PRESS RELEASE:
CASH-LOADED JET AND WEAPONS DEAL: IT IS A CONSPIRACY AGAINST MUSLIMS
 
 
Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor was alleged to have admitted ownership of a private jet seized last weekend by South African authorities. The aircraft was stashed with $9.3 million in cash meant for arms purchase. In the same vein, the Federal Government (FG) issued a statement yesterday admitting ownership of the cash. Oritsejafor has sought to extenuate the deal by claiming that the jet was hired out by Eagle Air in which the pastor himself has “residual interest”.
 
The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) is alarmed by this scandalous development. We have every reason to reject FG’s explanation and it is hereby rejected. Government is being economical with the truth. We suspect a grand conspiracy against Nigerian Muslims in this latest revelation.
 
Nigerian Muslims are enveloped with apprehension. All the ingredients of a plot are here for those who care to look beyond their noses. In a country in which two religions are most prominent and are hot rivals of each other, here is the national leader of a religious group who also happens to be the president’s kinsman, an undisguised Muslim hater, a man with a belligerent disposition towards his Muslim neighbours, a man who has been threatening hell and brimstone over the Boko Haram saga. Tie this to the Israeli connection, a country well known for its anti-Muslim and mass murder propensities. It raises more questions than answers.
 
For instance, was the intended arms purchase really meant for the Nigerian Armed Forces? What is the guaranty that it was not meant for Niger Delta militants, or Christian crusaders masquerading as Boko Haram? Afterall, under-the-table assistance for Boko Haram has been noticed in the past. Where did the arms and food drops for Boko Haram by helicopters come from? Only the Israelis are capable of doing that.
 
MURIC is shocked by the huge amount involved: $9.3 million! Conservatively, $1m is N163m. $9.3m is therefore N1,514,502,583.61 at the current exchange rate of N163 to $1. It is very disturbing for this to be happening in a country bedeviled by serious security challenges bordering on religious rivalry and ethnic jingoism. There is definitely something sinister about all these.
 
We assert that Nigerian Muslims are not safe any longer. We are not safe in the hands of Israeli military advisers breathing down the neck of the Nigerian government and encouraging it to arm the Christians to the teeth. The fate of Nigerian Muslims is therefore not certain.
 
We have lost confidence in FG and its security agencies, particularly with the involvement of Israel. Islamic scholars are disappearing at will all over the country.
 
Recruitment exercises into the security outfits favour Christians even in Muslim dominated areas. President Jonathan has just concluded a national conference whose composition was lopsided and in favour of Christians. FG relies heavily on Israel, a well-known anti-Muslim country for its security matters. Palpable fear of religious cleansing has therefore gripped Muslims.
 
Whole Muslim communities are already being wiped out in the North East under the guise of ‘Boko Haram’. Just two months ago, 34 Muslims who were followers of Shaykh Ibrahim Alzakzaky were massacred by soldiers in Zaria and nothing has been heard of it.
 
MURIC calls on the National Assembly to save Nigeria from total disintegration. This jet and cash story is a scandal of monumental proportion and it must not be swept under the carpet. The National Assembly must intervene in order to calm nerves.
 
This is not the hand of Esau and the voice of Jacob. It is the hand of President Jonathan and the voice of Oritsejafor. There is an unholy union here. An aircraft owned by a war-mongering and current national president of CAN, the cash is being claimed by a Christian-led, Muslim-repressing government, there is more to this than meets the eye. We are no longer safe.
 
MURIC demands the termination of all security deals with the Israelis in Aso Rock, the seat of government. It is too dangerous to involve a country like Israel, an anti-Muslim country in the security matters of a country like Nigeria, deeply polarized by religious sentiments. Only a government with an anti-Muslim agenda will do such a thing. It is time for the Israelis to be kept at bay regarding key security issues in Nigeria.
 
We advise President Jonathan to change his tactics, to integrate Muslims into his government, to stop the political marginalization of Muslims, to review the Christian-loaded recruitment into the security agencies, to probe the disappearance of Islamic scholars and the killing of Muslims in Zaria and to balance the sharing of the dividends of democracy between Christians and Muslims.
 
