Arewa God bless you for this.
This was the same thing I was telling some guys in port harcourt last Sunday. Se eeh if not for my size and popularity in that area bottle for land for my head that day.

Every region have and know the cause of our problems but instead of tackling the problem we prefer to blame others for it even when it is clear to Us that the problem is caused by indigenous people from that region.

No, you are terribly wrong. Kano has been a commercial hub for centuries before the colonial masters even came to civilize the primitive natives of Lagos. It did not become so becausenof western education. Western education or not, if the state has favourable policies, raw materials and an existing market, then that state will prosper. By the way, the 40%ers in Kano that are literates are more than the population of many southern states. Also, things are no longer the way they used to be. Everyone sends his kids to school these days.

Talking about "sanity", I can authoritatively state that Kano is a lot saner than most of your states, Lagos inclusive. Kano doesn't have one million boys, doesn't have cultists, has no killer herdsmen (save for a few kidnappers that attack less than 20 people per month), has no millions of Yahoo boys and other vices. In Lagos, you find all sorts of pollution and scammers everywhere. I also dare you to mention ONE state that doesn't have mud houses in thousands. I went to Ebonyi in 2012 and I was not impressed. Same thing happened when I entered ondo state in 2014. I would pick my state (Kaduna) over any of them.

There is no false hope here. Northern States like Kebbi, Kano, Gombe and Kaduna have been getting lots of FDIs over the past few years. Kaduna just surpassed your almighty Lagos.

Talking about the contrast of Abuja and other northern states, you are being a hypocrite. How many states in Southern Nigeria can measure up to Lagos?

Proximity to Abuja DID NOT DEVELOP KADUNA. If you take a few seconds of your time to actually think, you would ask yourself : what about the other states that are close to Abuja?

Kaduna is not the only state near Abuja. During the time of Ramalan Hero and Yakowa, they did nothing to improve Kaduna state but people like Makarfi, Namadi Sambo and best of all, Elrufa'i are responsible for the recent transformation of Kaduna. In fact, I believe we will soon overtake Kano with the amount of projects going on.

Kano and Kaduna have a high amount of population (which is one of the major reasons for Lago's success whether you agree or not). Kanawas are known for business. They have the best businessmen in Northern Nigeria. Most of them are more geared towards commerce than school, and that is why they have millions of ILLITERATE millionaires and billionaires. Imagine a state like that having a sea port. They would be on the same level with your Lagos.

Actually, Abuja did not significantly change until the era of Obasanjo. Yes, it was under a southerners administration that Abuja was transformed but you can't undermine the superb expertise of the FCT minister. It isn't Obasanjo that is known as "Mai Rusau" today, it's a northerner. Also, by your logic, we can say that the north developed Lagos since more Northerners ruled than Southerners since 1960.


Abuja did enjoy decrees, but so did Lagos since the late 1800s! The white men played a major part in the development of Lagos and no matter what, FCTs will always get benefits. Move the FCT to Zamfara today and I will assure you that in the next 10 years, it will be better than most Nigerian states.

To understand this, ask yourself why South Africa, the country with most White Settlers,
is more developed than all the countries in Subsaharan Africa. It's because the white came in and favored themselves right from the start. It's the reason the best neighborhoods till that are owned by the whites. It's the same factor that is favoring Lagos and not because it's citizens have superhuman brains.
