The south is responsible for making over 90 percent of the GDP so the south being richer than the north is normal. I think the real problem is sharia law. Sharia law is what is holding the north back, because business is difficult under sharia and nobody wants to go to a state under sharia. And another problem is the fact that in the north education is not seen as important and english is seen as a foreign language, the northerners see the coran education as more important than science. And with their little knowledge of English they can not communicate with the south. Moreover northerners despise the southerners, therefore northerners hardly move south and hardly benefit from the business going on in southern Nigeria. The government is not responsible for the business development in the south, the southerners are the only people responsible for their development. Apart from that southerners travel a lot and are represented in the whole world, they especially get educated in EU and America and do business there and they send a lot of money home. Is it this money you are suggesting the government to give to the north-east ? Do you think that is fair ? You really talk like an idiot, they should have let you rot in jail !
Why on earth some fools thinks country can only survive when they have oil. pls stop this oil nonsense or better still carry your oil go and see if we are not going to be better.
