Then why do we see all the repots about extreme poverty in the North from international bodies like the UN?

It's a formulae to secure funds and grants from UN and foreign donors.

Northerners wise pass them. Them no know.

Very wise indeed

The North will even fare better than the South East, because government infrastructure and intervention is heavily concentrated there.
We in the South East have to pay for every drop of fuel we use, through our sweats and also may not have adequate access to government sponsored intervention. Worry for us down here, and not the North. The only solution, like I said, is to hustle harder. No easy way out.

30 million people on Twitter were busy yesterday watching handsome and rich looking Igbo men yesterday. Remittances alone sent by our people from abroad is our subsidy while Tinubu has forcefully taken away your feeding bottle

After Buhari ruled for 8 years look at the result below

The world's most poverty ravaged region

Did you just mentioned "handsome Igbo men"? Handsome and Igbo men can not be mentioned in the same sentence. How can you refer to those men that look like native Doctors, as handsome? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Ignorant kid. What type of food comes from North to East? Are they not mostly perishables? If they don't bring them quickly to the East they will rot. So, who lose?

We have home grown alternatives as well options from Cameroun. Fact remains they need our market more than we need their perishable farm produce

Eventhing you eat comes from the almighty North. Except that unhealthy food you call Akpu.
Even the raw materials used in Nnewi and Aba to produce those fake products your people make, are from the North.

When we blow that bridge that connects Asaba to Onitsha, and the one that connects Enugu to Benue. That will be the end of theEast. Na hunger go just finish them

N3TRAL:
The Northerners produce what they eat (plant and animals).

The Northerners do not patronize non-essential Foreign imports like clothing, wine, furniture, etc. For instance, the wardrobe of an average poor northerner is made of locally produced traditional wears and cap.

Basic education in the North has relied basically on NYSC members for human resources. Basic and secondary schools would still go on as it is.

My short experience in the Nigerian public sector furnishes my conclusion that indigent undergraduates of northern heritage are more likely to access student loans. Firstly, because their prominent natives who qualify as guarantors will mostly sign their loan papers than their southern counterparts. Secondly, most of them fall within the demography of those the loan policy is designed for as they are more likely to lack means to further their education and the desire to emigrate.

If they want to travel interstate or down to the South, they'll join trailer-trucks conveying agricultural goods down to the South. A poor northerner travels that way, with or without subsidy.

And you want them to remain in that conditions because you Tinubu to be the President in this century?
This is sheer wickedness and wish of Penury on your fellow humans.

Is this the meaning of "this Government will favour me"?

Northerners also produce
Maggi
Provisions
Salt

The North is safer than the East. As it stands now, all Igbo people are Simon Ekpa's prisoners.

Thank God nothing associate me with this People.

i was born and raised in the north and have also lived in the south and I can tell you that northerners are not poor as you guys think. They produce what they eat and wear them while people in the south depend on job to eat. So tell me who it will affect the most. What southerners don’t know is that an attack on farmers by bandits and herdsmen in the north means scarcity of food for all

Where in the North did you live?
Poverty is too prevalent in the north, except Jos

Depriest2020:
Don't worry about North, North is fine ok.
Think and worry about your region, even if power don't return to the north in the next 50yrs, North would still be fine.

Petrol is 530 here not 700. Food is cheap in the North, house rent is cheap, transport fare is cheap to compare with other regions, the average northerner is contented with the little he has and let's nothing worry him. The north has more than a thousand billionaires in dollars not naira, forget Forbes listing just Dangote & Abdulsalmad Rabiu as the only dollar billionaires.

North is heavily diversifying into production.
POP Cola, beverages is giving coca-cola a-run-for-their-money here in the North.
Aspira company has given PZ a-run-for-their-money, PZ has anounced they would quit production of toiletries. google about POP beverages and Apira company to learn more about North diversifying to production, there's many more companies here that I can't immediately name them all.

What the OP said is the sad reality. I know the North very well,
and can counter whatever you posted with pure facts, no insult.
(1) The part of the North that will be affected most by the post subsidy conditions will be the North West( which you happen to come from) because most food basket of the North are in the NE and NC.

(2) Kaduna and Kano have high cost of living compared to some states in the South, but most people tend to believe otherwise until they experience it both ways.( I can prove it if you press further).

(3) The Northern diversification to production that you talked about, POP cola that you mentioned is owned by Mahmuda a Lebanese and Aspira is owned by Mr Lee a Chinese in Kano, most indigenous companies are struggling to survive in Kano because of logistical, multiple taxation, high rental cost and other factors( the only cheaper thing compared to the South is the Labour)

So my dear forget about the needless comparison the North will surely feel the crunch of this vital hardship the more, all they need to do is to buckle up and try to find a way to swim against the tide.
It shall be well.

What you mentioned


Focus on what Herdsmen are doing in the EAST.

proeast:
Tinubu's sweeping policies have hit Nigerians hard, but many don't even understand the dire situation faced by Northerners, particularly NE and NW. For a region that has always enjoyed subsidy in almost everything, from fuel, to education, electricity, health etc. what is happening now may lead to famine and chaos. This region is already the world's worst performing in terms of maternal mortality, extreme poverty, infant mortality, illitracy, insecurity, under 5 mortality, out of school children, pervasive malnutrition etc.

