his 8years in power saw development we had our first lunch to GSM, bankers was remodel, NEPA was re commission Nigeria integrity was high, jobs was available, we had great little stability, we have visions,goals, inquote what remodeling of infrastructure we had more millionaires than ever we had smart people in office not someone that scored 10 in jamb as directors we had educated police men not anyhow police office, we had respect of lives and value. Tell me what has the North achieved in Nigeria

privatization will condemn all the silly half baked points you made!

Buhari's administration had something to show to Nigerians in 2019 as their 4 years achievements.
They will have hundred times more things to show Nigerians as their achievements come 2023.

Even In Your land, Buhari's APC have hundreds of achievements including multi billion naira ultra modern highways, bridges, interchanges, airports, seaports, railway lines, power projects, refineries (the one in Ohaji already completed & producing), agricultural projects, industrial parks & help to Igbo businesses to make them global players today (Innoson, Anammco, Choscaris, Air Peace, Oliserve just to name a few) & Ziks Mausoleum etc to show Igbo electorates as their achievements for 8 years.

Where is are Igbos and Yorubas who run PDP & government achievements in Nigeria or Igboland for 16 years they were in charge?

For the past 8 years your tribe & diabolic PDP have no logical, clear nor cohorent intelligent strategy to win back power at the centre or at least get ourselves back into the mainstream of Nigeria's politics.

You are busy doping yourselves with infantile idiocy, making yourselves a stench in the nostrils of other Nigerians with your juvenile insults, abuses & swearings that smacks of lack of home training.

Keep your empty rants...

The North leads...while you keep losing and been frustrated

Bonesbreaker:
who caused it you guys has been in power since the creation of Nigeria so whose fault is it why? What happened? Who messed up the system

You still need to be educated about the reason??

In the whole 8years of OBJ's administration he did not see a single Hausa/Fulani northerner worthy of appointment as Service Chief, IGP or DG (DSS). Victor Malu, Martin Luther Agwai, Jonah Wuyep, Luka Yusuf, Ibrahim Ogehi, then IGP Tafa Balogun, Musliu Smith, Sunday Ehindero, Mike Okiro up to the DG (DSS) Col. Aare (rtd), were his selected appointees to oversee our security architecture.

Where appointments were to be made from Kano or Sokoto (whole seat of Chaliphate) he would look for the Adamu Baikis, the Solomon Matankaris who are indegenous Christians of the area. If Hausas/Fulanis complained, Obj’s response was, “all the appointees were your people, brothers from the North”. Of course they were; he even used sme tactics to play a very dangerous divide and rule politics with northerners; his arrow - headmen, Jerry Gana & Solomon Lar were part and parcel of the Villa cabals, members of his kitchen cabinet who determined most appointment made by the government Agencies. Google all the very sensitive position then, there was no single Hausa or Fulani there. CBN, Joseph Sanusi later Soludo. Custom Buba Gyan, NNPC Edmund Dakoru, to mention just a few.

Never forget that OBJ flushed out more than 500 soldiers of Northern extraction, from the ranks of Major and above, who held political appointments during the past military administrations, including orderlies and ADCs. Those who survived his hammer, like Bamalli Nuhu were assembled and bombed in the mountainous region; between Benue and Cross River States.

Obasanjo’s civil service reform were mainly targeted at northerners who mostly, (80%) became victims; from NEPA,Maritime, NPA and Aviation etc. Northerners were major casualties. Similarly all the replacements that followed were from his kiths and kins, and his god sons.

Prior to 1999, more than 15 international airlines operate or had their routes to Kano, but Obasanjo made sure he decimated that to only 3 before he left. Very very fresh in our memories is how he stylishly killed all the Northern textiles, groundnuts and cotton pyramids as well as many other agronomic economies; particularly the poultry using the hoax claim of “birds flu” conspiracy that obliterated all major players in the sector, from northern region. He also deliberately opened our boarders for the importation of all kinds of agricultural goods, which tactically killed virtually all local industries in Kano, Kaduna, Gusau to mention just a few. He stated and ensured DIC and Peugeot and Steyr plants became comatose.virtually all critical northern enterprises were put out of business with deadly attendant consequences.

For example, in Kano alone there were more than 5000 factories / industries located in Challawa, Bompai and Sharada industrial estates. Before Obj’s tenure ended he made sure 80% of those factories folded up, and the remaining 20% were operating at half level, below minimal capacities due to his well designed, well executed, skewed economic policies.

Remember the housing, monetization and privatisation policies he used our people to execute? This program was conceptualised and well executed to basically empower his kiths and Kins to owned choice properties in Abuja and Lagos. The privatisation was used to catapult cronies and surrogates, as well as God sons, into multi-billionaires. People like Mike Adenuga, Fola Adeola, Jimoh Ibrahim, Jim Ovia, Chris and the Andy Ubahs, to mention just a few.

