It’s time to probe ourselves as northerners, after blaming other regions – Shehu Sani

Former Senator representing Kaduna North Senatorial District, Shehu Sani, has said it’s time for northerners to look at themselves instead of blaming other regions.

Sani, who wrote on his verified Facebook page on Sunday, lamented that most public schools are free, yet our young ones still don’t want to go to school.

He said, “Many of us don’t want our spouses to work or use their skills or talents to earn a living or contribute to the family. When we die, we leave them as helpless widows at the mercy of a hostile society.

“Most young people don’t want to serve as apprentices in workshops or retail outlets because they lack the heart and patience to serve.

“Many parents in rural areas hand over their children to a religious teacher in the city, who depends on the children to beg or steal in order to feed himself and his family. For ethnic, religious, and sectional reasons, we have protected, defended, praised, and refused to hold accountable all our kinsmen who led the country at every wasted opportunity for five decades.

“The bandits and terrorists who kill and kidnap our people, deny our farmers access to their farms, and prevent our children from going to school are not from any foreign country or from the south; they come from our homes and families up north. We worship with them in the same mosque. We used to live together as one region in peace, brotherhood, and love, but then we divided and began to hate ourselves along religious lines.

“We don’t vote for people who will serve us; we vote for those who will provide us with spaghetti and grains. We concoct and spread all sorts of religiously inclined conspiracies to deny our children free health immunization against diseases, resulting in hundreds of thousands of blind, lame, crippled, and deaf children who grow up as victims of polio, glaucoma, or leprosy, begging in northern and southern cities. Many of our women and girls don’t have a business capital of 100k but own an iPhone worth N1.5m. They don’t have capital of 100k but can ‘struggle’ to meet up with a wedding asoebi of 500k.

“We deny most of our girls the right to go beyond secondary school due to negative perceptions about higher education. We don’t want our female children to wear uniforms. Whenever recruitment portals for the Army, Police, Customs, Immigration, and Civil Defence open, we don’t want our female wards to apply.

“When our children graduate from universities, especially public universities, most of the parents who attend to celebrate and appreciate their children are from the southern regions. Most of our industries and factories in Kano, Kaduna, and Jos have since closed down when our kinsmen were in power. Our farmers in rural areas are still farming with hoes throughout the period our kinsmen were in power. The groundnut and cotton pyramids disappeared long ago when our kinsmen were at the helm.

“All the spare parts, building materials, and pharmaceutical stores in the north are private businesses owned by people from other regions who were not backed, funded, or supported by any government. When our kinsmen were in power, we attributed our poverty and insecurity to God and to our sins; when our kinsmen are out of power, we attribute our sufferings to the King.

“The FCT is in the north. Can anyone explain why people from the region couldn’t dominate the private businesses in the FCT, Suleja, and Mararaba? Who should be blamed for this?

“God gave us the largest land mass, the largest number of people, most of the rivers, and resources and livestock, and gave us power for the most part of our history. Which of the favours of our Lord can we deny? The North; eighty percent of our problems are ourselves and not anyone ‘outside of ourselves.’”

money changes people

This is bitter truth

All spare part, pharmaceutical and provision stores are dominated by people from other region?

Na so them they take Sow seed of hatred towards igbos, the uneducated would start to observe and notice it's true then being a primitive justification and boom meet people with like mind and boom hatred has grown

This man has changed sha.. Since meeting tinubu he has changed big time

The problem is the majority of the people whom this message is for can't read it .

The south is been held down by the North

You are a politician senator, do something instead of shouting everyday like NGO or blogger. No offense but please do something about it.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
As el rufai arch enemy, it's not surprising he has pitched tent with tinubu.

After your attempt to blame Igbos failed, you then began to work your brain.

Bipolar ailment is after this man. Days after accusing other regions of misleading the north, he is doing a U-turn today.

I hope the brain reset can go round.

