An idiotic comment right here. Can't continue with this conversation.

You better not. I will expose your hating loser self. Kachinfo!

Folks need to stop responding to these abokis: there is no basis for comparison. They should be compared to Mali, Chad and Niger. Far too backward and arrogant it. You cannot help a man married to poverty. Please close the loop on this thread.

AnanseK:
The truth is you are empty headed chest beaters , and you love to insult because you cannot reason.

If some groups are backwards and beggars who are dragging your small beautiful enclave backwards the best thing is to abandon coming to live in a backward environment.

When you leave I am sure the north will also expect their beggars and megurds back from the east.

The rest will be negotiation on how we relate as two different nations.

Remember to ensure that all your ethnic group who on a daily bases are insulting and blaming the north move out.

Arrangements can be made for visas later, there is no quarrel, just for you to get what you want.

They are backward in intellect for sure(as your multiple posts prove), but one can still take their money. Why not?

xcabczyxabczzzz:
Being a loyal slave to your slave masters I see.

No, just rejecting bad belle. Like Fela said, suffer dey daburu head. You guys sit in your shithole and pass snarky comments. Sufferhead people. Ask yourself, are they not your master too. Does your whole first family not go there for treatment. YEYE

xcabczyxabczzzz:
How e take concern us, are they contributing anything to our economy right now?

They are giving funds to help your hospital systems, you ungrateful clown.

AnanseK:
You haven’t answered the question, perhaps you don’t have a share of that brain. Read my comments again. What are millions of your kinsmen doing in the backward north? Please go.

They are doing business, you slowpoke. Westerners come to the North for business too, does that mean they don't have better homes? Business takes you everywhere, you clown. Needing to spell this out to you proves my point: low human capital in the North.

Gabkosh:
Whay do igbos produce?

Human capital, which is perhaps the most important factor of production and also lacking in Northerners.

AnanseK:
When the millions of Igbos in Kano and Kaduna move back from the backward North to their paradise in the East we will find the solution.

It will be easy for Nigeria to disintegrate but you chest beaters will always wear red caps and bright colored jumpers to come begging the emirs and the northern Governors when ever you are asked to go back to your well developed paradise in the Biafran enclave.

No body wants you, please go if you’re serious about disintegration. Tell your Ministers and Federal employees university lectures , doctors and other healthcare workers to resign . It is not rocket science, but we know it’s all empty threats, you are the ones hanging on. Please go! No war no trouble in this, it is very simple.

We can always negotiate how the pay you the costs of your assets in the North and other parts of Nigeria and Abuja.

You guys can have the assets, but your destructive nature would not let you keep it for long. Again, the true asset is in the brain.

Dtribeless:
Mr Arewa, when folks like me say the North is "behind", we don't mean in infrastructure; we mean behind in the mindset needed to thrive in today's world. The region, despite ruling the country for many years, has underachieved in human capital, which is far too compulsory for development. The South has more human capital than the North. For example, in healthcare, if the North and South were to divide, the South would have more in per capita healthcare providers than the North. In Finance, the South has more talent, as the banking workforce in Nigeria clearly displays. And there is no shortage of labor as the numbers are there (at least 80MM), plus there's access to the sea, which the North will die for. A lot of people talk of Oil, but access to the sea is the biggest price. Fine, the North has agriculture; however, the South can keep buying as they do right now.

The issue, in my opinion, as I don't think Southerners are innately more intelligent than Northerners: the North is religiously fatalistic. They tend to impose their version of God; no matter how objectionable "outsiders" find it. This is not recipe for growth anywhere. Let us compare Norway to Saudi Arabia. Both have significantly high Oil revenues; Saudi Arabia more than Norway. However, Norway is an open society, having a King but only in name. Norwegians have a far higher quality of life than Saudi Arabia can ever dream of. How does Norway differ from the also largely homogeneous Saudi Arabia? Sheer openness and tolerance, regardless of gender, at least within their own society. Like Saudi Arabia and Gulf states, but without enough money and interest from international capital, the North is also un-open and far more behind in all human indices. When some cartoonist scribbles in France, "fellow Nigerians" are brutalized in northern Nigeria. That is entirely unacceptable -- call it One Nigeria or whatever. Crime might be the same but motivation can make crime even more pungent.