Most of these people were, prior to 1999, using night buses to & fro Lagos/Abuja. Incidentally within a span of short period, all were flying private jets,while the country, North in particular was rapidly sliding backwards. One can continue on and on; why the north and northerners tolerated all that, only God knows.

The current clamor for self determination by some states from previous regions are nothing but blackmails that, to me, are dead on arrival. Rather than experiencing the Obj treatment again, it suffices if every single region go its separate way. The north can not afford to make the 1999 blunder again. Democracy is a game of numbers; anybody who thinks he/she is competent to lead us should come out and contest. The north is not ready to concede to any blackmail.


Hope it is now clear to you?

Are you surprised?

We were far more productive in 1980 than we are today

In 1980 the key reasons for economic growth were are as follows:

1) We were a net exporter of refined petroleum products. Today we import all our refined petroleum products.

2) We rode in locally assembled cars, buses and trucks. Peugeot cars in Kaduna and Volkswagen cars in Lagos.

Leyland in Ibadan and ANAMCO in Enugu produced our buses and trucks.

Steyr at Bauchi producing our Agricultural tractors.

And it was not just Assembly, we were producing many of the components.

Vono products in Lagos producing the seats.

Exide in Ibadan producing the batteries, not just for Nigeria but for the entire West Africa.

Isoglass and TSG in Ibadan producing the windshields.

Ferodo in Ibadan producing the brake pads and discs

Tyres produced by Dunlop in Lagos and Mitchelin in Portharcourt.

And I mean tyres produced from rubber plantations located in Ogun and Rivers State.

3) We were listening to Radio and watching television sets assembled in Ibadan by Sanyo.

4) We were using refrigerators, freezers and Airconditioners produced by Thermocool and Debo.

5) We were putting on clothes produced from the UNTL textile mills in Kaduna and Chellarams in Lagos.

Not from imported cotton but from cotton grown in Nigeria.

6) Our water was running through pipes produced by Kwalipipe in Kano and Duraplast in Lagos .

7) Our toilets were fitted with WC produced at Kano and Abeokuta.

We were cooking with LPG gas stored inside gas cylinders produced at the NGC factory in Ibadan.

9) Our electricity was flowing through cables produced by the Nigerian wire and Cable, Ibadan, NOCACO in Kaduna and Kablemetal in Lagos and Portharcourt.

10) We had Bata and Lennards producing the shoes we were putting on

Not from imported leather but from locally tanned leather at Kaduna.

11) We were mainly flying our airways, the Nigeria Airways, to most places in the world.

The Airways was about the biggest in Africa at that time.

12) Most of the food we ate were being grown or produced in Nigeria.

We were producing all of the above and more in 1980

Today, we import almost everything.

There lies the source of the terrible exchange rate we are experiencing today and everybody reading this has a critical role to play in reversing this very UGLY trend.

We have been talking about these problems and more for ages...

It is not enough for us to complain about the exchange rate or point out what others are not doing or are failing to do, the key question is what are we producing or what are we planning to produce?

Going forward, it's time to ponder and think of the way forward before it's TOO LATE.

What solutions do you have in mind?

You don finish? North is the parasite.

[/s]75% of  government spending is connered by Southerners via the domination of salary earning, contracts, projects, bail outs and other interventions. Trade and industries are dominated by Southerners who have easy access to multi billion credit facilities courtesy their domination of state financial structure and instruments and institutions. 


Every ministry is dominated by them. All our markets are monopolized by them due to their control of capital that enable them to finance business and take more risk due to ease of acces to money. They conrol their markets by regular disruptuons of our businesses officially and by direct frequent violence unofficially. Their control of and easy access to liquidity enable them to be more enerprising business wise. They buy our goods cheap and sell theirs exorbitantly.


To preserve the exploitative status quo they spread false verson of the reality. They centralize oil as the main source of wealth so that our attention will be far away from other sources of wealth they dominate.

Oil is less than 10% of  Nigeria's GDP. They tell us we are the parasite and we are lazy and we are uneducated to instil a sense of guilt, self hate and inadequacy in us. We swallow all these falsehood uncritcally because we made our source of daily information their media and books. They over concentrate on our weaknesses and ignore almost completely their own weaknesses. An average Southerner having mild cold will almost by default blame it on Northerners and will not lack northerners who "speak the truth" to agree with him.


How can uneducated people have multitude of unemployed graduates? How can lazy people be producig the food of the nation? Why do millions of Southerners troop to the poor parasitic North and refuse leave?

It is always clear....nairaland is using Christians that hate muslims to catch cruise with ridiculous anti taliban propaganda. Where were they when muslims are been killed unjustly in Palastine? Of a sudden you have turned to an analyst of Afghan on every aspect

Islamophobia is on the rise Southerners will masturbate NEWS like this always, after they will claim they are smart

Bitterness,hatred,and frustration is their major reason for existence

Somebody posted this in order to berate Afghanistan government.
You accused Taliban of not allowing females to go to school. Now that they are going to school, you still accused them of separating their seats in the classroom.
You can not used your religion as a yardstick to judge Islam. You can only learn from Islam so as to live a better life. Islam is free from free mixing of matured male and female. That is the standard of Islam.

