Retrogression is part and parcel of the Northen Nigeria system 29 Sept. 2015

Retrogression is part and parcel of the northern system, and Boko Haram is it's offspring. May God forbid Nigeria. Always holding others captive and dragging them backward / down ... Enough is Enough ONE NIGERIA is a big JOKE. Is time Southerners most especially old eastern people take their destiny in their hands and handle their future and that of their future generations. The

people in the North should realize that is not a must to live together with others. Because the money used to run Nigeria is not coming from the North hence, should be used as you people deem fit as to convoke a national conference that suits your interest. A bunch of mediocre s and parasites .. You have no resource to share with the region's yet you want to dictate how the country is governed.

What a travesty. .Whenever somebody from the North says anything like for the Interest of Nigeria, he or she is talking about the interest of the North and the protection of the interest of the North... You allowed a constitution made by your military boys to stay given the fact that they were not elected but wants a conference convoked by an elected government with people's mandate to be overlooked. Hypocrisy on the side of this NORTHERNERS is very annoying.

Always a burden on Nigerians from the South.... Is time the government starts publishing what each Northern state contribute to Federal purse and also the amount of revenue generated from the North into a federal purse. Enough of this always dictating tendencies and ready to destroy whenever others disagree as this time around, it will be fire for fire though very much aware that the North hide under government to fight others by using Nigerian government military structure built around the North but it means nothing now because it will be a battle for emancipation and everlasting freedom.

My point is that the North is an enormous burden to the South and responsible for the slow paste in Southern development. High time they declare the AREWA Republic and govern themselves as they consider right. These Hausa Fulani only have the record of taking all other ethnic groups backward. A large ethnic group that contributes nothing both economically and manpower yet consumes more than others.
