Every time I check Nigerian blogs, newspapers, forums etc.. It's always the same rhetoric from Southerners about how the Northerners are so poor, uneducated, uncivilized etc.. Yet these same people have been ruling the country since independence - either directly, or indirectly..

Please, I want an intellectual discourse - not ethnic e-fights.

Thanks.

Na okoro dey underestimate them, my brother.

Both southerners and northerners are lunatics..

I'm a westerner, I guess I'm out of the equation.

@OP... I don't think 'UNDERESTIMATE' is the right term for the Southern Nigerians' stereotypical perception of Northern Nigeria. We (southerners) do not understimate the LATENT capabilities, abilities and prowess of Northerners if provided with same opportunities (dynamic ideology, infrastructure, exposure etc) as with the southerners. The fact is: as long as these 'opportunities' are not provided, Northern Nigeria will continue to be in a relegated position...

Because southerners are dogs and baboons. They are too arrogant to go as a body.
