Northerners know how to hype their own

Ordinary ahmed musa wey go face post play shot go throwin

If North had someone like chinua achebe or wole soyinka or chimanmanda dem for no gree the rest of us hear word

Fortunately we have the richest black man on earth

giles14:
evidence with link please. the

If u need evidence,you can check online sir,it seems u know less about northern Nigeria.

giles14:
who then are the hausa's

Hausa's are mostly found in north western Nigeria,some few states in north east(bauchi,adamawa) and north central (niger ,nasarawa and plateau)
Do u know that Hausa Man has never ruled Nigeria ?

Oluwamuyeewa:
Eyin Omo oduduwa

We ought to have outgrown this Ncan of a thing,tribalism won't add a penny to our account or improve the standard of our lives,let he who have no sinned cast the first stone

Yoruba- yahoo/ritual
Igbo- drug trafficking/ kidnapping
Hausa- terrorism!


We're not perfect,let's try to work together to make life better

Please stop misunderstanding hausa with boko haram,boko haram are mostly kanuri,borno is not hausa

CarlosTheJackal:
The poverty in the North is the most potent terrorism unleashed on the other Nigerians which gave rise to BH, almajiri and religious fanatics

I disagree with you,I insist its bad leadership ,tho poverty is also a reason ,do u think boko haram are not sponsored,also unemployment is another key factor

GloriaNinja:
AND NORTH CAN'T
DO WITHOUT TERRORISM. IT'S IRONIC.

Boko haram are not upto 1% of northern Nigeria,every region has its kind of terror,Armed Robbery,Cultists,Kidnapping are also common in the south,Our major problem in the country is bad leadership,the elite have no difference in religion or tribe when it comes to looting,so please wise up

Opinion:

NIGERIA CANNOT DO WITHOUT THE NORTH

By Femi Aribisala

Without the North, Nigeria and Nigerians would be reduced to nonentities.

In 2005, Goldman Sachs Investment Bank forecast that Nigeria will be the 20th largest economy in the world by 2025 and the 12th largest by 2050; ahead of Italy, Canada and South Korea. Having identified Brazil, Russia, India and China as four emergent powerhouses of the world economy referred to as the BRICS; it included Nigeria among “the Next Eleven” countries of Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, South Korea, Turkey, and Vietnam.

At the U.S.-Nigeria Trade and Investment Forum organised by the Nigerians in Diaspora Organisation of the Americas (NIDOA) in Washington D.C. in 2012, President Barack Obama of the United States acknowledged Nigeria not only as a strategic centre of gravity in Africa; he went further to proclaim the country “the world’s next economic giant.” Early this year, with the rebasing of the country’s GDP, Nigeria emerged as the biggest economy in Africa, surpassing South Africa.

Manifest destiny

It is no secret that Nigeria is a country of great potentials, even if that potential is yet to be appreciably realised. One of the strengths of the country is its large population. Currently estimated at 170 million, Nigeria is the seventh largest country in the world. By 2050, Nigeria’s population is projected by the United Nations to reach 389 million, rivaling that of the United States at 403 million. By the end of the century, the U.N. projects that Nigeria’s population would be between 900 million and 1 billion, nearing that of China which would then be the second most populous country in the world after India.

Nigeria’s economic size is a blessing in disguise. It means the country will have a ready domestic market for its eventual industrial growth. It means it can envisage economies of scale not possible in smaller countries. Even now, Nigeria offers alluring returns for investors. Says Charles Robertson, Global Chief Economist at Renaissance Capital: “We know it’s not risk free, but look around the world and find another economy with 160 million people growing at 7 percent with such potential. It’s a struggle to find them.”

Countries go to war to acquire the kind of real estate that is Nigeria. This makes it all the more ludicrous that there are noises coming out of Southern Nigeria demanding that the country should be divided. The most ethnically jingoistic of these is the insistence that Nigeria would be better off without the North. It would appear that some Southern Nigerians have been intoxicated by oil. Since there is no oil in the North, they conclude that the North is no more than an albatross on the neck of the South and castigate it as a region defined by dependency.

