carinmom:Your analogy is myopic! Crude oil is exported from Nigeria courtesy of Niger Delta while billion of dollars are gotten from the proceed which is then shared freely to all while the lion share goes to the North!! They use this free money to build roads, import goods & all other services. Cattle, Goats, Tomatoes, Onions etc are produced massively in the North, much of the perishable ones get spoilt before they are consumed, that many farmers in the North are able to break-even is because of the demand in D South! Also a huge percentage of the cattle comes from Niger & Chad!! D South can do without the North but the North will become another Chad the moment we balkanize!!! Forget BMB, he is trying to be politically correct. D North is a huge liability on the South!!! 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Bruce feels the sign that he may be filtered out next election because he is not singing from the same page with Fulani. Many of these politicians from the old eastern region, because of the way Nigeria was politically restructured by Fulani-loyal soldiers, by giving north too many undue large number of states and local government councils, with too much over representation of North at the central politics; these eastern politicians must dance to the tune dictated by Arewa politicans, if not, the eastern politicians are swrpt away next election. 1 Like |

edoyad:Agreed however some of these foreign countries are not as greedy as most Nigerians. They are not as greedy as our leaders who wants to own the whole Nigeria. They pull others along as they grow but our leaders (most) are monotonous. They help govt. to help the poor or build the community while ours only think about themselves. These foreign countries employ some Nigerians and pay them good money while our leaders lay off people who work to earn these money, they will not even pay gratuity talk more of pension. You need to see people who have served their fathers land in Nigeria, you will pity them. Some schools abroad use their own resources to train Nigeria almost free of charge while Nigeria that owns the oil does what? We got independent since when? but till now we still depend on their help, what a shame! Ben Bruce, So tell me why should I fly Arik? |

The north is totally dependent on the south, without oil money they are dead, why is APC government blaming Nigeria economic problems on drop in oil prices, why cant they grant SE Biafra, That man is just a politician looking for cheap popularity, we all know the truth, 90% of Nigerian income came from crude oil sales. |

EasternActivist: These items you mentioned are not grown in commercial quantity in the South. Even ordinary garri for Abia and Imo state is purchased from Benue state in "commercial " As for rice, forget that sef. I suggest you try shopping in the Nort, even Abuja for food items.

Was it not about two years ago when I told my friends that hunger may kill Southerners if food seize to come from the North because most of us in the South don't believe in industrial farming. |

Xvenus: Here farming is a very big business, if you want rice in commercial quantities I will direct you. We have many rice mills here. Both old and new. If you want garri I will provide it for you in large quantities... Garri is processed from cassava, and cassava doesn't lack in the south. I can also add breadfruit for you for free in commercial quantities. The north can only boast of beans and onions in commercial quantities. But guess what sorghum can suffice. Yam is surplus here, just mention it... North doesn't feed us, how can you be feeding people that export? 3 Likes 1 Share |

Did Ben Bruce mention Igbos? He's talking to all Southerners both SE, SS and SW. Most of us judge Northerners by the shoe makers and carrot sellers on the street forgetting that there are many creme la de creme in the North, just like most people think all Yorubas are loud touts because of the bad boys on the street and most of you think all Igbos can do anything for money because of few bad Igbo boys. Let's drop all the stereotypes and appreciate people for who they are. There are refined people everywhere and local people everywhere too. 2 Likes |

3xtr6r: The problem with you people is that you hardly see clearly from objective point of view. The Biafra you are shouting, what will you benefit if the SS refuse to join hands with your region? Only one state in Yorubaland produces oil than the whole of SE and you are fugitively and vagabondly in every states of Nigeria surviving among those you show your hatred towards. Why can't you just tell your Governors, Senators, etc to leave their official offices all in the name of Biafra? Tell all the Biafra suppliers in the north and SW to leave their residence to form a state/business function where no consumer would be needed and let's see how it goes. An independent life is good, but an inter-dependent life is better as no nation can has all it wants for its citizenry. Get your fact right. 4 Likes |

Standing5:There is something you dont understand, a huge fraction of the tomatoes, onions, cabbage etc grown in the North gets spoilt before they are consumed because of glut during peak production, that farmers in the North are able to make optimal profit is because of the demand from the South! The moment South stops buying, a lot of farmers in the north will either liquidate due to losses or they will significantly scale down on production to minimize losses. They dont even have storage facilities to preserve them, its even one Igbo man that built the largest tomato paste factory in SSA here in Lagos to help them market their products!! 1 Like 1 Share |
