Senator Shehu Sani Bombed: Shut Up Dear Senator Shehu Sani: Response to Senator Shehu Sani.
Wednesday, 29th April, 2026
You have the audacity to sit behind your keyboard and lecture Nigerians about patriotism when your own hands are stained with the political filth that made this country unlovable in the first place. Your post is the kind of performative nonsense that has earned you relevance you do not deserve.
Let us address your comparison properly.
South Africans love their country because their country loves them back. Nigeria cannot say the same, and the reason Nigeria cannot say the same is not Lord Lugard alone. It is people like you, Senator Shehu Sani, who have spent decades identifying red lines, drawing tribal boundaries, and whipping up religious sentiment while collecting constituency allowances from a government built on the blood of the people you pretend to defend.
South Africa does not have a tribe that wakes up every morning to slaughter farmers, kidnap schoolchildren, and then produce senators who carefully avoid naming them. South Africa does not have a Shehu Sani who speaks in riddles when the killers have faces, names, and ethnic addresses that every Nigerian already knows. South Africa does not have a Sheikh Ahmed Gumi riding into forests to negotiate with armed murderers and returning to tell cameras that the bandits have genuine grievances. South Africa does not have a National Security Adviser like Nuhu Ribadu who calls terrorists brothers and means it without shame. South Africa does not have security chiefs who recommend that killers be forgiven, rehabilitated, empowered, and reintegrated while the graves of their victims are still fresh.
South Africa does not have Islamic preachers placing bounties on the heads of pastors and evangelists for preaching the gospel. Churches are not problems in South Africa. Christian worship does not attract mob violence in South Africa. South Africa does not have a political class that is constitutionally allergic to confronting one religion when it crosses into mass murder.
South Africa has a president. Nigeria has proxies dressed in presidential robes, managed remotely by interests that have never hidden their contempt for Nigerian nationhood.
You say Nigerians curse Lord Lugard. We do not curse Lugard. We curse the arrangement that his amalgamation preserved, an arrangement that placed one group permanently above accountability, permanently first in appointments, permanently excused from the consequences of its own violence. That arrangement is what you, Senator Shehu Sani, have never had the courage to name directly even once in your entire political career.
You call Nigeria a nation born out of wedlock as an insult directed at critics. We accept that description, but we redirect it accurately. Nigeria is a bastard not because its critics said so, but because the people who claim to own it the most have treated it the worst. The Fulani herdsman who drives cattle through crops and shoots the farmer is not a patriot. The senator who refuses to call him a criminal is not a patriot either.
You want Nigerians to love their country the way South Africans love theirs? Then demand accountability the way South Africans demand accountability. Demand that killers be prosecuted regardless of religion or ethnicity. Demand that no group claims divine or historical ownership over a country that belongs to everyone. Demand that bounties on the heads of Christian preachers be treated as terrorism. Demand that Nuhu Ribadu explain in plain language why terrorists are his brothers. Do these things and watch patriotism return.
But you will not do these things, Senator Shehu Sani. You will write another poetic post. You will quote another philosopher. You will draw another red line and then complain that the country is divided.
Nigeria is not unloved because its people are broken. Nigeria is unloved because men like you broke it and then showed up to mourn the wreckage while wearing the tools of destruction around your necks like jewellery.
Go and sit down.
