LET US VOMIT OUT THE SOUTHERN HOOK, LINE AND SINKER


Northern Nigeria has more graduates and Professors than South Africa. The real problem is not as Southerners paint it and you echo it like empty halls. 


Practically, millions of Northerners are either unemployed, misemployed, or underemployed. Our problem is our chances are blocked and our resources dominated by Southerners who paint the wrong picture for fools to believe them.


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? The south said so and it is?


What we need is a  political economic solution. We must take control of our local markets, our institutions and our businesses in their land must be given due attention and protection and any act of disruption by way of constant destruction must be paid back in due measure without listening to their victimship outcries. They fear separation more than us because their weak economic foundation, especially the west entirely dependent on controlling  government resources.


We must ask and take our fair share of every government employment at whatever cost. No people has ever prospered when their resources, oppurtunities and chances are blocked and dominated by others.  Our constant preachment of peace must stop: justice and and equity must be our new slagon. 


The real problem is believing in the propaganda of the enemies which saps our resourcefulness and infuse our senses with feelings of backwardness that really do not exist, or are caused by false perception. The greatest defeat one can suffer is to see oneself as projected by one's enemies. 


Almajiri is system suffocated by lack of finance. Poverty is a direct result of economic domination and exclusion. Degrees are not unavailable. Marrying four wives will not stop as it is never a problem but a great social system. Once we assert control on what is rightly ours, that self concious timidity will evaporate and be replaced by confidence and bold enterprise. 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.


Try asking for propotionate representation in all government employment in all institutions and at all levels, they will cry out about mediocrity supplanting merit as if those half literates southerners dominating the place are Einstein incanates. Or they will blackmail you with Islamization.


Try treating their traders in our markets as they treat ours and they will cry xenophobia as if the regular denial of market space, heavy taxation, constant disruption of business and officially sanctioned harrassment of our traders in their land does not exist.


Try replacing Southern union leaders and foreign sponsored NGOs operating in the North with our own people and they will start wailing about marginalization.


Well, their era of dominance and false propaganda is coming to an end with the coming of age of young northerners who could no longer accept marginalization because of blackmail or threat. These new bold Northern youth have seen how southerners cowered when asked to leave the North two years ago. Their cries for secession are empty ruse. 


We will be better off without them and they will definitely be worse off without us. They know we lack nothing, while their millions selling substandard, fake good, drugs and inrdinately high interest bank loans fleecing the north and feeding on cheap food and services will have nothing on returning back home. Their franchise firms and industries will lose over 100 million costumers overnight which is more than their home market demand. 


Soon we will ask for equity or call it quit. We know who we are and we know our strength.

I wonder how northerners think and react to issues.....now that it has come to VAT disbursement issue, they arecrying and shouting but kept quiet over the VAT generation in there states. How can you destroy alcoholic and wine consumption tax and still expect to share same from other states who welcome beers and alcoholic drinks, is it not hypocrisy?

I praise the people who started this VAT fight!

Words on Marble

It’s a reality that southern states can’t get justice in the present day Nigeria judiciary filled with Fulani and sharia complaint judges ,up to the Supreme Court.
My advice to the southern Governors feeling cheated by VAT sharing formula, they should go ahead to enact laws to collect sales tax in their states. It’s left for companies in those states to decide to pay vat or sales tax and where to run their businesses. Afterall, tax matters are under concurrent list of the constitution.

Oh

6 years of Southerners, Christians & their Clergy preaching Islamization agenda but they have steadily built more & bigger mega churches complete with schools in the North since then!
6 years of Southerners & Christians making political capital out of the sponsored insecurity in the North but they have steadily acquired more properties, built bigger & more successful businesses including farms since then in the North!!
Who is fooling who?

Stop weeping, pained man!

Such a long epistle but is didn't take me time to read it. Because am interested to be joined in your argument. Without much a do, I will like us to start this issue of correcting the injustice and subjugation of the North as you claim by immediately ending two things.

The quota system of Educational cut-off marks and allowing a level playing field for all students irrespective of the Goepolitical zone, also I want us to also extend that to employment in the MDAs without any interference. Let all be given equal opportunity to jostle for available positions and be taken on merit without any traditional or religious leader being of influence.

