Why North is Politically Superior to Southern Nigeria – Fani-Kayode
Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode has shared the reason he believes Northern Nigeria is politically superior to Southern Nigeria.
The former minister in a series of tweets expressed that Southern Nigeria’s weakness and lack of unity more than anything else have given rise to northern supremacy.
Fani-Kayode further stated that it will continue to be so until the south unites, the region will continue to lose to the North in the power configuration of Nigeria.
He wrote:
“The power of Northern Nigeria lies in the fact that, despite their internal differences, the people of that region are united when it comes to achieving their political aspirations in the wider Nigerian state. That is why they have been in control since 1960,” Fani-Kayode said.
“Southerners do not value unity and neither do they recognize the wisdom, virtues, and power that lie in it. That is why they always lose and end up whining about persecution, ill-treatment, ill-fortune, and marginalization.
“It is Southern weakness and lack of foresight more than anything else has given rise to Northern supremacy and hegemony in the Nigerian state.
“It follows that Southern leaders, who spend all their time and days trying to undermine and destroy one another rather than forge a common front, are the greatest architects of the failures and doom of their own people.
“It is not the north that made us second class citizens in our motherland: we alone must take the blame for that because deep down we hate, despise, and resent one another.
“Until the south is united and until Southern leaders stand together as one the south will continue to lose to the North in the power configuration in Nigeria. This is the bitter truth.
“Until we stop seeing an Igbo, Yoruba, Ijaw, or Urihibo man and instead begin to see a Southern man in his place, we are not going anywhere and neither can we achieve anything.
“Southern unity is a precondition or condition precedent to Southern emancipation. Without it we shall all be slaves for the next 100 years.”
This is pure truth, the south is more divided than anything, they hate each other and can never agree on anything
This is quite true. The northerners are soo United that you can break into them unlike the southerners that are so divided
In the south, everyone wants to be the king and will do everything possible to pull down his fellow brother man
They even go up to the extent of betraying one another so as to get personal fame
The northerners always rally around one person and support the person to succeed
You are not exclude in allegation that made, until we see ourselves as one there will be no progress and we will continue to be a slave in our motherland not only fatherland.
Have we not started again? Instead of supporting or unite to present a presidential candidate from the south and forget about our political differences irrespective of our party affliation.
Are you just waking up from your slumber? We need to right the wrong that have started since our great forefathers, until we do so, there will be no changes in the land.
You ask me…who ago ask?
Unity of Southerners don’t matter to them and if care is not taking we will remain like that forever until we repent our attitude and change for better.
Bitter truth….. All those northerners always favour one another in other to achieve common goal unlike us…..
