THE WORST TOOL OF AREWA: HOW TINUBU MANIPULATES A REGION THROUGH ITS ELECTED WEAKLINGS AND RELIGIOUS CONFUSION By Dahiru Yusuf Yabo The tragedy of Arewa today is not that it lacks numbers, intellect, or faith — it is that it has too many elected idiots and spiritually confused elites who have traded the soul of the North for crumbs from the southern table.

*Davidson Rotshak Lar,* a cleric & Superintendent of Police in the Nigeria Police Force died one year after posting about this Article         ________________ *We have been innundated with the word North.