You claimed that the Southerners have taken over your markets, without addent refusal to leave, even in faces of obvious intemidation, shouldn't that be an advantage for you to allow every state collect it's value added tax, since the tax is levied on every good(s) consumed, and considering the fact that, the Southerners are known for Luxurious and ostentatious lifestyle, it should be a plus. But instead you have been writing long epistles since days kicking against it. A clear sign that you might be hypocritical in your assertions and write up.

If I might also get you Right, you claimed that, oil contributes about ten (10) percent to the Gross Domestic Product GDP of Nigeria while which other resource owned by the North contributes the remaining percent with the south engaging in mainly illicit activities. Okay let me buy into your argument. Let the North allow the South to be wallowing in their decit and continue to decieve themselves. Let the North seek for resource control and leave the South to control their few resources too.

Who is fooling who?

If your assertions are anything to go by, who then are the ones profiting from the growing insecurity and banditry in the North since your Lord and Master took over the Saddle of Leadership. The Northerners. Because since your president took over power no Southerners has ever held the saddle as either Defence Minister, National Security Adviser or Chief of Defence Staff. so the North is their problem. If you like keep decieving yourself.

@Ibkhaleel001 I have read all posts on this topic, pages 1 - 8 so far (yes, I have got some time to waste). You obviously feel entitled and pained on behalf of your people. You made all manners of assertions to justify your stance and for all you posts and comments about the north being peaceful, being the biggest region with the largest population, I sighed cos I was born and bred in the north and lived amongst our brothers on that side. The truth is northern Nigeria has been the most unfair and most parasitic in the geopolitical relationship called Nigeria. You argued based on several points, but here below are some sincere facts that I think you are your ilk should ponder on:

1. Violence: You conveniently forgot all the riots that happened up north (Katsina Maitasine, Bauchi, Jos, Sokoto, Kaduna, Kano etc) with mostly southerners being the targets of death and destruction by rampaging mobs, sometimes driven by twisted sermons from religious leaders. The people of Jos had been attacked and killed severally before they were forced to start reacting. Till today, they are being attacked and killed but you remembered that they ate flesh (which was bad enough) to show that they too could be mad; after-all no region has monopoly of violence just that some people loves peace (not northerners like you claim) so much hence they don't react when marauding fulani herdsmen come killing. Imagine where this country would have been if every community react to the provocations of the Hausa-Fulani.

2. Biggest size/Largest population: So I ask what is the use of biggest size and population when most of them are unproductive? Ah! The Elections. OK. I believe that even if FIRS reserves the right to share VAT it should never be by population or geographic size but by how productivity of such geography or population. Truthfully, we cannot continue to reward laziness and as someone said, any fool can marry plenty wives and have multiple children. I have no issues with having multiple wives since you claim it helps abate social ills, granted. However, the number of kids per wife probably has to be curtailed cos right now what the north has given to Nigeria is a population problem, but if your leaders are smart, they can easily turn such a huge liability to assets and the only way is to provide free child and adult education. But again, how can greedy and selfish leaders retain power if the populace are enlighted? GEJ, wanted to help in that regard by building the schools for the almajarai, I guess you know that ended. Boko Haram provided an alternative that was embraced by your elites, now the chicken has come home to roost.

3. VAT Matters: I would not even over-flog this. I cannot be paying VAT which would be given to other states that are hardly productive in any sense of the word. On the flip side I see this state collection of VAT as a positive thing (if your leaders would be smart). Instead of insulting people on Nairaland with half-truths and poorly written articles, call your politically-inclined friends and family and brainstorm on how to make your states more economically viable or help your leaders to think creatively. Do you know how many southerners have never crossed the Niger? Why can't you think of a plan together with hoteliers, tour operators, government security agencies, airlines, cultural guides etc to invite people from the south to tour northern cities safely. You can only imagine the amount of jobs that can be created and businesses that would pay taxes from this example. On the flip side, imagine doing all this HARDWORK and your tax is used to reward some people who choose to sleep all day. Then you would be required to do it all over next month and the month after that. The Good Book says a worker deserves his wages.

In conclusion, it takes so much energy to insult and respond to insults on Nairaland. if I were you all the insults received on this platform would make me so angry that I would gather my family and friends to brainstorm on how to use resources (human and otherwise) to grow the region in a sustainable manner, then try to influence the people and govt to work hard and delivery success; after all success is the best revenge. But again, I am not you!

