Yerima Shetima is my friend and has been one since late 80s, but I never knew he has been such hollow to accept dictates from an empty professor not worthy of such title, a professor of ineptitude; professor of sadism; professor of all sorts of inhuman bigotry; an animal in human skin like one Ango Abdullahi who Dr. Bala Yusuf Usman challenged in 1986 to prove his professorship with reference to any of his research works in any journal. Ango still don’t have any published work of academic reckoning.

That Yerima submitted himself to run errands and bear the palls for this empty professor of stupidity show to me how lucky we were during the anti military dictatorship struggles.

I met Shetima during that struggle, and like many of his likes that history has recently exposed, many of us who trusted these opportunists could have been killed through their opportunism..

Yerima Shetima has simply destroyed the better part of his own history.

As for Ango Abdullahi, he has never had any good part in history and am sure he’s not bothered, like all sadists don’t.

Yerima is my friend and he lives in Lagos not in any part of the north.

Yerima can’t hurt a fly but he has made a pronouncement capable of causing pogrom.
And that’s why any responsible government should get him a room in a maximum security jail house.

I have never met that Kanu but I think he should share a room with Yerima in jail.
Both young men are dangerous to humanity with contaminating venoms capable of flaring what they can neither sustain nor contain.

If there is a federal government in Nigeria, Ango, Yerima, Kanu and their likes should have been taken off the public space by now. Just that our government and security agencies enjoy being reactive rather than exercising their proactive prerogatives. This is how boko haram was allowed to fly far above the purview of our security capabilities.

Whether we like it or not, Yerima and Kanu have spoken.

Those of us speaking against their orders are simply speaking to ourselves

Street urchins have taken the orders, heavily armed with the commanding statements from these two.

It would be wrong calculation for our government and security agencies to wait until the expiration of the various ultimatum before picking up these warmongers.
