Northern Nigeria Provides Nothing, Yet Benefits More - Anniko Briggs. by Masterclass32: 7:55pm On Jul 23, 2017 |
- Annkio Briggs called for a change of Nigeria's current structure - The activist said the north was benefiting than the rest of the country - She noted that the northern region was contributing nothing to the country Annkio Briggs who is an environmental activist from the Niger Delta has lashed out at the current Nigeria structure that sees the north benefit more from allocation sharing. In an interview with The Punch, Briggs noted that the north was at an advantage over the rest of the country due to having more states and local government. She said: “Today, we have a 36- state country with six geopolitical zones. The North has 19 states; the South has 17 states. Looking at that, you have a situation where the North has more senators in the Senate and the South has less. “What that means is that, if there is a bill that will be in the favour of the South, like what happened with the Petroleum Industry Bill – there is no way that PIB would have been passed if the North said it should not be passed. In the North, you have 19 states, 419 local government areas, 58 senatorial seats and 191 House of Representatives seats. '' The South has 17 states, 357 local government areas, 51 senatorial seats and 169 House of Representatives seats. So, if the Yoruba, all the ethnic groups in the Niger Delta, and the Igbo who are members of the National Assembly agree on anything that would benefit their people, and the North say no, the North’s position would be upheld. “We have six zones; all the zones must have equal number of states. You cannot have a situation where census was done and a state like Kano insists that it is more in population and therefore it must have 44 local government areas, but Bayelsa has only eight local government areas. “When you have allocation that is shared based on the number of local government councils, you would find how unjust the sharing is. The North, in terms of oil and gas, produces zero. “Yet, when we share based on local government allocation, the North gets 54.9 (per cent) of what we bring to the table. We (South-South) that bring 100 per cent get 45.1 per cent. Of course, it is injustice. When you go by state allocation, the North gets 57 per cent of 100 per cent that they are bringing zero per cent of, but the entire South is getting 43 per cent. “In the allocation of oil and gas, the South-South brings 91.54 per cent, the South-West, that is, the oil in Ondo State is 3.97 per cent. The oil in the South-East is 2.75 per cent. The North-Central, North-East and North-West brings 0.00 per cent, and yet, they take home more. “Somehow, people are able to overlook this and focus on the Niger Delta Development Commission that the government owes, and focus on Amnesty and the Ministry of Niger Delta. “We are saying, ‘Let go of the amnesty. Let go of the NDDC. The Ministry of Niger Delta, let go off it. The North-East Development Fund, let go of it. Let go of every palliative. Let everybody use what it has.’ That is the only justice that we will entertain now and pay tax to the Federal Government” https://www.naij.com/1116421-the-north-enjoying-lion-share-providing-briggs.html 3 Likes |

If you remove Northern Nigeria, where will Yoruba muslims see another towel headed sultan of sokoto to slam their head to? ![]() You know Yoruba muslims are not facilitated with the ability to see the moon except when a fulani Sultan in Sokoto who ties his head with bandage sees it first. How will they know its time to stop Ramadan fasting and continue with their skull mining business? ![]() So you see, my dear Annkio Briggs, Northern Nigeria has its own benefits. ![]() 23 Likes |

Annkio Briggs please stop badgering northern region or the political elites from the region. I suggest you direct your aspersion to the willing tools and inherent backstabbers patently sold the birth rights of their grand and great grandchildren for leftovers. The value of so-called crude oil will see increase depreciation in two years to come. Abuja and Lagos have been build for the deceitful scallywags from western and northern regions.

Am not really after who contributes more or who is more in numbers... My anger is how Hausa/Fulani's are destroying and sinking this great nation with their greed and obsession for power.... Our founding fathers built this great nation on truth, honour and courage... They govern the people who elected them with respect but now all we see is the opposite... one question I ask the Hausa/Fulani's is; If our current president was from the south or east or west, giving his current state of health, what do you think the northerns would 've done....... 7 Likes |

Masterclass32:It is a case of classic parasitism that they plotted against the south using a fake constitution to legitimize the grand theft. The Fulanis planned with their military juntas to continuously milk the south until such a time when the southern resources run out. Then they will suddenly find an excuse to break away from Nigeria and then begin to mine their own solid minerals to survive when the southern oil would have been long finished. That is why every southern group must first HALT FURTHER OIL PUMPED OUT OF OUR SOIL AND SEAS UNTIL WE HAVE JUST RESOURCE CONTROL OF TRUE FEDERALISM. Once you halt the OIL FLOW, they know you understood their game plan and will seriously consider a just country or leave now rather than in the future after sucking the south dry. 7 Likes 1 Share |

There are two types of Nigerians. The ones who accept "Northern controlled Nigeria" and the ones who do not. The former are the ones who shout 'the unity of Nigeria is not negotiable!', 'we are all one', 'we have no other country but Nigeria', 'we will go to war to keep Nigeria united' The are people who have accepted their slave status The latter, those who reject Northern domination, they are the ones who say 'self determination is a right, 'give us referendum', 'Nigeria is a prison'. Nice one by Annkio Briggs. Its good to hear from a non slave from time to time 6 Likes 3 Shares |

Very soon, an unbribeable group of militants will soon turn of the oil tap in the Bight of Biafra until the animals in the core north of the contraption start thinking like human being and enthrone justice. I lived in the north, an unoccupied landmass in the north as big as bori in rivers state would be termed 5 Local govts and receive 5x allocations. The allocation then ends up in the pocket of idiotic alhajis who live in Abuja and steals child brides. Sharing a country with hausa and fulani is a curse. 3 Likes 1 Share |
