| “How can anyone describe Nigeria as being free when the words Christ, Church, Christianity or Christian are not mentioned ONCE in the constitution and when the word Sharia is mentioned 73 times, Grand Khadi 54 times, Islam 29 times and Muslims 10 times?” (Femi Fani-Kayode) |
Last month, General Mohammadu Buhari-led Federal Government, after wasting the lives of defenceless Igbo youths—peaceful Biafran agitators—went ahead to declare the peaceful Independent People of Biafra (IPOB) “a terrorist organisation.” Nobody—not one “Igbo leader”—uttered a word. But a few days later only foreigners—particularly the United States Government—countered Buhari’s Islamic government of lies. (See: We don’t see IPOB as terrorist organisation – US).
From the year 2015 when he assumed office till date, General
Buhari has been proving to sceptical observers like us that he is indeed a
Satanic agent, whose mission is partly to exterminate, if possible, the entire
Igbo race. He systematically started by first ensuring that the Igbos are kept
out of his Islamic government, and by stopping several pro-Igbo projects—such
as that of the River Niger Bridge—which the previous PDP government started.
Still not satisfied, then he started killing us. The killings
started in that very year in which he was elected. Several lives of the Igbo
people have been wasted and this he does wilfully. His target is IPOB, because he knows what IPOB, unlike MASSOB and others that cannot bite, stands for. Buhari, after wasting the lives of several members of
IPOB, declared the same organisation “a terrorist organisation” — but he goes
about defending the deadly Islamic Boko Haram that has wasted over 20, 000
lives of innocent Nigerians between 2010 and 2017. As I wrote in a 2015 article:
“...as the 2015 election drew near, the same Buhari contradictorily
asked the Federal Government to stop the clampdown of Boko Haram “insurgents”, saying
Niger Delta Militants were never killed or properties belonging to them
destroyed. Buhari, who spoke on a Liberty Radio programme, accused the
government of killing and destroying houses belonging to Boko Haram members
while the Niger Delta militants got special treatment. He said that unlike the
special treatment given to the Niger Delta militants by the federal government,
the Boko Haram members were being killed and their houses demolished by the
government. While accusing Jonathan of failing from the beginning to address
the security situation in the country, Buhari said he had never been in support
of the state of emergency in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states. According to
Buhari, 'what is responsible for the
security situation in the country is caused by the activities of Niger Delta militants.
Every Nigerian that is familiar with what is happening knows this. The Niger
Delta militants started it all. What happened is that the governors of the
Niger Delta at that time wanted to win their elections, so they recruited
youths and gave guns and bullets to them to use against their opponents to win
elections by force. After the elections, they asked the boys to return the
guns, and the boys refused to do so. Because of that the allowance that was
being given to them by the governors was stopped.'” (See: Jonathan, Northern Muslims and Boko Haram Saga!)
The fact that no one has, till now, questioned Buhari over his killing of Biafrans remains a mystery, but a mystery which Chief Fani-Kayode, a Protestant and an intellectual, partly exposes in his article below.
While the killings have been going on, and while the likes of Fani-Kayode, a Yoruba, have been voicing out, the self-acclaimed "Igbo leaders" as well as "Catholic leaders" in the country, have been keeping
quiet. Of course, the silence of the latter—that is, the “Catholic leaders”—is understandable:
they are not just secularists but are simply worse than atheists, so they are
always indifferent when it comes to religious issues of this nature. As for the former—the “Igbo
leaders”—they have been keeping quiet because they are selfish persons who,
over the years, have plunged Igbo land into a complete mess. Selfish leaders
who don’t speak the mind of an average Igbo man or woman; selfish leaders whose
business is always to protect their personal interests. These are persons who
are ready to betray the entire Igbo land provided their Abuja national cake is
assured—persons who, over the years, have been keeping quiet on the Igbo
predicament in Nigeria ostensibly for fear of losing their positions in the
country, who only murmur and agree with Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB leader, in closed
circles, but condemn him any time their positions appear to be threatened.
Who wants to lose his position? Who wants to lose his source of livelihood? Who
wants to speak against a system that harbours him, a system that feeds him?
Selfish and greedy leaders who are ever ready to sacrifice their brothers and
sisters at the altar of money. Indeed Buhari appears to have been succeeding in
his Satanic agenda against the Igbos because of these selfish and greedy
politicians.
