Tales of the Persecuted Nigerians – the barbarous practice of de-citizenization of Nigerian citizens living outside of their natural States and ethno-geo areas/zones
It is appalling as well as shocking to note that after over 60 years of living together, politically speaking, as a nation, and 105 years after the amalgamation of the two halves of the Niger by the British colonialist, Lord Frederick Lugard, Nigerians residing in States and regions outside of their natural abode – ethnic nationalities/regions are to this day seen and regarded as non-indigenes, settlers, aliens, guests/strangers even as migrants, parasites, leeches, dodders and mistle toes, etc – and so treated very shabbily, more so as outcasts, refugees, ‘assylum seekers’, IDPs, pariahs, harijans, almajiris, pests, nuisances, etc – better still, as political and social endoparasites and ectoparasites – by the so-called indigenes/’hosts’ or aluole, alaje (Yala, for owners of the home, owners of the land, and in Yoruba, simply as (awon) omonile, hence at will, these politico-socio-cultural wolves/predators hound, steal, kill, maim and destroy these ‘rodents’, cockroaches, pests and leeches just for the pleasure of it!
1 By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion.
2 There on the poplars we hung our harps,
3 for there our captors asked us for songs,
our tormentors demanded songs of joy;
they said, “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”
- Psalm 137
JOHN ODEY ADUMA in this article takes a hard and very reflective look at the nation’s odyssey thus far, especially after 105 years since the amalgamation and laments that the people of the Upper and Lower Niger are not yet able to integrate and cohere as a people of one indissoluble nation under one destiny, one philosophy, one vision and under one God, with the country having been further divided by the Arabists into SHARIADOM ANDCHRISTENDOM.
Of equal lament for Mr Aduma also is the fact that an army of occupation from the East through their local agents and collaborators have besieged the West African State of Nigeria, holding her in captivity and pillaging her resources and actual wealth in a manner he would like to chronicle for posterity as: The Pacification of the Christian tribes of the Lower and Upper Niger, paving the way for the introduction of total and mindless sharia in the polity.
He further laments that Nigerians are known more for their often-ignominious rancour, political vendetta, aggrandizement, nepotism, regionalism, ethnicity, practise of hereditary privilege, socio-politico-cultural pollution, otherwise known as corruption, than being a people of one nation.
To expose official corruption in Nigeria, re-orientate the psyche of Nigerians and usher in the Nigerian renaissance
