another story of Northern Nigeria receiving preferential subsidies while development in the region somehow remains stagnant. Governor Zulum’s efforts to subsidize petrol and distribute farm inputs to farmers affected by Boko Haram insurgency are commendable in the immediate sense, but they shine a glaring spotlight on the deeper systemic inequalities.

Meanwhile, down south, where people are often left to fend for themselves, subsidies like these are nonexistent or riddled with bureaucratic bottlenecks. Southern farmers and communities dealing with their own challenges rarely see this level of direct intervention. Yet, the North continues to lag in basic development indices despite decades of such targeted support.

It’s the same old pattern: massive resources pumped into the region, but little to show for it in terms of sustainable progress. This cycle keeps the North dependent, while the South hustles its way to growth with minimal federal support. It's frustrating because it feels like the scales are always tipped, yet the outcomes remain lopsided. The question is: when will this imbalance end, and when will the North turn these opportunities into real development?

Because after the 1966 counter coup, when they exacted their revenge and wanted to seperate from Nigeria, the British advised them that can you not see what Ironsi has done for you with the unification decree? The country now belongs to you. Since then they have moved from a region that was afraid to be part of Nigeria to a region that feels it is it’s right to rule Nigeria.

I think they've invested too much to pull out
And who knows, what if they follow this as their own brand?

Bullshit!

The same ISIS that is now openly being embraced by the US, Israel and NATO?

This has nothing to do with ISIS as ISIS will never dare attack the US or Israel.

This vet went full John Rambo and took offense against his own country deceiving him to fight against Islamic terrorists and in the process losing his brothers in arms .

How would you feel if you were a US vet who bled and fought against so-called terrorists only to find out your own government created, propped up and supported same terrorists ?

How would you feel knowing you and your brothers in arms were duped and that many of your own comrades died fighting a so-called war on terrorism and some suffered PTSD and have been abandoned by their own government and many more having commited suicide?

This has nothing to do with ISIS.

This is something much more scary to the deep state and it's their own golems turning back on them.

And your master and god .. stole the mandate and told his foolish dog to announce result by 4:00am

Make he try am again and see that villa burn ..

No be jokes ..

Exactly what I have been trying to point out..

North West joining with North East alone can't produce President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. When they will realize their blunder with the way they're looking away as herdsmen continue to kill people from Plateau to Benue across Middle Belt region, it will be too late.

Should the Middle Belt decide to ally politiclly with South, no core Northerner will ever become President of Nigeria again. Buhari might just be the last core Northerner President.

[b][/b]Having look through how the 2023 election played out, I can conclude that the former President Buhari actually wanted Peter Obi as President. This is a conclusion made after considering so many of the happenings before the election. Emefiele paid some part. Uzodinma played some part. Omisore played some parts. Uzodinma's part angered wike so much at some point. So many things happened in that election.

Why is our security intelligence this poor, when this guy could have been used to get the location of Boko Haram and even his brother too could have been used to get these evil people, you arrested the cjtf member and left the brother who is a Boko Haram member. And you have made his arrest public in a haste instead of tailing him to get to his brother and to the rest of his people. The Nigerian Police can do better please.