Even Delta State that has collected the highest allocation from The FAAC for the last 10 years, say them they protest hardship with people from Yobe, Adamawa, katsina & Gombe etc.

Which kind generalized hypocrisy be this?

No, they shouldn't probe themselves... mk dem dey busy dey cari Russian flags up and down.

Hypocrites dat don't contribute anything to Nigeria other dan Bambilaya beggers and terrorists. I spit on them.

Good morning to my Northern people

What u turn? If they had looked to themselves, it would have been harder to be mislead.

Same North that you have been very critical of in the past, now all of a sudden in hypocrisy, you all are now advocates & sympathizers of the same elements you despicably detest?

Hypocrisy @ its finest.

COMRADES, the North is majorly the reason why the country is still lagging behind

Shehu Sani new approach is Igbo hate. That's a guaranteed way to warm himself to APC

Yes!!! they're the ones that hv the right to protest self. There are so many oil wells and that in there state dat contribute alot to the Nations economy and only some few bastards are eating the money in their state unlike Yobe, Gombe or what ever the fvck you call those states,
What do they contribute to the Nations economy If no be terrorism and religious extremist.

And how is that different from the obidients/dotians who always hail others that are against government and not from their genuine heart. They abused Ndume when he was against Jonathan but today they are hailing him. They loved Reno when he was lambasting Tinubu but today they are bitter against him. So before you accuse others, look yourself in the mirror

The hypocrisy is that they are not protesting against the people in their state Delta that mismanaged their commonwealth like you exclaimed, they are complaining against the FG.

So a state that has collected the highest allocation in a federation for 10 straight years, is joining hands in glove to protest with their other sister states that have collected the least amount of money in that same period.

Does that make any sense to any logical thinker, what kind of hypocrisy mindset do you things possess in that country?

Stop using that word hypocrisy abeg. No body Hypocrisy pass those Northern states you mentioned.
If the Federal government don't want the protests again, they should allow resource control and restructure the country.

Do you expect me to reply you?
I don't do bitter debate so Bleep off.

This man is always talking rubbish, days after claiming that Eastern Front is calm and not supporting them, now he has stupidly turned to his kinsmen.

I thought alcohol is banned in the north, Who then is supplying to this man?

You are very correct! Nigeria is a tripod, it stands on three legs and two of the legs are badly affected with self inflicted catastrophe by the locals thus remaining just one leg and funny enough idiotic people from the two affected regions are taunting the one left to join them in the madness. I wonder where they think they can flee to.

Nigeria is the most prosperous country in the sub-saharan Africa, and if there is a total breakdown of laws and orders, no one will find it easy.

He who has ears let him/her hear the words of wisdom.

Everyone becomes a great leader the moment they are not holding an office.

Ok

What do you want him to do. Buy spanner or screwdriver to fix his Northern brothers brains?

When humans dont think right, they cant act right.

shut up, u tinubu lapdog. we know u were paid to make north feel guilty for standing against injustice by tinubu but u are insequancial in the helm of affairs. North is not blaming anybody but Tinubu government only bcs he is responsible for whatever is happening to nigerians.

The religion holds them down, their ultra conservative lifestyles pulls their pants down and apply lubrication to their rear ends then their disingenuous leaders of thoughts,politics and religion get rock solid phallic 9 inches hard-ons to which they proceed to aim for penetration and f**k them up anally, in a fast and furious manner. Whichever way you look at it, in an ultra capitalistic economy fostered by an ultra capitalistic President who won't shy away from taking those hard decisions to basically make you pay for that air in your lungs, the socialist cum ultra conservative cum non-liberalist cum non technology radical or innovative and Islamic fundamental northerners should brace for the worse because it will be a long first term....

from whatever region u are coming from in south I know that hunger is dealing with u ruthlessly. ur mothers are crying wailing about hunger comming out with empty pots, parents are fighting and killing their children bcs of food and north is the only thing that hold ur scrotum.