This view is nothing short of idiotic. No serious-minded country relinquishes a region as rich and as resourceful as Northern Nigeria. Without the North, Nigeria’s much-vaunted potentials would vanish. Without the North, Nigeria would be nothing more than yet another balkanized and insignificant African country, or group of countries. Take the North out of the Nigerian equation and there can no longer be any black country in the world that can possibly attain the status of a major power in the world. Without the North, Nigeria and Nigerians would be reduced to nonentities.

Northern imperative

Nigerians have been blinded by oil. Because of oil, we have become unproductively mono-cultural in our economy. However, oil is hardly the only major resource we have. Although oil revenues have brought us a great deal of financial prosperity, at the same time it stunted the inexorable emergence of agro-based industries in Nigeria. The backbone of such promissory local industries is in Northern Nigeria.

The North is the breadbasket of Nigeria. A significant proportion of the food we eat down South comes from the North. The North occupies 70% of Nigeria’s land mass, giving it comparative advantage vis-à-vis the South in terms of agriculture, raw materials and livestock. A large chunk of the North is arable and supportive of year-round food production. Thanks largely to the North, there is no tropical agricultural crop known to man that cannot be grown in Nigeria. With a transition from subsistence to mechanized agriculture, Northern Nigeria alone can produce enough food to feed the whole of Africa.

Northern Nigeria is bigger than most African countries. Currently, Nigeria wastes a staggering 1.3 trillion naira on food imports; virtually one-third of the annual budget. But the North can produce all the food we need, thereby liberating valuable resources. Already, it is the North that feeds the South in Nigeria. Virtually all Southern food crops and livestock come from the North. Much of Nigeria’s water resources are also in the North. With the right policy mixes, the North will earn for Nigeria billions of dollars annually from agriculture.

Our Niger-Delta brothers should not get too carried away by their oil. If their oil is a national resource today, so will Northern agriculture and agro-allied industries be national resources tomorrow. Oil is a wasting asset. Short of new discoveries, Nigeria’s oil will expire within the next 50 years. However, Northern agriculture will never expire.

Northern resources

There is something else besides. There can be no doubt that there is oil in the North. It is only a matter of time before it is discovered. The geography and topography of the North and the discovery of oil in surrounding areas is a testament to this eventuality. Since there is oil in Cameroon, Chad and Niger Republic, the chances are pretty good that Northern states like Bauchi, Borno, Sokoto and Niger will one day become oil-producing states.

Moreover, the North is rich in mineral resources; far richer than the South. There is gold in Zamfara; uranium in Taraba; tin-ore in Plateau; columbite in Nassarawa; iron ore in Kogi; gysium in Gombe and limestone in Sokoto among others. Hydroelectricity for the country is provided from Kainji Dam and Shiroro Gorge. There are game reserves in the North including Argungu, which make it a potential money-spinner for tourism, a possible Kenya in the making if we can get rid of the scourge of Boko Haram.

Southern Nigerians should stop underestimating Northern industry. Northerners created the ground-nut pyramids, cotton farms and tanneries of old. With visionary national and regional leadership, these will surely make a comeback. So also will the textile factories of Gusau, Kaduna and Kano. All the Southern bigotry about the North being predominantly Moslem is just nonsense. When you see what economic wonders Moslems are doing in places like Dubai, Oman, Qatar, Abu Dhabi, Saudi Arabia and Turkey, you will realise that Nigeria has a lot to learn from Moslems.

It should not be forgotten that by far the most enterprising Nigerian today is a Northerner from Kano. According to the most recent Forbes Billionaires list of March 2014, Aliko Dangote is now the 23rd richest man in the world with a net worth of $25 billion dollars. This is an amazing feat for an African and a Nigerian. Dangote is now richer than Alisher Usmanov; the richest man in Russia. He is also richer than Mukesh Ambani; India’s richest man. Dangote is all the more remarkable because he achieved this feat primarily through a route far less travelled by Nigerians: the hard, difficult grind of manufacturing.

The Northern problem is the Nigerian problem. It is the problem of bad leadership. Northern politicians and military leaders have been the bane of the North and of Nigeria. They have grown fat at the expense of the poor. They have deliberately kept the poor uneducated, preferring to feed them from the crumbs falling from their table. But as Boko Haram bites deeper, this too shall pass. A new generation of Northern leadership is emerging. An example of this is Rabiu Kwankwaso of Kano who is, by all accounts, redeeming his first-term as Governor with the second-term.

