The truth is that an average father from southern Nigeria lied to his children about the level of education of Northern Nigeria.
We were told "all northerners are not educated, all they know is bitter Kola and kolanuts. They don't brush their teeth that's why they have brown
teeth.

The oil money in the south is what they are using to develop Northern roads while the south is left unattended to."

Let me shock you my fellow southerners in Nigeria.

The fact that you can read and write in English language and your northern counterpart can read and
write in Arabic language doesn't make them less educated or enlightened.

As at 1961, The Sardauna of Sokoto has published his autobiography.. "MY LIFE".

Yes.. 1961.. He could read and write in English and Arabic.

The north practised local government systems before the British
ever came.. They had their own systems... As well as the South West and South East...
But from my little research, the North was well organized in the feudal system they operated as compared to the South.
@gimbakakanda, @elrufai's son and the #Arewatwitter are now throwing bants over oyel money. You are angry and sad...

Hello sir..., smile because your dad lied to you about the North and the earlier we realized that the better for us. (Another day for the formation of Action
Group led by Awolowo who began the tribalism issue)

The oil and gas produce FX for the nation, but have you asked yourself how come over 60% of GDP is not coming from oil related business?
The @NDDCOfficialNGR has proved to be an absolute failure and yet we blame the north. How?
Over $40BN in less than 20 years.. Nothing to show for it..and we blame others.... Please let's blame our sons and daughters who we trusted and they embezzled all the money.
Well, we might be individually rich in Nigeria but collectively we are POOR.
That we have oil and gas doesn't make us rich or say we produce 2.5MBPD of oil and 2MMSCFPD of gas doesn't in any sense make us rich.
Another lie is that they tell us that the North employs their brother who are not as educated as a southerner in civil and public service.

Well, let me burst your bubbles....

An average southerner wants to work for multinational and earn tens of thousand of USD per month.
But a average Northerner wants to serve in his father's land where he can be close to his family.
You hardly see Hausa or Fulani community in Europe or any of the American continent.. But all most all countries outside Africa have communities who celebrate New yam festival, who
have XYZ PARAPOs....

Now, in 20, 25, 30 yrs time when it's time for the top management staff of top agencies, ministries, UN appointment etc are to be appointed, the highest ranking public and civil servants are from the North...
Mind you the NE, NW &NC has more states than the
SW, SS and SE.

In the military, civil service, public service the top officers by experience, training, years of service comes from a certain part of the Countries.. Making it tough and rough for the Presidents at times to satisfy the federal character act
While the northerners are paying their dues, rising in files and rank in the space of 20 yrs, getting relatively low salaries while their counterpart is in a multinational firm forming " Rich " in dollars.

The President now makes appointments based on track record. We protest!
In fact, when you retire the first 100 in some agencies, the next 100 would have a few non Northerners among them.. Because some of the southern guys after 10 yrs cross to the private sector leveraging on their experience in the public service to get better pay.
I was opportune to study in a school in Lagos, where Usman Suleiman from Gombe was my seat mate to the right and Ojiakwu Favour from Anambra to the left and Ayodele Emmanuel from Oyo in the centre.. We love each other like brothers and do things in common....
Until our parents started telling us stories that informed us wrongly about other tribes and some of us were not fortunate to have a touch of history later in life to know we were lied to.

But in all situations i sighted above, there are few exceptions.
In conclusion, the North are educated, the President is not always tribal in his appointment, most times the first 10 available options are not southerners, our parents lied to us about our brothers from north.
Good day
