Jos: No Peace Without Justice. The way things are happening at almost the speed of light in Nigeria is alarming. Most of them trace their roots to injustice and the inability of our leaders to address it. Once you hear of something, before you chew it over, swallow and digest it, another thing comes up. Nothing gets settled, and in more cases than one, settled matters do not get foreclosed through due process, but by our collective amnesia. Circumstances have made us deliberately amnesic. Why will you not choose to forget what you have no power over? Why should you keep in mind what you know the authorities will not see-through? If it were the authorities alone, perhaps you would keep reminding them of their duties, but even those affected forget. Perhaps to mitigate the pains, Nigerians have learnt to let go. But are the pains mitigated? Are they banished? No. Only justice can mitigate pain. Therefore, the silence of a man denied justice should not be misconstrued as forgetfulness, let alone forgiveness. Such a man will just lie low, deceiving all that he has forgotten. But any slight opportunity for revenge he sees, he seizes. This is the nature of man. Well, most men. The revenge, not done legally, even if justifiably, breeds another desire for revenge from the other party. It continues ad infinitum as long as authorities have not waded in and dispensed justice. One sure action some people take when authorities show reluctance to protect them from their assailants, or to punish the culprit, is for the victims to seek revenge. Do we read a pattern in which, for instance, Boko Haram insurgents who have taken arms against the state, killed and maimed innocents in tens of thousands, displaced people in millions and destroyed private and public property, are being “forgiven” and resettled in towns? Their children from illegitimate consummations will be freely educated while other children whose schools they had burnt are in IDP camps with their parents. They are being “resettled” with vocations while they have destroyed those of others. They will get houses after they have burnt those of others. And they are getting a new lease on life while they have snuffed that of others. All courtesy of the government that should prosecute them if not for their crimes against humanity, to set an example for potential brigands. Yet we want peace in our country! This is how non-state actors seize opportunities to manipulate disgruntled people. Plateau State is a case in point. There was a time the state prided itself as The Home of Peace and Tourism. No more. I doubt if there is anyone who will pick offence if it is now called The Home of Strife and Terrorism. The state has been in turmoil since the current political dispensation. Perhaps human greed is at the root of the evil that seems to have settled in that temperate location in a tropical country. Distribution of scarce resources through our representative politics of winner-takes-all is also not helping matters. This brought to the fore new political terminologies, “indigenes” and “non-indigenes”. Suddenly, people who have been living in a place since their great grandfathers’ time were designated “settlers” and thus cannot aspire to offices or secure some basic rights. This has been causing a lot of communal conflicts that have affected not only residents but innocent passersby. From 2001, when the first major riot communal clash occurred after over thirty years, to date, thousands have lost their lives. In 2010, Dogo Na Hauwa, an economically bubbling Hausa settlement, was attacked and people killed in their hundreds. The assailants threw many dead bodies into wells that became their graves. Riyom and Barikin Ladi also witnessed deadly attacks on Hausa settlers. These also became causes for revenge as those aggrieved carried out reprisal attacks. Thus, a cycle of revenge ensued. This war of attrition was to even cause the death of a senator. In the long run, the communities, who couldn’t sleep having murdered it, embraced peace and started sleeping with both eyes closed. We should also not forget that the Eid-ul-Fitr day of 2011 was also one of the saddest in the history of violence in Plateau State. Ramadan Sallah day fell on Monday 29 September. Assailants attacked the Muslim faithful on the prayer grounds in the Rukuba area. They killed many, their bodies desecrated, with some assailants roasting and eating some of their body parts. Most of these crimes were video graphed, yet no one was punished accordingly. The same fate was meted out on Major General Idris Alkali exactly three years ago at Dura-Du District, Jos South Local Government Area of Plateau State. He too was cannibalised. Those who committed that atrocity are free on bail. To quote a social media commentator, “And with each new round of violence comes another round of a flagrant display of lack of political will to punish, which gives birth to a mutated and a more deadly generation of murderers who are wired to believe ethnic cleansing is an easy tool for resolving knotty social conflicts with a little societal irritation as a side effect, instead of the repulsive anathema it is to the rest of the saner world.” While those were with the Birom, we are now witnessing another round between the Fulani and Irigwe. Just last week, Yelwan Shangwam was raided, apparently in a reprisal attack. We can say this started from when Muslim travellers from Bauchi were lynched a few weeks ago. No arrest was made and, perhaps, people believed that, as usual, the authorities will just sweep the hideous crime under the carpet. And so