SULTAN ABUBAKAR – GOD BLESS YOU

You see, I owe this oga a hot bowl of afang. I don’t even care if he will enjoy it. I will sha just offer him. Daddy has said that there cannot be war in Nigeria and that who will fight who. He said that those blowing trumpets of war are simply just trying to draw attention to what they can get out of this country; my sentiments exactly. All these mumu people jumping up and shouting, secession, war, etc., are the very first to run when they hear the sound of banger. I look and listen to all these charlatans, and they are being represented in every corner of this country for what they are – jokers.

I have always said that our problem is nothing but leadership. By its very weakness, this current leadership has amplified all these fault lines that have been there since independence. It has exposed the fault lines in a very obvious and annoying way. See, we moved from regions to states. We divided from 12 to 36, and we are still beset with the same issues of poor leadership, corruption, infrastructural decay, etc.

So, for anybody to tell me that if we restructure or break up, we will suddenly become an Eldorado, then that person needs his head examined. Please, my dear Sultan, tell them the issue is not resource control, restructuring, insecurity, or anything but that of leadership. And we get the kind of leaders we deserve. Simple.
