Dear Northern Nigeria,
The challenges bedevilling the North is a historical jigsaw comprising the consequent hegemonic ambitions of a few. Let us examine ourselves, as regional or religious leaders, as administrators or Technocrats, sons & daughters of the North.

In fitting this the jigsaw together, ofcourse looking at the complexity of the social & security challenges holding us by our necks, talking alone cannot see us through, we need actions that have what it takes to take us through a successful ride. The issue of us having problem
is not even contested by anyone. The contestable issue is, who do we turn to? And what do we do?
The art of apportioning blame is the easiest thing to do. I can simply wake up & say, Mr. A is responsible, or Malam B, or Chief C for the rot in our society. It is that easy.

But Messeurs A, B or C won't just be allowed to be pulled down the drain that easy. They also will argue that they're not responsible for the rot & either pass the baton to someone else or revert back to the accusers. This is th deadly cycle we have found ourselves in.
But what if we all come together & realise that whoever is responsible for the rot, we are all responsible for fixing it? What happens to realising the single fact that when the Ship behind to sink, every on board will go down with the sink? How can apportioning blames help?
I have no doubt that things will never change themselves until we do so ourselves. We all have identified the challenges, what are we doing to fix them? Can we come together & form syndicate groups aimed at championing the interest of the common people & the region.
I say 'commom people' because I have no doubt that the "strong ones" can take care of themselves. In the event of a disaster, they have options, of flying their children & families out of the country & keeping them overseas with the wealth they have stolen from us.
God is not a man. God is in charge & no evil planned against us can succeed. But having said that, we have an interest to protect. We have a goal to achieve. We have a work to do. A huge damn work. Are we ready?😥
