During my time living in Turkey, I had the chance to meet Nigerians from various regions. I observed that those from the northern part of Nigeria stood out from the typical portrayals we often see on TV. They had a calm, friendly demeanor, were easygoing, and carried themselves with a deep sense of respect. Their outlook on life seemed strongly influenced by their cultural values.

The irony is despite having so many billionaires - it is the poorest region in Nigeria and has the highest proportion of uneducated people and children that are not attending school (in the country if not in the world).

They are not poor!!! Those poor people they show you for political emotional reasons are migrants from Southern Niger and Chad!!! They cross over to Nigeria for better life and education. Northern Nigeria is not poor!! They get the Lion's share of Nigerian oil from the south, yet mine their own gold, lead, etc.

[@oceejekwam6829]

@@angelicakweku5293 Niger Republic and Chad's populations combined don't come up to half the population of Northern Nigeria. The majority of the poor masses are native to Northern Nigeria. Even if we assumed that every youth in those countries ran to the "el Dorado" of Northern Nigeria that would not account for the fact that the masses in that portion of the country are amongst the poorest in the world. No doubt there is a miniscule ultra-rich class that is being celebrated and lauded but they are dwarfed by the sheer number of people living in "multi-dimensional" poverty. The region has even been dubbed the "poverty capital of the world". This isn't to say there isn't wealth there, they just have to figure out how to exploit their resources and distribute it in a more organised and equitable way.

Kano is truly a hidden gem with so many remarkable achievements: Highest population in Nigeria and Africa (over 9 million). One of the richest cities and a major center of commerce in Africa. Has the 2nd largest movie industry in Africa (Kanywood). Home to some of the richest men in Africa, and the only city that produced 2 of the top ten richest men on the continent. A leading hub for textile production, with Kano's dye pits being one of the oldest and most vibrant in Africa. Host to Kurmi Market, one of the oldest and largest markets in West Africa, known for its vibrant trade in textiles, spices, leather goods, and crafts. A city of rich cultural heritage, boasting historical landmarks like the ancient city walls, the Gidan Makama Museum, and the Great Mosque of Kano. A leading center for Islamic scholarship in Africa, with many prominent Islamic scholars and institutions. Yet, despite these impressive credentials, Kano remains relatively unknown to the world-a paradox that continues to surprise me. Thanks to creators like you, hidden gems like Kano won't stay hidden forever!

Yes, Kannywood is often considered the second-largest movie industry in Africa, after Nollywood. If you have otherwise, say it

So glad that you mentioned nepotism. That's the number one reason

I interacted with many Nigerians in Malaysia back in my varsity years. I noticed that Nigerians from the north and south are different. Guys from the north were cool, calm, easygoing, friendly, respectful, cultured, etc.

[@janerama-nq6rw]

Yeah right, southerners are more educated, exposed, cool, party going, the difference is the religion, north is Muslim, south is Christian

[@zabimam8974]

Not all South is Christian, South is westernized, even among the Muslim dominated South West States

[@shehuarc2964]

@@janerama-nq6rw That propaganda has long gone, the Northerners were educated before Western colonization, except if you have different definition of Education, the Northerners were literate before English was imposed on us.

Do you know much of federal government money has been poured into the hands of many of them in Northern states, especially, Kano and Kaduna? How much of the Nigerian federal government money has been given to them free of charge over the years? If you gave the same kind of money to young Southern entrepreneurs, you'll have closer to 50% of the population becoming millionaires, billionaires, and trillionaires.

[@Francis-qf2hr]

we know them! federal government pikkin them

[@kareemsvlog5590]

Haters gonna hate 😅 Go read some history….Kano has been this rich even before colonialism…go read about sub Saharan trade in Africa and see how Hausa people dominated more than any tribe in Nigeria

[@pearbear319]

The religious (mind control) fervor of the impoverished northern Nigeria masses and their manipulators keep Nigeria from fully developing and truly becoming the "Giant" of Africa.

Hmmmm can you give some examples of that free money we get??? I am from kano state and I or any of my family members recieved money from government. We're into business long before federal government of Nigeria

[@roycerhett178]

Great video. If those businessmen in Kano learned advanced science and technology, then Kano would be a highly developed and extremely wealthy place.

This is surprising - I was under the impression that the Igbo tribe was the most well off in Nigeria. Is that not true?

[@onumenanelka1776]

i love what you said in 3:20 "NEPOTISM"....especially in government, they don't care your qualification as long as you are "NA MU NAMU"....it has greatly worked for them...other tribes should learn from them. and they are not jealous of others success.

[@keepitsimple313]

Worked for them in keeping them in power forever but working against the rest of the suffering masses of Nigerians. Nepotism and tribal bigotry when it comes to government employment and appointments means you don't get to appoint people who are the most qualified for the positions or jobs. Which leads to incompetent, clueless, power-drunk immature people in these positions destroying the economy of the country and causing chaos, suffering and pain on the poor masses in the long-term.

[@stephenhumphrey8885]

They use that to bribe the poor masses from the north who are 90% of the population. They use this nepotism to bribe them into supporting them so they give them such opportunities which amounts to nothing because it doesn't go round to more than 2% of the population. WHile the elites cash out in billions. Keeping 200 million other Nigerians in poverty.

I admire that you pointed out nepotism as a helping factor in creating Northern "billionaires." However, it is certainly not a determining factor, and despite what some like to believe, Entrepreneurship is not a trait exclusive to any region in Nigeria. Well done, and keep up the good work!
