The Northern part of Nigeria is dying and at the verge of collapsing.
The singular reason for this is the lack of leadership in the north.
Who is a leader? A leader according to Encarta dictionary is either
somebody who guides or directs others or somebody/something in front of
all others. This definition tells us that a leader should always be in
front to take the lead unlike what we find in the north, someone who is
ready to feel what his followers are feeling.
Who is a dealer? A dealer according to Encarta dictionary is a person or
company whose business is buying and selling. Anyone, who is into
buying and selling is only after the profit he will make at the end of
the transaction, he is not interested in the buyer satisfaction just his
profit.
Now after seeing who a leader and a dealer is we now look at the
northern leaders is relationship to just doing business in the office
they are elected into. Our leaders I am sorry to write this about you
but if I don’t the much needed change will not happen. All the
happenings in the north is just a result of doing business at the
expense of leading people from out of there miseries, the highest level
of poverty, illiteracy, unemployment, insecurity, destitute, poor health
care, poor educational system, low self esteem in Nigeria is in the
North, yet the North has produce more President/Head of State than the
other regions of Nigeria put together. (my facts above are in realities
not fictional)
What are our leaders doing, that they cannot see the situation of the
region what happens to the legacy left by our founding heroes as we sing
in our National anthem (“the labours of our heroes of past shall never
be in vain” what a hypocrisy) the legacies of Sir Ahmadu Bello, Abubakar
Tafawa Balewa, Sir Kashim Ibrahim to mention but a few? Our present
leaders are just interested in the return they get from whatever money
the nation is given, always the northern governor don’t like the
shearing formula, the northern senators are against the PIB is what we
see, hear or read form the media. They are just like the dealer
described above who is just interested in the profit he makes not the
satisfaction of the person buying.
To prove my point the more is the statement of the chairman of the
Northern governor’s forums Alh. (Dr.) Babangida Aliyu the executive
governor of Niger state who came out to tell us that they had a deal
with our President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, that he will run for just
one year, no wonder the situation in the North is getting worse by the
day, who know if the insurgence in the North was part of the deal that
was made. I can see why the northern leaders are all calling for
amnesty, I can only guess it’s a good deal for them.
The North was the back born of the nation I could remember reading my
regional geography text books and I see Nigeria among the world’s
largest exporters of groundnut, cotton etc. the profit gotten from such
exportation was part of the money that build the refineries we had, now
we can’t even produce the once we need to survive. The insurgence in the
North can only be stopped by the northern leaders not the presidency
granting amnesty “the owner of the house know where his house is
licking”.
Our leaders have brain wash us the Northerners into believing that
development is from the presidency that the presidency is responsible
for the regions development. I say that is a big lie. The presidency
makes policies and oversees the regions, every state has a monthly
allocation, every senator have constitutional allowances, this are
the money that are to be used to develop the region, what about the tax
the government collect form people in the region, what about funds from
world bank to underdeveloped nations which Nigeria is a beneficiary the
North the sole consumer of such funds.
It time for us the northerners to stand up and see our leaders for who
they are not what they say they are, my prayer is that this information
will go a long way in helping my people in emancipating ourselves from
this state of mind which has being controlled by our leaders.
Change begins with you and me, it’s time to change
