Nigeria's continued existence is, in my view, conditional. Its unityis, contrary to the position held by former President OlusegunObasanjo and others who have enjoyed the Nigerian mistress, negotiable. Any time Nigeria collapses, it would be because of the (core) North, the ugly parasite that continues to suck Igbo and other blood.Kaduna Nzeogwu led a band of angry soldiers to halt the murderous regime of Alhaji Tafawa Balewa, whose government, in concert with the Premier of the Northern region, Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, was planning a massive annihilation of the leaders of the West. The coup was foiled by Odumegwu Ojukwu, a fellow Igbo, but this fact did not stop the pogrom his people experienced during the 1967-70 civil war, and ever since. Adewale Ademoyega wrote 'Why we struck' to document issues for posterity, but a comedian followed this up with 'Why they struck,' talking gibberish. In Plateau State, Fulani brigands regularly kill the local people, and the people would prefer to stay with the South if the nation ceases to exist by 2015 or at a later date. In giving massive support to President Goodluck Jonathan, the people had hoped that he would alleviate their burden, particularly the constant hausa-fulani madness in Jos. But a president cannot appear sectional, and so there is a very brutal war locked in the webs of the bloody future, to finally(') settle the Plateau question.Indian-hemping Northern youths, mobilised by their leaders, slaughtered thousands of southerners and a few fellow northerners in the wake of the announcement of Dr Goodluck Jonathan as the winner of the April 2011 presidential election. They slaughtered defenceless National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members from the South who were in the bloody zone on national service, crying Allahu Akbar and reinforcing their bestiality. They burnt Christian places of worship, ripped open pregnant women, doused vehicles in heavily subsidized petrol, stabbed school children from the south, and went back home to prepare further assaults on the nation. They were never brought to book for their grievous crimes.The Niger Delta militants to whom to whom the Federal Government gave amnesty'and this is not to justify their brigandage'belong to a region that had been brutally oppressed and mindlessly exploited for decades, but the Boko Haram which the leeches in the North have propped up are a band of renegades without such a history. They may have been poor, but they were never at any time the subject of determined official neglect; it was their people who ruled the nation for decades and if they had any issues with them, they should have visited their anger on their leaders. They should have gone to Babangida, Buhari, Abubakar and others and sorted out their grievances. That would have been perfectly normal in Nigeria's orgy of lawlessness.But what do we find' We find Sultan Sa'ad Abubakar rehabilitating 'Islam' in the face of mindless slaughter by Boko Haram, and calling for the implementation of the Solomon Lar report in Plateau State when a Boko Haram madness has taken place in another state. The Plateau federal lawmakers are justifiably angry at this treachery. Islam in the North is a very bloody religion, and a potent tool in the hands of parasites. A religious war will not occur in Yorubaland, and the Boko Haram cretins calling their ''Muslim Brothers' to return to the North are definitely not speaking on behalf of Yoruba Muslims.Who are those Boko haram criminals allegedly planning to kill President Jonathan, Senator David Mark and COAS Azubuike Ihejirika' They are the same group of people who attack northern leaders who have risen beyond the sectional interest'Babangida Aliyu, Namadi Sambo, Sule Lamido and many others.Dialoguing with devils yields no results; my own solution to mindless force is a greater force. Boko Haram can never be tamed via dialogue; impulsively violent criminals will only bow to a greater force. They will turn jellies within a decisive moment, when members of their family are rounded up, shot in the night, and dumped in the river so that they could stink and afflict their complicit neighbours, as soldiers go after the bastards and burn their compounds to the ground, and as the destruction is total, based on efficient intelligence and networking.The constant slaughter of Igbo people and other southerners in the North will have repercussions. Already, a group, Ogbunigwe, has promised a bomb for a bomb. Nigeria may be heading for total destruction if the criminals in the core North who have made this nation so hopelessly blood-drenched are not made to atone for their grievous crimes. Many believe that it is high time Nigeria broke up, if human blood would continue to be shed in the manner we have seen in recent times. Wanton bloodshed cannot be the price the country must pay for its continued existence. The country could explore the confederation option for a start. To do otherwise and pretend that all is well is to dig its grave. To dig a grave is a sad story, but the story becomes sadder when the digger is told that he must be buried in it.'For whom is it well, for whom is it well' There is no one for whom it is well,' said a line in Things Fall Apart. All is not well with Nigeria, with its census-rigging, blood-spilling, supremacist, over-remunerated and over-pampered and irredeemably corrupt North.Awolaja is on the Politics Desk of the Nigerian Tribune
