Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) Advise To “Southerners Wanting To Leave To The North Free To Go” – A Boisterous Pipe Dream
By Dr. Olapade Agoro
Rather than offer any reasonable solutions to the lingering security challenges bloodily confronting the nation, the recent confounding and irritating statement made by Alhaji Aliko Mohammed, Chairman, Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) to the effect that “those southerners wanting to leave the northern parts of the nation are free to go” must be seen the language of a fool talking loud in confusion.
The self deluding Arewa Consultative Forum must be told to their faces that they are actually representing no body than maggots in the cisterns of rottenness.
They are pink elephants dancing wildly in the circus of make beliefs.
Otherwise how on earth would ACF like to be taken as a serious organisation having descended so low into gutter reasoning, insulting and insubordinately giving the federal government conditions to be met “if it truly intends to dialogue with the terrorist sect”
With this type of insalubrious supportive statement to the cause of the blood drinking Dracula boko haram terrorist sect, need we look anywhere else for the wood that keep the fire burning.
Nigeria as presently constitutionally related has no north and south but a strong composition of 36 States and one federal capital, It therefore becomes apt for one to ask those in ACF where their northern Nigeria border line configuration starts from and ends.
One of the major problems situating security challenges to the nation is this pinnacle of shame parade by those drawing us back into the historical fallacies of the past where political power was got on basis of ethnicity, Hausa Igbo or Yoruba and or religious bigotry of Muslims and Christianity.
Interestingly a lot of these people in ACF loved and married southerners particularly Yoruba woman with whom they have cohabitated for years and with whom they have large numbers of children making it almost impossible to actually decide and decode whom a real northern and or southerner is.
Crude oil the economic main stay of our existence as a nation comes from the south. President Goodluck Jonathan, Commander in Chief of the armed forces is an Ijaw from the oil producing southern part of the nation.
It behoves that if those southerners now being killed and maimed in the northern part of the country by animals in human skin are to take up the advise of the paper tiger ACF, Jonathan and the crude oil would not be left behind.
Southern, sweet, beautiful looking, highly intelligent and enduring women and their children born by to the likes of Adamu Chiroma, Ado Bayero, Abubakar Atiku, Theophilus Danjuma, lbrahim Babangida, et al must have to come home back to us.
Fuel Subsidy, uneconomically pumping of crude oil all the way from Warri to Kaduna refinery, selling PMS at equalisation price of Naira 97 from Lagos to Abuja, Sokoto, Kano, Kaduna, Maiduguri and all over the country must also have to go in the spirit of equity and justice.
Milking the nation dry members of the ACF that can not even proffer solutions to the mirage of problems facing our peoples in the northern part of the country and a lot of whom the likes of suffering, dehumanised and deprived of rights youths would prefer to see dead for life to be better should now know where to draw their curtains on national issues.
The fact that we have too many issues of commonality gluing us together as peoples and a nation should explain why reckless tongues must be put in check for the unity of our dear country to be sustained.
Our resolve should now be for the indivisible unity of Nigeria at all cost.
Our language should now be, I am proud to be a Nigerian, one nation, one country under one God Almighty.
The entire nationhood of Nigeria, north, south, east and west, should realistically and nationalistically be seen now joining hands and forces with the federal government to defeat our common enemies, corruption, critical mass unemployment, high rate of road accidents, mans wickedness to man and the maddening insurgent crowds called by the satanic name “boko haram”.
It should not be Goodluck Jonathan we see in front of us to attack and destroy but Nigeria our dear country to be loved, honoured, protected and defended.

I wish to use this medium to appeal to the editors at Sahara Reporters to douse the tension in our polity by discouraging the publicaation of articles and comments that are ladden with diatribes such as has been the case of late. It is about time people statrted to use clean and decent language to pass across their grievances instead of aggravating an already bad situation. Thank you.

DR. Agoro, you are talking in the same vein as the ACF instead of offering a genuine de trablized solution to the myriad problems facing the nation. Let me remind you that the oil belongs to Niger Delta which happens to be in the South. But I bet you everything I owned that if North and South is separated there will not be peace in the South. Want to take the bet?

Our resolve should now be to fight at all cost to seperate nigeria. nigeria is in tarters because you people fought at all cost to keep it one.A colonial official,Harold Smith says.
When we assessed Nigeria, this was what we found in the southern region; strength, intelligence, determination to succeed. the East is good in business and technology, the west is good in administration and commerce, but it was a pity we planned our agenda to give power "at all cost" to the northerner. They seemed to be submissive and stupid of a kind. Our mission was accomplished by destroying the opposition at all fronts.

In the beggining they relied on the hausa/fulani to keep their colony. they relied on the hausa/fulani not because of their cleverness or inteligency but because they were STUPID and SUBMISSIVE to the colonia master. they were ready to sign offff nigeria for any price. today, the same huasa/fulani is fighting the establishment (nigeria) seeking for sharia law. i am personally happy with that. they gave them weapon, encouraged them to join the army, now they are using those weapons to fight them. they are fighting the same establishment (nigeria) they were giving weapon to protect and keep nigeria one. the hausa/fulani are tired because they have also realize they need independent. they want to have many nigeria where others practice their religion while others practice their culture.

