It is indeed time enough really becomes enough and this madness of incessant blood shedding of innocent Nigerians by fellow Nigerians came to an end. These northerners have been killing innocent Nigerians since 1966 which led to the war of self preservation forced on the Igbo people of Biafra, through various coups and counter-coups, Maitatsine, Gideon Akaluka, to the latest Boko Haram domestic terrorists, terrorizing the country. Their present staging grounds is the former pristine temperate Jos which they have extended to Maiduguri; and Icheoku understands the underlying philosophy of trying to now also capture and completely Islamize these areas which never fell to the Hausa/Fulani Othman Dan Fodio's Islamic crusade (jihad) of the last century. The worst is that the leadership of these northerners appear either powerless to stop this recurring mayhem or they simply look the other way just to remain in power; and the government in Abuja is not helping matters either by not decisively and drastically dealing with the situation. Till date none of the White papers on the several panels set up in the past to unravel the cause majore of these incessant bloodletting have been released nor did any of the well connected instigators and financial backers/sponsors of this terrors been brought to book; and the government knows or at least have a faint idea of who these sleuth-anarchists are.
Even the white paper on the penultimate Jos massacre which forced President Goodluck Jonathan to set up an investigative panel is yet to be made public several months after they concluded their work despite presidential promises to timely do so. The president it would seem is pandering to political expediency and in order not to jeopardize his current political adventure by not releasing the findings of that investigative panel. Icheoku's recommended solution, in the absence of guaranteed security of lives and properties for some Nigerians within Nigeria, is to convene a national sovereign conference for the different nationalities therein yoked in Nigeria to revisit the terms of their continued co-habitation and decide what is the best way forward. But to continue to be delusional in sustaining the current arrangement whereby one section of the country continually visit mayhem on fellow countrymen and women with impunity is unacceptable.
A country that cannot guarantee freedom of religious worship and security of lives and properties of all her citizens in whatever part of the country they may chose to reside is not a country properly so called and something has to give way - either things change for the better or the entity yields its contents. Enough is enough. Nigeria is not at war yet her citizens are dying in hundreds, being killed in the country and by fellow citizens and the government looks helpless and unable to stop the bleeding?
Icheoku says victims and targeted peoples of this recurring Northern Nigeria slaughtering deserve not to be so regularly traumatized in their own country and by their fellow citizens. Enough is enough! But the government's continued tolerance and accommodation of these northern Nigeria murderers by not decisively dealing with them as well as their sponsors is an implied call for complete anarchy in Nigeria. These victims and those victimized peoples of Nigeria reserve the right to defend themselves and it is about time they exercised that right; and respond in kind, in similar manner of an eye for an eye according to Mosaic Law. This crass and arrant nonsense must stop immediately or the country is sure to implode as there are certain limits to elasticity of human-being's tolerance. If these perpetrators do not want to live in a peaceful country, they should move out and move faraway to the caves of Toroborah Afghanistan, where their impetuous kind live; but they must leave other more peaceful, more productively engaged and more rational Nigerians alone. Icheoku says, enough of this recurring madness.
