SOUTH WILL RISE UP AS ONE TOGETHER WITH OUR BROTHERS IN THE MIDDLE-BELT AGAINST HAUSA/FULANI IF THEY CONTINUE TO KILL OUR PEOPLE.- FANI-KAYODE
The accompanying talk occurred on my Facebook companions page on May second 2016. Since it is as of now in general society domain I have taken the freedom of.sharing it in my section too.
In spite of the fact that we have not seen a lot of each other for some time I have known Alhaji Muktari Shinkafi for most of the most recent 35 years and we are more similar to siblings than companions.
We hung out in our childhood and in those powerful and delighted days of the early and mid-1980's the point at which I was still at Cambridge University and when I invested the majority of my relaxation energy playing polo at the Lagos Polo Club or at the Guards Polo Club in the U.K., eating caviar and drinking champagne. We had a fabulous time back then and Nigeria was a greatly improved and more content spot than it is presently.
Around then Lagos was something of a mixture and everyone that was anyone in the nation had a home there. These were the prior days Abuja was manufactured and Lagos was still our countries capital.
The vast majority were exceptionally agreeable then in light of the fact that the naira was still solid at around two naira to one dollar. It was regularly the case that individuals would go to London, the South of France or the Bahamas for long weekends with their friends and family and be back in Lagos for Monday morning.
At that point obviously there was late night chicken suya in Obalende which was dependably a pleasure. I think about whether regardless they have that?
All the more imperatively it truly didn't make a difference which part of the nation you originated from or what your religious confidence was on account of no one minded back then.
The main thing that mattered was whether you had a decent training, a great family and whether you had class. Whether you were a northerner, a southerner, a christian or a Muslim didn't make a difference by any means. Lagos was home to all and we adored it.
It was in that charming setting that Muktari and I turned out to be near one another with countless Polo Club buffs.
His more established sibling, a legend in knowledge hovers and in the realm of seeing, the previous leader of Nigeria's feared spy organization the NSO, an abundantly cherished and reverred senior statesman and the previous Presidential applicant of the ancient National Republican Convention, Alhaji Umaru Shinkafi, the Marafan Sokoto, got me into governmental issues 1989 and he was my pioneer and political guide for a long time.
Basically put Marafan resembled a second father to me. He was an a curve moderate and a man of monstrous order and bravery and every one of us at the Lagos Polo Club were in outright wonderment of him. When he strolled in the room with his head held up high there would be pin drop hush as we as a whole held up.
We were his young men and we were all exceptionally glad for that actuality. I learnt everything from him from the craft of governmental issues to the cloudy and dark universe of secret activities.
Notwithstanding that I had the particular honor and privilage of being selected as his Special Assistant in 1992 when he kept running for the Presidency before General Ibrahim Babangida banned him, General Shehu Musa Yaradua (who was the presidential flagbearer for the opponent Social Democratic Party) and the various "oldbreed" lawmakers from challenging.
I don't have anything yet the most profound appreciation and friendship for the Shinkafi family and that remaining parts so till today. I was along these lines enchanted when Muktari made his commitments on my Facebook divider.
The discussion was incited by the way that I posted some realistic photos of the casualties of the Fulani herders in Agatu and Enugu. Those photos can at present be seen on my Facebook companions page.
Muktari did not feel that it was proper to post the photos and the accompanying discussion occurred amongst him and I on the string.
I trust that it was a fascinating examination which brought out two unmistakable and separate points of view (on the off chance that you like call them the northern and southern ones) to the entire issue of the Fulani herders.
I trust that both sides have something to gain from each other on this issue which is the reason I imparted it to my perusers. Appreciate!
MUKTARI SHINKAFI composed:
"Since we as of now have the Senate and House of Representatives set up, it will be less demanding to bring the issue one week from now of partitioning Nigeria instantly after the monetary allowance issue.
The division of the nation ought to be proposed in light of six Geo-political zones in light of the accompanying premise and normal/HR to maintain every zone.
1. South oil, ocean port,
2. South west, benefit industry, ocean port, agribusiness
3. South east . Oil,, trade
4. Center belt. Agribusiness, strong minerals
5. North east. Oil, agribusiness
6. North west. Oil, key strong minerals, agribusiness.
We in the north don't merit this negative purposeful publicity and ridiculing.
Give us a chance to independent peacefull
