QuotaSystem:


This article could have been better timed and themed, but unfortunately you took the bait of the sore losers.

The Almajiri system as we know it, is knitted into the fabric of the northern society not just because it is practically encouraged by Islam as a way for poor children to acquire Islamic education, but also because their teachers and politicians have found they are a profitable way to get money or votes, and this explains why the problem is endemic and efforts to change the system is met with hypocrisy. Unfortunately these children grow up to become burdens on society and end up travelling down south to constitute a further nuisance.

I don't think anyone was trying to defend the system, the defence was more about pointing out the hypocrisy of the southern antagonists who were clearly lashing out at Northerners in the anger and frustration of Atiku's defeat. The hypocrites who were previously crusaders for democracy suddenly became green livered soulless beasts that started hurling insults at northerners for exercising their democratic rights.

The same people who are struggling with the same poverty as the Almajiris (as can be seen by their online begging even here on NL and sub-human pant stealing and satanic yahoo human rituals) instantly mounted their paper high horses to castigate beggars who are victims of society, which is what prompted the #IAmNORTH movement to show that we are NORTHERN and PROUD and cannot be gullible enough to fall for their cheap sifia chest pain & frustration driven blackmail .

We showed trolls like livebynight that with our population we can determine our own leadership and have ZERO apologies for anyone bitter about that. We showed that we are likely better educated and enlightened by the quality of our twitter exchanges. We showed that even though the North is challenged by poverty like the rest of the country (albeit to a higher degree because scarce resources over a larger population will logically spread thinner), we proudly lay claim to successes like Aliko Dangote - the greatest industrialist & richest man in Africa - intellectuals like Dr. Amina Mohammed (UN Dep. Sec. Gen), inventors like Jelani Aliyu (Chevy Volt/GM/) etc. We also asserted that we are ALSO dominant in the military, civil service and wield the kind of unity and political power other regions can only dream of.

You see, the point is to stop feeding their disappointed souls by paying attention to their blackmail; instead remind them why we are FORMIDABLE opponents or ignore their pained rants and focus on moving to the NEXT LEVEL with the choice of the MAJORITY of Nigerians.

You didn't make a coherent point

Igbo spotted...#iamnorth I rep north any day any time... Southerners don't street beg but when it comes to armed robbery,cultism, prostitution my Igbo brothers are proudly representing in those cartegories...infact i personally know a few Igbo girls who changed their identities and are now bearing hausa names so as to find favours from alhaji's because the claim they get better money from them...a nothern man would Rather push barrow, shine ur shoes and be contented with what he has than pick a riffle a Rob people of their hard earned properties ....#proudlyarewa

A begger earns only when you decide to give alms to him unlike our eastern brothers that do 419, use panties, Steal at gunpoints, make illegal copies of someones intellectual property, etc. So in a way, We should be proud that we are into begging rather than robbery

BeLookingIDIOT:

I'm from the South and we should stop this nonsense of always blaming the North for our own failures- that's the typical failures excuse.
The North is the North's problem.They're not the reason for your state or regions underdevelopment.Kiss the truth,we still would almost remain the same without them.
There are also negative aspect were we southerners take the lead.

SouthEastFacts:

I heard you are not Hausa, so I am done with you.

Claimed Kaduna-Abuja armed robbers are Southern Kaduna and someone just confirmed it didn't pass through Southern Kaduna.

APCsupporter:



I meant Kaduna south which is dominated by Christians

I am not here to rub some peoples ego.


I noticed that a certain phrase "I am North" has been circulating after the election, saw that some people have been bragging with it while mixing the positivity and negativity of the phrase without giving in much thought.

I don't have problem with the positive aspect of it, my problem is with the opposite, it really baffles me to see how some of us are celebrating something that is not worthy of celebration such as Almajiri system of education, begging, other petty jobs etc. We ought to condemned the aforementioned problems, we should cover our face in shame rather than bragging with it the earlier we start calling a spade by its name the better for us, I think is better to face our fear rather than shy away from it if we didnt face it definitely it will continue to eat deep down like cancer.


Sincere speaking In some aspect I like the ambition of our southern counterpart their zeal and positive thinking. You will never see them begging in northern streets like our folks are doing down south.The annoying thing is how the beggars and the almajiris thinks that they are entitled in whatsoever you wanted to give them out of righteousness.

Few days ago I watched a video trending, how a Southerner was mocking a northern begger, I felt indifferent about the video because they are the ones that chose to be object of mockery, you will see a healthy man begging in the streets is it laziness or what? The question we should ask ourselves is are there not old men and physically challenge people in the South? Why are they not in the street begging? The funny thing is most of the beggars saved a lot of money throughout their begging career but they will not quit because they think it is an easy or quick money scheme, forgetting that they have lost their self worth and self esteem.

