After 3 billion dollar world bank loan for the north east, 10% total VAT and billion budgeted since last year , what do we have? watery beans! The northern elites are busy buying houses in Dubai. The commoner has always been on his own up north..

[b]Some people would come and tell you how the northerners are very straight forward and honest and how the igbo cannot be trusted with power.
The same igbo that have not held power since the 60s and can be said to of all the major ethnics share the least responsibility for Nigeria's current doldrums.
Just tell me which igbo politician will have the heart to do this to his own people. No matter how greedy.
You have the likes of Ojukwu- governor of the oil rich eastern region and military president of defunct biafra, Nnamdi Azikiwe- Nigeria's first president. None of them have been found guilty of corrupt practices or embellzement by anybody. And that is besides the fact they were obviously operating at a higher intellectual level than the rest of their peers.
And then you have the shagari, IBB, Abacha,-northerners who looted Nigeria to third worldism and penury. And then some people who claim to be sophisticated(which remains to be seen anyway) will still come and out and tell us all how northerners are supposedly more honest than every Nigerian and should be trusted with power.
It would have been a very funny irony if it wasn't so sad.

Zik was implicated in corruption and Ojukwu was involved somewhat in the Abacha for president charade. But I take your point that Igbos, of the major ethnic groups, have the least culpability for the state of Nigeria over a 57-year timescale in so far as having the least influence on governance.

The key problem with the North though is not greed, Southerners are arguably greedier, but incompetence. This is a theme I keep hammering on. The North has a narrower pool of capable policy makers/administrators-a byproduct of lower educational attainment. A corrupt but competent public official is far better than a less corrupt but inept official.

We can live in denial all we want but Zik and Awolowo were corrupt as the Foster-Sutton tribunal and the Coker commision respectively highlighted, but they were relatively competent.
