Yugoslavia, before its disintegration, practiced a mixture of socialism and federalism. Of all the nations lumped together in that one state, the Serbs – just like the Nigerian Fulanis – dominated every sector of the government and the army. They oppressed other regions and tried to keep them from seceding. Yet a time came when Slovenia and Croatia, having had enough, opted out.
The Serbs, dominant of the state, tried to stop them, but the seceding duo pushed on with referendum after which arms struggle became inevitable. Blood was shed, souls were lost, yet both Slovenia and Croatia achieved independence, leading to a total disintegration of Yugoslavia and the emergence of eight separate states.
A cross-examination of the situation in the Nigerian state today will show that the Zoo mistaken for a country is headed the way of Yugoslavia. The incessant killings by the Islamic foot soldiers in the guise of Fulani herdsmen, the unprecedented procurement of arms by Miyetti Alla, the Fulanization of the army and every other government sector, are all a replica of the Serbian attitude which plunged Yugoslavia into a disaster from which it never recovered.

The western part of the country – the Yoruba – has already floated its own security arm – the Amotekun. There’s no gainsaying that Amotekun is a reaction to the insecurity in the country created by the dominant and subjugating Fulani Islamic fundamentalists. Amotekun is a Yoruba army in disguise. The west knows what is to come and unlike the insensitive subservient lots in the East masquerading as Igbo leaders, they don’t want to be taken aback.
The failed British experiment called Nigeria is made up of three regions – North, East and West. The North is the aggressor, the West by way of floating Amotekun seems prepared, but the East? Just like the people of Bosnia in disintegrated Yugoslavia, the East, rather than equip self against the coming tempest, deludes self with political correctness and phantom peace.

The East either purges self of the docile pathogens or suffers the fate of Bosnia – the worst affected region of the Yugoslavian conflict. The line of division between the riverine area and the hinterland as drawn by the Nigerian government in connivance with the British must be quickly erased and the people united to form a common front capable of rebuffing the northern aggression. A stitch in time, they say, saves nine.
