The Hausa-Fulanis have never seen themselves as Nigerians, they only claim to be part of Nigeria because of their clinging to power. If petroleum had been discovered in the Hausaland these people would have fought for the country to be dissolved so that they can be on their own and enjoy the petroleum resources all alone. These people are such a selfish and very deceitful and hypocritical people. The backwardness of Nigeria is largely due to them.

The problem here is true FEDERALISM. If all the states are autonomous and state governors develop their states and there is NOTHING LIKE FAAC allocation, we will see how states develop.

So instead of us fighting for President to develop Ondo or Calabar or Zamfara, each state governor is tasked with getting their states to work. Also, the mineral resources will be owed by the states and they should do what they can do to improve their state with it. RESTRUCTURE THIS COUNTRY!

state policing can never work in a country like nigeria that is lawless, let's not deceive ourselves, it will only make our already lawless governors more powerful, especially as it is right now that we lack rule of law

[@flourishers]

@@psychscope378 boss it will. How effective and lawful are the police force? Are the state governors not using them against their opponents even as they remain federal police? See it from the side of terrorists attacks and kidnappings mostly from a particular ethnic group and religion. Those heading the force are from the same ethnic group and religion..the police hands are tired at the state level because no orders is coming from the top to deal with the problems. Two, if state policing is introduce and one state enjoy relative peace than the others that will boost healthy competition too.

[@chikeziechinedu9742]

These northerners are very wicked and selfish. In real sense, both CBN and FAAN shouldn't have been in the North Originally given that the state House, the Supreme court and the National Assembly are all in the North. In South Africa the different arms of government are in different locations;Pretoria (executive), Cape Town (legislative), and Bloemfontein (judicial). Why can't Nigeria have such arrangements especially given that Nigeria is even much more diversed than South Africa.

That makes sense actually from an efficiency point of view. Inland refineries are more expensive to operate.

Thanks for coming and sharing some of the Northern Leaders perspectives. Good anchor from Arise. One lesson learnt, we hail from different backgrounds and we should respect others views. As for me, we are Africans, Nigerian, we are humans. We should tolerate each other. Thank you for reading this comment. I would love to see other regions perspectives too. Stay safe, peace!

[@Hasmohk]

I am particularly disturbed with so many Brouhaha about the movement of a section of CBN to Lagos and FAAN not Ministry of finance not Ministry of Aviation. My trouble is how this movement will translate to North under-development . The main idea of Capital of Nigeria moving from Lagos to Abuja was not intended to underdeveloped a certain region nor is it meant to develop a region. It was not meant to advantage a particular region over other region. But for administration convenience, for proper and equitable accessibility by Nigerians and on security to move the head administration to centre of Nigeria rather the littoral state. I feel discussing as if the policy of the movement is against Northern region tells there is more to the two units being retained here in the north . Anyway am not sure if the Senate or house of representatives has the legislative power to stop the movement as it is a executive decision..just like Buhari move the headquarters of Nigeria armed forces to Borno to enhance effectiveness in tackling insecurity in the northeast of Nigeria

[@oluwaseyisubair4426]

He sees nothing wrong in the whole military apparatus of Nigeria situated in the North but everything is wrong in anything being in the South.

[@e.u7778]

In a so called country where a particular region is continually spoon-fed at the detriment of the rest, cannot hold together for long. As a young boy, I remember having to score over 250 on JAMB to gain admission into university while a student from the north is expected to score a mere 100 or 150 to gain admission into the same university because they r considered "educationally disadvantaged" region. Rubbish.

They are the ones lowering their standards. 100 can never be equal to 250. Unless they change their standards they can never join the high fliers.

Most Nigerians northern or southern have never taken a flight in their lives. I think its laughable to think they care about the issue of moving some aviation ministry to Lagos. Ppl only care about this to the extent that some politicians have told them to care so they can point at someone and say those ppl trying to take power away from you. The typical way politics is done in Nigeria. Shift blame to someone else so they don't ask you what you have done to make things better. I am sure there are ppl with genuine disagreement to the policy but he didn't make that argument. He kept saying they are taking this and that from the north. The same group that kept quiet when Buhari was running riot over the country. This our naija sef.

The Federal Criminal Agency sit is in Wiesbaden, Federal Railways Headquarters is in Frankfurt, Federal Post is in Bonn, the Supreme Court sits in Karlsruhe, National traffic offence Registry is in Flensburg, the Central Bank is in Frankfurt. Some others spread across Germany and that makes every state feels important and not left behind. Nigeria is just not ready to become a real and prosperious country.

He swept you under the carpet, that you had neither the landmass nor the population to demand for an additional state. You no get ears? That the north is 60% of the country’s population - with what census? The one they have sworn to not let happen? They have brutally fought against every attempt to have a credible head count in this country - yet the quota system sharia lawyer has the effrontery to hop on a tv platform to spew gibberish. Anyway , I hope this cow is not counting the middle-belt as part of his 60%, as they have sounded it loud and clear that they are not part of it.
