The misplaced priorities of African leaders and I-don't-care leadership style, Nigeria in focus

While Nigerian Elites are trending US/Israel-Iran on social media channels, no protest at home against houses that are been burnt or for properties destroyed or for the unending bloodshed of innocent Nigerians on a Daily and weekly basis.

The reports that emanated from the coordinated attack by Fulani herdsmen jihadist that claimed lives of rural dwellers especially farmers in Benue state and Kaduna state during the celebration of Easter is an indirect message that the current security architecture has failed and there is need for urgent overhauling of the current ineffective and reactive policing system.

Last week, a border community in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT-Abuja) known as Maraba was attacked by Fulani bandits and houses, vehicles and others were burnt.

Last week, thousands of residents from a community in nassarawa state were fleeing their towns and relocating with some of their belongings in mass to a safer ground due to persistent attack by Fulani bandits (according to eyewitness)

Last week, residents of Ifelodun local government of Kwara state sent a worrisome messages of how Yoruba  communities in Kwara state were deserted due to untamed growing terrorism.

The people of Oke-Ode, Babanla and other communities in Patigi local government have accused the state government of inaction leading to exodus of the people to another state, leaving the houses in the towns for goats, dogs, fowls and other domestic animals to occupy.

While international communities are still reacting to palm Sunday massacre in Jos area of plateau state, days after the gruesome killings, the perpetrators have further extended their killing and kidnapping agendas to other states few days after the global outcry of Christian killings in Nigeria.

Could this be an agenda against the Nigeria state to make it ungovernable?

Northern Imperialists in the time past have claimed that Nigeria is a personal property of the Fulani and the right to the land was passed down to them by Uthman Dan Fodio, approved by the British for them to be ruling class in Nigeria, the first class citizen who is above the law and also superior to other ethnic groups in Nigeria. 

This imperial and fanatic ideology is rooted in the mind of the average Fulani herders who are not originally from Nigeria but trooping in to come and possessed their ancestral heritage with the invitation of Miyetti allah extended to cattle breeders and other armed groups in West Africa and the Sahel.

One of the strategy of the incumbent government is the establishment of the forest guards to dislodge this armed groups operating from the forest reserves across Nigeria. But the level of coordinated destruction across different states and bold attacks on communities relentlessly are proof that government officials are part of the sponsors of this group and also glaring that Sharia law in the North is the catalyst powering and embolden these islamic hoodlums.

With the Federal government in charge of the police force, a shadow government is in command of these terrorist force operating without regard for humanity in the most populous African country.
