MAI TATSINE, BOKO HARAM AND CAN: THE
BITTER TRUTH

“Marwa Maitatsine, was a
Christian until his
death!!
Back in 1954, there ware
series of meetings
by the highest body of
Christian association
in the northern Nigeria, in
Jos, which I
happened to be the
secretary, taking the
minutes of that meeting
(then, I was an
undergraduate student of
Christian
Theology). Part of the
result of that meeting
was, to sponsor some
people among ‘us’ to
go to Arab countries as
new Muslim converts,
and learn Arabic and Islam.
Their mission is to
come back to Nigeria as
Muslims clerics, use
their Islamic knowledge to
preach violence,
distort original Islamic
teachings and if
possible cause a riot in the
North that will
make northern Nigeria a
history. Five people
were nominated for the
job, and sent to
Sudan to start their
mission. 3 of them
refused to come back and
execute their plan,
but spent the rest of their
lives in Sudan as
true Muslims. The
remaining two;
Muhammad
Marwa and Birema came
back, Marwa was
sent to Kano, and Birema
was sent to Niamey
Niger Republic.”….Pro

Professor Dauda Ojobi, a
former secretary of
Northern Christian
Association of Nigeria
(CAN), a retired Professor in
Benue State
University faculty of Law,
the 3rd Reverend
Father from northern
Nigeria, after Paul
Gindiri, and Ganaka, The
first Nigerian
overseer of Baptist Church
in Kaduna, and
One time commissioner of
Justice in Bauchi
State.
Mai Tatsine the obsolete
version of Boko
Haram, which began their
reign in late 50’s in
Kano and some other parts
of Northern
Nigeria, their ideologies
were similar to that
of Boko Haram, they
forbade what Islam
allowed, and allowed what
Islam made
haram. They claimed
western education is
sin, they rejected anything
brought by
technology, they were
popular with saying,
wearing a wrist watch is
haram, using radios
and television is haram
e.t.c. (considering the
technological advancement
of that period).
The spiritual leader of
Maitatsine movement
was Muhammad Marwa
a.k.a Mai Tatsine. The
Emir of Kano Sanusi, once
suspected
Maitasine as fake Muslim
when he discovered
Maitatsine received goods
from Vatican
Palace. After sarki
confirmed his findings, he
expelled Maitatsine out of
Kano, in early 60’s.
Mai Tatsine was later
brought back to Kano
by Gov. Rimi in 1979. Rimi
believed that
Maitatsine would help him
win his reelection
through charm. After the
Maitatsine’s death,
Shagari, the then President
set a Anya Goru
panel to investigate the
crises. Prof. Dauda
has made his submission in
that panel, but
when the President, saw
the report, he said
no, the white paper will
not be issued on this
report, because it may
result to crises, so the
white paper was not
issued, till date.
Professor Dauda became
Muslim in 1966,
after he came back from
Rome, where he
went to further his studies,
in Christian
Theology. He is still alive
and has become a
Muslim preacher for over
40 years. What I
quoted above was from his
lecture I attended
in Bauchi, 2002.
Ever since, no any Christian
scholar or CAN
executive denied this
statement from Prof.
Dauda . Are they waiting
for his death before
they deny it?
-Security operatives that
always claim they
want uproot the Boko
Haram mayhem did
not investigate in that
angle, why?
-Why the relationship
between Jerry Gana
(CAN chieftain) and
Muhammad Yusuf,
founder of Bokoharam?
The former has
bailed the later from police
custody several
times.
-I see a double standard
approach and
hypocrisy by the security
personnel, in the
investigation.
-I began to believe Boko
Haram is the
creation of some enemies
of Islam possibly
CAN (not Christian), is never
a creation of
Muslims.
-Remember, Hillary Clinton
once said Taliban
is their creation, to fight
Russians.
I beg your pardon, if this
write up hurt you
in any form, it’s not
intended, but facts need
to be set straight. I
promised to upload the
audio lecture from the Prof.
Himself for your
digestion.
-Umar Ibrahim Tafida

Rubbish! Christianity cannot be blamed for you peoples stupidity. Not this time.
