Ordinarily, the herdsmen saga shouldn't have escalated this far if the Northern governors have done the needful. Now that it's the Federal Government's palava, my advice to the Federal Government is to get things done very maturely and not dance around aimlessly!
In my opinion, I think the Federal Government should re-organize the North for Agriculture. Instead of spending Billions on Ruga or any other settlements that the Governors are not willing to accept, I think they should create forests that'll be ever green up North so that the Fulanis won't be kicked around as they are now! I can only imagine how frustrated they are by the rejection they get from fellow Nigerians down South when I read that they wouldn't mind to settle in the deadly forest of Sambisa! What do you think if that happens?
I think the Bokos would be fed fat again to resume strikes against us. This is going by what they say...as per being concerned only with the welfare of their cattle.
It's gonna be like Nigerians abandoned them and the Bokos may show up and strike a deal of protection in exchange for intelligence. Then you shall experience more successful and well coordinate strikes up north from the Bokos...that would be back to square one. Is that what we want???
We must be very careful with what we want and ask for. We shouldn't let petty politics and sentiments over ride our sense of judgement. All these conspiracy theories we formulate or are formulated for does nothing but slow down the process of integration.
It's kind of embarrassing to hear people still talking of a particular ethnic group leaving their land for them. Where is our senses of brotherhood, how can you tag a whole tribe dangerous without hard evidence???
Let's grow up people! We need to wake up to our national life and responsibilities. We are one and must see ourselves as such despite the difference in culture at all times! Unless we do, we can't progress and shall continue to suffer!
God willing, the next post shall be more elaborate! Do have a lovely day!
