5th AUGUST, 2016.
It is no longer news that the new leader of Boko Haram, Mr.
Abu Musa Al Barnawi, who apparantly has the backing of
ISIS, has said that he will target only Christians and burn
down all the Churches in the country.
He has also said that Muslims and mosques will no longer
be targetted and that Mr. Abubakar Shekau, the erstwhile
leader and principal voice of the terror group, is no longer
the leader.
Mr. Shekau has responded by saying that he will continue to
slaughter whoever he pleases and that he remains the
authentic leader. There appears to be a very serious rift in
the ranks of Boko Haram which is good news.
As far as I am concerned the two factions can do us all a
favour by destroying one another and burning in hell.
Anyone that targets Christians and Churches, or indeed any
innocent civilians for slaughter, is not worthy of life. They
are nothing but vermin and, like the cockroaches that they
are, they must be crushed.
Mr. Shekau is evil but Mr. Al Barnawi is even worse: he is the
devil incarnate. He represents ISIS and we all know what that
means.
Whichever way we look at it and whatever is going on within
the ranks of Boko Haram we must not loose sight of the
bigger picture. And that bigger picture points to one thing:
Nigeria is in a mess.
Quite apart from the poverty and hardship that has afflicted
the land coupled with the total destruction of the economy
and quite apart from the shattering of peoples dreams and
the drastic reduction in their standard of living by the
ineffectual and barren fiscal and economic policies of an
inept and incompetent government, our President did not
stop there.
He also went as far as to appoint as his Minister of Sports a
man who is clearly (to use Donald Trump's words about
Hilary Clinton) "unbalanced and unhinged".
This is a man that can barely speak english and who, during
the week of the Olympics, publicly referred to our country as
"the United States Of Nigeria" whilst reprimanding our
Olympic football team for getting stuck in America and
arriving late in Brazil.
Someone should tell Honorable Minister Solomon Dalung
that it was HIS job to get our boys to Rio De Janeiro on time
and that it was something of a scandal and a national
embarrasment that it took the last minute intervention and
assistance of Delta Air, a private American airline, to get
them there in time for their match with Japan.
Whilst our boys did us proud by going on to defeat Japan
and later Sweden, the video of the Minister disparaging
them and spouting nonsense about some fictitious and
imaginary country called 'the United States of Nigeria' whilst
wearing his ridiculous red beret went viral on the internet. A
fool goes by no other name.
In normal climes the Minister would have been forced to
resign the following day and he would have been compelled
to apologise to the nation that he is purportedly serving for
forgetting its name. Sadly though there is nothing that is
"normal" about Nigeria or the Buhari administration.
Equally abysmal was the recent outing of Governor
Babatunde Raji Fashola, President Buhari's "super Minister"
of Power, Works and Housing, on BBC TV's Hardtalk.
Before millions of viewers from all over the world, the
Minister told his host Mr. Stephen Sackhur a shameless and
pernicious lie by claiming that he never promised Nigerians
an increase in power generation and supply.
It is his inability to be forthright, to appreciate the virtues of
telling the truth and to keep his election promises that has
earned my aburo Tunde Fashola the nickname of Minister of
Darkness.
Since he was appointed 'super Minister' the power
generation in our country has dropped from 5000
megawatts at the time when President Jonathan left office
just over a year ago to under 2000 megawatts today. Worst
still he has not managed to construct or complete the
refurbishment of a single road.
Yet it is not the crippled economy, the erring and dim-witted
Minister of Sports, the intellectually dishonest and lying
Minister of Power, Works and Housing or any of the other
numerous foibles of the Buhari administration that gives us
the most concern today.
It is rather the gradual and systematic generation and
invocation of a frightful and cataclysmic atmosphere of war
and the looming threat and increasing likelihood of a great
and violent ethnic and religious conflict, the likes of which
Africa has never seen before.
If it is not Boko Haram that is slaughtering our people it is
the Fulani herdsmen. Worse still they are doing these
despicable things with the active connivance and support of
a few people that are in the corridors of power today whose
objective is to islamise our nation, plunge us into a fiery
abyss and create chaos.
The bible says 'there is no fellowship between light and
darkness'. We have said it before and we will say it again: we
must restructure Nigeria before it is too late. If we fail to do
so we will have no choice but to reconsider our so-called
unity.
If things don't change quickly we must consider the
possibility of dividing our country and renegotiating our
union.
We cannnot afford to wait any longer because we are
playing with fire and we are sitting on a keg of gunpowder.
We must attempt to do whatever needs to be done
peacefully and we must not allow the butchers and those
that kill in the name of their god to provoke us into another
civil war.
Nothing represents the danger of the war that is looming
more than the response of the Niger Delta Revolutionary
Crusaders (an affliate of the Niger Delta Avengers) to Al
Barnawi's threat.
They responded by saying that if Christians and Churches
are targetted by Boko Haram they will kill all the Muslims in
the Niger Delta area and they will burn down all the
mosques. It is a simple case of "action" and "reaction" and I
sincerely hope that those that are use to killing others and
not being killed themselves take them seriously.
Clearly we are living in dangerous times and I sincerely hope
that those that brought religion into our politics in 2015 and
that used Islam and the Boko Haram offensive as a political
tool against a southern Christian President are seeing the
fruits of their labour.
When you invoke the proverbial genie and let it out of the
kettle you must be prepared to live with the consequences
and whatever follows.
Yet the folly does not stop there. As if our sensibilities were
not already sufficiently provoked President Buhari took the
religious dance to yet another level last week by directing
the Central Bank of Nigeria to sell foreign exchange to
Muslim pilgrims that were on their way to Saudi Arabia for
hajj at 197 naira to 1 USD.
This whilst everyone else, including students, manufacturers,
businessmen, Christian pilgrims, the ailing and holiday-
makers, must continue to buy at 400 naira to 1 USD. When
the math is done this amounts to a whooping N7.9 billion
naira concession for Muslim pilgrims.
And all this in a country that is not only impoverished and
whose people are suffering from the worst economic
hardship and poverty crunch since independence but also
one that is meant to be a secular state.
Such is the national outrage that President Buhari's forex
concession to his Muslim brothers and sisters has provoked
that a well-known political commentator and activist Mr.
Paul Achalla wrote the following on his Facebook wall on
August 5th:
"N410 to $1 for business, education, entrepreneurship, food
processing, manufacturing, etc. and N197 to $1 for pilgrims
going to Saudi Arabia? Bluntly put, Boko Haram ideology
won Nigeria's 2015 general election!!!"
Paul Achalla is right. How can this sort of nonsense be
justified in a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural, multi-religious
secular state? Is Buhari's Nigeria crafted only for the Muslim
north? Is Saudi Arabia now the spiritual headquarters of our
nation?
If it is not the Sultan of Sokoto declaring public holidays, it is
the President giving subsidised rates of foreign exchange
and preferential treatment to members of his own religious
faith.
If it is not that he is leading our country into a sinister and
dangerous military coalition of Sunni Muslim nations it is
that he is holding conferences in Abuja with foreign Muslim
clerics whose stated objective is to "spread sharia
throughout Nigeria" and islamise our country.
Worst still virtually all his Service Chiefs and principal
commanders in his Armed Forces together with his National
Security Advisor, his Minister of Defence, his Minister of
Internal Affairs, his Inspector General of Police, his Chief of
Defence Intelligence, his Director General of State Security,
his Chairman of Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, his Commander of the National Civil Defence
Corps, his Comptroller General of Customs, his Comptroller
General of Immigration, his Comptroller General of Prisons
and ALL his other security, para-security and intelligence
agencies, bar one, are northern Muslims.
Can there be any greater form of corruption, abuse of
power, injustice and betrayal of trust than this? Does this not
prove the fact that our country is in dire need of
restructuring? (TO BE CONTNUED).