What I propose is a confederation of States, where we send some funds (10% or so) to the center for loose representation and such, but each region governs itself. Every Nigerian can still move around move across all confederating regions, as we should keep a skeleton of the current Federal Police and Army to provide joint oversight, but everyone will act according to the rules of each region (up to the point where it violates Human Rights). That means each region can determine the criteria for educational placement, employment, housing, business governance etc. If you have a better way forward, please let me know. This current arrangement cannot last much longer. Global events like epidemics can expose weaknesses in societal structures. Remember what started the Arab spring. We should not wait for that and should reach workable arrangements like fellow Africans (brothers in the larger sense).

It's not blame. It's like being shackled to a corpse.

DanArrewa:
you think I will my time reading this long garbage?? Stop deceiving yourselves

The south east is the most backward region in Nigeria...

It's garbage to illiterates. The SE probably has the most professionals in the diaspora.

DanArrewa:
You guys have been blaming the north since 1970 for the Underdevelopment hitting your region... Instead of holding your leaders accountable

Mind you, I am not an Igbo person. I am from Plateau state.

Most private universities in Nigeria are Pentecostal Christian based.

We all know that Yorubas dominate Pentecostal Christianity in Nigeria, so where do u expect all the Pentecostal varsities to be cited?

Most Middlebelt/Northern christians are orthodox Christians. Most Igbos are Catholics/Anglican. It is Nigerdeltans that have a strong Pentecostal population like Yorubas.

Schools/businesses are in the SW because we are tolerant. A Yoruba brother/sister cannot incite me against an Igbo/hausa person just because of their tribe. Our culture will ask such to "park well". It's our liberalism that's paying off. Nothing more: we are not smarter or wiser, we tolerate. That's all!

Barbilius:
Wishful thinking. Check the list of notable graduates from those institutions (the ones who can boast of it just yet) and see if they won't be mostly Yorubas still. And they can't crash, hell Covenant even has foreign students and a university like Abuab is secular and thus Muslims Yorubas school there.

Without Igbos everything will crash they keep saying, but they don't stay and build their homes. Every damn Ndubusi wants to come to Lagos/SW. We are tolerant that's why our region will growing while others look on in intolerance.

Nowenuse:
See, I am from the Middlebelt and I lived much of my life in the SS. So, to an extent I can speak on behalf of both regions.

I know how many of my friends, relatives, neighbors, classmates went to these private schools in Yorubaland.

Most of these private schools in the SW are Christian based and tied to a religious denomination.
Apart from Cele church, Aladura & CAC can u mention one Yoruba dominated church that the population of Yorubas in that church outnumber the population of Non-Yorubas?

How many Yoruba Christians are in Nigeria compared to Igbos, Nigerdeltans & Middlebelters put together?

I attended both of my brothers matriculations & convocation and they usually give us a list of the names of all the convocating/matriculating students.

I take surveys of these names and they are something like 35% Yoruba, 35% Igbo, 20% Nigerdeltans and 10% Middlebelters.

Without Non-Yorubas, all these universities in the SW will crash!

Everything will crash without Igbos, yet, Igbos, uninvited, show up everywhere. If you made us, please make yourself. YEYE dey smell. Igbos have the MOST to lose if Nigeria breaks up. The Exodus will be a sight to behold.

NO

Nowenuse:
I strongly disagree with this.

70% of the students in Private christian Yoruba universities are Igbos, Nigerdeltans & Middlebelters.

My younger brother is in Landmark varsity and my senior bro finished from Covenant.

Why are these people not in Igbo universities? Have you ever asked yourself that?

