North has already destroyed itself
“The North has become a
region of endless funerals and
perpetual bereavement.
Bandits in the North have
become a state. They impose
fines and taxes, send notices,
control spaces, determine life
and death and operate without
challenge” – Senator Shehu
Sani of Kaduna State, March
2020
I
wish that historical Lord
Lugard and the King or
Queen of England who
granted him the powers to rule
and ruin our lives are alive
today to behold the explosions
being set off by the time bomb
they planted in this part of
Africa in 1914. History does
not tell us its alternatives. In
other words, we don’t know
what would have happened if
amalgamation had not
occurred. But, we are now
beginning to see the
beginning of the end of the
“geographical expression”
(apologies to the late Chief
Awolowo) they formed and
named Nigeria by the satraps’
concubine.
More than a century after,
the feudal, mostly Islamic
North, backward, slow to
adapt to changes, mostly
lacking in any interest in
universal education and
bereft of vision, remains
relatively just that. Just about
any major calamity impeding
progress and tending towards
the destruction of the disaster
waiting to happen is now
located squarely in the North
whose elite have, for too long
lived, under the illusion that
the region could increasingly
breed millions of almajiris
side-by-side with the selfish
tiny political and feudal
minority without dire

consequences. Well, the
“judgment days” are here.
The almajiris, hitherto docile
and gratefully accepting the
crumbs from the elite’s tables,
have literally turned the tables
against their masters –
including Sani – who, now
dumped from the buffet table,
discovered wisdom which
previously escaped him and
his friends and associates for
years. This article could easily
have been titled, LESSONS
FROM A SUPER-
TERRORIST, and it would still
have been apt. In my library
is a little known book titled,
HITLER’S SECRET BOOK,
and written by the late
German monster himself.
One thing I have learnt from
my adventures into history is
the fact that when the major
topic on the national agenda
is war, then go and read what
war-mongers think about it.
What is wrecking Nigeria,
especially the North, and will
continue for years to come, is
TERRORISM. So, the first
port of call is a super-terrorist
– Adolf Hitler, 1889-1945. It
will amaze our leaders and
readers to know how much of
what had developed in the
North since the rise of Boko
Haram in 2009 could have
been predicted by reading
Hitler’s book. The FG in
particular might also pick up
some ideas about what to
expect next. Finally, they just
might discover how to
combat it – for the sake of our
country Nigeria. I wish them
luck; although it is doubtful
that those in charge of our fate
now can ever learn anything
useful. People who have lost
the appetite for reading have
almost always lost the
Leaving the country
in the hands of the

affairs after

wickedness
appetite for learning, for
thinking deeply and for
finding novel solutions to
serious problems. The brain,
like any organ, rots – if not
actively used – as is the case
within Abuja’s top
government circles. Buhari, as
the Commander-In-
Condolence Delivery, C-I-CD,
is contented to just send
condolence messages to the
bereaved without an
accompanying message of
hope that terror will abate.
There is no discernible plan.
He is an example of what
David Halberstam, in his bestselling
book, titled, THE
BRIGHTEST AND THE
BEST, called “the best general
for another war.” General
Buhari (retd), clearly tired, is
leading this war effort so
badly, it is pathetic. He is
actually now part of the
problem and it is increasingly
difficult to see him as part of
the solution. That is bad news
for all of us. “An increase in
the population which finally
no longer stands any relation
to the productive capacity of
its own soil to support life” –
Hitler p 22. That, according
to Hitler, follows from
prolonged periods when a
people or nation or parts of it
regard “large families as a
blessing rather than a
burden.” Only recently, the
Federal House of
Representatives was treated to
a show put up by a buffoon. A
member from one of the
northern states brought his
four wives for exhibition of his
prowess. He announced that
he already had 19 children
and he was just starting
because his father had several
wives and over 80 children.
He did not tell us how many
of the 80 siblings are
almajiris. That is the sort of
lunacy to which the South is
yoked – like indentured slaves.
Eventually, as Hitler had
warned us, territorial
expansion becomes
imperative for those who have
exhausted the limits of their
capacity to provide for
themselves within their own
domains. I will come to it later.
But, the rapid and violent
expansion of herdsmen
communities, all over
Nigeria, in the last four years
and nine months, is more
deliberate than most of us
realise and it is being
encouraged at the topmost
level of government. The body
language says it all but what
is being said to southerners
and Middle Belt people can
only be understood by a few.
The C-I-C is alive and well in
Abuja. But, first let us trace the
history of how we got here and
how goddamned Lugard and
the British got us here.
POPULATION WAS THE
CAUSE OF OUR DESTINY
Preparatory to their
departure, our evil-minded
colonial masters had a
strategy for making the
contraption they glued
together to form Nigeria
eventually unworkable – an
accident waiting to happen.
