SirShymex: Well, in my own neck of the woods - "bigotry" has to do with discrimination and intolerance, not objective critique. And isn't it shocking that the female poster can see where I'm coming from(check her last post), however, you're too insecure to see the truth.

Also, I alluded to Arabic because I believe most Northerners are well-versed in the language, and since you've problems discerning my posts - it's only right that I suggest something that will make it simpler for you.

Next time, when hunting for those who have contempt for Northerners on these sides, I'll advise you to check their post history. I probably support the North more than most posters, and I do call people out from time to time, when they post offensive comments about your folks. Stop throwing hissy-fits everywhere, and learn to appreciate critique.

SirShymex: So, in your neck of the woods, "bigotry" means pointing out the obvious, no? Or should I translate my post to Arabic, so you can discern my critique? Also, you asserted that thread is about "Industry and Industrialists" - however I saw a couple of academics there. And the use of "den" in the header is self-explanatory.

Anyway, create a thread for Northern academics - I'm highly interested in that.

No beef here, I just speak the truth.

SirShymex: Lmao...not hating. There's nothing on the thread to even hate on.

Honestly, I was hoping to see a lot of things because you can't ready get that much information about Northerners on the web, since most of you don't really travel to the west. And apart from the car designer guy, Jelani, and a next nuclear physicist that's a visiting professor in one of the top unis in America - I don't really Northerners anywhere on the web.

I came on the thread to see if I could see a few achievers I can do a background on, and follow their career. However, I'm utterly disappointed. That's the truth.

Anyway, have fun.

SirShymex: [s]This is an hysterical lion's den.

When your population is in tens of millions, and there are only a handful of achievements, then you should be worried.

Apart from the few rich folks, those who achieved excellence via academics are mediocre. Heck, I saw a guy doing postgrad programme at middlesex uni on the list - shameful.

It seems other Nigerians have infected the Northerners with the art of celebrating mediocrity, this is so unlike them.

You lot need to rally around one another, and develop your region. Your folks are way behind others, despite the fact that "others" are also mediocre achievers - mostly book readers, and not critical thinkers.

Sad thread![/s]

anonimi: [s]Since you seem to have missed my very first post on this thread, let me re-post it and hope you will fully understand its message this time around:
[/s]

thriz: [s]So why is the north using marginalization as a reason for terrorism. Dan banza , duri uwar ka. The truth is that the highlighted wealth circulates among a privileged few, while in the south wealth is more evenly distributed. Ask yourself, with the likes of Dangote ( Africa's richest man) poverty on the northern streets is alarming. So keep deceiving yourself with those pictures, the reality is the reality[/s]

9jacrip: The Northerners are gradually making statements after statements, this is one. I can predict that some folks from a section of the country would begin to feel very un-comfy with how Northerners are beginning to drop their passive toga on NL. In a nutshell, expect this thread to hurt some emotional creatures who will soon begin throwing tirades to provea point (where there's none) of being better off.


Grabs a seat.

anonimi: My dear, the objective measure will be what RATIO of Americans are destitutes compared to those who are not.
What is the same ratio in northern Nigeria

Of course ther are some northerners who are also in the education sector but what is there ratio to the population of the North? And how has that affected the COMPARATIVELY low cut-off mark for northerners in national exams as posted earlier
As I said there are always INDIVIDUAL stars in each society, what is more important is to have MANY stars in the society such that the whole community/group/society/nation is BRIGHTENED by the CRITICAL MASS of these shiny elements.

anonimi: Firstly, this thread clearly points out that there are few mega rich northerners who are also smart & intelligent. There is no doubt about that. The reql question is why are there not so many of such people whose talents/intelligence is being harnessed through MASSIVELY provided education by their states and LGAs who are responsible for primary, VOCATIONAL, secondary and TECHNICAL schools.
The few INDIVIDUAL billionaires that are being highlighted on this thread, should also complement the state & LGA governments' efforts by donations to the education sector including scholarships.
That is what feeds into the cut off mark for national exams so they can have a quota in federal matters.

eaglechild: OP

This is what we need to see coming from the north not spoilt rich kids in super cars.

However, they should also empower the common man.

heilige: This list has not even listed the very top men

Ahuitzotl: [color=#1980BC] Laughable attempts at image laundry...It is common knowledge how difficult it is for a poor man in a predominant northern society to rise to the top in comparison with those in the south.....These arewa rats should empower their people,give them fishing nets not fishes thus saving them from shouts and scramble for a few naira anytime these oligarchs are chanced to come home.., [/color]

dozzybaba: ...and 0% almajirization. So we can at least have peace.

emmatok: If you think this is a good news.... you must be high on ALOMO BITTERS.
This is not a blessing or any good thing.

Even Politicians/ bussines men from the developed counties would not display such waste without been criticized.

The good new we want from the North are.
Good home.
Better security
Affordable and quality education
better healthcare.

berem: @prophtetone, thanks for the enlightment.
