obailala:
Truth is that every region and area in Nigeria is marginalised, except maybe Abuja and Lagos. Only people who aren't marginalised are the political elite.

From the bolded statement, you make it sound like there are actually numerous schools in the northern villages; you make it sound as if the govt actually builds schools there. This is the same zone where you could travel an area the size of the entire Imo state without seeing a single school.

The fact is that, unlike in the south where community effort is used to build schools when govt fails, in the north, the govt doesnt build and the communities dont build schools for themselves too (cos they dont even value education as much as we do down south).

Like I said above, save for Abuja and Lagos, there's no area in Nigeria which isnt marginalised. Forget the songs you've been hearing for ages.

spot-on!

ONYEUTALI:
North is not marginalised.

Other regions suffer from both Federal marginalisation and state negligence.

But the north only suffer from state negligence. My village spent over 200,000,000 million Niara last year maintaining the Federal road that traversed it (Ihiala - Orlu road in Imo). Such can never happen in a northern city not to mention their villages. (Get it deep inside your skull: a FEDERAL ROAD. responsibility of the Federal government.)
In my town, we have 5 Secondary schools and about 15 nursery/nursery schools. Among them all, only one nursery/primary school (built by Rocha's in 2014) is the government educational institution in my town. 2 secondary schools were built by the Town and the rest are private owned.
98% of the public schools in the North were built by the federal government.
The north is not marginalised.
But it'll be over soon. We must restructure.

Going by your assertion, not is not marginalized, but other region regions suffer both federal and state marginalization. Ain't you giving a conflicting position?
Well, I'll appreciate if you speak for your region and not "others" to whip up emotional sentiment.

I need fact and figure. You fixed road in your community , and you think it can never happen in the north. That you even have 200, 000, 000 million on a road from your own coffer shows you ain't marginalized after all. We are talking of poverty, who would think of build road instead of building road users?

I live in an area you'd think should have everything, but we provide our own light , water , security(a gated community) , in fact, even most roads branching from the main inroad were constructed by the residents and the streetlights you have on this street were installed by individuals. Why are you sounding as if this only happens in your region?

Where in our constitution do we have federal roads and state roads? All we have is trunk A and trunk B. Which skull do you want me to sip that gibberish you want me to sip into? You remember what happened between the FG and mbadinuju then on ownership of road and, how a road was halfway constructed and was halted or destroyed, so to speak( I stand to be corrected), because of this line of argument.

Kaduna-brininGwari-Tegina-jeba-mokwa-ilorin road is a deathtrap. A collapsed of the only bridge along this route crippled alot of economic activities recently.

Kabba-ilorin

Markurdi-nasarawa

Benue-taraba

Otukpo-enugu
Markurdi-Ankpa
Maiduguri-Kano
Yola-jalingo
Gombe-yola
Zaria-funtua , etc, all are major "federal roads" in bad state in the north. Why sounding as if it's only in the east you have bad roads? Because of geology, our roads (the few that enjoy attention) usually lasts, and you don't blame us for what nature gave you.

Did you see the road shown to senators who visited benue state and were taken around by the governor?

98% of schools in the north is built by FG? This guy is misinformed and he believes every lies he's told , just like they believed GEJ built 300 almajiri schools in the north.

Do you expect FG to come and build pri. School in your village?

Smh

North

prove it, please.

Self Determination is a right under British laws



Nigeria is worse than a zoo

that's why we have python dancing in the eastern part. What's a zoo without python dance?

TheKabal:
If they try and it blows out of proportion. It a big mess for the west.

News: UK supporting seperatist groups for years in Nigeria.
Refuse to clamp down on hate speech from british radio station.

It's safer to support the military operation here. And, they are in support of Python Dance.

I quite agree with you.

Firstcitizen:
The radio station cannot be shut down like that. The British are smart. They can now increase the amount of weapons sold to Nigeria and make more profit.

If they shut down the radio station, People will not get brainwashed and then there will be no body to do the Python dance shoot meaning less sale of weapons.

you're so right.

jiinxed:
If that is what it takes to restore Biafra, so be it.

come, your biafra restoration is driven by hate , bigotry , lies, madness , etc. It can't fly with this.

attackgat:
This is to show you that how Nigeria classified IPOB a terrorist group is not how the rest of the world sees it. So its either Nigeria is right and the rest of the world wrong, or the other way round

the section of the world you think is right was misled by fake pictures picked from Rwanda used as pictures of IPOB members killed. The world has realized what the group is up to and is changing its tone. We have terrorism going on our land, so the world can't tell us how to nip an emerging one in the bud.

ashjay001:
And dem no allow afghanistan, pakistan n iran rest due to their support of terrorist organisations o

I can't understand that hypocrisy.

Osaib:
That was his visit to Orlu in Imo state, even the guy taking the video said it several times if you had watched the video. My question is, what has happened to the guy taking the video that day the military struck? Because from the voice he was the same person who took this same older video. What have happened to them all?

that's my question too.

smardray:
I was talking to my president.. just help me to keep qwayet

OK oooo

Do they know that at a point in time, Ngozi Okonjo- Iweala was a director of Islamic bank? I think all these attempt to divide Nigeria along religious lines should stop. We are looking for money to develop our infrastructure. Other parts of the world that are even more Christian than us are taking advantage of SUKUK bond”.

those dunderhead won't tell you this. CAN never be scientific, filled with facts and figures in their worthless allegations. They one thing they preach is division.


They won't tell you the so called Christian states benefitted from Islamic banking.


