THE NORTH: OUR HOME!

I am not looking back at the past glory of Northern Nigeria because of mischief or to show that it is better off than other regions, because other regions have their glories as well, rather, as the son of the north, I am looking back with nostalgic feelings, disturbed with disappointing realities of the today's North.

Though that does not mean the north is not the only place in The world with challenges, however, it is my home and I don't need any body to tell me the problems of my home, is high time we start telling ourselves the truth that the north after more than a thousand years of Glory, we fail to keep up to the expectation of our ancestors, fail to build up on their Glory, and build a promising future to our children but rather wantonly destroy their (our ancestors) legacy, is high time we tell our self the truth and look inward.

Though I shall always be optimistic about the North I believe the north is a mere shadow of its old glories and we are now being the subject of ridicule and laughing stuff. Before saying anything less look back through the anal of history to see some of our past glories.

THE NORTH IN THE PAST

The North, the home of the ancient Nok civilization, a sculpture that shows that a civilization have been there in the North for about 2000 years before the coming of Jesus as discovered by archaeologists.

The North was once the home of the renowned Kanem Borno Empire that survived for a thousand years, arguably the oldest Empire in Africa and one of the oldest in the World with its famous Saifawa dynasty that ruled it for thousand years (800-1800 a.d) as the longest ruling dynasty in Africa and second in the world after the Japanese ruling dynasty.

The North was the home of the famous historical home of commerce and industry (Kano) with the Kurmi market built in the 15thc, by Muhammad Rumfa and the complex trade routes that led directly to North Africa. The home of tanning, dying and craft industries.

The North, home of Muhammad Korau where the Korau dynasty transformed Katsina into literate Islamic Kingdom, with the Gobarau mosque serving as University in the 16thc second only to the Sankore mosque in Timbuktu south of the Sahara.

The North, the Home of the Nupe Kingdom, home of tsedo, with their glass and iron works that she was once compared as the Black Byzantine.

The North, the home of the Jukun Kwararrafa Empire, the Central plateau that produce abundant food and agile population of Nigeria.

The North the home of the famous Hausa States with striking architecture, commerce and governance, the first place to adopt writing system in Nigeria in form of Ajami.

The North, the first Place to experience the advent of Islam in Nigeria.

The North, the most fertile region in Nigeria adorned with the waters of river Benue and river Niger, the home of hills, valleys, plateaus, and mountains, the home of nature and open grass land.

The north, the home of agriculture, the food basket of the land, the home of farmers and pastoralist, fisher men, the home of cotton and groundnut pyramids.

The North, the Home of Shiekh Usman Fodio and Sheikh All Amin Alkanemi, revolutionary scholars that change the political pattern of Nigeria in the 19thc and impacted changes in the West African region.

The north, the seat of the Sokoto Caliphate that became a sophisticated State and one of the largest in Africa with administrative structure that even the British Marvelled at.

The north, the Home of Queen Amina and Nana Asama'u bint Fodio the former a champion warrior Queen and the latter champion of princess, entrepreneur, leadership and education in the 19th c.

The North, the Home of Muslims, Christians, pagans and animist, the home of different ethnic groups with diversity which is the beauty of nature. Where our ancestors lived in harmony and war and inter related in areas such as trade, intermarriage, festivals, etc as neighbors despite their differences for more than thousand years.

The North, the home of Morality and discipline, the home of integrity and honesty, the home of neighbourliness.

The North the home of textile industries to the extent that Kaduna was once described as the Manchester of Nigeria because of its Textile Industries.

The north, The most populous and largest part of Nigeria that determines the political outcome of Nigeria.

The north, the home of Sardauna, tafawa Balewa, Tarka, Malam AMINU Kano, Sir Kashim Ibrahim. The Home of Hausa's, Fulani, Angas, Kataf, Gbagi Zuru, Kanuri, Kambari, tiv, Bade, Jukun, Nupe, Atyap, Kare Kare marghi, Idoma, Igala, Yoruba, Igbira and host of others.

The north..... Our Home, our pride, our heritage.

WHAT WENT WRONG WITH US NOW?

Why is the north bleeding??

WHY NOT HOLD TO OUR PAST GLORIES?

NOW The North needs unity than ever, we are being subjected to ridicule now, despite the fact that we were once highly respected.

We are victims of insecurity despite our control of the mantle of leadership and security agencies.

Our common heritage have being demolish by us. The Bank of The North, Our textiles our schools, NNDC, ETC.

