What Is The Way Forward In View Of What Is Happening In The North? by proeast(m): 10:03am On Jun 20, 2020 |
For over ten years now, the North has been battling with serious crises of civil war proportions. What started in Borno state as insurgency has snowballed into a two-pronged conflagration i.e. fulani herdsmen and Boko Haram that is decimating the region like wildfire. At the last count, almost the entire NE and most parts of NW and NC are now recording deaths and destruction on a daily basis and there seems to be no end in sight. GEJ was accused of having an antinorth agenda and when his former chief army staff in the person of Ihejirika began to make serious headway against Boko Haram, the same people at the receiving end of the crises mounted a campaign of calumny against him that he was killing their people, and he was removed. At the moment, the federal government is spending billions of dollars in the so-called fight against insurgency, monies that would have been used in building roads, schools, hospitals and other sectors. To make matters worse, even the few arms and ammunition that are bought with what is left after embezzlement, would still end up either stolen or destroyed by Boko Haram and the circle continues. I was shocked the other day to discover that many countries with little population including some African countries have bigger budgets than Nigeria yet a huge percentage of our small budget still goes into a phantom war without end against insurgency. Nigeria is currently so backward that even by African standards, we are way behind. Look at our schools and colleges, hospitals, roads just name it and compare them with what is obtainable in other African countries like South Africa, Ghana, Egypt, Kenya, Rwanda, Morocco, Botswana etc. We all should be ashamed of our situation and hopeless future. Are we going to remain docile instead of taking our destiny into our own hands? Are we going to continue fighting one another while the rest of the world leaves us behind? Our population is estimated to be 200 million today and is growing rapidly while our national income keeps depreciating. We have now resorted to using borrowed loans to be financing our budgets that are largely recurrent, so what will happen to us in say 5 to 10 or 20 years from now? If you are from Southern Nigeria and you are not seriously bothered at what is going on, then you are definitely living in a fool's paradise. My people, winter is coming. So, what do we do to save our ourselves and future generations?? 3 Likes 2 Shares |

proeast: The North cannot be saved, they have long passed that point. A combination of feudal mindset, Islamic fundamentalism and backwardness has rendered that area an eternal war zone. So those in the south must face the decision. Do you want to be in the same country with those who will forever drag you down or do you seek a seperate country where you can develop your self without such distractions? This is a question people like Ojukwu, Nnamdi Kanu, Ralph Uwazurike and others asked themselves and reached a decision on many years ago. Remarkably, it is those in the South that will still join the North to fight these men so that the entire south can be dragged down with the North 12 Likes 1 Share |

gartamanta: I do agree with you that the North can't be saved now. Trying to do so would take so many years and trillions of dollars which we just can't afford. Official data states that there are over 10 million out of school children roaming the streets (although the actual number is obviously way higher) and when we factor in that millions of such idle children that lacked love while growing up, had no education, had no skill and had no future had been growing into adults over the years then how do we expect peace and prosperity? How do we expect Boko Haram to end when they have an endless pool to draw supplies from? The situation has really become critical and something needs to be done right now! 1 Like |

The north main problems are the Islamic mullahs who daily bombard their mosques with Hate speech against non muslims what they termed 'Preaching'. This hate is eternally engraved in the hearts of little ones to the future with ''we vs them'' mentality!! This is the mystery of Islam killing the world and our North 2 Likes |

helinues: That should not be your concern. Your concern should be how much of our common wealth that is being wasted in fighting useless and unending war in a part of the country that contributes nothing to national coffer. North East is useless to Nigeria, why is the country wasting billions there in the of fighting terrorism when almost all the federal roads in the South are dilapidated and unmotorable. 1 Like |

The way forward is for the UN to remove North East and North West and form another country. The more you try to tell yourself that one Nigeria is possible, the more you realise you're living in denial. These attacks are no longer ordinary. And the more we keep having these attacks, the more backward this country will be cos no investor will want to come and invest in a war zone. Break this country already 1 Like 1 Share |

Break this country, Break it!!! Break it!!!! Hausa and Fulani people don't really care about Development, They don't care if they are backward, They are happy as long as it's Hausa ruling nigeria even if the president ain't doing nothing!! One nigeria can't work, Igbos have to go, Yoruba have to go, Hausas have go, It just can't work!!!! This country would have been so great if Hausa Think like the Muslims in Dubai, But no, They only care about religion, Billions was wasted by one governor in the north recently to build a mosque, when this same money could have been invested in Building a company that will fetch money for the Citizen and atleast reduce poverty I'm tired, We really need to split up!!, It just can't work, Hausas and Fulanis are allergic to Development, But we in the southern Nigeria are not Oduduwa Republic and Biafra needs to work together now and fight for their Freedom Hausa don't really care, They're okay with the poverty ravaging their lands, look at Hausa and Fulanis dominated countries for instance like Niger republic and Chad, They are also so backward, and Poverty stricken We need to go Go oduduwa Go Biafra We want Freedom!!! 2 Likes 1 Share
