PART 4
THE HYPOCRISY OF THE MEN OF MAMMON CRITICISING MUHAMMADU BUHARI…NEPOTISM ABOUNDS IN THE HOUSE OF GOD TOO
The last son and Senior Personal Assistant of the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, Leke Adeboye, recently thanked OAP Daddy Freeze for his continuous criticism of his father’s preaching on tithe.
THE ATTACKS NEXT TIME...ISLAMISM AS THE HANDMAID OF ETHNIC NATIONALISM IN NIGERIA
So fellow Nigerians, the next time you hear Miyetti Wahala-Miyetti Blood threatening to call thunder on any rebel/dissident/scandalous person who dares to say Mallam Daura is not the best thing to have happened to Nigeria, just keep your cool, and comfort yourself with the fact that they are merely following precedence in a standardless Nigeria without national and cultural integrity and sensitivity!
It took Nigeria of yore just 30 months to defeat the Biafrans, well some said because one Obafemi Awolowo of the Cocoa Land introduced hunger, so why hasn’t the same war by hunger strategy been introduced by someone out there to end terror in Nigeria?
Then if hunger was introduced to force the Igbos to surrender and in the so-called war against Boko Haram, if nobody out there has attempted to revisit the strategy, then you see what I mean – a matter of business, and having such a murderous outfit which revels in purposeless malignity for the preservation of the FHK ethnic nationalities to further perpetuate their dominance of the Abeeds in Nigeria through violence, and for the pleasure and glory of the Arabs and all of the Muslim Ummah!
Again, just which politician in Nigeria does not keep private army, in addition to maintaining killing and kidnapping squad?
Just which traditional ruler in Nigeria or should we say – FULANIGERIA or Hausanigeria or Kanurigeria or Fulbegeria or Miyetti-Allahgeria or Boko Haramgeria or Fulani-herdsmengeria or just Daurageria that does not have a private army or maintain a killing and kidnapping squad; which so-called big man/woman and even motor park ‘Governors’ that does not run a hired killing business, that keeps multiplying by the second like the many headed-hydra, especially as the elections draw nigh?
Also, which of the so-called men and women of God and imams and alfas, Sheikhs that do not have Holy Police and private prisons or detention camps, where they keep, detain and torture any members of their congregation which hold opposing views?
How about your retired military and the police, and your so-called celebrities filling every national space with Mariamic-Babangidian-Mammonic and Nollywood moralities?
Just which of these elements are not a law onto themselves, carrying out jungle justices on hapless and innocent Nigerians?
BETWEEN NIGERIANISM, ARABISM/ISLAMISM…THE NDA AUTHORITIES WILL WITHOUT FAIL GO FOR THE LATTER
Here is how and the NDA prefers Arabism and Islamism to indigeneity and Christian sensibilities. But wouldn’t those Arabists and the Islamists at the NDA have considered the teaching of Hebrew too as representing the Judaeo-Christian community in Nigeria?
“Languages
- You are here: Nigeria Defence Academy
- Languages“The importance of Multilingualism is a universal need for modern life where contacts, communication and media have been compressed into a planetary global village. The choice of Arabic and French as the starting point for the Department’s language programmes is very vital. Both French and Arabic are highly valued in the Nigerian Armed forces. Both Arabic and French are critical to Nigeria. French is the language of our Francophone neighbors. Arabic is also a co-official Language in Chad a neighboring Country with which Nigeria shares water resources and other interests. In addition, Arabic is the official and national language of a large number of African countries, such as Egypt, Morocco, Sudan, Tunisia, Mauritania, Somalia to mention but a few. With Nigeria’s profile increasingly increasing in Africa, Nigeria’s leadership role requires our Armed Forces familiarity with the linguistic traditions of such large chunks of a continent we hope to lead. Because of Nigeria’s internationally respected role in peace keeping operations in the West African sub-region, Nigeria’s Armed Forces may be required to play continental roles of peace keeping. In such eventualities our armed forces should be adequately equipped with languages of the continent like Arabic and French for smooth field operations, signaling need and other Communication and planning exigencies. As Nigeria is seeking An African permanent Membership in the UN Security Council to represent the Continent, a broader international linguistic profile for our Armed Forces to encompass Arabic and French which are among the most valued languages of the Continent is extremely important. It will attract respect for Nigeria, trust and confidence for our Armed Forces that will be well equipped with Continental communication tools. The following items may be stressed as additional points that make it necessary to teach Arabic and French languages to our Cadets in NDA. Arabic is the official and national Language of a large number of Africa countries, such as Egypt, Morocco, Sudan, Tunisia, and Somalia, to mention but a few. With Nigeria’s profile increasingly increasing in Africa, our leadership role requires our Armed Forces familiarity with the Linguistic traditions of such large chunks of a continent we hope to lead. Because of Nigeria’s internationally respected role in peacekeeping operations in the West African sub-region, Nigerian Armed Forces may be required to play continental roles of peacekeeping.