If You ask me to sum up our collective problem in the North I will call it lack of visionary, cable, charismatic, astute, dedicative, intelligent, selfless and patriotic leadership for quit a long time. The North needs leadership, leader ship and leader ship.

What is facing us today in the north is a matter of life and death, it is a quest for survival, is either we live together in Harmony and combat our common enemy or die one after another disunited, among the very values our ancestors taught us is unity, non of our ancestors taught us division, Sardauna took the north as single home with all it's citizens as his children.

We can't set our home ablaze with our own hands and destroy the legacy of our fathers. No where on earth would be our home other than the north, we can only live as residents, guest or refugees outside the north.

Why destroying it then, with out internal culprits external forces however powerful they may be can not destroy us. We allow crooks and criminals disguise as politicians and religious leaders to divide us when they work out things for their families and leave us at the mercy of the crook system.

The north is our only home, our pride, our heritage, we have no any home than the north. This is what our ancestors built and this is where our children shall call their home, what type of home are we building for them?

Thank God for some our leaders who are now waking up and doing the right thing,some states are now heading to the right direction and the government is massively investigating in education and human development.

But we still need more actions we must begin to call spade a spade and begin to unite regardless of tribe or religion.

Our common enemies are our selfish politicians who are only interested in looting and playing politics with human lives.

God bless Arewa.

As for development we are gradually getting there

espionagesavvy:
How sustainable is this as it is non renewable

Ritchiee:
lol

A whole bus of Igbos just arrived and we have begun to mine their heads one by one.

Ojiofor:
No no no no my people are not into skull mining and the era of head hunting is far gone.
Next time you wish to visit again pls inform me on time.

Gabkosh:
Tinubu.


The main cause of backwardness in alaigbo.


Tinubu, the main cause of communal clash in Anambra, between, in abia, between ebonyi and Benue, between cross river and abia .


Below is ohafia

Ojiofor:
Make you no fear,I dey Bende,just give me your address in Ohafia make I come take you out .

Ritchiee:
Look at your people queueing up to come to Yorubaland for their heads to be mined.

Dedetwo:
Lagos might have been an enclave of Awori people to large extent, Yari.ba peeps. However Lagos was once the capital of Nigeria hence ceases to be the enclave of Yari.ba. The silly appoint was a total waste of time. I guess this Sanwo Olu of Yari.ba descendant is bored as governor of Lagos State.

blakkydikky:
...more than New York because you people cant survive without Lagos. If it's a lie,ask Ngige "I'm a Lagos boy". He didnt claim New york nor his state.

bptc10:
This Bullion Van matter will nail Tinubu in this country and will possibly land him in prison, mark my word

Ejanla07:
The guy have no relevance to Ndigbo in lagos.. Its just an appointment to massage thr ego

Muna4real:
What is wrong with nairalanders? Nobody would be doubting this if this man is from ogun state .

okeyfrank:
All the rant about the Igbos developing the Eastern Region is simply a waste of time.
Igbos cannot develop Lagos, and leave the place for you.
The Federal Govt strangulated development in the Eastern Region after the Biafran Genocide, and kept preaching 'One Nigeria'
Since there were no Fed Govt presence in the East and the Sea Ports closed, the Easterners took their trades to the West.
They painstakingly labored to acquire businesses and assets in Lagos and the West, most of which were sold to them by the 'lazy' ones among the Yorubas.
These are the people now ranting about the Igbos going to create their own VI in the East, as if it was not mainly the Igbos and the Federal govt that made VI and other developed places in Lagos what they are today.

Igbos have come to stay in Lagos and the west should understand that clearly.
Even when Biafra and Oduduwa Republics are actualized, the Yoruba and Igbo assets in the East and West will definitely be preserved for the owners; no more properties to be termed, 'Abandoned Properties'.

Better go and hustle for your own.
If you are waiting for when Igbos will abandon their businesses and assets in Lagos for you, you will be waiting forever.

Guestlander:
I can do that with probably one bus, how many trains will you need to remove your uncles and their children from Yorubaland?

Superwave:

Suddenly, Metaphysical has either dined with the deads or is now seeing thoughts

Dedetwo:
As usual, the above is a selective idiocy at play.

frankyychiji:
Metaphysical wants to force Tinubu into declaring his presidential ambition
Please let the man be, he is still studying the situation because he wouldn't want to be charred badly by the CPC Hawks.

I will advise Jagaban to ignore you completely.