Take good care man!

Ibkhaleel001:
The sectors that will contribute most to the GDP and create the most jobs and wealth to the Nigerian economy in the next 20, 30, 50 and 100 years are manufacturing, agriculture/food processing, construction/real estate, financial services. Tech won't be in the top 60 to 70%.
I took my time to study the dynamics of our socio-economic construct. Tech will remain what it is. An enabler. Much of the legacy systems and platforms have already been built. The United States leads the pack in the technology economy. Specifically Software, Internet and Media. Followed closely by China, who also leads the pack in hardware technology. The wealth creation indices speaks to their technological foundation. India has done well with developing human resource to service the top developed tech economies and ecosystems.
America is the only country where the wealthiest are from the tech industry (software, internet, media and hardware).
In China, according to the top 30 wealthiest ranking of 2021, only 33% are from tech. The remaining 66% are from Food, Pharmaceuticals, real estate, manufacturing.
Europe's biggest companies are in the fashion industry. They play big in infrastructure, automobile, retail, beverage and snacks. The biggest tech export out of Europe is SAP. A company that started in the 70s.
In India, the wealth of the richest comes from Pharmaceuticals (Drug and Vaccine manufacturing), Banking, Manufacturing (Cement and metal), Retail, Telecoms, Manufacturing, financial services and tech. Of course, tech is represented by HCL, which is one of the largest software services exporters in the world with presence I. Over 45 countries.
The sizes of wealth created by each industries is one of the easiest pointers to where the most economic opportunities can be developed.
Africa will miss it if it gets fixated and obsessed with technology to the detriment of the sizes of opportunities that other sectors represents, especially their relevance to our unique socio-economic construct.
We should pay more attention to areas of advantages that hold true economic potentials to create wealth and jobs beyond the hype.

But you trust Chinedu in port Harcourt high court right? Una never see anything yet, supreme court will clear your doubt pretty soon. Before oil was discovered the north took care of the south with its resources nobody complained but loom at how you people are acting now.

Lies when repeated several times seems true to ill informed people. When did a kobo from the north sustain the south when we had enough cocoa down west and palm oil down the east? Disregard those lies told by your elites for it would do you no good.

MyExpression:
You seem active online. And you're so persuaded about your ideologies.

These things need wider dissemination and a broad deliberation.

If your truth is the fact, we all should embrace it. If it is false, it should be put right.

The earlier the better...coz knowledge spreads.

LMAO. Ibkhakeel001 has nothing to offer. Be warned and stay away. He's just an educated unfortunate Almajiri.

MyExpression:
Bros, I want to have a discussion with you.
I would like to know more bout your ideologies.

Can you host a Facebook live, let's talk...or YouTube live session or zoom.

I want more people from different perspective to engage in a civil dialogue to share our differing opinions, to see from each other's point of view.

We all hold our sentimental views strongly.
Instead of being enemies, can we have a real-time discussion to unlearn, learn and relearn from each other...and show empathy to each person's mindset.

Wrong!

*Only three top positions were allotted to the entire Southern Nigeria.*
*What happened to federal character? What’s the job of the Federal Character Commission? Do we have a National Assembly? What the hell is wrong with the members of National Assembly? Where’s the Senate oversight committee on NNPC? Where are the activists?*
The North produces nothing and contributes zero revenue to the central purse in Abuja. Yet, the North gulps 99 per cent of the revenue*
Nepotism results in bias, unfair treatment, and exclusion of others. Nepotism.
LAMIDO's Confession
*Fulanis with no sea shore are controlling Yoruba seaports and NPA, Fulanis with no single barrel of crude oil are controlling the NNPC. Minority fulanis with a population of less than 10 million are controlling the Yoruba nation that is over 60 million people.
Minority fulanis who occupy the poorest region in Nigeria are the ones controlling the taxes, industries and revenue of Yorubaland.
Minority fulanis control the judiciary, the military, the police , the air force, Civil defense and the immigration while the Yoruba nation is held up like a slave in a plantation.
*Go to Apapa wharf, Tin can Island, NPA, Nigerian Customs all over Yoruba land, the fulanis are ruling supreme.
Any society where the minority rules the majority, it is an apartheid system of government.