While there, they subject themselves completely to Sharia laws & Islamic injunctions that govern these countries.
They even learn Arabic to be able to communicate effectively.
But here in Nigeria that is governed by laws & a constitution that is based on the Christian CANONICAL laws...;
here in Nigeria that uses for all its official documents, schedules & civil observances the GREGORIAN calendar named after Pope Gregory XIII, who issued the papal bull Inter gravissimas in 1582, announcing calendar reforms for all of Catholic Christiandom which gave birth to the Gregorian calendar in use today also called the Western or Christian calendar...;
they want to die whenever they see Arabic inscription on anything. They are so afraid of Islamization & are all running away to the Middle East to escape been Islamized by Buhari.

Arewa shall not be a tribal nation or a theocratic dogmatists nation like Biafra or Odua. Arewa is a modern nation of nations were Hausa, Fulani, Angas, Yoruba, Igbo, Jarawa, Kanuri, Nupe, white men, yellow men and black men coexist.
Arewa is not a crusader nation like Biafra where those who do not practice the state religion will be killed and chased out.
Arewa Republic is not ethnocentric like Odua where if a man does not bear Yoruba name is seen as a half human to be subjected to descrimination and set to be killed by elite sponsored tribal terrorists like Odua or cursed to die in the Lagoon by a tribal chief
That is why we have half-Yoruba man as the Emir of Kano, the biggestst Kingdom in Hausaland. That is why Arewa was led in war during the Civil War by an Angas Christian, Yakubu Gowon.

That is why the xenophobic tribalists of the west and the end time black crusaders of the east hate us and are doing their best to divide us and conquer. Come what may, we shall remain the richest in terms of resources and the largest in terms of population in Africa, Arewa is the heart of Africa. This is why the malevolent envious ones want to see it in chaos. We shall surmout the current troubles and emerge strong. We are the Phoenix that always emerges renewed from the ashes of conflagration.
We have demonstrated our capacity to uphold minority rights despite the constants instigations of the minority by the tribo-religious extremists of the South. We shall in our independent nation secure human rights, religious freedom, minority rights, cultural autonomy and we shall efface the faces of induced terrorists. Let the bakwarward tribalists and neo-crusaders die of envy. It is a quetion of time and men of my vision to take over leadership. It is written and shall it be. #Hausa Up to the Seventies we were the richest people in Africa. As the central government grows and  takes control of resources our wealth progressively dwindles. As the southerners intensify drums of hate and aggression we draw back to give peace, that is never forthcoming, a chance.

As for you cynics that have no value to add in the dilemma except vituperation, and abuses, we know that is the substance they are made up of. No qualms whatsoever! you don’t expect fragrance from feces.

The North is far bigger in land mass & population than the South.
It has the highest number of states & local governments.
The North has some of the most powerful governors, senators, federal appointees, politicians both serving & retired in Nigeria.
The North also has the richest men & biggest captains of industry in Nigeria.
It has the highest number of military Generals both serving & retired.
The North equally has its fair share of reknown & accomplished academics in Nigeria & abroad in foreign universities.
It has reknown religious scholars & fiery clerics as well as its fair share of unrepentant religious fundamentalists, radicals, hoodlums, criminals & terrorists.
Inspite of all these, watch that whatever positions are zoned to them come 2023, they will choose, present & support their candidate seamlessly with less or no friction, rancour, dirty fight in public or the pages of newspapers & without assassinating each other. They understand politics & leadership. It's no coincidence therefore, that they have what they have. Islam is what regulates them and make them peaceful and never care to address the dirty lies, slander and insults from southerners online.
But you see this presidency of Nigeria Southerners are threatening everybody that they must have come 2023;
this 2023 presidency useless Southern governors & politicians are galivanting up & down insisting they must have -- governors & politicians whose only idea of governance is to issue press statements every month on Fulani herdsmen, cattle grazing & 2023 presidency to distract their gullible state citizens from the resources & allocations of their states they have stolen with nothing to show for it;
you will see how these Southern governors & greedy power drunk Southern politicians will kill & destroy each other just to pick & present one presidential candidate.
Watch how they will burn down the South with insecurity on the eve of 2023 as all these militias, unknown gunmen, Amotekun, Ebube Agu, ESN, OPC, Cult gangs, the various states police & vigilantes in the South will get new sponsors in these Southern governors & politicians as well as new sophisticated weapons from them as they jostle to eliminate each other & weaken the political base of their opponents to be able to pick the presidential ticket for themselves.
The sad shame however is that after destroying themselves, The Southern homeland, wasting the resources of Southern states & the lives of Southern misguided youths just to pick a presidential ticket, they will still turn back & blame the North for the destruction their unbridled greed for power for selfish ends brought on the South.
You see this Southern presidential agitations...
Well, enough said already!

