Their lands are fast turning to deserts , I won't lie to you

No water underground
The river Niger flows through your place is actually a mixture of the Rivers Benue and Niger. Niger flows through Kebbi and NIger states with other rivers flowing into it from Sokoto and Zamfara. The Benue flows through Adamawa, Nassarawa Taraba and Benue. They then meet at kogi and flow through your land. So the water you are getting is the one that aboki has washed nyash and defecated inside.

What happens if the south stop buying agricultural product from the north? answer = there will be a serious economic problem up north
What happens if the north stop selling agricultural product to the south? answer = the south will quickly import it from others countries

You don't know what you are talking about.
Famine is now a new thing in the north.

If the north is so buoyant, why is there a serious case of hunger, malnutrition and stunted growth in that part of Nigeria?.

The only place in the so called north that produce significant food is the middle belt.
They produce yam, tomatoes,onion, cattle That is the only thing the south needs from the middle belt.

The rest is produced in the south.
There is no southern region that does not grow food.

The herdsmen invading people's farmlands in southern Nigeria will give you a better picture.



The people of Makurdi are living witnesses to whatever crosses River Benue. From fruits grains, tomatoes ,onions soked fish and livestock. You can include expired horses , donkeys and dogs that provide your protein needs. Shut up.

The only thing you do is to go and download 2008 Almajiri pictures and be posting on Nairaland...
Go to the North and see how development is hitting every state!
Go to kano, Kaduna, Gombe, jigawa and bauchi!!

Go and see how northern politicians are working for their people and developing urban areas!!

Your region at the other hand is backward and underdeveloped!! Beggers in the south east are in increasing in large numbers!!


You're here posting Almajiri pictures!! Using Almajiri pictures to convince your brothers that you're actually better than the north!!

Keep deceiving yourselves!!

This is your region!

You should be Ashamed of your unproductive 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!!
Kai nawa finish them they don't know the village northernner has more lands and assets than alot of civil servants in Nigeria including northern civil servant just because they live low dosent mean they are poor

Subsidised fertilizer, subsidised seed inputs,financial subsidies

ALL PAID FOR with money from other places.

Food sold by farmers who

Keep all the revenue ,
Pay no tax
Pay no VAT

And some buffoon has the cheek to say they are feeding anyone.


When they sit down in Abuja each month to share money how much of it is from tomato and onions
How much did tomato and onions contribute to the building of Abuja or the Kaduna Abuja rail?

How much does tomato and onion contribute to government spending?
You sound... Ok guess wat before oil was found we every region participated in agriculture, even the SS were engaged in fishing activities then only the east was least in that aspect now that oil is about to dry up tell me which mouth east go get and it was money gotten from agriculture mostly from northern Nigeria that was used to explore fields and discover oil

Shut up jare,you bunch depend on the Fed Govt and south for survival.
The monthly fed govt allocation,is it derived from your agriculture? The free fertilizers the govt provide you bunch, the bulk of which your emirs apportion to themselves,how many,if any at all,how many gets to the south?!
Now the only sugar product here in Lagos is Dangote sugar and Bua granulated sugar cos the northern fed govt,thru it's deceit,closed up boarders,so now we don't have Saint Louis sugar anymore! That's how you people use the govt for your own north benefit alone..

If you bunch have balls,why have you been kicking against true federalism restructuring regionalism resource control?!?!
You know nothing apart from the elites do you think the average northernner gives a fvk about oil ? Well it's a capital NO the northerner in the village only cares about his farm or business the only problem in the north is illitracy that all nothing more

They are countries that transformed into developed countries and built their infastructre with one product of agriculture unlike Nigeria where we have different verities of them, just because we rely on oil to much doesn't mean agriculture can't do any good

How do other Nigerians get the northern region of Nigeria to agree on self determination? One thing is to achieve disintegration of Nigeria another is to stop the wave of migration from northern region due to hunger.

I guess you don't how different tiers of Government in Nigeria generate their revenues.

1) Farmers who plant and harvest Tomatoes, Yam, Potatoes, Sugarcane, Pepper etc pay personal income tax to THEIR State Governments


2) When these food items are taken to the market to be sold, the sellers pay tax to the LOCAL GOVERNMENT where the markets are located.


3) If Yams, Cocoa, Cotton, Hard woods, Cashew nuts, Kolanuts, Beans, Leather, bones and dried stockfish are exported, the exporter pay tax (export duty levies) to the Federal Government through the Nigerian Custom Service.