Uneducated hogwash

All things considered, the boast of a Nigeria divorced from the North is balderdash. Nigeria cannot do without the North. We cannot divide Nigeria into 350 ethnic nation-states. Let Southerners stop fooling ourselves. Any attempt to abridge Nigeria because some Southern areas want to go it alone will be disastrous. Ethnic homogeneity is no panacea against internal conflict. Somalia is ethnically homogeneous. Nevertheless, it is a failed state. Southern Sudan only recently obtained independence from Sudan. Nevertheless, it is already embroiled in inter-ethnic conflict.

There can be no romantic Oduduwa Republic, unless we foolishly ignore the long history of Yoruba wars. Try to turn back the clock, and the Egba, the Ekiti, the Ijebu, the Ijesha and the Ilorin will start locking horns yet again. Even now, there are daggers drawn between the Ife and Modakeke in Osun. There can be no return to Biafra, unless we pretend that the differences between the Aguleri and the Umuleri in Anambra or that between the Ezza and the Ezillo in Ebonyi are fiction. The Igbo have never been united. Historically, they were organized into separate and autonomous republics. Biafra itself had problems with its ethnic minorities.

There can be no Republics of the Niger Delta. Are we then to divide the Efik from the Ibibio, the Ijaw from the Itsekiri; the Kalabari from the Ogoja; and the Ogoni from the Urhobos? What then would happen after the oil runs dry?

There can only be the Federal Republic of Nigeria. No matter what anyone says, Nigeria is a country and a country it should remain. You don’t live together for 50 to 100 years and not become a country. It does not matter if some of us are Muslims and some are Christians: we are all Nigerians. It does not matter if some of us speak Hausa and some speak Yoruba: we are all Nigerians. Our diversity is our strength. That is the beauty of Nigeria. It cannot be re-engineered.

Nigeria is a blessed country, carefully-crafted by divine ordinance. This is not time to start hankering after some midget states when the herculean Europeans are busy crafting a super-state. This is no time to think small. It is time for Nigerians to start thinking big and bigger.

Lol,it's epic

As shared from the boxing champion Facebook page ...

Dr. Salamat Ahuoiza Aliu is a 35-year-old neuro-
surgeon at National Hospital, Abuja. The first
indigenously trained female neuro-surgeon in Nigeria is also the first female to be certified a neuro-surgeon in West Africa. Mrs Aliu, who hails from Okenne Local Government Area of Kogi State, was born in Ilorin, Kwara State, where she had most of her education up to the university level. The medical doctor, who is happily married with a lovely boy, in this exclusive interview, spoke about her career and the hope to nurture the younger ones. Excerpts:

What does it really take to become a neuro-
surgeon?
To become a neuro-surgeon, you have to have gone to a medical school first of all. Then, you enroll in residency training. In Nigeria, to become a neuro-surgeon, you have to have gone through two years of trial surgery and at least another four years of specialized neurosurgery training. Then, you can become a neuro-surgeon in Nigeria.

