Deliberately avoiding the subject matter, their Hench me made SALEH KINJIR their subject of discuss as if they were always looking for a chance to spill out this bitter Mara. This is a testament to the hatred they bore for years for the PROUD DESCENDANTS OF SUKUR KINGDOM.
Anybody with a sensibility that is higher than that of UNICELLULAR ORGANISM knows this ; no body pre dated Sukur people as far as settlement on any part of the present MADAGALI LGA is concerned. Thus for anybody talking about MILDU as a settlement inhabited by anyone apart from the people whose kingdom spans a millennia. Simply flies in the face of reason and objective HISTORY,to be candid if not on the pages of such medium and the fact that a fellow MARGHI MAN is now the governor of ADAMAWA STATE. It is inconceivable to talk anything related to HISTORICITY and the autochthonous premise of the people of Madagali with anyone apart from Sukur Man.
But this is not even the issue, stirring us in the face like a dangling pendulum ; the issue now glaring at us, is the embarrassing realities of facing the truth – naked truth. The bitter truth, the only Truth. That the Marghi Man is at best an oppressor,a modern day Colonialist,and a CLANNISH TRIBALIST.
The issue at hand unfortunately, is the disarming Actuality that a well accomplished tribe (the Marghi) is still GOADED BY ETHNICITY & tribalism and is USING ALL INFLUENCE at her disposal to wrestle out a mere DISTRICT HEAD FROM a Tribe who knows any semblance of government by that non executive position of a DISTRICT HEAD.
It is in fact the HUMILIATING confrontation of the undeniable circumstance that a MARGHI GOVERNOR,who is supposed to be a unifying father figure, a global personality, who traveled for a two weeks Training in the USA after winning election. Is now degrading that exalted sit,into a local trivial,tribal tool of GOVERNANCE….
Therefore when accosted unexpectedly with this DISGRACEFUL situation.In the form of swallowing the biter truth. they couldn’t stomach it, so they opened their mouths to trow it up. And bitterness and Gall spilled out. INVECTIVE & VULGARITY came out all over.As though They’re caught off guard,like a man caught committing ADULTERY, who will naturally jump at any similitude of cover,in order to hide the shame.
Mumbling some exonerations . Indeed no thief want to be called one. And no witch ever accepts that she captured the child that died. So telling us FINTIRI ISN’T TRIBALISTIC shouldn’t be the work of a marghi man. Accord us that right to judge and not some one in the garb of a priest yet denying to be an Episcopalian.And in another desperate reflex they sent their attack dogs and resorted to INSULTS & NAME CALLING.
Do anyone need to be told that we, as a nation don’t have to depend on Hon SALEH KINJIR to write out our grievance especially on social media? When we have more than enough young vibrant social media activists?
Well we see this as one more attempt by the MARGHI FOLKS to portray the Sukur people as backward uneducated fellows who always rely on SALEH KINJIR for everything.
But by this write up the world should know that such attempt is futile as all their attempt of the past. To keep us Hidden from the face of the Earth…
Deliberately avoiding the subject matter, their Hench me made SALEH KINJIR their subject of discuss as if they were always looking for a chance to spill out this bitter Mara. This is a testament to the hatred they bore for years for the PROUD DESCENDANTS OF SUKUR KINGDOM.
When Sukur Kingdom was enlisted as the FIRST AFRICAN CULTURAL LANDSCAPE ON THE WORLD HERITAGE MAP by UNESCO, SUKUR KINGDOM ACTUALLY competed for the enlistment with KANO EMIRATE & BENIN KINGDOM.that we are here talking about a DISTRICT HEADSHIP and connecting it to SUKUR KINGDOM – A KINGDOM AT PAR NAY THAT OUTCLASSED KANO AND BENIN is at best a TRAVESTY. A PERFECT MISS CARRIAGE OF JUSTICE.
Something that gave Madagli, Adamawa,and Nigeria as a whole a global acclaim is now being relegated by someone who is eaten to the bone by ETHNIC JINGOISM….
Bringing MILDU into the picture even makes the argument funnier,and more childish.These fellows should be reminded that no single DISTRICT IN MADAGALI IS completely monolithic, and that doesn’t make all the inhabitants automatic candidates for HEADSHIP OF THE DISTRICT.No Marghi or Sukur Man can ever dream of vying for the DISTRICT HEADSHIP OF MADAGALI DISTRICT, for example. Because there are those to whom the throne belongs. All maneuvers and manipulation have to be within the owners of the sit. So why is the Sukur district an issue..?? Is it because the MILDU group of Marghi feel to big to be ruled by a Sukur Man…??? Or because they think they have men of timber and Calibre who will pull the leavers of power to suit their purpose as it is happening now? Apart from that Village of MILDU there are many other places who are not even contemplating such potentially dangerous move.
And if they’re taking about inciting violence,who sent the Trucks full of soldiers to Mafer last market day,is it SALEH KINJIR who they accused of formenting chaos or the people who thought this ill advised move is capable of stirring unrest?
When they sent soldiers we all went to God in prayers and I believe the King above all Kings hears the wispers of the weak…..
I will like to stop here but not until I tell those attempting to complete the “MARGHI AGENDA” BY pushing for the change of the Name of the DISTRICT TO Mildu district,my question is simply this….. since you claimed to have the numbers why not just look for mildu district out of THE PRESENT SUKUR DISTRICT ….?? Is it also because the governor is marghi as the speak ADHOA ..?? there by making peaceful coexistence impossible…??
Power is transient so don’t throw your selves into wild goose chase because people collectively voted one of your kins men into governorship, be wise about carrying out the resolutions of your NUCTONAL TRIBAL ( AGENDA) meetings…. For KARMA IS A POTENT GODDESS
Power is transient especially tenured power, don’t go about creating more enemies than friends, because you’re ridden by the folly of Gluttony that only comes with underserved or unearned success.
