But Paganism is idolatry;

Paganism is
satanism;

Paganism is evil;

Paganism is going against God;

According to Christians ,

Oh! wait, Christianity itself is Paganism!

Politics / Opinion: Should Nigeria Spilt Up? by nitch(m): 10:58am On Aug 31, 2011
By Yusuf Pappa Tomiwa

These thoughts have been
gathering at the back of my mind
for a while now. Like dust, they
haven’t exactly settled together in
a place but i’ve decided the dawn
of birth has set upon them.
Talk of Nigeria dividing/
separating whichever word best
describes ‘secession’ has been
ongoing long before i knew it’s
meaning and lately it’s been
ringing everywhere. In Mosques,
Churches, Schools, and even in
my small head. Initially, the
debate was on what would
divide the country fastest;
Tribalism or Religion? Now,
stemming from incessant
bombings by ‘You-know-who’ in
the North (mostly) all fingers
seem to be pointing towards the
religious perimeter.
Last Thursday (August 25th),
some ‘gun-men’ struck just about
25 minutes drive to where i was
then. They killed 4 Policemen, a
Soldier, several civilians and
robbed two notable banks. It
made the news, not just locally
because i later saw it on Yahoo
news. It was easily concluded to
have been the work of ‘You-
know-who’ judging by their
modus operandi. I shouldn’t
nauseate you with more gory
tales here but this isolated
incident got my brain-box in
overdrive. Questions came
flooding in naturally like
mosquitoes in rainy season.
Could it have been ‘You-know-
who?’, What was their overall
plan? Was it division? If yes,
along what parameters; religious
or tribal?
A lot of people are already
clamouring for separation
emphasizing that it’s the best
panacea for Nigeria’s problems. I
always disappoint most when I
disagree it’s not. Here’s what I
think;
* Nigeria is foremost a ‘political’
entity not a tribal or religious one
* Political entity translates into
‘united by politics’ which in
reality means ends, means,
resources etc or to be precise
crude ‘oil’ economics
* Tribalism and religion divides
rather than unites us as a people.
Incessant ethno-religious
conflicts in the country attests to
this fact (e.g perennial Jos crisis).
Even with Massob, Arewa, Omo
O’dua etc it is as glaring as day
that there’s still factionalism
within these groups and the
tribes they claim to represent.
* I also believe the same reason
Nigeria won’t split is part of why
NYSC hasn’t been scrapped. So, in
the event of separation (if it ever
were possible) by any tribe, i
foresee, division after separation,
followed by fragmentation and
then eventual dis-integration.
This leads me back to thoughts
of ‘You-know-who’ and their
elusive overall motive. At best,
their stated grievances/goals/
agenda are flimsy and untenable.
Their virulence seem to be
directed at ‘Western influence’
with emphasis on ‘Islami-sation’
of the country. I don’t doubt it’s a
bad idea but they should answer
this question first; Should we do
away with Western influence/
education but retain the bombs,
ammunitions, weaponry, and
motorcycles used by them in
their operations yet were
manufactured by Western
influence/education? I’m
waiting…
Seeing as their actions/activities
belie their ’cause’, i’ve arrived at
these ‘thoughts’ about them.
* I would like to think they are
copycats of MEND or arose from
the pursuits of similar interests
i.e recognition from FG.
* I also think secession is not the
overall goal (and i think choosing
this option would enrage them
further just like the strong arm
measures currently in place e.g
JTF)
* I think creating a ‘war
hysteria’ (condition of general
insecurity) had been part of the
plan all along.
* I think they are not as
ubiquitous and organised as
they make believe.
* I think ‘copy-cat miscreants’ are
thriving in the ‘war hysteria’
created by ‘You-know-who’. It’s a
mutual relationship beneficial to
both parties. (I still think last
Thursday’s incident and some
others before it were copy jobs
not ‘You-know-who’)
* I think the fact that FG’s not
giving them recognition, or
considering amnesty/official pay-
off for them but is doing/did the
same for MEND is part of what
irks them most.
* I think withdrawing the JTF
even temporarily would give a
clearer picture of what they want
and are really about.
* I think finding out why their
erstwhile leader was ‘silenced’
abruptly in custody would be a
good place to start getting
tangible results.
Invariably, these are just
conjectures/theories and i do not
claim to have the best
understanding of these issues
raised here, afterall, I’m just one
head in 162 million!

Considering the high level of insecurity of lives and properties across the country, am not sure this geographical expression known Nigeria would survive for another ten years.

Politics / Police To Employ Graduates, Change Uniform. by nitch(m): 3:13pm On Jul 25, 2011
Police will soon embark on the
recruitment of graduates of
higher institutions for better
policing system, the Minister of
Police Affairs, Navy Capt. Omoniyi
Olubolade (rtd), has promised.
Speaking at the weekend at the
palace of the Ewi of Ado-Ekiti,
Oba Rufus Adeyemo Adejugbe,
the minister also said police
uniform would soon be changed
as part of a general overhaul of
the force.
Olubolade, who described the
Nigerian policing system as
defective, said he would embark
on litany of restructurings to
reposition the force and make it
a pride to Nigeria.
Apart from being holistic, the
restructuring would be to
change the face of the Nigerian
police, which would include
overseas training, to make the
policeman proud.
He said the image of the police
would be redeemed under his
watch by ensuring that the men
of the force keep to the tenets of
best practices obtainable in
advanced climes.
The minister said the police
needed serious restructuring at
this crucial time when the Boko
Haram was posing a serious
threat to the security of Nigeria.
He expressed regret over the
damage the sect had done to the
corporate image of the country,
promising that all hands would
be on deck to nip the situation in
the bud.
He said it was now a sin for the
police to disclose the identities of
informants to the public,
admitting that this had been
hindering the performance of
the force.
He appealed to members of the
public to always volunteer useful
information in the interest of
peace.
Responding, Oba Adejugbe
hinged the rot in the police to
long years of military
interregnum in the country.
He accused past military regimes
of deliberately marginalising the
force due to perceived rivalry
between the police and the
military.
The monarch said: “The military
deliberately marginalised the
police for 25 years to suffer and
this I think caused the rot in the
police force. The military thought
if they should empower the
police, it would be a potent force
that can challenge them and this
they didn’t want.”
