 Now the original inhabitants of Nigeria's federal capital territory, Abuja, known as the Guarri people, have joined the world to mark this year's international people's or indigenous people's day. They say they present an opportunity to demand inclusion from the government like their counterparts across the world. The Guarri people say they have remained stateless despite the spread which covers states like Kaduna, Nassarara, Kogi, and Niger state. They however called on government to prevent an escalation of violence in the FCT as their agitations which have remained peaceful so far have continued to be ignored. The social cycle of the citizens, the FCT people, are seriously demoralized. We are empty. We feel we don't belong. You get my point? And when you are in that position, tell me how do you feel? You don't belong. You feel empty. You feel dismembered. It means you are not body. So if you are not body in your own country then where will you be? Where will you actually be somebody? In your own country, you are empty. Where will you belong? It's important the way they are going about their case now. They are going about it lawfully and peacefully. And perhaps maybe that is why the government is not listening. And we are telling the government it is not only those that are violent and not only that they discuss with, negotiate with and seek to address their problem. It is high time they listen to the original inhabitants. We know that the issues of the indigenous people all over the world is the same. But we have to join voices from around the world, from around the country to make it to have a force so that everybody understands that the pain of one is the pain of everybody.
