Nigeria is the ONLY West African country with the anomalous population distribution where the northern arid zones of West Africa supports more population than the southern rainforest belt near the Atlantic ocean.

In every other west African country, the southern areas have more population than the northern area EXCEPT Nigeria.

If you dig into this anomaly, you will discover Nigeria is the one that distributes resources based on population. Little wonder why merely counting themselves is such a hugely important event to rig in favor of the north.

Help me here. Which West African countries from the coast have significant arid zones except Nigeria. And if you actually been to the north you would know that there is lots of vegetation and during the raining season, it rains a lot.

Shehu Sani, a human rights activist and politician, represents Kaduna Central Senatorial Districts in the Senate and is the chairman, Senate Committee on Foreign and Local Debts.

...Excerpts from his interview...

...I think with the death of Chief Gani Fawehinmi, the death of Dr BekoRansomeKuti, the death of Chima Ubani, there has been progressive decline in the protest of the civil society to engage the government in terms of pressurising it to achieve the aims of nationhood. But the role was different under the military. Our role was combative, but with the return to democracy, most of the civil society activists have dissolved into the system. They are now engaging the ministries of Transport, Health, Works, among others, and through this kind of engagement they have been subsumed into the system and would find it very difficult to raise their voice against injustice, against anti-democratic activities, because they have been taken as part of the system. That is the major problem and a very serious one.

However, we still need a vibrant proactive civil society that would put the government in check. I was reading a press statement recently by a shadowy group and they threatened that they were going to recall me because I have been critical of government policies and programmes and I refused to be a politician and still see myself as an activist criticising policies and programmes and for that I should be recalled. I was so happy with that because it is a compliment in the very sense that it would have been very wrong for anybody to tell me that since I took over office, I have lost the comradeship and the spirit and the fire in me have died. That would have been very painful thing to me. But I think with the claim of that group, it is quite good for me.

There are complaints of suffering by the citizenry under the present administration. What do you think the government has not done right?

There are a good things the present administration has done since Buhari came in he has restored peace, confidence and security. However before Buhari there were bombs flying around the country in Abuja, Sokoto, Kano and Jos, among others. Today, he has been able to stabilise and for that we need to commend the gallantry of Nigerian Army which has done a fantastically good job in securing this country. And secondly, he has also been able to fight corruption not just fighting corruption but sending a clear message to all Nigerians that time of corruption is over and we will not tolerate, endorse, embrace any act of corruption in this country. But there are a lot of things that could have been done right, which is the economy. When we took over, even before the hand-over, there could have been a very strong economic team that would forecast the economic weather and make necessary amendments that would cushion the hazards and prevent it from falling flat on our heads. That was the mistake that was made. That is on the economic side and the hardship.

People are actually suffering so much. There is so much poverty, so much hunger. There is so much disappointment in the hearts and minds of our people.

But I think we need to understand that as a government we can’t hold this for so long. This government has enjoyed the longest degree of patience from the people in the history of Nigeria: in the sense that Nigerians are still not in the streets protesting, not going on strike. There is no disobedience campaign against the President or the Federal Government. As you can see, even critics of this government are carefully measuring their words when it comes to criticising the government. But we have up to May 29 next year, which is just a few months ahead, for Nigerians to pass a final verdict of whether we have been able to deliver our campaign promises.

YOU SHOULD BE LUCKY WE ARE NOT IN THE STREETS PROTESTING AGAINST NASS!!!!! What is frustrating is not having someone that is going through tough challenges but keeps doing his best, but some people that seat on NASS and don't even care. #SCRAPSENATE

chiefobdk:
About that article months ago. . The magu camp saw wat was coming so they plant the article so that people like you who re not smart can say exactly what you are saying now

You are biased it's sad because its prevents you from thinking like a man. You are actually the one that is being fool. But hey you have the right to decide to be fooled, I won't argue with you it is your right to make up your mind.

Noblesoul123:
This looks like a sponsored publication. The best thing that Magu should do is to prove his innocence in terms of the allegations contained in the Secret Report beyond reasonable doubt. Providing documentary evidence of flight manifest, title deeds of his rented house etc, will go a long way to help his case.

