1. CLOWNS https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤡" title="Clown face" aria-label="Emoji: Clown face"> !!! Time you realise you know nothing about northern Nigeria. Get to know them or SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!
2. They are one of the most resilient people I have ever come across. They are easily content with whatever they have. Sometime when I hear “ haka Allah ya so”, I feel like going crazy with frustration, but I soon realised the wisdom of those words
3. You will hardly see northern celebrities go on Instagram bragging about their mansions, cars or showing bundles of crisp naira. Humility is drummed into your head from an early age. As a Muslim it is also drilled into your head that if you give
4. With your right hand, your left hand should not know. So they are mostly discreet about doing good. They are also very generous people. Hence when you meet northerners, one of the first shock you will get is how generous they are.
http://5.You"> http://5.You  don’t need to look beyond people that came from other parts of Nigeria and made north their homes.They go about their business without any hindrance from anyone.Yes we do get crisis every now and that is unfortunate because it is beyond what the eye can c
6.They are conservative, but they generally have an attitude of “live and let’s live”. They have little misconception and distrusts about other tribes but not a visceral hatred towards them. Most northerners experience a shock when they first encounter the hatred directed at them
7. because no one taught them to hate anyone, they just don’t really care enough to develop hatred towards others. If you have money well, so be it https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷‍♀️" title="Woman shrugging" aria-label="Emoji: Woman shrugging">, if you are poor so be ithttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷‍♀️" title="Woman shrugging" aria-label="Emoji: Woman shrugging">. Life goes on. That is probably why it can be hard to motivate an uprising against tyranny
8. because there is blurred line between acceptance and complacency.
9. If we are all being honest you the hidden bigots have been to university in the north and have studied together in the same class and know that all the bullshit about them being stupid is unfounded but agenda must agend so https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷‍♀️" title="Woman shrugging" aria-label="Emoji: Woman shrugging">
10. The bigots have been so brainwashed into believing the North is the clog in the wheels of Nigerian development but you all forget that we all (every tribe ), has a share at the looting table.
11. Your own elites deflect from their complacency and point you to the northerners, but do you know the surprising thing about the northerners ? They accept responsibility they don’t blame you for their problems, they may not have a coherent plan about how to fight it yet
12. I have travelled a fair bit around Nigeria and outside Nigeria. I have seen poverty, the like of which I have never seen in the north. I have met stark illiterates and they were not from northern Nigeria. I have seen under development in terms of bad roads
13. Bad health care Centers, schools with roofs caving in, and they were not in northern Nigeria. There might be almajiri problem in northern Nigeria, but we go to other parts of Nigeria and there are little kids running after danfo hawking pure water and bread
14. For those who will be quick to say they are hustling, I raise you a “ no the street is no place for a kid”. Our problems are all the same, it is more amplified in the north because of the huge population.
15. The one thing that does my head in all the time is, if the northerners are so stupid as you claim all the time how is it that they are able to con you the ‘smart one’ for so long???
