FULANI INVASION: BONE OF CONTENTION.

Fulani invasion of Communities, is the root cause of insecurity anywhere in Nigeria. Nigerian Fulani Government should call it’s kinsmen to order, before it degenerates into full blown war.

Kidnap of Nigerian Methodist Prelate by Fulani Herdsmen

Methodist Prelate in Nigeria, Samuel Uche was attacked and kidnapped by eight Fulani Jihadists, who disguised as Herdsmen. It happened on May 2022, along Umunneochi road in Abia State. He was in company of two other clergy men, during the unfortunate incidence. They were all abducted.

They were taken inside the bush, tortured and beaten for three days. Then, the herdsmen demanded for ransom of 100 million naira, which was later paid in cash. Before the payment, the victims were threatened with death, when they bargained for the ransom at 10 and 50 million naira respectively. Their abductors showed them decomposing bodies of persons killed by them, in a gully inside the Umunneochi forest.

Mr. Uche revealed that all their kidnappers, including the ones who came out of the bush later, were Fulanis. He said further, most of them were stark illiterates. Only one was fluent enough in English language. Some of them came from Sudan, Mali and Songhai. They grew up and have lived here in Nigeria for many years.

The Prelate accused soldiers mounting road checkpoints, of complicity in the kidnap business. Where they were held was very close to military checkpoint. The Fulani terrorists kept their cows nearby; being attended to by other herdsmen, while others held them hostage.

The soldiers were shielding them from being attacked or apprehended. They threatened to fire any other person, entering the bush whether vigilante, farmer, or hunter. Military checkpoints in Biafra are strategically located, to shield the nefarious activities of those Jihadists, operating in the vicinity. They are not there to protect any law-abiding citizen. They are being used by those at the top, in their secret war against Igbos.

That is to say anywhere you see Army checkpoint in Biafra land, look around very well, you will likely see Fulani terrorists, pretending to be rearing their dirty cattle in the environs. Although they look harmless; they are very deadly and heartless.

The Fulanis told them half of the ransom money (50 million naira), would be shared among their Northern elite sponsors. In other words, about half of the ransom paid in this country, goes to their kinsmen at the top, who arm and finance their operations: to kidnap, rape, vandalize farms and kill people.

Finally, our kidnappers informed us there is a grand plan to overrun Eastern Nigeria, mow down the inhabitants, then take over the whole place as Fulani settlements. Part of the ransom money would be used to buy large scale sophisticated weapons. The ammunition would be used in full-scale war against our people. They said further they were awaiting order, from their kinsmen at the helm of affairs, to carry out the massacres.

What they call insecurity in our land, is the onslaught of all these “coalition forces” against IPOB  and ESN, who are determined to protect our people. It’s sad to note some state Governors in this place, collude with Fulani soldiers and Jihadists to unleash mayhem on our people.

Up till today, Nigerian Fulani Government has never uttered a word, concerning the ugly incidence; and similar ones going on in our besieged land. There is a conspiracy of silence among the hierarchy in governance. They should prove their innocence if any, on the besiege of our land, with military collaboration.

Shortly after  their release, Eastern Security Network under IPOB came to our rescue. They drove away those kidnappers and their mal-nourished cattle out of Umunneochi  LGA. Those armed robbers have shifted to Imo State territory of Enugu_Port Harcourt expressway: Ihube, Okigwe, Umunnachi axis. They abduct, rob, rape and kill, with impunity on daily basis. The truth is that Imo State Government is indifferent, to atrocities of Fulani terrorists in the state. The Governor dances to the whims and caprices of his ‘Mentor’ at Abuja; considering the unusual circumstances in which he came to power as Governor.

One thing is certain, you cannot prevail against the resolve of our people, to be free from Fulani strangulation. Just as you cannot suppress the smoke from ascending, you cannot stop the truth by bloodshed going in our land, in a desperate attempt to stop restoration of Biafra. We therefore call on International Community, to carry out thorough investigation into the bloodbath going on in our land; by combined armed Forces, with Fulani and River State militias. Those directly and indirectly involved, should be arrested and charged to ICC court.

