I quite respect your choice of language, but may I clearly state it clearly that FG is aiding and abating Insurgency and Banditry.

How many Fulani people have they arraigned for various killings in the South West? Eastern states Governors were reasonable for not forming any security that will be controlled by FG, just same way they rendered Amateku useless with the laws.

chiagozien:
Stop the ranting and tell me why you need another legal securities when you have legal securities like,legal Amotekun,legal police,legal military and legal opc.


All this legal legal yet no result,better to have one illegal that give results.

Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba Must Surrender Ethnic Identities To Nigeria By Fredrick Nwabufo
We, the Igbo, the Hausa, the Yoruba, the Fulani, the Ijaw, the Esan, the Urhobo – and all other ethnic nationalities -- should surrender our ethnic identities to the Nigerian identity. This does not imply abandoning our roots, but embracing an expansive identity for the survival of our country.

BY FREDRICK NWABUFOMAR 06, 2021

Genocides or mass killings do not just happen. They are usually harbingered by conspiracy theories of ethnic and religious complexions, sentiments, skewed perceptions and assumptions. Are all these ingredients of doom present in today’s Nigeria? Yes, very much so. But it is for this reason that we must not take a day off in pulling our country out of the precipice.


The Rwanda genocide is a familiar example but of which precedent Africans and Nigerians particularly, have refused to learn from. A smorgasbord of the precipitations of the Rwanda genocide bubbles in our country. The cauldron boils, and we are skating soberly into molten magma.

RECONCILIATION

In about 25 years after the genocide, Rwanda has been able to rebuild itself into the lodestar of Africa. It may not be a perfect country yet, but it is a fine example of how ethnic cleavages can be managed by deliberate government interventions.

Rwanda did not ignore or try to blot out the genocide from its history. It embraced its past shining a light into the present from the ruins of a never-to-be forgotten era. The East African country acknowledges till date that sombre episode and holds an annual event in memory of those lost to the violence.

Fredrick Nwabufo

To pour oil on troubled waters and permanently submerge the vestiges of ethnic conflicts, Rwanda launched a robust reconciliation programme and retooled the Rwandan Identity. Being Rwandan was no longer on the basis of whether you are Hutu or Tutsi.

Let me share a note by the UN on the Rwandan reconciliation effort:

‘’The reconciliation process in Rwanda focuses on reconstructing the Rwandan identity, as well as balancing justice, truth and peace and security in the country. Different measures have been taken by the Rwandan government towards achieving the goal of perpetrators and victims living side by side in peace. For example, the Constitution now states that all Rwandans share equal rights. And laws have been passed to fight discrimination and divisive genocide ideology.
Primary responsibility for reconciliation efforts in Rwanda rests with the National Unity and
Reconciliation Commission.’’

Would I be asking for too much if I request that the government make conscious effort at reconciling all Nigerian groups through intended policies – even if it means setting up a Unity Commission with pragmatic targets? I must say, as of now there is no wilful policy or programme by the government to manage our unity.

You cannot seek to suppress epochal outcomes of the past, whether they are negative or positive, in the life of a people and expect to manufacture congenial relationships. When there is suppression, there is resistance. Whatever you seek to suppress will always be given oomph from the underground.

The little annoyances that effectuated the Nigeria-Biafra civil war are still very much a concern. They remain unaddressed largely because a succession of leaderships did not want to walk the wire for Nigerians or take a middle-of-the-road approach to governance. We have had leaderships, with the exception of the Obasanjo administration, who put their ethnic and religious interests at the centre of governance.

We need to address the issue of ‘’ethnic origin and identity?’’ Am I a Nigerian because I am Igbo? Or Am I a Nigerian by virtue of my birth and allegiance to my country? The truth is most ‘’citizens’’ submit to their ethnic nationalities rather than to Nigeria. They derive their identity not from Nigeria but from their ethnic stock. It is the reason some of them can unleash violence on other citizens of different ethnic spectrum if they perceive their ‘’own’’ is violated.

We need to build a Nigerian identity. All ethnic nationalities must surrender their individual identities to a Nigerian identity. Like it is in Rwanda, it can happen in our country.

We must be deliberate about managing our diversity. This is where the leadership is remiss. There is no calculated policy to harmonise ethnic divergences and sensitivities; understand this chasm and forge a strong bridge across all lines.

The recent blockade of food supplies to the south should prick us to reflect on the unhinged compassing of our nation. We are on a delicate bend. Nigeria needs men and women who will rise to the responsibility of leadership and steer it ashore -- statesmen and nationalists – men and women who have conquered the lure of ethnic and religious cravings.

I understand the intervention of Yahaya Bello, governor of Kogi state, saved the situation – of what could have snowballed into an ethnic tit-for-tat. Though I learnt another governor was furious with him for intervening in the matter. According to my sources, the obverse governor told Bello that the ‘’south should be allowed to suffer’’.