I love the Hausa/Fulani academics & scholars!
They don't open their mouths anyhow in petty ITK 'foolish wiseness of the agricultural fowl' if i may borrow Zebrudaya's patented lines.
When they write, it's mostly in calculated response to misconstrued perceptions, provide additional lights on national issues or to state their own side of the story.
And when you read them, you will read knowledge, wisdom & invaluable insights.
But you see the academics & scholars from the South & some part of the Middle Belt.
They have opinions on every issue no matter how trivial.
When you read them, you can't mistake the bigotry, concieted arrogance & incitement to foolishness to their people hidden openly in their mischief they call opinion.
Yet, the South wonder aloud why with all thier vaunted intelligence, they are nowhere near the North in cohesiveness, aggregation of ideas, effective planning & organization.

THE SPAT OVER VAT: THE WRANGLING BETWEEN THIEVES AND CONFUSED VICTIMS
No single person from the north has written anything of practical import concerning the VAT battle between Southern states and Northern states.
All we have are discordant exclamations and mundane tirades of what is VAT and its history in Nigeria. What is to be done is entirely missing from the misdirected Northern narrative.

It is clear that after systematically shifting all development and productive factors to the South, the North is at the mercy of the South. While the North has the majority in consumer population who are the final bearer of the burden of VAT, the South has taken over the manufacture and other VATable services like import and export. It is only natural for the South to insist on states to retain VAT money which in reality both the Southern and Northern consumers paid for. The Northern leaders are armed and confused and their reactionary pseudointellectuals have nothing rational for attenuation of the danger threatening to further deflate the Northern economy interest. Northern traders and their goods were burnt and chased out of the South withing reciprocal response from the North. Southern terrorist received trillions as amnesty, but Northern terrorists were denied a farthing. Northern herders are denied pasture in the South in the name of a new fangled policy of ban on open grazing, while Southern drug dealers, abductors of children, gun suppliers, substandard and over prized goods retailers are having a field day in the North. And now they want receive all the VAT revenue of which in reality is paid for by all citizens across the country, besides media and physical aggression in the bid to wrest political power permanently mindless of democratic norms. What shall we say about the frontline VAT issue?

The South has masked the true nature of VAT and claimed its benefit to themselves. They highlight the collection centre, mainly the Southern states, and eclipse the source, the individual consumers all over the country. Under this dicey situation the North has two options and it must be ready to stand up to blackmail and threats by the South for whichever option they choose to go by.
First, the North should either make VAT collectable at the sources of consumers based on state of origin or;
The North should think outside of the box and change the battle field entirely. If the South insists on VAT being shared based on collection centres, the North can take an entirely a different course of action to neutralise the grasping effectiveness of the collection centres. Under the reality of Southern leaders( especially Obasanjo in his tenure) induced collapse of manufacturing industries and lack of ports to charge for import and export, the North should insist on turning their region into a global free trade zone that will enable them to contract trade, import and export, with every nation of the world without restrictions in the name of protecting Nigerian manufacturers and service providers. This will definitely free the North from the central government's imposed economic blockade that left the North with no option beyond buying substandard and counterfeited goods at hyperinflation prices. This will certainly jigger the South as the VAT theft is disturbing the North at present. To this, the North should target heavy taxes and levies over Southern goods and traders to economically rid its markets from the constriction of Southern economic marauding. International traders with genuine and affordable products, to be marketed and sold by Northerners themselves in partnership with the rest of the world, are to be invited. If the South adopts The Prince as their guide book, the North must seek refuge in the Art of War and Forty Eight Laws of power!
However, I am aware these suggestions of courses of action may meet with impediments from within. The North is bereft of leaders with the moral muscle and political will to put through with anything the Southern leaders are not pleased with. Since the death of Sardauna, it has been one retreat after the other and the South has been capitalising on that. I am equally aware that the Northern leaders adopt their give and give attitude towards the South because they have been blackmailed. Like the Southern leaders, they have looted and stashed away billions; but unlike the Southern leaders, the Northern leaders are not in control of their booty. The banks and other financial institutions in which, and through which, leaders of both divides launder their scoop is in the total control of the Southerners. So, the fear of selective targetted exposure and personal loss renders the Northern leaders too fickle and diffident to put up a robust fight and win. Moreover, as weak and ineffectual as the Northern leaders are, they could have been forced to action were the other informed Northern classes, like the intellectuals and business class up to their mettle.
But are the intellectuals dedicated and committed enough to force courage and action down the throats of their compromised Northern leaders? This timid and fawning class has lost all ingredients that makes intellectuals what they are. They are mere reactionaries without consciousness of the collective interest of their people. They lack aim and agenda to die for. They have reduced themselves to waiting for the South to set the agenda and react sentimentally in syrupy and weak voices meant, in reality, to be heard and remain relevant in the eyes of the illiterate majority. Their reaction to this present issue of VAT pay credence to what I said. Their weak reactions contain nothing more than what VAT means, history of VAT and how VAT is shared normally, in addition to empty grammar stamped with academic titles to impress their braying uninformed howling media followers.
With this formidable impediments posed by the blackmailed and effeminate leaders and self serving grovelling quasi intellectuals, the prospect of North holding its own against Southern ruthless cold war in all sectors, is certainly slight and grim. Banking, telecommunication, export, and import, diplomacy, foreign outsourced business, power supply and other sectors, each with trillions of Naira turn ove, have already been taken over by the South. Governance and politics are now the last frontiers for the South to conquer. And we know, as recent and age old histories have confirmed,, after the final take over, which means discrimination and exclusion, explosion ensued: it is either the monopolizers or the dispossessed to launch the final solution which in either case the result will be unpalatable. Man is the victim of both his action and inaction.