Thankz

Our prayers is for them to be in serious confusion among themselves.

God what have we done to deserve buhari,that man must not be allowed to spend to years in that seat. The north and south are very different entities. Backwardness cannot mix with forwardness.

Lots of sense in dis write up. But devils will come and call him names

Nigeria really needs to be restructured. This guys keep taking Nigeria Backwards.

FFK goes Mad again Nawao

*modified*
for the idiots quoting me down there. Get this clearly.
1. I'm a christian
2. If there's anything that has polarized nd divided the nation, it's RELIGION.
FFK nd GEJ used this tool more than anyone in 2015 nd nearly divided the country (if it wasn't divided already).
Boko haram vow to kill christians, ND militants vow to kill muslims, fulani re killing us (christians in North Central). They are all menace nd threats to our collective existence as humans. FFK isn't calling 4 our collective efforts in tackling them, he's still playing the HATE CARD. If FFK is a Muslim, trust me, we've have called him an EXTREMIST.

Where was FFK whn d federal govt (Buhar's govt) used the same #197 to $1 for christian pilgrimes to israel. If we had risen up as a country nd fought dat by asking anyone looking 4 God in Jerusalem to look for his own dollars like the Nigerian students abroad, manufacturers, importers nd the rest, do u think pres. Buhari would ve tried that again?
Nw, a bad precedence has been set cos christians will demand 4 their own exchange rate again this year whn they go to Jerusalem. Who loses? Ofcus, it's those of us left to worship God in Nigeria.
Instead of pitching christians against muslims, why didn't FFK call everyone together to stop all this.

FFK again?
Looking at the man's antecedence, we all knw the dude is looking for who to lay with. Like a political wh*re, he's looking for whose bed to grace again.
He criticised jonathan more than this. He insulted nd abused GEJ nd his administrations more than this bt whn he was called to dine at the table (which he had severally abused nd spate on), he openly took that nd we all knw how he messed u jonathan's campaign with his hate campaign/propaganda style.
Dude is hungry, he just wants to stay relevant nd try to get intimate romance with this government.
Period!!!!

Short up! Why can't you counter the blunt truth? Before your eyes Nigeria will ceased to exist. All your plans to eliminate Christians will not work.

Okpo of highest order! Why can't you counter the blunt truth? You people want to kill us Christians but you know what? We will fight these demon enterprise with our last blood.

You Have said it all. Nigeria was a lugardian and British mistake but we must correct that mistake or we all lowered down.

first nd foremost, FFK is one of those who messed up the country nd took us to where we are nw. He's been at the coridors of power even 4rm Obasanjo's time.

Aren't nonsense! I excepted you to counter these our fears as Christian with points but you didn't do it. FFK is right if you doubt me go to Google and type "Abuja declaration". But I promise you and your cronies we will fight it with our last blood. Turkey's Christian - Muslim story is still fresh in my memory.

Delete Nonsense. Nobody can islamize a multi cultural, multi religious country such as Nigeria in this digit nd social media focused 21st century.
That's ur fear nd it's what FFK is using 4 his own selfish personal agenda. If he is appointed 2morrow into d buhari govt, u'll then see the relevance of what i've been saying. He will defend, sing nd defend the government to the high heavens even whn it's obvious that the government is implementing anti-masses policy. Don't u for once think that FFK is doing all this for the christians.
U'll fight with the last drop of ur blood?
What's then the difference btw u nd an islamic extremist who strap explosive vest to kill people

This man only appeals to the sentiments IPOB miscreants...No sane Nigerian takes him seriously..

Keep fooling them..

Still I want you to tell me that his claims are wrong but you have not done so, If you can't clear our doubt regarding this Islamic agenda in this country then OYO.
