Former presidential aspirant, Adamu Garba, has said the only reason the North is backward, and regarded as a liability, is because it’s real potentials are yet to be fully harnessed.
He said if the North were to live up to its potential, the South would realize that it needed the North more than the North needed it.
Garba who made the statement in a post shared on his Twitter handle on Monday, when further to do a breakdown analysis of the potentials of the North, and how it could succeed without the South should the country end split.
In fact, according to Garba, the South stands to lose should the North breaks away from Nigeria today, adding that no single person is afraid of a breakup of the country.
He disclosed that the hatred directed at the Fulani and all that the North represents can ruin the secessionist groups once the North pulls out of “the union called Nigeria.”
”Looking at everything, it’s not all together a bad thing for the North to secede from Nigeria,” Garba said.
“The North is the only region in Nigeria that practically has everything, yet its people suffer the most, with most hope dashed, gross underproductive young population and betrayal of the elite.
“The North is the single largest supplier of raw materials in all Nigerian industries, from food, the clothes to shelter through cement and other building materials available in the northern rocks.
“The North has gold, silver, diamond, tin, copper, lime, gypsum, coal, magnesium, potassium, etc. and even uranium in abundance all over the area.

While talking about the ranching of cattle which has contributed to the tension in the country recently, Garba said, “The cows that some few people condemn is over 20 million in number in Nigeria, when properly harnessed and utilised. If a quarter of this number can produce a litre of milk a day, it means the North will have 5 million litres of milk per day, each litre is N350, much more than a litre of fuel.
“This notwithstanding the endless value chain of milk processing in different industries. A cow, from its feed to all parts of its body including its dung is a source of value, thus a cow is wealth in all ramifications. All we need is to harness its value.”