Hypocrite in dirty cassock

totorimi:
He surely must be under the custody of the army, but the real problem now is there will emerge splinter groups committing all forms of atrocities and claiming they are Nnamdi Kanu.

That is the way we want it in Naija do your thing underground because the people leading us don't understand modern day democracy and freedom of self determination.

yes! This what the government will capitalize on. If he wasn't violent in his speech, they can pin something on him. Since he is, he's responsible for everything in SE henceforth. They might even plant a bomb somewhere, detonate it and tag it on his group.


We warned him.

That was his visit to rivers state.

*drags him to okija *

She cute right from time. No makeup, she just fine nashorali.

radiokilla:
No wonder Lie Mohammed had been panicking of late. The pictures and videos of the military action in Abuja state is all over the internet. Mark Zukherberg refused to ban the groups spreading such videos and that is a major worry for the Nigerian army who have been accused of their eagerness to pull the trigger.

una don come with this nonsense again. Trump go give una biafla . He talked about it at UNGA.

IPOD can't expect us to see them as peacemakers while in reality, they act like terrorists. They need to be tamed.



The article by Bruce fein - we know him as an affiliate .

Died? How?

He must come and bring down the zoo.

You guys are trying to create a platform upon which to launch your next line of celebration online by raising this false flag of his death. So when he resurfaces, you'd come here and tell us how he got 24 bullets like 2pac , but survived. How he can't be killed or how he'd unleash his aba-made amoury on all of us having resurrected like Jesus. You guys suffered a huge defeat and you're just looking for ways to console yourselves and find something to toast to.


Are you sure dilekto is not immortal in nature?

Terrorists!

Those British guys could tell us that they can't shut down their radio station because of freedom of speech.


I hope they say that when ISIS set up a radio station in the UK.

How can you allow a station to air hate speech capable of inciting violence like it did in Rwanda? No wonder, they all watched Rwandan kill themselves without offering any help to arrest the carnage. They really want war here so they can sell arms.

They say over 50% of our population is poor. The over 40% that are not poor are more than the population of most countries on that list.


We have our problems- we know. No matter the situation, I don't think we can go cap in hand to beg any of these countries here to beg. Most of them got help from us and it's sad we haven't grown and have let the black race down, but we shall get there.

PDP is boko haram- Azazi.


If buhari could contest in a poll with the creator of BH and defeat them, is it their kids or foot soldiers he won't negotiate with?

Having said that, the OP is being mischievous. The interviewer wanted a negotiation at least with respect to the girls, and as important as that is to the world buhari had to answer in that manner.


Who was Jonathan trying to negotiate with and Nigeria was defrauded in the process? Super eagle?


You have to go dig this old interview up because dilekto was chased into hiding or ran upon sighting a dancing from the zoo( maybe he thought python don't live in the zoo).

Except if marginalization means different things to different people, I want to believe we are all in this together.

I'm a northerner who has traversed the whole of southern Nigeria; of course, this gives me an edge and authority to say a thing or two from experience.

There's a living poverty in the north( what else could make someone leave his family up north and go down south to be a shoe-shiner or mai-guard just to earn meagre change?). Development are concentrated at the city centres. Other places really do not have anything to show.

You'll all agree with me that the crisis in the north-east has its roots in poverty and years of neglect( Davido or well-fed kids can't accept to be suicide bombers).


I served in the east, and for a whole year , I stayed there without visiting home. You can see why I'm angry at Nnamdi Kanu for making that very peaceful, serene and beautiful Umuahia a hotbed of his activity.

Ibo towns are developed and are well planned out; they build their villages(no matter how small it's , you will see one or two very big houses planted in the bush).

Just like every other places in Nigeria , they have their challenges in terms of infrastructural decay, but that is not to say they're the worst hit( I've seen it all in the north).

The little our governors get , they put into use...despite corruption that we have in the system. But you have the governors not doing anything(excluding Chime, Obiano, Ngige and Umahi), and they in turn instigate some of their followers to come online and tag all of us parasites living in the north where their money is used in developing( where the development sef?).


You want 100% resource control, but there's nothing to show for the one you've gotten. You gave them little, they siphoned and you want more for them(governors) . Just Negodu!


Marginalization means if people from the SE are not in key positions of government. But , Jonathan had many of them in key positions and they were heavily represented.

Why hasn't this huge representation in GEJ's government translated to all the roads in the east being fixed and save them the energy they use in blaming Buhari for everything that happens in that region?

My question is: which region is not marginalized in Nigeria?

Don't mind him, he is talking as if marriage is the ultimate, no be the same marriage wey people dey rush and rush out, some even die in domestic violence, some people are just filled with nonsensical opinion.

hi

smardray:
buhari!!!!!! wear suit now.... oga oooo

what does suit mean to you and I ? Would trump put on agbada when he comes to Nigeria? Why won't you ask those Arabian leaders to wear suit to UNGA? What is wrong with Africans with this inferiority complex? You think everything is wrong with your culture and identity and that's too bad.


Just like OBJ, Yaradua, Gej , buhari won't wear suit to please anyone, but identify with our culture.

Ghen ghen

This just went from 0 to 100 quickly.

Now the questions are

1. Can Nnamdi Kanu be tried as a terrorist since laws are not retroactive.

2. What can the Senate president do?

3. What is the option for NNamdi Kanu and his supporters?

4. Remember that Nelson Mandela was once called a terrorist. Any similarity?

trying to liken Mandela to that rogue? That's a terrorism in itself.
