The<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">yesterday morning in question was Saturday the 20th of September.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I was just moaning to Ado about how the BBC Hausa service refused to air<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">my view about the 2015 election despite many several calls to the number<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">they provided for listeners to call them.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We were just discussing generally on national politics, international<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">politics and sundry affairs.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our argument was hot, objective yet respectfully.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ado and I agreed that the International Community neglected Nigeria at the<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">mercy of Boko Haram most probably because we are black people and hence<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">they concentrated they energy on Syria and Iraq.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ado and I also agreed that the black race has itself to blame for its woes<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">since they value the foreign religions of Islam and Christianity on which<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">ideology they now kill fellow blacks.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ado and I also agreed that the adaption of Goodluck Jonathan by their PDP<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">is a democratic practise in organised democracies where the incumbent is<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">always give the \u201cThe right of first refusal\u201d<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ado and I also agreed that the insecurity in the Northern part of Nigeria<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">was created by the political class in order to enhance their chances of<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">grapping power in 2015 but is now hidden under the cloak of Islam to<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">enhance its potency knowing very well how gullible most Northern Nigeria<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Muslims are.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ado and I also agreed that more states should created to enhance<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">development particularly considering the creation and opening of new<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">airports in Gombe, Uyo, Birnin Kebbi, Asaba and lately Dutse in Jigawa<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">States.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We also agreed that where new states are created, most of the new states<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">will create state universities which will enhance higher education in<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Nigeria.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">More states will open up more rural areas if we consider how rural places<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">like Dutse, Damaturu, Osogbo, Jalingo, and particularly Lafia were before<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">they were made states capital.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ado and I equally agreed on the need for referendum in Nigeria especially<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">on our type of federalism considering how successful and peaceful it was<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">in Scotland.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The differences between Ado and I came to the fore whether elections<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">should hold in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa States in 2015 or not!\u00a0 I think<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">that was why my friend called me to check the \u2018Boko Haram map\u2019 in Sunday<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Trust as it were.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">But why Mallam Ado decided to call the Daily Trust the official newspaper<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">of Boko Haram, I have no idea.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you seek my opinion, I will rather call the BBC Hausa service the<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">official broadcast media of Boko Haram.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I am sure if the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) top management are<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">aware of how their Hausa service section is actively promoting the Boko<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Haram Islamic terrorist activity through massive propaganda on their<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">airways, they will have a re-think about BBC Hausa Service considering<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">their Prime Minister David Cameron\u2019s tough stand against terrorism.\u00a0 BBC<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">top management must act now before it is too late.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Coming to our disagreement about the 2015 general election, whether it<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">should be conducted or not in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa State was very<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">interesting, frank and educative. We were both better informed after our<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">frank and polite discussion. That is the power of dialogue. The person<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">with superior reasoning and better well marshalled point will always carry<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">the day. No need to use violence.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Both of us had listened to the arguments of Atiku Abubukar, Mohammed Ali<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ndume who were insisting that elections must hold in those areas under the<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Islamic Caliphate of Boko Haram. How that will be possible only Atiku<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Abubukar, Ali Ndume and probably God will tell us.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">As at today 21st September 2014, 350, 000 people have been displaced from<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">their homes in Yobe State. 650,000 people have been displaced from their<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">homes in Borno State.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">While there is no exact number of persons displaced from their homes in<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Adamawa State, the Daily Trust newspaper of Monday the 8th September 2014<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">reported that Michika town being occupied by the Boko Haram insurgence has<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">the largest population in Adamawa State and the town is now virtually<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">deserted.
