Make una share the country

So is that why they military can't contain them? And a whole CDS have the guts to rehearse it again in the hearing of a nation beleaguered by the atrocious and treasonable activities of these killers?

This man is one of the rarest Army chief i have ever seen in my entire life in Nigeria. He's so intelligent, straight honest and doesn't sugarcoat any to suit anybody.

This man should be protected by all means for the future of Nigeria better leadership.

Na today una just dey know this one?

WizardOfNG:
Simple. Only redundant and self-delusional thinkers believe one man being President, however talented, can turn Nigeria into Dubai overnight.

We are very different people, with completely unalignable differences and ways of life, that will never be reconcilable.

This means we will always be enemies of each other's progress because we want starkly contrasting and very different things.

Those who want State-sponsored welfarism will do all in their power, when in charge of the Presidency, to frustrate others who believe in private sector-led and innovative/competitive free market democracy.

Those who want religion to dominate statecraft will endorse such when controlling the Presidency to the detriment of those who value secularity in national administration.

Clue to the above is how it was the North most vocally supportive of the effort of some misguided Yorubas to establish Sharia Court in Oyo.

See below to note it was Sultan of Sokoto passionately backing the establishment of Sharia Court in Oyo and Ekiti. What would such a character do if President other than enforce it and then destroy forever the exemplary religious tolerance , from time immemorial, Yorubas have been praised for globally?


https://guardian.ng/news/sultan-backs-sharia-law-in-oyo-ekiti/#google_vignette



According to the Sultan, it is "spate of intolerance and disregard for the rights of Muslim" yet he does not have the humility to accept Yorubas in the majority, Moslems and Christians, do not want not want Sharia Court because we are happy with the status quo we worked hard to establish.


The best thing that can happen is for Nigerians to accept they are very different and thus want different things.

After that we must unitedly reject "One Nigeria' fraud we use to decieve ourselves because such only benefit the elite and ruling class raping the centre to the detriment of ordinary Nigerians.

Next move, if Nigerians in general are discerning and truly seeking progress , should then be uncompromising agitation for us all to go our seperate way per the bolded in your post.

Nigeria, as currently convened, is destined to fail and worsen.

..this your mindset is thesame one which has kept the geographical expression in total comatose...that the öne you stood on his mandate is unable to solve the insecurity ravaging the country..does not mean no other government will..

..pls desist from projecting the image of Apcish under Tilumbu & previously under your darling daddy into any future government with capacity & integrity to deliver the expression from terrorists..

..here is one appointee of your messiah echoing incompetence, cluelessness & you are on your Laptop defending his failures..

..Do you understand that this insecurity took a new turn after Apcish snatched..this mentality of thinking that a cow is great than a human is just a decoy to give the terrorists more reasonnto continue there rampage..

..imagine terrorists hearing such from a high Army Chief..

Well written

But you clearly are ignorant on the sharia matter.
Many south west Muslims are not finding social happiness because they are forced under a Christian marriage act, there are no Sharia panels to adjudicate on matter like marriage for them
The right thing is to allow them have a sharia panel as enshrined in their religion to adjudicate in cases that require their rulings.

Many Christians because they don't really understand Islam don't know they are denying Muslims their right by being opposed to things. Like this that a Muslim needs to achieve spiritual fulfillment .

We understand islam. You guys want us to PRETEND that we don't understand islam. Give them an inch, they take the whole territory. We all saw Buhari as president. That is islam in the driving seat. Horror for non muslims. El rufai was also eloquent: in Zamfara he gave a speech on how he has brought peace to Kaduna state, and now no Christian can hold any significant position in Kaduna. It won't matter if you have merit. THIS IS WHAT WE SHOULD BE REJOICING OVER?

WizardOfNG:
Bro, stop right there. You are the ignorant one, unexposed to boot also, per your argument over Sharia. I am deliberate in talk and hardly ever ignorant regarding issues I speak about.

Nigeria is a secular Nation that should operate under common law from when we became a federal republic and henceforth. It is as simple as that.