It will attract respect for Nigeria, trust and confidence for our Armed Forces that will be equipped with continental Communication tools. There is a widely appreciated need for our Armed Forces familiarity with Arabic and French. In the POP of September 2000 a retired General invited as a guest of Honour at the Commandant’s Luncheon has observed the need for a strong linguistic base in Arabic and French within the Nigerian Armed Forces. Our Armed Forces will not only need the two Languages in operations but in diverse Military need such in assignments as Military Attaches or Defence Advisors to Francophone and Arab phone, African and other nations. Arabic is been taught widely in US military Academies since the time immemorial the language with which they were able to penetrate effectively into the Middle East. Please see American Website or Arabic in US military Academies on the Internet. Arabic is 4th most spoken languages of the World, it is one of the Languages of the United Nations Organization, AU. Arab league and many other International Organizations. For the above reasons and more, we consider it very crucial and important that, these two languages be reconsidered positively and to be re-instate fully in the curriculum of the academic program of NDA for the benefit of this grate nation. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES Language is a vehicle of thought and a unique means of communication between individuals, communities and nations. No meaningful human and material development can take place without language. Unsurprisingly human beings since antiquity accord the acquisition of language and the study of its skills important place in their educational endeavors. Specifically, Arabic language as one of Nigerian languages and the language of many sister African states in the African union has its multifaceted importance in the scheme of things. Our four year B.A. programme for both Arabic and French aims at realizing the following objectives: 1. To enable cadets to acquire spoken and written competence in Arabic and French languages 2. To enable cadets through competence in Arabic or French language appreciate African history and civilization before the colonial era, much of which is recorded in Arabic language. 3 To acquaint cadets with the socio-cultural, economic, commercials, political and diplomatic aspects of the life of the speakers of the language with a view to promoting international understanding. 4 To equip cadets with adequate training in the fields of teaching, translation, interpretation, administration, journalism and diplomatic and intelligent service.”WHY ARABIC IN SECULAR NIGERIA AND IN A SUPPOSEDLY NATIONAL MILITARY INSTITUTION?
- Languages
- The Arabic language project will see the Fulbes, Hausas and the Kanuris who cannot speak or write in English, but can speak and write in Arabic and Hausa occupy very important positions in a Secular Nigeria.
- The calculation is that the standards and qualifications for recruitments into the military and para-military will be so lowered such that if you are not educated/literate in the Western sense, but educated/literate in the Eastern sense (Arabic) and the Hausa language you can yet be recruited into the military and para-military and into all public offices – and in a society like Nigeria, where such exercises are based on hereditary privilege and kinship or clannism, the Fulanis/Hausas and the Kanuris who have dominated every national/public space will benefit or be favoured the most as is the case under the anti-Nigeria element called Muhammadu Buhari.
- And it is not unlikely that Hausa and Arabic languages will be adopted as the official languages in the core North, and efforts might be made later to impose it on the Middle Belters, especially once the plot to impose an emir on Markurdi, making it an emirate subject to the Sokoto Sultanate/Caliphate has materialised.
- Arabic and Hausa to become the language of literacy – education and training (learning and teaching) in the Sharia States.
- With this break down in standardization and in a situation of the absence of national values, national identity, national interest, national sensitivity, cultural sensitivity, moral sensitivity, religious sensitivity, consciencism, cultural sensitivity, indigeneity, Nigeria now faces a double tragedy, whereupon, the sword of Damocles dangles over her head and a Samurai sword put on her very soul.
Right now, to the spiritually discerning, it can be seen that the wall of Nigeria is already out of line; there are unpatchable fault lines than any time in the history of Nigeria, and far above all else, the irascible Samson has knocked down all of it frontline and central pillars, remaining just a very few weak ones, and just one more ant on top of it, the building is sure to crumble, bringing it down and reducing the House of Nigeria to a mere rubble.
Hark! Hark! Hark!
Sudden rumbling of thunder with constant flashes of lightning
and the mega dam bursts and the mega dam bursts!
And the mega dam bursts,
followed by unprecedented floods,
then echoes of wailings all over the land,
then darkness descends,
then darkness descends all over the land as in Armageddon!
Under Nero Muhammadu Buhari, the light of Nigeria has gone out and her glory departed; the sun has refused to shine and the moon has given up her light; the stars too have refused to sparkle, and sorrow, discomfort and depression and desolation have taken over Nigeria, leaving behind dashed hope and shattered dreams; and now reign supreme, suicides, suicides, suicides and homicides everywhere, and the Presidency, a mere Aceldama.
