THE VOICELESS NORTH

Everyday comes with so many unreported or underreported tragic stories in Zamfara state. 

Deaths from bullets, abduction and rapes is becoming a routine mourned momentarily only by the victims and the bereaved and not leaders. 

Our Northern elites are the cause of our own woes! We don't have a voice of our own. No media power to tell our own sorry story. In vain do we boast of being more politically oriented since pre-colonial period than our Southern counterpart when the media mouthpieces belong to them. 

We are as weightless as feather even with "our" richest man who is capable of establishing a media as big and famous as CNN and Aljazeera. It is pathetic that most Northern satellite television channels are devoted to local movies many of which deform rather than inform. Some of them are morally detrimental to our children and they swerve our attention from our real problems.
