The North & Nairaland by MCUsman(m): 6:04pm On Sep 02, 2008
I have wonder why every bit of news from the North always attracts higher viewers’ coverage. Is it as a result of lack of focus that everything about the North is bad, or is it because some people want to castigate the north by all means. When you look at it people like DEEPZONE sniff the entire Nigeria dailies searching for any negative news to be posted on Nairaland.

To add credence to what I just said take a look at the 10 most recent topics posted by DEEPZONE and compare them with her other topics you not fail to see how she has metamorphose from a national critic to a northern critic.

or is it because some people want to castigate the north by all means

You are just another cheap northern hypocrite. this is the kind of argument the north use to fill government institutions with illiterates and mediocre in the name of quota system.

when l checked through your posting on the thread, intrestingly, you re always criticising the south, but nobody complain. If you re tired of clicking the keyboard go back to the north and be tendring cows or planting groundnut; that where you belong.

I find your hypocrisy very disturbing. Were you not the same person unleashing a deadly barrage of derogatory and inflammatory anti-Igbo threads? Please correct me if I am wrong. Besides, when will some of you Musli-ms develop a thick skin and stop seeing every criticism as an attack on Isl'am. . .?

Na you dey mind them. these same northeners that canvass for hate are still the ones that praise their dubious and evil kinsmen while bringing the good ones like Umar, Solomon lar and (the EFCC former guy) down. They are now clapping that the former EFCC boss who is a northerner is being harassed and intimidated. What kind of people is that?
Re: The North & Nairaland by boyscout: 9:09am On Sep 03, 2008
@ MC Usman,

I will say some arrogance exhibited by some northern leaders in the past may be the reason. And the fact that the North is rather portrayed as dictating the pace of 'development ' in the Luggard Nigeria. Some believes that without the North then the rest of the country would have developed to a super power ( whether that will be true, it cannot be pr oven).

And the picture the north present of itself, of being blessed with so many natural resource yet cannot find away of harnessing it.

On a lighter note, I think it will be a delight to see the Union of Deepzone and You. The Mutual attack will be diluted.At least you two will surely agree on some thing even though you will have fundamental things to disagree about grin

Re: The North & Nairaland by Eziachi: 11:12am On Sep 03, 2008
Usman, the reason southerners bashes the not too much in Nairaland with you as the only lonely northern voice is because their is no quota system in Nairaland. If there is, probably things might have been different for you and also may be you are one of the priviledge few from the north that knows what a keyboard means.

Oga,

Do you suffer from diarrhea of the mouth? Or you are just a wanna be?If you do not have better thing to add you keep shut? I may not agree with MC Usman in all things I do believe he has given us more insight than you have. He has tried to stress home his point quite intelligently though some may not by all his view but he has put up a spirited effort to defend his people.

So please respect his person.

I disagree. I think like a war he is doing as much as he is expected to do that is why others have allowed him marshall this. The quota system thing is not just a northern affair. I am quite sure in every state manpower employment in the state services is spread across board. And even the distribution of resources in the states.
Re: The North & Nairaland by Planner(m): 12:42pm On Sep 03, 2008

We all know it is not an entirely a northern affair. I am not aware of any southern elected official who is bent on putting his people in sensitive position even if the persaon canot read or write as the northerners are doing. If you doubt me and you are in this country try pay a visit to federal establishments in Abuja. Or better, visit any of the northern states. this angst is not for nothing.
Re: The North & Nairaland by boyscout: 12:53pm On Sep 03, 2008
@ planner Abuja is far fetched what of Podium Block in Port Harcourt.
Or Companies in Trans Amadi with Community insisting they want their own employed at all cost?

Or the recent trouble with Rivers State Sustainable development Agency where people are insisting that scholarship recipient should reflect LGAs in Rivers State.

Come on Guys, This things happen every where. It is just that it is easy to point fingers at others to be the source of our problems.
Re: The North & Nairaland by ishmael(m): 1:49pm On Sep 03, 2008
i wonder why most people on nairaland are always saying wrong things about the north and northerners. I pity those of you who feel or think that northerners are illiterates. Infact there are more lliterates in the south than in the north. I wonder what you people use in measuring literacy, probably reading and writing in english language. Rubbish!! Hausas in the north can read and write in Arabic and Hausa language very well, does that still make them illiterates? Some call them cattle rearers and groundnut farmers. Should dey also call southerners[b] pig [/b] rearers, fishermen and cassava farmers?

Do we not have illiterates in the Niger-Delta who have not attended any primary school and by all cost want managerial positions in oil companies? Do we not have illiterates in yoruba land, that can speak and understand only yoruba language and may not even be able to write, even thier names? Do we not have ibo traders that attended no school, though may speak and understand english but cannot write?
Just as we have them (illiterates )in the north, we also have them in the south-east, south-west and south-south.

Make we allow northerners rest i beg.

That northerners are not the only reason why Nigeria is backwards; southerners are major contributors that you and I know very well.

Hope you are not trying to disclaim yerima and mantu, the former who was described by Oga Ribadu as the most corrupt nigerian governor for stealing directly from the state purse; the Idi-amin way. While the later is a master in a game the northern elites survive on; lies and corruption.
Re: The North & Nairaland by boyscout: 2:40pm On Sep 04, 2008
@Ishmael

Your list is very brief
If this is all we have then I wonder where the whole cry of corruption is coming from. Though I know not your source but I do say this only reflects those that served in the Obj administration.

@nuzo
I agree with you that Ribadu did make such accusation but as at the last check Yerima was never called for questioning Even though a serving Sentor now and never fled the country.

If we look at it very well there were those that enriched themselves from the coffers of the government and others had policies mapped for them to get things done fast enough. I know for sure that corruption in what ever name cuts across all tribes and faith.

Yes, my list was very brief; you can read what i said in that post; i said "these are the ones i can remember". All i'm trying to say is that all tribes, region and faith in Nigeria are guilty of corruption and responsible for the backwardness of Nigeria. Why blaming northerners alone? Remove the speck in your eye first before removing that of another man.

Really? And you were only able to come up with list of corrupt southerners.
I still wont agree that your state of your shallow mindedness represents that of an average northerner.
Re: The North & Nairaland by BigB11(m): 4:12pm On Sep 04, 2008
Fact: Like it or not, the Northerners remain the most sincere and honest Nigerians; and this would remain so for many many years to come.

You can research this fact inside (among all tribes) or outside Nigeria; I assure you that your end result will prove that this fact is factual.
