Just yesterday Arewa youths threatened the unity of this country with their provocative protest against the south, calling for the immediate dissolution of the nation. In the protest. they issued an ultimatum to all southerners living in the north to vacate immediately or face their wrath. Unsurprisingly, they went home free and safe from the torture and arrest that would have been meted to MASSOB members or Igbo man for what the security would term "treasonable felony" against the country. they were even sponsored by some political leaders in the north and their ego placatingly massaged by the emir of Kano on matching to his palace.
Again this morning, Asari Dokubo in his usual vituperation and penchant for calling for war, threatened the unity of the country by descending heavily on the north and calling for war against the north. As usual he went home free and more powerful than the Nigerian security apparatus.
Why would Nigeria loose sleep when massob carry out protest or gather to strategise on the ideology they believe in. Why is the Nigerian security ever on hand to arrest and torture massob and the BZM whenever they gather? Are these groups different from other secessionist movement in other parts of this country?
Have we ever wondered why this country is not progressing? I think the answer is not far from injustice and hatred.
