SOUTHERN KADUNA: HIT BACK OR DIE! (Part 1)
"Buhari is the last
standing samurai of the oligarchy with the boldness to implement the
Fulani agenda. He is doing it as fast as possible. The regime of Buhari
is on a conquest mission. It is not hiding its intention because it
believes that our strongholds have been spiritually damaged. What is
going on has a spiritual precursor. They don't fight in the ordinary
alone. The reason the Middle Belt is under massive siege is because they
have been spiritually decimated. They have to pray AND FIGHT"- Ariyo
Raphael Dare- Atoye.
Mr. Dare-Atoye of the One Nigeria Group is
absolutely right. Yet permit me to begin this contribution with an aside
and a brief glimpse into the mindset of the enemy.
Just before
he murdered one dozen Germans in cold blood as they were making merry
and doing their last minute Christmas shopping in a Berlin market
square, Anis Amri, the infamous and thankfully deceased ISIS foot
soldier, expressed the following sentiments in a pre-recorded video
message. He said,
"By God's will we will slaughter you like pigs. I swear we will slaughter you".
These
words reflect and convey nothing but unadulterated hate and pure venom.
Such deep-seated hatred coupled with an unrelenting and hideous
murderous intent is beyond human comprehension and it is bereft of any
decency or humanity.
When the Holy Bible speaks about our enemies hating us "with a perfect hatred" this is surely it.
Simply
put the creature that was known as Anis Amri, before he was summarily
despatched to meet his father the devil in hell courtesy of an Italian
policeman's bullet, was nothing but a psychopathic and sociopathic
beast.
He was a cold-blooded murderer: an animal in human skin.
And I daresay that so are all those that share his homicidal disposition
and barbaric sentiments.
He is a good example of what the
civilised world is up against today and sadly Nigeria is not exempted.
As a matter of fact we are even more afflicted by this monumental global
challenge than most.
Amir's words are an excellent example of
the way that those that President-elect Donald J. Trump has described as
the "attackers of humanity" feel about those of us who do not share
their warped and primitive world view and who do not believe in the
shameful misinterpretation of their religious faith.
The words
of the beast betrays the mindset of every radical Islamist jihadist in
the world today. It also reflects the mindset of every Fulani militant
and herdsman.
If this were not the case how can one explain away
the mindless genocide and carnage that the people of the south and the
Middle Belt generally and the people of southern Kaduna particularly
have been subjected to over the last one year.
In southern
Kaduna alone literally thousands of Christians, ethnic minorities and
Shiite Muslims have been murdered in cold blood and have had their
homes, farms, churches, properties, burial sites and holy places torched
and burnt to the ground by the bloodthirsty aliens and Fulani hordes
over that period of time.
Trump's words also reveals the
mindset of their loyal friend and self-acclaimed Fulani brother Nasir
El Rufai, the Governor of Kaduna state.
I am surprised by some
of the things that he has been saying latelty. Someone should please
tell him to stop talking rubbish. He will soon set this nation on fire
with his tongue and if that ever happens he and his Fulani brothers will
be the worst for it.
Permit me to share one or two examples of
what can only be described as a graphic manifestation of the inner most
recesses of his utterly devious and twisted mind.
After claiming
that those that killed thousands of Christians in southern Kaduna were
not Nigerian Fulanis a few weeks ago and after publicly admitting that
he funded them, he has now claimed that Niger Delta militants from the
southern part of the country are planning to disguise as Fulani herdsmen
and attack the people of southern Kaduna?
This is false. And
not only is it false but it is also a premeditated, calculated,
irresponsible, incendiary, pernicious and dangerous mendacity. Worse
still he has said it with malicious intent and thereby endangered the
lives of even more people.
Am I the only one that sees where all
this is heading and what El Rufai is trying to achieve? Is it not
obvious that he is trying to widen the conflict and spark off a
sectarian and ethnic war in our country?
I am convinced
that my old friend has finally lost his mind! He should stop trying to
cover up his heinous crimes in Southern Kaduna and desist from blaming
the carnage on others.
