This is the way forward. Sit back and build the nation. While our almajiri region is making waves and trying to build a good reputation for the country , some are organizing heists in Dubai, scamming people and selling drugs in other countries. Honesty, HUMILITY and hardwork is the key to success, and I can boldly claim that it is in the arewa blood.

Building a good reputation with Boko Haram, Fulani herdsmen and bandits? Building reputation with millions of Almajiri children littered all over the northern states? Building reputation by making Nigeria the poverty capital of the world?
Which kind of reputation are you really building?

Restructure! Mind your business and lead yourselves how you deem fit. Develop at your pace.

Who cares

kiddkash:

I just hope, everything Nigerian needs, would be made in Nigeria and owned by Nigerians
instead of exporting all the time.
it will create many job opportunities and even have many to be exported. we would be making money from other countries
boost GDP and increase our MPS
make Nigerians to start using their brains for the good of the country.
go to Canada or US a lot of doctors there are Nigerians. they will take all the brains we have in our country
and use for their betterment.
well if there was adequate security in Nigeria and people don't breed like rabbits there would be

oil dey your head...

This is the Reason we must unite and kick those old folks out of power...

We are not moving in the right direction

Does this part you wrote seem possible to you ever in Nigeria?

Well I believe with time and by electing the right leaders at every level of government in the state,

fiizznation:
[s] I will keep saying this; the only advantage Lagos have over kano is the sea-port. [/s] Well I believe with time and by electing the right leaders at every level of government in the state, kano state will surely overthrow Lagos as the real commercial hub of Nigeria.

God bless kano state.

Mumu talk as usual. It wasn't unexpected that you lots have the effrontery to masturbate on this thread. Of course every state have their own advantage and product they produce from which huge revenues for developments are made, and no one is saying the North are not doing fine economically. But as much as they are doing fine, they are doing worse too with their retrospective mindset and their unwillingness to go in tandem with current development in the world.

A typical example and a rebuttal to your myopic claim that I trashed up here is the aspect of comparing Lagos to kano. For the record, Lagos isn't making giant stride because of the seaport alone. Lots of states can't catch up with Lagos not because of the seaport alone, rather because the level of literacy down here is making multinational companies to troop in here. Multinational companies can't set foot in an environment where literacy is below par. Obviously for the reason that those not literate enough will not buy their products.

Once I tried searching for investment banking companies outside of Lagos, I hardly could find any. Investment banking holding their foot proper in Lagos only shows Lagos is the marketing hub Nigerian. And shows people buy their products because they are literate enough to understand the efficacy of services they render. Otherwise, most would have packed and closed up in a long time.

This isn't to say other states aren't doing well, literate-wise, but the very fact that most tech companies, investment and advisory companies, insurance, research and other developmental companies that brings rapid development to nations and turn them to developed country are situated in Lagos. They're not situated in Lagos because of the seaport, they're situated there because of the population and the literacy level there.

Nevertheless this is just one of the many reasons why you can't compare Lagos to Kano. Unless maybe in the nearest future when Kano and most northerners stop seeing 'Boko as Haram', then the possibility of Kano being compared to Lagos may spring up.

Until then, stop spewing bunkum abeg!!

But na only prayer mate I dey see.

Abi dem dey produce for only Muslim countries?

The other day, the US gave warnings to their citizens traveling to Nigeria. And part of the no go areas are mostly northern states and some part of SS. Is this the reputation that the North is building for the country?

MightySparrow:
The chestbeaters claim that the north has nothing. Up in the thread, an undergraduate in gombe built a gas turbine that generates electricity. they say, 'apart from gworo the north knows next to nothing.'

But despite all these, after election results you people I'll take knife & slaughter southern People in the north

TheMainone:


Say no to tribalism this man

I wish to see your respond to every comment ooo

Else we will divide Nigeria in 3days

Can we sincerely do away with tribalism? My brother tribalism is the reason our nation have remained relatively backward.
Stay blessed

SegFault:

Abeg shift joor. All these tribal bigots have come again.

E pain this man well

martineverest:

Which "enabling environment" did they create? How does that relate with what u said earlier?:

"northern governor's are efficiency using their little federal allocation,while useless governors from my region,nigerdelta and NDDC are busy lavishing our funds"?

since when! wow, how come am just hearing of this

Abohboy:
This is how Nigeria will become developed. By refining raw materials and exporting them. Rather than exporting raw cotton and buying back a product made from it at five times the original value.

You are a genius.
Reminded me of Political Economy.
"Climbing up the ladder."
"The secret myth of . . ."
Implications of Exporting raw materials;
- importing poverty
- decrease/increase in foreign reserve.
- decrease/increase in per capita income.
- exporting job opportunity.
- increase/decrease in rate of unemployment.
- capital flight.
- increase/decrease in insecurity & crime rate.
- decrease in poverty.

