Now compare Jigawa State to Abia, Ebonyi or Anambra. Jigawa is twice better than those states combined despite getting smaller share of the national cake.

^^^You sure those South East states get more than Jigawa?

Besides, Jigawa would have much more free money to 'play' with considering they're not faced with the population density and urban problems that those SE states you mentioned are facing.....with less allocation from the centre!

Whatever you want to prove, the North is still lagging behind. I know almost everywhere in the North-West and North-East and I can tell you, 95% of it is in Stone Age.
what are you waiting for? Go and create your thread, maybe it will even grace FP. LOL grin grin

Nobody is a sadist and a hater here .

people are only asking the obvious questions but you and your kind wants them to shut the hell up ,may I also remind you too that people have a right to disagree with those pictures ,after all the influx of Northern youths into Southern states looking for menial jobs with low pay calls for a proper scrutiny of whatever good news that we might be getting from that region that runs on a feudal system that keeps the downtrodden down even to the fifth and sixth generation.

I can go on and on in mentioning too many instances why we have to be very objective with the North on whatever they are selling to the public.

You can't hold this country and your own people down for decades under the barrel of the gun with nothing to show for it except for some cheap image making.

We are not that gullible.
Lol@ influx of northern youths into the south. don't know exactly the point you intended to make with that statement but my guess is you are implying the north is so bad its people are leaving it. FYI bro, there is also a massive influx of southerners into the north and I dare say there are more southerners up north than there are northerners down south...yea; even with BH.
that said, enough of all these hate from you southerners. gosh you guys are beginning to sound petty, really. I don't see northerners doing same in similar threads about the south.

Most southerners who talk about the north do so out of ignorance. Most of them haven't even reached Kogi.

Nice effort, OP.

The average northern state gets about #2.5b per month while the average southern state gets #8.5b courtesy 13% derivation...yet the southerners keep saying all sorts of things...does this means the south should blame the north for their underdevelopment?..

The north is Mecca if some sorts where most people.wanna visit,that's why people like zik,ojukwu,ike nwachukwu,nzegwu were all born in the north.The north has accommodated southerners and have even taken them as brothers,that's y you must see an ibo or yoruba family in the smallest town in the north...
Chq out the attached naija map..see the massive land mass stretching from adamawa to benue to kogi and to kwara...the north is thrice the southern contraption....

The north still believes in one Nigeria and that's why they they always smile off irritations from their southern guys who wants division

The north is no doubt an embodiment of cultural architectural beauty as most pics here are just a tip of the icebag

When last have you been to kurna? Sharada is not in any of the pics op shared.
Sharada from phase3 downward is more local and unfine than rijiyan lemo. Why, because sharada is industrial area R.lemo is residential area.

I stayed in both areas.
Do you know layin shata, babban layi that where I once reside and schooled in Bokavo barrack.

At least we all now know why the North would fight to the bitter end to keep Nigeria united. Where do you people expect them to get money to pay for all this? I hope the south-south can see where their oil money is going.

Nice job, beautiful scenes! The truth has always been that some places in the north are far more beautiful (aided by nature sometimes) than some states in the south with a very good example of Abia state which happens to be the most backward and dirtiest state in Africa. The political class in the north are largely to blame about the distrust and in some cases hatred btw north and south. They delight in stealing(just like their southern counterpart of course) and not wanting their people to be enlightened so that they can always use them for political gains being very poor and uneducated. Another thing is the mentality of being born to rule even when it's clear to all that the south has a far larger percentage of literate people than the north. Of course there are some exceptionally and extremely intelligent people in the north but they're clearly in the minority there.
The one thing that would not allow northern Nigeria to cross my mind when I'm thinking of where to go for vacation is the fundamentalist mentality of some of the religious bigots there. Ordinary stepping on a qur'an mistakenly is enough to send thousands of people to their early graves. If a teacher asks his/her pupil to stop cheating in an examination the next moment the pupil would say the teacher was insulting the qur'an or the holy prophet and voila, he/she would be killed instantly. Sorry to say this but some of them are clearly animals and there is nothing anybody would tell me about a 'religion of peace' that takes delight in killing and maiming with or without any provocation, that would make me believe otherwise.
Your pictures are quite beautiful, I only wish the people's mind were like that too. People always argue that those fundamentalists are not many and that they are not practicing islam, but I usually laugh at this because you don't need a multitude to cause destruction. A house built by 100 people in 10yrs can be destroyed by one man in one day! Majority of Germans were good people but it took one Adolf Hitler and a few cronies to bring the whole world to its knees. One suicide bomber can kill over 100 ppl in a day so the argument doesn't hold up.

My prayer is for peace to reign everywhere in my fatherland so I can feel free to go anywhere I please without any fear.
God bless the north. God bless the south. God bless Nigeria
My brother you wasted all this ink writing nonsense. You are not here in the so don't comment what you don't know. Abia state you see I better than all these northern states even with how dirty it is because most of what you see in abia are individual efforts of their men and women after the civil war while on the other hand all what you see in those pics are all federal government projects, I repeat they are federal government projects for 38yrs o. Please tell us another story, if Na about north, in the words of Chinua Achebe" its a dry arid land" Am sorry

So in your high morality standard you expect a city where you will be able to enter married people's houses, without being called in or having any business therein.

You talk of Kaduna as one backward state. What is not beautiful or serene about the state? Residentially, you have U rimi, malali, barnawa, u sarki, u dosa and many developed parts presently springing up in the southern part. Business wise, from kakuri, sabo tasha, station market down to the main down is booming. You called it a dream killer, in what sense? That you now probably lived in abroad just made you one out of several millions who had live and studied in various places in abroad and are back living comfortably in the same state. A dream killer, yet a home to tens of thousands of igbos who only remembered the east on 24th and 25th of December. I don't know why the Igbos of all tribes in Nigeria are the most boastful. The state that has given you so much for 31 long years, is now a dream killer. Your bigotry knows no bound. That's why every where people complained about your attitudunal problem. Always trying to show off when you have nothing to show. Is not ingrate like you we need in kd. Kd remains land of the educated and peace irrespective of the unfortunate religious crises which both parties are learning their mistakes from.

Well spoken! i was born in kaduna got married here. I can proudly say this I CAN'T live in any state is Nigeria as side this state (Kaduna). i see so many people running their fingers typing nonsense about the north. I am a southerner, so dont begin to think if am one aboki. what i expect people living in the south should do is ask your leaders your so called governor, senators and co to stop embezzling your money and put it into developing your states. Mind you only in the north you travel over 200 - 300km and there is no single pothole. grin shocked.
