Watch out! What Nyako advocates :
Governor Nyako of Adamawa State has written a memo to fellow Northern governors asking them to prepare for war against President Jonathan and his government for the killings of the Christians going on in the north by Boko haram.
He claims Mr President is the blood sucking demon that wants to commit a genocide against the Northern Christians and laughably his aristocratic brothers. The retired Navy Commodore must have been quick to forget that it is a natural phenomenon in his region to butcher fellow human beings (Mostly Christians) without remorse.
As a retired General in the Navy ( A revered arm of the Nigerian Military and as a former Military Administrator and a member of the disbanded Armed Force Ruling Council), it is so disappointing that his ability to think has been retarded drastically by his hate of this administration.
Since he has forgotten too soon, I was able to make a list of killings in the north that precedes the advent of the Goodluck Jonathan’s led administration. Commodore Nyako should also be aware that the Boko Haram sect is not new but just an officialization of the process to 1. Make Nigeria ungovernable to the present administration, 2. Make sure no non-Muslim rules over Muslims, 3. Islamize Nigeria, 4. Eliminate non-Moslems from the northern region.
Below is a drafted list of killings perpetuated against the Northern Christians by Nyako’s brothers in the far Northwest, Northeast, and North central Geopolitical Region (the Middle Belt) before the advent of President Jonathan and the easily accessed social media.
1). 1980 May: 2467 Christians killed in Zaria

19). 2001 October 12‐14 In Kano, there were anti‐American riots, because of USA intervention in Afghanistan. At least 350 are killed Mostly Christians. (You can imagine the mentality, Northern Christians are now citizens of America).
20). 2006 February: Sectarian violence sparked by cartoons of Islam’s most revered figure spread to 11 Nigerian cities resulting in the burning of 28 churches and pushing the total death toll to more than 650. (Ordinary cartoon..hmmmm, What was the business of Northern Christians and Southerners living in the north?
And Nyako just realized that the federal Government led by President Goodluck Jonathan has been responsible for the animalistic killing instinct in some people’s DNA.

A house divided against itself.......
We have here a catalogue of carnage, which reflects a pattern of demonstrable disunity. One may muse it as 'between a rock and a hard place' since it seems that Nigeria has long lost the values of unity (talk less of democracy and co-existence. The hell the colonial masters were thinking when they merge the north and the south. Obviously it hasn't been working satisfy both ends. The continuing situation only compounds the poor leadership we have been having and still existing as well as the wholesale lack of mutual respect for humanity - which is why some are arguing for a separation. It's really not a situation to be and there does not seem to be a solution in sight. The catalogue of instances affirms the ineptitude of leadership, sub-human governance and collusion at the top with miscreants in order self gratify. In an ideal world efforts would have been taken and a resolve would have been achieved over past decades to make such conflicts a history. So where does that leave the 'good' Nigerian?