SmartPolician:


What has this got to do with the Igbos?

I'm an Igbo man and the thing just dey give me severe pains.

Make i pack my load relocate to Kano, in search of greener pasture. Recession don hold East.

NLandIsHypocrit:
But the question continues to ring bell, why are they scared of standing on their own without those they claim is their problem if they're really industrious?

. The North will agree to stand on their own if SE agree to stand on their own without attaching to SS.

This is the kind of news I want to wake up and read.
Not kwaruption news

Nice one.

Arrewa:
Kano to the world!

We are getting there!!

Kano Amaka!!!

Arewa Amaka!!

Arewa to the world!

Arrewa my man... Are you back. I dey always like your comment when it's not about tribalism. One day we go organize Nairaland get together Kano chapter.

That's why I RESPECT AND LOVE THESE GUYS. Silent acheivers!...

No tribalism bro. I am proudly Oodua, married to my tribe all my children bear Igbo names. These brothers and sisters from Igboland play wrong politics and carriage. They cry foul about the rest maginalizing them. I want them to be angry and think and have positive approach to relationships. If they get their biafra, are they going to live alone? They will created more problems for those who will outside region and have more than they had in South Africa, my approach may be harsh.

Arrewa:
oil dey your head...

This is the Reason we must unite and kick those old folks out of power...

We are not moving in the right direction

the old folks refuse to be removed.
I am Igbo, but if they see the youths are uniting,
they will put notion is peoples heads like Biafra, lazy youth, yahoo boy
like magu when his sins were catching up to him, he always brought out some boys with laptops
and parade them saying they are yahoo boys and the people and
cameras will be fixated on them and the youths will never take a stand
if you want better things, they will send DSS
I don't really believe Buhari has all the powers, there are cabals that always hijack countries
they never show there faces, they prefer working in the shadows
hausa, fulani, yoruba, Igbo, niger delta. they are all complicit

those old men that have more than enough for up to 100 lifetimes are holding this country hostage
and are still wanting more

Xisnin:

Good intitiative.
But if the government has to ban importation from Asia, then there is more to the factory's story.
Perhaps, it is being subsidized by the government because other countries would prefer the
cheaper Asian products to Nigeria's.

A truly competitive factory does not need government's bans to survive.

you probably need it in a country where people are wired to believe that imported goods are a statement of class

xcon:

haa you wan make dem starve?? that's what they put all their hope on na. not knowing even the SS don't want to be associated with them

Where are the childrens of the hates northerners.

Nyamiri crew
Yoruba crew


OP. Economy. Groundnut and cotton industries in the province of Kano provided the main source of revenue for Northern Nigeria.

IN GOD WE TRUST:
[ Arewa is the best ]

That one is a domestic issue. Save for Abdulmutallab, we don't export our bad habits abroat. At least the average northerner will not be mistreated outside the country. What about you people with all the disgraceful crimes you commit everyday?

splendour7:
sharap Afonja! Nigerians Have Always Admitted That Northerners Are Hard Working,just That They Are Lagging Behind Academically...The Lazy People Are You The Afonjaz!

Nna, selling fake products and armed robbery no be work oo. Lest I forget, chestbeating no be work too.

isthatso:


Actually even with the sea port, kano was running neck and neck with Lagos but 2 significant events changed the dynamics. First was the devastation of the IBB/Abacha era and secondly boko haram. The result was that factories in Kano closed down and also the Northern elite deserted kano for Abuja and also everybody else in the south emigrated to Lagos, so lagos grew while kano declined. Traditionally Kano has been a commercial trading hub long before even the British came. Even lagos's growth was influenced by goods moving to and from from the lagos port and kano.

you know you just can't pull anything out of your ass and call it facts right?? neck and what did I hear you say? you do know long before the British arrived there was already trade with the Portuguese right? If you really want to prop up Kano as the champion in the north then pls by all means do... (you will competing with the likes of Zamfara, kogi, adamawa e t.c) not exactly the elite list but the distance between Kano and Lagos can best be understood by calculating the distance of the earth from the sun. Look at the literacy level alone a key factor in attracting investment and tell me how Kano compares

Ahamefuna0001:


Look at how an Afonja son of the fallen demon wants to come spoil this beautiful threads. U guys are double-faced green snakes. What's your motive now? To pitch Igbos against the Northerners right?

The most hardworking tribes in Nigeria are the Hausas and the Igbos, cos there's virtually no state in this country that you'll go and not see this two sets of People hustling irrespective of how menial it is.

Wrong, yorubas are most hardworking and most influetial of all blacks. our investment is in brain not braun. the result is what bring the influx of others to come and make fortunes in our land. as long your tax is paid and contribute your qoutal to the development of your host community, you don't have problem. the brown roofs your people mention in posts are relics of ancient civilization, when those houses were built, your forebears were living in thatched houses.
