Only a single Northerner, Arrewa, giving you lot South Easterners so much pains and sleepless nights, despite your overwhelming numbers.

I wonder what would have happened if we had half as much Northerners, the likes of Arewa, on the forum. You people certainly would have been driven out of here completely.

You look for more trouble than you people can handle simply because of your numbers.

What a beautiful and resilient city of enugu. Even our musician use our pride in their music video. Thank you phyno for showcasing our resilient city. Very beautiful than Birmingham.

DanArrewa, Totit, come an see our resilient enugu city.

See the guys who are the architect of the thread. Both the Yoruba guy and his friends DanArewaa and totit have been taken to the sword in the thread.
Oga sharap, when your brothers were opening threads upon threads about Ibadan, you did not cry victim. Just one reply from Yoruba guy about the truth about enugu, you were all crying victim.

Lots of northerners have been hiding behind monikers. Arrewa isn’t the only one. You may be surprise to hear this, but there are lots of northerners in South East threads pretending to be Igbos. And this have been ongoing since 2010.
The Igbos rarely hide behind monikers to dish their venom but the northerners are always discreet in their onslaught.
The IPOB dudes are not smiling and have unearthed the games of the north.

When we say SS/SE you start crying about attache by force. The core north are different from the middle belt states as the SE is different from the SS.

You should be Ashamed for your region!

The North being the food basket of the nation doesn't mean it doesn't have vulnerable people!!

The north produce 80‰ of Agricultural produce in Nigeria!!

On daily basis hundreds of trailer of food used to move food down to your region for you to survive!!

Now I challenge you to tell me one thing!! That is produced in igbo land which Nigerians consume??

The only thing you do is to gather Almejiri pictures and be posting on Nairaland!

Tell me one thing that is produced in igbo land which Nigerians consume!!

you people only assemble chines products in Aba, package them and tag them Aba made!!

The south east contribute nothing to our national pause!! Even the oil you're claiming in imo is not in commercial quantity!

Na just few igbo politicians dey use the money service their cars!

North is feeding your region!!

Northerners are feeding you from Generation to Generation!!

You should even thank the north more than you're thanking Jesus!! Cos they're your real Saviours!!
The food is sold it is not gifted to anyone and to that extent is not feeding us any more than Thailand

The key issue when the food is sold how much VAT or any other kind of tax is derived from the sales taken to the federation account and then shared to the states.
HOW MUCH money does Lagos State Government or any local government area in Delta state get from the sale of food from the North?

Imported rice from Thailand is better because the government can collect duty on it.

Agriculture in the North is actually HEAVILY SUBSIDISED
Agriculture in the North is actually HEAVILY SUBSIDISED
Agriculture in the North is actually HEAVILY SUBSIDISED by the Federal government


through irrigation projects, inputs, loans etc. Where does that money come from?
The government gets nothing back in return.

Production of food is valuable activity but it FEEDS no one who is able to put his hand in his pocket and pay for it.
It contributes nothing to Public spending
It contributes nothing to Public spending

Now reverse that and ask how much of the budget of the Federal government, Kano State, Borno state etc are derived from Lagos, Delta Akwa Ibom etc

No it is not clear, you talking about the whole North here, why is it that when stuffs like distribution of wealth or appointments comes, you dont remeber that we have middlebelt ,but if its stuffs like this then remeber that we got middlebelt. Example the conditional cash transfer where you people accussed the government of favouring the north why do you classify some top beneficially states like Kogi and Benue as middlebelt?

Your graph didnt show anything.

Proverty in the north is not hunger but lack of proper housing or no good clothing for kids to wear, lack of education.

Food is nothing in the north, most villagers are farmers, they might be millionaires but are contented with what they can provide for themselves.

Another thing you also need to understand is that farmers do not determine real price of food stuff but middlemen.

Truth be told,you northerners add nothing, absolutely nothing to the value of the country and other Nigerians.

You bunch have been a huge burden on the south especially the Niger Deltans....

You have been in power for donkey years one way or the other and the country haven't fared any better. She keeps going down deep in retrogression which,by the way,is your hallmark.

We southerners say, Thunda Faya Lugard.
Thunda Faya 1914.
Thunda Faya that bloody amalgamation.

We wish it never happened.
