We must\u00a0ruthlessly prevent a change of power. We use\u00a0the minorities in the north as\u00a0willing tools and the south\u00a0as a conquered territory and never\u00a0allow them to rule over us and never allow them to\u00a0have control over their future.\u00a0Sir Ahmadu Bello Premier\u00a0Northern Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The\u00a0Parrot Newspaper October 12, 1960.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\nThe above frequently quoted\u00a0statement\u00a0by Sir Ahmadu Bello is the typically mindset of the\u00a0\/Fulani Muslim\u00a0Northerner.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Unfortunately there is just\u00a0one mistake the Northern Nigeria power mongers like Rabiu\u00a0Musa Kwankwaso,\u00a0General Muhammadu Buhari, Atiku Abubukar, Ango Abdullahi,\u00a0Murtala Nyako and\u00a0many others have made.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Which is they unleashed\u00a0their attack dogs the Boko Haram Islamic terrorists too\u00a0early on the Jonathan\u00a0administration.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sir Ahmadu Bello may have\u00a0made the above statements in 1960. But you see, Sir Ahmadu\u00a0Bello was a clever\u00a0man at least on the face of it. He respected his Northern\u00a0Christians compatriot\u00a0and gave them their dues.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As recent as last August,\u00a0General Jerry Useni testified to that. Professor Ishaya Audu, a\u00a0Hausa Christian from Zaria City was his personal<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">physician.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Even during President Shehu\u00a0Shagari government, the former Northern Nigeria was\u00a0monolithic.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Alas all that is gone with\u00a0the wind now. Not since the coming to power of one Major\u00a0General Mohammadu\u00a0Buhari and followed by one evil General called Badamasi\u00a0Babangida the North has\u00a0become fragmented such that more people have been killed in\u00a0the North since\u00a01987 to date than any other time in the Nigerian\u00a0history.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The power mongers\u00a0commissioned Boko Haram Islamic terrorists to destabilise\u00a0the Jonathan\u00a0governments. The facts are all there.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hear them talking; We will\u00a0making the country ungovernable should Goodluck Jonathan\u00a0will the 2011\u00a0presidential election as if it is their birth right to rule\u00a0the other tribes in\u00a0Nigeria perpetually.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Hausa\/Fulani ruled\u00a0Nigeria for 40 years and the North has nothing to show for\u00a0it rather than\u00a0almajiri children, poliomyelitis, Boko Haram, Maitatsine and\u00a0Islamic\u00a0fundamentalism.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As it is now, it is lose, lose\u00a0situation for them. In fact it is even better for them that\u00a0President Goodluck\u00a0Jonatthan should win and continue till 2019.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Niger-Delta militants\u00a0experience during Yaradua tenure is an experience Nigeria\u00a0would not like to\u00a0have again.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Nigeria crude oil output\u00a0dwindled from two and a half million barrels a day to just\u00a0mere five hundred\u00a0thousand.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In a pleural society like\u00a0Nigeria, one group and religion cannot wish to lord it over\u00a0others all the time\u00a0more so they are the least educated.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As it is now, the use of\u00a0Boko Haram by power hungry Northern politicians and Islamic\u00a0preachers have boomerang.\u00a0The former Northern Nigeria is so fragmented that every day\u00a0Boko Haram, Fulani\u00a0and Islamic terrorists are on killing spree\u00a0unabated.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Christian dominated\u00a0like Nasarawa, Plateau, Kaduna, Taraba, Adamawa,\u00a0Benue, Kogi and part of\u00a0Bauchi have been under persistent attack to depopulate the\u00a0Christians who will\u00a0definitely vote for Jonathan in 2015 election.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Whatever it is, the Boko\u00a0Haram pogrom on Northern Nigeria Christians will not affect\u00a0or change the\u00a0outcome of the 2015 presidential.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Igbo nation should start\u00a0preparing to have their turn of the presidency in 2019 if\u00a0Nigeria still exists\u00a0by them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">People that have superiority\u00a0complex must come to the people\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s level and know that\u00a0every citizen has the\u00a0right to lead his or her nation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Power mongers like Rabiu\u00a0Musa Kwankwaso, Atiku Abubukar, General Buhari, Aminu Waziri\u00a0Tambuwal must take\u00a0note.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Is there any reason why APC\u00a0cannot present persons like Adams Oshiomhole or Tunde\u00a0Fashola as their presidential\u00a0candidates if they want to win the 2015 election?
