What a nice essay with a quite convincing argument. Kudos!

However

As beautiful and scientifically structured as your argument might look, as convincing as it is, regardless the empathy it might have generated in this forum, it contains several factual errors like the number of tribes and ethnic groups and where they settle;  testable but unprovable evidences like the population of Northerners that can speak (good) English wether they are generally educated or not or even the size of civilized Northern population. A number of incontestable truth can be identified in your work like you speaking Hausa even as a mother dialect, and probably dressing and living like they do, probably living in a predominantly Hausa community and yet not being an Hausa or a Muslim rather a (certified, convinced) Christian. These core facts about your identity which many Nigerians are sure ignorant of and the way you articulated them in the essay, are capable of mitigating salient punctuated facts about Nigeria's diversity and the present true state of the different regions and ethnics. Your analysis is a subjective socio-ideological defence that is not based on scientific research or public opinion, nor on any officially coded data, rather on personal experiences and peer group interactions.

As a result, the generalization of this personal opinion is scientifically not acceptable even though it points at some elemental truth. Meanwhile, I like the write up

Super article and well written. I have been very ignorant and ill-informed about the Northern issues. Thank you my dear friend for such an educational article. I would advise you and your kind to impose your tribes more to avoid this vast ignorance. Remember that children will grow with the knowledge Adults and the mass media impact on them.
Nevertheless, I wouldn't be rude to anyone for not having good command of the language (English). Having good command of the language does not depict wisdom, knowledge or good intelligence. You can see that in some of us in the South who can be as idiotic as a sweeping broom, speak better English than Prince Charles (the Prince of Wales) but yet languish in quagmire of ignorance.

You for example, this is quite evident in your speech. Thank you for your outing Grin
It would be wrong to take issues on a social network of this nature very personal, keeping the goal in mind which is to:
1. Entertain             Grin
2. Inform                Lips Sealed
3. Educate               Huh?              
4. Communicate       Smiley
5. Social interact      Kiss

How funny it is when people deviate from a major topic of discussion abruptly, owing to lingering personal deficits Cheesy Having ability of any language is a very welcomed advantage. Languages are special keys to knowledge. I am of the opinion that people who chose to have wide audience, should be encouraged to learn the rules and have pride in using English, which is the most accepted way of communicating globally.

However, ability to use distinctive grammar as advanced form of cutting down lots of craps into short but comprehensive sentences making up a story. This is known as "Summary"
We all agree that no one can claim monopoly of wisdom, therefore admitting the imperfection of man, gives our mistakes and shortcomings a perfect alibi.

The author in his extensive oratorio, may have won some sympathy, which does not outrule the cantankerous double standard of the northern provincial polity. I'm coming to this later.

THE PROBLEM WITH ALL THESE SOUTHERN MOTHERfcukERS IS DAT MOST OF THEM ARE HALF BAKED OLUWOLE SCHOOL CERT. GRADUATES. ALWAYS CLAIM TO BE "EDUCATED" BUT THEY ARE ALL NARROW MINDED AND BLINDED BY HATRED AGAINST THE NORTH. IF YOU WANT TO HATE SOMETHING FOR A REASON, THE LEAST YOU COULD DO IS ATLEAST "LEARN" EVERYTHING ABOUT IT. GO BACK TO SCHOOL A*#SS!
