Dear North,
\nThis is how is done,#NorthIsBleeding<\/a> #NorthIsBleeding<\/a> Yes we know North is bleeding but you never act toward your problems seeking a solid solution.
\nAmplifies your voices, protest day and night 24\/7, the incompetent people in power hate protest just like #EndSARS<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/U8AYveHEXA<\/p>\n

While we are mourning the arson killing of tens of poor passengers in Sokoto state, the Nigerian President, @MBuhari<\/a> of @OfficialAPCNg<\/a> is in Lagos attending a book launch of a political ally. Zero empathy for the people. Crass irresponsibility of a leader. #NorthIsBleeding<\/a><\/p>\n

The North has failed the North. We did this to ourselves. From our leaders who have so far been selfish, to us the citizens who have allowed ourselves to be deceived by both scholars and politicians. Everyone is mute now!!! #NorthIsBleeding<\/a><\/p>\n

Buhari has no single element of empathy & he surrounded himself with likeminded people.
\nBut on the other hand, how can we have 360 HRM,109 Senators and no single one among them could raised an impeachment motion against the President for all this incompetence.#NorthIsBleeding<\/a><\/p>\n

Our leaders are in Abuja feeling secured
\nWe are in towns feeling secured
\nOur ppl are getting killed everyday in rural areas
\nOur rural regions are our roots, our foundations, if they go down, we go down, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s scary how we have accepted these killings as normal. #NorthIsBleeding<\/a><\/p>\n
