Always quick to down talk your own and country...


Classic sign of inferiority complex. Who told you it was nsa that gave them coordinates?

If his opinion of Nigeria is a sign of inferiority complex, your opinion of the US is proof of the same mentality.

MarkNsukkaBread:
For once I would have been happy if the guy had succeeded.

Donald Trump has become a nuisance the world does not need right now

Nobody gives a damn about what would make you happy.

Kemetian:
THE SAME NORTH WITH 20 MILLION IGBOS LIVING THERE?

WHAT ''GENOCIDE''?

IF THERE IS GENOCIDE THERE, WHAT ARE 20 MILLION IGBOS DOING THERE? BUILDING HOUSES, RUNNING BUSINESSES? TRADING?

WHY HAVEN'T THEY FLED THE 'GENOCIDE' AND HEADED BACK HOME TO THE EAST?

SHAMELESS LIARS.

20 million Igbos? 😆😆. Stop, just stop.

It’s too early to laff this morning. If you don’t know what to say, commenting is optional.

Flangelo12:
There's no Christian Genocide in Nigeria.

I wonder why the same is not said in Mali.

The the banner specify?

helinues:
Sebi that's the same way we have also been helping the West to kick out their bad leaders.

You are too chronically bitter about Political discussion

Oga you and your multiple accounts should rest.

Firstcitizen:
You will be alright

At least you didn’t call me a liar. 😃

SmartPolician:
Oga, stop dragging the Igbos into every Nairaland discussion

You’re free to ignore. Your attention is irrelevant.

WhiteIverson:
The entire south west belongs to fulanis. The Yoruba people are just occupying it for now.

That will change in no time. Exciting isn’t it?

yarimo:
Kwankwaso think he can win anything in Kano state with lies, 2027 kwankwaso will know what is really Andrew liver salt better

Rubbish talk. If he had agreed to deputize your messiah you would be saying something diametrically dissimilar.

DeOTR:
The literacy rate in the southwest is 88%. 4 of the 6 states are among the top 10. Check industry leaders in every sector. Who do find there? That's how you measure success and influence, not graduating with first class without knowing how to fill NYSC forms.

SW doesn’t mean Yoruba.

And we’re happy for you. Good luck in Kwara and the remaining wasteland enclave.

What will they do exactly? Only a person like trump fit get time to handle delusional tyrants like T-bobo.

Mrchippychappy:
Lagos na real MEGA SHITTY.

The place is ass.

EponObi:
But when the Nigerian military retaliates, Obi and Atiku will enter the market square to lie that our military are eliminating civilians.

This is so sad. RIP to our gallant officers.

I talk am🤣🤣 Tbobo no get good powder. Try Dey purchase am from another dealer.

Lanretoye:
First of all agree that Tinubu is a master of politics.you have finally found someone to borrow you money to buy one itel phone abi na Easybuy?

c in politics, f9 in governance. That “thing” is the worst thing that has ever happened to Nigeria.

Richtaiwo:
Propaganda?

You mean pitobi didn't work with Abacha?

What exactly is wrong with working with abacha? Even Tinubu proposed to work with him.

lawani:
Almajiri is not derogatory. It is what someone that went through traditional Hausa schooling is. Dantata was an Almajiri just like ninety percent of the Hausa of his days.

I said around 20 million Hausa adults excluding children. Total number of Hausa people earning income in the country can't exceed 25 million. Hausa people are farmers, traders, craft men, business owners, artisans, professionals and civil servants just like any other group. If other groups are actually making it more than them then why is the North buying a larger percentage of cement produced in the country than their share of the total population? The North buys around sixty percent of cement produced in the country and NIN registration show them to be just 55 percent of the population. That is a real stat showing the North doing better than the South in buying cement. So just accept the reality that they are just like any other group.

Every group of people on Earth today have many poor people and not so many rich people but at least people are building houses, buying cars and training their kids

Yet if I had called you almajiri you would have started giving me a myriad of reasons why Igbo will never be president😂. I’ve never seen a southerner call a northerner that word with good implications. Imagine calling Dangote an almajiri. Even he knows the word is disrespectful. At least, it’s a double entendre.

Also, by north are you adding non-Hausa dominated regions, like the north central? With Abuja in it? Abuja is the fasted developing region in Nigeria and one of Africa’s fasted growing economies. The development in Abuja is largely credited to the Nigerian oil economy and the contributions of Nigerians from across the country.

NiN information is not reliable in ascertaining the actual population of any region in Nigeria. This becomes more true the further north you go. Because the far north has a larger portion of its population who have no use for an identity card. Many among them have not had contact with the most basic amenities like clean water, which is almost ubiquitous in the south. You will hardly achieve a comprehensive demographic study on the north without considerable margin of error.

I do believe the north is just like any other region. It has its ups and downs. There’s no difference between us. We’re all black people. That said, someone will always be poorer. And for now it’s the north.

lawani:
The around twenty million Hausa adults that exist in Nigeria are involved in one economic activity or the other. The ones that you see doing seasonal jobs in the south are expecting farm harvests that they are going back to worth millions of naira per annum. Amassing wealth then will depend on your vision personally. Dantata was an Almanjiri

I did not call anyone names, Almajiri is a pejorative term. I don’t use it.

That said, how did you come about that figure? 20 million Hausa youths?

Anyway. Economic activity is a rather subjective concept. A man trekking from city to city with a wheelbarrow full of vegetables in his hand, is also involved in Economic activity. It’s simply not the kind of activities you will find in a culture that is showing signs of improvement in wealth distribution. Millions of Hausa youths engage in activities so ignoble and plebeian, you don’t find them in any developing society showing seriousness in its wealth creation and distribution.

