Beloved,
the news circulating in the social media was that the executive arm of
government was on the verge of introducing a free visa policy that will
encourage an influx of Fulani people into Nigeria.
As
much as ORUNMILA appreciates that these Fulani people are our African Brothers and
should be treated with love and respect, we should however be mindful of our
plight in Nigeria. With a population of about 200 million, our country has a problem with
governance. Why then should we add to our problem by allowing an influx of
settlers to increase our population and make our situation more complex?
We
should not be seen as engaging in a tribal competition between the Hausas, the Fulanis,
the Igbos, the Yorubas, and all the other tribes.
We
should all unite in love to face our common problems which is markedly disunity
leading to UNDERDEVELOPMENT.
Any
tribe that is striving to unjustifiably claim superiority over the others is fanning the embers
of war and bloodshed, which we cannot afford now, as this will “turn back the
hands of the clock”.
We
have enough problems containing the Boko Haram Insurgency, banditry kidnapping ,add to it the incidences of the rampaging Fulani herdsmen as all these are not in
the best interest of Nigeria.
As
elders, we should eschew selfishness, pride and greed and for the sake of our
children and the unborn generation of Nigerians, avoid the breakout of another
civil war.
Our
colonizers sowed the seed of discord amongst us by the 1884 Partition of Africa
in Berlin. This has given them the opportunity to continue to exploit us even after
over almost 140 years.
Why
can’t we as Africans think deeply and in love and unity uproot these seeds of
discord which have grown up to giant trees of disunity and ethnic/ tribal conflict?
As Africans, let us think deeply about how our
continent can be emancipated and move upward from the least developed to one of
the most advanced continents in the world.
The
weapon that we need is UNCONDITIONAL
LOVE.
We
should bury the hatchet of ethnic rivalry as this portends ominous signs for
the future of unborn and younger generations of Nigerians/ Africans.
Shalom.
God Bless Nigeria
God Bless Africans
GOD Bless Humanity
