“Our history is replete with numerous and uncontrollable instances of callous and insensitive dominatory repressive intrigues by those who think it is their birthright to dominate till eternity the political and economic privileges of this great country to the exclusion of the people of the Middle Belt and the south. They have almost succeeded in subjugating the Middle Belt and making them voiceless and now extending same to the south.” 1990

How many more lives have been lost to the Hausa-Fulani butchery since our execution in 1990? Obviously they run into their tens of thousands. We knew this would happen and that was what we wanted to prevent. Because of the possibility of failure we wanted to leave the message which some termed unacceptable and others, premature.
.
Nigerians can be forgiven for failure to understand the necessity of excising those states in 1990. But now, how many millions of lives, how much destruction of property, infrastructure and places of worship will it take to convince skeptics that excision is the only way to stop it.

We, that laid down our lives to save you:

What is going on at home? It is a pity and may the souls of these politicians and civilians rest in perfect peace! When I was at home(Nigeria) and wearing one type of uniform or the other, I used to laugh uncontrollably when some officer tells me that "When Hawusa kill Fulani, no problem, when Fulani kill someone from Benue, no problem, as for Ilorin people, donot worry about them as dem be Eru Hawusa"
