Northerners Won’t Succumb To Intimidation In Southwest, NEF Warns by adenigga(m): 7:29am On Mar 06, 2021 |
The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) has said that northerners living in the Southwest geo-political zone of the country would not succumb to threats and harassment by some groups and individuals in the region. NEF in a statement yesterday by its spokesperson, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, claimed that some private individuals and groups in the Southwest were being tempted to harass and intimidate other citizens. While describing the activities of such groups as illegal, the forum noted that northerners would not accept to live and pursue their livelihoods in the Southwest only with their approval. The forum, however, advised northerners to continue to live in peace with their host communities and explore all avenues to improve better inter-communal relations. The forum also hailed the decision of the leadership of the Amalgamated Union of Traders and Cattle Breeders Association Union (AUTCBAU) to suspend its blockade of food supply to the South. The statement read in part: “The Forum welcomes the decision of the Federal Government to address a major and prolonged grievance of transporters over multiple taxation and extortion on federal highways along the country’s eastern corridor all the way from Borno through Adamawa to the states in the Southeast and South-south. “These illegal checkpoints numbering more than 100 had been pronounced as illegal, yet they had been tolerated by all authorities. Their effects had been to stifle trade and massively raise the cost of transporting food items and cattle. The Forum hopes that this decision will be enforced comprehensively and immediately. “The Forum is disturbed by the visible involvement of a private citizen identified as supporting threats to security of northern communities in the Southwest in the discussions preceding the resolution of the strike, and the mention of a number of people who had been instrumental to creating intense hostility around northerners living in the Southwest.” “Indeed, some of the persons mentioned as having been contacted to give assurances to northern traders, herders and transporters have been fingered by the police as being involved in criminal activities against northerners in the Southwest. “The Forum rejects the idea that the Federal Government or its agents could encourage the outsourcing of its duty and responsibility to protect citizens to individuals who are neck-deep in encouraging violence and corruption of communal co-existence. “The Forum would rather believe that the involvement of these people was contrived to render its purported intervention valueless. In any case, the involvement of private citizens who represent existential threats to citizens in an exercise designed to give them assurances that they could be safe is abhorrent and unacceptable.” Source: https://m.guardian.ng/News/Northerners-wont-succumb-to-intimidation-in-Southwest-NEF-warns

Bornu2ndson: What I hate about this matter is Anytime Northern elders or northerners makes comments regarding Yoruba people Yoruba people on media online tv will quickly change narratives to include southern Nigeria’s Meanwhile their masters is always consistent with the word Yoruba in their admonishing..

youngeagle:It's all political. The Fulanis are scared of being isolated as they have seen in recent weeks that no one is applauding their activities. Even their most closest allies in the middlebelt are starting to distance themselves from the Hausa/Fulani/Kanuri alliance in the North. They are scared that they will be isolated just as they were before Buhari brought them back into mainstream politics and they see Yorubas as the brains behind their possible isolation. 6 Likes 1 Share |

The SouthWest elders should reply them quickly. They should warn them that we will not tolerate the repeat of what happened at Shasha and ibarapa. They should use that opportunity notify the FG the value of damages cause by the Northern Criminals who set houses ablaze and killed a Dr, a pregnant women and a cadet. The family of these Law abiding South Westerners must get justice. Also let the North know that we will no longer accept the dumping of thousands of untrained teenagers in our society You claimed the almajiri system is your way of life how would you give birth to so many children and dump them on the street from age 0-15 and when they are 16 you ship them to the South where an average family makes sure their children receives at least secondary education, learn a skill become self employed or gained employment. If your so call religious culture is the way you like to live why are you shipping your liabilities to us in the e south. There has been increasing crime in the South because of the quality of people you are shipping to us and our streets are littered with beggars some of which you have made useless with your hypocritical sharia laws. You cut off their arms or legs and ship them down south. I see all these things as act of terrorism we will start sending them back to the north soon 2 Likes |

Asgard13:You are obviously delusional. The only thing that scares Fulanis more than the collapse of Nigeria is being isolated in Nigeria right from the time of independence. When Zik and Awolowo were exploiting the possibility of forming a goverment, what was the response of Fulanis? Their biggest fear is not being in mainstream politics because their elites have no other money making machine than the Nigerian treasury. 4 Likes |

Ask yourself this question.... What do you stand to gain by posting inciting comments? What do you gain by working to ensure that the North and the South are at loggerheads? The Answer is hatred, strive and disunity. Ask yourself another question, Who benefits from this action of yours? Devil or God? Answer is Devil. Last question, Who are you working for? Answer is Devil. Many of us are devil's soldiers unknowingly. Through your thoughts, actions and inactions, you are working for the devil to make sure that the world is inhabitable to anyone. He has recruited you and you are not aware of it. He is your pay master. The wages of Sin is Death. Repent. Change your ways and accept Jesus as your Lord and saviour. Stop working for the devil. |
