This is the first time that I am hearing that the federal government MUST do anything. I have always been made to understand the the Federal government, especially the Buhari variety, is all powerful and cannot be ordered around. Moreover since Buhari is supposedly hand-in-glove with his northern brothers, I cannot understand this current posturing regarding a hitherto unthinkable flexibility in discussing with infidels from down south.
Is this for real?
Personally I do not trust these inadequate conciliatory moves by an Ango Abdullahi who is yet to fully distance himself from the Arewa Quit Notice on Ndigbo. Abdullahi and his sponsors are simply desperate to calm frayed nerves while continuing old style domination politics by other means.

He is educated enough to appreciate the sheer illegality of that demand, even if Ndigbo are citizens of Sierra Leone or Guinea. That IPOB is desirious of pulling Ndigbo out of Nigeria does not change a thing. It is this crass irrationally exhibited at the highest levels of otherwise educated class in the north that makes it impossible to discuss even the simplest of issues. How then is there any real possibility of taking the wind out of the sail of Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB and other angry groupings around Nigeria by approaching the discussion/renegotiation of #Restructuring, #TrueFederalism and #Biafra with GOOD FAITH?
Everybody knows that what is going on currently is a CON JOB. One other thing is that it does not require the wisdom of Solomon to appreciate that the discussion of the three different outcomes listed above IS ONE AND THE SAME. These are not three different negotiations. It is the outcome that differs. And it is going to be only one outcome. It is all in our hands and we can come to a peaceful resolution if only our northern "brethren" read the sign of the times and dismount from their high horse. .
Prof Abdullahi said, “When you want the latest on the quit notice, go to the youth. I am not a youth." .
Why did it take the learned Prof so long to recognize this obvious fact. I bet that if tomorrow we disband government and the gerontocrats and leave our youths to sort themselves out, this nonsense may end sooner than we can imagine. I don't know of any northern youth from say Chibok, who sits on the board of NNPC or owns an unearned mansion in Maitama. Prof Abdullahi and his agemates have taken the north and Nigeria for a ride for far too long. If they were not of a certain age I would have not just chastised them but added that they should go work for a living for a change. They have garnered enough for several lifetimes. My final plea is that they should step aside, not just talk about it.
