Normally, I don't go into needless argument especially on issues that are so obvious but you seem a bit enlightened so I would give it a try. Now first of,you mentioned Niger delta not working for the oil ,yes that's true but for the fact that it's in their backyards,they are entitled to the proceeds from the sale of it to develop their land. If you have travelled outside this country or even read about places where oil are being drilled,you'll realize the owners of the land or its initial inhabitants are always well taken care of but in our own case,we didn't get it right at inception,the reason we are being confronted with continuous agitation from that region till date. I know many folks from the north would be quick to deny this,but the bending over to accommodate the region in the scheme of things by lowering standards through introduction of such things as catchment areas and quota system has seen merit thrown out the window and with it has seen persons who are not very qualified manning very important sectors including education and we can see how it has impacted all over the country. To answer your question directly,the privileged ones from the north who have benefited from this lop sided system have made sure the country can only move at the pace of the weakest link so no matter how other regions try to move,their movement is being curtailed in a way by the instruments of government which are in the tight control of northerners who occupy every critical positions in any area you can think,the reason why certain recommendations that could move the country as a whole forward but viewed as anti north never see the light of day. On the vices issue,seems you didn't get my point,I never said many people weren't in it but what I meant was that it is not right to say the whole population is involved in it,that can't be true by any length of imagination besides how come the whole population has not been killed or kidnapped if the whole south is filled of ritual killers and armed robbers if we are to follow your line of reasoning? Speaking of vices,maybe you're living in denial but even right here in the north that am residing,they have their own brand,at least I know of hard drugs abuse which is very rampant here and you and I know the consequences of drug addiction.

see,each region in the country have their peculiar needs,lumping up regions together in this feeding bottle federalism we are practising in this country and forcing everyone to move at the same rate has not worked and won't work in the foreseeable future cos some regions would be left behind no matter how they try to stifle the progressive ones. Now to the north,its peculiar need right now is education,previous leaders from that region ,for whatever reasons,felt that to keep the people there under their tight grip,they must be denied education. Just check wot Awo did for the west,he gave them a headstart by giving his region free education,same with zik but the civil war drove the east behind but in the last 20 years,due to concerted efforts,the east has caught up and even overtaking others in education;you can check the results of major exams being written in this country to know which region is topping. Even the likes of Emir Sanusi and governor Tambuwal of sokoto have seen the light and have been encouraging their people to embrace western education to fill the obvious gap their lack of it has caused the region as a whole. To answer your question directly,the vices you mentioned are as a result of bad governance cos if government is doing its work well through its organs,it would have curtailed such vices to the barest minimum cos the number of people engaged in it is far less than the overall population so your analogy here is off cos in the north,the reverse is the case,too many uneducated folks with less skills is a disaster in waiting for manipulative hands
