When the educated ones fail to educate the illiterates .

Nigeria is gradually becoming the centre of fake news around the world with the increasing tensions created to sabotage the long term relationship that brought the country together as one indivisible nation 60 years after. These narrators are not good students of history or they may have intentionally ignored the rich history of our cultural heritages to pave way for their selfish and personal interest. Since the return of democracy in 1999, The country has been battling with different conflicts of interest of which became more pronounced when President Muhammadu Buhari GCFR took over in 2015. I am not a mouth piece of the APC led Government nor defender of any political group but I am a Nigerian who's grandparents and parents where born in Nigeria before independence.

As a Fulani man who's main business and source of livelihood is rearing of cattles (cows) is the most deprived Nigerian of all the Government interventions ranging from roads , Health care , information technology , scholarship , Political appointments , Security of lives and properties. Today ,We can say Nigeria is in a sorry State whereby clounds , Political thugs and violent agents can comfortably issued quit notice to the Fulani extraction yet Government are keeping mute while these people are been chase out of the country most of which their ancestors fought and struggled for . I don't think ,There is any tribe left on Nigeria that can speak very rich and polish English like the Fulanis because the golden voice of Africa we once had was shoeless Fulani boy . Which English are talking about ? Professor Bande Chairing the United Nations General Assembly and his Sister Hajiya Amina Mohammed is also the United Nations Deputy Secretary General . The reason I am saying this is simple,Most often the responses and comments of some of the fellows from the Southern part of Nigeria has consistently failed to justify their acclaimed status in Western Education. I am very sure there is no seat of power in the whole world where English is vomited like the United Nations where the likes of Obama's ,Bidens and Trumps make Presentations under these noble son and daughter of Fulani Extraction.

Our major problem in Nigeria is lack of ecthnical reorientation not the degree certificates since as they have proved to be inefficient in guiding our consience rather they made some of us to thinks worst that those who existed in the 17th century. We cannot continue to be doing what we constantly accuse others of lacking .The Northern region has been in the news as the poverty and headquarter of illiteracy in Nigeria yet our thoughts , perceptions and attitudes are more guided than those with the University degrees. The endsars Protest spoke in high volume our capacity as Northern people to handle most complicated issues that bounce and appear on our ways always .The South as whole should remember that democracy is a game of numbers and for long they have been ignorant of this principles which make them Political inrelivant in the Nigerian Political landscape for quite sometime. The agitations by the mostly Nigerian minorities is the reason that brought in the issue of zoning which first produced former President Obasanjo and Jonathan but the noise makers know better that it has no any constitutional backings . President Buhari now is completing his second term of office and hopefully by the year 2023 the South likely to enjoy same gesture as it may be but with the current happenings where quit notice are been issued certainly the South in Genet need to reconstitute a high power reconciliation team to down to the North because as it is the Notate fade up with the way things are been handled.

The North has absolutely no bond of contention to settle with anyone from the South as the Region has been made a safe heaven to all people of the South particularly the Igbos and the Yorubas .The Fulanis that are  been evicted with their cows been killed currently occupied 0.001% compared to the number of Igbos living in the core Northern States .How much is the worth of all the cows you are posting on the Social media ? How much are the worth of your properties in the North ? . I blamed not the tauts but the stakeholders like the State Governors and the traditional rulers who sit comfortable while these conflict entrepreneurs are implementing their game plan to ignite the North and the South . The Igbos and the Yorubas in the North are not doing enough in the area of sensitisation and information sharing to their fellow brothers at home because should this be the manner of attitude be adopted in the North certainly they will have enough prices to pay . The North as a whole is calm and is not issuing quit notice to anyone despite the ongoing humiliation of the Fulanis in the South East and South West in particular.

We are calling on the federal government and the Northern State Governors Forum to call their counterparts in the South to order by asking to bring to an end of the ongoing barbaric treatment of the fellow Nigerians in the affected areas just because they are Fulanis. Nigeria belong to all of us and no tribe is greater than the other even when we paid worst of these crisis . The history of Plateau , Southern Kaduna 2011 post election crisis ,Benue and Mambila genocides that caused millions of these Fulanis homeless with yet nothing in the side of the Government. The Fulanis are the most humiliated set of people in Nigeria who have for long been placed under serious treat even when government at different levels has failed to carter their need even the core responsibility of protecting lives and properties. As the 2023 elections draw near even as a leader of Advocate of unity ,peace and Justice in Nigeria ,I advised the South should adopt a different strategy of getting power back to the South other than the violent approach led by Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday because only peace can .


I hope the educated South will think a million times they currently thinking to get it right as the illiterate North will succumb to the intimidation of the Amotekun led by Sunday and the Eastern Security network led by fleeing and faceless Nnamdi Kanu to burn the country because our grandparents and parents fought to keep it together. This proganda against the Fulanis for personal interest is the greatest mistake of the century and a misplaced direction that can only end your 2023 dream other than making it realistic .We shall continue to preach and advocate for peace ,unity, harmony , justice and fairness to all but on no account shall comprise our patriotism and loyalty to Nigeria as a nation. Education attainment is the ability for one to act in the right direction and from the happenings today in the southern part of Nigeria more need to be done to educate them .
