Northerners Wake Up !!! By Samuel Peter Aruwan One
is being challenged to say something, regarding the religious and ethnic
crises that occurred almost frequently in Within
all these years of following events, one have discovered that, basically
our problem is our insincerity in handling issues, we tend to be biased
and turn blind-eye to pictures even blind could see. For so many years
our people have been divided along religious and ethnic lines. In the
process we kill and butcher ourselves, we burnt our houses, envied each
other. We have done all sorts of things that goes contrary to our
religion, cultures and values, yet we say we are worshiping God. Where
is the Godliness in our dealings? It is indeed a pitty for us, we see
our young able persons with disabilities in all parts of There
is need for the poor Northerners to know that, the so-called elite are
not with us, they are always together be them Muslims or Christians,
they don’t have us in their mind, their children gets better future,
but we the children of the commonman have nothing at stock, absolutely
nothing but garment of shame. I
know many will not be happy with me, but the truth is what one is
saying. We should think of what is it that we have achieved within all
these years of mass killings. It is our poverty that held us together
while their riches cemented them also. We should respect one another,
accommodate one another, embrace each other, think of how to change the
present situation to a better one than this culture of hatred, injustice
and inhumanity. Doing all this will once again would bring back our lost
glories, which has been erased in our minds. Remember our destiny lies
in our hands. The time to change is now or never, for opportunity comes
but once There is certainly hope for us seeing the likes of Rev. Father's Matthew Hassan Kukah, Peter Bauna Tanko, Paul Mamza, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi,Dr Jibrin Baba Adamu and Prof. Steve Ogah Abah, who have been working towards the peaceful co-existence of our people. The time to act is now. |
