On South of Nigeria

Published by

Southerners hate themselves, they fight over many things; who is more intelligent academically? Who steals more etc, instigated by their middle class, watched by their elite fought by their downtrodden while Zik and Awo war is rehearsed by each group and every other component of that geography called south is negated.

So we have these group of dudes, miscreants, and ruffians, trouble mongers, in the north we call them ‘yan iskas’ they suffer from iberiberism but in the South, the significant difference is that the yan iskas there are bourgeois and elitists and even claim a high level of intellectualism.

Every nation has one dichotomy or the other, if it is not the north/south, it is versus blocs or religious or even ideological dichotomies. There are several reasons why such dichotomies exist. Sometimes it is a function of creation like we have in the Nigerian case. The North-South dichotomy is a big myth to our politicians when they want to steal but after the stealing it becomes an issue.

We have in every sense approached most problems in sectionals, thereby creating all kinds of unnecessary petty-culture-ethnic alliances and bourgeois mentality in dealing with our national issues. Dichotomy is one that is used by political apologists as a socio-economic weapon. Dichotomy has been used to exploit and bamboozle the masses without major consideration being given to the dynamics of the law of development which in essence deals scientifically with the unity and struggle of opportunities and opposites.

This is the only way we can continue to be right. We are seriously warning the reactionary force to come to grips with realities of the moment, which point to the inevitabilities of the future because time is running out, at us to initiate a wind of hurricane of social revolution.