Of Failure, Betrayal & Cover-ups:
The Self Destruction Of A People...
From 1999 - 2015 (16 years) we did not hear Marginalization, Chritianization or Nepotism in Nigeria.
The Igbos, their cousins in South South & Christians were in total control of the Federal Executive Council, the National Assembly, the Army, Police at some point, DSS & office of the CJN etc.
In the 6 years of Jonathan, the Igbos alone where in total control of 85% of key federal executive & legislative positions as well as heads of strategic federal agencies & the Army.
The North & South West did not grudge them nor made cricket noises about Marginalization, Christianization, Igbonization or Nepotism.

They recognized that it's a party democracy that we are practicing in Nigeria & the party that wins share everything. PDP was winning for 16 years, so, Igbos & their PDP shared everything to themselves.
The North & West bidded their time without grudges, remained consistent with their smart politics in the opposition & by 2015, they succeeded in taking power at the centre.

The Igbos & their PDP, accustomed to power & looting of the treasury for 16 uninterrupted years could not believe they are out suddenly & could not imagine a life without the national treasury they enjoyed into emptiness for 16 years.
The Igbo politicians, federal ministers, Igbo hitherto heads of federal agecies, elites, federal contractors, Ohaneze & their looting Igbo Clergy accomplices with nothing to show their people the Igbos for their 16 years control of the federal government & the federal treasury;
their party PDP, with nothing to show Nigerians, with nothing to show the Igbos & campaign in the next elections as what they did in Nigeria or Igboland for 16 years in power controlling majority states in Nigeria & in Igboland, controlling the federal government & the federal treasury;
now quickly regrouped in a massive propaganda of lies & self-delusional campaigns of calumny against Buhari, his administration & APC claiming Marginalization & a hidden agenda of Islamization, Fulanization & Nepotism.
They regrouped from the pulpits, in Dubai, inside the bushes & forests around Nigeria with terrorists, bandits, armed cultists, IPOB & other insurgent militias to unleash terror & general insecurity in our land to cause mass discontent & insurrection against Buhari's APC administration because they have nothing as their achievement for 16 whole years to campaign with in any election in Nigeria.

The question then is;
at what point did the Igbos that own PDP, controlled the federal executive council, controlled the national treasury, controlled the army, controlled the police under Onovo, controlled the national assembly, controlled finance & the CBN, controlled majority of key federal agencies, controlled the Igbo states for 16 whole years & presently control over 50% of the properties in Nigeria including Lagos & Abuja, & till date control commerce in the 36 states of Nigeria become marginalised or enslaved by any other ethno-religious group in Nigeria?
Buhari's APC administration had something to show to Nigerians in 2019 as their 4 years achievements.
They will have hundred times more things to show Nigerians as their achievements come 2023.
In Igbo land, Buhari's APC have hundreds of achievements including multi billion naira ultra modern highways, bridges, interchanges, airports, seaports, railway lines, power projects, refineries (the one in Ohaji already completed & producing), agricultural projects, industrial parks & help to Igbo businesses to make them global players today (Innoson, Anammco, Choscaris, Air Peace, Oliserve just to name a few) & Ziks Mausoleum etc to show Igbo electorates as their achievements for 8 years.

Where is our Igbo brothers run PDP & government achievements in Nigeria or Igboland for 16 years they were in charge?
For the past 8 years, we Igbos & our diabolic PDP have no logical, clear nor cohorent intelligent strategy to win back power at the centre or at least get ourselves back into the mainstream of Nigeria's politics.
We are busy doping ourselves with infantile idiocy, making ourselves a stench in the nostrils of other Nigerians with our juvenile insults, abuses & swearings that smacks of lack of home training.
We have taken the most stupid self-defeating & self-annihilation path of killing oursleves & our SouthEast economy with the IPOB/ESN/Unknown Gunmen monster we are feeding, paying, equipping & covering.
On the eve of 2023 crucial elections that will define the next 50 years of Nigeria, we are "sitting at home" while the West & North are strategizing.
A sad shame indeed how a once thought intelligent people have allowed a selfish elite & their hired opportunistic conman - Kanu lead them by the nose into self destruction with lies & propaganda from the pit of hell to cover their 16 years of total failure & betrayal.
Odiegwu really!!