But, the Governor is very zealous to order the attack and destruction of villages in Imo; sometimes using war planes, and military tanks. His mandate of being imposed on the people, is to fight against Biafran agitation, tooth and nail; in the guise of fighting insecurity in the state.

He spends  a lot on security_ fighting against Biafran agitators, especially IPOB.  He spends much more than the money he would have used in paying workers and pensioners owed for years. He buys armoured cars and other hardware for Police and Army. He has imported Fulani and River State Militias; and turned them to Ebubeagu (Vigilantes) against his own people. He flies to Abuja every now and then, when the state becomes too hot.

Our oppressors and their stooges, should know there is God in heaven. He is slow to anger, but mighty in power. He won’t allow the guilty to go unpunished. When God arises, He will deal with all those devil incarnates ruling over the people of God. Members of deadly occult societies are holding sway in Nigeria. The youths and the people, should rise up and take over their country. It’s a fearful thing to fall into hands of the living God!

Emulate  Ortom Community Vigilantes

We commend Governor Ortom of Benue State, for providing formidable volunteer guards, to stop the menace of Fulani armed gangs, most of whom camouflage as cattle rearers. We recommend other state Governors, especially in South Eastern States to copy from him.

For several years in office, he lamented the wanton destruction of lives and property in Benue state, on daily basis. Nigerian President and his Government, didn’t care to listen or come to his rescue. The Fulanis were killing, raping, destroying farmlands, and dispossessing the indigenes of their communal land with impunity. Many of those Fulani marauders, were imported from some West African countries. Some Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps, sprang up to take in influx of refugees displaced by Fulanis.

Nigerian Fulani Government never sent soldiers, or other security agents to stop the bloodbath. There was a conspiracy of silence against the people. But, when the youths there initially organized themselves into guards, to resist the onslaught of those armed robbers, Nigerian Authorities quickly dispatched soldiers to stop the youths. Many of them were arrested and turned to accused. They stopped them in order to pave way for the Fulanis, to continue with their mayhem.

Then, Governor Ortom took the bull by the horn. He called for volunteer vigilantes, and got them well trained and equipped. He sought and got legislative backing from State Assembly. Recently, he  launched the outfit in public. And the personnel have fully swung into action. They are making huge successes, in bringing the bloodshed in the state under control. These volunteers have arrested thousands of cattle; so many Fulani Terrorists. Boko Haram members have been apprehended for their involvement in the carnage. It has been congratulation galore, for Government and people of Benue state. Had it been they continued, to wait for Nigerian Government to come and rescue them, from being wiped out by Fulanis; it would have been a matter of time for them to all perish.

Hypocritical Nigerian rulers don’t talk about ‘insecurity’ in Benue State, as they do in Biafra land. This is because the Governor there is not their stooge. He doesn’t want the Fulanis, and their kinsmen controlling the country, to kill law abiding citizen in Benue. He’s very different from the puppet Governors in Eastern Nigeria. He doesn’t collude with compromised Nigerian security agents, to burn people’s houses, shops, or indiscriminate arrests and detention of youths: which are very rampant in the Biafra land, especially Imo state. The vigilante group he formed is well known to the people. Of course, their leaders are indigenes of the states. They are not being used against their own people, to please those at Abuja. Same thing is applicable to ”Omotekum” organized by Yoruba State Governors and other prominent people there.

The case is quite different here in South East states. Our Governors and top politicians here are sycophants, who are ready to ride on the back of people they supposed to protect and care for, to achieve their selfish political ambitions. They allow soldiers to bring in fighter jets to bomb villages and kill people, as well as using armoured tanks.  If you go to Izombe and some other parts of Imo State, people’s houses and shops are being burnt regularly. Their offence is being sympathetic to IPOB. In this part of the country Fulani terrorists are being shielded, while the hunt for freedom agitators continues. Government owned mortuaries are filled up with dead bodies, mostly youths whose lives have been cut short.

