| President Buhari Is Deceived: Nigeria's Unity Is Very Negotiable by OduduaDefender(op): 8:11pm On Aug 21, 2017 |
I woke up very early this morning eager to listen to the much publicised President Buhari's address to the nation, but little did I know that was what would wreck my whole day. As the President's address started, I was keenly following until I heard that statement I detest and abhor and hate to hear: "NIGERIA'S UNITY IS NOT NEGOTIABLE". What is not negotiable?? What is settled?? By who and who?? Is Nigeria the nations conquered by the Northerners and now enslaving the Southerners?? Whether these people likes it or not, our unity, if there was even any in the first place is VERY NEGOTIABLE. There is no sense in uniting by force. In fact, until we discus whether or not we want to be united as a country and under what conditions....T here can never be a UNITED NIGERIA, peace or development in the land. Nigeria should be for everybody not some group of people. Not only for the elites, not only for the politicians, presidency, legislators, not only for the religion leaders, not only for royal fathers, Emirs, Obas because these are the people that are benefiting from the suffering of the masses. There is no doubt that Nigeria's problems were created in the past but I'm always disappointed hearing the statement that "Nigeria's unity is not negotiable. There is no unity without fairness and justice. Nigeria and Social government are not fair to the masses! Moreover it's inhuman and unthinkable that leaders use the word not negotiable for a country made of different nations and tribes that were amalgamated (forced) together by colonialists.! A forced marriage won't have peace and won't last and it will scatter sooner or later by force and violence if you insist it's not negotiable To quote the words of renowned Nobel prize laureate Professor Wole Soyinka "the unity of any geographical entity is more than negotiable". What's not negotiable? is people's right to self determination not negotiable? Is people right to their resource control not negotiable? Is equality in the land not negotiable? You do not tell people not to secede and go their separate ways, give them reasons to stay with you and they will fight with their lives to be with you rather than fight to go away. Nigeria has no option than to oblige. Simply put, forced unity is slavery in itself that's why Nigeria strength militarily is located in the North. Sovereignty belongs to the people, Nigeria remains as negotiable as untied, unsigned and overt document. You can not force people together forever and the early we negotiate the better for all of us. Restructure now and renegotiate the existence or face the organized violence everywhere in the land sooner or later. So, President Muhammadu Buhari must know this, it must be drummed into his ear: Nigeria's unity is not only negotiable, but it will certainly be negotiated sooner or later. THANKS. |

I have a short story about a little revolution that occured during my secondary school days. There used to be a woman, teaches literature also doubles as the female hostel mistress and she was another version of Lady or is it Baroness Thatcher now. She was practically a nightmare to us students. At d mention of her name, heads must bow, bodies must tremble (no blasphemy). Fast forward to our social night, Thatchers pops out from nowhere, overrules our socials and so what happens next? Everywhere just descended into chaos. It all started like a miniature protest but in no time, whole premises exploded into full blown violence. Next thing, Lady Thatcher was a target where the tough and rascally guys, in a daring and audacious move went straight for her apartment at the girls hostel. Brought down under a hail of missiles being launched and thereafter went in to grab her but she had been ferried off to safety. Heaven knows what fate would've befell her that night. Kernel of this? This was a school filled mostly with ajebos, last thing anyone would've thought was a major showdown from the students but shit played up against everyone's wildest imagination. I liken Nigeria's situation to this. These stoopid dumbass politicians seem to regard Nigerians in same light. Surprises are certainly imminent for them. I hope they realize how real peoples anger are welling up before it gets too late for them |

Nigeria's unity may be settled, but the nature of the unity is very negotiable |

There was a time when Germans occupied France and killed their citizens the way Fulani troops have occupied Biafra territory and needlessly killed Biafrans. The French rallied around the immortal call of their ancestors written in their national anthem ( La Marseillaise) to never give in to tyranny. Only you can free yourself if you so decide. In like manner, the Biafrans should rally to the call of the French national anthem and arise against the Fulani oppressors. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laWIjgWDesE |
