Deportation: Ohanaeze youths demand apology from Fashola

Wrong battles, infighting = defeat
 
The reason Igbos appear cowardly in Nigeria these days is the same reason a glass house owner does not throw stones. Igbos have so much at stake in Nigeria, are in every nook and cranny of  this Niger-Area and so much to lose any time and space there is uprising in this republic run by Neanderthals.
 
The divide and rule strategy by corrupt criminal political elite class and the hardcore ignorance of the ruled are the undoing of this republic freely given to the Niger-Area people by the noble independent fathers.
 
To all that call themselves Nigerians, especially the youth, ordinary man, Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba you are all endangered species. You have no government, no protection against these criminals you folks call your leaders.  You can call each other name, fight one another as much as you want but the truth remains that all of you common men are in the same boat, the Nigeria boat that will certainly doom if a force does not pull it back from its disastrous course. I wish all of you ‘good luck’ and hope the criminal leadership in the country would have a change of heart.  Good luck indeed is all that I can wish you all but a wish of good luck is just talk and talk is cheap. What else can I do for you folks if you yourselves refuse to do them the same for yourselves? 
 
Folks your futures are within your hands, you can seat by and allow nature, others shape and determine your future for you or you can at the time of your choosing take your future in your hands and shape it how ever it fits you. But whatever you do remember you have two options to choose from; the choice to live or to die and do not let anyone make this choice for you. If you choose to die then you have not much to do but just sit and wait on time. But if you choose to live then you have an unending work in front of you. The choice to live comes with lot of responsibilities both to yourself, to your loved ones and to the larger society. If you choose to live be bold and act like you mean it; be not afraid because to live is to die otherwise to live has no meaning. If you have nothing so important to die for then you have no reason to live. And what it is that you are willing to die for, your wife, mother, father, children, and country?  Then act to save and protect them from the wickedness of your political leaders.  The Europeans did it, the Americans did, the Arabs are doing it. Please do not wait on God because metaphorically God is dead. He died because his handwork was complete, enduring and perfect and no longer requires his presence. The rest work is left for men. The same work Americans did that made them the envy of the world. The Europeans did it, the same work that made them the cradle of knowledge.   
 
Nigeria, North, South, West, East  are 99.9% common people who are the primary victim of official corruption, armed robbery, kidnapping, extra judiciary killing, police and military brutality, under-educated, under medicated, hunger, poverty and all sorts of abjectness. Yet instead of pulling together to confront common detractor, common enemies, the brothers’ killers, instead common men like you folks occupy yourselves with the blame game; blaming one another, calling one another names, thereby distracting yourselves from the real work, the real of living. Instead of fighting for a Nigeria with a robust youth, robust future Hausa, Igbo Yoruba, Ijaw, Efik youths, etc; you folks are fighting useless fight among yourselves, while yet all of you are the injured people. Injured by the political and leadership class, yet you folks fight one another to protect these criminals just because they come from your ethnic groups. 
 
This reason corruption, criminality and misrule are pervasive in Nigeria is not because of the abundance of corrupt public officials or corrupt leadership (they are less than .01% of the population) but rather because of the abundance of ignorant, illiterate, ill- informed sectionalized mass that defends corrupt public leaders of their kith and kin even when such leaders' corrupt acts mortally affects them. Until such a time when Mr. Okeke will in the court of law, and in the public court condemn and convict his blood brother Mr. Okafor for a proven act of public corruption and criminality; and Mr. Olu condemns and convicts his brother Mr. Oluwale for a proven act of public corruption and criminality;; and Alhaji Musa condemns and convicts his brother Alhaji Mustapher for a proven act of public corruption and criminality, Nigerian will remain a dream, a dooming and fading geo-political idea. Except you folks do something collectively and fast, all of you common people will live to never existed.
