The grounded ABJ-KAD Train services should tell the APC and its supporters by now that infrastructure without peace is as useless as the word can mean. Nigeria is losing revenue because there is no peace. Nothing guarantees peace like unity, fairness and Justice.
Those of us in Kaduna are experiencing the biggest infrastructure revolution the state has ever had, yet as you drive on the new roads you are suspicious of every move around you. When you realize you can be taken in a minute, the development you see becomes worthless!
The realization that one kidnap could swallow up an entire family fortune and leave you at the mercy of bank loans and good will of the very diversity the APC is undermining will humble you and make you rethink who the enemy truly is.
We shouldn’t allow this country descend into chaos for want of priding ourselves as some political juggernaut. Nigeria is at the brinks and certain people want to hasten its final collapse because of selfishness and greed to remain in power.
How is the current security situation protecting us in our mosques? Are those kidnapping and killing us working for PETER OBI or IPOB? Why do we allow our numbers in the north only important for political calculations rather than economic advantage?
Can anyone in Kano, for example, prove that Tinubu or Shettima have contributed to the economy of the state than a single Igbo man in Sabon Gari market? Or Panteka in Kaduna? Or even Katsina Road tyre seller and the jobs they provide for Gwandu Road boys who are Muslims?
Has Atiku’s ABTI given more economic opportunity to our people than the many businesses the Igbo people have established in the North?

We should begin to take appraisals of who our friends are and those who just see us as numbers to help their political exploits!
While mutual distrust cannot be solved in one day, it’s time to start looking at those who add value to us and those whose sole purpose for our numbers is to serve as support to keep them at the top while over burdening us with their glutinous and insatiable greed!
We mustn’t allow political ego of individual affect our collective need to be at peace with our neighbors.

Let’s #TakeBackNaija with #Obidatti2023. Let’s be #OBIdientlyYUSful to Nigeria!

We pretend a lot in this country and our hypocrisy stinks! Religious considerations have driven how people vote since 99. Stop guilt tripping the PO movement on that. Ask INEC or @StatiSense to pull out data on voting pattern and let’s see?
All our parties bar PDP were formed on regional grounds on which for some region, religion played the biggest role on how candidates emerged and how votes were won. Let’s pretend like Christian in the North are Deaf and don’t here certain sermons on loud speakers?
Let’s pretend like in 2014 a current minister didn’t take to even conducting prayer sessions against the PDP? Or that a certain Pastor supporting the candidate of PDP didn’t wish fire consume anyone that votes against the PDP?

I totally disagree with her arguments. Gauging the response of people who before now believes the crisis was a religious one, today many of those proponents have seen and understand the crisis as being one of agitation rather than “islamizing” Nigeria.
Yes there are still packets of conspiracy theories, you won’t expect that there will be no mischievous undertone, but the change in narrative far outweigh the dissidents still propping up theories.
If we are being sincere, the response of the government is what still gives and is still giving credence to the distrust that pervades the polity.

People now understand that the crisis is one created by lack of leadership rather than taking over Nigeria by a proponent.

A friend MS Ustaz was in that train and is amongst those in captivity. We are currently gathering money to secure his release as a group. Good thing is there are Igbos we do business with who don’t give a F about one #headlessIgbos space to make a contribution.
These guys have head, they understand when what quarrel and living together is. We all do business in the same place and benefit from each other. They’d be making their own contributions 🤷‍♂️.
You can stay here and insult as much as you want. Those of us working in the North for PO aren’t doing it to apologize or assume our quarrels will stop. Humans will always have misunderstandings and find ways to resolve.

Your hate and vitriol won’t bring @Waspapping_’s brother back or keep him in captivity unless that which is destined on him by Allah. Your one Naira won’t add or remove anything from him if you know how hard he works to not depend on any man!
He saw and identifies a problem, like many of us, rather late? Who is keeping time for change of mind?

We have a country to fight for and everyone have a place in that battle ground. If you want to dwell on what is/was said, I’m sure worst have been said by many of you here.
In many cases, Sani have only ever fought back and never the aggressor. He replies and points to a flaw in your faux and one-sided sympathy for victims of carnage while you see his people as just numbers with no value when killed by same aggressors.

You forgot to add that they were invaded, branded less human, subdue and taught a brand of Islam that would produce the level of toxicity that now pervades NW by Fulani usurpers? As if that isn't enough, they are still being killed till date!
All they wanted to do is live their farming lives in peace and "marry early", but they can't do that in peace. Violence is visited on them by rag-tags fulanis and subdued yet still by political and religious pandering fulanis.
You can't and shouldn't tell their stories without telling the part of the problem the fulanis inflicted. It's rather dubious to do that.

Even more is how the Fulani have caused them hate with fellow Nigerians when they annexed their name to justify being Nigerians!

As expected, I knew when it's time to talk on the Southern Kaduna issue with facts, those who push the GENOCIDE narrative will lost their voices. Their's isn't about finding solution, nor are they sympathetic to lives lost in that circle of violence. They just want the......
..........Fulani man pronounced guilty. Facts are coming out and they're beginning to lost their voices.

I was 7 when I first heard of religious crisis. The 1987 CoE, now college of nursing, crisis in Garaje, Kafanchan took place.
What followed was students, mostly Hausa Muslims, losing their lives on their way home from schools like Fadan Kaje, Gov college Kagoro, Gov sec school Angwar Rimi Kafanchan and Technical college Kaf. Their fault was simply being Muslims and schooling in a predominantly.....