Now, people are being encouraged to build mortuaries. They are springing up at alarming rate in Igbo land. And many people are expressing concern. There is no industrial development going here. No jobs for the youths. This geo-political zone has the highest rate of graduate unemployment. The place is practically excluded from the scheme of things by this present Federal Government.

We therefore call for a change of attitude. Our Governors and other boot lickers, should stop allowing themselves to be used against their own people. A lot of people have been brutalized, killed ,and rendered homeless, since soldiers invaded our land. Soldiers have brutalised youths for asking Fulani Herdsmen to leave their farmland after destroying crops.  Why are they ignoring Fulani Jihadists, who have come to take over our land? Let them fear God Almighty; the creator of the whole universe. God said, “The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him. And the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him” _Ezekiel 18:20.

Root Causes of Insecurity Across Biafra Land.

The carnage in the land of Biafra, and other parts of Southern Nigeria, is being orchestrated by cabal in the North. They have the sinister motive of making our land Fulani colony. That is the crux of the matter.

They have their negative and Satan-inspired strategies, to achieve their aim which include shedding of blood, destruction of farmlands, burning of people’s houses, and other properties. They have found their ignorant and illiterate kinsmen, especially the notorious Fulani Herdsmen, as ready instruments. All those Fulani foot soldiers on destructive mission, are acting out scripts given to them, by their wicked kinsmen at the top.

The truth remains, that those small number of persons masterminding destruction going on across the country, including abduction and demand for ransom, are not normal human beings like you and me. They have sold themselves completely to the devils! Forget about their claim of being adherent to a particular religion. They are deeply involved in deadly occult groups, which require members to shed blood regularly. These devil incarnates, ginger their slave labourers to kill and destroy under the slightest provocation, or flimsy excuse. They rejoice at the shedding of blood_ killing of so-called infidels. Why are they using religion to cover up cruelty, against their fellow human beings?

You send your killer squad to  communities, to wipe out inhabitants and possess their lands, while the few survivors will be sent to IDP camps. Most of the people you and messengers of death are killing and raping, are much better human beings than you persons_ more righteous than you. They don’t belong to secret societies like you. Also, they don’t lie with other people’s wives as you do; or loot the treasury to bank the money abroad. Those nonentities you send there, use their dirty and poisonous cattle as cover up, while they unleash mayhem on the defenseless elderly people in their ancestral homes.

When the young ones among them, decide to form themselves into vigilante gropes to resist your invaders, you use the instrumentalities of governance against them. You criminalize them, send soldiers, and other security agents to mow them down. Soldiers flogged youths in Cross River State, for asking Fulani Herdsmen to leave their land, after destroying crops. You order the burning of houses, shops, farms, etc. This will make the place desolate; so that your kinsmen you imported from Niger Republic, Mali, and other Northern neighbouring countries will move in, and occupy their ancestral homes.

You use puppet and selfish Governors against their own people, in those affected areas. Instead of them to go against your Fulani kinsmen ravaging the area, those criminals and armed robbers are given protection; even with military escorts. The heat will now be turned on the protesting youths who are arrested indiscriminately, detained, and killed at will. The victims have been turned to culprits. Then, you will begin to lament of insecurity in the area. You will order for more troops, armoured tanks, and war planes to be sent to the “war zone,” to attack and bomb their perceived hideouts.

God Almighty is watching you. He has a way of exposing evil; even those guided secrets, people are intimidated or blackmailed from talking about. Take a look at those who perpetrated similar evils on the society. A lot of them have gone. God dealt with them. He won’t allow the wicked to go unpunished. Take a look at the leaders and financiers, of many terrorist groups across the world. Many of them have gone_ with sudden and painful departure. God has various way of taking away the wicked out of this world, when their iniquities become full before Him. They include sudden deaths, and terminal diseases.

You use your position to suppress the truth, about what is going on in the besieged land, like Eastern Nigeria. You threaten and suppress any voice of dissent: the media, religious bodies, legislators, name them. You bribe some, fine some, and close down some media houses. As well, you intimidate others. Our rulers fail to realize, they cannot sweep the truth under the carpet for long. It must come out in the open one day, for everyone to see.