the fight of attrition will continue in a seesaw-like manner between Muslims and Christians, as long as those concerned continue to treat the unfortunate situation with levity, punishing no aggressor. The government must wake up and start dispensing justice in a timely fashion if our descent into bestiality must be halted and reversed. For how long will we remain watching people being killed for no other reason than that they belong to another tribe or religion? Why should we accept a situation where people will take the law into their hands and avenge themselves on one who was not a perpetrator but was unluckily passing by at the wrong time? But it may constrain one to ask: are our leaders ready to dispense justice? Do they feel for the downtrodden? Do our elite, who are influencers in the corridors of power, love our nation? Someone somewhere said, “It’s something to fear speaking because you could say something wrong, but it is agonising to self-censor because you fear you might say something right that is not allowed.” We need to ask questions and we need to talk. If not for our sake, for our nation and the future of those we brought to this world. Take the case of the Salihu Tanko Islamiya school pupils kidnapped in Tegina, 91 of whom they released last week. These pupils, aged four, five and above, spent three months in the kidnappers’ den. Six of them have already died, while some parents have also died of a heart attack. There are also the Federal College of Forestry, Kaduna, students still in the custody of their abductors. We also have the yet to be released girls from Federal Girls College Yauri. With the Islamiya pupils, their abductors asked for N100 million, which was negotiated down to about N70 million. The parents sold what valuables they could sell while the school’s proprietor sold off half of the Islamiya to raise funds for the ransom. The Forestry College students, too, are held captive pending the payment of ransom. Recently, some heart-wrenching video clips of the abductors torturing the students went viral. Some were being slashed with knives and others were beaten with horsewhips! Typical of us, we feign forgetfulness! Understandably, what can we do if those concerned are more engrossed in what soothes their fancies? What soothes the fancies of our leaders is what massages their big egos. Recently, the son of our president got married and all the elite were falling over themselves to outdo one another in spending for the couple. The money spent was enough to bring out all those kidnapped in Nigeria. Agreed, we should not pay kidnappers because it strengthens them and emboldens others to take to that ignominious trade, but the money is enough to train a vigilante army that can confront them as well as buy the gadgets to track them. The money is also enough to take off the streets and into schools potential kidnappers and insurgents. All those out-of-school kids are the recruitment base for all criminals. This behaviour of our elites makes one question their love for the country. Do they love the country, one may ask. But perhaps they will continue in their ways as long as those they are doing such “eye services” for do not frown at such misplaced priorities. Leaders must always be circumspect. A leader must reason where those outdoing themselves for him now were before he became the leader, or whether they will be there after he leaves office. Where were they when, in 2014, President Muhammadu Buhari had to take a bank loan to buy his presidential nomination form of less than N30 million? Where were they when the poor folks who believed in the messianic attributes of the president – but now at the receiving end of insecurity – were buying airtime to raise funds for the president’s campaign? Why should they be merry when many parents are in mournful moods over their kidnapped children, or when schools are forced to close? It is daily becoming clear that our elites pour their money on what ultimately may not be in the interest of the people. |
babaolofin:[b]The North is far bigger in land mass & population than the South. It has the highest number of states & local governments. The North has some of the most powerful governors, senators, federal appointees, politicians both serving & retired in Nigeria. The North also has the richest men & biggest captains of industry in Nigeria. It has the highest number of military Generals both serving & retired. The North equally has its fair share of reknown & accomplished academics in Nigeria & abroad in foreign universities. It has reknown religious scholars & fiery clerics as well as its fair share of unrepentant religious fundamentalists, radicals, hoodlums, criminals & terrorists. Inspite of all these, watch that whatever positions are zoned to them come 2023, they will choose, present & support their candidate seamlessly with less or no friction, rancour, dirty fight in public or the pages of newspapers & without assassinating each other. They understand politics & leadership. It's no coincidence therefore, that they have what they have. Islam is what regulates them and make them peaceful and never care to address the dirty lies, slander and insults from southerners online. But you see this presidency of Nigeria Southerners are threatening everybody that they must have come 2023; this 2023 presidency useless Southern governors & politicians are galivanting up & down insisting they must have -- governors & politicians whose only idea of governance is to issue press statements every month on Fulani herdsmen, cattle grazing & 2023 presidency to distract their gullible state citizens from the resources & allocations of their states they have stolen with nothing to show for it; you will see how these Southern governors & greedy power drunk Southern politicians will kill & destroy each other just to pick & present one presidential candidate. Watch how they will burn down the South with insecurity on the eve of 2023 as all these militias, unknown gunmen, Amotekun, Ebube Agu, ESN, OPC, Cult gangs, the various states police & vigilantes in the South will get new sponsors in these Southern governors & politicians as well as new sophisticated weapons from them as they jostle to eliminate each other[/b] |
