BEFORE NIGERIA BURNS
Once again many are stoking the fire that will set Nigeria ablaze.
The arrogant North is once again bestriding Nigeria like an overlord seeking less than patriotic alliances between so called majority tribes only to ensure that presumed second class citizens remain second class.
The easy money worshipping West that measures all things by what can be grabbed is at it again dancing beautifully to tantalizing tunes played by self appointed saviours focussed more on how to cage other tribes or persons who have the audacity to differ.
The East, always caught in its balloon of being the smartest on the land is also at it again issuing ultimatum to people they know that in their stubbornness are not best equipped to see fire ahead before they step into it.
Now the IBO's are suffering what no other Nigerian tribe is suffering. North east is not suffering under the arrogance of the North West. The Ibos are now suffering what the minorities have not suffered in the past even in the first Republic not to talk of current government of my supporters, for my supporters and by supporters.
Let it be told, Goodluck Jonathan is from the Niger Delta but de facto he was at best Ijaw and Ibo president. Any one who believes that the wishes of the Urhobos, Edo's. etc were taken care cause Jonathan was President needs quick rethink. In fact, it was hoped that, like it happened for Obasanjo, Jonathan will find his personal bearing after being relieved of the hot breath of the so-called first class citizens of Nigeria aka those who belong to Hausa Fulani; Yoruba or IBO tribes.
That did not happen, thank God. To God be the glory because the fire that is now being stoked would have been one a minority could not be the best to handle it or perish with it.
Soon, all the so called first class citizens of Nigeria will realize that for Nigeria to remain one and indivisible there must be no second class citizens or tribes; not even by faith but one nation brought together by God for His Own purposes.
Hence, to many there is no need to fear for the future of Nigeria. Let it be heated up if it be the Will of God and it will break too like even India did if that is His Will. Before then however, there are so many lessons we Nigerians are soon to learn. Of that, there is no question.