Even leaders of nations and international bodies, are not left out in  the bribery. Some countries’ Presidents, who are outspoken about the bloodbath in Nigeria, suddenly keep quiet and become friendly to dictators ruling us. After reaching agreement for supplies of deadly weapons to fight our people, they keep mute on the carnage going on. Arms and ammunition are sold at outrageous cost in exchange of our crude oil. The money runs into hundreds of millions or billions of dollars.

The fact remains, no amount of force or bribery, can stop the actualization of Biafra. We therefore appeal to Nigerian President and his surrogates, to put an end to the bloodshed going on in Eastern Nigeria, and other parts of the country. It can’t deter our people from freeing ourselves from Nigeria servitude. Let them withdraw Fulani herdsmen and their filthy cows to the North. Other disguised Jihadists who claim to be vigilantes, should follow suit. Let them face the numerous armed gangs up there, and stop  the kidnap “business” there. Those soldiers, who are afraid to engage terrorist groups in Northern Nigeria, are taking refuge in Biafra land. Here, they display their military hardware, and pomposity on villagers and burn houses. God will visit all of them

UN: Interven on Impending Genocide in Biafra Land

We want to first of all salute United Nations, for the courage to mandate Nigerian President to release Nnamdi Kanu (Biafran Leader), from detention. His unconditional release is long overdue. Let the body ensure compliance without much delay.

We appeal to UN, and other International bodies, to intervene in the looming genocide against people in Biafran land (Eastern Nigeria). The abduction of Methodist Prelate, and his release later pafter paying ransom, has confirmed allegation making rounds in our land in recent times.

He said among other things, their captors told him, there is a grand plan to forcefully takeover of Biafra land by Fulani Jihadists, after killing the inhabitants there. They said further they are awaiting order from their sponsor, kinsmen for the final onslaught.

Let the world body carry out detailed investigation, into this planned massacre. We won’t want this issue to be swept under the carpet. This  isn’t the first time, such mass murder of our people was planned in Nigeria. It happened in the 1960s; during the reign of Yakubu Gowon, the Nigerian wicked ruling military junta. Millions of our people were murdered in cold blood. The dictator had pre-knowledge of killings, long before they took place. But, he decided to keep quiet, as he was part of the conspiracy.

Northern elite are the mastermind of plan to carry out massacre in Eastern Nigeria; similar to what they did in sponsoring mob that killed millions of our people, which led to Nigeria civil war. Now, they are using Fulani Terrorist Herdsmen, and other armed Fulani Jihadists as forerunners. That is why they are sending all kinds of armed gangs, to our land to prepare the ground for the real attacks. All of a sudden, they began to: camp in our forests, attack and kill elderly people in their farms, get involved in kidnapping business, and so on. These disguised foot soldiers, know every nook and cranny of our land.

Those heartless sponsors should know, they can never repeat the atrocities they committed against our people in 1960s, and get away with it. It they finally give the order to declare war on us, they will be shocked to their morrow, at the turn out of events. The situation under which they succeeded in mowing down our people in the past, has been overtaken by events. Their wickedness will find them out.

They are pushing these ordinary Fulanis to do their bidding, while their own children and close relatives are living comfortably overseas. These devilish Northern elite, brainwash their peasants to believe education is evil. But, their own kids are in best schools abroad. They want these deprived set of people to remain uneducated, in order to continue to manipulate them to shed blood and commit other atrocities. Their overall aim is to subjugate our people and have political control over the area.

One can observe these peasants, ordinarily would like to live their normal lives of cattle rearing, or petty trading. But they are being pushed by their kinsmen at the helm of affairs, to forment trouble with host communities. Many of them are confessing after being caught with weapons, it isn’t in their nature to carry guns and kill people. Those in the government give them AK 47 guns free, teach them how to use, in kidnapping and taking over people’s lands.

