If the Army were to be replicating what they usually do in the South-South, South-East, and the Middle-Belt, then the whole of North-West and North-East would have been erased from the world map.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">An unverified report that one or two soldiers are missing, isn&#8217;t enough to burn down an entire town in Bayelsa state. Can that be done in any part of the North-East or North West?<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">As of the moment, communities in Azagbene town, in Bayelsa state, are counting their loses and naming them four by four, because the ever unfriendly Nigerian Army to the people of the Southern part of Nigeria and the Middle-Belt, invaded their communities because they can&#8217;t find some of their colleague that perhaps are having fun on the other side of the Atlantic, who knows? And as usual, they left sorrows, tears and blood (their regular trade marks). May the soul of Fela Anikulapo Kuti, forever rest in peace.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Just recently, a captain in the Nigerian Army, and several officers were ambushed and murdered by Boko Haram, did we hear of any burning down of any community in any state in the North? The answer is no. What was even far fascinating was that same Army released another 155 Boko Haram members and enlisted them in the Army, another Army chief said they same Boko Haram members can become presidents in the future.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">But in the South and Middle-Belt, you kill them, and burn their communities with impunity. Its only in Nigeria that the chief of Army staff will send his men to invade a state, kill and burn houses without the Governor of the state knowing. The said Governor will only hear and watch it on TV. Do you know why we are handled like this? Do you know why they don&#8217;t care about us? Do you know why a fulani can kill, and a Boko Haram member can bomb and be pardoned almost immediately, while an Ijaw, Igbo, Efik, Ibibio, will be killed just for raising a flag? have you ever bothered to ask why the fulanis move around with daggers and AKs? Keep reading. #Wemustcontinue<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">It boils down to one sentence; YOU ARE A SLAVE! e pain am oh!<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Did that hurt you? If it didn&#8217;t hurt you, then read it again and again, then reflect on it. YOU ARE A SLAVE for the last time, and slaves don&#8217;t have rights at all, they may be left with a little privilege, but the moment they want to cross lines and flex muscles with the masters, they will be cut to size. Whenever you encounter the truth, it will hurt and tear you up, then it will heal you.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">If you think this slave and master thing started today, then read this. After the counter coup of 1966, in July, \u00a0the North wanted to leave Nigeria completely. They went as far as hoisting a flag, and called the move &#8220;Araba&#8221;, meaning &#8220;secession&#8221;. This people were never shot nor forced to remain in Nigeria, they were begged by Gowon and the British to stay. Less than one year, may 30the 1967, Biafra was declared as a Republic, and all hell was let loose. Why? How dare you as a SLAVE ask for a separate state?<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">No Southern or Middle-Belt State has the right to own a vigilante or any armed group. But the masters have Hisba, Boko Haram, ISWA, Fulanis Herdsmen, etc. all are armed to the teeth. Wike was almost removed because he wanted a neighborhood watch, Kanu was almost killed because he began BSS, is the OPC still functional? Tell me any Armed group in the South and Middl-Belt that is not hunted? Did the masters not plan to bring Vigilante their selves to the people of the South and Middle-Belt?<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Bellow are the words of Sir Ahmadu Bello, Former Saurdana of Sokoto:<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cThe new nation called Nigeria should be an estate of our great grandfather Othman Dan Fodio. We must ruthlessly prevent a change of power. We use the minorities in the north as willing tools and the south as conquered territory and never allow them to rule over us and never allow them to have control over their future\u201d.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">You are actually a slave but you don&#8217;t know it. The South and Middle-Belt are conquered territories please. Everything in it, including the lands, resources, women, etc. all belong to the fulani ruling class, Northern Muslims and some Southern slave masters. Did i fail to mention that its also another fact?<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Why is it that the Gold in the North, and other resources are controlled by Northerners, but the Southerners can&#8217;t even have access to their Oil, same Northern Muslims control it. What does that tell you? Those who may wanna argue this, are doing so to have a sense of belonging, but the real thing is that we can never be in charge because we are not equal to them, they keep telling us that without remorse.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The question now is, are we prepared to fight this SLAVE AND MASTER RELATIONSHIP, and become FREE MEN, or are we to die in perpetuity and leave worst fate to our unborn? The choice is ours, Men they said are the masters of their destinies!<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Bandits kill hundreds in Zamfara, Fulanis kill thousands and abduct hundreds on high ways, Boko Haram murder Nigerian soldiers at will, and the only way for the government to stop them is to pay the bandits and fulanis 160 billion, while pardoning Boko Haram members, reintegrating them back into the society and enlisting them in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":22660,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"spay_email":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false},"categories":[7],"tags":[5562,435,34],"class_list":["post-22659","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-opinion","tag-azagbene","tag-bayelsa-state","tag-boko-haram"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"http:\/\/newsroom247.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/azabgen.jpg","jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p4oswh-5Tt","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/newsroom247.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22659","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/newsroom247.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/newsroom247.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/newsroom247.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/newsroom247.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=22659"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/newsroom247.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22659\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22662,"href":"http:\/\/newsroom247.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22659\/revisions\/22662"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/newsroom247.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/22660"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/newsroom247.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=22659"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/newsroom247.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=22659"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/newsroom247.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=22659"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
