Nigeria almost happened to a colleague on Wednesday.
His wife went from Abuja to Minna. Her car broke down along kaduna road, at a village where there's no hope of neither getting a mechanic nor get alternative transport. Of course, no one will leave his wife and new infant...

...on the road in these perilous times. So, dude set out from Abuja at 7:20pm to pick his wife and child. Before he could storm through intracity traffic and all, it was late. He eventually got to his wife's location at 9pm.
They secured the faulty car and headed back to Abuja.

In a hilux. Himself, wife & child and the driver who drove the wife to Minna. After a while, he met a police check point and explained his condition to them. They consoled him and he moved on. Less than 500m apart, he met another road block. Men in full military uniforms.
Dear Shaykh @DrIsaPantami,
Thank you for the bravery, valour & courage to push the NIN Project despite the unwarranted attacks & evil plots. Sir, this project must not fail. Everyone should acquire the NIN & link with the SIM, & bank accounts. Any unlinked SIM must be blocked.

The security of this nation is non-negotiable. We must not be allowed to be bullied by agents of doom & evil, at all cost. We assure you that millions of Nigerians are with you on this. The Govt must wake up & face its responsibility of securing our lives. Enough of the madness.
We are optimistic that this would pass, but we must work hard & even harder than we are doing right now.
May the Almighty see you through.

The challenge before every leader in Northern Nigeria today is how to secure the people you are leading. Forget roads & bridges, ghosts & dead bodies don't need them. When you can't secure the people you are leading, you have failed as a leader.
It is important to understand that there is little or nothing that matters to people when they're unsecured. They want to be secured before they can appreciate anything. To our Governors, especially @GovKaduna, @KTSGovt, @Zamfara_state, @NigerStateNG & others, this goes to you.
We had expected the Arewa House meeting to begin & end on insecurity, but it wasn't. A small portion of the discussion was what the Decision Note carried, although it was said that more than that has been discussed during the meeting. We sincerely want to believe so.
“Mutunci”, “Daraja” and “Ƙima” that haven't been employed properly to create efficiency are absolutely useless attributes in our current socioeconomic capitalist reality.
21st century is an era that only respects potential - good or otherwise - and its employment.

This unprovoked reminiscent and misinterpretation of values create nothing but poor understanding of which mechanisms modernity drives upon.
In the context of tangible success, the ego and self-esteem that doesn't make you richer, wiser and healthier are unaffordable luxuries.

So its up to you to make them work or find another way to create tangible success.
Sadly, an average northerner values intangible success more than anything, such as the glow of his ego and rising of self-esteem, than good governance, more wealth, wisdom and health.

Dear @femigbaja,
Your recent statement that you will not sign the 2021 budget until the ASUU demands as well as the demands of the victims of police brutality has been captured is very courageous.
In addition, we demand you don't sign until Banditry & Kidnappings in the North

has been put to an end, until the Presidency has stated clearly the path to ending it, listen to our complaints & demands too.
I call on all Northerners to hold their @nassnigeria representatives responsible until this is achieved.

You are a shameless woman YESUFU. Close those stinky & odorous mandibles of yours. You have never supported a Northern cause. You ve always spit rancor against anything Arewa, expectedly. You want to plunge us into chaos as you did Lagos? You have failed, La'ananniya.
La'ananne kawai ke tayar da zaune tsaye, & you have qualified every definition of that. Allah best us witness, we have & are still using every means to speak to the powers that be about insecurity in the North & we have never relented. To come with such evil narrative is well
understood. We know what you want to achieve; to see blood and more bloods of protesters in the North as you championed it in Lagos & other parts of Nigeria. We are too intelligent to understand that even before you started the move & it has failed. Handle the bloods on your
I will spill out the bitter truth, if your emotion can't contain it, just scroll and pass
The line is almost already divided between the two regions (North & South)

SOME Northerners sincerely criticise Buhari's Govt and are against it, but upon realising and observing the way Southerners have utmost hatred towards him, that triggers and emotional change of choice, they will support him emotionally, regionally and wholeheartedly
As the crisis is looming (we pray it subsides) if election will be done today, dont be surprise Buhari will still win.
The south move the Agenda of #Endsars ALMOST all the people in the North supported them with the sole intention of ending SARS, Govt acceded to the protesters

Feminists (inclusive actual lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Trans, Queers) and all elements of destruction sponsored a protest. They disguised under something terrible that has affected a lot of Nigerians, #PoliceBrutality & call for an end to SARS. They didn't expect the govt to
give in easily, and they were disappointed. Then the extended the protest, taking advantage of the poverty & hunger in the majority of the protesters, get donations from international mischief makers & all keep feeding these hungry Nigerians. "Awuf no dey run belle".
The finally released their Agenda, when they thought they have garnered enough support of hoodlums, defeated politicians & even genuine Nigerians that genuinely want improvement in the way we are being governed. But it was too early & it was rejected by the very few people that 
Dear Mr. President @MBuhari ,
We voted for you as the President not @ProfOsinbajo. Some words coming from you take more weight than the VP's words.
Truth is, governance in Nigeria has been full of lies for decades, & you need to assure Nigerians that everything you say counts.

You should address these issues directly. If possible, that virtual town hall meeting organized should not be attended by the IG alone, but by you & your VP, as you did attend the Presidential debate when asking for our votes. We have channeled our suggestions to you via the
means we have, and we hope you listen to them. Call on the elders of regions, whether they support you or not, whether they actually represent the region politically or not. We have the Northern Elders' Forum, the Afenifere & the Ohaeneze Ndi Igbo. Call them to a meeting.
While we worked together in unity to get Nigeria rid of SARS, now is the time to focus attention on the biggest catastrophe facing the country: #EndNorthBanditry & #SecureNorth.
For over a decade, the North lost thousands of lives, millions are scattered due to insecurity..yet..

Yet the north have shown incredible resilience & solidarity with the rest of the country on all issues of concerns, including #EndSars. The North stood in solidarity with Nigerians, now we demand solidarity in return.
The north has been an efficient partner in Nigerian progress.

We do not ask for protest on street, we do not ask for confrontation with the authorities, we do not ask for breaking any law and order. All we ask for is join voices with us and call for the #EndNorthBanditryNow and #SecureNorth.
A simple hashtag just to call for an attentions.