The north I knew, are the most compassionate human on earth. Why call Ibos name.You failed to realize that all human are made same by GOD and life is sacrosanct to be taken by another.Because of your myopism, you failed to realize that any doctrine, teaching, believe, faith that subsumed wholly, your common senses given to you by Allah, should and must be discarded.
Wipe off hatred, open your eyes as our elites in north and south of both Christians and Muslims were all interwoven by marriage and sharing of our natural and national cake, only at war on TV’s and dailies, while we masses kill ourselves.
You ask the southerners to leave. Tell me who among our ancestors ever grew out from your claimed northern land, like the trees? We only abode where we find ourselves, north or south, Nigeria is ONE!! A house divided will fall! And don’t let this house fall.
The only enemy that must fall and die in Nigeria is CORRUPTION

ANYWAY, EVERY REGION HAS ITS SECURITY PROBLEMS. FOR IBOS TO TAKE BACK THEIR FAMILIES IS NOT AN OPTION. THE STATISTICAL CHANCE THAT THEY OR THEIR FAMILY WILL BE KILLED OR KIDNAPPED IS HIGHER IN THE SOUTHEAST. IGBOS BEING HIGHLY INTELLIGENT, AND WIZARDS IN STATISTICAL ANALYSIS, MIN-MAX SOLUTIONS, RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING, DECIDED TO IGNORE THE IGBO ELDERS CALL TO RETURN THEIR FAMILY. LAST TIME I CHECKED MY TWO IBO BUSINESS PARTNERS AND THE FAMILY OF ONE DECEASED ARE STAYING PUT WITH THEIR FAMILY. LAST TIME THEY DARED TO GO FOR CHRISTMAS ONE WAS KILLED AND TWO WERE KIDNAPPED FOR WHICH EACH HAD TO PAY N500,000 AS RANSOME. YOU SEE THE TRUTH IS WE NEED EACH OTHER!

Dr wake up the south never saw anything good with the north. It's only in the north that a Yoruba woman will be elected senator.

This world is a very difficult place to live. Otherwise what does people expected the ACF to say to the southerners? Beg them to stay in the north? Did they bring them? If they decided to leave let them leave all well and good. The Ibos as confused as they always are said that their women and children should go back to the east and live behind the men to depend their wealth. Please they should carry their wealth and move. We don't want them in our area let them go and sell their fake products to their people including their robbery and prostitution. Good riddance to bad rubbish!!!!

Someone needs to tell you and your people the truth. Dr. Agoro served that purpose. I only wished there are more people like him even among those in the ACF. Get yourself some education so you can comprehend and appreciate a constructive criticism when you read one, because right now, you're off the mark!

Dr. Olapade Agoro since when has the ACF become a representative of the North? All this diatribe against one another has obsfucated the reality of life in Nigeria.The poor in the North, south West, South East and whereever is pauperised by ONE of his own NOT a demon form "Them"! You know it so please allow the poor to understand how their lives can improve instead of piling up this vitriol and hatred. OIL at N97 is certainly Not a privelege to a Nigerian, NO,no matter how you want to blame the North, it is EXPENSIVE because of the THIEVING ELITE that have perpetually kept us at war with one onother and methinks you are ONE OF THEM from your write up!

Where there is no vision my people perish. Happily, the where, in this case also means nations and tribal clubs like arewa. Here perish also implies death to those walking aimlessly with the ideas that boko haram represents among the fulanis. So its time Arewa aka boko haram is told to call for a national confab on the way forward. This has nothing to do with normadic education and all that rubbish. The nigerian constitution does not recognize north and south of Ciroma and buhari. It talks about the 6 geo political entities. If arewa can live without community so be it. Its time we arrange to discuss our future-enough of the threats from arewa-happily most of them are fulanis from niger republic, mali and chad.

I am a Northerner but I am disappointed by the utterance of my so called leader-so called because I never made him my leader.
How can you make the remark you made.If you can't guarantee the security of people living in your territory, just shut up and not say anything.
Come to think of it and lets be realistic with ourselves. With that remark you are only calling for a break up of the nation, and if it happens I am sure looking forward to it.
The bane of our problem in the North is using religion to perpetrate dastard acts of violence and wanton killings.

Well said! It'll be difficult to find a better written opinion on the subject matter.The whole concept of State of origin or region (North, East, West, and South)MUST be constitutionally discharged for the nation can truly advance. Your description of the ACF and its perceived role(s), although colorful, is justifiable. Let's hope members of the group have the presence of mind to heed your call.

I am Confused
Submitted by tonsoyo (not verified) on February 3, 2012 - 15:08.
Dr. Agoro,
I understand where you are coming from but you are confusing issues. You wrote:
"Nigeria as presently constitutionally related has no north and south but a strong composition of 36 States and one federal capital, It therefore becomes apt for one to ask those in ACF where their northern Nigeria border line configuration starts from and ends"
The you went ahead to write:
"It behoves that if those southerners now being killed and maimed in the northern part of the country by animals in human skin are to take up the advise of the paper tiger ACF, Jonathan and the crude oil would not be left behind"
The second quote is the botomline. The North has thrown down the gaunlet, it is left for the South to pick it up.