That was how it was and It was only OBJ's political capitulation that allowed Sharia to be initially and formally introduced in Zamfara circa 1999 leading to more States of the North adopting it.

Look at the reality of Turkey, below , viewed an Islamic nation. They understand the need, with a modern nation that wishes to succeed, for all citizens to live under common law to discourage disunity, religious unrest, seditious incitement and potential disrespect for the laws of the land as we are seeing ruining the North today where Nigeria, as a nation, wants her children educated while some extremist decree "Boko Haram" i.e western education is forbidden.

How many progressive and developed nation of the world have you been to or lived in? I was born in one and lived there majority of my life. There is no mainstream nation of the world I have not visited in Europe, North America and even Asia where I holidayed in Tokyo for two weeks.

I see what obtains everywhere, contributory to their success, that only highlights how regrettably backwards and self-destructive Nigeria and Nigerians are.

Nothing like Sharia in the UK and never will be because a land must operate under one legal and court system. If Moslem in Britain insist on living under Sharia then they can relocate to strict Islamic nations like Afghanistan or Iran.

You cannot punish any Briton under Sharia openly because British laws takes precedence as should be the case with Nigeria. In Britain there are no formal Sharia courts of law with the authority to issue legally binding judgement.

Your talk proves precisely why nations like Britain, though hosting people of different race, ethnicity and religious worship, succeed whereas Nigeria has gone backwards and is today drowning in terrorism, fundamentalism and violence/killings driven by hatred and intolerance for others and their religion.

A nation is defined by its people. Saying nigeria is one nation is delusional because the hearts and mind of the people are not together hence the civil wars in various parts of the country. Currently, Britain is not succeeding partly due to the internal friction caused by immigration. Indeed if Britain continue this path of hosting people of different minds it wont take long before they start multiple civil wars just like Nigeria. The Islamist havent got the power they need yet, once they get it you will see it. Those knife stabbings church burnings and rapes are just a tip of the iceberg.

WHAT DOES NIGERIA MEAN TO YOU?

Nigeria is simply a geographical expression of the imperialists’ greed and spite.


Recently, I was on a flight from Dallas to London when I struck an interesting conversation with an American professor of African history. We talked about the human race and countries.

America, he said was named after an Italian explorer called Amerigo Vespucci. Amerigo was known to denote his discovered land a “ New World”. So long after her independence, the New World appropriated quite well with the dream of all Americans.

“What about Nigeria”? He asked me.

“Flora Shaw Lugard coined Nigeria and her inspiration was the river Niger” I replied.

“Wrong”. The historian responded. “Republic of Niger was named after River Niger not Nigeria”. That’s what white historians want you to believe. I don’t understand the gullibility of blacks. You have so much information but chose not to research but dwell and believe all the white man says” he added.

Nigeria simply means “The Nigger Area” or “Land of the Black slaves”. Nigger was a common derogatory slang used for slaves” He bluntly said.

His words hit my heart sharply and I was grateful the cabin lights were dim so he couldn’t see the expression on my face. It was a night flight; we had 9 more hours to our destination so I had all the time to listen. Sipping slowly on my orange juice I beckoned on him to continue.

The West African Region identified as Nigeria today was known to have supplied more slaves than any other country. The quality of human “cargo” was supreme and priced much more than slaves from other West African countries.

The men were strongly built and were expert cotton farmers. Only wealthy plantation owners could afford slaves from “Nigeria”. Little wonder, slaves from your country were nicknamed “black gold” and the British slave ship named “White Lion” brought them into Virginia.

“I am still not convinced” I shot at the grey bearded historian.

“Very well, lets start this way” he continued…

What gave River Niger its name?

I looked blankly at him…

It’s the European Slave traders and done for easy mappings. That river was the longest cutting across many black lands. River Niger simply means the River of Niggers or Negroes as you wish to say.

Listen dear Natasha, you must have an open mind to first agree that most of what you were taught in Nigerian history is distorted and made to confuse the people.

