Ibrahim Yahaya addresses Femi Fani-
Kayode – one of the most controversial figures on
the Nigerian political arena. Mr Yahaya tries to
convince the notorious opinion-maker to direct his
advanced writing skills to promoting unity instead
of instigating hatred and violence among the
Nigerian ehnic groups.
The earth remained silent whilst my heart lurked
and wondered in agony searching for a balm to
ease the mental trouble caused by your words.
They kept attacking my thoughts as I laid restless,
unable to sleep. A mental torture was like to a
heavy whip on a bleeding skin.
Unworthy application of usefull skills
For some unknown reasons I admire your literary
skills. Not much can be said about your personality.
Fair enough, I learnt to be less fond of you as a
person. If I were in your shoes, I would choose to
use the ink to address the matters of the state,
rather than to belabour a person, a group or an
entity, objectively.
No grudges, sir, but I strongly disapprove of the
people, who do everything to set the country ablaze
with unnecessary rhetoric, I seriously do. At the
point, where unity is undoubtedly an exigency, you,
who have labeled yourself as a good citizen and
patriot, strive vigorously to preach the opposite.
Haba! Try to sell the assumption that you honestly
care about Nigeria for once.
The bitterness of defeat
I bet with my birth certificate that you would not
have set fire of disintegration to Nigeria had your
principal won the 2015 poll. You would have been a
unity preacher then! You would have used your
literary skills to polish the need for the united
Nigeria, and sing a lullaby to every soul trying to
heal the old wound of the civil war. Is it not time to
wake up from the illusions and vile attempts to split
the nation, and embrace the fact that the election
was lost?
I may be an ordinary citizen, but I am proud of my
country. The little time spent visiting the egregious
past can be diverted into the brainstorming
sessions to move Nigeria forward.
Biafra issue
It is of no relevance to make unnecessary calls and
paint someone a hero rather than an enemy of
peace. Truth be told, nobody contributed to the
travails of our Igbo brothers; they did it
themselves. They have been neglected to some
extent in the past because the wound was still
fresh, and we had very bad government. A new
administration came to spread the breathe of
succour to the masses across the country, and
reduce the divide existing as a result of the war.
Our Igbo brothers should join us to make it a
reality unless these attempts fall into oblivion. I
believe you should echo the same advice.
I find it difficult to come to terms with your mind-
blowing assertions, when you talk about Biafra, sir.
No disrespect, but I feel you can do much better by
preaching restraint, not the opposite. We both
know the potent force the media hold, hence the
need for caution in our articles. Innocent lives with
little or no knowledge about the civil war might get
inspired by your well-cooked jaundice-spiced
narratives aimed at reducing the country to shreds.
The real freedom is in restraint
Yes, freedom of expression and speech is relevant.
However, there is no such thing as absolute
freedom. You must always be cautious about how,
when and what you say. You should shy away from
blowing the whistle of unrest, spicing the flames of
tension and harassing the thin fabrics of unity. It is
to our detriment if Nigeria falls for the seductive
drum of war. All parties should unite to return
Nigeria to her status of the African Giant. This is
not the time for irrelevant discussions.
It is now very obvious that our reason for expelling
the former principal was the misconception that
the man was bad. Verily, the man was good; he
only wined and dined with the bad company. If the
ideas expressed in your articles are a reflection of
the pieces of advice you gave the former president,
I know exactly who stands behind his fall. However,
I do not think you do.
Stop the dangerous propaganda!
Sir, you must not rape the unity of Nigeria via your
well-apprehended tantrums. You must not beat the
drum of unrest simply because of the ill feelings
you have towards the incumbent administration.
You must not cause trepidation in the hearts of
many Nigerians by recalling the unpleasant
memories of the civil war. Sir, you must learn to
use your skills to quell any threat to the unity of our
poor nation. We have endured bad governance for
too long. Please, do not heap more misery to the
poor Nigerians because we are destined to bear
the brunt of any disaster, especially war. You and
your likes are having a honeymoon outside the
country while the innocent poor you have misled
suffer in agony.
You should be wary of the calls you make because
you would go down in history as the one who
refused to allow the sleeping dog lie. That is
something I think you would not like.
Sir, the quest of making Nigeria a great place to live
is not a one man’s job. This onerous task requires
collective effort. They say: united we stand, and
divided we fall. I therefore admonish you to weigh
the consequences of your words before they are
made public. The unity of Nigeria is sacrosanct!
Ibrahim Yahaya writes from Suleja, Niger state.

It should be scrapped ofcourse coz d aim has been defeated. Its no more a programme that promotes unity but rather a chance for Nigerian graduates to enjoy themselves and promote moral decadence. Many young graduates God-fearing lives have turned to devilish and fornicative. I'm sorry if u find dis harsh, but that's the fact.

Which God is d secretary refering 2 wen she was praying? Spartacus? Jessica will dine in hell tonight. Now u can give d devil Mouth Gig

What d OP is giving us bout Unilorin is d Land mass of Illorin, not dat of d Univ. Go back 2 ur wikipedia nd read well. For anybody dat ever visited UDUSOK will knw dat dat University has no boundary.

