I do beleive that other ethnic groups also live in large numbers in the north in spite of the civil war and endemic religious crisis. Nigeria is one country and our only country and we do not have another one. So we have made it a point of duty to live any where irrespective of the challenges.
But for mischievious leaders who are at best myopic and at worst illiterate, the north held the gateway to a greater and powerful Nigeria given the abundant land resources they have. Land is capital and with that abundance of land, most of which is arable, there is no need for Nigeria to be poor
