the truth, Wendy ohbee nm, as far as i can see it is that if you are here in Nigeria or you intend to return to Nigeria you need to proceed with a fair degree of caution and circumspection in what you say and write concerning power brokers and power groups in/of Nigeria [1]

and i guess it’s more or less the same situation in many countries of the world.

i mean, Wendy nnkeh nm, the whole wide world has just witnessed a
4 year USA Presidency of
erst-while USA President Donald Trump
and his various activities

in a nation was once touted globally for several  years
( and as the world can now see? falsely? )
as
the very bastion of freedom and democracy

– even in spite of it’s vicious history of cruel repression of :
[1] native American Indians – the original owners of the lands historically

and
[2] blacks / Negroes – originally first imported into the U.S.A as slaves from Negroland Africa historically

although since? after? the period of overt Negro / Black Slavery in USA some Negroes / Blacks have at various points/times  in history gone to the New World ( i.e the USA ) as free men and free women.

so, let’s cut through all the bull and all the bull-sh*t.

furthermore, Wendy ohbee nm, if you look at
the so-called leaders of the free world i.e
the so-called leading nations of the free world i.e
at the so-called leading democracies and major democracies, etc
you will see that
historically and currently
it is prudent to proceed with a fair degree of caution and circumspection
in what you say and write concerning power brokers and power groups in/of those countries
be it
England,
the United Kingdom as a wholistic grouping,
France,
Germany?,
Australia,
or
Russia,
etc.

Google
and
Research
.. especially historical research i.e research into the history { – social, political, economic – } ..
of these countries
may help prove and demonstrate this,

however that is essentially an exercise for the interested mind
and
is neither the purpose nor part of the content of my objective here.

my essential purpose is to state
that
with absolute disregard and total discountenancing of
all opinions, views, positions and perceptions to the contrary
it is my view
and a view by which i stand firm
that

by and large,
in the affairs of mankind
globally, historically and currently

MIGHT IS RIGHT
and
HE WHO PAYS THE PIPER DICTATES THE TUNE

and therefore that
in the instance of Nigeria, also,
since
MIGHT IS RIGHT
and
HE WHO PAYS THE PIPER DICTATES THE TUNE

it is actually
the Northern Nigerians i.e
the Northerners
who since the second Nigeria military coup of 1966
have essentially ruled and dominated Nigeria politically, militarily, etc

and
have thus since then
more or less also
essentially determined what is and what is not allowed to be in Nigeria

that today 2021 essentially currently determine
and will in future continue to essentially determine

for as long as the Northern Nigerians / Northern Nigeria essentially  rule(s) Nigeria
and
for as long as the Northern Nigerians / Northern Nigeria essentially determine(s) what Nigeria does or does not do

the direction in which Nigeria goes nationally and internationally

and

will thus also, by and large, essentially determine whether or not Nigeria
.. as presently constituted in terms of it’s component tribes ..  
will achieve it’s much touted potential of being

a World Leader and a Place of Soccour for ALL Negroes/Blacks worldwide

irrespective of the number of
● international award winners
● world class athletes and sports persons
● doctors, lawyers, engineers, professors, etc

that
● the Southern Nigeria Yoruba tribe persons of Southern (West) Nigeria
● the Southern Nigeria Igbo / Ibo tribe persons of Southern (East) Nigeria

● the South Southern Nigeria tribe persons (East & West of the River Niger i.e the Izon {Ijaw}, Kalabari, Ikwerre, Efik, Ibibio,
Obubra, Urhobo, Itshekiri )
● the Middle-Belt Nigeria tribe persons ( i.e the Idoma , Tiv, Igala, Jukun, etc )

produce and/or have.

the observation, Wendy aezeegboh ohbee nm, has been that

when you put
this perception
this point of view
to
the yorubas,
the igbos/ibos,
the tiv,
the ibibio,
etc,

a lot of times
many of them get
very emotional
very sentimental

and

verbiage tends to become emotive

which is also the very reason why i have always advocated that
in engagements and discourse involving the various Nigeria tribes
it is often best
to proceed with a fair degree of caution and circumspection
in what you say and write.