First, they conducted a bogus
census. Whereas everybody in
the far better educated South,
Christian or Muslim, had to
be sighted to be counted, the
same was not true of the North.
Women and young girls in
harems were counted sight
unseen. My eldest brother, who
was born in Zaria, was one of
the enumerators. The
Megida of each primitive
shanty stood in front of the
place and issued a figure – so
many wives and kids. The
figures were accepted as the
truth. The problem was, the
young people in the
communities knew how
many of their age groups were
in each shanty. My brother,
who spoke Hausa fluently,
knew that the figures he was
forced to record were grossly
exaggerated because the
District Heads and Serikis
had conducted a campaign
misleading the people that
money would be distributed
SUNDAY VANGUARD, FEBRUARY 21, 2021,PAGE 9
per head. So, the more people
in the shanty the more money
could be expected. The North
was declared to have a larger
population than the South.
That made Nigeria unique in
the history of the world – a
country in which the arid zone
had more people than the
luxuriant and well-watered
South. It was a deliberate
ploy. England was just getting
ready to play its biggest jokers.
Armed with a bogus census,
political constituencies were
created and the North was
given the majority. The
country was handed to the
region with less than five per
cent literacy compared to
already close to 50 per cent in
the South. Leaving the country
in the hands of the least
competent people to manage
its affairs after independence
was a master-stroke of
wickedness. But, they were not
finished with us just yet. While
southerners were encouraged
to attend schools, northerners
were urged to go into the Army
with the ominous words “who
controls the army controls the
nation”. That was a campaign
which the late Sardauna of
Sokoto, Premier of Northern
Region, carried to all the
schools – primary and
secondary – in the North.
Meanwhile, Awolowo and
Azikiwe enrolled us in
schools. The Army was
actually intended to safeguard
northern elite interests and not
to protect the nation against
external aggression because
none of our closest neighbours
– Cameroun, Benin Republic,
Chad, Niger, Sao Tome, etc –
was strong enough to attack
us. The first coup of 1966,
which was quickly crushed,
came as a surprise. It was a
temporary setback for the
British. Thereafter, political
and religious leaders in the
core North – North-East and
North-West – went about
encouraging their people to
breed like bed bugs – the more
the better. Incidentally, most
of the Middle Belt was left out
of the race to over-populate
the earth – mainly because of
the higher percentage of
Christians in the old Benue/
Plateau zone. When the oil
bonanza started in 1973 and
federalism had given way to
unitary government under
General Gowon, population
became the primary basis for
sharing crude oil revenue. The
lion’s share went North; the
left-over came to the Niger
Delta. It never ceases to
amaze me when Niger Delta
people welcome Gowon as
they do. Making a hero out of
somebody who enslaved the
people is the clearest sign that
the black man is indeed
mentally retarded. The man
took 50 per cent derivation
from them and gave only one
and a half per cent in the worst
case of barefaced robbery in
history and yet they still clap
for him? Gowon established
the template for the economic
enslavement of the South –
which exists till today. If I am
an Ijaw or Ibibio, or Ilaje,
Gowon would never be my
hero. Never! He started the
injustice which is still the basis
for federally-allocated
revenue till today. It might
shock our readers to know
that Gowon did not act alone.
The Federal Commissioner
(Minister) for Finance during
the Gowon administration
and the author of the atrocious
edicts which resulted in the
economic rape of the South
was none other than our own
dear late Chief Obafemi
Awolowo. Papa helped to
enslave us despite his known
position on true federalism.
We might never know why
Awolowo did it. But, we
cannot deny his complicity in
the financial crimes against
the South. He and Gowon
took our 50% and gave back
to us as derivation a mere
1.5% as federating units.
Lagos now generates about
60 per cent of Value Added
Tax, VAT, revenue. It gets back
less than four per cent!! But,
without realising it, Gowon
also set the events which will
destroy the North eventually.
He encouraged population
explosion and idleness. He
probably never knew about
Ghandhi’s warning regarding
the things that would destroy
a nation.

Do you really believe His word?
Brethren, we’ll start off by
asking a question that
many people will answer in
the affirmative.
Do you really believe the
Word? You are likely to say, if
I don’t believe, I won’t be a
Christian.
The answer is deeper than
that. The true test of your
belief is actually a test of your
faith. It’s easy to say, “I am a
Christian. I go to church, I
serve God, I’m
knowledgeable in the word of
God’. These words are 50% of
the answer to the question.
The answer to the question
lies in how you respond to a
major challenge in your life.
You may have been waiting
to have a child for years, five
years, seven years even 10
years. If your attitude is let
the LORD do it when he wants,
or you begin to say, I am tired
of praying, or you say, my
parents never waited, why
should I be waiting? Once you
allow these thoughts in your
life, Brethren, you are not a
believer. It doesn’t matter if
your go to church 10 times a
day.
Let’s consider examples of
one or two persons that
believed the Word and others
that had doubts.