Are you saying that the requirement doesn’t go beyond that?
It depends on some circumstances. But what I said is the minimum length of time it takes for someone to become a neuro-surgeon. But due to various circumstances, it might extend beyond that time.
This is a rare field of study in Nigeria. Why did you decide to study neurosurgery?
Well, I should say first of all, it has to do with interest. Neurosurgery specializes in the treatment of neurological diseases. This means diseases of the brain and spinal cord. Often, it involves the use of surgical operation to treat such diseases. So, that area has always intrigued me. It is the interest that gets me, first of all, to study neurosurgery. And I’m opportune to have an enabling environment. I find myself in a place where it was possible for me to go for the training. Then, I took the chance.
Where was the place?
I find myself at National Hospital. Even though at that time, the National Hospital did not have the training. But there was a centre in Sokoto. When there was an available space, I took the opportunity. I went to Sokoto for the training. It was Neurosurgery Centre, Sokoto.
Are you saying that the study of neurosurgery has been in Nigeria for quite sometime?
Yes, it has been in Nigeria for quite sometime. I think the first neuro-surgeon came to Nigeria before independence. He is a Nigerian who studied in the United States of America. He is late Professor Lakunle Odeku. He came back to Ibadan, where he established neurosurgery training either in the early or late 60s. I can’t be specific about that date.
Since you have been practicing this discipline, what is your memorable experience?
Let me say that every day in neurosurgery is memorable because it is an amazing thing to be able to operate on somebody’s brain and the person gets up again. It’s always amazing. It’s something that gives us (neurosurgeons) a lot of joy. It gives me joy. I can’t point out a specific case. Every case is interesting and memorable. We treat a variety of cases, ranging from diseases of children and adult. One common condition of children we treat here is hydrocephalus – that is abnormal accumulation of water within the brain. It can occur in children. It can also occur in adults. A lot of them occur, following infections and meningitis in children. But a few also occur congenitally. That is a condition that we treat often. We also see and treat cases of brain tumors. One thing that gives me concern is the high rate of neurotrauma that we have in Nigeria. The high incident of neurotrauma involves injury to the brain, especially following road traffic accident. We lose a lot of life through this. Spinal cord injuries are also very common. These are cases that are quite challenging and we see them every day.
Who motivated you to go for this course?
I can’t say particularly one person who motivated me. But I heard of the specialty in neurosurgery when I was in secondary school. So, I picked interest in it. I thought maybe one day I could become a neuro-surgeon. While I was an undergraduate of Medical School, University of Ilorin,One of my consultants, who is a neuro-surgeon, Professor T.O. Odebode, used to call me a neuro- surgeon, jokingly. So, all that made me think that I could really become a neuro-surgeon. But the final decision to become a neuro-surgeon is not something that occurs at a particular point. It is a cumulation of events. I just thought that I could do it even though there was no woman before me in Nigeria who had been indigenously trained in neurosurgery. I was encouraged that it’s a field I could go into even though it is usually perceived as a difficult field which once you are in it, it doesn’t go well with family life. But I thank God I was able to look beyond all those challenges and follow my interest.
Now, being a mother and a neuro-surgeon, how do you cope with the family challenges?
I have just been quite fortunate to have a good support system. Sometimes, my mother comes around. And I have a very good support from my husband. So, that is how I’m able to cope. You said the decision to study this field stemmed from a cumulation of events. Can we learn from those events?
Basically, it’s a challenging field. You think that as a woman, it’s not something compatible with family life. How would you cope being a neuro-surgeon and being functional at home? So, even though I had interest from the beginning to do neurosurgery, at one point, I considered other things. I consider doing pediatric surgery. I also considered doing plastic surgery. But I had a very good support from senior colleagues who encouraged me that I should still go with my heart. I should look beyond the difficulties - I
should look at what job satisfaction I can get from a career in neurosurgery. So, I prayed about it. Then, I was able to finally make up my mind and decide that it is neurosurgery that I should pursue.