I said nothing… and he kept on talking.

The imperialists were very brutal with no humane sentiments to Africa. Their business was simply to exploit and trade for their advantage. The Berlin Conference of 1885 legalized Africa as distant colonies to the imperialists.

Most African countries were named by what suited the “masters”.

Ghana was named Gold Coast because the abundance of gold Britain exploited.

Zimbabwe was named Rhodesia by Mr. Cecil Rhodes who treated the country like his company.

Oh, lastly he added… the oil colony of the Niger Delta part of Nigeria was called the Slave Coast.

It was so when Asaba was the capital of the Southern Protectorate under the ownership of Sir. George Goldie the founder of the Royal Niger Company which had its headquarters in Lokoja.

Natasha, I hope you know that Sir. Goldie sold the Southern Nigeria protectorate (land and people) to the British Government for £865,000 (eight hundred and sixty five thousand pounds) in the year 1899.

“Finally, finally” he added… “there was a debate on whether to name your country Negroland or Nigritia as you were the most populated black nation. However, those on Nigritia won and the word was added in the Century Dictionary in 1904 to mean a large territory of niggers/ negros”.

Thanks for your “lecture” I said.

Listen, I am sorry if I upset you but your country is greatly admired world wide for its great resources especially its people. What happened to them is distortion of facts to enable indirect rule function at the detrimental discord of its people.

All Nigerian people need do is reach out to their core and harness a common vision which can bring forth the missing patriotism. You guys will be a world power in no time with your fire and potentials. But first…

- reach your core
- find your truth
- build your nation

Hints: Ask for the Southern and Northern amalgamation contracts. These should be made public for all Nigerians to know. Get to know what terms Nigeria was married upon.

I know the Royal Niger Company was given some dubious rights to half of all mining revenue for 99 years from 1900.

These documents should be with the British government, United African Company and Leventis companies as there were parented from the Royal Nigeria Company. That’s if they are missing at your government’s administration.

That’s right… UAC and Leventis are owned by ex slave traders and still grow their empires in Britain.

“Thanks once again dear sir. I need to get to my seat for some sleep”. I appreciated.

Just as I got to my seat, we hit turbulence and the seatbelt sign came on.

The plane shook violently, my mind went to late Pius Adesanmi and I made a silent prayer for him.

I took a look at the live travel map that showed we were flying above the “Natashquan River” in Canada.

What? A river bearing a similarity with my name sounding like “ Natasha Can”.

Maybe this is some sort of a sign that I should not let this experience go but research more and share with you.

So I arrived Nigeria and began to research deeply; bearing in mind the professor warned that not all books are published online as some information are preserved for the “discerning” minds.

I searched up the Century Dictionary, the Slave ship named “White Lion”, Flora Shaw and the naming of Nigeria (what a story), the naming of the Republic of Niger; the Slave Coast of Niger Delta, Sir Goldie, Royal Niger Company, History of UAC & Leventis… the amalgamation contract.

Wait a second… I searched for the 1914 Nigeria Amalgamation contract and found no answer. We know the English men to be high on documentations and record keeping so where are the amalgamation papers?

Who signed on behalf of Nigeria?

- Awolowo was born in 1909 and was 5 years at 1914
- Azikiwe was born in 1904 and was 10 at 1914
- Balewa was born in 1912 and was 2 years old at 1914
- Ahmadu Bello was born in 1910 and was 4 at 1914

Moving on.

It’s clear that the formation and naming of our beloved country is shrewd in dubious inconsiderable dealings. Little wonder we have become strangers filled with ethnic bitterness hanging unto the foreign man’s religion, government and education.

We are lost… but we can find our bearing if we begin not only to have discussions about our existence but take proactive remedial steps.

Some would shove this off as “mere history”. However, remember the proverb “a river that forgets its source runs dry”.

2019 elections may have come and gone. A lot of cases hope for redemption at the tribunal. But I say this, its not over yet. We all can put voices demanding for disclosures of amalgamation and naming contents. However, legislative and executive power matters in quickening the processes.

