Nigeria is an association of many 'nations' with different interpretations of what Nigeria is to them. Lord Luggard put dogs and cats in same cage and expected nothing but peace! Cat wants rat; dog wants bones. North wants power; South wants resources control and West hates violence but loves to rule. Sometimes, we want to put "question mark" where God put "full stop", we try to mend what God has already torn apart!
Much as I do not subscribe to the inflammatory comments being made by MEND warlord, Asari Dokubo, yet I don't disagree with him totally even though the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tambuwal and the House members have ordered the arrest of Asari and Kuku over their statements.
Buhari, Rufai and many others from the North made worse comments, backed up with actions (Boko Haram) nobody called for their heads. Have we forgotten Buhari's "BABOONS and DOGS" statement? Where were Tambuwal and his House members at the time?
The other time, President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan was in Maiduguri and bombs rained after he left but Buhari's APC crowd were there earlier and nothing happened. What does that suggest? It shows there's a link! Boko Haram picked same Buhari as a negotiator.
Well meaning Nigerians and the international community are watching.
Ken Saro Wiwa was condemned and hanged by Abacha while Mohammed Yusuf, Boko Haram leader was honoured and family compensated.
The Northerners controlled 83 per cent of the nation resources (oil) while they want death sentence for those they call South-South, South-East and South-West oil thieves. Kuku and Asari probably would be arrested and charged for treason as ordered by Tambuwal and the Arewas but Boko Haram and their Arewa accomplices, responsible for blood spilling are being BEGGED to accept AMNESTY on a platter of gold.
What a nation!