And given the amount of innocent blood
that has been spilt in Southern Kaduna by his Fulani brothers I have to
say that Nasir is a disgrace to Islam, a disgrace to the Fulani, a
disgrace to Nigeria, a disgrace to the black man and a disgrace to
humanity.
He can never wash away all the blood that is on his
hands either by omission or commission because his primary duty as the
Chief Security Officer of Kaduna State is to protect the life and
property of its citizens. In this respect and in virtually every other
he has failed woefully.
Shakespear's Julius Caesar said "cowards die many times before their death but the valiant die but once".
We
must not be cowards, we must speak the truth boldly and we must say
things as they are no matter whose ox is gored. And the truth is as
follows.
On Christmas eve, despite a three day government
curfew, Goska and numerous other towns, communities and villages in
Southern Kaduna were attacked by the Fulani militants and herdsmen yet
again. In Goska they raped most of the girls before slaughtering them.
Scores
of innocent men, women and children, including the fourteen year old
daughter of the former LGA Chairman of Jema, Barrister Gideon Morik,
were butchered.
I saw the picture of her battered head and body
all over the social media and it sickened and enraged me. I kept asking
myself what type of animals would do this to a child?
What evil forest did these monstrous beasts crawl out of? Which of Dante's nine circles of hell did they come from?
We
have been praying for Southern Kaduna all along but with this last
attack I am constrained to ask the following questions: when will we
stop the praying and start the fighting? When will we begin to defend
ourselves and those that are being subjected to these attacks?
How
many people have to be killed before we appreciate the fact that
self-defence is a lawful and necessary recourse when it comes to
preserving your life and that of your loved ones?
There is no
place for a violent and unprovoked attack on others and I have not
advocated that but there is every place for a violent defence of your
homes, wives, children and loved ones. That is a duty and a solemn
obligation before God and before the law.
Since both the state
and the Federal government have refused to protect or defend them when
will the people of Southern Kaduna start defending themselves and when
will we start helping them to do so?
How many more little babies
have to have their heads dashed against a wall and how many more
infants and women have to be raped, have their throats slit open and
blood drained?
These questions are made all the more relevant
given the fact that our President, who is himself a Fulani, has refused
to condemn or even say anything about the latest series of attacks and
killings.
Things have got so bad that one Mr. Audu Maikori was forced to write the following on his twitter handle. He said,
"The southern Kaduna killings are going on while the media is keeping mute! Houses razed and people killed during a curfew!!!!"
The
veracity of this assertion can hardly be disputed. The Nigerian media
is complicit in this criminal conspiracy and these acts of genocide.
I
say this because hardly any newspaper will even mention the atrocities
that are being committed in southern Kaduna and when they do they always
play the whole thing down and treat it with levity.
They refuse
to tell the world about the sheer barbarity of the events and the real
number of casualties that have been counted and recorded by
eye-witnesses and those that are on the ground.
Where one
thousand people are killed they will say one hundred, where one hundred
are killed they will say ten and where ten are killed they will say one.
Why? Because in Nigeria under President Buhari only Fulani lives
matter.
Much of the mainstream media has been completely
intimidated and cowered into a pitiful and nauseating silence. When they
are not intimidated they are induced into supressing reports, write-ups
and essays (like this one) that expose the sheer carnage, the ugly
realities and the bitter truth.
They have forgotten what they were taught at journalism school: that facts are sacred and opinion is cheap.
They
have also forgotten the words of Rev. Martin Luther King jnr. when he
said "the moment we are silent about the things that matter we begin to
die".
He also said "if you are not ready to die for something then you are not fit to live for anything".
Again
they have forgotten the words of our very own Nobel Laureate, Professor
Wole Soyinka. He said "the greatest threat to freedom is the absence
of criticism". He also said "the man died in him who remained silent in
the face of tyranny".
The man has clearly died in many of our journalists and media practitioners in Nigeria today.
We
can only thank God for the social media because if not for that most of
our mainstream newspapers and television stations would have convinced
us that the horrific events that are taking place on a daily basis in
Southern Kaduna are nothing but a cooked-up and fabricated fairy tale.
