[Opinion] Àmòtékùn: Symbolism and misrepresentations

…a leopard shall watch over their cities; everyone that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces, because their transgressions are many and their backslidings are increased

Unlike the securitised elite who constitute a hard-to-reach targets, the rest of us are described as soft targets by megaphone ministers and aides. But when they become victims such as when a governors’ convoy was attacked by suspected kidnappers on our hellish highways, the message sank that there is a need to bury party affiliation and religions contours.

Unfortunately, Nigeria’s politics thrives on disunity and divisions. This approach to politics was inherited from the colonial power for administrative exploitation of the colonised nations in Nigeria. Post-colonial Nigeria is still characterised by government’s efforts to factionalise unions, groups and associations to their own benefit.

The characters who embody the leopard spots will not change . Àmòtékùn is certainly a threat to the business interest of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria. The association views a complementary security outfit as a ploy to chase them out of the region. They need not worry but need to behave in conformity with the norms of society which they have decided to be part of.