however,
for the sake of those who tend to
for reasons best known to them
refuse to acknowledge
the very reality that is right in front of their faces,
let me ask a question that may come across as controversial
but which may make the point lucidly
to the objective and un-biased mind, thus :

[●●] if
the North of Nigeria and the Northerners of Nigeria
have not been ruling Nigeria
since the second military coup of 1966,
how come ?????????

the list of names of Heads of State of Nigeria i.e
the list of names of the Presidents of Nigeria i.e
the list of names of the Rulers of Nigeria
since then till today 2021

is more or less a essentially
a list of  Northern Nigeria names
with an occasional insert of one southern Nigeria name or another,
as seen below :

(i) YAKUBU GOWON … Northern Nigeria, Birom? Tribe, Army, Head of State & Ruler

(ii) MURTALA MOHAMMED … Northern Nigeria, Hausa? Tribe, Army, Head of State & Ruler

(iii) OLUSEGUN OBASANJO … Southern Nigeria, Yoruba Tribe, Army, Head of State & Ruler

(iv) SHEHU SHAGARI … Northern Nigeria, Fulani Tribe, Civilian, Head of State & Ruler & President

(v) MUHAMMADU BUHARI … Northern Nigeria, Fulani Tribe, Army, Head of State & Ruler

(vi) IBRAHIM BABANGIDA … Northern Nigeria, Hausa? Tribe, Army, Head of State & Ruler & Military President

(vii) ERNEST SHONEKAN ? … Southern Nigeria, Yoruba Tribe, Civilian, Head of State & Ruler

(viii) SANNI ABACHA … Northern Nigeria, Fulani Tribe, Army, Head of State & Ruler

(ix) ABDULSALAMI ABUBAKAR … Northern Nigeria, Hausa? Tribe, Army, Head of State & Ruler

(x) OLUSEGUN OBASANJO … Southern Nigeria, Yoruba Tribe, originally Army and now Civilian, Head of State & Ruler & President

(xi) YARADUA … Northern Nigeria, Fulani? Tribe, Civilian, Head of State & Ruler & President

(xii) GOODLUCK JONATHAN … Southern Nigeria, Kalabari? Tribe, Civilian, Head of State & Ruler & President

(xiii) MUHAMMADU BUHARI … Northern Nigeria, Fulani Tribe, originally Army and now Civilian, Head of State & Ruler & President

Wendy Williams ohbee nm, let me also posit further that

it is
the combination of the mind-set and the world-view of
those who essentially rule a nation
that
determines

the policies,
the attitudes,
the views
and
in effect therefore,
ultimately,
the actions and/or inactions i.e non-actions
of that nation

in
the short term,
the medium term and
the long term.

and therefore
whether Nigeria eventually becomes or does not become
a place of soccour for Negroes / Blacks from all over the world
irrespective of factors like
● the religion e.g Islam or Christianity, of these blacks from different parts of the world,
● the nativity i.e country of origin / birth of these blacks from different parts of the world,
● the ethnicity, if any, of these blacks from different parts of the world,
● etc, etc, etc

is
for as long as
the Northern Nigerians / Northern Nigeria essentially rule(s) Nigeria
and
for as long as the Northern Nigerians / Northern Nigeria essentially determine(s) what Nigeria does or does not do

essentially dependent
to a vital extent
and to
a pivotal degree

on

whether or not
the mind-set and world-view of the ruling Northern Nigerians

at least, on
whether or not
the mind-set and world-view of

● the leaders of opinion among the Northern Nigerians
● the pace-setters among the Northern Nigerians
● the trend-setters among the Northern Nigerians
● those who make things happen among the Northern Nigerians
● the influencers of opinion among the Northern Nigerians
● the influencers of action among the Northern Nigerians

accommodates such imaginations.

especially given the combination of the realities that
MIGHT IS RIGHT
and
HE WHO PAYS THE PIPER DICTATES THE TUNE.

i stand to be corrected.
