North has already destroyed itself, it remains the South to demolish [1], by Dele Sobowale
“The North has become a region of endless funerals and perpetual bereavement. Bandits in the North have become a state.

Buhari: When bigotry and incompetence threaten Nigerian unity(2)
But, something interesting occurred two months after the Enugu and Agatu mass murders. Five herdsmen were reported missing in one of the Southeast states. Suddenly, security forces swamped the area in search of the missing herdsmen; villagers were interrogated and some detained briefly. The difference is clear
The price for rape of Agatu
After four days of going round Agatu communities, interviewing the people as well as traditional rulers, we made an observation which was ignored by everybody including the President, governor and all the security agencies which are now running around trying to find a lasting solution to the problem

Blaming The Governors For Our Collective Faults – 2
Nigeria has seldom been a country blessed with foresightful people. Perhaps, they would never have tried, if our “Founding fathers”, those who fought for our independence – Macaulay, Imoudu, Ahmadu Bello, Awolowo, Azikiwe and Enahoro – had known that we would today be an embarrassment to the black race. But, alas! Here we are barely able to keep the country from falling apart and now tentatively held together by crude oil revenue – which like most earthly gods is now poised to let us down, unless we can face the truth about the future.
