Who cares.

Find a Christian school and train your own child. Leave them and their foooqin family/culture.

If the world richest Man cared just like me, a nobody like you is not to be taken serious. This is slave mentality. What you cared for is what you will eat not minding the good future of your kids.

You've made a good observation.

This could actually be the reason why there are more Northeners in top government offices. I know a customs officer (well remunerated) from the South that resigned from his job and traveled abroad.

Our best brains are not in Nigeria. I've long noticed that one

LOL at well remunerated.

How many of them earn up to 500k.

The glorious days of those professions are all gone!

The customs, immigrations and other paramilitary organizations now rely on bribes to live well in Nigeria.

I was in Nigeria recently to get a 10 years passport, just come and see the way they were all begging for money knowing well I just arrived from North America, they have no shame at all.

Imagine grown up men begging for 5k.

Let me tell you. Most Northerners in many agencies that pay well are well connected. Go and see the type of work they do in those offices. No stress , no problem. Soft work.
2. There is what is called quota system. Do you think if 99% of an agency is from the south and it is the turn of the north they will let a southern person occupy the position? They will bring someone from outside e go shock you. Keep eyeing that position and don't see how you will Japa and better your life. This country system and processes is awkward. Let those who Japa to Japa. I have seen northerners schooling abroad and a position in a juicy agency is kept for him until he returns. Levels dey for north. Maybe when it is only the north and a few southerners in the office they will scrap federal character. But my brother e go long.

Good morning ladies and gentlemen, this article is based on my personal experience.

I work with a High profile federal government parastatal with good remuneration.

We were 100 that was employed in 2013 drawing from South and North.
We have been promoted 3 times and expecting another promotion.

But something is disturbing me as a Southerner from South East.
About 25 persons from my set have resigned and relocated abroad. Only 2 are still in Nigeria.

It is more shocking that this 25 persons are all from the South. Either South West or South East or South South.

My fear is the implications when our set will get to the pick.
No northerner had resigned or thinking of resigning as at today.

The future implications is that they will occupy majority of the apex positions in this parastatal and the south will start shouting marginalization and why all top directors are from the north.

The last meeting I had at the NNPCL Head quarter's Abuja saw 99% of Top Management Staff from the north.

During The introduction of members I was shaking my head. This bring me to ask, could this issue I am experiencing in my own organization be the same in NNPCL?

Currently a Lady I know in NNPCL resigned and moved to Canada. You already know the future implications to the South when her set will get to the top.

Why are Southerners relocating and leaving their beautiful jobs why the northerners are comfortably enjoying the same work.

Is this greed on the south or that our problems are too much?

I taunt my friend from sokoto some days ago why he doesn't want to japa, he laughed and answered me, to do what over there?

Why are the southerners the only people who sees reasons to japa?
Knowing that we can not live past 100 yrs and we can not go anywhere with all this wealth.

Remember the higher a southerner become a director, the higher the chance of Southerners getting employment in this organizations.

If you work with a good federal government agency share your thoughts.

Are you experiencing the same in your organization?

Hotguy27:
There is something many people who haven't traveled don't understand. For them to have stayed for 15 years in the UK, it is highly possible they already have their own houses there in addition to better opportunities their kids have in terms of jobs or quality of life.
It is also possible that they don't fancy Nigeria again and so don't feel like investing back home. But if they wish to do so, they can achieve that in a short possible time.

Most guys in the UK are afraid of visiting home just because of insecurity in Nigeria.

That's what u think.. These are people I speak with on weekly basis. The earlier you understand that life is not easy anywhere, the better

Chief I'm from the South and in Abuja, I don't mind dropping my cv with you so if something comes along

fastseo:
Like i said u wont understand the term insecurity until u are out of Nigeria.

Point one insecurity in the UK.

I believe u are in Abuja or lagos in an area that is securely protected.


Lastly i have seen a good number of people who have experience in service sectors.. Accountant, audit etc with valuable years of experience from Nigeria getting jobs outside the UK. I know of one that got employed in one of thr Scandinavian countries and one an engineer in London although he didn't get a job for almost 8 months but with time he got what aligns with his profession.

So its a matter of time. Patients is highly needed in this japa stuff

So a place where someone will shoot and kill little school children is safe for you?
If your kid is among the ones killed you will better how it feels.
Just on Friday a guy was killed in Chicago by a random shooter and you saying what again?

Am not in US rather UK and all European countries are like that.. Secured and protected. Call police and within 5 minutes they are with u.

U can walk on the way 20 kilometers in an hour of night and nothing will do u.

The US u are pointing at has an issue with gun availability to everyone so what do u expect while in the uk no one is given that chance. Even police dont use gun except in terror cases.

In Abuja for example u can't drive at night while in uk here u can drive from Scotland to London with no fear of anything. Zero cases of kidnapping if it happens its something then its an act of terrorism.

