Disturbed by the high rate of poverty, banditry and kidnapping in northern Nigeria, the Arewa New Agenda Forum, has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to evolve strategies to address them. The convener of the forum, Senator Ahmad Abubakar MoAllahyidi, made the request at a press conference in Abuja yesterday.

MoAllahyidi said Nigeria has been adjudged the world‘s capital for extreme poverty, stressing that this assertion is couched on the data which shows that about five people are dragged into extreme poverty every minute.

He said of about 218 million people in Nigeria nearly 94 million people live in extreme poverty. On the one-day dialogue session with the theme: „Renewed Hope – The Road To End Poverty In Nigeria“, MoAllahyidi said, “This great country of good people accounts for 15.8 percent of the people living in extreme poverty worldwide, caused by insecurity, banditry, corruption, oil theft, amongst others.”

According to him, the statistics showed that 10.2 million out-of-school children of which 98 percent are from the North while 50 percent of the number being nomads. He noted that 15 states of the 36 states of the federation contributed to this 10.2 million and 14 of the 15 states are from the North; only Oyo State is from the South West part of the country respectively. He noted that, 88.4 million Nigerians live in extremely poverty, and almost 80 percent of the 88.4 million people living in poverty are from the northern part of the country.

He said the forum of like-minded individuals came together to promote the continuing prominence, relevance, innovation and development of “the north” through a vision “of a Nigeria; where the north is capable, vibrant and takes ownership of its future.”

“As we consider the issues related to poverty reduction, ANA is not unmindful of two critical issues that have direct bearing on fighting poverty in northern Nigeria. One is the rift between two global business icons of northern origin and pillars of poverty reduction in Nigeria,” he said.

Power!!! North!!!! Wetin happen again? Meaning the Buhari Tinubu and his zombies supported and foist remains a failure cum disaster. So shame and disgrace to all of them. Now they think the slowpoke on seat can save or salvage them? Una name nah sorry.

The owners of Nigeria are still languishing in abject poverty, stark illiteracy, radical religious indotrination, fanatic terror terrorism, economic meltdown and gross under development? nlfpmod

Toh

As e dey hot. South West elders and fish sellers are asking Tinubu to save them. Arewa too that foist Buhari on Nigeria are also asking emilokan to save them? Wonders shall never end o.

North is poverty
South- corruption

This is just the beginning of the great Tinubulation. They are teaching Obi serious political lesson.

They are back to playing the victim once more.
No poor man can marry wives randomly and still afford rifles of over N1m each.

That's their strategy for attracting resources from other regions into the north. Cry about poverty, insecurity, education and lack of structures but at same time steal funds, sponsor anti-education terror groups, sponsor insecurity terrorists, loot public funds.

Racoon:

What about the ones Buhari did? How can a food basket of a giant nation be hungry?

Emilokan Tinubu will never interfere in Arewa or Biafra family matters. If you like, kill yourself finish.

Anything that is not related to Owambe Party of drinking, eating, singing, dancing, and going home with Olosho, we Yorubas are not interested

but the north have been in power for so long.

After you join hands with yorubas to teach some people political lesson.

They refuse to practise birth control
They refuse to invest in Education
They place religion over everything else

No president can help the North, until they help themselves with a significant change in culture and attitude

Wounded obidient and their ways of hallucinating? Why pretending to be Yoruba?

You understand the north very well...If they don't cry, they won't enjoy government services at a subsidized rate even though the passport issuance fee is lower in some northern states. They will cry to attract grants and donations from foreigners. Most NGOs are in the north thereby making their people the ultimate beneficiaries. North practices a socialist system of society, unlike the South. What the northerners benefit from their government, no southern state can do that to their citizens.

Very Bad Guy

Which poverty?. Since Sharia law is their mission, they enjoy the system they craved for. 90% of citizens of Sharia adopted nations are extremely poor. Islamic ideology is the cause. Complaining of poverty when the Mohamedians armies, sponsored by their rich men are destroying crops and imposing jizyah on farmers?

As a Typical igbo man from Anambra, my hotel is going up with speed. Let them keep thinking they're doing us .....Ndi political sagacity

Literally laugh out loud

Igboman is a survivor (not debatable) and understands Nigeria better than some are willing to give us credit

This HOPELESS Bulaba regime will kill northerners with HUNGER!😟😟

In Warri, All the Hausa/FULANI Suya Men, Keke Riders, Bread and Egg Mishai guys,
etc have not Travelled home since the start of 2023.😏😕

One of them told me There is Serious HUNGER there, so no need to travel!. 😒😌

When we tell them that religion is spread by conviction and not by conquest as Mr Piss Be Upon did, they refused to listen,. Now this is just the beginning, the core Northerners will soon find themselves in several concentration camps under various mad mullahs.

PUSSYHOE:

The same North that produced Buhari,Abacha,IBB etc..?
North invented corruption into Nigeria system.

The president will do something about it

For poverty. Drag your Northern leaders who have kept your people in perpetual poverty

For insecurity and banditry. That is for Tinubu to solve .

Whatever you are smoking, stop it.

My head is not flat, I was not manufactured in a baby factory, and I don't have brothers in prisons abroad for drugs trafficking.

No let me curse you that God will make you a flat headed developer

omekaonyeara and quotashiytem will be talking about southeast when their northern region is in a deep mess.

There's nothing like banditry nor poverty in the north, after all it's the North that's feeding the entire Nation

Thunda faya them.
Thunda faya lugard.
Thunda faya that 1914 amalgamation
