I refuse to give in to propanganda but if the map is true then it is no wonder Nigeria is not progressing. How did the Northerners manage to pull this feat of oppression off? The Northerners reminds me of bernie Ecclestone who has been ruling F1 through divide, brainwashing and conquer. How the supposedly more educated southerners can fall for this is beyond me. The rumours about the northerners being over represented in the government seems to holds more weight than initially thought.

niger delta states like cross river, Rivers and Akwa Ibom states should be opened up with a deep sea ports so that lagos can be freed up with the east bound traffic of goods and services

There is no way the northerners will let off this grip on Nigeria without another War. A citizens deserves her leaders, and I have been maintaining that the southern citizens need to stone their leaders to demand more for them.

Paranoia does have a medical solution, you know What is oppressive in that drawn up map or do you just talk simply to be seemingly relevant....By the way, good old Bernie has continually delivered a growing F1, year on year with an ever captive audience and yet, you make absurd claims with verification.

Dollyak:
Probably math or comprehension isn't your strongest point.
Then again how can I debate with the citizens who thinks Kano is more populated than Lagos.

Nigeria is the only nation in the world where the population in the desert region far outstrips the population in the coastal area. Stranger than fiction, the population density in the Northern Region is so huge there are more people in the cities of Kano, Kaduna, Maiduguri, Sokoto, Zaria, Katsina, Minna than there are in Lagos, Ibadan, Benin, Warri, Sapele, Enugu, Onitsha, Asaba and Calabar! Let that sink in.

The revenue allocation formula in Nigeria is tilted heavily in favour of population rather than contribution; it confers advantage to number rather than to input, it is the population of a state, its number that enables it to corner a larger share of the nation's resources. The same population determines the number of local government a state can have, rather than the volume of economic activities, the industrial growth, the socio-economic growth of that state. Nigeria just defy every logic, every rational logic that has served and continue to serve mankind and provide basis for growth, development and advancement has been reversed and made to look inadequate in Nigeria by the nation's special and unique approach to things, strange way of doing things and uncouth resolve to cut corners, to cheat others, to serve self and to deny others what rightfully belonged to them.
In view of all these, If the whole North East with allegedly equal population as Lagos can have that much more local governmen than Lagos then we have a serious problem.
I have been to many many countries, experienced and learned different cultures and their history, and I have never seen a situation as ridiculous as the ones you have in Nigeria.

Regarding Bernie, please leave F1 out of this as I do have insider info about Bernie and his tricks.
Anyways, give 'Bernie Ecclestone - King of Sport' a good read to know a little bit about the man.

Perhaps if you had taken out a little time out in your first post on this thread to flesh out your points, then perhaps my 'comprehension' would have been better appreciative of the thrust of your post. Having said that sha, neither you nor I has any proof on population of the north vis a vis the south other than the officially known figures and I would rather not indulge in childish fantasies which have no basis in reality.

Unlike you, I do not know Bernie personally and do not have any such inside info on him but I do admire his guts and sheer audacity. Like I once told you ....I think last year....I am just a fan who enjoys travelling and watching F1 live. I go check out the book when I get chance o.

Dollyak:

Lagos state 17.5 million-20 LGA, Northeastern state 17.6 million-100ish LGA stood out like a thumb. I do respect your opinion but I am surprised those figures wasn't a concern.

iyb:

Who says you are more educated than the northerners go to the north and see for yourself.

coolitempa:



Haaaaaaaa....now I get your point but you sure took a while getting there. Wow...do our politicians in the south not know this...how was this ever passed into the system? What is the criteria/basis on which LGAs are created? Is it based on land size or population? What is the revenue sharing formula? What is the established international best practice?

Dollyak:

One thing I hate is when people argue against well documented facts. I don't need to step in the Northern region to know it isn't as educated as the southern region. All evidence points to such.
No matter how much funds you lots get you will still remain backward with the current structures your political elites continue to maintain.

Dollyak:

Honestly, I really don't know what's going on in Nigeria. Perhaps someone can throw more light into this madness. Lol.
Every attempts to ignore what's going on in Nigeria has proven futile instead I keep digging and getting deeper.

For the citizen's sake, I do hope sense would prevail and everyone works towards the collective development of the country.

iyb:

Sorry darling you are nothing but a local champion travel around go to the north and see for yourself don't come here arguing about what they say in the books. Southerners think because they can speak English they are educated forgetting the fact that English is like a native language to them going by that analogy we have a lot of educated people in Arabic. Cheating is rife In your part with fake certificates rampant but you don't see that cos your eyes are blind.

Dollyak:

Again, I don't need to go to the north. Saying Northern Nigeria is as educated as the south is like saying Nigeria has similar literate percentage as Britain or USA.
It's funny how you are so quick to call me local champion lmao . What's next, Northerners have as much spending power as the southerners?

Thank goodness for middle belts who have continued to drag you up in social, welfafe, education statistics. You core northerners owe them

iyb:

Spending Power don't you know that northerners are the richest in Nigeria like i said local champion

Dollyak:

Per capita? Again I can see the effects of poor education in your reasoning. Dangote and a couple of more political thieves doesn't make the whole north rich.
I hope you are not the typical 'best', the north has to offer this country. Anyways, I am sure the northerners are great people apart from their elites.