Daddy Abraham is the best
example. Genesis 16 vs. 1: “
Now Sarai Abram’s wife bare
him no children……”.
Abram was 99 years
according to Genesis 17 vs. 1:
“ And when Abram was ninety
years old and nine, the LORD
appeared to Abram, and said
unto him, I am the Almighty
God; walk before me, and be
thou perfect”. In verses 5&6
of the same chapter the LORD
said, “ Neither shall thy name
any more be called Abram,
but thy name shall be
Abraham; for a father of many
nations have I made thee.
And I will make thee
exceeding fruitful, and I will
make nations of thee, and
kings shall come out of thee”.
If you and I were in
Abraham’s shoes, we would
have our doubts.
It’s human to have doubts
but those in whom the Spirit
of the Lord is, have their belief
strengthened by faith.
A good example of a
Is your faith strong
enough for you to
discard the medical
report from your
thoughts and hold on
to the Word of God?
believer that had doubts is
found in Sarah, the wife of
Abraham after they
unknowingly entertained the
Lord. Genesis 18 vs. 10-13 “
And he said, I will certainly
return unto thee according to
the time of life; and, lo, Sarah
thy wife shall have a son, And
Sarah heard it in the tent door,
which was behind him.
Now Abraham and Sarah
were old and well stricken in
age, and it ceased to be with
Sarah after the manner of
women. Therefore Sarah
laughed within herself,
saying, After I am waxed old
shall I have pleasure, my lord
being old also?
And the LORD said unto
Abraham, Wherefore did
Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I
of a surety bear a child, which
am old?”.
Note - she laughed within
herself. In other words,
though she was a believer, she
doubted the Word.
Doctors may have told you
that the eggs you produce as
a woman is weak, you may
even have been told that you
have reached menopause like
Sarah, or were you told that
your fallopian tubes are
blocked, or that your
husband’s semen is lifeless, it
doesn’t matter the report that
medical science has given
you.
What matters is what you
believe? Do you believe the
word of God in Genesis 1 vs.
28 “ And God blessed them,
and God said unto them, Be
fruitful, and multiply, and
replenish the earth, and
subdue it: and have dominion
over the fish of the sea, and
over the fowl of the air, and
over every living thing that
moveth upon the earth”.
Is your faith strong enough
for you to discard the medical
report from your thoughts
and hold on to the Word of
God? If indeed you are a true
Believer, that medical report
should make you move close
to God and remind him of his
promise to your. Do you know
that God gave Abraham
conditions that he must fulfill?
Genesis 17 vs. 1&2 attests to
this: “ And when Abram was
ninety years old and nine, the
LORD appeared to Abram,
and said unto him, I am the
Almighty God; walk before
me, and be thou perfect.
And I will make my
covenant between me and
thee, and will multiply thee
exceedingly”. Are you
walking with the LORD? Are
you striving to be perfect?
Simply put, are you living
your life in accordance with
the Word of God?
Are you not giving in to
pressure from your friends
and parents that you should
go and impregnate another
woman outside your
marriage?
If you walk with God, the
LORD, He will give you the
physical and spiritual strength
to disregard such pressure.
Brethren, bear in mind that
all parts of your body are
created by God and not
medical science.
Therefore, God can make
possible what doctors have
told you is impossible.
I once met a lady that
doctors said, the husband’s
semen was weak and the
woman’s chances of
producing fertile eggs was
about 40% given her age.
Scientifically speaking, the
doctors were correct.
However, our God is
beyond science. He is able to
make the barren fruitful at
anytime. Age is no barrier to
a miracle in the presence of
the Lord.
The couple I referred to now
have three children, including
a set of twins.
May the LORD strengthen
your faith and reward your
faith as you hold on to HIM
in Jesus name.
Last week, I stumbled on the
story of a couple that had been
waiting to have children for
six years but according to
them, God embarrassed them
with five babies at once.
The woman speaking on
Punch online said, “ People
used to call me barren before,
they used to insult me but I
thank God today, that God
embarrassed with five babies
at a go. Two boys, three girls.
What else can I ask from God?
I really, really, thank God for
this great gift that he gave to
me.
Brethren, what if the man
had fallen into the
temptations of impatient inlaws
and unfriendly friends?
What if the woman too had
cheated on her husband in a
bid to have children? To do
any of these may mean
shutting your doors against
the miracle of God. The
testimony they now have may
elude them.
Even if you have doubts like
Sarah, the merciful God can
rise up for you and you will
become a mother.
Sister, Brother, hold on to
God. I see the Lord embarrass
you with your heart’s desires
before this year ends in Jesus
name.Ensure you have an
improved relationship with
the Lord that is never late.
I see your rejoice soon.
Be reminded that 40 days
fasting period in the Christian
calendar started on
February17, Ash Wednesday.
As you key into the fasting
and prayer, make your
demand specific before the
Lord.
God be with you.
