In a society that is mired in deceit and fear and that wallows in intellectual barrenness, abject poverty, social deviancy, spiritual harlotry, debilitating bondage and racial, religious and regional hegemony and discrimination, northern politicians flourish whilst their counterparts from the South live in fear and trepidation and remain in subjugation, never achieving their full potentials

T.B. Joshua’s crime was that he knew too much and that he was secretly exposing their plans to those that cared for Jonathan. He needed to be discredited, stopped, “kept busy”, rubbished or permanently silenced
The motive for the attack was to silence and discredit Joshua who, by that time, had become a thorn in the flesh of many within the corridors of power simply because he was exposing the deepest secrets about what was going on in the country and those who were covertly working against former President Goodluck Jonathan
Most important of all we must find it in our hearts to display and express a high degree of regret and contrition for what we did to the Igbo, pay them compensation and make restitution for what we subjected them to before, during and after the civil war. God demands it and justice requires it
I write it as the voice of the voiceless, the servant of truth and for those that cannot speak for themselves because they are either dead and buried or because they do not have the skill, the reach or the wherewithal to do so
For example it appears very strange to me that every time the Buhari administration has major issues and they need a distraction a new batch of Chibok girls are suddenly released
The truth is that President Muhammadu Buhari, his evil administration and those that they represent are venal and malevolent. They have been rejected by the Living God
We pray for our President: that God will forgive him of his many sins, grant him good health and spare his life but we also warn those that are planning to harm our people to sheath their swords before they set off a chain of events that will cause an unprecedented, historic and massive conflagration on the African continent, the likes of which have never been seen before
The International Terror Index has described Nigeria’s Boko Haram and Fulani Militias as the first and fourth “deadliest terrorist organisations in the world” respectively
Such impunity and callousness has rarely been seen in the annals of world history. Not even Hitler’s Nazis that gassed 6 million innocent Jews and Gypsies to death in concentration camps during the Second World War spoke with such pride and joy about their sheer barbarism and horrendous atrocities either at the Nuremberg Tribunals where they were put on trial or at any other time after the conclusion of the war
And neither can he compare himself to the great Halidu Hananiya, who retired as a Major General in the Nigerian Army and yet who proudly wore the uniform of the Federal Road Safety Corps after being appointed as the head of that agency
May the Lord of Hosts forgive Nigeria for what she has done to so many of her ethnic nationalities and her own sons and daughters
As each day passes, more and more people from all over the country are doubting the continued viability of our forced union.
They are also questioning the wisdom and expediency of the 1914 amalgamation and “arranged marriage” of what were originally the northern and southern protectorates of Nigeria by Lord Frederick Lugard and our erstwhile British colonial masters
Today in Nigeria the Angel of Death stalks our very own tyrant like a vulture stalks rotting meat, yet despite that the demons that control his underlings, lackeys and minions refuse to relent and are still baying for the blood of the weak, the defenceless, the innocent and all those that oppose him
Persecution and the abuse of power always attracts a heavy price for those who indulge in it
Lest I forget, permit me to add just one more “wonderful work”. President Buhari is supposedly fighting a war against corruption yet after his lawyer gave N500,000 to a judge before whom he (Buhari) had a case it was described as a “gift” as opposed to a bribe
When the Holy Bible says we must pray for our leaders, the author was referring to God-fearing and Godly leaders and not usurpers and tyrants
As Minister of Information, lying Lie Mohammed has NEVER condemned the Fulani militias that are slaughtering Christians all over the North
As for the other so-called leaders, including former Heads of States and Presidents, that have refused to condemn, show concern or proffer solutions to the nefarious and abominable activities of the Fulani militias and the religious genocide that is taking place in the north, one thing remains clear: the blood of those that were slaughtered is on their hands as much as it is on the hands of those that are doing the killing
Thankfully, it is not every core northerner or Fulani man that shares the narrow world-view of men like President Buhari, who, apparently, believes that the south is inferior to the north and that she is not deserving or qualified to produce a Chief Justice of the Federation