Hausas have money, yes just a few people. But they also have a lot of people in poverty. The two realities can coexist.

lawani:
Beans, rice, cassava, yams, onions, maize, tomatoes, groundnut oil and palm oil, cattle, poultry, fish form the bulk of what we eat in the south. They have some other things they eat in the North. Most of these things are produced in the country. Eighty percent is far fetched. I will say food imports is not more than twenty percent of consumption if up to that. I don't have the stats. North are not poor. They are just not organized. They have the money but are not reaching for it. Evidence is that they buy more cement than their population. They can feed themselves and there is no reason a country like Sweden or anywhere that is not oil rich in Scandinavia should be richer than Hausa land

Ok make research on any of my claims u think is false. I stand to be corrected.

The fact that they produce these things will not make them rich. Dangote’s refinery, for example, at some point struggled to meet even 50% of Nigeria’s fuel demand. His only saving grace was his level of affluence and his political connections. The north suffers similar situation. They produces these things, yes. But that will not change the fact that they’re the most dependent on food aid from the Western world and local humanitarian organizations.

I will always empathize that a few wealthy individuals does not reflect the actual situation in a society. A society can be wealthy on paper (with high levels of GDP and IGR), have wealthy individuals than their counterparts, produce a lot of wealth, and still be poor. Because that wealth is disproportionately distributed, it is directed mostly towards a few people. Unlike a society that evenly distributes its wealth and resources and no single individual has monopoly of it.

Basic123:
They worship money.
Respect and reference depends on how rich you are.
So they can do anything to have it.Even if its by packaging fake drugs,fake drinks ,pushing drugs etc to have it.
An average person will rather do that than beg!

The problem with your comment is, greed is not exclusive to the Igbo people. For 6 decades Nigeria has been subject to the instincts and will of the north and the SW. in these years Nigeria has experienced arguably the most kakistocratic, corrupt governments a country could possibly have. Nigeria has become synonymous with corruption and criminality. This is not the doing of the Igbo man. If you were better than the Igbos, Nigeria would be proof. Don't you think?

The greedy character and cultures we need to question is the ones that have dominated ASO villa for decades. Not the average criminal selling fake items. When you fix the former, the latter will solve itself.

CodeTemplar:
lies. They have access to FG funds. They cintrol NNPCL. Own refineries. Own strategic farms.

lol. Still poor.

CodeTemplar:
so you finally wwoke up from the slumber. In terms of mega wealthy people, dangote will neutralize the most wealthy 1,000 igbo businessmen.
His people are getting VAT, religious subsidy, agric subsidy and more every year. Can Igbo boast of those?

Dangotes wealth says nothing about his peoples poverty. Dangote is also wealthier than the wealthiest persons in the Scandinavia. That doesn’t mean Hausas are richer than Northern Europeans.

CodeTemplar:
it is a lie from hell. Add what they get from directly mining and selling resources to what thier imams and malams recieve and you have them dwarf the south in allocation.
Over N1 trilion agric intervention also heads to that region. Many foreign NGO are active there also.

So what poverty are we looking at in the north?
Poor people who feed the nation and can block food passage down south are not actually poor.

Not really. They’re still poor. Agriculture in the north is mostly oligopolistic. A few individuals run the sector. Not all northerners are large scale agriculturalists. As such, their individual affluence does not translate to widespread wealth creation because these few individuals only have a few thousands in their workforce, most of whom are probably paid disproportionately compared to the top 1% in the business.

Also, Nigeria still imports a large portion of its food (well over 80% from what I read). Most of what we consume are imported foods, not locally produced. The fact that the north is known for agriculture doesn’t mean they own the food industry. They don’t. That’s why they’re poor.

YesDaddyTill203:
You must be a kid if you think this is the lowest.
Trying to use this as an election gimmick is disgusting and disrespectful to these people going through this hardship.
You are trying to use their problems as a means to your own ends.

Why have things gotten worse since Trump sent in his people to deal with the so-called terrorists?
I suspect a sinister plot is going on here.

You will suspect till eternity, my dear. You provided no proof of any administration in Nigeria’s history that has performed worse than this government in securing the lives and properties of Nigerians. Available data estimates 8000+ deaths in 2023 when Tinubu took office. That number rose to 11,000+ by the end of 2024. So yes, it’s only getting worse under T-bobo.

You have audacity. Fatuously accusing the OP of exploiting on tragedies for political gains. A representative and ambassador to the president, Reno Omokri, came on social media to claim that the rate of unaliving under the current administration is lower than in every single PDP administration. This is obviously false. And this is not a one-time thing. This guy has stepped way out of line countless times to defend his boss. Reno and his ilks continuously play politics with the lives of people and undermined the insecurity crisis the average Nigerian is made to suffer. Anyone who aligns with such person does not have moral ground to accuse others of being political with dreadful situations.

Lastly. The US has nothing to do with terrorism in Africa. Your victimology and false sense of relevance has beclouded your ability to distinguish reality from delusion. There is nobody holding billion-dollar closed-door meetings to discuss how to keep Africa down and unstable. Africans like yourself are Africa’s problem, not the West. Subsaharan Africa is utterly irrelevant globally for the USA to start finding interest in. Whatever resources you think you have can be found elsewhere, most times in larger quantities. Don’t be delusional.

Is it Tinubu that brought Terrorists and Kidnappers Criminals into Nigeria- a question for you ⁉️
Or
Do you think Ruling Nigeria is by 👄 and sitting in your Comfort Zone or dramatizing on Social Media ?

If you could go back in time to 2014. This exact same thing could be said to Tinubu.