Are you satisfied with this field now?
I thank God. I’m happy being a neuro-surgeon even though working in Nigeria is challenging. You don’t have the best of facilities. That is the truth. But National Hospital is a good place among many hospitals in Nigeria. It’s fairly well equipped.
How many hospitals in Nigeria train neuro- surgeons?
It will be difficult for me to specifically give the numbers. But I know that there are a number of centres in the North. There is a training centre in Uthman Dan Fodio University Teaching Hospital, Sokoto, where I went for the training. After I got trained there, National Hospital Abuja has also got full accreditation to train doctors in neurosurgery. These are basically the two in the North that I’m aware of. We have centres in Ibadan, Lagos, and Enugu that have full accreditation. Then, a few other places have partial accreditation to train doctors in neurosurgery. Due to the traumatic situation in the country occasioned by the Boko Haram insurgency, many people are thought to be suffering from mental illnesses during this challenging period.
Do you handle cases? How many cases are being reported on a daily basis?
People, who are faced with insurgency, even if they are not physically injured, they can have Post- Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) from the gravity of violence they have seen around them. In neurosurgery, we don’t deal with such patients. It is the job of the people in psychiatry. They treat such patients. So, I wouldn’t be able to say how many patients have Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder from the Boko Haram insurgency.
What are the causes of mental illness?
Again, mental illness is not in my field. But I can just say that some mental illnesses have hereditary components like schizophrenia, it’s a familiar component which runs in certain family. It could also be because of drug abuse or intoxicants. It can also follow organic brain injury.
It is believed that many Nigerians are still travelling abroad to do brain surgery despite the fact that we have those handling it in Nigeria. What do you think could be responsible for this? Do you think we can compete favourably with our foreign counterparts?
Yes, Nigeria can compete favourably with other countries, including their counterparts in developing countries. Even in some areas, we can compete favourably with developed countries. But a lot of Nigerians still travel abroad for medical treatment. This is because of lack of confidence in our system. But I want to assure Nigerians that our doctors are capable of treating most ailments that afflict Nigerians. So, they should have more confidence in the system. Government officials too can assist by seeking healthcare in our institutions rather than going abroad for treatment.
You admitted that we have the challenge of equipment in Nigeria. How do you think we can overcome this?
Well, that challenge can be surmounted when government starts spending more on health. All the things we need should be made available for us so that we can be able to work in a more enabling environment.
How many neuro-surgeons do we really have in Nigeria?
I think we should be about 50 or more than that. I’m not very sure. But we should be at least 60 in the country.
How do you feel being the first indigenously trained female neuro-surgeon?
I’m the first indigenously trained female neuro- surgeon in Nigeria. I also happen to be the first female to be certified a neuro-surgeon in West Africa. So, I’m happy about it. And I give God the glory for giving me that honour.
Do you have any plan to nurture and encourage the younger ones?
Yes, I hope I’m able to inspire as many women as possible to come into the field of neurosurgery. And I’m happy that since I started my training, more women have started coming to neurosurgery field. I think right now, there are about 4 or 5 females in training for neurosurgery, which is a thing of joy. And I pray many more will come into the field. Are they undergoing the training in Abuja here? No. Two are training in Sokoto. One is training in Ibadan and one is in Enugu. May be there are four that I’m aware of.
What advice do you have for Nigerians in order to avoid issues that lead to brain surgery?
I will advice Nigerians to live a healthy lifestyle. They should eat well – balanced diet. They should exercise and avoid excessive consumption of alcohol or avoid it altogether if they can. They should
avoid smoking and the use of hard drugs. Then, they should listen to their bodies – listen to early signs that something may be wrong so that they can seek help early. They should also have the habit of going for regular health checks so that if there is anything wrong, it can be detected in the earliest possible time so that it can be easily tackled.

