Insecurity: Muslims are not concerned because they are not victims.

So the good for nothing President and his cabals should shot up for life.



Most Muslims are denying the killings, that No genocide is going on in Nigeria, they are quick attack the international community,
Muslims are stylishly defending the terrorist because both have same agenda.

Alot of the question you've asked around insecurity, poverty, lack of education e.t.c in the north all channels to what I call a patient movement. The history on the tactics of the islamization of a country at its early stage is patience, perseverance, sacrifice of personal life for common goal.
that to them is a sacrifice to achieve their goals. This people dont see what you call sufferings from elite as you see it, they see it as what the elite sell them to give them power of dominance in the nearest future as "Islamization agenda of the nation as then can there enjoy common benefits regards basic amenities of life" now the major problem most countries which Islam is at its early stage movement, what we are seeing is tip of iceberg " ask turkey about their late stage of this movement"
If money for food was the actual thing alimanjeris are begging for trust they wont be much on the road they use your own money to funds terrorists and been thought is their own way gaining the blessings, lots of truth about those guys we need to learn, while as a serving copper in kano as at 2016 I was threatened after a young boy asked me for money and I asked why he wanted he said he is hungry I said let me go and buy you food he said no that he want the money when I said I'm not giving him he threatened bombing me and laughed but it's not funny.
It is deeper than they tell even themself the truth. Is a story they were told and they accepted it with good fate. We just have to be I'd good knowledge, I know where Dangote prefare to give those thousands of beegers food morning,noon and night without training them in skills, my people they know what they are doing
Built2last:
Northern Nigeria is a tragic paradox. A walking contradiction, I mean.

For over 40 years, the North has ruled Nigeria and controlled every aspect of her national life. The current President of Nigeria is from the North and virtually every security agencies in Nigeria including the paramilitary ones are in the hands of Northerners. Yet, almost half of the North is firmly in the hands of terrorists, bandits and other criminal elements operating under different names. Both our Army Chief, Defence minister and even the Commander-In-Chief now need to be escorted by almost the entire Nigerian armed forces before they visit their home towns all in the North. As I type, some of the bodies of dozenS of people butchered by bandits Friday evening in President Buhari's own home state of Katsina are yet to be interred.

All the revenue generating agencies in the country from the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) etc are manned by Northerners. The richest man in Africa is from the North. Yet, according to a recent report released by World Bank, 87% of Nigerians living in poverty are in the North.

Beyond poverty and insecurity, the North boasts of having the highest number of out-of-school children estimated at 12 million by a UN report. The worst case of infant and maternal mortality in Nigeria is in the North. The worst case of illiteracy and drug abuse is in the North. It is also in the North that the highest number of unemployed and unemployable youths are found.

This raises the question: What exactly has the Northern elites done for the North with all the long years they've controlled political power in the country? Of what use is power if you cannot use it to change the fortune of your people?

In the midst of all these internal contradictions, why do Northern youths still seem to worship their political elites as some god instead of seeing and treating them as the real authors of their misfortune? Why do Northern youths only care about helping their elites acquire political power without deploying that same energy towards making sure they use that power in a way it will benefit the average Northerner?

Funny enough, despite the consensus on the nothingness that is the Buhari regime and the entire North becoming a hotbed of terrorism and banditry under a Northern Commander-In-Chief, if elections were to be held today between President Buhari who has failed beyond every doubt and a Southern candidate with excellent record and a credible chance of transforming Nigeria, chances are the average Northern youth will vote Buhari even if doing so will conclusively put the country on the way to golgotha. He will, because all that matters to him is having a fellow Northern Muslim at the helm of affairs. Mind you, if the North were to be a separate Nation, Northerners would never elect someone of Buhari's intellect and competence to head even a hamlet because they know he has nothing to offer. The only reason they support Buhari is because they care more about dominating others than they do about performance.

It is a cultural thing. It has a name: Feudalism.

And this is exactly why the North and the South can never coexist happily because the two regions have a world view and value system that contrasts sharply with each other. One wants to explore the world and her full potentials while the other simply wants to dominate everyone and force others to go back to the dark ages with her.

I understand that we are in a time when truth sounds like hate to those who hate it but it must be stated in an unmistakable term that the Northern part of Nigeria is a huge liability to the rest of the country. If the region fails to take immediate steps to address her issues, the North risks collapsing under the weight of her internal contradictions. And when it happens, it will drag the rest of the country along as we are already witnessing.

Southern leaders must start making preparations for the day-after-tomorrow because if a man cannot stop a bad rain from falling, wisdom demands he should at least take measures to protect himself from being beaten by the rain.

Was Jonathan a northener ? Was he not a president when Boko Haram occupied many parts of the country ? Would he have let the northerners unlawfully take arms to defend themselves ? Do u know why America would vote Trump once again ? Despite his failure to finish a group name Taliban he recently want to make peace with them ? If America failed to finish a simple group of Taliban in Afghanistan i see no reason of blaming buhari behind failure to finish Boko Haram. And no southerner can finish them in a swift because Boko Haram fights the same way Taliban does they hide in a vast jungle where they only appear suddenly to attack.

Don't be delusional by bringing American politics here...... So you think Taliban will still be in existence if it were on the American soil? There is a limit to what you can do in another man's country.

Ashes on the forehead don't make you sorry for your wine, they only remind you of your mortal nature, that dust you are and unto dust you shall return.
The decision to be sorry for your sins is entirely yours and not the Church's or the ashes.