Consider the facts below:

1. Fuel 500 in South & 700 in North post fuel subsidy.

2. From free/cheap electricity to very expensive electricity post power sector subsidy.

3. From dirt cheap tertiary education to paying hundreds of thousands post educational subsidy.

4. There was inadequate health facilities and low patronage during health subsidy so I wonder how the situation will be post health sector subsidy.

If Southerners are complaining bitterly then you can only imagine the crises that is about to hit Northern Nigeria. Unfortunately, most of them don't even understand how gloomy things are for them except few of their educated elite like Sanusi Lamido.

So, I ask, would Northern Nigeria survive Tinubu's extreme capitalist economy?

Waiting for Ohanaze Ndi ibo to charter a course for us.

A serving Faculty of Law President of a Public Northern University showed me his large farm that generates about 7 million naira monthly. That was in 2018. He had a slender physical figure and hadn't bought his first car yet.

These are just few from the food we supply to Igbo People in the EAST. You mentioned Garri, Fufu, Abacha. These are all made from Casava. We in the North see Garri, Akpu and Abacha as food for hungry people. Besides, they are unhealthy food. That's why we don't eat them.

Perhaps you would consider that that region is the most policed in the country with all sorts of corrupt security agencies mounting illegal checkpoints on the road and extorting tanker drivers together with all commercial transport and private vehicles.

What do you think that does to the price of petrol?

Don't forget, the North feed the East. When they decide not to send food to Igbo Land, People in that Region will starve to death.

Remember last year, when Truck drivers who supply Food stuffs from the North, decided to boycott the East. All IGBO leaders became apprehensive. They were running upandan. Begging Northern leaders to intervene.

Northern leaders have to appeal the the truck drivers. But before Northern business men began to supply Food to Igbo Land that time, Igbo leaders had to pay Billions as compensation to all the Trucks Igbo People looted in the East.

Lol, Northerners can't even feed themselves talk more of sending food to the East. We buy the foodstuff with our money and if we don't, they will sink deeper into multidimensional poverty. People that still feed from dustbins can't possibly feed those that are relatively comfortable.

However, we know the region that keeps mining the skulls and body parts of their people. The afonjas are too lazy to the point they believe that only ritual can save them from poverty

Don't mind that guy, SE and SS are the real progressives in virtually everything. Whether it's education, sports, traveling, smartness etc, they're always tops. However, the NW, SW and NE are the most docile and unprogressive set of people. Hausas began almajiri system, Yorubas copied it. Hausas began begging culture, Yorubas copied it and made bambiala part of their culture. Now, reports has it that Yorubas have also copied Hausas in traveling with Dangote trucks like cattle

Also check the region that has remained stunted since 1970's. What they call cities are nothing but glorified slums. Their villages are even worse, imagine people that still build mud houses in 2023

Mr Healthy. Na ur North healthy pass. Some Northerners move like dogs on the street. Mr healthy. Propaganda is all U depend on.

Let me now expose them. My brother, have you ever seen any Hausa dominated settlement in the South that is beautiful? The ama awusa at Douglas road Owerri is the dirtiest part of town. Always smelling, putrid gutters and shanties/small shops everywhere. It has been like this since 1970. Same story with all their settlements be it in Aba, Benin, P.H, Lagos, Asaba etc. Same thing with Yorubas. If it's Igbos, you will see them building plazas, super markets, hotels, fast foods and duplexes in their settlements. These people can comfortably live in very filthy environment for ages! Unlike people of SE and SS that live in decent environment.

Delusions of grandeur. When did apple, pineapple, eggs, cheese, yam, milk, honey, chicken, egusi, and dry started coming from North? Are you insane?

Apples, milk, cheese etc are imported. Honey, egusi, chicken, dry fish, palm oil, cassava and pineapple are fully produced in the East. Yams, rice, and maize are partly produced in the East and others from middle belt. FYI, middle belt is not part of North.

Aside the fact that you're glorifying their multidimensional poverty, here are other facts you overlooked;

1. Traditional Northern wears are mostly brocade and they're from textile mills which they have to pay for, not locally produced.

2. They sell the food they produce to enable them buy other basic things. Now price of those basic needs have all skyrocketed beyond their reach.

3. Farm produce will need to be transported with expensive fuel. It will affect their profit margins badly. If they decide to increase their prices too much to accommodate it, they risk not making enough sales.

4. Most Northern farmers have no storage facilities. They must sell their perishable farm produce once they're harvested or risk incurring losses. This makes them to sell at very low rates during peak season and have nothing to fall back on afterwards.

5. In education, I'm talking about tertiary where the subsidy was removed. Prior to that, Imo, Anambra or Delta each often have more university enrollment than the entire NW or NE. If they were having such abysmal enrollment prior to education subsidy removal, what do you think will happen now?

All I see is a very gloomy picture ahead for NW and NE.

So U think those jobs will be enough to help the millions of youths from the North.