 We warn that the lopsided recruitment into the security agencies, particularly the Nigerian Army in the past three years, smacks of a more sinister plot to systematically wipe out Nigerian Muslims through extra-judicial killings.
 
We draw the attention of the international community to acts of pro-Christian favouritism and anti-Muslim practices of President Jonathan. The Nigerian leader is deliberately dividing his citizens along religious lines.
 
MURIC affirms that it seeks peaceful coexistence between Christians and Muslims. We are prepared to live with our neighbours. We urge those fanning the embers of war and amassing weapons to remember the plight of Liberia, Congo, Sierra Leone, Bosnia Herzegovina, etc. The ravages of war, the sufferings of millions of innocent young and old are better imagined than experienced.
 
Finally, we appeal to Muslims throughout Nigeria to allow the National Assembly to wade into the matter. Meanwhile, we charge them to remain calm and law-abiding.

Let the games begin

Trying to play the victim in a country where 95% of violent blood sheds had been perpetrated by a particular religion against the other.

Just like the USA sponsored the ISIS when they were in syria. The USA was backing Islamists in Libya. Is it news that Christians can sponsor terror in Islam dominated areas just like the USA is in the middle east.


Look at the big picture ppl. it's a global issue. Deception is the game

luvinhubby: Trying to play the victim in a country where 95% of violent blood sheds had been perpetrated by a particular religion against the other.

Because it was usually funded and sponsored by people like GEJ, Ihejirika, Edwin Clark, Oritsejafor and co to make it seem like it was a Muslim insurgency. Henry Okah and Gen.Azzazi warned you all but you never listened.

Islam taking over yorubaland!

Yorubas always being a willing tool,in the hand of their slavemaster up north,to cause disunity down south!

Akintola,hide your face in shame!.

Can't wait to see this hell-hole of a country shattered.
Mtchww

Make I watch ball first.

Muric, or whatever this sadist group is called. When Nigerdelta Militants need to buy weapons, they will handle their transactions off the coast of the Nigerdelta. Private jets will not be needed.

Busybody Yoruba man.
The day boko haram blasted Lagos, they suddenly lost their voices.
So Nigeria should end every deal with Israel because some useless Muslims do not like them?
Hahaha

This has got to be the most silly write up ever . . . . Imam Shekau is indeed a Born again Christian . . .Shame on the professor . . . . Nonsense . . . .

Try to find logic in that !
JeffFox worthy on
Muslims:
1. If you refine hero in

Muslim

machine gun and
$5,000 rocket launcher,
but
you can't afford shoes...
You are a Muslim
3. If you have more
wives than teeth... You
are a Muslim
4. If you think vests
come in two styles:
bullet-proof and
suicide...You are a
Muslim
5. If you can't think of
anyone you haven't
declared Jihad
against...You are a
Muslim
6. If you consider
television dangerous,
but routinely carry
explosives
in your clothing... You
are a Muslim
7. If you were amazed
to discover that cell
phones have uses other
than setting off
roadside bombs... You
are a Muslim
8. If you have nothing
against women and
think every man should
own
at least four... You are a
Muslim
9.If you find this
offensive or racist and
don't forward it... You
are a
Muslim!!

so the man is trying to tell us dat christains hv started obeying Allahs command to kill and maim the infidels?wow goodnews if u ask me

I cannot believe that this rubbish came from a professor. He should have given as the breakdown of federal government appointments and let us see how Muslims are marginalised. Instead of him to use his wisdom and education to unite the country, he is dividing the nation along religion line the more.

I do not need to comment, the messangers of allah know they can do at the shout of allau akbar

Where are all those Christians saying rubbish against Pastor Ayo, who is not even directly involved in this scandal, your Muslim brothers have heard how you have rubbished a Man who is innocent of what he is being accused of and have escalated the story. Thank you for your stuvpidity.

By the time Nigeria is turned to Turkey where Islam is turned to a majority religion with Christianity taking up 0.09%, you will realise what you idiats have contributed by your useless and dumbed Brain comments

0lumide: Just like the USA sponsored the ISIS when they were in syria. The USA was backing Islamists in Libya. Is it news that Christians can sponsor terror in Islam dominated areas just like the USA is in the middle east.