As for Premium Times It's very interesting that just two days ago, the Senate made public the reason for the non-confirmation of Magu based on a security report by the DSS and just two days later, Premium Times has conducted and concluded a report that exonerates Magu of any wrong-doing?
We are watching this show of shame

In this world they are intelligent clever people that can figure out things faster and better than others. Either you are not smart or you have a biased (corrupt within yourself). It doesn't even take a genius to understand that all this is fabricated by the DSS. Sahara Reporters ran a story month before that that DSS DG in collaboration with senate and some other government people like Kyari had an agreement to frustrate the confirmation of Magu because he is too though and appoint someone doll so that they can continue to eat the money. Check it up

Let Buhari resend his name but now rewrite "Magou" if they reject this we will keep sending the name. Corrupt NASS

Tomorrow don't come and ask me to pay tax- NASSARAWA

They say Nigerians are smart. MMM told me they are dumb

Is he trying to intimidate the IGP? na ameachi problems you want.

seunmsg:
The lawmaker's should just abandon their legislative duties and take over the executive arm of government.

this people are crazy. They take the Nigerian people for slowpoke children

RZArecta:
Buhari and his cronies have always been associated with unbriddled corruption so I'm not surprised

Biased opinion. Nobody targeted buhari in this article.

TheRealestGuy:
What you know?

You don't know. about the first coup which was termed an "igbo" coup?

Or the counter coup?

Or the massive pogrom that went on unabated in the north against igbos?

Young man you know nothing so just shut your fvcking mouth!!!

Go and read Alexander Madiebo's book on the civil war for starters...yeah, you're welcome.

go to biafran war rehab you've been brainwashed

And I said my friend..why are people from south west and north...south south..buy goods from Onitsha and Aba..?

I said it...u never travel...baba..u never travel at all

where do you get your fruits and vegetables and your meat?

mightyhazell:
ofcourse am also affected if things aint goin right around me and dats y am complaining. Unlike most of u lots dat r v comfy ,wit nonsense. When I have to spend close 2 100k monthly just 2 provide electricity for my home and biz,..ofcourse I shd worry,..when nepotism and attendant incompetence is the order of d day in a so called country of mine, I shd worry. Its like am wasting my time with ppl dat feel cool voting a backward person 2 com and lead dem. Ofcourse I shd feel bad,atleast if not 4 myself for fellow so called country men,milling around daily v hungry poor and bleary eyed.

My guy,u can't undstand my pains,ur level of ambition is way below average. Keep wallowing in ur poor thinking and resigned fate. Let me worry abt an improved state of living. Bye

Bros that one no be excuse. we all pay the same bills. We have a system of government that allows all our people to enjoy semi-independent control, that is at the state level, why don't you take advantage of that. Do You know why? Because your own big men have betrayed you. You can develop yourselves within the federal system. But we all know it is not about development but your big men want more oil money and power.

TheRealestGuy:
You know nothing about the civil war and the events that led to it.

Just shut the fvck up!!!

What I know is that Ojukwu started it

U must be a kid...I guess... U juat typed something...I'm sure u av never traveled outside ur region...


My guy...u are talking to a person ...as young as I am..I av traveled to all the regions in Nigeria...at least one or two states per region..

If u av been to onistcha and Aba first hand..I mean..u av the spirit of adventure in u and u travel there to meet producers and manufacters first hand...u woundt av type this shit..

I'm guessing u are from the west...becus..they are the least travelled within naija..

An Hausa man will hardly type this...becus..most of them travel to south east to buy goods.. Lolz...

If u knoq number of people traveling to onitcha and aba to buy goods...u will be shocked..

I was in Ibadan few months back..I went to eat at a restaurant.. The woman got talking with me...and she spoke Igbo...she is Yoruba..and I was shocked at the clearness of her Ibo...she said...for more than 10 years...she regularly traveled to Aba and Onitsha to buy goods she sold in Ibadan..from her business...she was able to establish the big restaurant ..


Meet Hausa men who buy goods down there...they will tell u... Yes..there are imported goods..but there are so many first hand manufactured goods made from south east .

Like I said before...if u can cross river Niger..u will not type that u just did..and I'm sure u are still young...I'm young too but I av traveled and I am curious..

Take it or leave it...those guys are fucking industrious..

The land of Igbo can't be enough for the Igbos in business.. I was shocked to find out that in many Yoruba states..like Ibada...some markets are fully dominated by Igbo business men and women..

While in south east...igbos still dominate their markets.


It tells u one thing...those guys are fucking industrious ..