babaolofin:A major problem the South has is how it underestimates the North. Their minders have led a majority of them to believe that the northerner is an unschooled slowpoke who only progresses through connections. Despite northerners that became billionaires by dint of hard work, intellectuals that have pushed the frontiers of scholarship, leaders that have provided impeccable administrations to great applause and politicians that rose like the colossus to dominate their environments, the average southerner still gets bamboozled – and envious – by the way the northerner dictates what goes where. But a pertinent question to ask is, why do people kick against federal character yet want a position zoned, rotated or surrendered to them? If they are as intelligent and educated as they think they are, then they should know that politics is all about bridge-building, consensus and give and take. However, in their confusion, despite their belief in the superiority of their intelligence, they take Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday Igboho as heroes. Some even believe they are comparable to Sheikh Gumi. |
[s] babaolofin:[/s] The problem with you southerners is that they you are brainwashed and programmed into accepting the new word into their dictionary and applying it to every Northerner... The problem is if you ask most of them the meaning of quota system, they don't even know it. They are just saying it because that is one of the things they were made to believe... They're the victims of what Chimamanda Adichie called "Single Story" They're fed up with the story of negatives. Programed clown Every Northerner Is A Product Of Quota System, Chew On This ... Do You know the Pacesetter, SARKI ABBA from KANO State ![]() |
babaolofin:They painted Sadam Hussien as satanic, Invaded Iraq and decimated lives, Lives were lost in millions, Livelihood disrupted, And nations put in ruins. You didn't see all these as calamities, You didn't see this as terrorism, But you see that man with turban and long beard as a terrorist! You are not far from a terrorist Because you close your eyes to the real act of terror While lives are brought to ruination. Hypocritically ... It is quite ironic that the haters of North try with their best attempts to discredit the True and Wonderful Region of peaceful, truthful people , even if it were a lie and you knew that it was a lie just like fulaniphobia you've been shouting up and down. Do you realize that is just an empty rant that you've been making? Such malicious Fabrications will never change the narrative the truth ans the fact remained! Buhari remains your president! While you remain an unknown shameless servant from the region of criminals and liars |
[s] asobo1:[/s]The only avenue you have to expose your ignorance, hate and foolish attitude is Nairaland.... What a shame |
[s] babaolofin:[/s] What else will you expect from a programed clown? I really pity your level of thought |

[s] kurupt1:[/s] They go to work, live, holiday & shop in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait & Qatar. While there, they subject themselves completely to Sharia laws & Islamic injunctions that govern these countries. They even learn Arabic to be able to communicate effectively. But here in Nigeria that is governed by laws & a constitution that is based on the Christian CANONICAL laws...; here in Nigeria that uses for all its official documents, schedules & civil observances the GREGORIAN calendar named after Pope Gregory XIII, who issued the papal bull Inter gravissimas in 1582, announcing calendar reforms for all of Catholic Christiandom which gave birth to the Gregorian calendar in use today also called the Western or Christian calendar...; they want to die whenever they see Arabic inscription on anything. They are so afraid of Islamization & are all running away to the Middle East to escape been Islamized by Buhari. Odiegwu Really! Self-deceit & idiotic hypocrisy should indeed have a limit!! |
BeardedMeat:You sound deeply hurted.....be fair, just and remove bigotry and it will be well with you |
lexy2014:YES |
lexy2014:In case you are ignorant lemme educate you! Sheikh Gummi is a retired officer of the Nigerian Army! He is fully aware of the law and he has been a peace loving person and have never ever preached against peace or in support of criminality in Nigeria....He is never and will never be like your clergymen and elders who shiled terrorists and are responsible for the uprisings in your area... Hence the DSS are aware of his mission and have escorted him to meet the bandits They are fully aware of everything unlike you fuuls that are fed by propaganda and lies and you think you are smart to come online and make comments or comparisons using his name... I really pity people like you! I repeat get him tried when you find him guilty of the lies you labelled against him! Did you for once heard him doing what your so called intelligence man did?

