SERIES: BABA 'TANDA, BABA DEAD POOL AND BABA DEAD SEA

“…securing a nation state is the collective responsibility of all of its citizens, both private and corporate.”

YO! NANJIRIYA UNDER SHEIKH MUHAMADU BUHARI ISN’T WORKING - KWENSKWENTLY, A VOTE OF NO CONFRIDRENCE, WALLAI!

In view of the current threats to national security coupled with the unparalleled national adversities into which the nation has been plunged since Muhammadu Buhari rode back to power in 2015, we are compelled by national duty and an unalloyed patriotism to alert the Nigerian authorities and the Nigerian people again, especially having been doing so in the last 27 years about the porosity and incomparable vulnerability of the nation’s national and international borders.

These two very worrisome states of the nation’s borders – North, South, East and West are such that foreign elements have been sneaking in and out to commit all sorts crimes, and having so done, sneaked out, lamentably sometimes, with the aid of even the statutory gate keepers of the nation’s borders and some very unpatriotic elements in our midst, bent on collapsing the Nigerian Federation for pecuniary gains.

SERIES: FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN...

¹ By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion.

² There on the poplars     we hung our harps,

³ for there our captors asked us for songs,     

our tormentors demanded songs of joy;     

they said, “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”

- Psalm 137.

JOHN ODEY ADUMA in this article takes a hard and very reflective look at the nation’s odyssey thus far, especially after 105 years since the amalgamation and laments that the people of the Upper and Lower Niger are not yet able to integrate and cohere as a people of one indissoluble nation under one destiny, one philosophy, one vision and under one God, with the country having been further divided by the Arabists into SHARIADOM AND CHRISTENDOM. Of equal lament for Mr Aduma also is the fact that an army of occupation from the East through their local agents and collaborators have besieged the West African State of Nigeria, holding her in captivity and pillaging her resources and actual wealth in a manner he would like to chronicle for posterity as: The Pacification of the Christian tribes of the Lower and Upper Niger, paving the way for the introduction of total and mindless sharia in the polity.

• He further laments that Nigerians are known more for their often-ignominious rancour, political vendetta, aggrandizement, nepotism, regionalism, ethnicity, practise of hereditary privilege, socio-politico-cultural pollution, otherwise known as corruption, than being a people of one nation.
