Stop whipping up destructive sentiments. We don't need solidarity or unity of the south just in order to protect the corruption of a few because everybody pays the price. I want corruption to stop in my State and my country so that the resources can be used for the development of my State. If the man from Kano decides to keep quiet about corruption that is his business. Tell me how does it benefit a vulcanizer in Uyo if Godswill Akpabio is not held to account for corruption because Rabiu Kwakwanso was not. Is Godswill Akpabio going to give the vulcanizer part of his loot? These divide and rule argument is sponsored by the corrupt elite in order for us to give their corruption a free pass, and unfortunately many gullible readers here are buying that as valid argument. Blessed is the womb that bore you. |

sunsewa:
Ur on point, nice piece of work u have here,overwiseness and lack of trust is killing us here in the southern parts,thereby allowing the north to use us as the wished,I educated and enlightened a fellow Igbo people that out of Yoruba people and Hausa people,that the Yoruba are more useful and better to lgbos/other southern parts than core northerners, my reasons are as follows (1) lgboes and others can take Yoruba lands especially Lagos as homes, co habiting with them peaceful, born and bred up among them,thereby seeing each others as one,intermingling without barriers, same thing applicable to Yoruba people that found themselves in other southern parts of Nigeria lives born,bred their children that the grow to co habit peacefully and intermingle unhindered that most children and adults hardly visits their home of origin and can't speak their mother tongues, especially Igbo born and bred in Lagos this days,but opposite is the case in the northern parts,they are always after killing of southerners,that being born and bred there don't make a sense,u always know u are a foreigner in or country. (2) Southern people has the major cog of income to the running of Nigeria as a nation financially, taxes from Lagos and Ogun state, including the seaports,borders and airport bring big chunks to federal purse,east brings in taxes from nnewi,onitsha ,aba ,while lmo and abia state contribute oil proceeds,south South brings in oil proceeds,while core north doesn't bring the major the major chunks, but contribute minor chunks. (3)Core Northern states detest local and foreign investors at present due to issues of violence imbibed in their cultures and boko haram menace,while investments goes in droves to Lagos ,Ogun and other southern states,contributing to financial well off of Nigeria which they core northern states also share in the finance, if every southern states are infested with culture of violence and bokoharam,then we are finished as a country like Afghanistan and Somalia, lrak. (4)Yoruba's and others Nigeria state minus the core north,encourage Nigeria brewerys and other acholics brand in Nigeria and other foreign alcoholic wines and liquors in their business, eg most and chadom,henessy,Jack Daniels etc,in social life of entertainment thereby bringing income to government, also encouraging our music stars like psquare,dbanj,wizkid,flavour etc in running shows in southern States, without going core north,musicians smiling to banks and paying their tax,event hosters also doing the same,but we all share the money from Federal purse. (5)finally yorubas and other southern state people are always bringing inventions and innovations individually in Nigeria and overseas,breaking and setting academics records to the credit of the country.

