SOCIALISM: You have two cows, and you give one to your neighbor. COMMUNISM: You have two cows, the government takes both and gives you milk. FASCISM: You have two cows, the government takes both and sells you milk. NAZISM: You have two cows, the government takes them and kills you. CAPITALISM: You have two cows, you sell one and buy a male. You multiply your cows and there is economic growth. You sell them, you retire and you live on your profits. MODERN CAPITALISM: You have two cows, you sell one and buy a male. You multiply your cows and you buy those of your neighbors. The latter become your shepherds, you pay them in monkey currencies and they die poor. AMERICAN SOCIETY: You have two cows, you sell one and you have to make the other one to produce milk like 4 cows. By dint of producing beyond her capacity, she dies. You take a consultant to understand this death. FRENCH SOCIETY: You have two cows, you go on strike because you want a third. GERMAN SOCIETY: You have two cows, you modify them so that they live 100 years, eat once a month and treat themselves. CHINESE SOCIETY: You have two cows, you sell milk to your compatriots and you produce plastic milk to export to the rest of the world. BLACK/ AFRICAN SOCIETY: You have two cows, you eat them all the same day and you dream that donors or the international community give you others. You go to a church or a mosque pray to Jesus or Allah for them to give you other cows. You fast 40 days and 40 nights without eating or drinking so that the cows will fall from Heaven. You recite "Hail Mary" a million times without success. You look for passages that speak of cows in the Bible or the Quran hoping to see the cows appear. At the end you have no strength to read the Bible or the Quran. You become a prophet of _the good news of the cows_ that will be coming soon. You die in extreme poverty- WHAT IS REALLY WRONG WITH AFRICANS? 5 Likes 3 Shares |

freeze001: Yeah, I agree with you. But the idea of each region working its own resources, coupled with a largely lazy, uneducated north has been the core reason of the north avoiding a restructure. They cant imagine starting from nearly zero when the south get untold profits from oil. Its a game of greed n selfishness. So, instead of diligent commitment over time to nurture each region, many would choose status quo. Our bane are these old folks that talk bigotry and sentiments I insist- the dumbest political move GEJ played, aside fighting Obj, is using that confab to play politucs instead of a swift implementation |

Nathan2016:what the guy said is d pure truth..either you like it or not the southerners are so free in northern nigeria..come to kano and see igbo business men you might think its onitcha...they build houses in the middle of the hausaz and and muslim community without consequence except during religous or ethnic crises perpetrated by hoodlums, i stayed in porthacourt for sometime its even difficult to see a mosque over there or rent an apatrtment as a muslim and that is based on the fact that SS is even more tolerant than the SE..so pls lets be honest with our selves ..if you think gej did anything to northern nigeria other than bombs and distruction in the name of winning 2015 election then you must have lost the touch of reality..i can categorically tell you that gej is the most hated president in northern nigeria not because he is a southerner but because he was wicked in dealing with the mass death due to bh.. building few almajiri school wont bring back lost lives or givin public money to northern elites wont solve the problem... 1 Like |

Thou shall know the truth, and the truth shall set thou Free. You people know the truth, but because you are benefiting the other way you refuse to abide by the truth. A leader should always talk about restructuring across the Nation and not just about a particular Region, because the North through their Military leaders have unjustifiably Created more States and LGs at the expense of other Regions. So any leader from the North should always profer solutions on how to balance this before any agitation for the North. |

Oga the truth still remains that the accomodation is based in the fact that you guys dont want to associate with us....for example do you think igbos and youruba love themselves too much...atleast you can see the kind of quarrel on nairaland....neverthless, you see them getting married, getting along outside, u see an igbo man leave his village and travel far north to associate with you guys....i have never seen anywhere in the south that they hate hausas oo...even most southerners treat hausas as their best friend.....is just that you guys dont see here as home, so why invest......while southerner see your side as home...so y not.. hamzeiy: |

thesicilian: Point of order, the Niger Delta is not educationally backward as you have asserted. A lot of those militants and freedom fighters are well educated and understand that the fight is not against their fellow struggling citizens but against a government that would take their resources and greedily and shamelessly redistribute it among themselves and their lackeys to the detriment of the region's eco-system. The north will remain educationally backward for as long as religion is paramount when weighed against human capital development. As long as the people don't question their social order, their leaders will continue to dupe and use them for their personal political advancement. |

ABOKI9ja: This is my problem with you people. You're never truthful. South hates north or the other way round? If we are to count all the religious crises Nigeria has seen since even before independence, isn't it your people that almost always spearhead and propagate such demonic acts? I schooled in the north for 5 good years and I know that an average northerner regards houseflies, cockroaches, rats, etc, more than their fellow human beings from the south and even the other Christian tribes of the north. I've seen northerners defend bees and houseflies perching on the fruits they sell, making statements such as: don't kill God's creature. But the same elements gathered up, including the almajiri children, with weapons like knives, sticks, stones, etc, to butcher Christians and mostly Southerners because mohammadu buhari lost the election in 2011. I don't need to go on counting all the religious crises and religious motivated killings your people have perpetrated. I don't also need to talk about how northerners, especially Fulani herdsmen, go about, killing raping women and men and destroying any farmland withing their part. Do I also need mention how some of you supported boko haram when they were only targeting churches, police and the army but yet, untruthful elements from your region still look for whom to blame for boko haram menace. You lying northerners should better cure yourselves of your hatred for anything or anyone not associated with Sunni Muslim before looking for who hates you. 1 Like |

