And the list goes on. By the time you read this more would have died. The situation is getting out of hand and the Nigerian government has shown that it lacks the will and the capability to protect the life and property of Igbos in Nigeria.

The killings must stop. If you are Igbo and you are still playing the ostrich, it could be you tomorrow, me, or your loved ones.

We shouldn't be lying to ourselves, the north is very violent.

DaudaAbu:


Yeah right. You can now clap for yourself.

I am sure your ''travel'' to many northern states means just driving through, otherwise you would have acknowledged that what the report stated is mostly true.

No region is more hospitable than the north. If you have stayed any where in the north for 6mnth - 1yr i am sure you would attest to that.

Places like kaduna which is like the lagos of the north (remove FCT), the business hub is Ahmadu bello way. Igbos own most of the building/businesses there. How many of them ahd been driven away on fridays? There shops are open and they run their businesses the way they like. Many of them would rather die there than leave the north.

Suleja too in niger state is another example, the no of igbos there and the size of their businesses is something you have to see to appreciate, how many of them told you they have to look over their shoulders anytime they are roaming around ? Infact many of them feel more secure in the north than in their own states

They might be poor and 'backwards' as your definition of backwards means. But it still remains a fact that they are contended with whatever little they have. And mostly, they are not ready to sacrifice the head or other body parts of their relatives to make quick money.

On respecting their culture and practices, i am sure anybody who have lived/from the south-west can understand hw they mostly shut down and area becos of one juju traditional festival or the other, now how many of us criticizing the north has been restricted from movement becos of one festival or the other? An sure the east too hav their own traditional festival in which movements are restricted.

Educate ourself

Being bitter and envious of the North does not mean you should roll out lies in order to make your point.

Well, you can say whatever you want against the North, but have you ever asked yourself why your kinsmen would rather die than leave the north?

Why would anyone be bitter an envious of the north? Why exactly. Don't bring in needless emotion into what should be a rational argument.

The reality is that EVERY INDEX of human development in Nigeria , EVERY SINGLE ONE is lowest in Northern Nigeria
Polio
Vesico Vaginal Fistula
Leprosy
Begging
Child Marriage
Illiteracy
Terrorism

everything is highest in Northern Nigeria.

The reason why people get so angry is because in the main it is largely preventable. The culprit is the backward Wahhabi doctrine which has and will forever keep the region behind.
There is nothing about THE PEOPLE of Northern Nigeria that anyone from the south can reasonably seek to emulate.
The whole participation of the North in communal Nigerian matters is based on quotas and a sense of entitlement. The people of the North have no wish to participate in competitive meritocracy and to that extent THEY ARE HOLDING NIGERIA BACK. That is the simple truth. Many people from the North get government jobs not because they are qualified but because they are from the North . We saw the recent PRESSID scholarship and how the North fared. What has Buhari done ? he scrapped it. He has gone to bring a professor of IT from an ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY to head Nigeria's government ICT department. You can predict where that will lead? Is that the best Nigeria has to offer?

Indeed when we say north we need to be more specific because Kwara and Kogi state are bright lights in a region of darkness.Specifically Hausa and Fulani are holding Nigeria back . This is not about hate or bitterness .It is the glaring reality that we all carry like a disabled brother that cannot talk at the age of 56 and still needs help toiletting.
There is no particular love lost between the Yoruba and the Igbos so the North should stop deluding itself that the south is against it. There is no south.There never was. Still the Igbos are not afraid of competition neither are the Yorubas so what is the problem of the North . Why this backward insistence on quotas that is holding everyone back.
Why is the North afraid of a break up since everyone is so jealous of you??

With all these statistics, the destiny of the country still in the hands of the North. Isn't it a shame on you all?

The rubbish you put up doesn't dispute the op.

How exactly is the destiny in the hands of the north?
Already we have a different destiny but maybe you are too deluded to see it? We in the south make music and films that the rest of Africa buy.When anyone outside Nigeria thinks of a "NIGERIAN" they are not thinking of a northerner. Is it health destiny no you have a destiny of polio and VVF
Is it women destiny? You have a destiny of hijab and child marriage
Is it technology destiny? well how many websites have northerners started?
Is it education destiny? We do not share the same destiny AT ALL . You better wake up. Your destiny in the main is the same as that of Niger republic. Illiteracy,fundamentalism,intolerance and women's inequality
Tell me one person of Northern extraction that is known for any meaningful contribution to humanity outside of Nigeria.

JUST ONE PLEASE
Tell us about any books your people have written that is useful to mankind?

Kabaam the guy is done. There is no comeback to these facts. He has no comebacks. Even the other guy that tried got crushed aswell. All he has is emotional responses. The region would be the same as Niger or Benin republic at best if southern influence was not in play.

I don't see the bad perception of North changing anytime soon. A region were they let radical and fanatics to tutor their young ones on hate towards non moslems. Op u can do more to educate your people to leave primitive thinking and crude way of life. Change begins by telling urself d bitter truth, most northerner cities are just time bombs. God save us all

Lalasticlala do you agree with him?

The situation on ground says it all. Nobody will say his/her mom soup is bad. If u run away from d truth it will take u and ur zone nowhere. I hv mingled with northerners, they have a lot of nice people but when it comes to religion and politics, men! Caution is d key

Read through the write up,....looked for the 5 lies about the Northern region,..found none! Strolled outta thread..........
