A former Minister of Education, Alhaji Dauda Birma, says Nigeria is at war promoted by outside forces with the help of internal collaborators.
He said that these forces were exploiting the country’s fault lines in their bid to divide and destroy the nation.
Birma identified the fault lines as North-South dichotomy, zonal divide, religion and politics, adding that they seemed to be increasing.
“It is definite that Nigeria is at war promoted by outside forces with the assistance or collaboration of inside forces.
“Once people have made up their mind that they will destroy a country, you do not know what they are planning; they can come to you from every direction, but you cannot plan against them, and you are forced to react to what they have done because they always have the advantage of the initiative because they have targeted you.

“These people are using the internal contradictions of this country, using the faults lines, which are very obvious, exploring, utilising every device that they can use to take advantage of the fault lines.
“The fault lines seem to be increasing, we used to have the North-South dichotomy, and then we have this issue of zonal divide, we brought religion into it, and now there is politics and everything anybody can think of is utilised against us,” Birma said.
According to him, Nigerians must pray for God’s intervention as the forces militating against the nation’s progress are “numerous, invisible and vicious”.
“I can only say, only God will save Nigeria because the forces that are arraigned against the country are numerous, invisible and vicious,” the Sarkin Gabas Adamawa said.