In the past.. 2010 to even 2016 its unheard of that a banker..i mean a staff of the bank just resign and travel its highly impossible. Same thing to do with lecturers,they only go to do their courses outside and they are back. But today everyone is just tired cos of the leadership we end up having so the best brains who knows that they can compete in a world of merit are leaving

I know u want the best for Nigeria which we all want but u should understand that people have lost hope on the government and the insecurity issues in the country affects them. The northerners are facing same issues but maybe they are cool with it or have hopes soon things will turn out right.

We have seen a lot of them telling us the mistakes they made.
If there is no Igboman in my set in the next 15 years, then no Igboman will be a director as at then so we should not be chanting marginalization when we marginalized ourselves because of greed.

Which greed

Most of you don't even understand what APC did to Nigeria

Her best brains have all gone overseas and many more are going

APC s economic policy destroyed the middle class

This is not just federal civil service

Even the private sector

Why do you think is the reason why many Nigerian Banks systems have been failing?

The best brains are all gone

One guy raised alarm that all the major accounting firms
Most of there best brains have all relocated to the US UK Canada EU Australia, New Zealand

The havoc that was done to Nigeria in 2015
Destabilized almost every system

The West gained the brain drain

My sister a manager in Telecom company left Nigeria with her husband and children to Canada in 2018

She and her husband said they knew where Nigeria was heading to

Guess what

By 2023 they got there Canadian passport

She now travels around the world
No restrictions

She also got a very good job with a Fortune 500 multinational

Nigeria had brains

But the politicians didn't maximize this God given talent for Nigeria

You are wrong bro. My uncle gave over 2,000 southerners Job during his time because he got to the top. I am a beneficiary.
Another of his beneficiary was just appointed permanent secretary recently.
He has started giving southerners Job too.
The problem is us not the northerners.
Imagine having 30 people climb up the ladder and 7 of them are Southerners, it will still be good because 7 southerners will get Job but if among the 30 no southerner, the FG can not appoint a junior southerner when there are seniors from the north. Never.
Let me tell you.
My uncle gave people Job in many government agencies and parastatals. Some are DPOs, Controllers both in immigration and customs, some are Captains in Army, navy and Air Force. They are climbing with their set, if they remain till their pick, one of them must join the top ladder because federal character is still being used where you have personnel across the geopolitical regions.
Greed is stopping us from taking what belongs to us.

Eating Nigerian food is quite expensive. They should adjust to the meals available there. Nigerian meals give diabetes. The oyibo options should be better health-wise. Maybe they don't want you to come over and compete with them. The same happens on Nairaland. Ask how much they make and how much they send home. Ask the ones you remember for being honest.

Hogwarthtrades:
This narrative of dumb north is a stale one, whoever keeps using that is using it at his or her own peril (figuratively). if you have lived with the elite or upper middle-class of the north, You will know they are always playing 3D chess Long game. Acting dumb, but very very calculative. The civil service and the military is a funnel to the end game which is power. The mentality is that of abundance from social capital.Hence, sojourning out of comfort zone beyond seeking education is quite uncommon.

a. business man -> mingle with the elite, grow your business-> stay politically relevant in the shadows to guard your business interest.

b. civil service or Military -> mingle with the elite through religious activities or business interest -> retire-> join public service.






NO be JuJu be that?

No need to argue much, go and check the current jamb or waec performance. The North has been the poorest performing region by far for decades. So let not deceive ourselves.

Hogwarthtrades:
Comment like that just show low effort and possibly no interaction with the northern region. It's the run of the mill typical erroneous stereotype / lores from previous generation.

Sadly, the same mistake made by the past is currently happening in real time. To reconfigure the system at this pace will take a generation starting with the young ones interested in joining the civil service and other areas.

You are probably a northern and I understand your sentiments. The truth is the north is the illiterate capital of Nigeria. That's an undisputed fact. The quota system hasn't helped them either.

Denying this fact only worsens the situation. They earlier you guys come to this realisation the earlier you tackle the problem.

The average northern can't compete with their peer in other parts of Nigeria, not to talk of globally. You rarely see them outside of the country, and the simple reason is that they can't compete. They only thrive on quota system. They have achieved nothing on merit.

Why stay in an organisation that does not improve you. No training, no growth. Only salaries and promotions. There is what is called job satisfaction and living wage. That's what the southerners go for , the northerners prefer to sit, lazy around, get promotions and collect platry sum as salary.

Just read through the thread and it's quite hilarious. I found it so because of the deep level of ignorance youv shown all of the thread. It's stark obvious youv not left the shores of Nigeria, even for a vist.

You might think you are living the best life with your federal govt job, but one thing I can assure you is that you are just wasting away.

It's possible you have tried to leave the country but you couldn't, making you resort to this cheap emotional foolrey of you living the best life in your govt job.

A desire to eat more food than is necessary.
Based on the definitions above, if you are comfortable to have all the basic life amenities such as, house, cars, Good Jobs, good family and investment etc and you abandon all these or sold your property to japa for the sake of dollars and pounds, you are greedy.
