Political hacks, no matter the party affiliation, are folks are avoid here by all means. Those for whom their parties & politicians are never wrong and those on the other side are never right; always so vile; can't ever have a sensible debate with them because all they do is..
.. repeat WhatsApp group talking points & what their party overlords (who are often as dumb as bricks as they are, just with more Twitter followers). The painful part is that these guys hardly (maybe never) amount to anything. Living off scraps but thinking they have made it.
I'm all for people, esp young ppl joining the parties of their choice. Infact, the more achieving (or likely to achieve) in their professional careers, the better. But you see the ones I described above? Total waste.
Even if you want to be a political party or a politician's voltron, at least make e reflect for your life. But how do you act a fool publicly all the time and yet look like the very definition of suffering?
Tueh! Abomination.

What's happening in Billiri is the fruit of seeds planted since British colonial rule with regards to traditional rulerships in the North:
Creating emirates in Christian-majority areas (e.g Uba in Borno, Jema'a in KD) or where there is no clear religious majority (e.g Mubi)
In some places, traditional emirates were expanded to include areas they didn't before (e.g Biu to cover Buraland & Teraland). In places like Billiri, the first Mai until the one before the recently deceased were Muslim despite the area being predominantly Christian
TheJema'a emirate used to cover all of Southern Kaduna until the 1991 Zangon-Kataf crisis that chiefdoms were created for the many ethnic groups in the area as this was a remote cause of the crisis, with decades of resentment built up over a Fulani Muslim emir ruling over them.

This thing some feminists do where they call women who don't hold the same progressive views on gender relations 'pick-me' is quite short-sighted & erroneously assumes that these women hold these views solely for the approval of men.
On the contrary, it is mostly because this is all they have known & have likely seen around them. Ppl don't let go of ideas & beliefs that have been passed down millennia in an instant.
So yes, you have unlearned your own patriarchal beliefs & you are now fighting for women's/gender equality - but not every woman has done same. It is not by arrogantly calling such women 'pick-mes' that their own views will evolve to be like yours.

There is a reason why it took the formation of APC by the merger of 3 regional parties for PDP to have a worthy challenger at the Federal level: national structure.
Without a national structure, it is almost impossible to win the presidency. Does your party have presence in every state, local govt & ward? This matters greatly: it is not by road shows in some states & TV appearances.
If we were in a parliamentary system, smaller parties have a chance of challenging the dominance of the bigger ones by simply denying them the number of seats to form a govt & forcing them into coalitions.