From 1999 - 2015 (16 years) we did not hear Marginalization, Chritianization or Nepotism in Nigeria.

The Igbos, their cousins in South South & Christians were in total control of the Federal Executive Council, the National Assembly, the Army, Police at some point, DSS & office of the CJN etc.

In the 6 years of Jonathan, the Igbos alone where in total control of 85% of key federal executive & legislative positions as well as heads of strategic federal agencies & the Army.
The North & South West did not grudge them nor made cricket noises about Marginalization, Christianization, Igbonization or Nepotism.

They recognized that it's a party democracy that we are practicing in Nigeria & the party that wins share everything. PDP was winning for 16 years, so, Igbos & their PDP shared everything to themselves.

I love my Hausa/Fulani academics & scholars!
They don't open their mouths anyhow in petty ITK 'foolish wiseness of the agricultural fowl' if i may borrow Zebrudaya's patented lines.

When we write, it's mostly in calculated response to misconstrued perceptions, provide additional lights on national issues or to state our own side of the story.
And when you read them, you will read knowledge, wisdom & invaluable insights.
But you see the academics & scholars from the South & some part of the Middle Belt.
They have opinions on every issue no matter how trivial.

When you read them, you can't mistake the bigotry, concieted arrogance & incitement to foolishness to their people hidden openly in their mischief they call opinion.

Yet, the South wonder aloud why with all thier vaunted intelligence, they are nowhere near the North in cohesiveness, aggregation of ideas, effective planning & organization.

Lack of solid understanding of our diversity is the reason for the needless animosity and distrust everywhere. Alcohol is frowned at in the north and the noise is that revenue from alcohol collected from States that permit sales of beer should not be shared with the states of northern Nigeria. Very valid argument but we also forgot that the same north supplies the grains used in brewing alcohol oh . So las las every region is dependent on one another - we are mutual parasites! Mutually musing

THE SPAT OVER VAT: THE WRANGLING BETWEEN THIEVES AND CONFUSED VICTIMS
No single person from the north has written anything of practical import concerning the VAT battle between Southern states and Northern states.
All we have are discordant exclamations and mundane tirades of what is VAT and its history in Nigeria. What is to be done is entirely missing from the misdirected Northern narrative.

It is clear that after systematically shifting all development and productive factors to the South, the North is at the mercy of the South. While the North has the majority in consumer population who are the final bearer of the burden of VAT, the South has taken over the manufacture and other VATable services like import and export. It is only natural for the South to insist on states to retain VAT money which in reality both the Southern and Northern consumers paid for. The Northern leaders are armed and confused and their reactionary pseudointellectuals have nothing rational for attenuation of the danger threatening to further deflate the Northern economy interest. Northern traders and their goods were burnt and chased out of the South withing reciprocal response from the North. Southern terrorist received trillions as amnesty, but Northern terrorists were denied a farthing. Northern herders are denied pasture in the South in the name of a new fangled policy of ban on open grazing, while Southern drug dealers, abductors of children, gun suppliers, substandard and over prized goods retailers are having a field day in the North. And now they want receive all the VAT revenue of which in reality is paid for by all citizens across the country, besides media and physical aggression in the bid to wrest political power permanently mindless of democratic norms. What shall we say about the frontline VAT issue?