No wonder Silverdam's "About me" statement on facebook reads like dis: "
am very jovial and i look like a girl". He's surely a Gay

OMG...Chuckle
I met a girl on face-book and we met face to face, I
decided to take her to an eatery place where we can
relax and talk better, I was with N500. I paid for our
bike N200 and I was left with N300. When we got
there before I could order for malt for her, she
ordered for 3 bottles of big stout 1500 and 2 plate of
pepper soup that is N1000 and asked me to go
outside and buy her recharged card ofN1500. Now I
am outside. What do you think I should do? Please
I need ur advice now!!

Its not a suprise wen ppl attack SLS and northerners because of dis. Frm d tweets, it can be concluded dat d fools are not jst sad because his eminence SLS married an 18yr old bt also because of dia hate for north and northerners. If d idiots dnt knw d age @ which one is regarded 2 be an adult, dey shud luk @ dia 18yr old sisters nd daughters. Is marrying an 18yr old a crime or raping a 9yr old? Hw many under 20s are having sugar daddys dat are above 60 or 70yrs? At wat age did dia mothers got married 2 dia fathers? Is it a crime 2 get married 2 an 18yr old in d so called civilised nations? Lastly and most important, @ is dia any scripture dat forbids marryn an 18yr old?

Biafra is that country that once faught with Nigeria & they still exist.

I'm a Biafran!

I think every nation, race, tribe or people fight for a course or another. And until dey acheive dat course, it is regarded a victory. Any fight or war dat ended with surrendering or yielding is called COWARDNESS. I think dats exactly wat d so called biafran ppl did. Accept it dat u can neva become a Nation because of ur cowardness.

ebengems:
i'm glad a history is finally erupting from the North..i thought those fellows are so corn + fused set of people

Oh dear! D history remember her as a heroin and warrior, not lyk ur coward grandfather Ojukwu. Everybody knws dats his legacy "cowardness". This still runs in d blood of ur ppl.

Bonapart:
To me Northerners are not Nigerians because they are different in everything: they value cows more than human that's why they can suicide bomb anyone


Neither am i: i be confirmed Biafran

Say wat you wanna it won't change a thing still

Wateva ur ethnicity or claimed nationality, all u can do is talk. D same tin ur ancestors were doing since 14 A.D. Cowards u are. Good in shouting but worse in acting. Try any nonsense and we'll see d end of ur race, Natural criminals.

eleojo23:
Why not allow this man to do his work without all this unnecessary flatteries?

Are u jealous ni?

Well said, I wish an igbo man said dis wen my hausa broda was caught stealing mere bridge pipes. They were all over him lyk he committed d worst sin ever. I strongly support wat u say, we shud stop tribalizn crimes nd criminals.

This are d kinda ppl dat spend 10yrs in d University and manage 2 graduate with a pass degree after senate's amnesty 2 allow d dead brains pass. This picture clearly say a lot bout dem. Its madness of d 1st order and I'm quite sure dis is not wat dia responsible lecturers taught dem. Admissions shud not jst be given based on Jamb and post-jamb scores, mental and psychological report of prospective students shud be obtained.

O! he luks lyk d oda man dey showed on TV last 9te dat raped a 9 year old. And lastly, make sure u check his car trunk well he luks lyk a ritualist.

kingreign:
Mr, behave matured and stop this silly tribalism, no tribe can claim righteousness when it comes to theft.

u started it dear. Making fun of other tribes make u guyz feel happy as if ur tribe is made up of saints and angels. Park well!

kingreign:
Can't you make a simple comment without bringing unhealthy tribalistic sentiments into it? As if your tribe is full saints, righteous and law abiding citizens.

My broda tell him pls. And wat baffles me most is dat it is his ppl dat hv d highest number of criminals inside nd outside of dis country. Dey are d ritualists, drug kingpins, kidnappers, traffickers and abusers.

Aswear that guy na Ab0ki ....Nigeria's poorest region

Thank God its jst mere bridge rails he was caught stealing. Many of ur ppl wia caught while in d act of robbery, many with drugs, many caught with human parts. Many of dem are kidnappers. Arewas, malo, aboki, northerner or any oda name u feel lyk calln us, we are proud of ourselves. D extent of poverty u are imagining facing us didn't make us get involved dis gravely offences. I believe every region of dis country depend on the others. My region provide d nation with food.

McCarlito:
All these Abokki sef

that's d problem with u dumb-ass, all d "hellish" and wicked crimes ur ppl do u dnt c, it is dis cheap crime u re making fun of. U see, I agree dat in every tribe dia is sm degree of tribalism, but its obvious dat a particular tribe in dis forum cnt do without showing dia unacceptance of other tribes. Wateva tribe or region u come frm, u re only beta dan odas wen u hv d beta character nd morales. #nototribalism
