Looks like you fell from Mars otherwise how could you not see the need for Nigeria to restructure. How could you not see the invasion of Southern Nigeria by strangers from the Sahel enabled by their Fulani cousins in power. Don’t you see the impunity with which Fulanis berate Southern Nigerians and ask them to accept this invasion by herdsmen. The concentration of all arms of security under the control of the Fulanis and the gradual drift towards a totalitarian state are core issues that should engage any discernible person.

Do your folks in the village still go to their farms? Has subsistence farming in the South and Middle belt not been impacted negatively by this invasion of farmlands by Fulani herdsmen. And what do you make of President Buhari’s dead silence on the issue. I decided to draw your attention to these issues since it appears you are not a Nigerian and not abreast of the political situation in the country.

Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday Igboho have put their lives at risk to liberate their respective people from this stranglehold imposed by the Fulani Govt in Abuja. It is painful therefore to use those uncharitable words to characterize their agitation. Harriet Tubman the great slave Liberator said she could have liberated more slaves only if they (slaves) knew they were slaves.

You don’t need to have somebody read or explain to you. Go and read about it. You don’t need read about it. It is staring you in the face in every day living in Nigeria.

I tire for you guys that don’t get these things . Is your likes that elected Buhari and still support him because he has build railway to Niger and refinery too there

You spoke well but rubbished it when you called Kanu illiterate or vulgar names. Do you know he has spoken some major truth of why he has followers, which the like of you as an intelligent don’t see and tou you make mess of that restructuring that will correct these imbalances or injustices.

Bro I tire for your own intelligence and intellectualism .

It is that bad system that is flawed that gave rise to likes of Buhari. If we have strong system and instituions Buhari will be tamed.

When your foundation and structure are flawed things like those negative indices of no food bad education, no job won’t be provided.

On Food, farmers are getting killed. You saw how like 83 farmers were killed by herdsmen till today no arrest but someone pointing out the flaws and I justices was arrested. How won’t there be no food?

Which state haven’t I been to? Which didn’t I know? I saw what’s called Almajiri first in 1997 in Kaura Namoda Zamfara State. A state which sits on gold. I saw Almajiri in Kano etc.

Can you prove me wrong that 90% of the governors, NASS members, traditional rulers etc. in the north are fulani criminals from Guinea? Can you prove me wrong that fulani criminals from Guinea used 1804 fulani caliphate with its emirates to dominate northern natives politically, used northern natives to dominate southern natives politically and frustrated economic developments of this territory natives to make this territory natives poor and keep them under fulani rulership?

It is end of the road for defeated fulani criminals from Guinea, the way defeated British bandits came to an end in 1960.

Defeated fulani criminals must find their way back to Guinea- dead or alive in this 2021 the way defeated British bandits find their way back to Britain in 1960. Only the Sword decides.

“Then there is the call for restructuring — whatever that means. Try and have a intelligent debate with the evangelists of break-up or restructure, and they wouldn’t be able to explain to you how these ‘orphan solutions’ would solved the real problems (33% unemployment, poverty, disease, insecurity, corruption, one of the worst education system in the world) which Nigeria faces. All you would hear is silly emotional and tribal arguments…”

Well said.

Balderdash! The problem with many of you is that you know very little about the Nigeria outside your village. Next time, you take holiday, I suggest that you travel across the country educate yourself about Nigeria and meet some of the 250+ ethnic groups besides your own, them you would stop writing claptrap.

The only answer is establishing interim governments of the six sovereign states now with military, police etc. to defend territorial borders of the six sovereign states, fix the lands and economies or remain under bondage of defeated fulani caliphate called Nigeria and suffer.

Natives of the six geopolitical zones must establish interim governments of their sovereign states now with military, police etc. to defend territorial borders of their sovereign states, fix their lands and economies or remain under bondage of defeated fulani caliphate called Nigeria and suffer.

Any geopolitical zone which fail to establish interim government of their sovereign state now with military, police etc. to defend territorial borders of their sovereign state, fix their lands and economies, won’t survive this 2021. Only the Sword decides.

