I have always thought of the North as a mass of waste land. Even with all the arid usable land these people are less ambitious and less greedy than the Southern and Western Nigerians. I am not trying to insult anyone. I am just saying that where there is more greed there is more ambition, where there is more ambition there is more achievement, and where there is more achievement there is got to be more education. And of course, discontent and up rise against the existing unproductive government.

Because of the above issues, the Northerners are less incline to revolt against their governors or State legislators for not providing their villages and towns with electricity or basic modern necessities to alleviate their lives even for a little bit. I believe this part of Nigeria will continue to remain so until they learn from their Southern and Western Nigerian brothers to stand up with their lives on the line for the good of their communities.

I have yet to read any Northern writer taking their State governor or legislator to task for not developing their communities the way the Westerners and Southerners do.

Your write-up flare up in me the anger I feel for the underdeveloped Northern Nigeria because of the inept and unproductive leadership that does not care for their community.
