hmmmmmm. i personal cant understand why they southerners, especially igbos, cant go back home. in fact we still see them trooping into north in their thousands. what exactly is wrong with your region that makes a crisis prone north more attractive than your SE for the record, am not hausa-fulani ooo.

Do you think with your anus?

Don`t you know that the Northerners in the South are here as servants?
Don`t you know that the Igbo men up North live there as Lords?
Don`t you know that Igbo men there are there to pack the remains of the North?
Don`t you know that Northerners are lazy and cannot compete in the south that is why they prefer to remain there?
Who works in their banks?
Who does their think tank jobs?
I can go on and on,

Europeans trooping into Africa doesn`t mean Africa is better than thier land. They simply come here to loot.

Common sense man think!

Is it a sin for each region to grow at their own pace.
Government should cancel federal character from our ministery and automatic slots for educationally less developed states in our federal universities.

@topic

@Topic,
They should start like their counterpart from the south: Send children to school, to acquire functional education. Islamic schools have its benefits, and certainly more disadvantages in a secular county like Nigeria. Northern leaders, nay, discerning parents from Core North, need no rockets scientists to tell them so. Take a look around. Most Core Northerners cannot rub shoulders with the peers from the South, in education, intellect, and quality of live. This is not disparaging, and besides I am quoting their leaders.

The SE/SS has long closed the educational gap, that existed after the war, with the SW to the benefit of Nigeria. NC is catching up fast! Where are you oh NE, NW, where are your children? What are you waiting for, another Presidency? To do what exactly? You cannot have political power forever, in fact you dont need it, it is distraction! Besides, your continually seeking for political power is creating unease with other part of the country. SE/SS at the peek of marginalization embraced education, as the choices where limited. This is your chance to do something for the next generation, focus on the next 25 years, not on 2015!

Northern governors and leaders should start pushing for free and compulsory education of western up to secondary levels for their next generation. The Almajiri system has exploded literally in their face, it is not beneficial in 21st century modern Nigeria, and world. Dantata, Dangote, etc should start scholarship schemes like Rochas (even if it means helping only northerners); as a matter of fact, they should sponsor train the trainer (Teacher's Education) for willing and dedicated people. In the South, people send money for our siblings school fees and that - so Dangote's assistance may not be directly needed.

Political power has not benefit the North, rather, it has disenfranchised and pauperized them . To continue to do the same thing the same way and expect a different result is the beginning of insanity. North must change strategy! Insistence on political and religious power as an end by itself is their greatest undoing. The SE has over the years built capacity - intellectually and economically (and are still building). SW has been on top of their game many years ahead of their peers; aided by the fact that unlike the SE/SS and North, they didn't lose hundreds of thousand of their sons, let alone millions, during the civil war as their sons and daughters were getting educated while the country smoldered in the bitter war!

If the North fails to hearken to the need to upgrade the gray matter of their children with functional education, and continue to use the game of numbers - politics- as a tool for relevance and dominance, it is only a matter of time before the worse happen. And when it does, they could find the rest of Nigeria unforgiving and unfaltering. They would then have to play their last card, and hope that it be a Joker!

And on a lighter note, I am tired of the Southern (SE, SS, SW) intellectual war on Nairaland, when are we going to square off with droves of (core) Northern intellectuals? Hopefully they will be around to confront our children in intellectual banter. Hopefully. . .

haha. igbo as lords indeed. We have igbo tenants for starters. They are mostly into stuffs like mama put, abacha and uba sellers, welders, provision store owners etc. O yeah thats what u call "living as lords" lol. And for the record u hardly find people from my state in your states, except on fg assignment-why would anyone in his/her right senses leave the middle belt for the south east, lol. And for your europeans trooping into africa analogy, hahahà. U do know that there are far more africans trooping into europe than europeans coming to africa. Same way u guys keep trooping to the north and pretending your doin the north a favor. Who asked for your favors. And talking about looting. Who are u guys looting? Northerners can be anything but lazy. Yeah. Tryin to be rich through arm robbery, kidnapping, ritualism, drug trafficking. Thats what i call lazy. An average Northerner is in most cases a farmer. Some are into white collar jobs.

