TIV vs FULANI MATTERS
Ortom is simply taking advantage of the high resentment that many ethnic groups have for the Fulanis who had attempted or conquered lands some 100+ years ago. From the borders of the NW (Caliphate) to the entrance of SW in the present day Ilorin.
2. To the Plateau province of the Jukuns/Tivs/Igalas.
Knowing conquest was how kingdoms grew world over, its pathetic Nigerian politicians keep exploiting those stories for selfish reasons when history also teaches that economic prosperity is what guarantees ethnic preservation
3. This prosperity is only possible by accessing markets far from one's land. This knowledge led to the formation of EU (common market), the bilateral treaties among Eurasia countries, North Atlantic Trade Organization NATO.
Let me explain how politicians are our biggest threat
4. Irrespective of the abundant mineral resources in virtually every state, Investors CAN NEVER go to communities that sees non indigenes as usurpers (remember the fight turned bloody Dangote's faced for Benue Cement Coy after acquiring it from BPE).
5. When states are analysed individually, the internal fights among the ethnic groups is too horrible to hear or for a rational mind to THINK of setting up any form of a multi million naira business except you are from that section of the state but how many ever do?
6. So while politicians use ethnic and religious rhetorics solely for power acquisition, investments are running away from their ''Kingdoms''. How then are they protecting or promoting their people's interest?
In the months to come, more of these Ortom's dramas will be all over.
7. The influential & activists who should speak prefer talking about Abuja that is far than the gov few miles away, while the locals enjoy revealing in a phantom feeling of ''Na our ancestral land'', lands worth pittance if not developed.
Economy power should override politics!
POLICE; BEYOND A NEW IG
In 2013 a total of 105 personnel of police & DSS were slaughtered in Nassarawa eggon while on an official duty, NO ONE WAS CHARGED. In the SE, police men are killed daily & no arrest is made. In Oct 2020, 40+ policemen were murdered no inquiries till date
2.Police station stinks like public toilets, no decent housing for them,they buy their uniforms & kits, even their training colleges looks more like concentration camps for psychopaths. Meanwhile this same police is the citizens' first line of defence against motivated criminals
3.The police psyche has been brutalised for decades & we act surprised at the Monsters they've become?
A functioning police force is beyond change of IG that is political. ITS A TOTAL REFORM FROM RECRUITMENT TO RETIREMENT
This is priority to hit the root of our security issues.
DELTA & IBORI LOOT
Delta state heading to the supreme court for the recovered loot is dead on arrival. Proofing the exact withdrawals that totals that £4.2m is harder than they know. Ibori's 8 years annual budgets would have to pass through forensic review in the first place.
2. The projects and their accounts where the funds where siphoned from and all the personnel who participated in both document approvals & fund disbursements will all have to come say their roles which will expose them for prosecution (Remember criminal case is not time bound).
These scenario is even assuming SC doesn't throw it out for lack of merit as Delta state wasn't a party to the case at all. The court doesn't grant a prayer not made.
This is hoping the AG of the state is experience enough not to waste funds pursuing a loot not ''missing''.
MAKING TRUMP A LEGEND
American elites have once again made those senseless decisions they've taken in the past decades among countries that has only made our planet more unsafe, only this time its at home. Everyone is taking a dump at Trump, but at what cost?
2. So some thousands entered congress, misbehaved & are being arrested on charges that takes only weeks or months in jail. But Trump is being vilified by both Parties & the Biz world. Forgetting that 74 million American voters are riding behind Trump, a group he did not create.
3. Trump only took advantage in 2016, something the pugilists never saw. Which was why the Hilary flop was spectacular. These 74m folks believe they've been cheated out of the presidency & the man who speaks for them is being hounded. Question is; Will they all just fizzle away?
DIKKO'S FORFEITURE
For those who know what went down during Dikko's years at custom, the returning of N1.5b is a major insult, that's money for the boys. Which is likely why the EFCC is insisting on continuing the prosecution throwing the plea bargain into the dustbin.
2. Dikko's quest for soft landing was what compromised Brig Gen Ja'faru Isa (rtd), Buhari's man for NSA job in 2015.
Mysterious import waivers, seized container rackets, auto rustling & all kinds of economic crimes all organised at the top.
All customs warehouses became malls.
3. So bad that when the present Sole Admin came on board & read out the riot act, 5 DCGs resigned in one day. Dikko boys were the elite squad who made things happen, personnel only watched as rules were set aside. By this act, Dikko may have open the door for full investigation.
PROSECUTING ENDSARS PLAYERS.
As a Kaduna bred, I've experienced all the riots that made the town a hotbed. From the Maitastine of 1982 to the Kafanchan of 87, Zango kataf of 92 & Sharia of 2000. After the crisis, govts set up investigative panels, who turns in reports later.
2. But not once was there even an attempt at implementing the recommendations of those panel or give justice to the victims by prosecuting those fingered. Similar attitude trails all uprisings in Nigeria, this helps to understand the LASG approach to handling the endears crisis.
3. Over the decades, Nigeria has made nonsense the truth of ''Cause & Effects'' in all spheres of our lives. People know they can get away with the most heinous crime if they play their ''cards'' right. Law & order are seen as suggestions and not the rule guiding the society.
PROGRESSIVES & TWITTER WAR.
The bird App is assumed to be for the well educated in the society but the trend in Naija twitter indicates contrary, more worrisome is how pedestrian issues are given high attention. And the main losers seem to be the progressives/ Buharists/ APCist.
2. For the months I've been fully active here, I observe that each time the progressives are gaining traction on any trending topic, all the opposition do is to introduce a diversionary topic & bingo,the rest of the time is spent on a useless matter. 3 examples will do for 2021;
3. A kid insulted Nigeria because he's gotten abroad. The defense for naija was resounding from all over, then ''they'' introduce the gains of migration to divert the issue. The original issue was travel to anywhere but don't curse ur homeland. So it ended without a clear win.
