For those who have spent the last six years, defending the regime of General Muhammadu Buhari and its acquiescence to the bloodletting activities of criminality-minded herdsmen across the country, the events of the last one week should be enough to open their eyes or they remain blind permanently. Nothing has exposed the complicity of the presidency in all the killings, kidnappings, farmer/herders clashes in the South West, and nay, in every other part of the country, with similar occurrences, more than that office’s reaction to the last week’s ultimatum issued by Governor Rotimi Akeredolu to illegal herders in the state’s Forest Reserves to vacate same. The governor’s action was premised on the incessant kidnappings, killings, rape and other nefarious activities perpetrated by herdsmen in the entire state and the need to register genuine herders and apprehend those criminal elements who have overtime, infiltrated the ranks of the herdsmen.

In one of his smallest books Professor Chinua Achebe of the blessed memories made very startling claims that Nigeria has an “Igbo” problem.
In the “THE TROUBLE WITH NIGERIA”, released in 1983 and reprinted in 1985, the globally respected scholar behind the popular novel called “Things fall apart”, had written thus: “ A distinguished political scientist from a “minority” area of the south pronounced some years ago that Nigeria has an Igbo problem. Every ethnic group is of course something of a problem for Nigeria’s easy achievement of cohesive nation- hood.”
