Nigerian media exaggerating activities of bandits –Ex ACF scribe

Immediate past Secretary General of Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), Mr Sani has blamed corona virus for insecurity in the country

While admitting that insecurity is a very serious source of concern for most Nigerians, Sani insisted that the Nigerian media have been exaggerating the country’s security challenges.

Speaking with SATURDAY SUN,
he explained that the coronavirus pandemic is responsible for the escalating insecurity in the country. He also noted that Nigeria might have no choice than to negotiate with bandits unless there are enough resources and manpower to face the criminals head-on.
He also insisted that calls for secession or self-determination are not popular among the majority of Igbo and Yoruba people.

Excerpts:
Some Northern leaders have stated that power should shift to the South-East in 2023. Some others have said no. What’s your take on that?

I have said it over and over again that in the absence of a national consensus on politics of zoning, every group should devise its winning game plan and canvass for the electoral mandate, considering that politics is a matter of group interest, group goal, group cohesion, group coherence and even group conspiracy. I have said it over and over again that when it comes to partisan politics, northerners go by their preferred separate political parties. That was why Alhaji Shehu Shagari contested not only against Chief Awolowo and Dr Azikiwe from the South but also against Mallam Aminu Kano and Alhaji Ibrahim Wazirin from the North In 1979. We have had such experiences in the current republic. Therefore, the observed differences about whether the presidency should be in the South, and to Igbo in particular, is natural concomitant of the practice of party democracy in the North. Nothing exotic or quixotic about it.

What do you make of the calls for an Oduduwa Republic by some Yoruba groups?

Those calling for Oduduwa Republic have the right to express their opinions. But the good news is that they do not do so in representative capacity of the Yoruba nation. Most Yoruba have curtly dismissed the calls for the split of the country, just like most Igbo have done to IPOB. Governor Wike and Chief Edwin Clark have also dissociated their people from Asari Dokubo’s position on the split of Nigeria. This shows that majority of Nigerians are not for the split of the country and are resolved to overcome the current challenges that are not beyond redemption.

Coming from a man that blames corona virus for the state of insecurity in the country..smh
Anyway, I dare FG to carry out a referendum .let's see how popular this thing is

Once a Northern 'elder' opens his mouth to talk, he must say the most shocking rubbish you've ever heard

Northern Nigeria has the highest collection of foolish old men in the world. Every time a supposed elder from the North opens his mouth, you discover gargantuan stupidity.

Northerners are funny

A year old Corona virus is the reason for an age long agitation and insecurity in Nigeria says a northern male swine.

This sanitary pad is a disgrace to humanity, the truth is that all northerners want one Nigeria because they benefits alot.
We must end this contraption called Nigeria before 2023

See comments.
But the old man view on the issue might be correct.

Me myself I hate one nigeria.
One nigeria has failed us.

how did Corona virus lead to insecurity in the country.? the was some persons even think sef like some Nairalander shocks me

"He explained that the coronavirus pandemic is responsible for the escalating insecurity in the country."

Wawu!

The herders have been destroying people's farmlands and homes, abducting and raping women and killing people all over the country. But then, they want the south to keep quiet like Plateau, Benue and Southern Kaduna.

Now that southerners are rising to the occasion, this oldie is blaming it on coronavirus. Indeed, rational people from the north are not up to 5.

They took PICTURES publicly with The GOVERNOR of KATSINA STATE.

He is right,Corona virus is the curse of Boko haram.

Who the f**k is this gworo chewing, bandit loving, typically braindead aboki to know what is popular or not in the south?!

techmo:
Northerners are funny

Northerners are not renowned for their intelligence.

Northerners are super daft.

OK let there be referendum so everyone is sure.

May be because of social distancing, the security forces are now distancing themselves from the Fulani bandits :-

There's democratic means called referendum to can easily be used to ascertain . Self determination is a right !

Those calling for Oduduwa Republic have the right to express their opinions. But the good news is that they do not do so in representative capacity of the Yoruba nation.

This shows that majority of Nigerians are not for the split of the country

In his mind, when a few notable people dissociate themselves from Oduduwa and Biafra, it means that the majority are against Oduduwa and Biafra?

Can this man count? Someone explain to this man the difference between minority and majority
