THE NORTH IS MISTAKING THE CIVILITY OF THE SOUTH FOR STUPIDITY... Dan Osa Ogbegie wrote; "I saw the below elsewhere and decided to share so that my readers would see the kind of Country we call our own. You can continue doing political correctness and call those of us who harp on the injustice, imbalance and unfairness in Nigeria names, but I can assure you that very soon, "you go see am for bodi". ------------- It took less than 6 months for the senate to pass the North East Development Commission (NEDC) BILL. It has taken more than 14 years and 4 presidents, yet the PIB bill is nowhere to be passed. It took less than 4 Hours for Kano State to be smuggled into North East Region for the purpose of enjoying from NEDC ( Kano State is in the North West oh, very far from the North East). For more than 10 years Northern Senators have been trying to define 'Oil bearing communities' .Does it include villages with petrol stations and pipelines? It took less than 3 months for us to agree to set aside 3 % of total VAT accruals to fund the reconstruction of NE. ( including VAT from alcohol. Alcohol is banned in sharia States). For more than one generation, we are still arguing how to fund the clean up of hydro carbon polluted sites in the Niger Delta and Ogoni. The Board of NEDC is made up entirely of people from the North and North East. The Board of NDDC is made up of every tom, dick and harry to ensure adequate geographical spread. ( NDDC has representatives from the North East, North West and North Central, even when no State there is a member). The FG wants to borrow 30 billion US dollars for 'capital' projects! Not one of this project is located in the entire South! Yet, oil located in the south will be used to upset the loan when due This is our country! This is our story" 19 Likes 1 Share |

So long as we indepthly continues to practice "tribercracy" instead of democracy, the North will always remains the grand deciders of the fate of other constituencies of the country. Absence of equality will always result to master/slave relationship in any sphere of human endeavours. Actually, even in the event that the country is restructured - regional-wise, the current democratic dominance of the North against the other ethnic components will still persist. Tribalism is an incurable disease. To this end, the only potent solution will be to decentralize power. Confederation is our best bet, if truly we are sincere with our intentions to continue to coexist together as a country and ensure peace, happiness and prosperity for all. 6 Likes |

benavatar: If you don't like the idea of North East development commission, there are several international terror organisations you can send an invite to lay siege in your region for 6yrs there after you will be entitled to such benefit by merit. What is in the PIB that actually benefits the Niger delta man? 10% development fund I guess? by the time you read in details its implementation framework you will be ashamed of yourself and the fact that a Niger delta president and Niger delta petroleum minister put together that nonsense. The last time I checked, the SE, SS,SW and MB have more representatives than all the NE put together. That is where the first parliamentary instrument called lobbying takes effect, the SS Senators will have to lobby the others to block it same way the North has always blocked the PIB. It will get to a point where a consensus of trade will set in amongst parliamentarians. It is not the fault of the north that SS people voted id!ots who lack the basis of parliament. Believe me, in that senate chambers they lobby along party lines not constituency interests. Just to give you a clue how dumb the South is in playing politics. Dr Chris Ngige was the deputy Chairman senate committee on power. while some states like Lagos got up to 2 DISCOS, The five SE states where he hailed from got just one. The bad news was that he saw absolutely nothing wrong in what he did, neither did he make any noise if the powers at the time suppressed his interests. Those are the brainless id!ots elected by southerners so what do you expect? When you elect a bingo how dare you ask him to act like a prof? 17 Likes 3 Shares |

The South is stupid Bro. If we are no we would have shown those people pepper! The northerners ought not to be more than hewers of wood and drawers of water in this country, but with the connivance of mumus like Tinubu, they keep lording over us.

We always think that the north is myopic, uneducated and stupid but the fact is that, the south is more educated but the north is more clever. You are calling somebody stupid but he is getting wealthier everyday and you remain the same. Who is more stupid? 4 Likes 2 Shares |

mikolo80: I have what I termed "my formula for power grab," for now it remains my exclusive preserve. Besides, this is an open forum. It's conventional wisdom that in every true democratic settings, the majority will always carry the vote. However, what's not true is that one must be of the majority clan to have a majority. . . . This is where politics nullifies the mathematics of 1 plus 1 equals to 2 answer. On the flip side, our (southerners) conceit, orthodox and leechlike attitudes are the main banes of our servile disposition towards the Northerners in the project Nigeria. We need a fundamental and philosophical changes. Always avoid following or associating a/with leader/personality who's not altruistic, contented and conscientious, if you believe in a honourable cause and pursuing one. 4 Likes |