All these Fulani militia have one big obstacle. That is IPOB. This body has a well trained and formidable security outfit, considered the best in Africa. The security outfit is called Eastern Security Network (ESN). The personnel succeeded in driving away all the Fulanis in the forests, and destroying their camps; even under hostile state Governors in Eastern Nigeria.  If given the moral support by state Governors here, they will easily chase away all Fulani Jihadists out of our land, including Fulani terrorists herdsmen. They are being used to destroy farming in our land, so that we will be dependent on their kinsmen, for purchase of food items from the North.

This IPOB/ESN obstacle has become a hard nut to crack. And there is a gang up against this outfit, loved by the people. The compromised Nigerian security forces, together with Fulani militia, and other militants from Rivers state, have come together in an attempt to dislodge IPOB/ESN. This will  pave way for the planned massacre. Insecurity in Biafra land is the undeclared war against IPOB/ESN. All the Fulanis destroying farms, and occupying Biafra forests, are never arrested and questioned. Kidnappers among them operate with impunity. The focus is to deal with Biafra agitators.

Let the world body prevail on Nigeria Authorities, not to be treating IPOB  as terrorist organization. Let the siege on Biafra land be removed. Nigerian Government should prove their innocence, by getting to the root of this conspiracy to annihilate our people. We want to use this opportunity, to appeal to the conscience of all those behind the planned attack on our people, to have a change of mind. If they think they can repeat the atrocities they committed against us, some decades ago and get away with it, they will regret it. God Almighty will deal with them ruthlessly. He will fetch them out of their fortified mansions, built with stolen money! He that digs a pit shall fall into it.

Stop  Chasing Shadows: Nigerian Authorities.

Nigerian government spends a lot in combating and suppressing Biafra agitators; while giving tacit support to Fulani Terrorist Herdsmen and Jihadists, ravaging the area. The truth is that thousands of soldiers mobilized into the area, are there to fight against Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). As well, they shield Fulani Jihadists who are on mission to conquer, and take possession of our land.

Nigerian Authorities are wasting a lot in financial and material resources, to combat IPOB, and other freedom agitators. They have used various arms and ammunition on our people in the villages. They include war planes, armoured tanks, machine guns, or automatic weapons like AK-47, to kill people in the villages. They used war planes in Orlu, Imo State for instance. At a stage, ESN shot down two of the jets.

If not for Eastern Security Network (ESN), a security wing of IPOB,  the whole of Igbo land would have been dotted with refugee camps. It would have been a conquered territory of Fulanis.

If Nigerian Authorities are sincere about ending so-called insecurity in Biafra land, they should end Fulani expansionism and adventurism in our territory. Our people were able to chase them away from nearly all our forests. They were using the forests and bushes, as dens of kidnappings, ransom payments, ritual murders, and other criminal activities.

The bone of contention is the nefarious activities of Fulani Herdsmen. A lot of them combine cattle rearing with kidnapping, armed robbery, and so on. They rape women and girls in their farms. Let them leave, and there won’t be need for compromised, Nigerian security agents, running after IPOB. The worse part of the situation, is that many of those invaders came from outside the country. They came from Niger Republic, Songhai, Mali and so on. They are like vagabonds looking for people to displace, and take over their ancestral land!

They are on a mission impossible. Our people are highly prepared to stop their satanic conquest; just as their Forefather Utman Dan Fodio, was stopped in Benue, more than a century ago. Such primitive lifestyle of trying to conquer people, is no longer tenable. They use those dirty cows to look for trouble. You need to see them parading the streets in urban centres, with those malnourished cows.

Those animals even chase pupils and students out from their classrooms. It’s degrading to see soldiers guarding, and moving along with herds of cattle, with guns and battle gears. Are Nigerian soldiers now cattle rearers? The cattle rearers and their flock cause accidents on the roads; and claim damages from motorists for injuring their cows. They are undesirable elements in the society. If they leave, carnage in our land will drastically reduce.