Do u know why civil service jobs are not all that attractive in south east? The people prefer to manufacture and do business...this is why it looks as if their governors can pay salaries..or are working...no..unlike the other parts of Nigeria where govt jobs are kings...making it difficult for governors of such regions to meet up with salary issues..

My guy girl friend is from bayelsa state..do u know she buys her finished products from Aba? She graduated few years ago and she went into trading...she has contacts of manufacturers of her products in aba..


Do u knoq how many people travel from Port Hacout to Aba to buy finished products every day? Abi u sabi people who travel from Akwa ibom to Aba to buy made in Aba products..my guy...my ex class mate in the unn...his parents have been buying and selling made in aba products for more than 15 years now..

Abi...u think sey...igbos in Aba will just wake up...travel to Lagos..import goods and sell to people who travel from south south...south west and north? Does that make sense to u?

All these guys wey dey travel from Ibadan go onitsha no sabi Lagos abi? My guy...I dey travel a lot..baba..make u travel and learn , okay..

my friend answer the question. What do u manufacture that other part of the country does not? all those goods you are importing from outside no be manufacturing oooo

lordyugo:
u stayed in anambra whr every village is like a town nd u still said we cant develop our communities? Then u must really be a liar .aside lagos hw are sw villages or communities dats evn goin far, start wit their capitals

heeyy!!! Na lie. Building big house for village does not make the village a town. Plus you know dey land no dey.

mightyhazell:
am comfortable as tins r . My pity is for the poorest of the poor in nigeria(we know the ppl in this category). These ppl don't deserve all dese sufferings. Or u think the average igboman understands the meaning of recession? Think again son.

Those who complain are obviously the one who can't find satisfaction where they are so I must include you my brother. I not the richest of man but I know that wealth comes from God and that if God has allowed you, you should be able to stand up and go find honest chop. I can't wait for no government but I can do it with my people. But you, you want to blame others for your difficulties it is not fair to you becuz you wasting your energy and time. What have you done at your community level probably nothing. We are all in it togheter.

lordyugo:
how would u knw if igbo communities are developed when u hv dat afonja genetic malfunction of fear to travel out ur brown roof regions nd hustle or are u from lagos state too?loool.
dnt evn get me started on sw communities cos its best depicted as a horror movie. Why not travel to se during festive period for any event nd I promise u ul hate being an afonja

I stayed in Enugu and anambra before I know what I'm saying.

0xtr001r:
Which lands are you ranting about - Oshogbo, Abeokuta, Owo, Ibarapa, Saki, or the No Man's Land developed by the blood and sweats of other tribes in Nigeria coupled with the crude oil wealth from the East?

OKkk una wan claim SW inside Biafra now. Dieriz God.

0xtr001r:
That's what the Igbos are currently doing so face OduaArewanistan republic and mind your despicable ritual-killing and cannibalism business...

Apparently its not working

mightyhazell:
ok,wot abt now? Why do u still thrash and spasm at the mere mention of secession or biaf,,. Or are we conjoined by nature?

Look if u r not happy at your state you should be thinking about leaving the country all together. Becuze we united and united we can change the plights of our people. Go to China or US or whatever like majority of IPOB people. IPOB get they headquarters in US and UK ooooo. Don't mind this people oooo they using you ooooo.

0xtr001r:
I understand your unstable nature, but it will pay you to channel your negative energies towards consolidating OduaArewanistan republic...

you should channel your own energy to cast the devil out of you

See them lying propagandists doing what they know how to do best in this expired entity...

"For Lagos State, more than 70% of the manufacturing concerns and major industries in the State are owned by the Igbos. If the Igbos were to stop paying tax in Lagos State, the IGR of Lagos State will reduce by over 60%. In contrast, Sir, go to the South East and look at the manufacturing concerns in Onitsha, Aba and Nnewi. Please don't forget those were areas ravaged by civil war a mere forty something years ago. The Igbos have certainly made tremendous progress but the Yoruba nation has regressed. I wish to state that this letter is not meant to whip up primordial considerations or ethnic sentiments but just to put things in proper perspective."

then take your shit back to Igbo land. Why are you still in the west ant the north.

0xtr000r:
If you're honest and sincere you'd support the clamour for a simple referendum and self-determination by IPOB.

If you aren't a hypocrite you'd condemn your Yoruba tribesmen shamelessly making a living out of Igbos quest for nationhood.

Have you ever asked for one? You just say divide!!! You will out you're alone
