Why am i not surprised. Thats why you cant get any of them living abroad where things are by merit or dint of hardwork.
Nigeria's govt institutions are their national cake where they must occupy and perpetuate corruption

What merit is needed for one to load himself with powder and go and sell in India or Malaysia?

Remember the recent revelation about Igbos living in South Africa. What do they do? Powder business.

Others resort to Yahoo Yahoo and other cyber crimes. They marry much much older women for visas.... While the ladies mostly engaged in prostitution.

I don't believe this CRAP, U can only count the number of bribes if you are the one giving it out or collecting it. Who wud give a bribe where it can be counted and documented?

Nogodye:
What do you expect from them? They all want to be on the seat of power...so they bribe their way through.

More than 70% of inhabitants of Abuja are Southerners. Your perception is very wrong.

Tolexander:
Most of them aren't really interested in life outside their territories where they won't have their cultural values exhibited and protected.

Northerners are conservative.

Many of them outside Nigeria are there to spend the money or acquire knowledge and come back to their ancestral territory.

Of course they are there to spend the money they acquired through bribery and corruption

...all I saw was that every geopolitical region in naija is still corrupt shikena!

Yes, that's right. Once we are sure of food security and shelter we're good to go.

Tolexander:
You don't know what you are saying!

Who told you that northerners are not many outside the shores of Nigeria?
You must be one of the people being fed junkz about the northerners.

Many northerners living outside the country are living large and not undergoing the kinda hustling some southerners are undergoing to make ends meet.

He never mentioned northerners,so you mean he was referring to the northerners. Let me read his post again

THIS STATISTICS WEAK ME OOO.
WE WERE TOLD THAT THE NORTH IS NOT CORRUPT BUT THE SOUTH.
MANY OF US BELIEVED IT AND SEE THEM AS ANGELS.
BUT I HAVE ALWAYS HAD MY SUSPICION ABOUT THEM WHEN YOU REALIZED THAT
GEN. ADUSALAM THAT TOOK OVER FROM ABACHA DEPLECTED OUR NATIONAL RESERVE
FROM $11 MILLION DOLLARS IN 9MONTHS TO $2 MILLON WHILE GENERAL IBB NATIONALIZED CORRUPTION.

Are we at least going to talk about the fact that the SE has the lowest, even below the national average



I'm impressed!!!

Afam4eva:

Actually, there are northerners connected to the who is who is Nigeria whoo are living large abroad but they're not even up to one quarter of Igbos and Yorubas abroad.

Fact!

Two third of Northerners living abroad are connected to who is who of the Northern oligarchs. And they are the ones living the so-called 'large'
The remaining one third are a mixture of hustlers and govt. financed educated ones that decided to stay back after school(These are usually norminal religionist in nature).

The prevalence of bribery, according to the report, “is calculated as the number of adult Nigerians who had at least one contact with a public official and who paid a bribe to a public official, or were asked for a bribe by a public official, on at least one occasion in the 12 months prior to the survey, as a percentage of all adult Nigerians who had at least one contact with a public official.”
Jst check out the useless criteria they used to arrive at the results…. This is purely guess work as far as I am concerned. Even the UN agency they partnered are concerned with drugs, so what is the relationship between bribery and drugs? We all know the HEADQUARTERS of drug administration in Nigeria. Here in d north we call them IYAMIRI

It's useless now, huh? If the reverse were the case, then we'd talk about how the UN and the NBS are reputable organizations

your matter tire me

Really

metot dt dey r too religious! all Muslims are hypocrite

A hardworking SE doesnt know the word "bribe",they believe hardwork pays,even bible says so and they(SE)are denied of what they are qualified to get on merit.All these constitute the agitation for Biafra because they believe they can survive on their own,which is a true fact.Pharoah,please let my people go!!!

Guy I don't want to join issues wit you. We in the north are not e-worriors. Most times we jst listen to you and your Yoruba friends slug it out. Bt I don't accept the methodology of that study. It is flawed in so many ways and can never give accurate results.
On the contrary, the result actually shows who is honest. The northerners give/collect bribes and are honest to say the truth. One can argue the result based on this right?

We in the SE don't know what bribe is.. A typical SEterner will never bribe you if one knows that he or she merits that thing.. Even if it means he will loose that thing if he doesn't pay the bribe. He prefers to go and hutsle, achieve success and later come back to rub it on the face of the person demanding for the bribe.. We believe in merit..

That means boko haram was a product of bribery n corruption.

pls don't say what u don't know I live in Vienna the northerner I see here re only those connected with power in Nigeria like son of rilwan lookman that one na only money he dey shop dey carry ashawo , re northerners so special that I don't see them in the street of Vienna or Munich Rome !but go to Sudanese Koranic university u will see them

boss1310:
is it possible for comments here not to be about tribal warfare every time?don't think so,cos the youths of this country who claim educated and exposed have failed to learn from what made this country to still be rated as third world

Is bribery not prevalent in schools?

What about our girls and women (mama*s) sleeping with male lecturers for marks upgrade or award when they never sat for the exams?

Forget about the youths, let's talk about the unborn generation.

u and ur people are the reason Nigeria is backward. u control every arm of govt and u wonder why every arm of govt is inefficient. i wish i dont stay in the same country with u

Titto93:
Everyone knows North tops in all negative things in Nigeria;
Terrorism
Child abuse
Murder
Illiteracy
underdevelopment
Suffering
Poverty
Corruption
Bribery
Deceit, Lies and so on...
.

Don't forget they also provide the largest percentage of the food in the country, are an integral part of the engine room of the country, business and politically savvy, United, etc etc. It's not all bad

What do you mean by we control every arm of Govt? Was OBJ not in power for 8 years? Is he a northerner? How many years was Jonathan in power? I voted for his joint ticket wit Yar'adua and for him in 2011. So what are you talking abt? Who even want to stay in the same country wit you? What is so special abt you?

You mean the childrenren of the northern elites

will this stop them from blaming Nnamdi KANU, Ipob and ojukwu for their backwardness , woes and failed system
north lags behind economically, educationally and socially
The economies of the south that the north has grown so used to, cannot be relied on forever.
It is common to see children with bowls at a time when they are supposed to be in school begging for alms in the north... I want to know what northern Nigeria bring to the table... Southeast controls Nigeria commerce, South south contribute immensely to our national coffers we sustained with their oil, Southwest control Nigeria financial institutions and cooperate affairs, I want to know what northern Nigeria bring to the table, a lot of them will say , agriculture ,power bla bla bla... and I want to know if their agricultural products are shared among Nigerians freely please what is this guys contribute to national development , I'm waiting for them to devour me , they will say foodstuff bla bla bla. . . . its not as if they give it to us for free.we buy it from them.but they get free oil money from us every month.when they had ''peanut'' money, were they dashing it out to anybody outside their region? to me only thing they bring to Nigeria, is bribery, corruption, terrorism, poverty and social unrest

You'd think he/she'll reason but guy, you are on Nairaland. It is mostly peopled by frustrated ne'er-do-wells. They'll blame you for everything even if you don't fall either side of the ”Igbo/Afonja” divide. Don't take it personal.

And you so forgetful to remember that once Nigeria was financed from groundnut and cotton from the north. Did northerners complain then?

YES BUT THIS SAYS IT ALL
Everyone knows North tops in all negative things in Nigeria;
Terrorism
Child abuse
Murder
Illiteracy
underdevelopment
Suffering
Poverty
Corruption
Bribery
Women oppression
Child marriages
Deceit, Lies , stealing and so on...