The Kano State Governor Ganduje, has long offered to accommodate all the wandering cattle rearers and their cattle, even the foreigners among them. He has modern facilities to take care of them. But, their murderous sponsors won’t allow them to listen. They wrongly think they can wage their primitive Jihad war, against the people using cows as fronts_ which are not fit for human consumption.

These people should bear it in mind, it’s a matter of time a non-Fulani will rule this country. His tenure will bring sanity to Nigeria. He will nib in the bud, all forms of terrorism, banditry, Fulani expansionism, and all worth not. He doesn’t need to purchase sophisticated weapons to battle them. He can simply round up all those financiers, backing those armed terrorist gangs, as well as arrest all their infiltrators and informants in the Armed forces; those behind successful ambushes against troops. Then, he will expel all foreign terrorists out of the country. Any sincere President, can end terrorism within few weeks of assuming power. Then, all the money and resources being used on those hoodlums, will be channeled to paying workers and pensioners owed for years, among other things. Everything that has beginning has ending.

The person currently ruling Nigeria pampers terrorists so much. That is why terrorism is thriving as a booming business; leaving  behind deaths and destruction. Lootings of the treasury is at its peak. Somebody can steal over 100 billion naira, and will be left off the hook, while demand of ASUU is neglected. Everywhere is collapsing. Terrorism is taking a toll on the country.

Fulani Herdsmen are being used to destroy agricultural input in Eastern Nigeria; so that we will continue to rely on the North for most of our food supply. How do you explain actions of human beings leading cows to enter in flourishing farms, to eat up vegetables, cassava leaves, everything? Even those wicked and devilish herders, uproot yams, cut them to pieces and feed the cattle? And nobody is doing anything about it. It shows how wicked people ruling us are. Jusgement of God will surely fall upon them!

Eating Crumbs Under Slave Masters’ Tables

Some saboteurs from Eastern Nigeria prefer being slaves to Nigerian Fulani-Controlled Government, to fighting for the rights of the people they claim to represent. They love playing second fiddle, or being at the corridor of power. They are modern slaves to mediocre: persons they are much better and educated than.

Our Igbo sellouts have mortgaged the well being, of long neglected Igbo land for their selfish political ambitions. They are being used to fight against Biafra restoration, only for them to be dumped and frustrated by same Northern slave masters. They conspire with their taskmasters for the invasion of our land by Fulani soldiers, as well as other terrorists. But they will all crumble and fail like a pack of cards; for our people are highly determined to emancipate themselves, from the shackles of our oppressors and their collaborators, this time around.

A former Governor from Biafra land, happens to be a serving Senator in National Assembly. He is one of those who have allowed themselves; to be used against their people, in their inordinate quest for power and riches. This unscrupulous entity has done the much he can to frustrate the Biafra struggle; but have failed woefully. He was sent to persuade Nnamdi Kanu to drop Biafra agitation, when the latter was in Kuje Prison. He forced himself again to see Kanu; this time at DSS detention cell. His mission against Biafra was a complete failure.

He was under serious pressure to fight against Biafra struggle tooth and nail, for him to be left off the hook on corruption charges against him. Nevertheless, he was found guilty of stealing some billions from the treasury; and summarily jailed for some years. His much cherished Presidential ambition was scuttled in the process. He was betrayed by persons he trusted to save him from going to prison. When he came out of jail, he continued with his subversive activities against his own people. He made another spirited effort to contest Presidential primary of his ruling political party. He was blackmailed and intimidated to step down, as another court case against him was looming.

Now, he misuses his position as Senator, to invite soldiers to clash with Biafra agitators in his so-called constituency. This charlatan is planning to send war planes to bomb the areas, which he doesn’t have the authority to do. He has taken his arrogance and impunity too far. When Fulani Herdsmen kidnapped, beat up, and extorted 100 million naira ransom from Methodist Church Prelate, this corrupt Senator never uttered a word. The incidence took place in his constituency. He never reacted to the incessant killings and abductions by Fulani Terrorist Herdsmen, he invited to come and ravage our land. Today, Abia North Senatorial zone, is one of the most dangerous areas, Fulani Jihadists are terrorizing and kidnapping people, in Biafra land.

