The North is not dragging us backward in any way. Our Senators and the gullible masses are. Secondly, stop generalizing. There are a couple of Northeners in diaspora doing great things. For example, the designer of one of the brands of Mercedez benz and Chrysler is from Sokoto. Try to be objective. 3 Likes |

Standing5: Boy, relax. It is quite obvious u have issues with comprehension, now let me break it a bit further. The power from the power stations in the north is capable of supplying the north 24hr. But the problem is that such power is not consumed in the north alone and other thermal stations like egbim, sapele etc are merely complementary but the bulk of the power comes from hydro stations. Now, assuming the south is cut off, the available power is sufficient for the north alone. If this is too difficult for you to understand, then I suggest u enrol for basic English class, cos I can't help. Now, do u know why u are trying to hide behind aggression? Ur argument lacks any reasonable substance and the only way out is to be on the offensive, yet these are the people that will jump at the slightest argument and start shouting about education upandan. Education is not about bragging, it is actually about politeness, diplomacy, knowledge, getting what u want from the society, respect for others etc. Boy, go and address ur problems and stop placing them at the doorsteps of the north cos the north did not in anyway stops u from applying ur 'education' to ur advantage. With meagre allocations to northern states, capital projects are still being executed while ur 'educated' governors with fat allocations can't even pay salaries despite fed govt bailout, yet the north is the problem. 1 Like |

[quote author=Odingo1 post=53775294] Guy the North is the problem of Nigeria 1. They have rule Nigeria for the past 38 years in 50 years time Military rule mostly, where nobody is accountable to anybody. Since 1999 Southerners have been ruling majorly, what has changed in your region? Nothing
This still doesn't explain the lack of tangible development in your southern regions 3.Loot Nigeria treasury for the past 40years they are in power Oh yeah! Guess who has been looting money meant for the development of your state since 1999! Guess who's senators have been collecting jumbo pay despite doing next to nothing in the national assembly! Guess who's state houses of assembly have been in comatose and have become and ordinary rubber stamp for their governors!
Utter conjecture! 5.See theirselves as born to rule Nigeria, if southerner become president they will start bombing everywhere to take power back. Beer parlor tale. Obasanjo became president they did not bomb anywhere, Jonathan became president they did not bomb anywhere. and they definitely did NOT take power back.
Trust me when I tell you that the North isn't your problem at all. There's a saying in Yoruba, "kokoro t'on jefo, ara efo lowa" Look closer home to the source of your problems in your region. You can thank me later. 3 Likes |

Standing5: So I read an article on that which detailed the progress made in trying to supply power to Aba and making it an industrial hub in Nigeria, which I think is a laudable project. But I also read that despite the agreements with the federal government, the privatization of PHCN caught up with the project and the progress in Aba was sold to other groups or thereabout. Well, Jonathan was in power when all these happened in 2014/15 so I'm not sure how this concerns the North unless I'm missing something which you might want to point out. 2 Likes |

[quote author=Omudia11 post=53775044] Firstly, You are in no position to question what our governors do with our own wealth. Your own governors who depend on our oil revenue, what have they done for you? The last time I came across this kind of logic was when I was tutoring primary school pupils during my NYSC year in Mikang, Plateau state. "Let's all gather and blame the North but thou shall not point accusing fingers at our own". Great logic indeed. The northern elite control over 70% of the oil blocs in the south...how has it bettered the lives of your northern almajiris? Your governors have been collecting oil derivatives, 30% if I'm not mistaken for the last 16 years, yet your area still looks like the pissing pot of the continent. Have you bothered to ask your leaders how they spend your money? No. You're being remote controlled by your leaders to always see the North as your problem.
Yes I know how the south would have been. Probably worse than the pisspot it already is. In fact by now I'm sure your area would have been a war zone sef.
Yes I do. It's quite unfortunate and I hope that the herdsmen perpetrating this evil are all caught and beheaded.
I'm wondering how you passed NECO because obviously you can't read and comprehend. Nobody is doing comparison here. If the North is illiterate how does that affect the educational standard of the south? Why does the north oppose True Federalism? Why does the north oppose secession? It is visible to the blind and audible to the deaf that the north is the problem of Nigeria. @bolded, that's the only reasonable and on-point argument you've made so far in all your submissions. But it's inaccurate still. Let me help you rephrase. "Why do the Northern ELITE oppose true federalism". Whoever opposes true federalism is an enemy of this nation and surely is pulling us backwards indeed. If I give you reasons why they oppose it, it would only be on conjecture and might be inaccurate. Are they scared that there will be no more oil money? Do they think this would make for a more powerful southern region? Do they think that this would widen the gap between the development of the south and the north? Maybe, but I won't pretend I know the full answers to that. Question is, what can we do about that, because I assure you, the average northerner just like the average southerner just wants to make a living so as to be able to feed his wife and kids. So, hating him and his ilk isn't the answer to our problems but coming together to fight the cabal made up of Nigerians from the North, South, East and West who are holding Nigeria in a stranglehold. 2 Likes |