The Kogi governorship election comes up later in the year. Going through history, you shall see the possibilities of a New World being born from Kogi state.

Its possible to get a governor who would begin discussions towards a willing coalition of regions.

Until then, Nigeria is just a name given to a lucrative land for colonial exploits … a land of strong black negros… a land which bears the poverty capital of the world… a land afraid to be great. A land which feels it doesn’t deserve to be industrialized, educated, healthy and wealthy.

What’s in a name they say?

EVERYTHING!!!

Part 2 shall be up tomorrow.

He isn't wrong, they value cows more than humans.

We Yorubas don't have problem with that, Igbos are our problem

I don't blame Fulani but Nigerian people, if you have same mentality Israel have, no single Fulani will remain in Nigeria. But instead, Nigerians will go to church and start praying

I don't get you @bolded. As in, Muslim Yorubas are forced to do their marriages in churches or what? It seems many Muslims are so illiterate (no matter their level of education) that they confuse secularism with Christianity. So, any law that is not their blood shedding, arm cutting, stone throwing and human burning sharia is a Christian law to them.

madridguy:
It is not about Fulani alone, every one of us value what gives us money.

The car dealers will do anything to you if you try to steal his car.

Farmers put juju or some even put poisons on their farm produce for thieves disturbing them.

Banks protect their strong room with everything in their power.

Housewives protects their kitchens against any invaders

Since we all know how dearly cows are to the Fulanis, why not force them to buy lands for their cows. Let them have fence, CCTV cameras and electrics wire to protect their farm instead of rearing them around and using their cows to cause havoc on farm lands.

.... Dem don release u from your cage

This statement could incite hatred and voilence even though is somehow hold true to many fulani herders. Some even go to the extent of bearing names that shows how they value cows more than humans particularly Hausa ppl. There was one bandit nicknamed “ Dan Inna Kahon Saniya kehi Bahause” meaning ” horn of a cow has more value hausa man” Another bandit bears “ Dan Dari biyar” ie “ he value 500 Naira more than human life“.
Fulani man will go to the end of the world for his cows. Some how some criminal elements began to stalk the herders in the bush and forcefully take away their cow with no compensation. This the begining of fulani decision to wield Aks to protect their livestock. And still got arrested for carrying weapons without lisence. And got thrown into prisons.
After the cows are gone then they have nothing to loose coupled with lack of education or civility, perfect recipe for disaster and voilence.

Lift your hand against any of them or their cows for encroaching on your land and you'll see the whole govt come for you and prosecute you, because na their cows get right pass you, wetin don happen don happen, too late to shout now.

Which cage they put you before?

Brendaniel:
Then why are you people not supportig Igbos with to separate? why do you people hate MNK?

You people are one side fighting the people who want a separate country and here you are saying you want a separate country, look at the double mouth, if you hate Biafra and MNK then you are not serious about having separate country...

How many times must you people be told that, because of Azikiwe, secession is outlawed and an act of treason according to the Nigerian constitution?

Where Yorubas are different to you people is that we are law-abiding, work with reality and are cognisant of the saying "insanity is doing the same thing over and over to expect a different outcome".

If you know and understand that secession is outlawed by our Constitution, as Yorubas know and accept, then whey continue pursuing it under lawless and anarchic individuals like Kanu, Ekpa etal when it is only a change in our constitution, enacted by our legislators, that will grant you Biafra?

Why not support the option of regional autonomy, which is more or less the Biafra you seek in all but name?

We have hosted regional autonomy before to note it will be fairly feasible to achieve unlike the secession you tout that frightens the daylight out of Northerners because , naturally, they feel unprepared for the balkanisation of Nigeria.

Yet you people keep talking and acting self-destructively following your dead-on-arrival MASSOB, IPOB etal route, from time immemorial, and closing your minds to the viable option of regional autonomy as an acceptable alternative to secession.