Mad People Everywhere. Bunch of comfused hateful clowns Southerners are embarassing themselves by their full support for criminals, terrorists on tribal sentimentalism. And their Hate for northerners |
lexy2014:Nonsense go and Publish the question yeye Southerner This is the problem with you people no matter where you are, you are collectively and mentally deranged, backward, criminally insane, bigoted and self-destructive. Here we have a retired personnel making heavy lies and claims about d sponsors of terorism he is a fugitive by implication and you are comparing him to someone trying to make peace with the knowledge and security clearance of the DSS.... So he must be invited because he is a northerner and a Muslim? You are a disgrace |
lexy2014:Go and teach them their job pls usless hatefull confused hater.... Are you also fron the land of killing policemen and burning stations? You are the most confusing set of people I've ever seen. When u make statement that suit them they praise u, if u do otherwise irrespective of the authenticity of the opinion they chastise u Nothing is as difficult as finding a Christian with sense. |
Where are the bandits and kidnappers being allowed to operate freely Why don't you go and join banditry in Zamfara or Kaduna...come back and tell us how "freely" you operated after one week..that's if you are still alive after the 12 Super Tucanos decapitate the earth crust in which your being stands.....you don't seem to understand the level now..Banditry will be a discussion that won't be really heard that much before this year runs out..Some of you kids just mouth off nonsense.. And it's Benin Republic that is allowing your so called freedom of Bandits and kidnappers.. Go and meet Evans in his cell and find out how "freely" he operated for years.. |
OLIVER TWIST, GREEDY SETS OF PEOPLE, THE NORTH IS WATCHING. SANUSI IS RIGHT AFTER ALL THE NORTH FEEDS THE ENTIRE COUNTRY YET WE NEVER MAKE SUCH STUPID DEMANDS This is a guy that I thought had something upstairs. Bigots like this are dangerous because they are not some lowlife ignorant buffon, but because they are willfully stupid. |
asobo1:A professor can be as foolish as you are ...... education and common sense are two different things.... people like you are ethnic bigots |
lexy2014:They wil only invite him whe he is found guilty..... Because of the hatred that has beclauded tour sense of reasoning you are unable to see the truth in my response... You guys are a gathering of IQ depleted individuals whose intelligence won't supersede the IQ of pig. That remains the only sane explanation for why your echo chamber of foolishness keeps Churning out one idiocy after another.. The more you expose yourselves here the more you get disgraced |
lexy2014:you lack common sense for comparing this brutal liar and agent of satan to Gummi While Gumi goes into the strongholds of bandits, calling on them to renounce banditry, your fool took it upon himself to uproot people from their bases on spurious excuses. For too long have we allowed sentiments to guide our utterances and actions |
Nairaland and other unsensored e-media outlets are nothing but promoters of hate,lies and propaganda. They depend on the guilible hateful population to sell their lies.... "When you have nothing to offer except promoting ethnic discordance and tribal conflict, you are the scum of the century. You are archaic, expired, and retrogressive. You are a failure and a disgrace to humanity. The darkness of tribalism has no chance in the light of human experience and divine wisdom. Remember; a good Nigeria is better than a good Arewa, Oduduwa or Biafra." |

The case of the retired Navy Officer who went on Channels TV to lay accusations about how people in Buhari's government are trying to Islamise Nigeria with Boko Haram is a case of you cannot wake someone that is pretending to be sleeping. Of course he is not that dumb, he was just trying too hard to say something that will make headlines. It is not hard to tell. In the course of the interview the man was everything, served in every committee, worked with everyone and in case you didn't know, he is the one who put an end to Niger Delta militancy in Nigeria, single handedly unless when he forgot and said it was Yar'adua. He also happen to train journalist and while at it, everything the journalist just so happen to ask about he suggested already in some secret military intelligence meeting. A very perfect man by his own description. Although full of lies and poor logic. In the process of hyping himself, he told open lies including claiming that only Muslims gain access to military base on Friday, Christians don't have same opportunity on Sundays. He went ahead to say "that is how these people survey the place for attack". Journalists sat there and didn't ask him if that is the case why is such attack rare. Journalists working for Channels TV sat through while he described Muslims as "littering the whole place" and he was not saying they put dirt in the place (who wan go put dirty for barrack), he was describing the presence of Muslims as littering the place. Not a word to correct him. This man claims a financer of Boko Haram was interrogated while Jonathan was in power. But today he is in Buhari's government. The question no one asked him was if he was culpable as you claim and it was a Christian that was President, why did you allow him go? Journalists who think journalism starts and end with accent sat through this contradiction and didn't flag it. But when he was asked a question and he attacked journalists, they became defensive. And this question also speaks to how the agbaya was only there to lie and promote his business with insinuations. He was asked a question and the presenter said these terrorists that they keep referring to as bandits. He went off on the media saying yes the media is part of the problem. Then he was told they were asking about the government calling them bandits and he goes yes government is doing it on purpose. I mean, it appeared like if you had said to him "it seem fela was also in on all these things you are saying" he would have involuntarily said "yes, Fela was in the know". This is the person you guys are taking seriously? Lastly, I am not clear on how suicide bombing and killing of Muslims is meant to Islamise Nigeria. I am not clear on how Buhari whose son marries an Emir's daughter and it was a festival of foolishness and dancing, can be said to want to Islamise Nigeria when he has not Islamise his family. Like I said before, na who dey sleep dem dey wake. When a person sets out to lie, knowing that there are enough foolish people to believe him, you can't really do much to change his plan.

Your earlier comment on Gumi defines you already as a religious bigot and extremist.