The Spanish Influenza Epidemic of 1918 was caused by vaccinations---E. McBean (Swine Flu Expose)
http://www.whale.to/vaccine/sf.html
--
http://www.whale.to/vaccine/sf1.html
I WAS AN ON-THE-SPOT OBSERVER OF THE 1918 INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC

All the doctors and people who were living at the time of the 1918 Spanish Influenza epidemic say it was the most terrible disease the world has ever had. Strong men, hale and hearty, one day would be dead the next. The disease had the characteristics of the black death added to typhoid, diphtheria, pneumonia, smallpox, paralysis and all the diseases the people had been vaccinated with immediately following World War 1. Practically the entire population had been injected "seeded" with a dozen or more diseases — or toxic serums. [/b]When all those doctor-made diseases started breaking out all at once it was tragic.

That pandemic dragged on for two years, kept alive with the addition of more poison drugs administered by the doctors who tried to suppress the symptoms. As far as I could find out, the flu hit only the vaccinated. [b]Those who had refused the shots escaped the flu. My family had refused all the vaccinations so we remained well all the time. We knew from the health teachings of Graham, Trail, Tilden and others, that people cannot contaminate the body with poisons without causing disease.

When the flu was at its peak, all the stores were closed as well as the schools, businesses — even the hospital, as the doctors and nurses had been vaccinated too and were down with the flu. No one was on the streets. It was like a ghost town. We seemed to be the only family which didn’t get the flu; so my parents went from house to house doing what they could to look after the sick, as it was impossible to get a doctor then. If it were possible for germs, bacteria, virus, or bacilli to cause disease, they had plenty of opportunity to attack my parents when they were spending many hours a day in the sick rooms. But they didn’t get the flu and they didn’t bring any germs home to attack us children and cause anything. None of our family had the flu — not even a sniffle— and it was in the winter with deep snow on the ground.

When I see people cringe when someone near them sneezes or coughs, I wonder how long it will take them to find out that they can’t catch it — whatever it is. The only way they can get a disease is to develop it themselves by wrong eating, drinking, smoking or doing some other things which cause internal poisoning and lowered vitality. All diseases are preventable and most of them are cureable with the right methods, not known to medical doctors, and not all drugless doctors know them either.

It has been said that the 1918 flu epidemic killed 20,000,000 people throughout the world. But, actually, the doctors killed them with their crude and deadly treatments and drugs. This is a harsh accusation but it is nevertheless true, judging by the success of the drugless doctors in comparison with that of the medical doctors.

While the medical men and medical hospitals were losing 33% of their flu cases, the non-medical hospitals such as BATTLE CREEK, KELLOGG and MACFADDEN’S HEALTH-RESTORIUM were getting almost 100% healings with their water cure, baths, enemas, etc., fasting and certain other simple healing methods, followed by carefully worked out diets of natural foods. One health doctor didn’t lose a patient in eight years. The very successful health treatment of one of those drugless doctors who didn’t lose any patients will be given in the other part of this book, titled VACCINATION CONDEMNED, to be published a little later.

If the medical doctors had been as advanced as the drugless doctors, there would not have been those 20 million deaths from the medical flu treatment.

There was seven times more disease among the vaccinated soldiers than among the unvaccinated civilians, and the diseases were those they had been vaccinated against. [/b]One soldier who had returned from overseas in 1912 told me that the army hospitals were filled with cases of infantile paralysis and he wondered why grown men should have an infant disease. [b]Now, we know that paralysis is a common after-effect of vaccine poisoning. Those at home didn’t get the paralysis until after the world-wide vaccination campaign in 1918.

It's normal for every vaccine to do that, you illiterate. Vaccines are neutered versions of the real deal, so folks with compromised immunity will have issues. Because of this 0.01 percent, should we save them and ignore the 99.99 percent. It's this poor thinking that is setting Africa backward, poor leadership is only the symptom. To lead fools, you must resort to foolish methods -- cue Buhari.

GenBuhari:
Precisely!
A gift for Nigeria but paid to and controlled by UN CoVid19 Fund.

Likely to fund vaccines that may likely do us more harm.