One thing is common with Igbo saboteurs who trade on the blood of their people. They are deeply immersed into deadly secret societies. They are diabolical. They wrongly think they can have their ways in life, by dining with devils. Their hands are so stained with blood, that nothing moves them, even if people are being killed around them. These wicked persons, can get involved in any atrocities like ritual killings and human sacrifices, and won’t feel it. Their conscience is dead.

The devils they worship in their secret places, have spells over them. They may claim to belong to Christian or Muslim religion; yet their allegiance is to the deities they worship secretly; religious hypocrites. These agents of darkness only use religious affinity to win election, or rig themselves to power. There is no fear of God in them. The situation in Nigeria is terrible. Majority of our rulers both past and present, are occultic or fetish. Satan is lording it over his subjects through them.

But, they fail to understand that everything which had beginning has ending. They can’t continue to hold the people to ransom for too long. When God arises, His enemies will scatter. Time will come when those fetish, amulets, charms, and talisman, they move about with, will disappoint them. Then, those things they are afraid of will come upon them.

Their evil powers won’t lead them to anywhere. God Almighty will knock off those evil powers from them. Those who trust in idols and charms shall be disappointed and ashamed (Isaiah 40:16). We therefore call for a change of attitude and repentance.

Nobody born of woman can hold Biafra to ransom, no matter how highly placed he may think he is. Anybody who says Biafra won’t be actualized in his lifetime, or say under his dead body will Biafra be realized, is putting a curse upon himself. God will honour his request. He shall die before the actualization of Biafra! Any braggart who arrogates to himself of being a stumbling block to Biafra liberation, should watch it. Pride goes before a fall. God will clear him from the way, and bring him to nothing! He cannot lord it over God’s people. He is a glorified sand that will soon return to the earth.

Saboteurs and their likes will be relegated to the background in the forthcoming Biafra. They will live to regret their treachery. They will make themselves nobodies there. Their evils and betrayal of their people, will haunt them all their lives. There is no peace for the wicked.

We therefore counsel saboteurs, to retrace their steps back into the fold. They shouldn’t be like Essau in the bible, who sold his birthright because of morsel of food. He regretted his action throughout his life. Some of you have learnt bitter lessons in the hands of your slave masters. They used you, and then frustrated your political ambitions to rule Nigeria. Now they have dumped you. Other stubborn persons may never learn from the calamities of others. Igbo adage says, “Akpukpo ahu ka nti anu ihe.” That is to say the afflicted skin hears more than the ears. My honest prayer is that you turn a new leaf, and be an instrument in God’s hand to uplift your people; and not to destroy them. Amen.

Open Letter to Aso Rock Occuppier

Sir,

I will begin by expressing my support for this Government, at the early stage of its inception in 2015. The thinking then, was that billions stolen by previous administration, should be recovered: both at home and abroad.

I was among those who clamoured for recovery of stolen billions, stashed in foreign banks. We appealed to International Community for help. While doing so, we believed that the elected President, retired Major General Muhammadu Buhari, would be in a position to sanitize the very corrupt system; judging from his pedigree. But as time went on, we discovered the fight against corruption is ineffective; as trial and prosecution of culprits are selective.

Now, we appeal you use your position to obey United Nations directive, for release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from detention. You have left off the hook thousands of Boko Haram members detained; and still releasing more. You have gone further to give them one form of rehabilitation package or the other. Many of them have killed, raped, and committed all manner of heinous crimes.

We wish you let IPOB  to be. Proscribing it isn’t the best way out of the situation. There are several terrorist, armed gangs, operating mostly in the Northern parts of Nigeria. They are yet to be proscribed. Instead, we hear of hundreds of millions being spent on them as ransom and so on. Kaduna is a home of countless military bases and facilities. It’s very hard to believe rag-tag terrorists and kidnappers, can operate in Kaduna unchallenged. Some of them abducted train passengers, and have held them hostage for months now. They release  their victims piecemeal, after payment of outrageous ransom.