THE LOST TONGUES AND KINGDOMS
The reader must be made aware that one of the many, many untold stories of the jihad spear-headed by the arch-terrorist, Uthman Dan Fodio was that between 1804 and 1809 that the jihad lasted, over five-hundred indigenous tribes (ethnic nationalities) were wiped out – and between that period till date, many indigenous languages had gone into extinction, courtesy of the gargantuan nature of the Hausa language, the policy of linguistic impositionism, which Muhammadu Buhari through that non-war General and contract-chasing General Tukur Yusuf Buratai attempted to revive very recently, that had been adopted by the caliphate – that of superimposing the Hausa language over other indigenous languages.
These are what will happen when you stupidly give out your lands for the so-called ranches or cattle colony in addition to capturing and beheading indigenous monarchs and replacing them with Arab’s, not Islam, monarchical system/heritage - emirs, emirates and caliphates, with the Sultan of Sokoto as the Grand Ayatollah and spiritual head of all the Muslims in Nigeria, with the whole of Nigeria becoming part of the Arabs’ empire.
But when will the Muslims in other parts of Nigeria begin to demand the rotation of the spiritual headship of all the Muslims in Nigeria, instead of acting sheepishly and slavishly to the authorities of the Sultan and his cousins in far off East?
When I did predict many, many years ago that there would be a time when the forces of Islam in Nigeria and their foreign collaborators would go about beheading indigenous monarchs and installing emirs in their steads, many a Nigerian thought such bestiality would never, ever take place in Nigeria, but have I not now been vindicated many times over with respect to this very prediction and other monstrosities that the Fulbe jihadists are carrying out in their ongoing jihad and ethnic cleansing spree, courtesy of Taliban Buhari’s scorched earth policy?
BURATAI’S WAZOBIA LANGUAGE PROJECT…LINGUISTIC IMPERIALISM AND IMPOSITIONISM IN NIGERIA
Do fellow Nigerian know that to the average Hausa/Fulbe person, Hausa is Nigeria’s NATIONAL LANGUAGE (lingua franca!)?
Many a Nigerian had been asked, whilst in the core North: kana ji national language ne? (Don’t you understand the national language”)?
Even this writer had been so asked by Almajiris (street urchins/beggars). In one of my many investigations in and around the Northern States of Nigeria in the early 1990s, the Almajiris, who were following me like a horde of flies at Gashua in Yobe state asked me, whilst I had at a point stopped after we had crossed the Yobe River to ask them: “Why are you all not in school by this time of the day?”
Musa, my interpreter who was assigned to me by Dr Hadi Mustapha, then a Director at the Kano State Ministry of Agriculture, after he had interpreted my question in Hausa to them, “the Almajiris then shot their salvoes and cannonades at me, giggling heartedly:
“Kanaji national language ne?”
“Kanaji national language ne?”
Making jest of me by ignoring my question, they giggled amongst themselves as they talked excitedly that I had dressed like Bako (a Westerner) instead of dressing like an Hausa person they had insisted I was, despite Musa’s frantic rejection, including my own personal explanation to them that I wasn’t an Hausa man.”
Ke ria ne,” they all countered saying I was merely pretending.
They began educating me that the Hausa language is a universal language that is spoken by all of humanity, wondering why I couldn’t understand this universal language.
They were laughing at me, with some of them coming to touch my tie, my long sleeves which they had all likened to that of the white man’s. Those who are conversant with my decades of campaign for the education of the Almajiris of all ages, would agree, that having had an opportunity to hear from the Almajiris, I would not abandon my question, as Generals, emirs and the elites whom I had taken up this national and universal shame of the Almajiris with, about these children of God not benefitting from Western education, had told me that was how they wanted it.
And any time I had asked either by way of formal interviews with eminent Nigerians from the North, or in the course of my many, many informal discourses with some eminent Nigerians from the North, especially emirs and Generals and other top ranking military and police officers and civil servants, they would say to me that people should be allowed to be educated in line with their religion.
But whenever I asked these eminent Fulbes, Hausas and Kanuris why they don’t subject/allow/encourage their own very children to take to the life of Almajiris (street life of begging and sleeping rough), they would keep mum and try to change the topic to something else.
Once during my interview with General Musa Balarabe Haladu at his then Kaduna Guest House, in his capacity as the Commandant of what I had said to him was the Northern Defence Academy (the so-called Nigerian Defence Academy), when this pet question of mine was posed to him, he had struggled to reply: “ My dear John, people should be allowed to be educated along the line of their religion. That is what they want. And if that is what they want, let them have it.”
General Haladu was this writer’s mentor and also, Minister of Industry during the Maximum Butcher of Kano’s reign, Sani Achaba (Abacha).
