The Nigerian military just released a
statement in which they ‘explained’ why
they have not yet – after three months –
brought back our precious Chibok
abducted girls. In the statement as
presented in the media, the military
claimed that their problem was ‘bringing
back the girls alive.’
Director of Information, Defence
Headquarters, Major General Chris
Olukolade said, “To the best of our
knowledge, they are still accessible. If we
tried to force our way in, they may be
killed. If we force our way there, they will
kill them. This is what we want to avoid at
all cost; rescue operations of that nature
should not be done in a hurry. Sambisa
(forest) is not impenetrable. But let me say
it here: they mined almost everywhere
around where they are keeping these
girls.”
The position of Nigeria’s security
department under Chief of Defense staff,
Air Marshal Alex Badeh, Security head, NSA
Sambo Dasuki, Minister of defense, ex-NSA,
Spy Aliyu Gusau and ultimately the
Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces,
Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, is shameful,
wicked and embarrassingly treacherous to
put it mildly.
The girls are dead already. Quit the BS. The
girls – being raped and killed in Sambisa
forest are no better than dead. Our lazy,
unwilling, unable and impotent, corruption
riddled and grossly sabotaged security
services are a sham and disgrace. They are
afraid of dying on mission to rescue the
girls. This is the truth about their position;
harm to the girls who are harmed already
beyond human redemption, is the least of
their worries. Nigerians and the observing
international community are no idiots. We
are not in the least fooled into believing
that the preservation of life is the least of
the Nigerian security department’s
worries. The military should just quit
already and step aside so the willing
coalition of Nigerian civilian patriots
demanding the right to be armed and
allowed into Sambisa to do the dignified,
can go ahead and rescue the girls, dead or
living-dead.
We call on all international organizations to
initiate and enforce strict sanctions
against Nigeria’s government and military
personnel who have demonstrated
indignant dereliction of duty to protect life
and defend the nation against militants
armed from the nation’s armory.
According to media reports, 7 more
parents of the abducted girls have recently
passed. The pain and trauma to the direct
victims, families and larger nation can no
longer ever be meaningfully reversed. The
Nigerian military continues to stand aside
and allow Boko Haram unlimited ability to
reign full and uninhibited terror on
Nigeria, including the continued abduction
of even more innocent victims, with over
90 including 60 females, being abducted
again this past month.
We the people vote no confidence in the
Jonathan regime and the current military
leadership of Nigeria.
We urge all traditional leaders and
international players with the fear of God
at heart and the will to act and act firmly
towards the preservation of human life,
safety, dignity and hope, to come out and
press for real and clear action against
terror.
In the recognition of the unwillingness
and inability of the nation’s security
services to perform their constitutional
duties and paid obligations to the nation,
we demand the Nigerian government
immediately respond to the request of the
people, the Civilian-JTF, Vigilante’s in the
north east, traditional hunters and
thousands of Nigerian willing and patriotic
youth across the country, for the right and
support of the government, to be armed
appropriately and allowed to enter
Sambisa forest to engage Boko Haram and
rescue all abductees, ASAP, dead or living-
as-dead. Government armed civilians are
currently the resisting force in Iraq against
the ISIS advance. Similarly, armed civilian
patriots were key to checking a similar
reign of terror in Algeria in the 90’s ‘Black
decade.’ It is time for our government to
act responsibly and stop aiding and
promoting the genocide of its vulnerable,
defenseless farming and trading, northern
communities.
We the people, further call on the military
to pull out of the north east. It can no
longer be argued that the military
presence in the conflict parts presents
greater safety to life than it facilitates and
exacerbates insecurity and danger to the
communities of northern farmers most
severely affected in this pogrom. Boko
Haram are armed today with weapons
from Nigeria’s armory. The terrorists
continue to easily sack military installations
and obtain sophisticate
