Powerful Statement,yet Some groups in the South are content. by Milkyways(op): 3:44am On Nov 07, 2015
It was in celebration of this grand British bequest to the North, that the then Premier of Northern Nigeria, Sir Ahmadu Bello declared to his lieutenants in the week of Independence in 1960 that:
"THE NEW NATION CALLED NIGERIA SHOULD BE AN ESTATE OF OUR GREAT-GRANDFATHER, UTHMAN DAN FODIO. WE MUST RUTHLESSLY PREVENT A CHANGE OF POWER. WE USE THE MINORITIES OF THE NORTH AS WILLING TOOLS AND THE SOUTH AS CONQUERED TERRITORY AND NEVER ALLOW THEM TO RULE OVER US AND NEVER ALLOW THEM TO HAVE CONTROL OVER THEIR FUTURE" ~ Parrot Newspapers, 12th October, 1960.

Why are you bothered about the words of the dead? The one Adamu Ciroma, Your President Buhari and some other living northerners have said is even worse, yet one of them is president. Bothering yourself over a 1960 quote is totally irrelevant

What is your way out of a biased speech that is now rotten? Forward or backward? State your case and suggestions and if they are good, we shall follow you.
