THE NEW BOKO HARAM (MIDDLE BELT AND SOUTHERN): CULTURAL IMPERIALISM AND PASTORAL JIHADISM IN NIGERIA
If We Must Die
If we must die, let it not be like hogs
Hunted and penned in an inglorious spot,
While round us bark the mad and hungry dogs,
Making their mock at our accursèd lot.
If we must die, O let us nobly die,
So that our precious blood may not be shed
In vain; then even the monsters we defy
Shall be constrained to honor us though dead!
O kinsmen! we must meet the common foe!
Though far outnumbered let us show us brave,
And for their thousand blows deal one death-blow!
What though before us lies the open grave?
Like men we'll face the murderous, cowardly pack,
Pressed to the wall, dying, but fighting back!
- Claude McKay

Dissecting The Recurring Agitation For The Balkanization of Nigeria (1)
Written by JOHN ODEY ADUMA
Introduction:
It is globally established that the primary responsibility of a sovereign state encompasses the protection, security or safety of lives and properties and creation of the right atmosphere where economic, social activities thrive. Decline or complete absence of such prerequisites by acts of commission or omission implies the sovereign state is inching towards a failed state. For clarity, a ‘’failed or failing state’’, refers to ‘’a political entity or nation in which the government is inept at living up to the basic tasks of a sovereign State, is on the verge of losing or has already lost political authority, control’’. Some of the unmistakable characteristics of a failing/failed sovereign state include very weak institutions, culture of impunity, gross human right abuses, absence of rule of law, unprecedented and entrenched corruption, incessant strife and instability, geometrical depreciation in security, safety of lives and properties, liberty and the standard of living.
Eze Ndigbo: The Danger of a Kingdom in a Kingdom in light of the ongoing State Terrorism, Pastoral Terrorism and Cultural Imperialism in Nigeria
Written by JOHN ODEY ADUMA ."..the Nigerian Federation is a political union, and not a cultural one, hence in amalgamating, only the political was amalgamated and therafter, federated at independence and not the cultural; and in federating, only the political was federated and not the cultural or the anthropo-socio-cultural and the spiritual."

Democratic diarchism: Muhammadu Buhari's dangerous route to the garrisonization and subsequent militarization of Nigeria
Written by JOHN ODEY ADUMA
Who's that bloke behind you in a democracy, Mr President?
A foremost advocate of diarchy in Nigeria was the great Zik. And looking back after twenty years of his death, I dare say with all sense of responsibility that Benjamin Nnamdi Azikiwe did not really want and actually approve of diarchy as a form of government to be adopted by a superactive-super-eruptive polity like Nigeria, but hazarding a guess, the great man's concern/suggestion was borne out of looking for a lasting solution to the then military's frequent intervention in the governance of Nigeria through coups, which more often than not turned out to be the opposite of all of their purported coup missions of arresting the drift in the government they had chased out, blaming the government of and legitimising their action by adducing corruption as the reason why they struck.

SERIES: BUHARISM AND THE FIERCE URGENCY OF NOW
“The new nation called Nigeria should be an estate of our great-grandfather, Uthman Dan Fodio. We must ruthlessly prevent a change of power. We use the minorities of the North as willing tools and the South as a conquered territory and never allow them to rule over us, and never allow them to have control over their future.”
–Sir Ahmadu Bello, Leader of the NPC and Premier of Northern Nigeria, (Parrot Newspaper, 12th Oct. 1960; republished on November 13, 2002, by the Tribune Newspaper, Ibadan.)

ECHOES OF THE GREAT AWAKENING
THE NIGERIAN RENAISSANCE, NATIONALISM, RISE OF THE INTELLIGENTSIA AND THE IMPENDING REVOLUTION IN NIGERIA
There is a revolution coming.
It will not be like revolutions of the past.
It will originate with the individual and
with culture, and it will change
the political structure
only as its final act.
It will not require violence to succeed,
And it cannot be successfully
resisted by violence.

The Afenifere threat to secede from Nigeria: Open letter to the Sultan of Sokoto and the Caliphate’s MACBAN
Written by JOHN ODEY ADUMAPart 2 of the Series “Buhari’s 100 Days—an X-ray”
President Buhari’s silence and inaction, during his 100 days, on the issue of Fulani herdsmen seems to have poured petrol on the long smoldering embers of the Fulani menace in Nigeria. So there is a need to raise two questions: (a) Is Buhari’s inaction part of his Caliphate hidden agenda? (b) Is the Sultan of Sokoto, as the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of MACBAN, the cattle breeders association, not the Grand Patron of a criminal enterprise--an enterprise that uses, for its economic gain, the crimes of trespassing, destruction of other people’s property, kidnapping, arson, murder, ethnic cleansing etc.?

BUHARISM & THE BURDENS OF SOLOCRACY
1. President Buhammadu Buhari has binned the "A" in APC and replaced it with "N" so the North can reclaim the Party, thenceforward to be known only to the discerning minds as the "NPC" - Northern People's Congress of yore, whose agenda he is solocratically pursuing through the unwarranted dissolution of Boards and dismantling of national institutions without opposition and without a robust debate - a situation which if it were in a military setting would still have been regarded as an aberration and an illegality borne out of crass and unparalleled despotism!
