ever wondered why after all these years nigeria still remains in the back waters? because we blame the wrong people!
it is not northern elites that marginalised nigerians, it is nigerian elites(both north and south)

alaoeri: Marginalised as how where's the vice president, senate president, speaker house of rep from, SW supposed to be asking this question. Something is wrong with this op.

Do not forget the office of the CJN which has been their exclusive preserve since time immemorial.

[size=18pt]If they are marginalised, then let them swallow it peacefully... Marginalization in Nigeria is now by zoning... Now it's their turn... When Bihari used PTF Funds to finance all the projects in the north, nobody complained.. I know they are marginalised and rightly so...[/size]

D north are not marginalised because dey hav bn in power since. D people dat are marginalised are d Niger delta people.

naturally i dont respond to comments raised by forumite cos we are all entitled to our opinions. we can rant and yap all day like our opinions count, but it aint gonna change a thing, atleast not in 9ja. it irks me seriously how alot of us hastily jump to start typing halfwitted comment on the keyboard exposing how coarse grained and crass discourse have degenerated to recently. Beaf is unfortunately progressing along this line.

Much as I would want to agree with the fact that we have the Nigerian malaise. There is also the problem peculiar to the North. There is a deliberate attempt to pauperize their citizenry. How many Northen governors are making appreciable impacts in areas of Health, education, infrastructure etc. without FG's intervention?
I served in Taraba state between 2003 and 2004 and it was amazing how the governor was ruling the state from Abuja. He was never around. It was the same story with most Northern governors then (even till now).He would only come when it was time to share the allocation. There was only one major road leading into the town- Hamman Ruwa Way. No meaningful development. This same Taraba was created at the same time with Ekiti. You cannot compare both states now.

The North should be introspective and discard their feudal system which is ingrained in the democratic system. How many Northern leaders give scholarships to indigent students inspite of their enormous wealth? What do they give back to their communities except to build mosques?

We should tell ourselves the hard truths because 'conscience is an open wound'...

ebamma: since the creation of nigeria,the north has produced more heads of state,than any other region,from murtala mohammed,sani abacha,muhammadu buhari,ibrahim babangida and tafawa balewa, but yet none of them cared to develop the north, i blame the northern elite as the cause of its backwardness.

You forgot Shagari and Yakubu Gowon

diezani
gej
ibori
sylva
alaibe
alamasiagha
odili!

Must you criticise everything Beaf says, even when it is glaringly true ? Dont be silly always, you can be silly when on top of your wife.

Who is marginalizing the North ? Last I checked, the North has been in Power for almost for ever. So the answer is Yes, the North has been Marginalized by the North. We are all marginalized by the North. Thanks for asking, now you know the answer.

Looking at it objectively, it would be out of place to say the north has been marginalised politically but they av bn marginalised economically, due to nobody's fault perse bt northerners retrogressive leanings..the fact is no part of the country has been given any extraordinary push by d FG, every region of d country worked their ass off 2 get wateva it is they r benefitn frm 2day. Even more often than not i c d northern part of the country benefitn more (despite contributin less 2 d fed purse). Buts lets refrain frm blamin d avg northerner who is even more affectd, no thanks 2 those theiving bastard politicians who jst happens 2 b northerners. The Babangidas, ciromas et.al.

on top of my wife? really? i thought it was your wife! i have humped her so much that she's beginning to look to you(in your eyes) like she's mine

The Northerners are professioners when it comes to politics, marginalisation, and corruption... sadly true, but Nigerians just don't realize this yet! The Northern elites are the problems of this Nation....

Then i guess ibori, alameiseigha, obj, anenih, deziani, otedola r part of the 12disciples

here they go again! Always looking for the Rabbit and not the Hole? Airing one's view isn't a crime, especialy when it's the fact....

Northners feel that dey re marginalized cuz of there mode of practise and what they believe in so called religion..when u have alamajiri every where, one man marring 4 wives and having more than 20children...
A gate man,shoe shiner, trailer drivers haveing uncounted children...dey can be giving proper training..they will end up being a succide bomber...cuz they don't have value for life and life it self doesn't make meaning to them..
Northners should review there believe...no body have marginalize them...them cause there trouble

torkaka: ^^stup!dity seems to be your catch word!
you said; northern nigerian peasants as well as NIGERIANS are marginalised by northern elites! so i ask you are those in delta not nigerians? are those in bayelsa not nigerians?
what evidence do you have that northern elites have stolen/marginalised people that southern elites have not done?
for every babangida there is a aikhomu, for every aikhomu there is a falae, for every falae there is a nzeribe!
if like you said "northern elites have marginalised northern peasants and nigerians" then its safe to say southern elites have marginalised southern peasants and nigerians!. which can be shortened to " northern and southern elites have marginalised nigerians"!
meantime go and stick your head in a toilet sit where it belongs!

Clap for your stup!dity. Someone asks if the North is marginalised and you start firing foolishly out of point.
Like I said, if you are too foolish to tackle a topic, then instead of scrapping your arse in public like a mad monkey, shut the phuck up and save your pride.

All Northern states have Northern governors and it has been so through history, only a fool would name Southern governors as having marginalised the North. How ridiculous can an adult get? But maybe you smoke a lot of pawpaw leaf sha.

You are a fool indeed!
According to you, Ibori marginalised the North. How?!
Does Delta states money belong to any Northern state or do you just take pride in appearing a fool?
Did Ibori's embezzling Delta states money create the 10million+ almajiri's?

Seun needs to employ a bouncer to slap proudly unintelligent dung like you until your red eyes pop through your nostrils.

Lol. That torkaka is foolishhhhhheeee!

My guy, its really annoying the way all sorts of unintelligent and unrefined people like torkaka pop up to destroy threads with unalloyed foolishness.

Marginalized
So wc region is most rep in fedral service, has lowest university (& fed sec sch) entry requirement. Has more states & political office holders?
The problem of d ordinary northerner has more 2 do with mentality & self development.

Can you please point to one, just one, southern state and one project that the fund was used for? Please no lies. Thank you.

I laugh when ppl complain about what Ojukwu worked hard to end 45yrs ago & they labelled him rebel. Now we must live as one Nigeria, no complain...... ONE NIGERIA.

beaf or is it beef,
i repeat,the topic is talking about northern maerginalisation. you are the one who brought about northern elites marginalising NIGERIANS into the mix! i simply put you in line that southern/northern elites are responsible for the marginalisation of nigeria!
now you are talking about state governors! so does it mean the 16 southern states have reached EUREKA?
ebere jonathan has phucked the little brain you have out through your a.nus hence your irrational and erratic behaviour!
when babangida,abacha,buhari and co were ravaging nigeria where was nzeribe,oyinlola,ani,etiebet and co?
you scum!!

The bolded is the plain truth. 66% of the Worlds countries have fewer people than the number of almajiri's in Nigeria (10 million); now, even that figure pales into insignificance when it is considered that almajiri's are only males. What happens to their female equivalents then? Nigeria has the shameful position as being the worst country in the World for child marriages (legal pedophelia); in states like Kebbi and Katsina, girls as young as nine are given out in "marriage."

Northern marginalisation basically starts from the womb.

Sincerely, let's be truthful. The north is maginalized. You all know they are born to rule. They are supposed to be president forever so since there is a southern president and they are only common vice president, senate president, house of reps speaker, NSA, IG of police, CJN, it isn't fair. They should be president as well. They should also head customs, army, navy, airforce and nnpc. Anything short of that is pure maginalization. The country must be fair to them.
