Falana has started his nonsense again.

Where was SERAP when the sitting governor of Kebbi alongside his wife (Abacha cronies who were listed and in court papers in the US as conduits for the looted funds) filing orders in a US court laying personal claims for the same $500million loot?
Politics › Re: Kano Mass Wedding: Ganduje To Marry Off 1,520 Women by NuclearWinter: 6:11am On Feb 03, 2017
Kano has the highest divorce rate in Nigeria with also the most disturbing drug abuse pandemic in Nigeria involving young women.

So happens that young underage girls forced into early marriage end up divorced before they turn 20 all because their ex-husband wants to make room for another younger girl in their Islamic sanctioned harem. These young divorcees turn to drugs to deal with the scars of emotional and sexual abuse they suffered under their last marriage. Being a divorcee and most likely uneducated with a drug problem, these young girls end up as sex workers in order to eke a living and pay for their drug addiction.

8. The Idiots

The word idiot came down to us from the Romans who described individuals who were apolitical to the socio-political events of ancient Rome.

Politics › How The "One North" Facade Turned To "One Nijeriya" by NuclearWinter(op): 3:41pm On Jan 31, 2017
The mantra "one north" was first coined and reiterated by the late Sarduna of Sokoto, Ahmadu Bello.

Most of you will be forgiven to take Ahmadu's "one north" rhetoric to mean a one united north but that wasn't what Ahmadu Bello was pushing for with that statement.

Ahmadu Bello was staunchly against the British plan of partitioning the northern protectorate but that did not stop him from pushing for the partitioning of the southern protectorate along ethnic lines.

The north remains the most diverse region in Nigeria with more ethnic groups combined than the south, so the "one north" mantra was only being echoed by the likes of the Sarduna only with the considerations of the Hausa/Fulani elite agenda and not in any way meant to reflect the yearnings of the minority groups that criss-cross the northern landscape.

Only important factor leading to the "one north" agenda by the Hausa/Fulani Muslim class is the fact that the Sokoto Caliphate was still bent on renewing their Jihad once the British left.

Consider the original map of the Sokoto Caliphate to that of Northern Nigeria circa 1960 and you will see that apart from the Kanuri empire, Kogi, Benue, Taraba and parts of southern Adamawa, the Sokoto Caliphate was well intact during British colonial rule.

So while the southern protectorates allowed themselves to be further weakened by British partition, the Hausa/Fulani resisted any attempt to partition the north.

This will later serve the north well as the British will use landmass and a skewed censors to give northern Nigeria more sits in parliament than both the western and eastern regions combined thereby solidifying Hausa/Fulani political control of Nigeria.

From "One north" which serves only the Hausa/Fulani muslim agenda we ended up with "one Nijeriya" under the same Hausa/Fulani domination.