Accept a gift from the devil and he would eswant your life in exchange.

Be aware of Greek gifts gives few milion in front of cameras but steals billions and trillions behind the scenes.

Tell us the last vaccine that did you harm? MUMU everywhere

Kolping:
This Greek gift from the EU is gradually setting the stage for the forced mandatory vaccination of Nigerians down the line. The cure will be more deadly than the so-called virus.

Edit: Seems some others here have the same thoughts as mine.

Robert F. Kennedy Lists Vaccine Crimes Committed By Globalist Bill Gates and WHO

Read this book: The New Confessions of an Economic Hitman by John Perkins.
It is an exposé on how the US and other world powers uses the CIA, IMF and other agencies to influence the politics and economy of poor/developing countries.

The world is a jungle (we are animals after all). If you don't stand strong, you will be taken. This is normal, even within Nigeria. Wake up!

Commentor:
I know at least 3 that are undocumented.

But if they work, they probably use someone's documents. There's usually a split on these kind of money. Besides, why do Nigerians care if someone is receiving or not receiving NGN 500k 6000 miles away?

Commentor:
IRS means tax.

Undocumented workers would get nada.

Well, why do you care? Most Nigerians in the US are not undocumented. They don't have Green Cards but are documented in some form.

[quote author=Simplyleo post=88416912]Of the 250MM, some are kids so depend on their parents and don't work and don't file taxes; some are retired and no longer work; some have decided not to work and are below the poverty level so don't file taxes. Am I getting close to the 80 million now? The US government does not promise (and pass bills) then not perform. That's what 3rd world governments do.

Simplyleo:
Really?

Keep deceiving yourselves.

What's the deception? The IRS already sends bigger checks in tax returns. This is way less than the average tax return. In fact, US taxpayers expect a second leg and the House is already in discussion.

babyfaceafrica:
DSTV will simply stop showing it in Nigeria.


If dstv refuses to sell the rights to local channels at affordable prices, please let them stop showing it... Simple!!... In as much as I love football, monopoly is bad!!

It's not monopoly; DSTV paid for it. To be exclusive, they pay more. That's how football rights work everywhere. One station monopolizes a country or region. The FA is not going to bargain with every tom, dick and harry, so they choose major players only. In the whole of the American market, only NBC has the rights to show it. The administration is showing illiteracy and lack of exposure per usual. Please don't support this nonsense policy.

Zooposki:
Lol. I’m a female. I don’t like football nor watch it.

Oh yeah, how considerate? I hope he bans female care materials too.

tinsel:
Read well. If the English premiership decides that the multichoice monopoly will continue, then premiership will.be banned from showing in Nigeria. It is against the law of the land. The best decision ever by Buhari.

DSTV will simply stop showing it in Nigeria. The English FA owns and sells the right to whomever. The idiotic president and Liar can't figure that out -- too complex. Tinsel, take the tin foil off

You guys love football so much. Why can’t you develop your local league? I don’t get it.

Says a man chatting on local internet.

The Sani story seems ridiculous on the surface: Did the person trying to bribe the EFCC head through Shehu Sani then turn around and report his intended bribe to the EFCC? It seems counter intuitive but but.....
Sani had some tweets critical of this jungle administration before he was arrested a few days later. I wouldn't put this act beyond this thin-skinned, incompetent administration.

EkoIle1:
Though this is a bogus story, but so freeking what?

You clowns realy need to get a damn life.

Btw, I heard the jeeps fit drive inside water and fire rockets.

Dumbos. Lmao

If the reports are true then you (and other similar thinking Nigerians) are the reason the country is so backward. Why would a poor African state spend over a million dollars on cars for ex-governors? The wants of Nigerians and their reasoning don't align; you are a clear example.

Racoon:
There may be no evidence Mr.Senator but what about
Qasem Soleimani previously documented evidence of atrocious activities against US citizens, embassy and interests?

Not enough to justify the killings. International law (not often respected by the Big Boys) require imminence.