“…People are genuinely aggrieved and upset…”

About what exactly? Fulani herdsmen? Blackmail of Nigerian voters by one or two ethnic groups into allowing their tribesperson to be crowned president of Nigeria?

“…Nigeria is at a breaking point…”

Yawn! Reuben Abati has been flogging this line since his days on nigeriavillagesquare.

Also if you follow the CIA (an organisation which couldn’t predict the break-up of the USSR despite the billions of dollars it was spending on spying the USSR) and its predictions, the balkanisation of Nigeria should have come to pass 20 years ago. Not that its hopelessly failed predictions has embarrassed it or stopped it from further predictions about Nigeria.

“…do a trend analysis of Nigerian politics over the years. When people need something, they will make noise, agitate, threaten to pull down the roof but when you speak to them in the language they understand, they will calm down and Nigeria will move on”

This seems to be the pattern in Nigeria.

At such difficult climate for businesses globally, Nigerian (online) businesses are forced to pay yet more taxes; businesses’ free means of communication (twitter) has been taken away from them leading to rise in business cost and loss of revenue. In any other country, the business associations (or union) will be up in arms, yet Nigerians business leaders remain silent.

To paraphrase whatsit: “It should be the economy, stΰpίd”. The economy is at breaking point with 33% unemployment. Where are the mass protests; where are the unions?

It is often economic privation that leads people to start revolution. In any country with such high level of unemployment, poverty, insecurity, and diseases, there would long, have been revolution, but not in nonchalant and very tribalised Nigeria. Instead Nigerians chose to follow two losers, scumbags, illiterates (nnamdi kanu and sunday ighoho) as their messiahs.

Analysis would show that most Nigerians are confused, and don’t know exactly what they want.
It would seem that breaking up the country is far more important to them than putting food on the table.

Then there is the call for restructuring — whatever that means. Try and have an intelligent debate with the evangelists of break-up or restructure, and they wouldn’t be able to explain to you how these ‘orphan solutions’ would solved the real problems (33% unemployment, poverty, disease, insecurity, corruption, one of the worst education system in the world) which Nigeria faces.

At the moment, it could not be ascertained for certainty what motivation made Chidimma kill his longtime partner, Ataga, for one to properly situate the homicide in the context of Ambrose Bierce’s categorization. All we know about the homicide has been in the realm of rumours, conjectures and speculations not until proper investigation is done. The trending motive behind the crime has all the attributes of pubs and relaxation spots jests. And nonetheless this sarcasm or is it plain trivia by Reuben Abati which is nothing but a calculated attempt to stigmatize and profile a certain ethnic group as if crime can be ethnicized or nomenclatured.

Chidimma was presented by Reuben Abati as all that is bad with her gender, especially, of that age group.
While, Ataga, the randy victim as an innocent dove felled by a greedy drug tainted girl of questionable background. Demonizing the name Chidimma just because the bearer of the name was involved in a crime is puerile and basely. Don’t get
get me wrong! Nobody owns life. Anyone who can pick a knife or a gun owns death, and the law should take its course. But generalizing an unfortunate situation and whipping up ethnic sentiments no matter how veiled is pure mischief and should be condemned.

Rather than wanton characterizations, we should do the Chidimmas of this world a whole lot of good by critically interrogating the remote and immediate factors that drove a girl of 21 to severally stab her longstanding partner, a man of 50, until he died? Did the society owe Chidimma a debt which she in the words of Ambrose Bierce excusably or justifiably chose to extract by gruesomely murdering Ataga? Or were there more to this crime than can be ever imagined?

People say, a man of 50 and a girl of 21 ‘doing it’ is pure consensual but the fact of the girl being under immense pressure to do the bidding of the man old enough to be her dad based on her disadvantaged circumstances is glossed over. Chidimma will definitely do the time having committed the crime, no doubt, but we owe it as a duty to save other Chidimmas and Atagas out there. This we should do through deep introspection and soul searching. Not through exoneration, stigmatization and profiling.