Really, there are people in high places who live off Nigeria’s ethnic contours. We should starve them of this meal.

We, the Igbo, the Hausa, the Yoruba, the Fulani, the Ijaw, the Esan, the Urhobo – and all other ethnic nationalities -- should surrender our ethnic identities to the Nigerian identity. This does not imply abandoning our roots, but embracing an expansive identity for the survival of our country.

We need leadership.

May Nigeria succeed.

The Chairman of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, Boss Mustapha, has said that the COVID-19 vaccination certificate, will soon become a compulsory requirement to travel anywhere in the world.

Mustapha, who is also the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, stated this on Saturday at the New Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

He spoke shortly after President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, were vaccinated against COVID-19.

“Today, Mr President and the Vice-President have equally demonstrated leadership by offering themselves for the Nigerian people to believe in the safety and the efficacy of the vaccines that we have procured and is being deployed.

“Vaccine hesitancy will have to give way to reality because the truth about it is that very soon, nobody will be able to travel the world unless you produce the certificate that you have been given. I have not confirmed this but reliably, some countries have started putting restrictions for receiving visitors, even for exercising activities of their faith, without a COVID-19 vaccination certificate.

“The word that is going out there on behalf of Mr President is that Nigerians should make themselves available, those that are eligible in the first phase of the deployment, because the deployment is going to be in four phases, to receive these vaccines.

“They (vaccines) have been tested, our most strategic leadership have received these vaccines this morning. They are safe, they are efficacious and it is for the good and wellbeing of our people,” Mustapha said.

Abubakar Kawu Baraje has traced the origin of the current insecurity in the country to the influx of Fulani from neighboring countries like Sierra Leone, Mali, Senegal, Niger and Chad brought into the country for election purposes in 2015.

He said this in Ilorin as part of activities to mark his 70th birthday anniversary.


He also backed self-help initiatives of the south west governors, stating that re­sponses of Sunday Igboho to the herdsman menace were necessary because the Federal Government failed in its prin­cipal responsibility to secure life and property.

Baraje said that the ruling party was only wast­ing its time.

According to the former PDP chairman, who also once served as the party’s national secretary, chairman of the breakaway faction of PDP that formed the nucleus of the current ruling party, the Fulani men causing havoc in the country are not aboriginal to Nigeria.


“We are not asking the right question on how the same Fu­lani we have been living with suddenly turned out a menace.

“We also must ask how they had access to their guns,” the ex-party chairman asked.

Baraje stated the Fulani men wreaking havoc in the country are not the Nigerian Fulani. “The security agencies have not been open about the nature of the problem.

anyone know how much is going to Nancy District for new subway. I don’t understand. Mr Biden has been in Congress for many years. He knows how the process works. Why would he try to raise min wage in in America rescue plan? He is a veteran of the Congress. He knows how the process works. I only want him to do everything professional. I voted for the guy. Now I really want to kick myself in the ass. But that is the way life is. Some times everyone makes a wrong decision in life. We pay for are mistakes! I will pick myself up and keep focused on my future. I just want America normal, not great.

Most of the applicants with Ph.D are only afraid of one name which is Abiodun Adewuya who's Professor of Behavioural Medicine without Ph.D but fellowship and currently the Acting Provost College of Medicine, LASUCOM. This man has published lots of researches more than any of the candidates and also he's still very young less than 50 and also a disciplinarian and hence the Ph.D wahala. They know that the man is likely to become the VC of LASU, he's going to turns things around and there won't be any chop make I chop level for the institution.

emapeteum:
Hmmm. most PhD holders are half-baked, then these doctors are the best brains!. It sounds so funny that somebody who is undergoing an apprenticeship is equivalent to one with a PhD? My dear, do you make the right findings before putting your thought in the public domain?
It was even wrong in the first instance to have even made the man a Professor? Tell me one groundbreaking research work that was done with a fellow in the medical field which has both local and global impact. Most findings by PhD candidates are original thought, while the so-called fellowship is not to fill a research gap, but simply based on known ideas to solving the local problem - no original thought. Saying one is not properly informed, with you getting your source from either Wikipedia or from an unreliable source is the worst. Though some PhD holders are questionable, PhD is not equivalent to a fellowship- medicine, ican or whatever !!!

Professional qualifications are different from academic qualifications!

In Nigeria, we like to turn things upside down!
We borrowed western education from the west but we always try to pretend like though we are wiser than the west from whom we borrowed these things.

In the west, you have no business in the academic environment without a PhD!

Na God. Each job is 24 hours. I got two security jobs that as little stress. I sleep at night and the next day I go to the other work. So I was moving from work to work. I only go home once in a while during weekends. That if my supervisors give me permission.
