned?

Olodo read it again and slowly, you will see it in bracket.

Grandnut for how many months? And what happened to the grandnut farm that is no more producing ?

are u sure?

ADAMUdaCOWBOY:

Look, you are beginning to piśs me off! We are not rapists! A single bad apple does not spoil the bunch! Your kith and kin are fraudsters and prostitutes, that doesn't make you guilty of same!

at least u can understand the reason why the south is apprehensive of you coming to dwell among them legitimately and permanently

hurray!! list is out now.
