Some Nigerians are groomed into a culture where, for instance, traversing the Sahara Desert on foot and daring the deadly current of the Mediterranean Sea are worth a risk as long as they can check out of Nigeria for a better life in Europe. Those who succeeded are working around the clock, doing every job to be able to send money home to their parents and loved ones.

Northern Politicians and the Making of Bandits.
On the other hand, it is not the same story with the Northern Youths. First of all, the majority of them are not educated. And they are nurtured into a culture where the celebration of illiteracy, AK/47, IED, Killing, kidnapping, and raping are existential normal. And that's what explains the video you're watching below - the delivery of weapons to either Bandits, Kidnappers, or Killer Herders in the forest by the sponsors and enablers.
The term "Boko Haram" did not originate from the leadership of the present-day Boko Haram sect. It was termed by Northern Technocrats and intellectuals to defeat a proposal for nationwide and federally funded Free Education at all levels. They argued that Free Education at all Levels is not in the best interest of Northerners because of Northern aversion to Western Education. They also argued that the proposed policy will widen the existing educational gaps between Northern and Southern Nigeria, based on the assumption that Southern families are more likely to embrace the program.
Well argued. But where are their children today? Attending prestigious High Schools and Universities in Europe and America, and coming home after graduation to start from where their privileged parents stop at the NNPC, CBN, and Federal Parastatals.
But the Talakawas, the Abokis, and the Almajiris are the ones you're seeing in the videos that are playing below. And that's the tragedy of the Nigerian North/South socio-economic Divide.
I am not saying this or writing this because I hate Northerners, but there's something abhorrent about most Northern Political leaders and Technocrats that they can't get rid of: SENSE OF DOMINANCE. "It is either our way or no way." And that is why bloodshed has overwhelmed the Nigerian landscape today.
While we are cascading dangerously toward extinction as a nation-state, they are there at Abuja, confused, issuing empty threats against those inciting ethnic intolerance. Who are the architects of the intolerance? Not me. Northern political leaders and their enabling Technocrats are the enemies of the state.
They are sitting on top of Nigerian crude oil wealth, has pocketed the NNPC, sending their children and wives to live abroad, while they are arming the Abokis and the Talakawas to go about kidnapping, killing, raping, and destroying private businesses all over Nigeria.
There is nothing Kanu Nnamdi is saying that is not true. Amotekun was not born out of hatred. Northern political leaders are the enemies of the Nigerian nation-state and the architects and sole beneficiaries of the North/South political divide.
