The Mutual Betrayal of the Northern Nigeria
With
Adamu Suleiman Magama
It's critical clear, that the northern Nigeria has been betrayed by it populace. The destruction agenda of the north was championed by the people that benefited from the benevolence and genuine intentions of nation building by the founding fathers of the Northern Nigeria. I remember sardauna was hugely criticized with proclamation of northernization and indeginization policy in 1966, which affects the ideals of a united Nigeria. Just to make them First in championing the affairs of their people but rather they championed the affair of their immediate families.
They were educated by the best teachers and sent abroad without interest of their background, racial and religious inclination, With the sole interest to repatriate the western ideologies of human capacity development for the next generation but rather they chose a part of partisanship and cared for only their own.
They were given scholarships, free meal and appointed into critical sectors of the country with the interest of progressiveness of the next generation but they jettison the treaty.
They were offered appointment indiscriminately but resort to themselves and their families alone
They were handed industries for economic purposes and empowerment of their population but rather, they privatized them for themselves and their children at the detriment of the entire population.
They were given public trust and elected into public offices on bases of their respective educational sprouts and personal development without luring the population with materialistic possessions but rather
They betrayed all these and exchange competence and merits with materialism and proximity to corridor of power
They were protected, wars was fought on there behalf and dispute was made on their behalf but rather they install fear and barbarism to continue been worshiped and stay at the Helm of affairs
They brainwashed the innocent population that never asked them accountable of their actions with regional and religious sentiment that they don't practice.
They steal with pen, we give them titles, re-elect them, praise them and they claimed to be righteous by going to holy land with stolen funds
For your Information, The northern masses don't benefit anything from them, after affluent they don't come back home or build ediface in their home communities. They inter Marry among themselves, to maintain the class they created for themselves and their children, they open agencies with wide range and different wages for their children and family members.
Today about 10.5 million northern children out of 13.5million children between the age of 10-14 are out of school in Nigeria and suffering from malnutrition, the highest in the world . Did you see or hear any northern elite making such his /her life priorities? The answer is none apart from Rochas Okorocha(Despite Being a Southerner) and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso
Today about 15.2 million adolescent children between the the age of 15-20 are uneducated and only depends on minial jobs to survive in Northern Nigeria. Despite the vast and abundant resources and fertile lands available for agriculture and industrialization but nothing is put in place to engage them, we only hear audio loans without genuine beneficiaries.
The youths that are educated are jobless in the North, The elites are the custodian of all government appointment from civil services, even some private establishment requires their recommendations.
Now we are not secured, the least we use to have(Security) is gone and we are mute, we have resorted to regional sentiment and refuse to say no and enough is enough but rather we have embrace it as a normal life affairs. None of their sons and daughters are kidnapped and used as political propaganda. They have painted us black in the eye of the world as violent and uneducated people.
Dear Nigerians it's high time we know that the business of governance and leadership has nothing to do with region or religion but rather the welfare of the citizens. We are not voting anyone to give us sermon or preach the path of salvation for us but rather to make available earthly materialistic amenities for human comfortability. Let's be wise