Thanks bro

Some people can be mocked for choosing what to wear (hijab) while others are being paid to promote immorality (bbnaija)

This is unfortunate

Many of us hardly care to know why we have
military barracks in almost all our major towns. We simply buy and go to sleep the narrative that the military is here to maintain the territorial integrity of Nigeria—which we often interpret as warding off external aggression—while internal dissent is handled by the police. The earlier we "bloody civilians" who are causing trouble all over the land understand that it is not so the better. Come with me.
HISTORY
The truth is that the military, right from the onset, was established by the colonial powers in Africa to subdue internal dissent. Period. The question as to who controls where in Africa has been a settled issue since the Berlin Conference (1884-1885). So the colonial government in Nigeria knew that it was not under any threat from the French whose colonies surrounded Nigeria. Otherwise, why site the barracks in the hinterland towns of Bauchi, Makurdi or Kaduna? Clearly, the barracks were established to keep us—the natives—subdued. Should any armed opposition to colonial rule arise, soldiers from the nearby barracks would be handy in
putting off its fire.The idea remains the same today. Once a crisis goes beyond the capacity of the police, the military from the nearby barracks is readily deployed to handle it. We have seen it in Bauchi, Jos, Kaduna, Yola and, of course, of recent in Maiduguri, where a 7th Division was created to get the force closer to the epicenter of the Boko Haram crisis. It is there to remind natives—sorry, Nigerians—that every inch
of the Nigerian soil belongs to the successor (or
representative) of the colonial power (the Federal Government, in this case) and that nobody should in any way contest that ownership through rewinding history to disclaim the authority of government. The barracks continue to stay put sixty years after independence because government knows that the issue of ownership will from time to time be contested by the some elements with nostalgia for the past. Boko Haram is an example. It contested the authority of the secular Federal Government and eventually established, albeit temporarily, a 'caliphate’ over an area in which people must live by its dictates. The military intervened. Also, when crisis broke out on the Plateau in 2001 because some ‘indigenes’ (who do not have ‘Indi’genes in their blood, but 'Afri' genes like any of us) felt that the Plateau belongs to them alone to the exclusion of some Nigerians and forgetting that the issue of ownership has been settled since when their ancestors were conquered by Lugard, Maj.
Gen. Maina and his troops had to be deployed from the 3rd Division of the Nigerian Army in the outskirts of the Tin City to quench that ‘ancestral fire.’
The Golden Rule
The golden rule is that no people can claim
ownership of any part of Nigeria to the exclusion of others. The land—Nigeria—belongs to the Federal Government. Everybody must let the land he lives on open to habitation by other Nigerians whether he likes them for an affinity or hates them for a difference. This is the ultimate reality of the modern nation state and particularly a democratic one that
does not support any segregation on the basis of race or religion.If we had imbibed this principle, the bloody conflicts that we have witnessed for over three decades in Plateau, Southern Kaduna and now Boko Haram
would have been avoided. Our problem is that we nail our reasoning to the dead wood of pre-colonial precepts and sentiments. While the bright future is inviting us to a life of peace, love and progress, our minds continue to live hostage of the ugly, primitive past, with all its rancour, bigotry and hate for “the
other”, and which the reality of today will not
tolerate.
SOUTHERN KADUNA
Southern Kaduna cannot enjoy an exception to the golden rule. Since the 1980s, efforts have been made to cleanse the area of even ‘native’ Muslims and, now, the Fulani in particular. Some temporary success may be recorded by these bigots and chauvinists but in the end all must submit to the might of the Federal Government which will ensure that the golden rule we spelt out above prevails, turning the whole illusion of an exclusive Christendom in the area into a wasteful adventure similar to Shekau’s dream of a caliphate in the Northeast or the utopia of a Beromland free of Hausa-Fulani.
Well, the party is over. The Federal Government has deployed the military barracks strategy that it inherited from its predecessors. It is bridging the gap in military presence in the area by establishing a barrack in Kafanchan, the nerve centre of the crisis. The purpose is clear: Those that are contesting the principle on which the authority of the government is predicated must be proved wrong,that every Nigerian deserves peace in the area he chooses to live, that every inch of land belongs to government and nobody is allowed to inhabit it to the exclusion of other Nigerians…Curious enough, some enemies of peace are against this noble and irreversible constant. They want 'their' area to remain free of any force that will guarantee the safety of lives and property of other Nigerians. They think they can force the Federal Government to treat them as exception to the rule.Yesterday, some of them demolished the foundation work of the barracks in Kafanchan, thinking that it is enough to put off the project. They are mistaken. Kafanchan must submit to the dictates of government as did Sokoto, Kano, Enugu, Calabar, Bauchi, Yola, Jos and Maiduguri
long before it. This incident has clearly shown who the perpetrators of the killings in Southern Kaduna are.They are those opposed to a military presence that will check their excesses, who shed the blood of others and come up - as we said time without number - in conjunction with ‘outsiders’ who want to see the North in flames with a propaganda on some invincible, marauding 'herdsmen' .Advice My advice to these brothers of ours is nothing butto submit to the agenda of peace that the Federal
Government is proposing by establishing the barrack in Kafanchan. It cannot be stopped,
anyway. So it is better to invest your energy in
peace than fighting a battle that you are sure of
losing.
Please, let us concentrate on building a better
future of our children. Let us bequeath to them a peaceful atmosphere never enjoyed before and a foundation of progress that is today witnessed by many other parts of the continent. Enough of the destruction in our towns, the killings of our masses, the stinking hate in our atmosphere and the rancour in our hearts. The future promises us something far better than all these—peace, love and progress.

The experience of military dictatorship and era has affected the way some of you think. Nigerian constitution is supreme and there is absolutely nothing anybody can do about it if Buhari dies today. No 10 billion northerner can stop Osinbajo from becoming the president. Some of you need to stop making things up. Did any northerner stop ineffectual buffon from becoming president after the death of Yar'adua?

At times you dont waste your time to explain things like this,till when a common Nigerian understands that coming from the same region with a politician does not mean he will share his loot with you,till then politicians will continue to deceive us

Every soul shall taste death
