More of our revenue has been spent in the North than the South since independence and the southern region is responsible for 97% of our Revenue base in Nigeria.


Don't you wonder why the north came together and fought for 3% of Nigerias VAT, 99% of our VAT comes from the South and when Lagos asked for just 1% it was turned down.


Don't you wonder that when people of the Fulani extraction fought for their own local government in Jos, a land they were complete foreigners they were immediately rewarded with it but yet we keep fighting for restructuring and some parts seccession yet we can't address this in Nigeria.


Don't you wonder that Bauchi has stopped selling lands to Non indigenes because there are reports there is Oil there, they don't want non-northerners to own the land so as not to get the oil so there is a complete ban of sale, yet 95% of the Oil wells in the South South are owned by northerners.



Lets ask questions. Lets stop being fooled. we need to unite in the Southern Region, thats the only way we can correct things. We think we are smart by internet wars and insults, afonjas, flat heads ,NDAs etc thats what we call each other, the northerners rejoice at this, this is how they maintain power.



The funny thing is we are the educated ones, the master of industries, the skilled ones, the enlightened ones, the ones that bring the money used by the Nation , the ones who are exposed yet we can't be smart enough to see we need to collaborate.


Since 1960 only 3 southerners have ruled, and these are the times that had the highest recorded growth for the country. Lets be smart.


We need to be United Politically in the South. Its in our interest

k

North is Nigeria problem

merit455:
North is Nigeria problem

No we in the South are the problems, we refuse to think strategically when it comes to politics

And nothing but Street beggars to show for it ...

SalamRushdie:

We need to unite in the Southern region. Enough of the internet insults.


We are just fooling and "doing" ourselves

Any year there will be census, the North will make sure they'll have the president in order to add numbers to themselves.

If, resources that are in the south were in the north, they would have gone their way.

What u said z nothing but the Bitter truth.
But itz difficult for the South to unite cuz of supremacy battle b/w the Igbos and the Yorubas, and other conflicting interests, also the Niger Deltans have the perception that the Igbos re domineering, hence distances herself from Igbos.
The North East and the North West see themselves as one, even the minor tribes in the North have been assimilated or can I say pay allegiance to Hausa/fulani caliphate, that's why Hausa language hv been adopted across the North as the common lingua franca, Islam also played much role in uniting the Northerners.
The Northerners easily comes to terms with one another cuz history had it that they hv organized kingship system before d colonial era which makes it easier for administration and quick decision making.
As most Northerners are likely to obey what their Saraki or Emir say, unlike the Igbos that sees their Eze/Igwe as a mere warrant chiefs.
Also, in the North, there is a kind of Caste system, as the major lower class re subject to the fewer upper class, Unlike the South were every body z a king.
Op, naturally, it will be difficult for South to come with one political front as they are different people with different cultures.

I was banned by a mod that is deluded by Political correctness that's why I am using another moniker. If the world was so restricted by information we wouldn't be using Nairaland today. People should be given the chance to be exposed and decide if they follow a particular school of thought or not. I am not calling for seccession just a united south something Arewa shouts for daily for their Norther region yet you decide to censor me.
Now to the issue. You are right, but if Europe that fought each other for decades can unite to form the EU, what stops the Southern region. If we decide to do it,it would come to pass.

A united South will surely achieve alot but will the yorubas allow that to happen cuz they have this internal love for betrayal always stab at back when u thought your are finally in terms with them

Everyone has perceptions, this isn't the reality. We need to unite

what you seek, you will never achieve via this united south crap. only outright secession is the way we can ever advance.

Your dream cannot and will not be realized because:
Selfish interest
hatred
Lack of true vission
Always ready to do the northern biddings

Its not a Yoruba problem per ce, but the greed and stupidity of d so called "leaders". I personally believe gambari north is d albatross of a progressive Nigeria. They've been holding d south or say Nigeria back for far too long. Constitutional conference? NO!
Restructuring? NO!
True Federalism? NO!
PIB? NO!
Real Census? NO!
.....and we can go on. Thats why as a Yoruba, im in full support of Kanu's agitation. Infact Yorubas ought to be in the vanguard of such agitation. Hopefully my people will receive sense before its too late.....