Aboki, you appear to be the only learned hausa man I have seen so far , because this is the first time am seeing an aboki like you on the NL. Another question can you still explain why virtually all the beggars on our street are all northerners even after ruling this country for nearly 4 decades

Abeg help me ask am. He thought those beggars are aliens.

Instead of him to go back to their North and go mobilize other youths in the region to start a revolution like their Arab brothers coz their yeye leaders have failed them and the whole nation.

hahahà look at them barkin like dogs. Yeah the SE is clean. Thats why places like aba, onitsha are only befitting for pigs, lol. U can never find a place like that in the middle belt. And who said we will be like niger if not for the oil? Despite your claims of being stupendiosly educated u do not know that the middle belt can very much survive with or without oil (the middle belt is blessed with solid minerals and agriculture, enormously for that matter). talking about quota system? Go and look it up dude, the middle belt are not educationally disadvantaged. We've got brains that can hold their own anywhere, anyday. . For the record am not hausa and my people dont beg for alms.

Shut up you are a real aboki whether from middle belt or core north. All of you are hausas and at the same time terrorists and boko harams and killers. Another name for all of you guys whether your from middle belt or elsewhere is terrorist. An average northerner like you is a suicide bomber. For your reference, Onitsha is a more organised clean and peaceful city compare to the war and bomb torn north with beggars all over the place, with little or no educational, infrastructural, developmental base. Come to Onitsha all the beggars at Upper Iweka are all northerners and middle belters. You guys are so hopeless and doomed, no wonder you are only good for suicide bombing. Low lives

@POST


Anybody who remotely insinuates northern region of Nigeria lags behind in any human endeavor within or outside Nigeria should be summarily shot. Northern region of Nigeria outpaces any other region in Nigeria as far as the eyes could reach.

It has the highest or equals any region in number of heads of state, president, prime minister, cabinet ministers, permanent secretaries, ambassadors, federal establishments, industries, universities, speakers, armed forces senior officers, top police officers and millionaires produced or situated in Nigeria.

In my book, northern region is shoulder and head above other regions within Nigeria in terms of development. The talk of northern region lagging behind is the most cynical and conniving statement out of the cesspit called Nigeria.

^^

Your argument is baseless and lacks focus. We have acknowledged the fact that the north has ruled Nigeria for over 30yrs, but nothing to show for it. They have produced all the 'heads of all the top offices' in Nigeria but nothing to show for it, after holding the top offices they have remained so backward educational and otherwise. They have remained one of the poorest regions in Africa. The level of poverty in the north can only be compared to the somalia, chad etc. That few people are rich in the north does not make sense, its called abnormal curve in economics, where as you have what is called normal curve in the south especially the SE, where the income is spread evenly amongst the citizenry, unlike in the north where few people are rich while the greater number of the population are swimming in the ocean of poverty. It is this same army of poor and unlettered populace in the north that are being used by their leaders to spearhead the boko haram, terrorism and their political career.

now i get time for u bigots

if the north is suffering, why not go back to the south where there is development

Very unhospitable, arrogant and ungrateful set of people. Ever wonder why the Mikel family and loads of other igbos still prefer to stay in jos despite the crises. Well thats because a war torn north is still better than your erosion-prone, kidnapping, armed robbery, ritualism ravaged cursed land. And who is doomed? Have u ever heard of any middle belter caught in europe for drugs traffickin? But we all know tens of u are been imprisoned or killed all the time in asia. U come here bragging about u blood money.

what is bad is to add a region or ethnic group together because it is only some of them that think like animals not all so join everyone to it is a wrong thing to do

you guys are just making comments , how many of you have been to north?. Let me tell u, the problem of the north isthat the gap between rich and poor is very high. If you goto north you will see poor people and very wealthy people as well, but i will never blame you guys, to be frank, because thats wat happen to me when i went to niger republic i began to ask my self are these people really poor? Cos their standard of living is not dat bad. But due to some few people living in poverty doesn't mean the whole country or region is poor. I didnt mean north is not a poor region, but not everywhere in d north, just like the south too.you guys are just making comments , how many of you have been to north?.

i though this thread will be clean, full of stats and rational, so that we know whats truly happening.  

