The question is how is this impacting on the life of Nigerians?The jobs are
not there so how do say the economy is doing well when we don't even know
the number of Nigerians out of jobs.There are no roads, power and no water
running.As the former World Bank chief will you tell a country the economy
is doing well when the majority of the young population is out of job,those
of us in private sector spend so much on energy to run our business yet we
pay our tax to the Govt,not accounted for and no infrastructure to show for
the tax and the oil revenue the Govt gets at the end of the month
The Ministry's position ix exposedly overoptimistic.I know
that 80 percent are consuming their lifes under the soil of utter
poverty,If anyone wish to beat his chest stating
strong state with weak citizens well it is another issue

Former United States president Bill Clinton yesterday came hard on the federal government, saying it is regrettable that the country has not managed resources realised from oil money effectively.
Former U.S. President Bill Clinton said Tuesday Nigeria's challenge of terrorism in the north was being fuelled by extreme poverty that increases by the day, an evaluation he once offered during a previous visit to Nigeria. It is also an evaluation Nigeria's President Goodluck Jonathan hates to hear.
Is it not true that the leadership of Nigeria since independence mostly
came from the Muslim North. Not only that, most of the oil money was going
to the north. There were also special consideration given to the North when
it came to education, desertification and a host of other issues to help
them "catch up". The money was not managed by non-Muslims but by their
leaders. If properly used, the North would have been far ahead of the rest
of the country. Who therefore is responsible for northern poverty? The
south? Christians? or non-Muslims?
.
The reason for northern poverty is very clear. Their leaders stole what was
meant for the masses for themselves because they rightly believe that the
masses were better off with their Islamic culture and Islamic education.
Their main preoccupation was never how to better the lot of the masses. It
was rather how to to to Mecca for Pilgrimage, marry more underaged wives
and impose Islam on the whole of Nigeria.
.
After the imposition of strict Sharia law in the 12 northern states, what
happened? They drove non-Muslims and their businesses out, making the area
unattractive (and even dangerous) to investments. When there is no business
and no investments, what else do you expect than poverty?. We all can see
that since the imposition of Yerima's sharia, the place has gotten poorer
and poorer every day.
.
Northern leaders deprived the north. No one else should be blamed. What we
definitely resist is their attempt to deprive the rest of Nigeria through
the imposition of the religion and culture responsible for this deprivation
!!!
.
.
For their small size they want to continue to dominate Nigeria.
.
They created states the size of local governments in the south and for that
get huge allocations.
.
They get special allocation for education, desertification, pilgrimage to
Mecca etc
.
They children don't pay school fees, instead they are paid to go to school.
In the south, parents starve to pay school fees.
.
They contribute nothing positive to Nigeria yet most of the revenue is
spent appeasing them.
.
They occupy key positions at all government establishments and whine
terribly if any of the positions goes to another.
.
They are never grateful for all these benefits and services they enjoy from
another man's sweat and another man's resources
.
Instead they agitate and agitate and agitate. Instead they threaten and
threaten and threaten. Instead they terrorize and terrorize and terrorize.
.
The development in the south is by dingt of hard work. During the
leadership of Northern Muslims there was a lot of mismanagement and
confussion. Babangida, a Northern Muslim ruler of Nigeria for nearly a
decade institutionalized corruption as part of Nigerian culture. Northern
leaders were placed in key positions at Federal level. From thee they
looted as much as they could.
.
Let them have their Islamic Taliban republic and begin to work for and pay
for those allocations, services and positions that are presently paid for
by money from other parts of Nigeria.
.
Let them have their Islamic Taliban republic and with it the freedom to
create as many states as they want. They can even give their tiny villages
the status of states. Who cares.
.
Let them have their Islamic Taliban republic and with it the freedom to
create as many military generals or naval admirals as they want -
regardless of the fact that they live in desert
.
Let them have their Islamic Taliban republic where they can practice their
blood thirsty religion.
.
Let them have their Islamic Taliban republic where they will pay the price
for their delinquency
.
Let them have their Islamic Taliban republic where we can contain them as
Israel contains the blood thirst Arab Mohammedans
