There’s Hunger, Starvation In The Land, Northern Leaders Tell Buhari by Taeewo(m): 4:40am On Oct 11, 2016
Godwin Isenyo, Kaduna

Northern leaders gathered on Monday in Kaduna, the Kaduna State capital and told President Muhammadu Buhari to work harder at fixing the nation’s economy because there was hunger and starvation in the land.

The northern leaders, however, said that despite the current economic woes characterising the President Buhari’s administration, their votes for him (Buhari) in the 2015 presidential election were never wasted.

If Buhari or any other northerner presented himself for Presidency in 2019, they said, they would gladly vote for the individual.

A former Secretary of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, who spoke on behalf of the northern elders at the Northern Group’s Summit organised by the Northern Elders Forum in Kaduna on Monday.

Besides, Baba-Ahmed said the summit was being held in Kaduna because of the prevailing peace brought about by the decimation of the Boko Haram sect by the Buhari administration.

He said, “Today, we meet in Kaduna in a vastly-improved security atmosphere, with the Boko Haram sect pinned to enclaves. Some will say thank you to President Buhari; we will say, you have delivered on one of your promises, which was to improve our security.”

The former INEC boss, however, reminded the President that there was hunger and starvation in the land.

He said, “We will not join those who say President Buhari should stop reminding us of a past that is haunting us today. But we will join those who remind him daily that hunger is stalking millions of homes. Inflation is making life difficult by the day. People are losing their jobs. Businesses are closing down. Infrastructure is decaying. Young Nigerians are losing hope of being employed. Our hospitals are full of people who suffer mysterious illnesses, and they cannot afford the fees.”

Baba-Ahmed said despite the current economic woes in the country, the northern votes for Buhari in 2015 were not wasted, insisting that the North did not make mistakes in voting for the President.

He added, “So, those who are disposed to listen, please listen. Northern votes were not wasted in electing President Buhari. In 2019, we will also use our votes in a manner consistent with our interests as northerners. We did not make a mistake in putting up a solid, united front as northerners in spite of our ethno-religions differences.”

Meanwhile, the Chairman, Northern Governors Forum and helmsman of Borno State, Alhaji Kashim Shettima, has said that nobody, be it the Indigenous People of Biafra or any other separatist agitators, can divide Nigeria.

Shettima, while addressing the leading lights of the region which included, governors, senators, captains of industries, retired senior military officers, also hailed Buhari for fulfilling one of his promises of decimating the Boko Haram insurgents in the North-East and other parts of the region.

The activities of the dreaded Boko Haram insurgents had claimed over 20,000 lives since 2009 and rendered no fewer than two million people homeless.

Shettima said the current calls by some Nigerians particularly the Igbo and other ethnic nationalities in the country were purely the handiwork of those who had lost in the “chess of power politics” in the country.

He noted that there was no single ethnic nationality in the country that had a greater stake in the continued existence of Nigeria than the Igbo, saying that continuous agitation for the decimation of the country would remain an illusion.

Besides, Shettima argued that the greatest tragedy that befell the country was the emergence of the Goodluck Jonathan administration.

The Borno State governor noted that the Jonathan administration made every effort to not only divide the North but the entire country along ethnic and religious lines.

He added that no matter the differences, nobody or group could balkanise the Nigerian nation.

Hunger is a mild word, starvation is permissible, the next thing for them in the north is cannibalism, very soon they will start cooking one another for meals.
PMB is not a leader he is an avenger
It's a pity people make him what he's not, he's the wrong candidate for leadership cuz there are better leaders in the north.
PMB plunged this country into economic mess in the name of fighting "corruption".

There is more hunger in the North than the South

No one should sympathize with the North and the West over this hunger issue who voted Buhari out of ethnoreligious hatred for the glorious South.

I laugh at the zombies who were telling me to go and drink my oyel.

Isnt it ironic that your giant "my ass" of Africa is on the brink of bankruptcy over that same oyel?

There was a time here on this platform where some "Tajus" , "Mulikats" and their "Adamu" ab0ki masters where telling us from the ND that our oyel was worthless and that we could not feed ourselves due to the environmental degradation of our land and water due to 50yrs of irresponsible oil exploration. They told me to go and drink my oyel!

One Taju told me that he wishes the oyel to crash to one dollar. I lolled! Why ? Because the change chanting zombie never knew that they were the ones more dependent on the oyel .

Now that oil is crashing and will continue to crash, and they are seeing the reality of an oil crash on their parasitic yeast economy I wonder if they still want to see the oyel crash.

Loooooooooooooooolz!

All your change nonsnese was based on feeding off the golden geese and as things stand you dont have a single clue on what to do next.

Isnt this pathetic to say the least?

I have been warning and advising you to go back to the farm but una refuse. If you had heeded my warning 5yrs ago you will be harvesting cocoa pods by now but NO una too sophisticated to farm again.

And to make matters worse off, economic analysts are predicting a 7 yrs low in oil prices.

7 yrs ! The schmitta began on september 23, 2015. For the next seven years you will go through severe famine all because you refused to remove your ingrate lazy parasitic eyes off my oyel.

Jonathan has gone with his goodluck.

God can never be at peace with a nation ruled by evil heartless bloodletting people who have spilled the blood of his children for power.

What they seek with power they will never achieve but rather that same power they killed, slandered and blackmailed for will be their stage of disgrace!


Enjoy your next 7yrs famine and dont think it will end after 7yrs because if you dont repent it will continue for another 7yrs.

I can see "les miserables" wailing profusely on this thread, still angered by the fact they lost the e-war over the detention of the judges and have taken to this thread to console themselves.

All iPod illiterates should understand this, we are in recession and a lot of negativities accompany such situation- hunger is one of them. So saying "there is hunger in the land" isn't something of a "criticism" under the current situation ye Bonobos.

Always find them falling over themselves spitting brown saliva all over the place when issues about Nigeria is on the plate, yet the say they want out- confused Bonobos. Wail endlessly about economy not doing well yet pay constantly it fails- madness I call it.

I don't blame them, i blame Yoruba nation who sees people of south south and southeast as enemies and Hausa/Fulani as friends. If Yoruba had seen the people south south and southeast as brothers, friends and good neighbours with middle belt in alliance with us. These cattle rearers would not had gotten this boldness. Until we the southerners comes together as one and speak with one voice, the illiterates will keep ruling over the educated.

. God will continue to punish Nigeria until Buhari finished his tenure, what most of you don't know is power gotten with the spill on innocent blood will continue to hunt the land, by sacrificing those innocent children in the process of making government ungovernable for Jonathan will dry the nation because their souls are crying for revenge. And nothing done can appease them unless the failure of those who partake in that so what Nigeria needs now is prayers until buhari finished his tenure.
