They will come here to masturbate....

Especially after those threads exposing their rapist/incestuous habits in Anambra nd imo.

*Northern Nigeria is surely plagued with some issues now but one thing we are always proud of.... we were already civilized people before the colonialists came.

Unlike certain people that where still walking barefooted nd using leaves to cover their unclothedness.
Na dis same people wan form literalists after learning English language.... we up north already knew how to read nd write before the whites. We pride ourselves with that while others pride themselves with the colonialists language nd methods of education.(which is not wrong by way)


You want to know why the British gave naija to the northerners??
Because southerners where slaves! Plain nd simple.
People that had not their own mode of reading/writing until whites came nd taught them. No social hierarchies!

When they arrived north they found us with an authority nd chain of command. With laws nd guidelines separating us from the animalistic/barbaric life style of many tribes down south.

People who find it normal to bed their daughters nd sisters.

*Civilization is not by knowing grammar, its the stage of human nd cultural development that is considered most advanced. A People/society who are organized.

The truth is bitter.

If their culture was that sophisticated, why did they allow Islam overwrite it?

it is like mental laziness has been with them for so long. What we call north today used to be many small tribes with their own [slightly] varying way of life. The northern identity being promoted by OP and his likes today is an attempt to solidify the grip of Islamic influence over those displaced cultures and traditions.

It was the Islam that shaped that sophisticated culture before the west came and replaced it with what you are seeing now.

Fake title.
Hierarchical leadership is widely practiced by various tribes since pre-colonial period.

If you are going to talk about "best", you should at least tell us who and what you are comparing
against.
The north operated hierarchical feudalism of the elite rich and poverty-stricken lower class.
Nothing special about such arrangement.

BIG lie.The igbos have the best system which is called an egalitarian system, decisions were taken by every body by consensus that is why colonial rule was a failure in the region.colonial rule was a huge success in the North because the king was powerful he doesn't rule by constitution anything the king says that's all(Absolute monarch).That is why the British make use of the king because they know what ever the king says the people will obey (indirect rule).Am not an Igbo guy please note that.

I hope you are not referring to Yoruba's in your rubbish talk,
The reason the British handed Nigeria to the Fulani's(not North) is because they have no affinity to west Africa, they are strangers who were ready to enslave the indigenous people and allow the British easy access to resources.
You see how they kill Hausa's to allow Fulani settle?