Ioannes:The whole thing boils down to a law that mandates power generation that's beyond certain threshold to be pumped into the National Grid. Once the power is gone into the National grid, the gencos can't dictate where the power is distributed to. This particular rule means what Nnaji has generated with the intention of selling to his neighbor in Aba and environs, must be relinguished or sold to the controllers( northerners by reason of federal character in agencies like TCN, NERB ) of the national grid. The north have generally opposed the ammendment of the law that forces large volume of power to be distributed via the National Grid because it favours them in the sense that it force the south to carry them along in their electrification drive. This law has forced Delta, Rivers and Lagos to put a stop to IPPs in the past cos any power they generate will 99.9% likely not be sold back to them or their indigenes. Get it ? The popular alternative to this arrangement of pumping IPP energy into the grid is an off-grid arrangement. 3 Likes 1 Share |

kabrud:Stop exergerating facts to win argument. The power plants in the north can't handle Abuja, Jos and Kaduna alone if the south is cut off. If you follow my other posts here you will gain some insight. It may interest u to kno dat Lagos, Delta, and Rivers dropped ideas of independent power plants IPPs in the past cos what they generated ends up in other region(the north). 3 Likes |

I always wonder how the lie came into existence that the north produces more food than the rest of the country. How can a semi desert barren region produce more food than other parts of the country which enjoy regular rainfall and have more fertile soil. The North is backward, useless and primitive. The only thing they produce in abundance is beggars and terrorists. Go to any major city in this country and I tell you, 95% of the beggars on the streets are northerners. They're just a very backwards lot. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Nigerian politics have been dominated by the North for decades. You would think that since they've had all that political dominance for decades, they would use their influence to develop their region. The South is not perfect either but the difference is clear. Oh and why are Kwara, Kogi, and Benue states in the North? The British don't make the rules anymore, we have Nigeria and we should have administrative regions that reflect the people. Abeg, this isn't to insult the North, most of our politicians regardless of where they come from are corrupt and they couldn't care less for the people. |

Standing5: Choi, see contradiction. So the north has suddenly become more industrialised requiring more power than the south? So, the domestic power consumption of the 'poor' northerners is now higher than that of the 'rich' Southerners. So the "almajiris in the north" now require more power than "the hardworking industrialists in the south"? I just wonder how some of u will lie blatantly, then go to bed and sleep comfortably. How for God's sake will LAGOS, RIVERS, AND DELTA STATES back off from power generation because NORTH WILL CONSUME MUCH OF THE GENERATED POWER? Pls, how are u comfortable with statement like this? Ur body no dey do u one kind? As I have said, left for u lots, nothing should go to the north, even the electricity it actively contributes in its generation. Hehehe, the fact remains that u can only make those senseless and illogical noise on social media cos even ur representatives at the fed level dare not come up with outright trash like this fit only for trash can. Now u are becoming too annoying and as such, I will appreciate if u stop coming close to my mention. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation, bye. 1 Like |
