In fact, the north-west has seven states, what injustice against a people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook at the northernisation policy going on in the country. Appointments are skewed in favour of the north, in total disregard to the feelings of other areas. Key positions in the ministries, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, customs, police, you name it, are all given to northerners.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are 17 security arms, 14 of them are headed by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/06\/23\/miyetti-allah-is-behind-armed-killer-fulani-herdsmen-northern-cattle-dealers\/\">northerners<\/a>. Yet one expects that there shall be national unity. Of course, it will not be possible. There must be dissatisfaction and agitation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor instance, look at what is happening in the south-east today. Our critical national assets are being attacked almost every day. People are killed, maimed. While one is gravely against such a method of expressing grievance, the people are pushed to the wall.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe south-east geopolitical zone could rightly be described as the most disadvantaged. One could not understand why the Independent People of Biafra (IPOB) will be declared as a terrorist organization, while similar organizations in the north have not been so declared.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Clark said unity has become a \u201cscarce commodity\u201d in Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>He said lack of unity is causing distrust and heightened suspicion in many parts of the country.<\/p>\n<p>The Ijaw leader added that Nigeria must adopt restructuring to tackle insecurity and end rising agitations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnity in this country today is unfortunately a scarce commodity despite the fact that unity is one of the four cardinal points contained in our country\u2019s motto, which is unity and faith, peace and progress,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur nation has never been so disunited, as we are today. There is so much distrust. We suspect one another\u2019s next move. No nation can survive with such a level of distrust. And the major cause of disunity in the country today is inequality.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cYou do not expect me to live in unity with someone who is oppressing me, and treating me as though I am a second-class citizen in my own country. This is unacceptable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is so much agitation in the country. Fortunately, there is a solution to these issues. An action that can be taken and the nation will to a large extent be at peace; and that is to restructure Nigeria now.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A national leader of the Ijaw, Edwin Clark has stated that the south-east region is the most disadvantaged geopolitical zone in Nigeria.