The South has masked the true nature of VAT and claimed its benefit to themselves. They highlight the collection centre, mainly the Southern states, and eclipse the source, the individual consumers all over the country. Under this dicey situation the North has two options and it must be ready to stand up to blackmail and threats by the South for whichever option they choose to go by.
First, the North should either make VAT collectable at the sources of consumers based on state of origin or;
The North should think outside of the box and change the battle field entirely. If the South insists on VAT being shared based on collection centres, the North can take an entirely a different course of action to neutralise the grasping effectiveness of the collection centres. Under the reality of Southern leaders( especially Obasanjo in his tenure) induced collapse of manufacturing industries and lack of ports to charge for import and export, the North should insist on turning their region into a global free trade zone that will enable them to contract trade, import and export, with every nation of the world without restrictions in the name of protecting Nigerian manufacturers and service providers. This will definitely free the North from the central government's imposed economic blockade that left the North with no option beyond buying substandard and counterfeited goods at hyperinflation prices. This will certainly jigger the South as the VAT theft is disturbing the North at present. To this, the North should target heavy taxes and levies over Southern goods and traders to economically rid its markets from the constriction of Southern economic marauding. International traders with genuine and affordable products, to be marketed and sold by Northerners themselves in partnership with the rest of the world, are to be invited. If the South adopts The Prince as their guide book, the North must seek refuge in the Art of War and Forty Eight Laws of power!
However, I am aware these suggestions of courses of action may meet with impediments from within. The North is bereft of leaders with the moral muscle and political will to put through with anything the Southern leaders are not pleased with. Since the death of Sardauna, it has been one retreat after the other and the South has been capitalising on that. I am equally aware that the Northern leaders adopt their give and give attitude towards the South because they have been blackmailed. Like the Southern leaders, they have looted and stashed away billions; but unlike the Southern leaders, the Northern leaders are not in control of their booty. The banks and other financial institutions in which, and through which, leaders of both divides launder their scoop is in the total control of the Southerners. So, the fear of selective targetted exposure and personal loss renders the Northern leaders too fickle and diffident to put up a robust fight and win. Moreover, as weak and ineffectual as the Northern leaders are, they could have been forced to action were the other informed Northern classes, like the intellectuals and business class up to their mettle.
But are the intellectuals dedicated and committed enough to force courage and action down the throats of their compromised Northern leaders? This timid and fawning class has lost all ingredients that makes intellectuals what they are. They are mere reactionaries without consciousness of the collective interest of their people. They lack aim and agenda to die for. They have reduced themselves to waiting for the South to set the agenda and react sentimentally in syrupy and weak voices meant, in reality, to be heard and remain relevant in the eyes of the illiterate majority. Their reaction to this present issue of VAT pay credence to what I said. Their weak reactions contain nothing more than what VAT means, history of VAT and how VAT is shared normally, in addition to empty grammar stamped with academic titles to impress their braying uninformed howling media followers.
With this formidable impediments posed by the blackmailed and effeminate leaders and self serving grovelling quasi intellectuals, the prospect of North holding its own against Southern ruthless cold war in all sectors, is certainly slight and grim. Banking, telecommunication, export, and import, diplomacy, foreign outsourced business, power supply and other sectors, each with trillions of Naira turn ove, have already been taken over by the South. Governance and politics are now the last frontiers for the South to conquer. And we know, as recent and age old histories have confirmed,, after the final take over, which means discrimination and exclusion, explosion ensued: it is either the monopolizers or the dispossessed to launch the final solution which in either case the result will be unpalatable. Man is the victim of both his action and inaction.

Totally right, Seun and his moderators are deliberately pushing Afghanistan and Taliban related news on the front page, even on repetition just like this one so that the islamophobia Christians will always have a reason to bash Islam and the Muslims

Very true

Mind you I am not as gullible as you think.

The oldest existing, and continually operating educational institution in the world is the University of Karueein, founded in 859 AD in Fez, Morocco. The University of Bologna, Italy, was founded in 1088 and is the oldest one in Europe. The Sumerians had scribal schools or É-Dub-ba soon after 3500BC.
I don't know where you got your fact from.

I ask many questions but instead of answering, you're busy spewing insults and you claimed you were thought to be modest.

Your teachings and the real you are parallel.

You know why it's so difficult to convince anyone about the good side of your religion.

The reason is because your teachings are far from your lifestyles.

You welcome killers and even encourage others to do same and you come to preach peace.

You welcome religious bigotry and claim you love others.

Let your words match your actions then you can come and ague publicly.

A mUslim lady founded the first University on earth....Islam have gave the western world enough light which you are also a beneficiary today...from d arabic numerals to medicine etc....

How dare you deny the fact!
Hate envy jealousy and disbelief is your greatest trouble....You hate anything that stands with the truth...


No Northerner or Muslim will ever love your wrecked HIV and Aids ravaged region of cultistss....You sacrifice everyone in your family and community for ritualism at the end you lose everything and become frustrated!


You are Real terrorists, cultists, rapists and criminals in the southern part of Nigeria... You have always spoiled the name of Nigeria and have given it bad image, there's nothing they add but the number of prisoners...People dont knw all this because thay have what the North lack – a propaganda machine – and so you think your crimes and character will be hidden different. Forget rabble-rousing journalists and bloggers and social media influencers with you who would want to push the narrative of the “unknown gunmen” (clandestine agents) or shout to the high heavens of being victimised. Please, try to study history, and stop empty cries online.

You are nothing to us but a chained dog barking

Paul invented “Christianity” as revenge against the Jews, and the Roman Emperors. His goal was to overtake the Roman Empire and destroy the Jewish authorities. His religion succeeded, and it’s very unfortunate that the true followers of Jesus were defeated.

 

The Pauline Church later became known as the ‘Roman Catholic Church’, it was wholly controlled by politics and not a religious foundation. Christianity was made the official religion of the Roman Empire by Constantine; he used the Church for his own political purpose and he never became a Christian.

 

Constantine changed the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday to commemorate the day of the sun-god. Constantine introduced the pagan ‘trinity’ which he borrowed from his own religion. The Romans, the Egyptians, and the Hindus believed in ‘trinity’ before Christianity existed.

 

When the Council of Nicea took place, the Emperor Constantine

 

-       Declared the Roman Sun-day to be the Christian Sabbath

-       Adopted the traditional birthday of the Sun-god, and the twenty-fifth of December, as the birthday of Jesus;

-       Borrowed the emblem of the Sun-god, the cross of light, to be the emblem of Christianity;

-       And, although the statue of Jesus replaced the idol of the Sun-god, decided to incorporate all the ceremonies which were performed at the Sub-gods birthday celebrations into their own ceremonies.