See, you guys are not smart or emotionally intelligent. You don't understand how to be circumspect and think pragmatically and that is why many of you here on Nairaland daily touting the totally wrong claim that "Yorubas don't want us to leave".

By staying in their land the most, of the major ethnic groups and developing cultures and way of life other Nigerians migrate to the SW to enjoy, does this not prove beyond doubt Yorubas are best placed to succeed if on their own?

Does that not show, of the major ethnic groups, it is Yorubas that need others least if everyone has to answer their father's name?

Is it Yorubas trading across Nigeria, as you Igbos do, to the extent the SW will flatline, as the SE would, if those Yoruba traders no longer have access to the markets outside the SW, as would be the case for SE traders, if Nigeria is balkanised?

You guys don't think before you talk and you don't introspect before you agitate for secession due to your innate disposition for blaming others for all your woes.

Yorubas understand that regional autonomy allows everyone to enjoy what is good and advantageous about Nigeria, our large population and market for example, while regions can still enjoy self-paced progress unimpeded by 'One Nigeria' retrogression.

If you Igbo's noise of Biafra is not fraudulent and insincere, masking a hidden agenda, then why continue redundant secession grandstanding when you should be agitating for achievable regional autonomy that will give you freedom over your affairs in the SE similar to what you'd have of a separate nation?

Vitally, under regional system of governance, your people, traders by nature, would still maintain amicable trading relationship across Nigeria as would be near impossible to do if you had a separate Biafra nation.


Crystal clear you guys are not sincere and not progressive whereas the Yorubas are.

Brendaniel:
Then why are you people not supportig Igbos with to separate? why do you people hate MNK?

You people are one side fighting the people who want a separate country and here you are saying you want a separate country, look at the double mouth, if you hate Biafra and MNK then you are not serious about having separate country...

When June 12 was annulled, did you support the Yorubas to chase out the military and handover to a Yoruba? Why do you need anyone to support you if you're not cowards. Why do people hate Kanu? So, someone that asked Lagos to be destroyed and Yoruba properties be burned should be showered with flowers, right? Do you people think before you talk?

We can never be the same people, we are too difference in mentalities. Let the northerners live with their shariah and cows and let us be in the SW, SE, SS. O ga ooo.

Nukilia:
Break the country into regions with regional ministers.

Smart! Six regions with greater autonomy!

That's how the farmer values his crops than Fulani cows. The reason the Fulani herdsmen aren't backing down is because the farmers are not using same brute force on the Fulanis. If this were to be the case, Fulani man for those know how far he can wander with his cows.

Truth is sacrosanct, but here, truth is relative and can't be expressed. Let us continue with falsehood. All I can say is protect yourself.

Brendaniel:
I don't want to share country with people like you, go and have your own country, must you share country with me?

Why are you people scared of having your own country?

You lot love foooooling yourselves thinking you're fooooooling others. You deveropers are actually the ones scared of Nigeria breaking, because as traders, you need the huge market in Nigeria for your (majorly fake) products. No amount of projecting your fears on others can help you mask that fear. All this noise about "allow us go" is not foooooling anyone. It is clear any time moves are made for any form of autonomy in Nigeria. It's you deveropers that will kick against it. You say you guys are the strongest and most intelligent tribe in Africa (your typical self-delusion), so you shouldn't wait for others to allow you go or support you to go. You should fight for it. Lolz. Everyone (apart from you lot) knows that you don't have that capacity. Such a thing involves planning, but the strong urge to chestbeat will scuttle any plans before it even gets started.

It's not a new fact!

fuckingAyaya:
Oga get ready to be shown the door. I know you're a Christian with empathy but this country hates those that speak the truth

That is the crude reality and truth. I remember when we went for a burial in a village and then i saw a fulani woman backing a fowl with her wrapper around the fowl in her back like a baby while holding her small child on her way to the market, i couldn't believe my eyes.

Bayo Onanuga ,The DSS, Police are only interested in prosecuting Sowore , but those causing insecurity in Nigeria are given awards