[quote author=ABOKI9ja post=54731013]I might agree with his point. As a Northerner and Hausa by tribe I will like to share Northern's view on Leadership Of Nigeria Based on my Understanding. More than average of total population of Northerners are scare of any Southerner to Becomes president, Because of too much hate and Descrimination from the Southerners which is means there will be more Consequences whenever Southerner climbs number one seat. For Example, During Jonathan everyone knows Jonathan did not fought well on Boko Haram and its even politically Empowered by Him. If you to Judge fairly you know South hates North very much for Example, its hardly to find Northerner that owns House or land in south but if you come to The North you will be Suprised to find thousands of Southerners that own lands, Houses, and some of them are even in the Government. We treat them like our own people we do Business with them we employ them we give them Right to own Businesses we sometimes prefer to do Business with them than our own people and all we need from them is only to respect our Religion and Tribe Because these two things come first before everything. Thank God we dont talk too much we only do action and we dont care about what Southern media are saying. We might be a Prloblem to Nigeria as South and the only Solution is to let every Region go it own way Note: I only say my opinion and yours might vary from go to school |

olisaEze:You're right. But if you're from the Niger Delta (like me) then you'll see that they are one of the least educationally advanced regions in the country. The mentality of the average youth from there is why should we have to study/work for money when we can simply get it from the government? |

Alot of headline junkies didn't read this interesting interview. I recommend you guys download a text to speach app in these times. It helps with long stories. He has alot of false premises and bad arguements. His version of restructuring is different and doesn't include what nairaland calls resources control. I consider resources control individuals and companies have mineral and property rights. States and federal regulating stuff as needed. President Buhari is right, not to have approved the report of that confab because the national conference was not legitimate; it did not reflect the wishes of Nigerian people. It was Jonathan himself who dictatorially decided that we should have a national conference. It is he who appointed those who participated in the national conference; I don't think this was a big deal it's the ideas that matter besides. Nothing at that confab was binding. Let also be units and not the statutory states, let any financial allocation come directly from the Federal government to the regions. And let the regions establish as many local governments as they cope with them with regard to financial allocation with the centre. And in fact what they need from centre will be reduced Nope enough of spon feeding allocation system. We don't need to be sharing. Let's compete and grow at our own paces. The second restructure I want is that let us return to the situation before the military came in where the government played the leading role in the economy to ensure, equality, justice, dignity of the human person and progressive even development of the country. It is the major restructure, this is economic restructure. So we should have this political and economic restructures. There are other aspects of restructuring that we can tolerate as long as they keep Nigeria united as one nation and capable of equal development because as long as we have one region not having the equality to participate in the affairs of the country, we will not have unity, we will not have peace. Education won't stop the North from political participation especially when many already hold key spots. This premise is bad. Free education development is central to any form of national development. At the moment now because of historical development, the North is 40 years behind the South in educational development. If this condition continues, there is no way we can have national unity, there is no way we can have even development, there is no way we can avoid the North being the problem of Nigeria. The government in north aren't doing much to help themselves. Let’s not forget that because of the colonial policy, the North was left behind right from 1950. For instance, by the time I left school in 1951, there was no single secondary school in the North. I think that's a revisionist view of history. The colonial powers put schools where they could the elites in north rejected them. And that is why we in the PRP who aimed to bring about new and equal Nigeria to its God-given status, advocate socialist reconstruction of Nigeria, starting with the leading role of the state in the economy to ensure peace, equality, justice, dignity of the human person and progressive, even development. Free market is better. Equal development is a dream. You can guarantee equality of opportunities but not outcomes because people make different decisions. |

In regards to the content, sir I completely concur to your line of thought but these keywords were emphasized so much that I became curious as what your intentions are. NORTH being Marginalized. Although you narrowed it down to educational sector sir, I quite find it hard to believe it's as a result of the neglect of the federal government that northerner are behind when it comes to educational endeavours. First of all I want it to be on record that no region has been more marginalized than the south east. Secondly taking about educational sector down here in the south, its a passion we have, and because of that, you will notice we have more private owned schools than government sponsored. Whereas in the north, even though you guys have been in power more years than I can remember( with your suppose negligence of educational development), your leaders never deemed it fit to establish schools over there and even they rich among you rather build mosques than schools. To me, northerns weren't marginalized, they simply were made aware and still ain't being made aware of the need to get educated. You guys have the power, influence, money and wealthy individual to effect the change rather than blame it on marginalization from government . |

Re: Why North’ll Continue To Be Problem To Nigeria –balarabe Musa by 9jakool: 2:28am On Mar 20, 2017 |
One word- Education (that includes female education and "western education" One way to increase literacy is to stop child marriage that's rampant because it hinders education. 23 states have taken steps to ban child marriage, but somehow 13 Northern states haven't. The rate of child marriage is 76% in the NW alone. Stop making religious or cultural arguments to justify this outdated barbaric practice. Must a 60 year old grandpa marry a 13 year old to get to heaven? Ironically this is why the rate of medical complications like fistula is so high in the region since many children are too young to carry a baby in their womb (I wonder why). Religious and ethnic tolerance are important for security. Groups should respect their host. If it's their ancestral land, respect it don't try to claim it as your own. That's political domination. There should be better protection of the minority groups in the region and better political representation for them. This is why there is so much hostility in the region. That coupled with poverty/government neglect and you get terrorism. This has a ripple effect because it affects the local economy. If you want to promote a secular society that's tolerant of others, use the common law for all citizens. There is a lot of corruption in Nigeria as a whole, but the North is disproportionately more corrupt. More head of states have came from the North, but after all the decades of rule there is barely enough of human development to show for it even with all the oil allocations. |
