If you need proof of how disconnected many #Arewa politicians are from the realities of their own people, consider this: The governor of insecurity-ravaged and poverty-stricken Kebbi State reportedly bought himself a luxury golf cart to cruise around the grounds of the Government House. While ordinary people battle hunger, fear, unemployment and banditry, their leaders are busy acquiring toys for comfort and prestige. #AllahGamuGareka I could say much more, but I honestly cannot put it better than Mallam Bello Abdullahi did in the piece below: —-///—- From Horseback to Golf Cart: How Kebbi's New Nobility Announced Its Divorce from Reality By Bello Abdullahi The Kebbi State Government recently bought an 6-seater luxury golf cart. In a state where children forget the taste of eggs. In a state where roads have become graveyards. In a state where the only thing moving fast is poverty. But no. Let us not be harsh. Perhaps the cart is for emergency services? No. Perhaps it is for transporting patients? No. Perhaps it is to help the governor visit flooded villages? Don't be silly. It is for leisure. For cruising the Government House environs or even the golf course. While outside the gate, people are cruising from one hunger to another. This is not governance. This is a sitcom. Defenders will say: "Every government buys vehicles." True. But not every government buys a toy while their people are dying. There is a difference between a utility vehicle and a luxury cart. The difference is called shame. And shame, in Kebbi, appears to be in short supply. Politics is not just about spending money. It is about reading the room. And the room is on fire. But the governor is too busy polishing his golf cart to notice. Let me say it plainly: Feudal politics in Kebbi: comfort at the top, anger at the bottom. That is not a slogan. That is a coroner's report on public trust. Even medieval kings knew when to hide their gold. When famine came, they wore rags, publicly. Why? Because they understood performative modesty. Our own elite have graduated beyond such peasant concerns. Why pretend to suffer when you can simply stop pretending to care? It is called efficiency. Modern governance. The golf cart is not the problem. The golf cart is a symptom. The disease is a ruling class that has seceded emotionally from the republic. They no longer feel what the people feel. They no longer want to feel it. To the hungry citizen, that luxury cart is not a vehicle. It is a slap. A middle finger on wheels. And the message is clear: We are not like you. We will never be like you. And we are tired of pretending. Luxury at the villa. Suffering in the villages. That is the equation. And the people are solving it every day. A government can survive incompetence. What it cannot survive is contempt. When the governed realize that their leaders no longer even pretend to understand their pain, the social contract dies. Quietly. Irreversibly. So enjoy the golf cart, Your Excellency. Enjoy the smooth electric ride around the villa. But remember: outside those gates, the people are watching. And they have long memories. And when the reckoning comes, as it always does, that 6-seater will not carry you far enough. Abdullahi, a writer, under the #GaskiyaAlliance platform writes from Kaduna.

#ArewaMuFarka Unpacking and sharing the call by Mallama Hadiza Shehu Malumfashi of the Political Advantage Platform (PAP) - see attached video: ———— “…the value of a Nigerian life should never depend on geography.” “….questions for the northern establishment, political leaders, elites, influencers, all of us….where is the voice of the north? Where is our outrage? Where is our collective anger? Where is our conscience? Where is the Vice President? Where are our governors? Where are our chiefs and emirs? Where are these senators and representatives?” “Why do we mobilise so quickly for politics but yet so slowly for human lives?” “Why do we issue stronger statements about power than about our murdered and abducted citizens?” “Have we become so accustomed to insecurity that we no longer see the victims?” “When people stop speaking up, leaders stop listening.” “No Nigerian life is worth more than the other.” “The terrorists are the ones attacking our communities, but our collective indifference is what is clearly destroying our humanity.” ——- Your comments are welcome….

This video from Trust TV News lays it as plainly as it can be laid. 20 out of the 34 Local Govts in #KatsinaState have entered into a peace deal with armed bandits. That is 60% of the entire state. A deal that is the only alternative when The #Nigerian State has failed protect them. And those 20 Local Govts have a President, a Governor, Senators, House of Reps members, State Assembly members, Local Government Chairmen and Councillors that have all sworn to protect their lives and property - and all of whom these citizens have elected in their democratic franchise to do just that. Someone, anyone, please make this make sense to #Nigerians….

TRIBUTE TO OUR “UNEDUCATED” LITERATES: Behold: yet another ‘uneducated’ and ‘stark illiterate’ ‘Out-of-School’ child, at least according to the ‘experts’ or ‘literates’ who can barely fill a school form without autocorrect. Meanwhile, the same “illiterate” Almajiri has memorised an entire holy book in a language that isn’t his own, mastered an ancient script most critics can’t even comprehend, and is now calmly writing long passages from memory as if it were nothing. The real comedic irony? Those quickest to label the youngster illiterate would struggle to produce two sentences—in any language, with any script, without Google, spell-check, and lots of tears. Another reason for a rethink on what it means to be ‘educated’ in today’s #Nigeria. As any system that doesn’t recognise and integrate such scholarly brilliance disenfranchises millions of very gifted young learners.

