What does political maturity mean and why does that northern political maturity not lead to any kind of development?

Why are you so far behind in all indices? Education, health, quality of life, gender equality.

Kidnapping has largely abated in the south and is nothing compared to what has happened in the north east of late, lest we forget the Chibok girls are still missing.

The petty crime that you listed is no where near as destructive (nor is it exclusive to the south) as the senseless violence that northerners so frequently engage in against their neighbors, the silly rioting, the petty pogroms. Are you animals or human beings?

As to you bringing up HIV/AIDS:

[b]In some regions of Nigeria girls marry relatively young, often to much older men. Studies have found those who are married at a younger age have less knowledge about HIV and AIDS than unmarried women, and are more likely to believe they are low-risk for becoming infected with HIV. 18 HIV and AIDS education initiatives need to ensure they focus on married girls, as they are less likely to have access to health information than unmarried girls. 19 However, the need to improve knowledge about HIV among girls overall (both married and unmarried) remains, as HIV prevention knowledge is significantly less among girls (aged 15-19), compared to boys. 20 Addressing the social and cultural factors that contribute to early sexual debut among girls, notably gender inequality, in Nigeria is integral to successful HIV prevention among this group.

In North Western Nigeria around half of girls are married by age 15 and four out of five girls are married by the time they are 18. 21
Twice as many girls than boys are engaging in sexual activity before the age of 15 years.[/b]

Again, the root cause of the HIV problem is a lack of education and child marriage which is most pervasive in which region? Again, the north.

Because you cannot see how behind the bell curve you are you keep pushing a senseless northern agenda. You guys have a long way to go to get to the 20th century, not to speak of the 21st.

So Yuguda,Dakingari,Babangida and Sambo all worked for the North at the detriment of their personal political carriers? If all the North conspired as all of you alludes, why will Kano state with more than 4million pvs collection only recorded 1.9million votes for Buhari? Infact, if the North did half of what people from the South did; you would have been hearing of 30million votes for Buhari.

The North is only managing it well because both pdp and APC in the North worked for Buhari. To them, it is all about the North and not about Nugeria. That's nothing to be proud of.

Imagine, Sambo the VP could not deliver his state, even as the governor is pdp. Muazu the pdp chairman, couldn't deliver his state. Even a blind person could see that the north was united in wrestling power back to north, no matter the party.

If the North are such great leaders, why are we where we are today? Even as Jona was president, the north still had control of most of the government parastatals. How do they fair?

There are good leaders from every part of the country. Nobody has monopoly of quality leadership.

anonimi:
I said as far back as January 25 that FFK was a negative impact on the president's campaign in addition to cementing the wrong impression that the administration condones corruption which was a major platform for Buhari's messaging.
Hope the PDP learnt its lesson going forward.

Allowing his wife to run her mouth like a broken septic tank also did him a lot of harm. To me, this even comes first.

Eluwilussit:


There's no doubt in my mind that the North was united in purpose. I don't in any way suggest that it is a bad thing. I actually commend them. That's how regional politics should be played.

I am not surprised that there are no dissenting voices in the North. The simple reason behind that is that there was only one aim at the presidential election-the return of power to the North. I am sure if PDP had fielded a Northerner, they would have won. Also, if APC had fielded a Southerner, they would have lost too. Change or no change!

We can pretend all we want, but the above scenarios are simply true.

To me, PDP (FFK in particular) are d pple to thank for Buhari's victory and popularity. Those guys did 70% of Buhari's campaign for him. Even pple that didn't know Buhari were shouting 'Sai Buhari', not because they idolize him or anything, but because FFK's baseless and imbecilic documentaries hardened their hearts d more 2 vote for APC. Coupled with d fact that when some researched and found PDP's allegations to be useless lies, it endeared dem to GMB.

Even if Jesus Christ was APC's presidential candidate, PDP would run a documentary abt how he flogged pple in d temple and how he didn't have a human father

Obviously, FFK and PDP need to learn about d power of Reverse Psychology...

The root cause of HIV is not early marriage but unprotected sexual intercourse. Illicit sexual intercourse is religiously abhored in the Northern axis of Nigeria. Marriage is a mutual arrangement that involves elders of known repute. Can you compare this to the prostitution that is prevalent in the South? In African culture, any child born out of wedlock is a bastard. If a censeus is conducted using this indices, i hope that you know who the bastards are.
The North have their own civilization curled from the people they have lived with for centuries. If you are going to talk about civilization understand that western culture is not the only civilization in existence. As i type in english so i can also do using arabic- a diverse knowledge and culture. An average person from the North can write and read in arabic which makes them more literate than any region in Nigeria.

nduchucks:

Abòki na, I went through yoiur posts and noted that you have not written 2 complete sentences since March 28 ans all your posts thereafter have been smilies like
Please is there a name for that drink or kwayoyi which be have been contributors to this act?

