“The North is the problem of Nigeria.
We are beggars,
We have the worst level of education,
We have almajiri crippling our economy.
The system of Northern Nigeria was built to impoverish Northerners….”

“Now is not the time to defend Arewa, now is the time to realise that something is actually wrong, and the only way of fixing the problem is by acknowledging that something is actually wrong. Just because your family is privileged and educated does not mean that is the reality for the entire Arewa.”
- Arewa youth says
It is deeply appalling and heartbreaking that a Northerner would argue that the South and the East are responsible for the difficulties Nigerians face in obtaining visas to travel abroad. Such a statement ignores the realities of Nigeria’s historical and political challenges.
For decades, Nigeria has had several leaders from the Northern part of the country who had the opportunity to transform the nation, including Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, General Yakubu Gowon, General Murtala Ramat Mohammed, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, General Sani Abacha, President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, President Muhammadu Buhari, and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s current administration has continued to govern a country whose challenges were built over many decades.
The North has produced many of Nigeria’s longest-serving leaders and held significant political influence since independence. Yet, despite this long period of influence, Nigeria continues to struggle with insecurity, poverty, illiteracy, unemployment, corruption, and underdevelopment. Banditry, kidnapping, terrorism, human trafficking, and other forms of criminality have become major challenges affecting the nation.
The alarming level of poverty and illiteracy in many parts of Northern Nigeria has created conditions that have contributed to social and religious tensions in the current generation. The greatest tragedy is that many Northern elites who had the power and responsibility to develop the region failed their own people. Through selfish political interests, poor leadership, and the pursuit of power rather than meaningful development, they have not only held the North back but have also contributed to the wider challenges facing Nigeria.
If the North can undergo genuine transformation through better leadership, quality education, economic development, accountability, and a commitment to the welfare of its people, Nigeria as a whole can begin to experience real change.
If you are wondering why no South African home and Abroad should be helped or shown compassion! This is the reason !
They are wicked people both Home and Abroad !

Immediately, Youths Of The Community Mobilised, Stormed The Bush And Assisted In The Search Efforts. The Victims Were Rescued Within 24Hrs. Did You Hear About It On Social Media? Meanwhile, Since The Kidnapping Of School Children And Teachers, The Youths In Ogbomoso Cannot Even Enter The Bush. As a Yoruba Man, I’m Ashamed To Be One.” ~ Man Reacts
“Kenneth Okonkwo Is a Failed Entertainment Entrepreneur; He Came Into The Political Space Looking For Money. Kenneth Had a Private Issue, And Peter Obi Tried To Help Him. But He Was Expecting More. He Left And Went To Atiku, And Atiku Helped Him. But The Same Thing Peter Obi Suggested Was What Atiku Gave Him. He Asked Peter Obi For Money To Rent a Duplex But PO Suggested a Flat To Cut Down Cost, Hence His Anger And Ranting Ever Since.” ~ Dr Koch Reveals
