PLAIN TRUTH ABOUT NORTHERN NIGERIA - HE. DIKKO RADDA Summary: Interviewer: Considering that northern Nigeria has the highest number of voters and has been in power for decades and that every progressive step seems to originate from the region where exactly do you think the failure lies? Why does the North lack recognition, direction, or a collective blueprint for progress? HE Dikko Radda: Our major and only problem is lack of unity. Everyone works in isolation, everyone minds his personal business. It is an operation of save yourself, look after yourself. Nobody is concerned about what others or communities are facing. There is no single individual in the North whose voice carries the weight of collective respect, no one whose decisions people listen to or stand by. What we require is leadership, respect for elders, and a unified position that binds every northerner. Take an example from our neighbours in the South; If a Yoruba man relocates to the UK or US and finds a job, one thing is certain, he will ensure he brings a friend or family member to benefit from that opportunity. Any job or opening he finds, he will show it to one of his own. Go to northern Nigeria: any Igbo man who owns a shop will, after a few years, open a similar shop for someone from his family or community or give them capital. If he does not, he cannot return home. In the North, we have no guiding structure or mentality of helping and building each other. We are often used for political gains. Sometimes, there will be a collective stance meant to benefit the region, but a few individuals will sabotage it simply because they were promised ministerial positions, appointments, or even oil wells. They will sell out the dignity of the North, separate themselves, and oppose the collective decision. Interviewer: This recurring sabotage with insecurity efforts. Do you think there are measures northerners must take to bring real change? Because investigations often reveal that some relevant people in the North are deeply involved, yet they go unpunished. This makes people doubt whether the insecurity even exists or if it’s just propaganda and political games. HE Dikko Radda: To even think like that is self-deception. The country has decayed to the extent that even moving a document from one office to another requires payment. Everything happening here isn’t someone coming from outside countries doing it for us, it is we Nigerians. Informants giving bandits information are often our own relatives, traditional rulers, community leaders, soldiers, and policemen. In most cases, the corrupt ones among them call the bandits to alert them before an operation. It is human nature to do wrong when there is no consequence. Even in foreign countries where we hear there is no corruption, that is not true. Corruption exists, but their laws are strict and apply to everyone, including their leaders. A leader must lead by example. If you want to stop bribery, but someone in government offers you money and you accept it, how can you have the moral authority to punish anyone? If I refuse to take it, you will not do it, and I will have the authority to discipline you. For things to work, leaders must put relationships aside and treat wrongdoing decisively. Interviewer: Let’s talk about the northern economy, especially with insecurity still persistent. Is there a collective solution that can help us survive and boost our region’s economy without discrimination? HE Dikko Radda: What will benefit us is collective decision-making. Our biggest issue is lack of leadership. Leaders of different groups—religious, political, traditional, ideological—are divided. Many attempts have been made to unify the North, but none have succeeded. Ask any northerner today to give you the agenda or blueprint of the North he cannot, because there is none. But go to the Yoruba people, they have an agenda and a clear direction of where they are heading.
