The Only Elixir To Nigeria's Coming Disaster
Please fact check me: In 1960 Nigeria's population was under 45 million and the United Kingdom's population was 52 million. Sixty four years later, Nigeria's population is 220 million, while the United Kingdom's population is 67 million. In one generation, we have multiplied by five. Meanwhile, our landmass and resources, have not multiplied by five. In some cases, they have reduced due to desertification, erosion, and deforestation.
That is the main cause of the present economic and social challenges facing the nation and especially Northern Nigeria.
Most of Nigeria's population explosion comes from the North. From the latest UNFPA data, Northern Nigeria is growing at twice the rate of Southern Nigeria.
Population control is a taboo subject in Northern Nigeria. Anybody who mentions it can quickly become a political pariah. Politicisns and religious figures will weaponise such counsel and term it as anti North. But without it, the challenges the North is facing will only grow worse.
It is a mistake to think Niger Republic has the fastest growing population in the world. The reason it looks that way is because the UNFPA combine the population growth rate of Southern and Northern Nigeria. But if you take only the population growth rate of Northern Nigeria, if is higher than Niger's.
Some may point to China as an example of a country where population is an advantage. Actually that is a fallacy. China experienced the deaths of 55 million people from famine and poverty during the Great Leap Forward. Please fact check me.
They continued to experience stagnated and episodic economic growth until they introduced the world's most drastic population control policy called the One Child Policy in 1979, limiting couples to one child only throughout their lives.
Because of that policy, their GDP steadily began to grow faster than their population, until they became the world's second largest economy today.
As long as Arewa's population is Growing faster than her regional economy, Northern Nigeria will never be economically and socially stable. And I urge people whose stock in trade is to get outraged on behalf of the North when people from Southern Nigeria speak this truth to please contain their manufactured anger. Truth is bitter but better. Do not reduce yourselves to the nzobu nzobu level of Obidients and start insulting those who tell you the truth.
Please investigate my family and I. My late father and I are well known for our love and dedication to Arewa. Not by mouth. But with time, money and political capital. Northern Nigeria needs to hear this truth. Because if Northern Nigeria is not stable, Nigeria will not be stable. And if Nigeria is not stable, much of West Africa will not be stable.
Sadly for Arewa, they had Buhari. Buhari is a curse to Arewa. Also to Nigeria as a whole..
For eight years Buhari did not build schools for the North and was rather focused on building railways to Niger Republic because of his familial relationship with that country. Look, Niger Republic's GDP is $15 billion. Fact check me. It makes no economic sense to build a $2 billion railway with money borrowed from China to an economy with a $15 billion GDP. It would have made better economic sense to build schools in every village of Northern Nigeria, because educated people produce more economic output and reproduce less children.
The answer is for Arewa to initiate population control strategies and strictly enforce them. No Southerner can initiate this. It will be greeted with suspicion by the North. Only the North can do this. If our population continues to grow faster than our economy, it may get to a stage where war might even break out. These are just economic realities. It does not mean Reno Omokri hates the North. May God judge any Munafiqun who will twist my words to mean that.

THE NORTH;AFTER BLAMING OTHERS LETS PROBE OURSELVES.
1.Most public schools are free,our young ones still don’t want to go to school.
2.Most of us don’t want our spouses to work or use their skills or talents to earn a living or contribute to the family.When we die,we leave them as helpless widows at the mercy of a hostile society.
3.Most young ones don’t want to serve as apprentices in workshops or retail outlets because they don’t have the heart and the patience to serve.
4.Most parents in rural areas hands over their children to a religious teacher in the city and the religious teacher depends on the children to beg or steal in order to feed him and his family.
5.For ethnic,religious and sectional reasons,we protected,defended,praised and refused to hold to account all our kinsmen who led the country at every wasted opportunity for over five decades.
6.The bandits and terrorists that kill and kidnap our people and deny our farmers from going to their farms and denied our children from going to school are not from any country or from the south of the country;they came from our homes and from our families up north.We worshipped with them in the same mosque.
7.We used to live together as one region in peace,brotherhood and love and then we divided and hate ourselves along religious lines.
8.We don’t vote for people who will serve us,we vote for those who will give us spaghetti and grains.
9.We concoct and spread all sorts of religiously inclined conspiracies to deny our children free health immunisation against diseases and we end up hundreds of thousands of blind,lame,crippled and deaf children,who grow up as impaired victims of polio,glaucoma or leprosy,begging in the streets of northern and southern cities.Even the kind of Bill Gates who regularly shows interest in us,we have no kind words for him.
10.Most of our women and Girls don’t have a business capital of 100k but they have an IPhone of N1.5m.They don’t have a capital of 100k but can ‘struggle’ to meet up an wedding ashobi of 500k.
11.We deny most of our girls child their right to go beyond secondary school because of the negative thoughts about the university.
12.We don’t want our female children to wear uniforms.Whenever the recruitment portals for the Army, police,customs,immigration,civil defence are on,we don’t want our female wards to apply.
13.When our children are graduating from universities,especially public universities,most of the parents that attend to celebrate and appreciate their children in such events are parents of the southern students from the south.
14.Most of our industries and factories in Kano,Kaduna and Jos have since closed down when our kinsmen were in power.
15.Our Farmers in rural areas are still farming with hoes for the whole period our kinsmen have been in power.The groundnut and cotton pyramids and fields disappeared long when our kinsmen were at the helm.
16.All the spare parts,building materials and pharmaceutical stores in the north are private businesses owned by people from other regions whom were not in anyway backed,funded or supported by any Government.
17.When our Kinsmen were in power,we attributed our poverty and insecurity to God and to our Sins;When our Kinsmen are out of power,we attribute our sufferings to the King.
18.The FCT is in the north ,Can anyone explain why the people from the region couldn’t dominate the private businesses in the FCT and Suleja and Marraraba? Who should be blamed for this one.
19.God gave us the largest land mass,the largest number of people,the most of the Rivers and the resources and livestock and gave us power for the most part of our history;Which of the favours of our Lord can we deny?
20.The North;Eighty percent of our problem is ourselves and not anyone ‘outside of ourselves’.

The Speaker of the House of Representatives Rt. Hon. Abbas Tajudeen,
@HMusawaFansClub @Samamas26 My fellow sister, me n u are from the north does not mean we should hate or dislike those from other regions of the country. With the response to that prayer goes against what you said in the documentary Asiwaju is coming which I admires so much.
