In Nigeria today, all humans are equal, but some humans are more equal than others.

                                                                            

All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others. A proclamation by the pigs who control the government in the novel Animal Farm, by George Orwell. 

In Nigeria today, all humans are equal, but some humans are more equal than others.   

I read in the Newspaper that Nigeria signed MOU to import fuel from the Niger republic and I wondered how a Nation that discovered crude oil in large quantity for the past 50 years cannot boast of a functioning refinery, is that not a shame to Nigeria? 

People from the oil-producing communities that have been dehumanized with oil pollution and land degradation from the oil spillage in their communities cannot boast of any crude oil refinery in their land but of course, the Nigeria Government of today can lay pipe from those communities to the Niger Republic for storage, refined and import it back to Nigeria. 

Today the federal government headed by Buhari a Fulani like the pigs in the novel Animal Farm are telling us we are lesser human to them even though they contribute nothing to the national coffer, like in the novel Animal Farm where the pig's control the government and were lord over other laborious animals.

Like what is playing out today in Nigeria, Napoleone the pig was the leader of all animals. He sets other animals to work; he gives back to them the bare minimum that will prevent them from starving, and the rest he keeps for himself and for the pigs, the special animals in the novel Animal Farm.

The Buhari lead Government came to power through the slogan of building 1 refinery each for four years, create 3 Million jobs every year but all he could do was to close the already functioning refineries, lay pipe from oil-producing states to the Niger republic to store, refine and import the fuel back to Nigeria and gave Dangote a license to build a refinery in Lagos not even in one of the oil-producing states. During the lockdown according to reports, Dangote was giving access to operate within Nigeria and through the border which was closed for other lesser Nigerians and I heard some Nigerians lamenting and I asked myself why? Were they not in Nigeria when Nigeria's Government banned Ibeto cement from importing or producing cement because of Dangote Cement? Check all the federal agencies in Nigeria today are they not headed by Buhari brethren?  How about the proscription of the unarmed Indigenous People of Biafra by the Buhari lead Government while leaving the murderous Fulani herdsmen to roam and murder farmers and indigenous Nigerians at will?  

But most of the injustices today in Nigeria couldn't have happened if not for unjust state creation in the southeast that gave the so-called south-south most of the Igbo oil-producing communities and championed abandoned properties in Rivers State while making it looks like there are no Igbo communities in the so-called south-south if you look at Governor Nyesom Wike utterances and actions in Obigbo in oyigbo local Government.

Like in the novel Animal Farm, if there was one thing that the animals were completely certain of, it was that they did not want Jones back. As it is playing out to date in Nigeria and so-called South-South if there is anything they don't want to hear even though it exists but to satisfy their ego is to hear that Igbo belong or exist in their artificial kingdom carved and named south south cum Niger Delta by their Northern military men.

What happened in Rivers State have shown these people don't care a bit whether Zamfara State is controlling their own Gold while crude oil from their respective states is shared by their lords from Katsina and the Niger Republic but at least they are happy Igbo doesn't belong in their artificial kingdom the South-South but somebody should tell them that Igbos are not their problem as for hydrocarbon three Igbo states are among the oil-producing states in Nigeria, Namely Anambra, Imo, Abia State.

The only thing left to save the deprived and humanized Nigerians is to unite and stand up against Fulani's lead oppression against indigenous Nigerians and say no to the injustice of any kind.
