Re: Northern Elders Write Buhari "2016 Budget Not Favourable To The North by Tomitoose: 3:10pm On Apr 17, 2016
Despite political involvement, Balewa remained suspicious of Nigerian unification and feared that the Northern Region would be dominated by the better educated and dynamic south. He said that “the southern tribes who are now pouring into the north in ever increasing numbers…do not mix with the northern people in social matters and we…look upon them as invaders. Since 1914 the Brirish government has been trying to make Nigeria into one country, but the Nigerian people themselves are historically different in their backgrounds, in their religious beliefs and customs, and do not show themselves any sign of willingness to unite. So what it comes to is that Nigerian unity is only a British intention in the country.”

By their words you shall know them your way of thinking is so odd and primitive that's why you are not successful in life because you are so full of hate towards the eastern region people of nigeria.. since you are born and nigeria is sharing allocation has ur family member benefited from the allocation nonsense

What has the north population benefit Nigeria ? Boko haram .if IPOBs treated as terrorist what do you call the fulani herdmen? Ipob are agitating for just course compare to fulani killers

This is why Nigeria can never progress. The northerner's self entitlement is nauseating. Bunch of thieves and parasites who contribute nothing but wants the biggest pie. I find it curious they cared more about harmless biafra than Fulani herdsmen.
It's really sad.

SS & SE ! When have they not been shortchanged? We are used to it and honestly they can't stop us from developing. We are self-made people. True Federalism is the answer but will they allow it? No. All we ask for is light, road and security. We can take care of ourselves. No be so bro? grin grin grin grin grin
Na soooooo!! I live in Lagos, those days when we start preparing to travel home for xmas, yourubas around us would always be asking why we always like to travel home every xmas. I used to tell them that we don't ever forget our roots. We make sure we build houses (fine houses), we have a united extended family system. We have our cherished and entrenched cultures., we take our dead back to their roots. We have loved ones we left behind that are longing to see us! Our girls and boys get to meet their life partners. Recently, I amd my wife had to delay our child's dedication by 3 months cos we wanted to do it at home in owerri so that our people could be there to enjoy with us.

If not for the seaport that had concentrated opportunities in lagos, I don't see why I should continue living among people who are jealous of me. I made it a point of duty to always invest in properties only in the east!!!
The leadership of nigeria for reasons best known to them has bluntly refused to open up the seaports in the east.

Some fools from the darkest part of the sw will be claiming lagosians and I just look at them and sneer and murmur "its not your fault"

Any right thinking igbo man still living in the hateful is on his own!

Are your shameless self happy with the way IPOB your fellow southerner are treated, why herdmens are raping your kindren in Osun state and moving freely.

My brother, the north is mad. I blame our southern people that can't unite. Even when Jonathan was there, he concentrated on the north. They were not satisfied. We all assumed they wanted power, but it is obvious now that the north wants more than political power. They want the whole country. There is fire on the mountain and nobody in the south seems to care. angry

Yes I blame the SE especially for their woes. Ekwueme is the president Nigeria never had. People like OUK made sure it never materialised and they used money politics to scheme him out. As for Jonathan, that one is story for another day! See how arrogantly buhary conducts himself when matters of the SE props up! Chai! An almajiri! A backward tribe! Issokay!

Are you sure that imbe.cile is a southerner? We need to unite now and form a formidable alliance. One South. I don't quite get what our differences are in the south. I can understand the position of the north, but the south amazes me. Why are we so divided? cry cry cry cry cry cry

Bubu gave over 90% of the appointments to his people and the southerners defended him. He made his infamous 95% & 5% speech, he received the most acclaim from some southerners. Herdsmen kill southerners and all we do is to laugh at the region? What's wrong with southerners? angry angry angry angry angry

But even if they get the whole 6trn in the budget, they will still remain the most backward, ravaged by disease, hunger and illitracy! What all the many years of looting the treasury availed them? Their leaders cart away all the money to dubai to invest in properties while their kit and kin will stand by their gate every money, plate in hands, begging for alms and a mesh of pottage. I am still better than them!!!

I feel your pain. It is all our fault. We are so divided. Orji Kalu had it rough with me sometime in 2007. I told him to his face that he's a disgrace to his people. I don't wanna say too much here but he got more than he bargained for. We need to unite. SW, SE, SS & NC if they are interested. Let's go back to Orkah map. But if that's not possible, to your tents every region. The injustice in naija is scary.

I guess the Northern elders too should tighten the seat belts like everyone else.....because falling oil prcies means that there isn't enough money.

They should force their governors to spend more on education, and industrial development....and also agitate for the regulation of mining in the region.

Sorry....but agric has had its day. Agric is not profitable anymore.
Don't mind the old fools. Let them keep waiting for the federal government to come develop their region.

RedCapChief:
These "Northern Elders" are the reason why Nigeria can never be a united nation. Buhari's lopsided appointments are not enough to placate them. The billions of naira Jonathan poured in to the North via the PINE program are not enough. They will always want more. They are the disciples of Ahmadu Bello who stated that Nigeria was their backyard and the conquered territory of Dan Fodio.

I believe crude oil and petro-dollars in the South-South are the only things keeping Nigeria as a single country. The Americans already believed that Nigeria in its present form was unsustainable. Nobody could predict Jonathan to change the equation and accept defeat. Buhari has already approved 40 billion for oil exploration in Lake Chad. Once they find oil in commercial quantity, all this talk of "One Nigeria" may just die.
After all, Gowon was ready to allow the South-East to secede; he had already signed the Aburi accord. Then he was told it meant oil-rich Rivers state was gone.

Then he reneged.

Then war broke out.

It is all about the oil

You got it right.

And Balewa was right then, and right now. Nigeria will never be united. It's only the crude oil that is keeping Nigeria together. Nigeria will eventually disintegrate.