Unproscribing IPOB, will go a long way in easing tension in Eastern Nigeria. The insecurity in this part of Nigeria is caused mainly by the clamp down on Biafran agitators by security agents. The truth is that they overlook the nefarious activities of Fulani Herdsmen: which include destruction of farmlands, rape, murders and kidnappings. Instead those compromised security agents, go for agitators, who are resisting those disguised hoodlums.

Some State Governors here, are spending a lot to fight ‘insecurity’. Yet there is no tangible result. They spend billions buying armoured vehicles and logistics for Police and Military. As well, they hire militants who are not indigenes at exorbitant fees, and convert them to so-called vigilantes. And the burning of homes, shops, and other properties continue unchecked. The money being spent on these coalition of forces against agitators, is more than enough to pay thousands of workers and pensioners owed for years, especially in Imo State. Let them know IPOB and ESN  are not monsters. They are humane. You are in full support of Palestinian freedom; as well as Polisaro separation from Morocco. Agitation for self-determination of any aggrieved group, is supported by UN charter on human rights. If they clamp down on people, It can cause the agitators to go underground, like what happened during apartheid regime in South Africa.

Sir, I would like you to investigate thoroughly, the kidnap incidence of Nigerian Methodist Prelate on May 2022. He and two occupants in his car were abducted by Fulani Herdsmen, who doubled as kidnappers. They tortured and beat them mercilessly. Those armed robbers insisted on 100 million naira ransom, which was paid later before their release.

Their abductors revealed a lot surrounding their kidnap business in Nigeria. Some of them are from Sudan, Mali and Songhai. They said 50 million naira (half of the money), would go to their sponsors. These are highly placed individuals who provide them with arms and ammunition, among other logistics. Also, they narrated they are on a mission in Eastern Nigeria to kill the inhabitants, and take possession of their land. They would use the ransom money to stockpile weapons for the forthcoming attack. They said further they were all waiting for go ahead order from their Northern elite, for the go ahead for the massive attack. The Prelate’s deposition is well recorded on YouTube, for anybody to access. As well, find out why soldiers deployed to the East, ignore the criminal activities of Fulani Herdsmen. Instead, insecurity is blamed solely on our people who are resisting them.

We want to state clearly, we have been co-existing peacefully with Fulanis and other Northerners, before the sponsored infiltration of our communities and forests. A lot of them engage in legitimate business: like selling of clothes, food stuffs such as rice and beans. We buy from them regularly. Also they move around residential areas to buy “Iron kwondem” (condemned iron). They like to live their normal, simple lifestyle. But, they are being pushed into armed conflicts, and taking over of people’s lands, by their Northern elite, for selfish, political ambitions. They are easily brainwashed.

Our people are peace loving and humane. Anybody who claims Igbo people want to kill Hausa or Fulani, is not telling the truth. We know our main problem is not with the peasant Fulanis living among us; but with those elite sponsoring and gingering them. We therefore call for a change of attitude. Find out those behind Fulani invasion of our communities and forests.

Finally, we would like you to live behind a legacy cherished by the people. Right now, people are suffering terribly in this country Nigeria. Importation of finished petroleum products into the country, isn’t helping maters. All rulers of this country both past and present, are guilty of neglecting our local refineries. Something has to be done for Nigeria to be refining crude oil locally. The importation has caused hike in prices of refined products, with ever increasing cost of goods and services. Naira is becoming more and more worthless.

Use your position to pay backlog of salaries and pensions. Multitude Federal pensioners are owed for more than ten years. Check the impunity of some state Governors. Some of them owe workers and pensioners for years.

We would like you to address the gross neglect and exclusion of Igbos, in the scheme of things. Even when you collected loan from China sometime ago, South East was completely excluded from development projects associated with the loan. If all these issues are addressed, they will go a long way in easing tension and making the country a better place to live in.

Yours Sincerely,

Evangelist Joseph U. Afurobi.