In May 2000 Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, founder of new Biafran
movement, stated rightly that the need for a “New Biafra” is motivated by the
“unprovoked and organised killing of our people in Nigeria”. The killings are
being carried out by the Hausa/Fulani Islamists—Buhari’s people—of course.
Now—with regards to these killings—just to mention one out of innumerable
cases because of space: On June 2, 2016, Bridget Agbahime, an Igbo woman, was
brutally murdered in Kano by northern Muslim youths over allegations of
“blasphemy.” The killers of Bridget Agbahime, led by one Dauda, were caught and
arrested but were quickly set free by a Kano State magistrate court. Then they
went after the life of Bridget’s husband, Mr Agbahime. Of course, the plot to
kill Mr Agbahime was because he was a principal witness to the murder of his
wife. He was present at the scene of the murder and knows the suspects one on
one. Hear him:
“I want justice done in the matter. They killed my wife in my
presence, yet the court presumed them innocent. The south east governors, the
Senators, and interest groups should rise up to get the culprits re-arrested
and tried. I know Dauda and all those that killed my wife but now, they are
telling me they are not guilty. Based on what law did they pronounce him
innocent? The suspects confessed and Dauda mentioned those that participated in
the killing but up till now, they have not been arrested since police has
finished investigation. On that day, the group of boys chanting Alla kubahu
overtook that shopping plaza, climbed upstairs, pulled down the iron with which
they killed my wife.” (Read

Today that case, among other innumerable cases, has been buried—just
like several cases of Igbo bloods shed by Buhari from 2015 till date are being
buried!
Last month Buhari’s Islamic government declared to the world
that IPOB is “a terrorist organisation”. Was it surprising that terribly
dishonest Arewa Youths, just about two months earlier, after giving the Igbos
residing in the north “a quit notice” to vacate the region, asked the UN—in
their so-called letter to the UN, dated 12th of July, 2017—to “pronounce Kanu
and IPOB as terror outfits, proscribe their activities and initiate criminal
actions against them.” (Read more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/07/arewa-youths-ask-un-pronounce-ipob-terror-group-say-kanu-finally-crossed-boundaries/).
Of course the UN ignored them, then Buhari acted two months after.
Do we see the correlation between the statement made by the Arewa Youths about two months ago and that of Buhari-led Federal Government a few weeks ago?
Do we see the correlation between the statement made by the Arewa Youths about two months ago and that of Buhari-led Federal Government a few weeks ago?
Do you wonder why things are happening this way in Nigeria?
Fani-Kayode tells us the reason in the article below, which he wrote about a month ago. “How can anyone describe Nigeria as being free when the words Christ,
Church, Christianity or Christian are not mentioned ONCE in the constitution
and when the word Sharia is mentioned 73 times, Grand Khadi 54 times, Islam 29
times and Muslims 10 times?” he asks.
Of course, Nigerian “Christians”—both “Catholic leaders” who clamour
for a “secular State” and are, as secularists, indifferent when it comes to
religious issues, and the Protestant “clergy” whose main reason for being "Christian" is money—don’t just have
the time to ask a question like this, and others below. (Note: the British who
colonised the country were also secularists and atheists and that’s why they
didn’t bother about the religious issues before merging the different tribes
together). Chief Fani-Kayode poses the questions not just because he is an
intellectual but because he cherishes his Protestant "Christian" Faith, and because he is just fearless. It is also because of things like
these that Biafran agitation started. IPOB members as well as other agitators
for Biafra recognise Nigeria for exactly what it is—an Islamic State—and that’s partly the reason why they want a secession.
Buhari understands this very well—hence the very reason why he declared them
“terrorists”!
The article:
by Chief Femi Fani-Kayode
“I freed a thousand slaves. I could have freed a thousand
more if only they knew they were slaves”- Harriet Tubman
How can anyone describe Nigeria as a free nation when Sheik
Othman Dan Fodio, the hero of the core Muslim north, the father of the Fulani
Caliphate and the first Mahdi of Nigeria once said,
“Allah has bestowed on me and my people the historic duty to
spread the holy faith of the Prophet throughout the Caliphate and convert these
pagans. If they refuse to accept Allah and his Prophet we will wash the earth,
the forests, the mountains, the rivers and the streams with their pagan blood.
Ours is a holy and righteous calling. We are doing the work of Allah”?
