I agree with the Lere guy.

those people are something else, whenever they see money they marry more wives and have many children that they can't take care of, that's why almajiri is very rampant in the north.

Julianashama:
There is no substance in this at all.

Seriously? Are you kidding?

obeegee:
Nah nah

Those people you see begging on the roads in Abuja are mostly people displaced from conflict zones. They usually have nowhere else to go. Hence, they come to the most lucrative part of the country for begging.

Insecurity is the bigger problem.

Actually the man having 17 children is good for the country. Where do you think the labor comes from to cultivate lands in the north to grow the food we all desperately need?

Your position is entirely wrong.

Good for the country? How? Who would feed them? When they can't afford basic life, where do they turn to? How do standardized societies provide labour?

Why on God's earth would a man earning N60k have three wives and 15 children, or more?

Illiteracy, poverty, terrorism, banditry, etc...why do you think they thrive more up north?

Chijeep:
The major problem the northern side have is lack of Education and Christianity

They are more educated than you and also try to respect people's religion.

shame on on them and their yeye governance ideology.

there was never a time poverty is not in jubilation state in Nigeria or African countries as a whole.
as far as memory can permit me, so called president was a well grown adult when OFN was lunched way back then prioritizing food security. I grew to know what is called 'iyan Buhari' meaning Buhari's pounded yam. all these were nicknames given to the food items door step delivery intervention programs that we enjoyed as a growing child and our parents appreciated till date. Reasons why our parents who were school teachers with such meager income were able to sponsor 3, 4 kids through University same time.

Talking about the toddlers scouting around Abuja roads for means of survival, at what point has it become a concern to him if not for the embarrassment it posses on him siting such heartrending situation they've constantly swept under the carpet. must every hungry Nigerians pick up a plastic bowl to beg for alms before this government feel concern?? because some people's condition is worse than what you see the kids doing on the street.

I have gone to eat at an eatery where an average age Nigerian youth whisper in my ears that I should please assist him by leaving a little leftover that he would know how to pick up my plate afterwords.. when I interacted with him, he wasnt actually a begger, he had stayed two days without food and he had to stay out of jod because the salary couldnt cater for transportation and coupled with several other factors..

Northerners have embraced their problems over years and surviving through whichever means, why is the government trying to downplay its primary responsibility to the nation as a whole..

people have landed properties that had been abandoned for fear of banditry. it takes grace of God to leave for work in the morning and come back home safely without a story that touch..

in the space of 4 days, my street was robbed twice. this is a street that has police post 300 meters away..
we put a call across to police, the DPO responded with sleepy voice and it took over three hours before they eventually called back that they didnt have fuel to move and they couldnt locate the particular street on foot.

I think the Government should just be focused on its responsibilities to its citizen before pointing accusing fingers.

'Na papa wey get property fit get mouth to say e wan disown pikin no be the one wey pikin don already know say in no get anything to gain from the papa afterall..'

All this epistle and grammar and still couldn't deliver.

Asuch as I dislike the APC/Tinubu/Wike/Lere and their likes, it doesn't take salt away from this truth as spoken by Mr Lere Olayinka.

Be objective always and do not let hate becloud your sense of judgement.

Na so witchcraft take dey start o.

Mariangeles:
You know, you're not far from the truth.

I was shocked when the aboki supplying water said he has built two houses back home, and is saving to buy motor.
All on supplying water o.
And they work so hard too, from morning till late in the evening.

Truth is, opportunities abound in Nigeria, and only a few see them.

They are also not materialistic in nature so once the Maslow's hierachy of needs is satisfied, the rest is extra to them. It's those in cities like Lagos who want to have the biggest mansion, biggest car, extra buttocks etc. They are close to nature and contentment. This is why their elites take advantage of this simple life to buy all the luxury and pretend to be simple.

my bad...
sorry..

Nigeria is not the first country to experience growing population problem. When India's population was getting beyond control, the government has to enact a law to control the growth of their population. India population is over 1 billion, yet their country is not a backward nation like Nigeria. Curruption is the main problem of Nigeria and until that is resolved, Nigeria will continue to be a backward nation. Sikena

while this your epistle is true, but you still missed the point Lere was driving at, how could over thousands children abandoned on the street in the name of culture or religion in the north.

Franking:
Indeed they are dominating. Literally. The sheer number of northern youths in the south is alarming. So many are even from Nigeria and Chad....we can't tell the difference.

like I always say, they are all a. b. o k I
chad, Niger, Cameroon, Sudan, Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Iran, Iraq, turkiye, oman, Turkistan, Lebanon etc
na the same

I saw a story recently that made me vwry emotional
A man's wife died after child birth, she had five babies but one died remaining four
The man said ultrasound saw just 3 babies during her pregnancy but she delivered five
After giving birth she kept repeating that she might not survive this but the husband should make sure he takes care of their children and send them to school
I was really sad
Now they asked the man what do you do for a living
He said maruwa driver
How many children did you and your wife have before now
This man said 10
As in Ten !!!
Freaking Ten !!!
Now fourteen !!!!

I didnt even know whether to be angry or sad again
This was in Kano

happney65:
He no lie for this. The North for long didn't take advantage of western education as much as we did in the south.

Because with Western education,this won't happen at all. It is very very rare around us here.

If you see a child during school hours not in school,you won't ask anything else apart from "why are you not in school?"

But Tinubu supporters who are always afraid and timid of the North do not and cannot call out stuffs like this. Na only for Igbo matters them dey get strength

The truth of the matter is this,Nigeria is a country totally different from each other. We do not share the same values with the North

The South is much more Liberal and educated. While the North is uneducated

I blame That jonsing modafucka called Lord Luggard for joining the North and the south.

Oceanjagaban:
➜I blame That jonsing modafucka called Lord Luggard for joining the North and the south.

Now imagine these set up people in this state with the mentality that they own the nation, they must govern the nation! If they don't have their way there must be thunder, fire and brimstone! The project Nigeria will continue to flounder under present structure.

Kobojunkie:

Elvis2kay:
It's time the southern Nigerians speak up..

Leave southern Nigeria make dem dey decieve themselves.

I hear most of them say "as long as they bomb only themselves", wake up, if that almajiri system is not put to an end, these terrorists will be in the south in less then 20 years.

It's such a shame that southern people as nd their politicians are afraid to talk about this.

They will simply disagywith you.

Here in Warri, most northerners have 3 to 4 wives and they don't earn much, they will always stay 6 months in North and another in Warri just to satisfy the other wives.

No education, go Makaranta 3 times a day.

Oceanjagaban:
??

What was life like before the British showed up on the scene? Remember, much of Nothern Nigeria had already been conquered by Islam for a period of probably many hundred years at this point in time. 😒

Lere got it right this time,your point ìs valid and makes a lot of sense. They are the problems of Nigeria.

lonelygem:

..it's their Islamic law that entitles them to.marry up to 4 wives..they have to change their law.... and stop polygamy and marrying of many wives which leads to giving birth to.many children

This year, pick up and read the book, The Life of Mohammed by Ibn Ishaq. (You can download a copy from the link below.) Do not stop until you have adequately digested the entire content of that book. Afterwards, come back and tell us if and how of changing Islamic law. 🤔