ETHNIC PROFILING! 💔 Calling on the Department of State Services (DSS), the Nigeria Police Force, Bayelsa State Govt and HE Governor Douye Diri to urgently investigate this unfortunate incidence and take action. I also call on other states governments in southern Nigeria to be vigilant and be ready to swiftly intervene in situations like this, because if nothing is done, it could easily escalate into a much bigger crisis on both sides of the Niger. Every ethnic group in Nigeria has its own share of misguided individuals, hot-headed youths, and uninformed people, and in their hands, a video like this may be interpreted as a call to arms against fellow Nigerians erroneously labelled as “invaders”, if they sympathised with the faceless perpetrator in the video, or as a direct attack on their own community or ethnicity, if they identified with the victim. Considering how quickly things spread on social media nowadays, this could lead to a retributive escalation, adding another layer of concern to our already burdened security set up. This is exactly how unnecessary tension and violence start: one misinformed and irrational person can cause damage simply because nobody addressed the root of the problem. As far as the law is concerned, no Nigerian needs a visa (or a reason) to travel to or live anywhere in his/her country for business or personal reasons. So why are some individuals in one part of the country acting as security agents stopping, intimidating and harassing other Nigerians? Presidency Nigeria The Nigerian Senate House of Reps.

The demolition of Alaba Rago market in Lagos; What the victims are saying in the video: 1. They are Nigerians and Lagos is part of Nigeria (have every right as Nigerians to be in Lagos) and have lived and traded in that market since it was nothing but a swamp; 2. They are not illegal settlers, their properties have all the legal papers and they pay whatever is due to the authorities; 3. Right from AD they have always supported and voted for any ruling party of Lagos; 4. They just woke up on Monday morning and were confronted by demolishing equipment and armed policemen; 5. They have lost so much of their wealth and livelihood with the snap of a finger; 6. That what is meted to them is crass injustice and they would want the authorities to look into this and be compensated for their loss.

Some truths are uncomfortable…. The video below is that of a Hausa man living in New York (I’ve not verified this or know his name). He is talking about solving the ‘Almajiri’ problem in northern Nigeria. I don’t agree with everything the he is saying (or if what he is proposing will solve the problem) but if we all agreed that what he is trying to solve is a uniquely #Arewa problem, can we propose alternatives to its solution? Definitely it is not tenable to have millions of kids outside formal education and growing up into adults that are outside the formal economy. Are we ready to recognise that irresponsible parenting and societal neglect are the root cause of the ‘almajiranci’ scourge? If yes, are we ready to hold the parents of these kids accountable? Or agree on how we go about holding them accountable? Are we ready as a society to confront and eliminate or reform this negative phenomenon? As of now, this is not on any northern politician’s agenda. None of our so called political elites is ready to own this issue or even to take a deeper look at ways to confront it. Whatever they are doing on this for now is mere tokenism. Do the solution does not lie with them for now. But, as a society, confront this we must. Even if our political leaders are failing to do anything about it. Your thoughts please.

Meanwhile from somewhere in Kebbi State, north western Nigeria…..a cleric has had enough and decided to dedicate his Jumu’at sermon to deliver a message to Kebbi State Government and the governor, Dr. Nasir Idris . This is the on-going 20-year ‘genocide’ that is not trending. We wish more #Arewa clerics, traditional rulers and elders to also lend their voice to this. It has gotten to that. ——— Muna fatar sauran Malamai, sarakai da dattawan #Arewa su fito su yi magana.

A THREAT IS EXISTENTIAL WHEN.…. In the last few days: - In this video below, Dr Kabir Adamu, a security and intelligence expert, said in another very recent Channels Television interview "everyone who knows his onions within the security space knows where the big bandits are" - he added, "apart from knowing their physical presence, we have knowledge of their businesses - Bello Turji has businesses that are know to the security agencies" - so we know where they are. - Al Jazzera journalist, Ahmed Idris, reporting Al Jazeera English, tracked and interviewd the bandits in their den and interviewd them - so we know where they are. - Former Kaduna State Governor, Mal Nasiru Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai: In a Channels Television interview claimed that the government, through the Office of the national security adviser is sending money and proviisions to bandits terrorising the north western Nigeria - so we know where they are. - Governor Dauda Lawal of ZAMFARA STATE GOVERNMENT said “We have means of tracking and bandits but even when we know where they are and are ready to attack them, the authorities in Abuja stop our vigilantes” - so we know where they are. - Yesterday, a video emerged of a young bandit, an automatic weapon in hand, out in town (after a purpoted truce) and enjoying a yoghurt in a town in Katsina state with many young men taking pictures of him and with him - so we know where they are. Yet, according reports, and in the last 30 hours, these same armed bandits have; * Attacked Magaji Wando community in Katsina where they killed and abducted many then ambushed a CWC (Children's Welfare Centre) where their injured victims are being cared for and abducted all residents. Later all the injured residents killed by the bandits. * People were attacked, abducted, injured and killed in Tagadi and Ruwan Gora communities in Zamfara State, Fakku village in Sokoto State, Melehe village in Niger State, Sanga Local Govt of Kaduna State and Jabiri community in Katsina State. So; Isn't it time #Arewa understands that it is in an existential war with itself? That like a cancer, we are allowing something we can collectively remedy to destroy us all? As we are busy playing politics with our rural folks’ lives, let's know that this is not Nigeria's problem. The rest of Nigeria will move on, as they watch us fail to get get to grips and bring to end to something capable of destroying the entire #Arewa. Nigeria Governors' Forum and all #Arewa political, traditional, religious and business leaders, together with all northern technocrats and intellectuals should come together to fashion away to end this. Else.......we as a region and as a people are doomed.