How can anyone describe Nigeria as a free nation when Sir
Ahmadu Bello, the Saurdana of Sokoto, the Premier of the Northern Region and
the second Mahdi of Nigeria once said,
“The new nation called Nigeria should be an estate of our
great grandfather Othman Dan Fodio. We must ruthlessly prevent a change of
power. We use the minorities in the north as willing tools and the south as conquered
territory and never allow them to rule over us and never allow them to have
control over their future”?
How can anyone describe Nigeria as being free when General
Muhammadu Buhari, the indisputable King of the north, the avenging sword of the
Caliphate, the almighty President of the Federal Republic, the unquestionable
leader of the African Mujahadeen and the third and last Mahdi of Nigeria once
said,
“It is my intention to spread sharia to every part of
Nigeria” and that “why should Christians bother when Muslims chop off the hands
of Muslims in the name of sharia?” and that “Muslims should only vote for
Muslims” and finally that “an attack on Boko Haram is an attack on the north”?
What portion do those of us that are southerners and Middle
Belters have in this so-called “free country” and why have we been consistently
denied the right to decide whether we wish to remain in it by having a
referendum?
Were we born to be slaves whilst others were born to rule?
God forbid it. My Christian faith teaches me that I am the head and not the
tail.
It teaches me that it is a sore sight and a great evil under
the sun to see the sons of slaves riding on horseback whilst the sons of the
King walk around on bare feet.
It teaches me that we are the head and not the tail and that
light is meant to overcome darkness and not that darkness overcomes the light.
The truth is that whichever way you look at it Nigeria is not
free and Nigeria is not one nation.
We are in bondage and servitude to the sons and daughters of
Futa Jalon and we are badly divided. That is the subject of this essay.
Permit me to share some bitter truths here.
I repeat, Nigeria is not a nation. As a matter of fact she
was NEVER a nation. She is and has always been a monumental fraud and a
manifestation of colonial Britain’s doublespeak and deceit.
In 1947 she was rightly described as a “mere geographical
expression” by Chief Obafemi Awolowo but since then she has degenerated even
further.
Today she is is no longer a “mere geographical expression”
but instead a fully-fledged and dysfunctional vassal state and a colony of
timid slaves that is owned lock, stock and barrel by the all-powerful,
all-seeing and all-knowing Fulani hegemonists.
Yet in their pitiful delusion and blissful ignorance some
still claim that we are a free modern nation-state where all are equal.
My questions for those that actually believe this nonsensical
assertion and that espouse this erroneous notion are as follows:
How can anyone describe Nigeria as being free when Christian
Religious Knowldge (CRK) is removed from the curriculum and Islamic Arabic
Studies (IAS) is made compulsory?
How can anyone describe Nigeria as being free when Christians
are banned BY LAW from buying land to build churches in most parts of the core
north?
How can anyone describe Nigeria as being free when every
single security and intelligence agency in the nation except for the Navy is
headed by a northern Muslim?
How can anyone describe Nigeria as being free when there are
NO Christian commanders (i.e. those that have operational control over troop
deployments) in charge of STRATEGIC commands in the Nigerian Army today?
How can anyone describe Nigeria as being free when ALL the
STRATEGIC commands in the Nigerian Army are in the hands of Muslims?
How can anyone describe Nigeria as being free when ALL the
units under the Education Ministry are headed by northern Muslims and the
Minister of Education himself is a Muslim?
How can anyone describe Nigeria as being free when the words
Christ, Church, Christianity or Christian are not mentioned ONCE in the
constitution and when the word Sharia is mentioned 73 times, Grand Khadi 54
times, Islam 29 times and Muslims 10 times?
How can anyone describe Nigeria as being free when, since
Buhari came to power, any mention of Jesus or God is censored out of Nigerian
films by the Nigerian Censors Board whilst the word Allah is mentioned freely?
How can anyone describe Nigeria as being free when there is
an obvious and relentless attempt to islamise the country?
How can anyone describe Nigeria as being free when there was
an attempt by President Buhari to quietly pass a law that will give large
tracts of land to Fulani herdsmen in every state of the Federation so that they
can infiltrate, settle down in, breed with and eventually overwhelm and take
over all the communities in which they were given that land?
How can anyone describe Nigeria as being free when the
Federal Government refuses to arrest the elderly Professor Ango Abdullahi and
the rebellious, recalcitrant, blood-baying and bloodthirsty Arewa youths and
lock them ALL up for their implicit threat to commit genocide against the Igbo
if they don’t leave the north by 1st October?