criminalmindz: friends and colleagues from every part of the nation and some of my best friends are not even from my side of the country.
However, recent events are making me to have a deeper reflection and I wish we- Southerners in this instance- can have some kind of introspection. Out of 25 appointments made so far, 18 are from the North, 3 are from the South West, 4 are from the South South while the South East has ZERO appointments. A tweet which I saw today stated that “southerners are only competent when it’s time for elections but northerners are competent in terms of governance” and this made the following thoughts run through my mind:
1. Only Southerners have been accusing fellow Southerners of corruption. Oshiomole has been attacking Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala as if Ngozi turned down his marriage proposal. The same Oshiomole tried to make nonsense of Akinwumi Adeshina’s successes in the agriculture sector. Ambode tried to pull Fashola down and successfully smeared him with stains. Maybe that’s why Fashola did not get the Chief of Staff role. I’m yet to see a Northerner accuse another Northerner of corruption, even when they belong to different parties. The closest a Northerner got was when the new Kano State Governor attacked Rabiu Kwankaso but he quickly sheathed his sword and even disowned previous reports of attacks. Why are we like this?
2. Are Southerners the only ones who are corrupt? Were there no northerner heading the ministries and parastatals? Did the outgone Comptroller-General of Customs, Abdullahi Dikko not have an alleged case of certificate forgery but he still served out his tenure until he resigned voluntarily? I’m not in support of corruption under any guise but the fight against corruption must not be seen to be sectional.
3. How come it’s easier for the President to believe that Sanni Abacha was not corrupt in spite of recovered loot while it is so easy for him to believe Goodluck Jonathan is irredeemably corrupt?
4. I still remember that aside from God, Tinubu made Tambuwal what he is today. The same Tambuwal would later call Femi Gbajabiamila ‘incompetent’ and rated Dogara as more competent. The same Tambuwal was propped up by Tinubu, a Southerner against a fellow Southerner, Mulikat Akande. Obasanjo was very key to denying Goodluck Jonathan a second term. A good number can still recall how OBJ tore his PDP membership card in public glare. The Northerners find it easy to support themselves but we are always pulling ourselves down. Babangida Aliyu, Sule Lamido and all the other Northern Governors including the former PDP Chairman Adamu Muazu often times refused to campaign for Goodluck Jonathan openly and many times even espoused the virtues of the opposing candidate on the rostrum!
5. Southern leaders and Presidents pull down Southern business men but prop up Northern ones. How many people still remember how Obasanjo ran Mike Adenuga out of town but both Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan made Aliko Dangote what he is today. No northern leader goes against their own. I dare to put it on record that President Buhari will never go against Aliko Dangote for any reason.
6. How come OBJ pardoned Salisu Buhari, the ex-Speaker who forged his credentials and he later was given an appointment as a Governing Council member of a University and heavens did not fall- but when Goodluck Jonathan pardoned Alamieyeseigha it became one of the major issues counted against him? Is there one rule for some and another rule for others?
7. We find it easy to raise our voices in support of the deportation of Buruji Kashamu but have no qualms with Atiku Abubakar strutting around the corridors of power.
8. Only Southerners find it so easy to abuse their elders when they voice opinions not in tandem with the popular opinion. We find it easy to diss Afenifere elders and call them ‘Afenifebi’ while hurling expletives and curses at them. We even abuse our kings and priests. Northerners will never abuse an Emir no matter how unpopular what he said is. Can you imagine any Northerner raising his voice against the Sultan? In spite of Tanko Yakassai, Balarabe Musa and Dangiwa Umar’s perceived support for Jonathan, northern youths did not abuse them. But our own youths run down our elders on social media while our educated elite also support the act.
These are some of the thoughts that have been running through my mind. I don’t pretend to have all the answers and I do this at the risk of being labelled an ethnic bigot. The point however is that Southerners have to get their acts right. We have to put our house in order. The bickering must stop. Let’s engage our emotional intelligence. Let’s not allow others to exploit our tendency to self-destruct.

To be fair, you made excellent points, however, this tendency which I agree, can easily lead that region to self-destruct is what guarantees a natural selection process that ensures the most capable survive, compare an elite group who understand its actions will face scrutiny to one that act with impunity, the former will always perform better, but I understand there are plenty of work to be done. criminalmindz: friends and colleagues from every part of the nation and some of my best friends are not even from my side of the country.

You're correct, you sometimes need foreign media and institutions to remind you of achievements of individuals like Wole Soyinka, Chinua Achebe......cos left for our youths(in order to score tribal points), these men are "overrated, dumb, senile, brain-dead........", so outrageous! natureblack: A good head and sincere heart are always a formidable combination.I appreciate your straight-from-the-heart post.
But,you forgot to add the rivalry between the two Southern majority tribes_the Igbo and Yoruba.
The degree of mutual suspicion and antagonism between these tribes has so poisoned the Southern political atmosphere to the extent that fraternal rapprochement seem a farfetched possibility.This unfortunate development has corroded and eroded any vestiges of future political unity between us.This also plays into power calculations from the ruling classes of Northern Nigeria;and they exploit it to the fullest of our disadvantage and envy.
Worse,there is no sign that the Igbo and Yoruba are willing to sincerely address and resolve the retrogressive situation to create for a respectable political and economic future for Southern Nigeria generally.The unending tribal e-battle between the Yoruba and Igbo on Nairaland everyday is a case-study.
So long both parties maintain their positions,so long we'll remain removed from Nigeria's political equation.THE TRUTH NEEDS NO COLOUR. |

This response wouldn't have been necessary if not for the immature, dishonest and hypocritical bickering of some dubious elements out to overheat the polity for their selfish gain.
With all sincerity, you need to have your brain examined! Why not google the number of northerners GEJ appointed...atleast someone did justice to that on the front page. You folks will just spill thrash always.... |

Can you dare take your grievances to the street? I see you people as unserious people, you fear more than the house rat, only one gunshot to the air, you will run from your house.
You think tearing apart is by mouth or very active on Nairaland?

