hehehhe......Reno Omokri shared his thoughts on his Facebook page. Read what he read below:
Ango Abdullahi is a liar from the pit of hell for saying that the Igbo
should quit the North and that Northern money was used to develop
Southern Nigeria. This is a direct quote from Ango, "I mean none of the
Western and Eastern regions had the money to effectively run the affairs
of its region until they get financial support from the Northern
region." How can a nation progress with dishonest and tribalistic elders
as Ango? The British author and historian, Colin Newbury has detailed
in his 2004 book, Accounting for Power in Northern Nigeria, that for
years before the amalgamation, Britain had been subsidizing Northern
Nigeria because of the deficit in her budget. Northern Nigeria could not
sustain herself financially talk less of supporting the South. If you
are from the North this is a fact, not an insult. Do not blame me. Blame
history. In 1913, Lord Harcourt agreed to a proposal from Lord Lugard
to amalgamate Southern Nigeria and Northern Nigeria so that, according
to Newbury "custom revenues from the south paying for the projects in
the north". Right now, we should be building unity in Nigeria, however,
we must not distort history to do that. Southern funds were used to
develop the North. This is a historical fact. As a matter of fact, here
is a direct quote from Lord Harcourt, the then Secretary of the Colonies
who in 1913 said "we have released Northern Nigeria from the leading
strings of the economy. The promising youth ...is about to effect an
alliance with a Southern lady of means (referring to Southern Nigeria).
Time Magazine in March 1963 wrote of Nigeria thus "the country numbered
some 250 tribes and languages, three principal religions (Moslem.
Christian, animist), and three big, traditionally hostile regions: the
feudal, Moslem North, which claims half the entire population of
Nigeria; the East, dominated by the astute, industrious Ibo tribes; and
the West, richest and most advanced of all three, whose Yoruba tribesmen
are Nigeria's most sophisticated citizens
Liar Ango Abdullahi should note the words "richest of the three".
Northern intellectuals like Farooq Kperogi should please research and
verify if what I have written is fact and if it is they should please
call Ango Abdullahi to order.
