The aim of this write up isn't to elaborate on our past history nor to give a sermon on who is right or wrong, or which side is dominating and the one dominated, rather it is to give a clear picture of who and what our politicians are and how they politicalised everything in this country. And to let the youths know that their leaders who are pushing them to clamored or incite violence, is to their gain and at the expense of those who will be use as machineries(everyday Nigerians) . Those politicians have nothing to lose, because it will be another profit to their "vested interest " and their business as usual "privatization of public funds into their own pockets".
The wave of the yet another incarnation of1967 gory history of Nigeria is about to melt the unity storm that unconditionally bind us together. Last week news headlines was so terrifying, and shocked most concern Nigerians. The quite notice message by Arewa youth forum to the Ibos to vacate the North and park back to their region. with August as the death line. The pro- Biafra agitators (IPOB, Kanu's Jewish Prophethood Pranks) all these unpleasant noises and stinking clamoring produced horrific and pandemonium air of hopelessness on Nigeria dream of promoting national unity and prosperous future for our children to harvest in the riches of our country's Godgiving wealth.
I read many comments on the burning issue on ground postulated by some social commentators. From both sides, to this end I don't have to say anything else. Just to let my Muse to wet my immature intellectualism on the issue, I will adopt some of the good but careful intellectualism displayed by one highly educated traditional ruler; the Emir of Kano; Emir Muhammad Sunusi II. On his lengthy but educative essay, his royal Highness made mentioned of one most important and at the same time deceptive common weapon our selfish politicians use to dismantle the conscience of the masses that will allow them to see the oppressive nature of the so-called leaders and consequently, the politico- psychological manipulation drugs intoxication that forced the youths to enter into a war. The cause of which they know nothing about, the motives behind it and to fight a war with their blood a battle that is psychologically and physically beyond them (he said the sefish politicians are the "common enemy" of the masses). So let us fight them and not to kill ourselves. Alas, who will blame them?. Their oppressors for so long ingrained in them the politico-psychological manipulation drugs which intoxicated them and retarded their conscience and intellect to reason well before they agreed to fight a war that doesn't belong to them. Or before they innocently kill themselves while their oppressors sit from a protective mansions to watch while they were slay and maimed right in front of their doors.
There isn't good name for "wrong" bad is bad no matter what name we give to it. It is still "Bad". All these pro- Biafra agitators, IPOB, Niger Delta avengers..... Etc and Northern Youths Forum, Arewa Youth to all other premature groups calling for break out or divisions I considered them as those who are heedless to history especially gory past of our country.
Please the good people of this country let not politicians use you to invest in their "vested interest" which is to expense of we the masses. "Children of nobody". That is why you are in the school to be educated and be different from those who go no school. Never allow you to be exploited by those selfish politicians whose sole business is their pockets and well-being of their children who went abroad to study while you are here in dilapidated institutions and rotting educational systems.
