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.
And I hate hate hate the way RCCG members try to feign ignorance about the reason their church is always getting called out. Virtually every pastor/deacon in politics is a member of your church, and you don’t think there’s something odd about that? Don’t piss me off.
A governor doesn’t donate to security apparatus in the state. State resources are being used to fund the most basic tenet of governance; the protection of lives and property.
Our language around governance is so interesting in Nigeria. We talk like when someone wins an election, the money and resources of the state become their personal largesse and any progress or work that happens is because they’re kind enough to “dash” us.
The southerners have spoken more about terrorism than the northerners who have been largely silent or abating them. The only vocal part in the “north” has been the middle belt.
Angus Cloud’s mother tells @TMZ her reaction to his appearance in the final episode of ‘Euphoria’:
“The massive public emotional outpouring on social media honoring my beloved son’s beautiful soul says everything.”
A 14yr old child was raped in a boarding school in Abuja and died from Sepsis because condom was left inside her for days.
The school has done everything to cover it up.
This happened in 2021 and till date no justice
