You said it all. Some of these Northern elites deliberately stoked and sponsored terrorism in their region, not just for security votes but also on religious and highly political grounds.

Mohammed Yusuf, the founder of Boko Haram, was sponsored and backed by some Northern elites to destabilize a non-Northerner's administration and to resist Western education, just so Shari'ah can gain recognition. Buhari was one of the most vocal clowns who supported the propagation of Islam and Sharia'ah through the Boko Haram sect.

First, it was the killing of Southern Kaduna folks just because they chose a different faith and perhaps resisted El rufai during the guber. Then seeing that Boko Haram had kept our military boxed, they found a need to invent a mobile militia that would move around the country and wreck havoc for expansion sake.

The irony of it all is that Buhari was voted by some based on his antecedent with the Maitatsine uprising. Today, not only has he failed but has also turned the once-powerful Nigeria Army that was the cynosure of West Africa; the same that wrestled South Africa from bondage into a boy scout group. Our soldiers are not only poorly treated but under-equipped to tackle the insurgent head-on.

Chadian soldiers now command more respect than the Nigeria Army while crime has become hydr-headed more than ever. We judged wrong. Sinzu money is not interested in the welfare of Nigerians other than borrowing money from the IMF and World Bank or take to begging on Twitter.

Some key Northern players are greatly profiting from the chaos in the North and the only way to curb it in the South is to put up regional security outfits to defend themselves because Buhari's scorecard has shown that he is a failure, most importantly on security.[/quote]
