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?

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!

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.

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 🤷‍♂️.

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.

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.

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.

Before I'll make my thread on this SK issue, I'll love to ask few questions: 1. Can anyone(both SK indegens and their friends from outside kd) point me to one village in Southern Kaduna where Fulani claimed the village and sacked the people? From 1975 till date. 2. Can anyone point to any crisis in SK that started with a Fulani throwing the first salvo pre 2011?

3. Where is Sheikh Lemu's panel of inquiry findings and recommendations post 2011 election crisis given to GEJ? In Zonkwa alone the findings will shake Satan himself!

Before the late 80s, SK had more Genarals than the other parts of KD. Today, not one of them is in Kaduna politics. Guess what they did? Formed a group on WhatsApp and turned themselves Pastors fighting a one-sided battle and behaving like renegades. See, if I'm to write about how poorly these guys have handled the matter, I'd write 10 books.

When SOKAPU was birthed, they infiltrated every student union with that same divisive message. Today, Army generals currently in the NA have joined the fray.

Hausa is perhaps the youngest language in all of Nigeria. It has no originality. It is a trade language. Yes trade, not your commodity "buying and selling" language, no. It is a SLAVE TRADE language! That's argument for another day sha. If you doubt, ask the Kanuri people! My sentiments is on the other parts of El Nathan's thread. The continued but deliberate denial of how very much oppressive the Lords of the north have been towards the minorities through Language and Religion. I lived through it too, even as a Muslim!

I started my business in 2008 and the hope was to grow to become a household name like Micro manna and Khemsafe in Kaduna. At the time Macdonalds Computers had not even gone into computer sales. He was selling fairly used cameras! Besteffect was selling only printers and parts. Same with very many names I won't bore you with. Back then I was receiving computers from Malaysia, although at very expensive rates compared to other people, I was still selling. The problem is capital wasn't mine!

If you're wondering why we have the kind of paramilitary we deal with everyday? The graduation pictures of our political family is exactly why. How does this relate? I'll tell you.

The big jobs in Nigeria are not as many as the low paying ones. So they send their children to oyinbo land, rush them through graduate school and then post graduate schools so as to justify qualifications when it is required. You wen de hungry and managed to finish ABU, UNILAG, UNN etc, wia u c moni to start post graduate immediately?

Over the weekend, an event, Northern Youth Forum held in "a location"😂 that was known only to the children of the elite class, political class, and "almost" one faith based and then dominated majorly by active members of one party, then boldly and arrogantly called NORTHERN! In these kind of gathering, the RICH and LITERATE tell the POOR and ILLITERATE why they are in that state and then come up with decisions for the POOR and ILLITERATE without actually understanding why the POOR is the ILLITERATE or the ILLITERATE is POOR.

Anyone that follows my tweets will pass me up for a FEMINISTS. I wish I could argue for or against FEMINISM, for or against LGBTQIA and the other many EUPHEMISMs we coin to push forward our absurdities and to justify our flaws and abnormalities as humans. Most times the problems stem from the denial of the RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES of the smaller, less vocal groups, by the much larger groups. It happens in every facet of our struggles. We see this even in our work places, in politics, unions et cetera.

In this Ramadan, if you visit a prison here in the North, you'd probably hear stories of how different churches came to free inmates, mostly Muslims, who couldn't affords bail as low as 2k or afford legal representation to apply for such bail. But if our Muslim Orgs go there? They'd manage to free a handful and only Muslims like themselves.

This is a special Ramadan thank you to the church in Nigeria. May God bless you all.

I say this because I am a living witness to what you do.

Let's all get mad together. While at it, let's start from pre 1966. Let's do some history. Shebi una want history? Make we talk am o. Let's start by how the north reluctantly accepted to join Nigeria. How pre independence the north had already been runned over by other region. Let's talk about how it never wanted to be a part of you, yet you convinced it to join and had to delay independence until it was ready. This north that you call parasite never wanted to be a part of this amalgamation. It was content with what it had.