I know that some will agree with me while some may not, whichever maybe the case that's the bitter truth and we must face it.


Lastly to the southerners I like your ambition but i detest your lifestyle.


#Iam a productive North!

GBOKASINCHA:
that guy is not hausa that highway is not even located in southern kaduna

SouthEastFacts:

If you are really in ABU you would have known that cultists hold sway in that campus.

In fact, there was a time hunters were deployed against them. Right now their activities within school have been greatly constrained but within Zaria, they are strong.

Pyramid Marine Patrol is the viking deck in Kano and the deck is one of the strongest in the North.

Benue which is also part of the North has been over ran by cultism. There are as many cultist in Benue as in the South.

Supreme Viking Confra is very strong in Plateau.

So the problem with the North is denial. The earlier you guys realise you are equally deep in this shitt the better. The only difference is that Northern cultists are armed with dagger.

SouthEastFacts:

You are not Hausa and you are not in ABU if you really believe that NBA is not strong in that school

ThatIgboBoy:


from Dasuki to Maina, most of the criminals in government are northerners. that's not stealing abi?
how bout cattle rustling, kidnapping by Fulani herdsmen? that's not criminal acts abi?
so much for northern nonsense integrity

APCsupporter:
I agree with you op. Begging should never be glorified But i think there is something you dont understand. The main motive for glorifying it is to hit back at the people especially Igbos who have been using it to degrade the northerners. We may be beggers, but we are better than cultists and drug traffickers. We are better than prostitutes and pirates. We are better than baby factory products and scammers.

People with the above issues have no moral right at all to mock a begger. Begging is much more honourable than those crimes.

APCsupporter:

If i don't agree with your lie? lol. ABU is free from cultism.
Quick question:
have you ever seen anyone caught stealing panties in the north?

SouthEastFacts:
You are not in ABU and you are not an Hausa.

QuotaSystem:


All evidence proves otherwise.

ThatIgboBoy:


so who are these cattle rustlers and Fulani herdsmen that have turned to full time kidnapping?
they are no longer brothers abi?

nwanyionitsha:
What about bombing their fellow man and shacking codeine?

Maybe i need to state my registration number and password before you are convinced that you are lying to the wrong person. Abu has no cult groups. But i can list universities with , supreme eiye, Sea dogs, buccaneers, jezebel cupt groups. Just last week, 7 people died in cult clashes. Can you tell me when last you heard of a cult clash in the north? I don't even want to talk about the south west.

I dare you to show me any report of a cultist caught in the north within the last 4 weeks. If you can't, i will show you one in the south. If you check the history of cultism in Nigeria, you guys introduced it to Nigeria.

an Igbo man does worst

nwanyionitsha:
Where is your Jelani Aliyu? He has contributed nothing since his appointment. He just disappeared into thin air. Abi has he gone back abroad?

SouthEastFacts:

Anyone that criticizes the North must be Igbo. The problem with you guys is self denial. You claim to be holy but deep inside is nothing but maggot infested rotten tomatoes.

You don't do armed robbery, but tell me any high-way in this country that is as dangerous as Kaduna-Abuja expressway as of today.

You don't do cultism, I wonder what Pyramid Marine Patrol, Kano is. It is one of the strongest SVC deck in this country.

I am sure you don't travel if not you must have heard of Ama Hausa in the East. In case you don't know, it is where your sisters sell themselve for pathetic amount of money. Do you know the funniest thing? They do it with the Holy Hijab.


An Igbo girl fcvk with class, but go to Ama Hausa and see for yourself how classless your sisters are.

The robbers on Kaduna-Abuja expressway are doing highway patrol abi?

SouthEastFacts:

The fact you don't read them in papers doesn't mean they don't exist.

North is known for hiding evil deeds. There are cultists in the North. Benue is overran with them, there are a lot in Plateau, Pyramid Marine Patrol is in Kano, Bucaneer is strong in Zaria.

Aminu is from the North but he is a high ranking SVC member at Ogbia, Bayelsa. Last year, a Northerner was gunned down in Ikorodu for cult related activty and there a lot of Northern cultists in Lagos.

Yes, South introduced cultism but North are embracing it now.

nwanyionitsha:
Meaning? At least i move around in peace without fear until i see some one in hijab.

The word 'hausa' doesnt go with 'an'

Let's start from there

SouthEastFacts:

South West= an Hausa (H is silent)
South East = an Awusa
North = a Hausa

You are not a Hausa man, if that will make you feel good. If not, where in the North are you from?
