Why not?

Southern Nigerians are always quick to mention that the Northern region is the worst in all human development indices, the highest level of poverty, and always claim it is the region that is dragging the rest of the country backward.

What then is wrong if the President responsible for the progress of the whole country asks the World Bank to focus on the North? The region that is claimed to be impeding the country's collective progress?

Is this plain hypocrisy, wickedness or collective bipolarity of southerners?

World Bank, please continue your focus on the "backward" North.

I wish I saw this earlier, would have made this comment on the first page for all to see. but if you reading this now and you like it pls share.

1. the world bank chief who released that statement was critical about the president, in his words, he knows that investing in the north will not yield fortune until the next decade
2. Nigeria as a country needs critical economic growth, will you put ur money in a place where the security is highly unstable, the entrepreneurship ability is on the lowest, and so many others.
3. every region in nigeria is under developed, but in the north it's worse.....it is self inflicted by its own people.

I see no reason why FG can't invest in a Lagos the will grow it by 1% rather than wait decades for a north to grow by 0.5%

And in your one track mind, you think ONLY the South will bear the cost of repayment?

Do you realize if every region is contributing to repay, the North will contribute more than the South East that seems to be complaining the most? What is your entire IGR as a region? Are Kano and Kaduna alone not more productive than the entire South East? Look at the table below.

If anyone should complain about repayment it should be the oil rich SS and industrious SW, not the unproductive SE.

You deceive nobody by hiding under the label of "South".


This IGR madness had been refuted time and time never to mean economic progress and development... with all the stated IGR, how come u have more poverty rate in that arid region than others while wielding the best IGR?

It goes to show that there is something beyond an IGR. Better get ur population to work rather than lazy around and churn out unrealistic stats that wouldn't correspond with economic and human overall development and progress

lol. Will you even mind these people. They same people that will remind everybody that cares to listen that the north is the most backward region in the country are the same people accusing the president for asking the WB to focus it's economic development projects/programs on the north.

I don't know, but were they expecting the world Bank to focus on their "Eldorado south which is clearly the most developed place" on the surface of the earth? That's according to them. Lol

The South doesn't need any development programs from world Bank because it has already developed, rather the north needs it!!! Anybody who isn't happy with this should jump into the nearest pit toilet. Lol


Eyaaa sorry oo

Accept my condolences

BUHARI has been in power for 2yrs
Direct WB to focus on North

This particular scheme shettima mentioned yesterday when he said almost all u guys are living in abject poverty

Another headed by Danjuma

All of these and more

Tell me
Has that stop you from consuming over 3m bottles of codeine already for today?

Have you not sniff latrines this morning just to get high



Let them bring all the money in this world to ur region the result is like throwing hand fan into the air it will always lie down flat on reaching the ground

Ur mindset is skewed already

And investing into the lives of people is like pouring water into basket it will only wet not hold

Equity demands that the North should be focused upon for development, since the rest of the country claims its the most undeveloped and responsible for the country's lack of progress. That is equity.

Abi is the North not the most undeveloped again? Lol.

No it's not the same, and it's lower in most vases and keep in mind it caters for a much larger population. Why then are you surprised and complain about the higher rate of poverty in the region?

Be objective for once.

Will you stop with stupidity?

Let's even start with the lie that Jonathan ruled for 8 yrs when he only ruled for 5yrs yet you want us to take you serious?

Moreover, how is it anyone's fault that the North is backward? Do we have to use the resources of the south to cater for the Northerners who has ruled Nigeria more than any group?

What about Osun? Is it as developed as Kano? Yet one parasitic clown is shouting about developing the North while the south is kept stand still in the process. If this is what we have as Northern's brain, then it's a shame!
Re: OPINION: Why Buhari Is Right In Asking The World Bank To Focus On The North by BakireBulmaker: 11:12am On Oct 13, 2017
PMB can never be right!

QuotaSystem ensures that the north is not left out in situations where pure merit would have almost completely left them out.

All the directors in the civil service that failed promotional exams are from the north. Yet they still got promoted. What a shame!! angry

Hence, same quota system should apply when the world bank is carry out programs.

Isn't it? What is good for goose is good for the gander!!! smiley

You are very ignorant base on your IGR rubbish, IGR doesn't measure poverty index, I guess you are pathologically liar by writing Kano and Kaduna IGR covers southeastern states from the table you posted (2016 IGR) Kano recorded 27% Enugu 25%, Abia 23 %; Kaduna 23% and three eastern states are oil producing states, Anambra eastern commercial capital IGR was not recorded in the table, Anambra is second in commerce after Lagos

The South has ruled Nigeria the most since 1999, why do we still have cries of southern marginalization, cries for restructuring, general poor power supply etc?

Jonathan was in the presidency for 8 years, why is there still endemic poverty and underdevelopment in the SS? Why has Ogoni still not been cleaned up? Why is there no 2nd Niger Bridge? Why are the roads in the East an eyesore and why is iboland caving-in to erosion?

The answer is bad leadership nationwide, coupled with the huge population in the North with limited resources.

Is goodluck Jonathan from south east??
Re: OPINION: Why Buhari Is Right In Asking The World Bank To Focus On The North by Blue3k(m): 1:24pm On Oct 13, 2017
I give the argument that quotasystem. The north is behind and most impoverished statistically. Focusing on them in areas of poverty alleviation make sense. We already agree 70% of poverty is there why 30% is in south. That's not to say the world Bank should exclusively do work in North obviously.

If north and south got to same general parity in poverty rates. It would do a lot if good. There are some general issues they need to solve in terms of economic and education policies. Then look for ways get into manufacturing, mining , and advancing agriculture potential.

I didn't say they were in North exclusively. I said it makes sense to focus on north. I also said they shouldn't focus on one region exclusively obviously.

The world Bank is everywhere. They gave Ondo loans and helped Akwa Ibom with water program.

The southerners did not hold the northerners down and out of self help. Most of the good looks of human development indices in southern Nigeria were not necessitated by World Bank endeavor or a burden on collective capital but self help. The north should stop looking to government for assistance.

Everything is wrong about the goon of president to ask the world Bank to focus on the north. Is north the so-called federal republic of Nigeria? Where is the unity the domesticated dingbats in Nigeria will invoke to suit their moronic and selfish ends?

All I can say is that the op does not know the meaning of focus.




Reading without understanding is ignorance.

Ignorance was the reason Buhari gave the directive.
It was also the reason why he read a speech at the UN which had no problems in Nigeria addressed.
Ignorant leaders give birth to ignorant follower.


Leadership is a seat of wisdom, but unfortunately the reverse is the case in Nigeria.
