A Lesson For All Nigerians

Mubi, the biggest commercial town in Adamawa state, was thrown into chaos the day Boko Haram descended on it and the people found themselves running for their lives. The terrorists shot sporadically, killing a lot of people while those who could escape jumped into any available car to run to safety. Christians, Muslims, Igbos, Yorubas, Tivs, Hausas and any tribe or religion, jumped onto any vehicle that was headed outside the town. Soldiers scampered onto trucks with civilians, begging to be saved, hundreds of people who could not get a vehicle ran into the hills. In their frantic effort to stay alive, no one paid attention to anybody’s religion or ethnicity before asking them for help or helping them to stay alive. It was a community of people, united by their desire to escape the common enemy that hunted them all without discrimination. Ethnicity and religion vanished, all they were left with was their humanity. Those climbing the hills stayed together, helping one another stay on their feet as they all tried to survive.

The most interesting part of the narrative is that the Chief of Defence Staff, Air Marshal Badeh is from the same town of Mubi. It has been reported that few hours before the attack, helicopters flew in and evacuated his family members from the town. The chief of Defence staff by the way, is the most senior military officer in Nigeria and he controls the army, navy and air force. Before that sad day, someone from Mubi would have boasted that the Chief of Defence Staff is from their home town. But on the day that it mattered the most, he evacuated only his family members and abandoned everyone else to their fate. It means he had information of the impending attack and as the most senior military commander, he did not fly into the town to lead his men in battle to defend the community. He quietly saved only his family and left even the soldiers without an inspiring commander to motivate them to engage the terrorists and defend the town.

One lesson all Nigerians must learn from this story is that as a people, all we have is our neighbours. When you need some help at home, you knock on the door of your neighbour. The president, governor, senator or minister is not there to help you. Why then should you continue to fight your neighbour because of a man or woman who cares only about his own family? Our elites may deceive us about sharing the same religion or ethnicity with us, but time and again, they have proven that they do not care. We have been fools, killing one another on the basis of religion and ethnicity while they stay united across all the divides and plunder our wealth. The time has come for us to rise, educate one another and unite to fight our common enemy. The politicians are our enemies and not the poor struggling men and women in our neighbourhoods.

What now will the people of Mubi boast about as the gain of having their son as the chief of Defence Staff? If you go to Otueke where Jonathan comes from, there are many people who live in excruciating poverty! There is still a lot of poverty and suffering in the home towns of all our governors, ministers, parliamentarians and former presidents, while they and their families live in scandalous affluence. The minister of petroleum spent over 10 billion Naira on a private jet. That money can end the poverty of several communities in her state. Stella Oduah bought two cars with 225million Naira while there are people in her home town who can’t afford 500 Naira to feed their family in a day.

No we expect him to gallantly lead his men to protect his town. If he lead the army hiself, the morale will be high and we might defeat boko haram.

My friend try to be objective, why didn't him come for his family after the attack. The question you should be asking is why are they deceiving us, why do they pretend to love us why the system is, "rubbing Peter to pay Paul". This has really shown us that they are the Boko harams.

such a foolish and unreasonable comment...you should have kept quiet if you don't have anything to say.

how would you hv identified pro-GEJ??

When Ihejirika was COAS, they say he was using too much force, now Badeh is CDS, military officers are fleeing battle and the haramites are conquering towns n lgas. Agreeing with the writer, we need to rise above tribalism.

where did we get it wrong sef? are we not capable of winning this battle??

Walahi, thunder weh go fire you no go get break. I'm sure you must be dangerously stewpeed(a real fvcktard) off internet. If not you won't give this reply.

They will soon come for you. They will drag you out and slaughter you, ediot. Heartless animal. Omo ale jatijati.

I think the suitable title for the topic is; BRING BACK IHEJIRIKA.

It is well.

Abeg leave dat guy o. He has jst spoken out his true persn. Now you know many Nigerians abuse the 'human brain'. No wonder they call us the giant of Africa! Africa meaning the land of apes.

PrinceAkbabio:
OPs so u expected hm 2 evacuate evrybody in d town?

Hmm! So this is one of the leaders of tomorrow! You just revealed to a deeper extent, how unprepared Nigeria is for the future! Shm.

@ Princeakpabio or wetin you call yourself you are a very big eediot regardless of your age and you deserve every insult you get on this thread. Na today we dey know say we are on our own in this country. I have always said Revolution is the only solution to the problem of this country, the earlier we realize it the better for us.

I weep for my country. Weak commander in chief, weak chief of defence staff. How 'll the soldiers annihilate the demons. When d head is rottened, the whole body is decomposed.

How can the obese man lead an army...joke

It is for reasons like this that i did not believe in 9ja, neither do i trust her.
You have already seen people who are kind of indirectly involved in the struggle already asking what can go for a stupid question.

By the way, what is the of meaning leadership in 9ja if not that he is leading his family and is a pot-bellied thief?
Is that ocassion not the time a true leader should demostrate his self sacrificing spirit of leadership?
Whereas true leaders are to serve his people, here in 9ja, leaders are to be revered and whorshipped.

Yet their worshippers are still at the receiving end of all their bad policies.
Inspite of all you said OP, most people will still come here and show how myopic they are by insulting everybody whose view does not agree with their own.
They only learn to type but are not cultured enough to engage in a decent argument.
Well, to the people of Mubi, it is an eye opener really.
Someone who cannot defend his own village, community, home-town/state, yet in leadership possition to defend a Country?
I rest my case.

PrinceAkbabio:
OPs so u expected hm 2 evacuate evrybody in d town?

U shouldnt hv typed this. See what you caused to ursef.

It should be known to all that from henceforth, this boy is a he goat, soon you would all see the silly face of the he goat.

Bring back Ihejirika...Bring back Ihejirika...Bring back Ihejirika

Very nice. All Nigerians need to read this, especially the ethnic champions and fanatics from all religions.

lies ooooooo
chai

So Badeh is from Mubi town and Boko Haram Overran that place. I don't know whether after this incident his people who knew him right from when he was a toddler will still believe that he can protect their small village with all the whole Nigerian Military. How do you expect me to be calm when one clueless bingo will come and tell me that they are in control of the situation with the same Military to protect the whole Country under this same Man who must be relaxing in his luxury lifestyle and just be thinking of how to loot next year Military budget.

A big lesson indeed.

while Tambuwal is fighting for seat in the stadium, Tinubu has sneaked off to London hospital again.

Such a pity....this is a very good lesson to all the clueless pro PDP AND APC supporters here. Your "heroes" care less about you.

They only remember you when they want to score a cheap political card....or when they need your votes.

Talking about votes...do you people think your vote really count?