How can anyone describe Nigeria as being free when the Arewa
Youths can send an open letter to the Acting President describing the entire
Igbo race as ingrates who have “not learnt their lessons from the past” and who
“ought to be thrown out of the north” and “out of Nigeria?”
How can anyone describe Nigeria as being free when the Northern Youth Leaders Forum (NYLF) can tell the Federal Government that
“Nigeria will boil”, that there will be “a crisis that will spiral beyond
control if the Arewa youths are arrested” and that “the Presidency will not be
allowed to go to the south under any circumstances in 2019”?
How can anyone describe Nigeria as being free when well-armed
Fulani militants and herdsmen commit genocide against whole communities and yet
not one of them has been arrested?
How can anyone describe Nigeria as being free when cows (yes
cows!) drive children out of their classrooms in Edo state and drive worshippers
out of their churches in Benue state?
How can Nigeria be described as being free when Miyetti Allah
appears to be above the law?
How can anyone describe Nigeria as being free when we are
about to enter a season of carnage, chaos and anomie and when the Federal
Government has shown no desire or inclination to deliver our people from those
who believe that they own Nigeria and who wish to drink our blood and eat our
flesh?
How can anyone describe Nigeria as being free when those in
power today together with the entire Hausa-Fulani ruling class have
consistently said no to restructuring?
How can anyone describe Nigeria as being free when the cabal
that know that Buhari’s health will not allow him to come back to rule wish to
use the slaughter of the Igbo as a reason and a scapegoat to cause CRISIS in
the country and truncate our democracy rather than allow a Southern Christian
President to continue in power?
How can anyone describe Nigeria as being free when the
leaders of the ruling APC are considered as being above the law and
continuously commit all manner of crimes and acts of corruption with impunity
whilst dissenters, opposition figures and the perceived enemies of the
government are subjected to horrendous persecution, media trials and the brazen
violation of their human rights and civil liberties?
How can anyone describe Nigeria as being free when the
welfare of cows and the interest of cattle-rearers are more important than that
of hard-working and productive patriots and innocent young school children?
How can anyone describe Nigeria as being free when, since
Buhari came to power, it is very difficult for a northern Christian to get
admission into Ahmadu Bello University, the leading institution of higher
learning in northern Nigeria?
How can anyone describe Nigeria as being free when there is a
strange Arabic insignia and unintelligible Arabic words apparently depicting
Othman Dan Fodio’s battle cry inscribed on the coat of arms of the Nigerian
Army?
How can anyone describe Nigeria as being free when English is
replaced with Hausa in Nigerian army parades?
How can anyone describe Nigeria as being free when President
Muhammadu Buhari openly expresses his disdain for the Igbo and encourages the
hate-speech and threats that they are being subjected to today?
How can anyone describe Nigeria as being free when Acting
President Yemi Osinbajo will allege that there is corruption in the Church but
dare not allege that there is corruption in the mosques?
How can anyone describe Nigeria as being free when the Acting
President condemns what he describes as “hate speech” yet refuses to arrest
and detain those who not only kill Christians, southerners and Middle Belters
but who also incite their murderous footsoldiers against them every day?
I could go on and on.
What those that continuously threaten others with violence
and carnage fail to appreciate is as follows: for every Mujahadeen there is a
crusader. For every tyrant there is a deliverer. For every oppressor there is a
freedom fighter. For every globalist there is a nationalist.
For every integrationist there is a separatist. For every
lily-livered and chicken-hearted coward there is a courageous and valiant hero
and for every Goliath there is a David.
Yet despite our collective and pitiful servitude there is a
silver lining on this very dark cloud.
The demand for restructuring or, failing that,
self-determination and full-blown independence is now very strong amongst the
progressive forces and the long-oppressed ethnic nationalities in the land.
This, coupled with the demand by the leaders of the three
southern zones that the Arewa youths must withdraw their threat to the Igbo, is
commendable and historic.
They have also issued a timely warning that an attack on the
Igbo would be deemed as an attack on the entire south. This gives us hope.
This indicates to us that the tree of liberty will soon be
watered by the blood of the patriots and tyrants as it once was in the history
of each and every one of the great western democracies.
This proves that we are finally ready to pay the terrible
price for our collective freedom and to make the necessary sacrifices.
Simply put, the yoke and affliction of slavery and bondage
shall soon be broken and Nigeria shall soon be free.
The first Nigerian civil war was about keeping Nigeria one.
The second will be about winning our freedom.