Christians prefer to read the epistles of Paul, the Evangelists who preach the falsehood of Christianity quote Paul and not Jesus. A very popular verse quoted by the sexual sinners is 1 Corinthians 15:5-8 where Paul says five-hundred people saw Jesus after his resurrection.

It is only a fool that would refuse to answer simple question.
Can u support your claim with koranic verses?
I am waiting

Your answer is therein...but because you are deaf dumb and blind it is hard for you to figure it out!

By your words you've shown how ignorant of Islam you stand to be...Tou know nothing about Quran nor the traditions..

What are the sources of guidance and rullings to a Muslim?

The Quran only?

Ignorance bis really a disease!

Lemme educate you a lil about Hayaa modesty..

Islam is the only religion that promotes modesty.

Modesty in Quran and hadith..

The Quran 24:31 obliges men and women to observe modesty: “Say to the believing men that they restrain their eyes and guard their private parts. That is purer for them. Surely, Allah is well aware of what they do.”

In another beautiful narration, Ja’far ibn Muhammad (pbuh) says,

لَا إِيمَانَ لِمَنْ لَا حَيَاءَ لَه

The immodest is faithless.

This means that if a person is faithful, he/she would also be modest.


“O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks close round them (when they go abroad). That will be better, so that they may be recognised and not annoyed. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.” (Quran 33:59).


In Islam, men and women share responsibility in upholding modesty and controlling their desires in society. Whether someone dresses or behaves modestly or not, the obligation to guard one's own chastity rests with each gender. ... Further, Islam's code of modesty extends to all aspects of one's life, including attire.


Islam and modesty have a similar relation which soul bears to the body. The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللّٰەُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said: Undoubtedly, modesty and faith are connected together so when one gets away, the other one is also taken away. (Al-Mustadrak lil-Haakim, vol. 1, pp. 176, Hadees 66) Therefore the enemies of Islam are seen attacking the modesty of Muslims. It is not hidden from anyone that attacks are being made on modesty in the society in the name of dramas, films, advertisements, morning shows, etc.

Immodesty brings about destruction

Lemme tell you once again...

The primary sources of Islamic law are the Holy Book (The Quran), The Sunnah (the traditions or known practices of the Prophet Muhammad ), Ijma' (Consensus), and Qiyas (Analogy).

Dont be too dull again and come online with your half baked analogy

babaolofin:


You are here this morning again after your infamous Northern prowess history compiled under depression caused by VAT collection by States battle.

It is not about the record released by FIRS or any agency of the FG, but it is about the fundamental principle of Federalism that was handed to us at independence. Most records released by FG agencies on critical sector of the nation is political. Very political.

I remembered the Statistics released on vehicular traffic on some major roads in Nigeria. The Lagos -Ibadan expressway and 3rd Mainland Bridge exposed them when some roads were given higher traffic.

It is not how much VAT was declared or stated in the report but the potentials to be released to States to think strategically to generate more ideas and revenue for development.

The Military era is gone where the Kaduna Mafia controlled development indices and determined resources distribution . It was the collapse of the Kaduna Mafia control that made you to give a very derogatory comments on Obasanjo's Presidency yesterday as sent by your masters. You forgot Kano Airport and few other Airports were ghost cities as at 1999. We have spent two days at Kano just because of lack of flight to Lagos having bought tickets. The following day, towards evening, it was a tug of war entering the plane that came. People rushed to enter the plane (Nigeria Airways) irrespective of Airlines tickets (Kabo, IRS,etc) they bought. At the end we were packed like sardines to Lagos. It happened severally.

I think, somebody should extract your foolish summary on Obasanjo's Presidency and send it to him. Also, one of your brothers on nairaland said Obasanjo destroyed NEPA because of Industries in the North and built gas pipelines to industries in Ogun and Ibadan.

The truth of the matter is that the Military was breastfeeding the North while the South produced the milk. The change in system of governance brought about structural adjustments which were initially very difficult for North to comprehend. What your Captain of Industries enjoyed during the military era that made them what they are is just what IBETO cement enjoyed under Jonathan that Dangote complained. I was on the side of Dangote I just brought it for your attention.

You said you were outside Nigeria on assignment, which means, it is likely you are working in the presidency. Advise them, let the States collect their VAT as it is done in US and other civilized society. After all, Kano and Kaduna contribute more VAT than 14 states in the South.

Let us kick start the development in Nigeria. The VISION of the South is quite different from the VISION of the North. The Bauchi governor said your VISION is to use Nigeria's resources to promote and further the interests of Fulanis across West Africa. That's not our vision in the South.

[/s] sluggish brain....Yeye empty rants...

Whats the point in the whole jaggon you penned?

Online tribalist hater you are just making empty noise here with no knowledge ONLY FIVE STATES CONTRIBUTE 87% OF VAT IN NIGERIA

Lagos state-55%

FCT. -20%

Rivers. - 6%

Kano. -5%

Kaduna. -1%

Where is your state?
