You had a Christian as President
You had a muslim as Vice President
You established Sharia law in certain states under our democracy
It didn't improve the economic condition of your region
It scored you a bit of political popularity among your ignorant and religiously programmed supporters
We swallowed it
We said, "It is the North...Our siblings born with cerebral palsy...We have to cope with them as good people."
You started Boko Haram
Terrorised the entire country
Bombed markets, parks and buildings
Kidnapped school children in Chibok
Used the kidnapped children to force a change of government
Told us A muslim president is the best option to get rid of insecurity
We bought it
We said, "It is the North... Our siblings born with Down syndrome...We have to wipe their asses and blow their noses as a caring people"
You have a Muslim as President
You have a Muslim as Vice President
You formed bands of badits all over the country
With Tiktok and other social media handles for flex
You kidnap people with reckless abandon and slaughter them for fun
You kidnapped school children and demanded ransom which included the adoption of Sharia in OYO state
We are saying again that "It is the North, our brothers born with mental illness...."
It is not the North
it is Islam!
That religion is a virus that affects the programming of people's minds and encourage them to kill, steal and destroy
If it is a political problem, Nigeria should be experiencing Peace like a river at the moment because you have a muslim-muslim dominated government
It is not political
It is a disease
It is Islam, it is a disease like rabies
It drives some of those who embrace it mad
We should stop making excuses and playing ostrich
We should call a spade, a spade
The problem is Islam; it is driving some of its adherents mad
Those who have a cure for it should bring it out
If they don't, we may have to put the mad dog down
And distance ourselves from our brother who is setting the house on fire while we are all asleep in it.
The problem is Islam!

Actually, most times, vox populi does not vox Dei. And that's something we should be grateful for—me, you, and that person you're cheating on your partner with 😏
Lol there will be no revisionism.
The truth is that the smoke reached the South b/c the North refused to put out the fire. We don't get to look down South & smirk, "it's finally happening to you,"to say that requires a level of blindness we can no longer afford.
The Northern establishment spent yrs coddling this crisis. How many people even admitted there was a "Northern problem" in the first place? For a long time, the strategy wasn't to confront the rot, but to mask it under the guise of political correctness & regional solidarity using religion as a mesh.
There's no form of insecurity in the North that didn’t find a significant Northern bloc of politicians, clerics, & natives defending, justifying, and supporting it. We literally watched active, decisive attempts at destroying Boko Haram get sabotaged from within under the banner of "you're killing our brothers."
Ironically, Southerners were often some of the most vocal voices sounding the alarm against Northern insecurity. They understood a fundamental truth that our leadership chose to ignore : you cannot be part of a single body & watch a limb rot with gangrene, expecting the rest of the organs to stay safe. Eventually, the sepsis spreads to the heart. We are in "SIRS" now.
The Northern elite silenced the alarms and coddled the arsonists. We are not going to pretend even for one second about this reality because if we do, we will not find any way forward.
His name is Nuru Aliyu Garwa, a former Senior Special Adviser on Community Development, pls note that, on Community Development to the Katsina State Governor.
He recently resigned in order to contest in the House of Assembly to represent his people.
On May 13th, an eight year old boy was abducted while coming home from a Quranic School, his family were contacted and a ransom of 50 million was requested by the bandits or kidnappers.
The price was negotiated and brought down to 17 Million which was paid. After this, the family reached out to a security outfit known as Violent Crime Response Unit in Katsina State.
The Unit swung into action and started their investigation. The investigation led to the arrest of 6 of the bandits on the 23rd of May.
This arrest of the six led to the arrest of the other member and boss, Nuru Aliyu Garwa, the former SSA on Community Development to the Governor on the 24th of May.
In his house they found 7.5 million in a Ghana must go bag which the Security Unit believed is his own share of the ransom, they also found the bike used in operations and some other items.
However, investigations still ongoing.
A woman who was among those kidnapped from Ariko village during their Easter church service has given birth to a child in the bandits' camp. Remember, women, little children, and some men have now been in captivity for 58 days. However, this woman gave birth a week ago. A woman who emerged from the camp after trekking for 3 days in the bush said the birth was difficult because the pregnant woman, like others in the camp, was malnourished.
According to her, the pregnant woman was ill when labour began, but with the help of other women experienced in traditional birth, they managed to help her give birth. She said the women pooled bits and pieces of their clothes that hadn't been washed since they arrived and wrapped the child.
When the bandits refused to give them anything sharp to cut the umbilical cord, after about an hour, a woman, out of desperation, used her teeth to cut it. Later, they pleaded for water to clean the child and the mother, but the bandits refused, saying they wouldn't waste water on a child who wouldn't survive. They wanted to go to a nearby stream to wash the child, but the bandit said no.
They also pleaded with the bandits to release the women so she could go home with the baby, but the bandits refused. The next problem was that the mother's breasts had no milk, as nothing came out because she was so malnourished. A while later, the child began to suck the little that started to come. Hours later, they were still pleading for water to wash the child and the mother when it began to rain.
The woman said they resorted to wetting a cloth in the rain and using it to wipe the child. She said the child was still alive five days later when she came out, though part of the umbilical cord attached to the navel had not yet fallen off.
She described acute hunger and pus-filled rashes covering most of their skin, especially the children's. She described little children and the women with heads full of lice. She spoke of how young children in the camp are persuaded to drink large amounts of river water just to fill their bellies and reduce hunger. She spoke of how the bandits will lead women into the bush to forage for leaves, which they boil and eat. She spoke of a time when they went 5 days without anything to eat except boiled leaves and water.
She spoke of how the men are always chained with bicycle chains. She said that sometimes the bandits lead some men into the bush to pluck mangoes, which are then shared out as meals. She spoke of taking a bath only every 7 or 10 days. She said the bandits would escort women and men, in batches, to bathe in the river and then watch them, especially the women, while they bathe naked.
She said other sensitive things that can’t be mentioned, but please include them in your prayers.
