Nice observations to this writer!



I can relate with what the OP is saying and I tell you from experience that the southern elites in most cases obstruct development or quality amenities allocated to them for selfish short lived gains.
The excuse that the reason facilities are better up North is because the North have ruled longer than other regions doesnt hold water. Federal character entails that all regions are represented at the center at every point in time. So if your representatives care about you then there ought be facilities on ground at least in the areas/sectors occupied previously or presently by a southerner in the south.

A guy was contracted by the government to upgrade and digitize a community secondary school in a remote community in Rivers state.The contract was to the tune of approximately 22 million naira, so you can imagine what that could do for a village school. The contract was from Abuja (Federal) so the contractor of Hausa descent, purchased the needed items (computers and electronic gadgets) and came down to Port Harcourt to execute the contract. He paid a ferry (as you need to cross a river to get to this community) and his gadgets where ferried across to the community. On getting to the community with his technicians to start installation, a group of boys accosted his team and apprehended him and seized his consignment. He explained to them what he was about to do and that the community was to be better off for it but they would not listen and insisted that he follows them to their rulers place. He went with them to see their Chief with the expectation that he would be reasonable and happy about what they have come to do. The Chief flared when they got to his house, he said why would the contractor be an Hausa man? ''so you collect money for contract and use only a quarter to execute the contract he said, go bring the contract paper''. All his explanations that all was well and that the contract is been executed with quality materials fell on deaf ear. When the contractor saw that those guys were not willing to release the gadgets, he pleaded with them that the contract paper was in his hotel room and that he would go get it.
The contractor a newbie in the game did not really understand their rationale and anger towards him, he thought maybe the reason they act like this is because of the Wururu attitudes of most Nigerian contractors, may be they really care that I do a good work?
The contractor picked the contract letter from his hotel room and was about returning to the community when a second thought crossed his mind. He went to a business center and reduced the figure on the contract and then rushed back to the community with the altered document.
The new document carried 15 million naira. The Chief on seeing the contract letter said he should go and bring the 15 million and forget the project, to which the contractor replied that only part of the money has been paid, and the balance was subject to the project completion and certification by the community. He also said that he had spent the initial funds to purchase the gadgets in their custody and there will be no way to come by 15 million naira. After much rigmarole the Chief said he should go and raise 7 million naira which he agreed to, but the contractors concern was on the certification and signing of his papers by the community authorities so that he could get his balance. The Chief said that should recover the money by selling the gadgets and that signing his papers is a none issue and that he would get the appropriate guys to sign the paper.
They arranged some of the gadgets and the Chief and community people took pictures in turns and made it seem like the gadgets had been fitted in the schools. The guys completion papers was signed afterwards and all the gadgets were released to him. Chief followed him to PH city with 4 boys to collect the money. He went to his bank, withdrew 7 million naira and gave to the Chief.
He went to Ogbunabali in PH afterwards and sold the gadgets for some discount. He made a fortune from this contract, but he was really worried about the attitudes of the southern elders...he would still have made profit if he had executed the contract.

The contractor said he executed contracts to upgrade, digitize schools in different communities in the North without problems or this kind of saboteurish behavior. So next time you see a good infrastructure in the North its because their ''village Chief'' did not demand for half the contract money instead of the project.

There are a million and one cases like this in PH for instance. Community people did not allow Amaechi to rehabilitate some terrible roads in like ''pure water Rumuodara area'' for instance,till he paid them some outrageous amount of money which he refused to pay. Eze gbaka gbaka wanted some amount of money before the road along Woji would be constructed; infact work started on that road not long after he died.
So before you blame the Northerners for all your woes, be aware that you (Southerners) are your own enemies. Southerners are very selfish and suffer from temporal myopia, their clarity decreases with distance (they dont see beyond their nose) and would sabotage for immediate gains the infrastructures on which their quality of lives depend on.

MissGdope:
then move to argentina. who's holding you?

[b]No African country should practice democracy. All it does is draw us backward. I stand to be corrected but Nigeria enjoyed her best period of sustained growth in d military era. All this rule of law mumbo jumbo are just terms that they use to oppress the poor. someone diverted money that's meant for the public good into his private pockets(and shares it with his cronies). there are evidence to this effect. The people he shared these monies with made confessional statements(and many are even offering to return what they took) What more do we want before pronouncing him guilty? This same id**t will hire some brilliant but hungry lawyers to come and defend him in court and then endless injunctions and case postponement starts. At the end of d day, the case will die while a man who stole baby formula for his new born baby will be summarily tried, convicted and sentenced to jail. And u say the law is fair? Biko let's scrap this democracy thing. It ain't working. They say we got a say about who rules us in a democracy but do we really have any say when from the councillors to the presidency, elections are rigged and d "elected" leaders can't be held accountable as they automatically evolve to demigods once "elected" [/b]
