Buhari’s North, our North, and this North By Prince Charles Dickson Excerpts Mr. Jonathan is the ‘clueless one’, we agree, but are there clues in Kaduna, any clue in Katsina, what are the clues that Kebbi, Zamfara, Nassarawa, Plateau are any ‘clueful’, considering the billions we have received in the North, do we need clues to how our very own have ‘cluelessly’ looted us dry. We have interrogated Jonathan and many of us will not stop, but have we interrogated our governors, our senators, and political class as much as we have blamed Jonathan, often forgetting to heap same amount of blame on our sons/daughters in the corridor/balcony, and kitchen of power. Let me honestly ask us, so if Jonathan wins and sure he is on the way to winning in 2015 (Cause the APC tablet is adding migraine to the tummy upset of the PDP), what will we do in the North: close shop, or annex Abuja, as we threaten these days? We had this power and we still have it in a form or the other, do we have a blueprint for the next 10-15-20 years, what really is the Arewa Peoples Congress and Northern Elders doing, other than engage a mouthful Edwin Clark and his younger ‘com-parrot’ I meant compatriot Asari Dokuboh in newspaper wars. Please correct me if I am right, our money bags what are they really doing to change the face of the North, does it occur to any sane Northerner that for Arewa leaders charity begins in homes in Abuja, London, US and luxury flats in Dubai with some girl called Peace from Lagos, when there is no peace in Kaduna, Adamawa, Plateau, Yobe, Borno, Benue, Nassarawa, Zamfara, Kano, Taraba and the list goes on. Can Arewa be great again, do we want to be great: is more of a wish than substance. Times are changing, and have changed, are we making friends or we still think that everyone is our enemy. We still can, if we want to, but we need to tackle our backwardness in education, we need to fight our health challenges, get up from the high horses of crass conspiracy theories, because even the south has many such theories of us in the North.