4. I still remember that aside from God, Tinubu made Tambuwal what he is today. The same Tambuwal would later call Femi Gbajabiamila ‘incompetent’ and rated Dogara as more competent. The same Tambuwal was propped up by Tinubu, a Southerner against a fellow Southerner, Mulikat Akande. Obasanjo was very key to denying Goodluck Jonathan a second term. A good number can still recall how OBJ tore his PDP membership card in public glare. The Northerners find it easy to support themselves but we are always pulling ourselves down. Babangida Aliyu, Sule Lamido and all the other Northern Governors including the former PDP Chairman Adamu Muazu often times refused to campaign for Goodluck Jonathan openly and many times even espoused the virtues of the opposing candidate on the rostrum!
5. Southern leaders and Presidents pull down Southern business men but prop up Northern ones. How many people still remember how Obasanjo ran Mike Adenuga out of town but both Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan made Aliko Dangote what he is today. No northern leader goes against their own. I dare to put it on record that President Buhari will never go against Aliko Dangote for any reason.
6. How come OBJ pardoned Salisu Buhari, the ex-Speaker who forged his credentials and he later was given an appointment as a Governing Council member of a University and heavens did not fall- but when Goodluck Jonathan pardoned Alamieyeseigha it became one of the major issues counted against him? Is there one rule for some and another rule for others?
7. We find it easy to raise our voices in support of the deportation of Buruji Kashamu but have no qualms with Atiku Abubakar strutting around the corridors of power.
8. Only Southerners find it so easy to abuse their elders when they voice opinions not in tandem with the popular opinion. We find it easy to diss Afenifere elders and call them ‘Afenifebi’ while hurling expletives and curses at them. We even abuse our kings and priests. Northerners will never abuse an Emir no matter how unpopular what he said is. Can you imagine any Northerner raising his voice against the Sultan? In spite of Tanko Yakassai, Balarabe Musa and Dangiwa Umar’s perceived support for Jonathan, northern youths did not abuse them. But our own youths run down our elders on social media while our educated elite also support the act.
These are some of the thoughts that have been running through my mind. I don’t pretend to have all the answers and I do this at the risk of being labelled an ethnic bigot. The point however is that Southerners have to get their acts right. We have to put our house in order. The bickering must stop. Let’s engage our emotional intelligence. Let’s not allow others to exploit our tendency to self-destruct.
May God bless you with more wisdom, because that's all it takes to survive a world filled with ignorance. NB: I'm an unapologetic fan of GEJ 1 Like |

criminalmindz: friends and colleagues from every part of the nation and some of my best friends are not even from my side of the country.
However, recent events are making me to have a deeper reflection and I wish we- Southerners in this instance- can have some kind of introspection. Out of 25 appointments made so far, 18 are from the North, 3 are from the South West, 4 are from the South South while the South East has ZERO appointments. A tweet which I saw today stated that “southerners are only competent when it’s time for elections but northerners are competent in terms of governance” and this made the following thoughts run through my mind:
1. Only Southerners have been accusing fellow Southerners of corruption. Oshiomole has been attacking Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala as if Ngozi turned down his marriage proposal. The same Oshiomole tried to make nonsense of Akinwumi Adeshina’s successes in the agriculture sector. Ambode tried to pull Fashola down and successfully smeared him with stains. Maybe that’s why Fashola did not get the Chief of Staff role. I’m yet to see a Northerner accuse another Northerner of corruption, even when they belong to different parties. The closest a Northerner got was when the new Kano State Governor attacked Rabiu Kwankaso but he quickly sheathed his sword and even disowned previous reports of attacks. Why are we like this?
2. Are Southerners the only ones who are corrupt? Were there no northerner heading the ministries and parastatals? Did the outgone Comptroller-General of Customs, Abdullahi Dikko not have an alleged case of certificate forgery but he still served out his tenure until he resigned voluntarily? I’m not in support of corruption under any guise but the fight against corruption must not be seen to be sectional.
3. How come it’s easier for the President to believe that Sanni Abacha was not corrupt in spite of recovered loot while it is so easy for him to believe Goodluck Jonathan is irredeemably corrupt?
4. I still remember that aside from God, Tinubu made Tambuwal what he is today. The same Tambuwal would later call Femi Gbajabiamila ‘incompetent’ and rated Dogara as more competent.