Eggcelent:
The blame game won't help the PDP. Washing their dirty linen in the open will rather weaken the party even more. Whatever they want to say to one another should be done internally. Nigeria won't benefit from having only one dominant party. PDP needs to remain strong for sake of our democracy.

mmsen:


Unprotected sexual intercourse comes about as a result of ignorance, old men take advantage of their status and income to abuse young girls. This is how disease is spread and are you saying that there is no prostitution in the north? We all know what happens to many of those child brides - many are sent packing with their children once the old men are finished with her. Is that not what Senator Yerima did with the child bride that he purchased from Egypt?

At no point have I used the word 'civilization', I used the word 'development' which is far more important than age old customs that serve none but a tiny minority.

An average northerner cannot read and write by any indices, that is what the stats show us - more children are out of the school in the north than in the south and those that are in school fare poorly in the NECO and WAEC exams.

Your claim that that the Brits left Nigeria in the hands of the northerners because they meant well by Nigeria looks foolish in light of the facts. Britain had no good intentions towards Africans, anywhere. For you to claim otherwise shows immense naivete. They left the country in the hands of cabal that had a record of keeping the majority subject, backwards and desperate. How can you claim otherwise with so much immense poverty in north? That was true when the British were in Nigeria and is still the case today.

The west brought civilization to the South; they did not see any way of life that orderly enough to sanctify. But when they arrived the North; they met them already practicing islamic ways of life as emulated by their earlier masters. So they only needed to impose their western ideas through the barrel. So some one who have already embraced Eastern culture should not be looked down upon- that is the simple reason they allowed the leadership of Nigeria in the hands of the North.
On the issue of WAEC. Every household in the North teaches their children the Qoranic knowledge before any other knowledge(offcourse; the western knowledge). So when they are now introduced to the western knowledge due to national integration; they find it less interesting. At the time they begin to realise the need to study the western knowledge,WAEC is knocking at the door. But once they cross this hurdle; check out their performances in the various higher institutions in Nigeria.

barcanista:
No need to apportion blame. Though appointing FFK for that role was a fatal mistake. However, we need to move forward as a party and regroup.

KoloOyinbo:


This is very true. Let us analyse Buhari. He was an ex military dictator who admittedly did some good things while in power to fight corruption. But he has tried three times for President and failed on each occasion. He was coming this 4th time with good promises but lets be realistic, that is all they were, promises. Great if he delivers on them (I actually think he will but no one can be 100% sure).

Against these promises we had an incumbent President. BUT (and this is the difference) you guys could judge him on his performance! It was at best very mixed! Good on agriculture, poor on security and corruption. He did NOT lead his party, his party led him! A real case of the tail wagging the dog! When a party that is so in bed with corruption tries to smear the opposition people really begin to wonder very hard about exactly wjat is going on!

The result was clear for all to see!

theV0ice:
They were told but refused to be sensible. Even Tony Okoroji, former PMAN president condemned the appointment but they didn't listen.

With all the terrible things he told the world about gej prior, even if he came back to PDP, it was very unwise to have made him image maker. Thinking people didn't take him seriously. How can you take an adult who gleefully tells the world how much sexx he had with another man's wife seriously?

Jona was very naive and the hawks around him sucked him (and the nations treasury) dry. They knew the game was up but decided to make as much as they could from him before jega put the final nail in the coffin.

Soskid:
Femi don scam dem....... Shame on PDP

ChokolateBoss:


Good on agriculture? . The so-called transformation that doesn't translate into a real change in d lives of d common man. Transformation on paper. I don't know of any growth in agriculture cos as far as I know, food is getting costlier and we still import a lot of agricultural produce.

As for Buhari, let's wait and see. Though u gotta admit he has this trustworthy aura abt him...u can almost smell d integrity and no-nonsense charisma.
There was this video of him I watched and he made an interesting statement. He said in all his yrs of public office, he has not stolen a kobo and dared any politician 2 make d same statement.

I'm not one who takes political slogans like they're dogma. So like I said, let's wait and see. Even his enemies know deep down that impunity and lootocracy won't be tolerated under his watch
