OBAFEMI AWOLOWO, THE PRESIDENT NIGERIA NEVER HAD AND PA ANTHONY ENAHORO

By: Omonire Ovwigho Isaac.

Today when people are busy writing and publishing the progress and failure of a failed governments across the Nation, I am busy thinking about the Nigeria President we never had. Awolowo and Pa Anthony Enahoro made it very clear that a true Federalism is the only solution to this Nation called Nigeria; before he died, he kept saying it. But nobody listened to him. And how the failed Nigeria Government diverted people's attention from Pa Anthony Enahoro dream for Nigeria is still what I do not even understand. Today you hardly hear people talking about true FEDERALISM but instead they talk of true OPPRESSISM. Is an abomination to talk of a true OPPRESSISM instead of TRUE FEDERALISM.

I read President Buhari's speech that we should help him build Nigeria and forget about Biafra and the Sovereign State of Niger Delta. Well that's a good one from Mr. President. But for we to work hand in hand to build this Nation that is collapsing gradually then, you must go back to your drawing board and remove those policies that are dividing this Nation more and more; those policies that are fanning the flames of the Niger Delta Avenger; those policies that finance grazing bill and Sharia law and put the ones of Awolowo and Pa Anthony Enahoro

And those Fulani herdsmen who take pleasure in killing, raping, murdering, armed robbery, must be treated likewise. Because you cannot help build a Nation where your son, your daughter, your wife, your brother, your sister, your mother, your father, and or your friends are being killed by Fulani herdsmen yet, nothing is being done about it. It is when those things are being tackled then, we can say and I quote "yes it is time to build Nigeria". And then we would start building with our imaginations, our ideas, our faiths and our hopes. Because we know in our hearts that government cannot solve all of our problems.

I do not need to write Book today. But I would advise Mr. President to go back to Awolowo and Pa Anthony Enahoro solution to the Nigeria's greater challenges. Because a big and mighty seed of hatred has been planted in our hearts by our politicians and we cannot deny it. And true Federalism is the only solution to that seed of hatred.

And yes, our divide and rule leaders have succeeded completely by telling us that who rule Nigeria is either a Muslim or a Christian, whether the person is a Northener or a Southerner and as such we're divided. And the ones with the highest level of ignorance can't even see for once that those people have no plans for us but to divide us and share all the wealth of this Nation among themselves. And truly they've succeeded dividing us for their selfish purpose. And remember that "a house divided against itself cannot stand".

Thank you!
