source: vanguard news Hmmmn…….when it comes to politics in Nigeria, sometimes lack words to say. sometimes I have A LOT to say. I would have said happy new year immediately but I’m indifferent about saying it especially at a time when human beings and I mean 100s of them, were murdered in cold blood recently. The most recent one happened on the 24th of December which we all know to be Christmas Eve. I thought about their families and I wonder, is it a good year for them? Their loved ones were killed brutally and didn’t even live to see the new year. As tough as situations can be, the reality is that we all have to forge ahead. In Nigeria were incessant killings have been going on for the past decade or more, I’m sure some of us have asked ourselves, where is the future of this country going with all these negative news and what is the future of the citizens?
Human life is very precious like treasures therefore must be valued like precious pearls. Sadly in Nigeria, the opposite is the case. From the title of the topic, I asked a valid question, what next? I’m going to offer workable solutions to the best of my ability and you all can give me yours in the comment section. The solution will start by chipping in some historical facts concerning insurgencies which most of the time could be either ethnic and religious conquests. That of Nigeria isn’t any different. The emergence of the Fulani ethnic group in the early 1800s in Hausa land has been a series of catastrophic events up till today which has eventually affected other ethnicities in Nigeria. Earlier in I mentioned something about religious and ethnic conquests which is all the information you need to know. That is what describes the situation best. The religious side is that of the spread of Islam through the jihad war and the ethnic side is to grab lands from different ethnicities due to the fact that they never had any indigenous land in Nigeria.
When the British “left” Nigeria post independence, they handed power over to the “north”, Fulani. You can see I wrote the north in quotes because there are so many other ethnicities in the north who have also suffered the same fate with the Hausas by the invasion of the Fulani people. This is why the “unity” of Nigeria will keep fueling the insurgencies that is causing the death of thousands of innocent lives due to the arrangement between the British government and the Fulani caliphate. This explains why waiting for the government and security agencies are a total waste of time as most of their people are in the corridors of power.
THE WAY FORWARD
In any sane society, when massacres like this occur, the perpetrators are usually brought to book before 24 hours. In Nigeria, nobody has been arrested or prosecuted for the terrorism that occurred both in the north and southern part of Nigeria for over a decade. This evil has gone on for too long to the point that the citizens are now completely desensitized from the news of frequent massacres nationwide. In other countries, the death of just one person will even cause an uprising. In Nigeria, the citizens will rant for hours online, pray, tag political officials and security officials (as if they don’t know these people will certainly ignore the news) and we’ll all go back to sleep………rinse & repeat!!!!
Traveling out of Nigeria to a society that values human lives will make you understand the level of mediocrity and insanity you’ve had to endure for so long. A lot of our people may argue about this as usual but like it or not the only option is self defence. In a country where the government has failed the people several times and they have had to become extremely independent without government fixing up their societies, what stops them from becoming their own police when the police and even army don’t care about the people’s welfare but rather oppress them? Funny enough, many people know this but would rather argue about this than accept the truth and this can be due to factors like fear of being taken down by the powerful cabals if your plans are discovered and they fish you out (remember Mailafia?). Another major factor affecting this is religion. We are not the only religious country in the world but the way we go about it is a problem I must confess. With regards to the incessant attacks on innocent civilians over the years, most of our people resort to prayers and when told to fight they’ll say you are instigating violence but I have just a few questions.
If your relations happened to be among the dead, will you only pray about the situation?
If prayer could solve everything, how come people worshipping in churches get killed by bomb instantly?
Does God love you more than the dead because you are not part of the statistics of those killed?
Do you think you can’t become a statistic tomorrow?
Israelis/Jews who happen to be God’s chosen have been having their back and forth situation with the hamas but what do you think keeps them the sovereign nation they are? Just praying?
As much as, fighting doesn’t remove the sovereignty of God, we have to put in the work. Defend your land!!! Don’t say “it’s not my portion” or “it will never happen to me and my family” because like it or not these jihadists are not smiling and they are gradually encroaching. Those of us that have not japa’d and are still on ground should be mentally and physically prepared. We are on our own and there’s no government or security agencies coming to our aid and we all know this. When the people start talking about self defence, watch the same security agencies that didn’t protect you from terrorists discourage you. Of course, pay them no attention, they mean no good.
My beloved people, self defence is not a crime, it is human right, it is survival instinct. For both humans and animals, self defence is the first thing that happens by default at the point of danger. As a matter of fact, it is normal for living things (human and animals) to protect their generation and maximize their survival thereby making sure to obstruct the plans of anything or anybody threatening their survival on earth. God the creator has created it in our DNA and can be activated by default when there’s danger. This is why anyone or anything that obstructs your right to self defence, should be avoided and completely ignored!!!
