In statistics that's called an outlier. Besides he building said refinery in south. The Gernearl statement remains true.

Pls explain what makes you think northerners are lazy and by inference southerners more hard working?
P/S: pls don't give me that crap about oyel money; because we all know that you guys do not actually produce the oil; the oyinbo man does it and simply pays the Nigerian govt royalties, which the govt in turn shares with its composite states.

you need education .

I will bring up oil because it does count. In economics anything produced within your domain counts towards gdp. The Allocation arguements and mineral right arguement holds weight. It's also reason why akwa ibom get most out oil money.

Let's more to IGR the north boast lowest gdp, IGR gdp grossly, lowest per capita IGR as well. Let's look at Kano vs Akwa Ibom or Anambra. In terms of IGR both southern state beat it. Mind you Kano is largest state with second highest population that can bearly match either state toe to toe on any metric.

If you look at graphs of poverty rates the northern regions always comes out higher aswell. As a region and state by state. In terms of IGR SE is 3rd highest politicial region and still bigger that at least 2 Northern regions put together.

Northern region boast many mineral deposits but remains under developed. The fact is that if laziness is subsidized through Allocation states will remain lazy. Thats why people on nairaland generally agree reform would be best.

You just proved to me that you an educated illiterate; you spoke of laziness and were asked to give reason why you called a particular ppl of this country lazy; yet all you could do was to give out figures of IGR, mineral resource and poverty distribution as if these are directly related to the indolence you spoke about.
I put it to you that you evidently do not understand the meaning of laziness; otherwise you wouldn't have used it as an adjective to describe northerners.
Meanwhile, I suggest you first consult a dictionary for the words lazy/laziness; then come back and try to justify your ignorant use of them on northerners.

I guess you must be an actual illiterate. I understand reading is not your strong suit. When I said lazy I meant in terms of generation of wealth and production. The context in which I'm writing indicated that. That's why I referto it as laggard region. The post wasn't about singular persons it was about economic production.

Anway you switch arguements aswell as soon as I proved you wrong. You knew what i talking was economics strictly speaking. I know this is true because you brought up oil. You knew you lost arguement now you want to switch topics. Don't bother me again if you want to be disingenuous.

Ps. If your not talking economics like I clearly was you need not reply me. The alication system does encourage laziness definition 1 economicly.

Absolute bullcrap, codswallop!

If you haven't read your posts; I'd advise you so very carefully.

Anyone with basic English comprehension would understand that the meaning of the word lazy or laziness does change irrespective of the context used.

It still means indolence or lack of effort, industry or input in any sphere of individual or collective human activity; whether economic, physical, intellectual, social etc.

Now refer to and subsequently analyze one of your own statements below, where you also used the word laggard simultaneously and explain what you meant by this LAZINESS?

They are laggard region due to fact the laziness is rewarded with allocation money.

My question was straight forward and never disingenuous nor did I switch argument - as I hadn't offered any argument except to pose only a question - which remains: how are northerners lazy and by inference southerners more hardworking?

Are you suggesting that the disparity in poverty or wealth generation between the north and south (which you mentioned) is as a result of laziness on the part of northerners?

Would you by the same logic also say an economically rich country such as Saudi Arabia, with a high GDP, is richer than Nigeria because its citizens are more hard working and Nigerians lazy?

It should become clear by now that your earlier statement about northerners was unfounded, illogical and laced with bigotry and ignorance - pls don't compound your position with more silly excuses - you made a mistake; just accept it.

Orikinla:

Northerners are now taking over the "Obioma" street tailoring business from the Igbo's in Lagos.
Without them, how many non northerners will do these compulsory jobs.

Saying northerners are lazy is idiotic.

Blue3k:


Lazy also means to unproductive. The statement fits like I said. Look the stats a showed proved my point. What is there for you to argue about. The economic stats prove this and by the context we were talking about economics.

This isn't about tribes or races this is about geological zones. All sorts of tribes live in Lagos and highly industrious. There's nothing bigoted about my statements about northern region or states. The stats don't care about tribe or ethnic background.
