It’s high time I say my mind on what is happening in the northern states of Nigeria. I have always sat and watched the way news from the northern states is treated by the southerners here. Even though to say Nigeria is one would look and definitely fuel tribalistic views from others…. I will still like to say things the way they are.

Before the death of Sheik Jafar Adams, he publicly opposed the doctrines of Yusif Muhammad…. There was even a live debate where Yusif praised the wisdom of Ja’afar.

We Christians who had stayed in Kano, experienced all the riots and eventually sent packing by the book haram menace, surely have a tale to tell. Reading it several times in articles that Islam is an evil religion, I won’t stand to contradict it…. Even though there are still some few good eggs among them. (Well, a soiled finger affects the rest). The problem of Boko Haram rubs on us all and their menace will continue if the Southerners in Nigeria keeps thinking that Boko Haram is a Northern conspiracy.

It pained my heart during the January 20th 2012 attack when friends with whom we have all planned our future with were gunned down in cold blood when the attackers gained entrance into Bompai Police Barracks. Watching them being buried en-masse was really heart wrenching as I watched them take their dreams to the great beyond.

Putting blames on government on the government and securities outfit will do one good. Little by little, the wind of ill-fate blowing in the North will definitely find its way into the south if nothing is done about it.

Fellow Nairalanders, especially those of you outside the shores of this country, try as much as you can to fight this spirit of disunity that is threatening the very foundation of this country. It has never been heard that a country was divided peacefully, without records of death. The death toll that the media carried after the attack in Kano is like ten times that amount. I leave you to put two and two together. Should a war break out now, no matter how well prepared we may think we are, we will definitely lose love ones. The top men in this country will only take their children to s safe haven and from their watch the outcome of this so called Sovereign Meeting. The masses and by the masses, I mean the peasants and those struggling to make ends meet will face the travail of war…,

Put this into your heart and strive hard to use the pen as a medium of uniting our country instead of as an apple of discord…….