GAR3TH:

In my opinion the core north (states that border Niger) will not see any development anytime soon. It will take decades and changes in social life before they start to see development or jobs.Weather you like it or not, the average northerner does not value education. I'm not saying every northerner, I'm saying the majority of northerners don't value education.

Education is what drives job growth which leads to development and an educated society is what investors want and hence what creates jobs. In America you need a high school diploma or be enrolled in high school to get an entry level job at McDonalds, thats right, McDonalds. If you are not in high school nor have a high school diploma you won't even be eligible for a job at McDonalds.

The main reason the south has a higher employment rate and a more active economy than the north is education. Alot more southerns attend universities than northerns, which is why the southern parts of Nigeria is THE hot spot for investors, which leads to jobs and an increase in human development. Yes, the south is just as corrupt as the north but even with the corruption you can see that southerns live better than their northern counterpart. Its a shame that many people don't know the true value of an education.

I couldnt agree more with you.

For any Northerner to claim that the North is not underdeveloped is part of the problem (playing the ostrich), Until the North can revive the leadership quality of the late Sardauna that places PREMIUM on education, infrastructure, equity and justice, the North will be the region that keeps dragging Nigeria back.

In all indices, the north lags. The problem of Boko Haram is child's play to what the army of uneducated, poor and frustrated urchins roaming the streets will do to Nigeria in the next 10 - 20 years.

I think that northerners should not feel so bad when jibes are thrown their way cause of their relatively under developed region. WHat should happen is that this should ginger them to action, rather wasting their breath defending the indefensible. Who knows, in 10 - 20 years they may be the ones throwing jibes to others.

Part of the disconnect here is that @emmke (a middle belter) doesn't seem to realize that NC is very, very different from the NE and NW in development metrics.

Usually when people say that "the North lags behind", they are referring to the core north. Not the middle belt.

Yes, NC is behind. But they seem to be working hard to close the gap. See this thread for example:
https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-725471.0.html

I think the only eye opener the core north needs is when all southern Nigerian states come togerther and give the north an ultimatum to either catch up or merge with Niger or Chad. The few northern states which are catching up quite well like Plateau,Southern Kaduna,Southern Bauchi and Parts of Nassarawa and Adamawa are been threaten by the jealousy filled Hausa/Fulani illiterate,islamic fundamentalists.

The self-glorifying mindset you poured on your post, as shown above, is the reason the south-east does not have a single federal presence in the zone. If Lagos,by chance of wit. should be thrown out of equation of development in the Nigeria, northern region will soundly trump all southern regions combined in development.

It will take a mad dictator from eastern region to rule Nigeria for forty (40) years in order to bring south eastern region to half the development seen in northern region. Is there anything industrially or politically imaginable not situated in northern region except seaport because there is no ocean?

Pal, I do not give a ratarse if all demographic segments of northern region did not see the four walls of western civilization-styled institution, northern region of Nigeria is developed in terms of economic infrastructures situated in the region.

Every imaginable government parastatal required to give regions leverage as far as development is concerned could be pointed out by a blind person in northern region of Nigeria.

I would want to rate you an intellectual but your post is stating otherwise, comparing northern and southern Nigeria is ludicrous even a Non-Nigerian who had never visited Nigeria would know better and don't you think variables like literacy rate, poverty rate, access to basic health facilities, economic activity etc. are better factors determing a good standard of living and not merely a federal parastatal?

Mr. LUGE, let me educate u a little. Oil was not first drilled in Nigeria with "groundnut money". Oil exploration and production was funded by the international oil companies like Shell. They invested their own money, produced oil, sold it and paid royalty to the Nigerian government. I hope you can bring yourself to learn that for a start.
