Oriire rescue: Why Yorubaland is not Arewanistan, By Majeed Dahiru

arising from wrong cultural and religious practices, northern region has set itself on a fire that is threatening to engulf the whole country, but with the Oriire rescue and the imminent establishment of state police, it should be clear to the north and its leaders that the rest of Nigeria may no longer be willing to endure the collective incineration from their religious and cultural self immolation.

A prominent example of this intense persecution of those who were trying to save the people of the region from themselves, was when Sheikh Muhammad Nuru Khalid, the Imam of Apo legislative quarters Jummat mosque in Abuja was sacked from his position by being too vocal in exposing the insecurity in the Muslim north of Nigeria and his persistent call on President Buhari to act.

When it was no longer a problem Goodluck Jonathan’s “cluelessness” it became an issue “climate change, poverty and illiteracy” under the northern presidency of Muhammadu Buhari, just as it has been politicised in President Tinubu’s Nigeria to be a ‘weak and uncaring of the north” government.
