You must understand something, all Southern politicians are driven by untold degree of selfishness. While in office, they are all aspiring for the next office. The strategy to get on the ladder is to sacrifice their people, their towns and villages and their region. They do everything possible to please the Hausa Fulani Northerners in order to be favoured. We can go back a little to pull out some examples.

(1) *Gov. Peter Odili wanted to run for presidency*, he squandered River State money on Northern Emirs and Northern Opinion leaders. At the end, he failed.

(2) *Gen Obasanjo held up all development programs in the South and promoted infrastructure development in the North in order to get the 3rd term agenda through*. At the end, he failed.

(3) *James Ibori wanted to be a Vice President to President Yar’dua, in place of Jonathan*. Delta State Liaison office in Abuja, became an ATM for all the Northern PDP members. At the end, not only did he fail, he was sent to prison.

(4) *Jonathan Goodluck postponed South South development to his anticipated second tenure* and put in all resources to the rehabilitation of the Almajiris, Emirs Palace from Sokoto to Maiduguri. Built Abuja- Kaduna Rail line when Lagos Ibadan Express Way was impassable, East West Road was a mere historical concept; built and completed Federal Universities in Katsina, Jigawa etc but did foundation ground breaking for the the Federal University in Bayelsa. At the end, he was sent out of the Villa by the Northern INEC Chairman he appointed.

(5) *Under Jonathan, the then Minister for Aviation, Stella Odua, funded in full*, the rehabilitation & upgrading of the Kano, Sokoto, Katsina Airports but Port Harcourt Airport operated from a Tarpaulin, Enugu completely short down. At the end, AMCON took over all her assets and currently facing EFCC.

(6) *Our brother Ibe Kachukwu was the Chairman of NNPC BOT & Petroleum Minister* at the same time. He promoted the Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano Gas Pipeline. He rehabilitated the Petroleum institute in Kaduna when the Petroleum Institute in Warri was not captured in the budget. He was humiliated out of office.

(7) *Obono-Obla was appointed the Chairman of Government Asset Recovery Committee*. His target was only all past office holders from the South South and South East. At the end he was framed and arrested.

( *The immediate past MD of NDDC and Akwa Ibom State APC Governorship candidate, Nsima Ekere gave out emergency jobs (contracts) only to Southern Contractors fronting for Northerners*. NDDC became an ATM for “the Villa Boys”. Where is he now?

(9) *Rotimi Amaechi is lobbying to be the next Vice President, in 2023*. His first action is to sell the South and became a saboteur. No wonder why as a Transport Minister he found it very necessary to build the Lagos-Ibadan- Abuja-Kaduna-Kano-Katsina Rail line, Calabar – Maiduguri Rail line, Transport University in Katsina. The Great Eastern Railway line From Port Harcourt via Aba, Onitsha to Enugu to Okene in his books, is not feasible.
The minister is completing the biggest rail and road line into Niger Republic and towards the border of Niger Republic and other countries while the roads in the south are impassable. What Niger Republic has benefited in this Administration is bigger that all that south south and south east combined. Who are the MDs of Nigerian Ports Authority and NIMASA?

(10) *The current Petroleum Minister, Chief Timipre Sylva, has initiated the construction of the Ajaokuta-Abuja-Kaduna-Kano Gas Pipe line* to facilitate the building of a Gas Power Station in Abuja and Kaduna and “to turn Kano into an Industrial Head Quarters”. The man is from Bayelsa State where there is over 90% unemployment and no electricity light from National Grid.

11)” *Ahmed Tinubu, for his desire to rule Nigeria practically sold the south* and with his bullion vans rigged Buhari to power. History will tell of him soon like others.

12) *The number of appointments of people from Niger Republic in Buhari Administration is bigger than all south combined* and all the National Assembly members are aware but keep quiet because of future ambition and to avoid probe.

All these happened simply because the south is not United. It's very hard for Yoruba politicians to agree with the Igbo politicians. Likewise Niger Delta too

Northerners are very united and they operate like mafias unlike the southerners that have ego issues and fight each other till the end

If you want to know how coded and organised the Northerners are just go and live in the north.

Go back and read your history.. South East (igbos) have been united with core North since independence up till say 2011 or so.

They have occupied many key posts in government since 90s' more than any other tribe but have nothing to show for it. The same people claimed GEJ completed 2nd Niger bridge and all airports in the SE. Today we can't see anything of such on ground.

Leave South West out of your folly, we are connected to West Africa just like the North is to Niger Republic and the likes. We'll chart our own course in due time.

The Op couldn't be more right than this.

But you omitted the one that's still fresh in our minds, that of Emperor Wike, the Emperor of Port Harcourt who recently donated 500 billion naira to the Caliphate while his people are suffering under untold hardship of poverty, hunger, and penury.

Southern political leaders are Slaves, the root cause of southern problems.

There greed for power is what will make it almost impossible, the libration of the south from the evil and domination of northern Nigeria.

I don't expect this to turn to tribal discuss while leaving the crux of the post.

Have the southern youth and the populace demanded for accountability from their leader? While it is easy to blame federal government and northern cabal, southern political leaders remain the clog in wheel that must be straighten or replace for south to benefit from Nigeria.

Until southerners begin question their leaders and compel them to serve the collective interest of the people and not their eccentric proclivity, south would always be at the mercy of the north

There can't be a collective "SOUTH" when Igbos hate West and always prefer second fiddle position to North. I still don't understand the rationale behind that till date but had it been the SE and SS governors put in same effort like SW governors to rebuke the Fulanis, even the FG will have no option than to end open grazing of cattle.

Is it fear or hope for presidency or what exactly is making the people of SE and their elected governors chicken out from herders matter?
Most people in governance today are not Nigerians, majority are fulanis from Niger. They are the ones enjoying the commonwealth Southerners laboured for and m0rons like Amaechi are happy building roads to Niger while his own region lacks infrastructure.