Look at the big picture ppl. it's a global issue. Deception is the game

All these to what end?
The on-going gruesome massacre of xtian faithful by ISIL or forced conversion of xtian by bokoid?
And to know that US(secular states) and Israel(Jewish nation) are the only country that have successfully ward off Islamic extremist really show the root of your bitterness.
As for MURIC, I understand their fear - they are beginning to dread that the table is turning against them as in the case of Congo especially with the rate of success being recorded by our military in recent week!

Any Islamic scholar is an illiterate his academic attainment notwithstanding. He thinks backwards. This silly Prof. is just one of them.

Criminal govt. Led by secessionists scumbags, it is a pity Nigeria has a National Assembly that sits back while the nation is engulfed in flames. Orisejefor should be arrested and questioned for his role in this gun running saga. The other bimbo in the DSS would soon rush and absolve Orisejefor from this.

But Allah is the best of planners, humiliation will be the lot of BH and its sponsors in this world and the hereafter. Amin

May God help us all.. Why can't muslims live in peace with christians?

Just look at bigotry at its pick.
An individual leased out jet was seized by a foreign authority, the said case is still under investigation, and some people we expected to know better have turned it to religious thing.

I weep for this country.

Come to think of it, MURIC believes it's Christians sponsoring muslims to kill muslims now, where were they when bombs were going off everyday in Christians churches?

The truth is muslim's leaders should learn how to be tolerant, these kind of statements can trow the nation into anarchy. Something happened in SA, u have already turned it to religious thing here in Nigeria without thorough investigation, knowing how sensitive religious issues are in Nigeria!

The most senseless aspect of it all is " the South Africa arms smuggle A CONSPIRACY AGAINST MUSLIMS" haba! I thought we've heard more muslim's leaders in this country than Christians, and during their tenor Christians did not play the victims, why all these buhaha my muslim's brothers? Because i see noting here than intolerance and insecurity, Let's learn to leave together as one and stop playing religion on sensitive national issues.

So sad you christian folks feel so unsecured. I can see your deceptive defenses in your posts after you have being gradually exposed. Cant you be objective for a second?. Let's just assume this incident happened to involve a Muslim leader, 2 Nigerian Muslim men and a Saudi or Iranian man. What exactly you Christians would say?. Pls I want to hear?. You dont even see anything wrong with a leader of entire Nigerian Christians' jet smuggling $9.3m?. Not even a crime? haba! All you people could do is bring unnecessary and unrelated defenses or excuses to play down your evil?.

Muslims dont even accuse all Christians in this case. If Nigeria has a genuine justice system, Mr. Ayo should be under heavy investigation and interrogation by now. The 3 culprits should be under arrest by now with enhanced interrogation. And Israel should be questioning her lone citizen in this case. This is how it should be NOT rubbish defenses you guys putting up there. Clearly, you Nigerians dont want a developed Nigeria. You are covering up for suspected fraudsters, money launderer, potential crime for terrorism. You dont even consider all these rather you backing up this man just for being Christian.

Allah said in the Qur'an that (rough interpretation) "Allah(God) does not change condition of a people unless people change what is in themselves". (Q13:11). In other word, you screaming about govt this, govt that and yet you defending suspected criminal who called himself pastor and leader of Christian Association of Nigeria. Definitely, you folks should not expect God's mercy.

There were two aircrafts involved, who owns the other one? If you can answer this then we can talk.if not you are just another dude blinded by religion

Hypocrites, imagine if it was a muslim dat was caught with dat. shits on hypocrites face

I like this publication, let every sect, group, institution, section and region be proud to establish their grounds of objections and seek for answers from the government.

Speaking out lessens grudge, challenges the accused, brings out clearer picture of the true situation of things.

Let's debate and argue on our ideologies, differences, opinions, interests and decisions. It saves us from savagery, bloodletting, wanton destruction of properties.

Nigeria is witnessing a soft revolution where every interest must be considered for a consensus decision and policy implementations.

Israel is not a Christian nation; they're Jews in Israel. Judaism is their religion there sir. They don't even believe in Jesus of the Christians. Pls research.
