They have killed thousands of Nigerians, consigned thousands to displaced people camps, destroyed many farms and illegally occupies many villages. All these while the Nigerian government is aware and Nigerian security agencies watching quietly.
I have long given up on Nigeria because I have since come to conclusion that a person who is pretending to be mad cannot be cured and that it is impossible to make a person see what he does not want to see.
However, the recent killing of some Fulani terrorists who have been killing, kidnapping and terrorising Edo state by vigilantes have exposed every thing that is wrong with Nigeria and why some people believe that Nigeria is in its current form, is not a viable country.
Recently, Fulani terrorists killed a lot of people in Enugu state and when the community protested, the police intervened to arrest the protesters. This has been the experience of Nigerians in southern Kaduna, Benue state and many other states in Nigeria.
While any extrajudicial killings is condemnable, it is the height of double standard for northern governors to keep quite while Fulani terrorists from the north commit crimes against humanity in different parts of the country and then find their voice, whenever those who suffer the terror of the terrorists retaliates.
The response of northern governors while understandable, is hypocritical and again, evidences what is wrong with Nigeria as a country. It exposes the double standard and sectarian mindedness that is at the centre of the rot in Nigeria.
The northern leaders openly fraternise with Fulani terrorists who are ravaging the country. The terrorists even have their own Sheik who advocates and rationalises their atrocities. It leaves one wondering who controls the terrorists and whose bidding the terrorists are carrying out.
Nigeria would become a good country when bad behaviour and criminality are punished and good behaviour rewarded, particularly amongst the leaders and terrorists.
Without this, the life support machine on which Nigeria is surviving will finally fail to sustain the moribund country suffering from the cancer of lawlessness, nepotism and toxic ethnic nationalism.
