Average Southerner Is Nothing Short Of A Butterfly Who Thinks Himself A Bird - Charles Ogbu.




"You are Igbo, living and doing business in Lagos. Your shops have never been attacked. Your right to life has never been trampled upon. Yet, you think Yorubas are your enemies. You spend time calling them cowards even when they fought like gallant men and women and successfully saved their ancient city of Ile-Ife from Hausa/fulani killing machine; a feat you woefully failed at, when your own governor resorted to fasting and praying after the fulani barbarians 'visited' Nimbo with their demon of death. You turn to your Niger Delta neighbours and refer to them as traitors. And you still pretend not to know that you are part of the problem??

You are Yoruba. Biafrans have never included you in their business. The agitation doesn't pose any danger to you whatsoever. Yet, you spend time mocking their agitation and insulting Nnamdi Kanu who has succeded in troubling the waters of the Nigerian polity enough to force a conversation; a feat your Oodua Congress has woefully failed to achieve. One of your own, Osinbajo, is currently being humiliated. He is the acting president, yet, he can't swear in ministers, he can't even sign budget. Why? Because he is a southern Christian deemed inferior by the fulani Oligarchs. Rather than allow Osinbajo sign the budget, six months into the 2017 fiscal year it was meant for, the whole country should grind to a halt. You are seeing all these, yet, Biafra, which is a product of the injustice in the system, is your only headache.

You are from the Niger Delta. Your waters, farmland and even the air you breath are all fraught with cancer-causing agents as a result of the demonic activities of the environmental terrorists that is the oil companies working in alliance with your govt. You rarely talk about the plight of your people. You cannot even organise a successful Sit-At-Home to draw attention to your environmental woes and the refusal of the govt to commence the Ogoni clean-up. Yet, you spend valuable time and resources ridiculing the Biafran agitation and shouting that Igbos are planning to dominate you, take over your land and steal your oil. The same oil for which you are constantly being killed and humiliated each time you try to take even one litre while fulani men from far away Zamfara come to take trailer loads and leave you with a terribly polluted environment. How many of your people own oil wells in the same oil that is yours? For Godsake, these are the grave injustices you should be spending your time and resources on!

A thousand and one Nnamdi Kanu CANNOT force anyone into Biafra. Even the entire southeast CANNOT just be declared as the Republic of Biafra WITHOUT a 'Yes or No' vote known as Referendum. So, where is the fear coming from?

Meanwhile, our ghost president is still in ghost mode. Former British MP Eric Joyce tweeted he is no more. The lying buffoons at the presidency know nothing. Only the political terrorists known as the cabal knows Buhari's true status. Yet, outrageous salaries and allowances from tax payers money are still being drawn in his name. Mind boggling amount of money are ceaselessly being deducted from our treasury in the name of settling his hospital bill.

Where are these monies coming from? The South.

Yet, all that matters to southern youths is coming on social media to fight each other.

Come 2019, we will all file out to fulfil all righteousness and put another fulani man in Asorock and come back to social media to haul invectives at each other till another 4 years.

We can't even look beyond our petty emotions and see the bigger picture.

When Jonathan was president, 90% of his harshest critics were southerners but today, these same southerners have all gone deaf, dumb and blind because their "Slave Masters of Yunkai" are in power. Who are the 13 SANs that defended Buhari's certificate-lessness? They are all southerners. Femi Falana and Emeka Ngige led the group of SANs.

Today, well lettered southern youths are on social media running after grasshoppers and cockroaches while their future and that of their unborn children are ablaze.

Quite frankly, an average southerner is nothing short of a butterfly who thinks himself a bird. It grieves me to admit this but it grieves me even more that it's the truth."
