With more.than 30 years in power?
Nothing else to say...

khingTony:
it not surprising
what's surprising is the fact that this region is so backward, yet, they dictate what happens in this country.

After 50 years of Independence, the government of the so called disadvantaged regions ought to have done something to address the situation. You cannot continue to spoon-feed a child and expect that same child to grow, mature and be independent. A student from Abia scores 130 in the Federal Commonwealth Entrance exam, yet it's almost impossible to gain admission in the school of his choice, yet another child from Zamfara will score less than 5 and gain same admission seamlessly. How do you encourage such a child that hard work and merit pays?

Look at all the appointments the president has made so far, over 90% from the north. They are telling us they are based on merit. My question is how comes, when it comes to appointment, they are hiding under merit to appoint only their own, but when it comes to exams and admission into Federal institutions, they bring in Federal character. I'm an advocate of merit, hardwork, transparency, objectivity and emperical selection process. That way you encourage everybody to work hard for whatever he/she wants. After all, the Bible says, "he who does not work, let him not eat". It's against natural and spiritual justice and principle to take from those who work and give to those who don't work. That in itself is the root of corruption Nigeria.

I support the President's fight against corruption. I advocate the enthronement of merit and objectivity in our national life. So, Mr. President, if you are serious about your anti-corruption mantra, If you are serious about this your new "merit" policy, let's go back to the basis. Start by eliminating all forms of quota system and federal character in the admission process into Unity schools, Federal universities and recruitment/
employment into all federal civil service, agencies, parastatals and let's see who will be qualified. That's my humble submission.

Atikuorbuhari:

The Government primary school, U.B.E, Yabani under Zango Kataf Local Government area, Kaduna State has no chairs for students to sit on.

Students of the school sits on the floor everyday to learn and have gotten almost so used to this system of learning.

See photos of the students learning under such conditions...

MrStan11:

I always laugh when people think that your zone producing president would better the life of people in that area.
We have a weak institution that was build along tribal and religious line.
That's why Osibanjo is deputizing Buhari,
Peter Obi deputizing Atiku.

North is lucky that Nigeria has not separated.
With this their Boko haram of a thing, Isis will turn to Africa once they are dislodge from Syria,
So 87% poverty rate is even a good rate to compare to what the future beholds.
The only solution is not Building flyover but making 80% of their budget go into Basic Education and Secondary Schools. Not Universities.
Anyway what do I know?

MelloJelly:

fake numbers

omowolewa:
90% of Politicians are from the North

anonimi:


And drag everyone to their low level in the process.
Welcome to the Fulani Republic of Naijeriya, FRN ruined currently by barawo bubu and his 40 thieves presidency cabal of the Alliance of Past/Present Crooks, APC.
Anyone who disagrees Apc and its Northern agenda are devilish is a zombie

GermanMelania:
It isn't just nigerians inflating the numbers the western NGOs are just as guilty.

Remember the hiv crisis when everyone was supposed to drop dead? Hospitals would be diagnosing everythinh as hiv to get more funding
Herw is the problem with western funding though.
If America gives you money they require you to hire anericans, buy american products with the money.
Imagine havibf to buy $1500 MAC computers instead of using the same money to buy 5 china computers. Then you hire americans at 200k usd per year plus housing and other sundry. Where as you woulf have hired a nigeran at 30k usd. Foreign AID Is a scam.

Also there is no such thing as western education. It is just plain education . Formal education. The first university in the worls was was in Asia and Africa (Morocco i think)

Dereformer:
One useless lawmaker bragged that he has 4 wives and 27 children and still counting.

That was when I knew that North is irredeemable.

Very soon Nigeria will disintegrate and will see what is called poverty and cannibalism in the North.

vRendoh:
Your wives and uncountable children production will only breed poverty.
A man that bred seventy childreen should be questioned by the state. People producing children instead of rice and beans should be questioned

Awol1:
Congratulations to the north then.

87% poverty rate in your domain. Which means paltry 13% is left to be shared by the East, West and South.

Yet you guys with your born-to-rule mentality wouldn't mind voting a cow into power so long as he's a nortberner instead of someone with the capacity to better your lots.

My anger is that some who are educated also put themselves in this self delusion helping to 0subjugate the illiterate multitude with tribe and religion.

Believe me, if this country breaks today, the poor will eat the rich in the north.

Ndi born-to-rule, dalukwanu!
