NIGERIA: A JOURNEY BACKWARD…YES, THE NIGERIAN CIVIL WAR OF 1967-1970 WAS A JIHAD BY SOME OTHER NAME

As you read this article, I’d like you to imagine yourself inside a 1960 truck – Bedford model, having as its number plate FGN 1914 with passengers from all parts of Nigeria inside it being conveyed back to the past on this badly damaged and panel-beaten truck – DAURA EXPRESS, which had not only been patched and patched and welded again and again all over, but actually had seen many years – both good and bad, and both pleasant and unpleasant, whose driver is simply known at the motor park and by the passengers as BABA DAURA or BABA REHOBOAM, and his very sheepish and obsequious conductor is known variously to the same audiences as BABA RUGADITY or BABA AWOOF in which they hope to convey all the passengers therein back to the usually blood-littered, bumpy, crater-ridden infamous Federal Highway – ROAD ’66 believed to be worse and more dangerous than the Jericho Road of old.

THE OGBONGE QUESTION, LAMENTATION AND REPARATION FOR NDIGBO FOR THE DESTABILIZATION AND DESTRUCTION OF NDIGBOISM AND THE IGBO CIVILIZATION DURING THE 30-MONTH CIVIL WAR

Against the backdrop of all that are befalling Nigeria currently under the Nero of Daura – Boko Haram’s and international terrorists activities in Nigeria; high level of unspeakable nepotism; the scorched earth policy of his administration; the recalibration and re-cloning of Nigeria in the image of Saudi Arabia; cultural imperialism/transplanting/engrafting as being manifested in the creation of FULANI SETTLEMENTS cum the cow invasion and forceful seizure of indigenous people’s lands, which might be in no distant time via the instrumentality of EXECUTIVE ORDER by the Fulbe land thieves/bandits across Nigeria, and moving backward; the Fulbe-Hausa solo restructuring as in the loss of Southern Cameroon to the Cameroonians and the French and later Bakassi; the various boundary adjustments/the real reasons for the creation of the Mid West Region in 1963 and the inherent intrigues/state creation exercises since 1967, which only favoured the trio of Fulbes/the Hausas and the Kanuris, etc, what then was the purpose of the civil war if all these are befalling the Nigerian nation before the very eyes of all the protagonists of the war still living – a situation where the supposed victors could tacitly and brazenly too, encourage the seizure of people’s ancestral lands, after having desecrated their last sleeping places – even their graves, ignoring the cries of these ancestors of theirs as they wail and wail, and plead to be allowed the dignity of resting in peace, including the lands belonging to all those who fought on their side, whilst seeking to wipe them and their faith out from the surface of the earth, for the sakes of their animals (cows) and Saudi Arabia?

Aaah! Do you not know that Muhammadu Buhari, a Sunni Muslim of the worst type is a surrogate of the House of Saud? Mallam Buhari has annexed Nigeria to Saudi Arabia long, long ago.

As a matter of fact, the House of Saud are the ones ruling Nigeria – and Rehoboam Muhammadu Buhari has been receiving instructions from them and the UAE to wipe out Christians, Iran’s Shi’ites in Nigeria, all non-Fulbes and kafirs – and when the happen happens, Yemen, Sudan, Rwanda, Somalia will be a child’s play as the House of Nigeria has already been invaded by fierce and very unfriendly looking aliens who daily move up and down aimlessly now in all the streets, communities, hamlets, villages, towns and cities in Nigeria, claiming they are internally displaced persons running away from Boko Haram!

Again, I ask what then was the purpose of the so-called 30-month Nigerian civil war, which to me was in fact, a jihad by some other name?

If all these are happening – the ethnic cleansing of genocidal proportion as being perpetrated by the Fulbes, the Hausas and the Kanuris directed at all outside of their ethnic nationalities before the very eyes of the world and all of humanity, then the civil war was indeed, a jihad, where its beneficiaries are the Arabs, the Fulbes, the Hausas and the Kanuris.

In view of this and other injustices and atrocities that now abound in the House of Nigeria, I hereby record for posterity that the civil war was a war of blame, very pointless, hence I demand reparation for Ndigbo immediately.

And this should commence immediately with the setting up of the National Council for the Reparation for Ndigbo (NCRN) over the civil war – and Nigeria be split to either two countries in one – the Republic of Northland and the Republic of Southland, but under a new name to be known and called THE NIBE FEDERATION – the new name derived from the first two letters of both rivers Niger and Benue or five countries in one, namely: Arewa Republic, comprising the core North of North East and North West, and O’odua Republic, The Midland Republic - comprising all the states in the current North Central arrangement, the Niger Delta Republic, comprising all the six States that make up the current South South geo-political region and the Oriental Republic, comprising the current five States of the South East, having the mother country as THE NIBE FEDERATION.

Unarguably, the Fulbes think the present Federal Republic of Nigeria as is presently constituted is the private estate of their forebears and once the name Nigeria is replaced with the proposed one – NIBE (THE NIBE FEDERATION), under FIVE SYSTEMS IN ONE, the trio of the Fulanis, Hausas and the Kanuris will be cured of their delusion of grandeur that Nigeria is their inheritance, to which only they, particularly the Fulbes are heirs – a notion which explains their mentality of BORN TO RULE perpetually.

SEXISM AND SHARIA IN THE NIGERIAN CONSTITUTIONS – 1979 TILL THE PRESENT

My regular reader will observe that keeping Nigeria one is both a vision and life’s work for me, hence in all of my writings across decades, I have come up with many propositions to enable all concerned move in their own pace depending on whichever of these propositions are workable and sustainable.

Also, it is my national and patriotic duty to once again remind fellow Nigerians that the current two systems in one forebears doom as evidenced in the current jungle-like state into which the nation has been plunged since 2000 with the introduction of Sharia in some States in the North before the very eyes of Olusegun Obasanjo, who had first midwifed the Sharia and sexist-oriented (the use of undetext grammar – the dominance of the pronoun, “he” instead of “s/he” or the gender-neutral/inclusive pronoun, “they”, aimed to promote patriarchalism and masochism – two symbols of Islam/Islamism and medievalism rather than aiming at inclusivity) constitution for Nigeria in 1979.

ALMAJIRIS AS FRANKEINSTEIN’S MONSTERS AND CANNON FODDER

The so-called war against Boko Haram, which to us is a mere Kulikuli Dance, has been unnecessarily prolonged because the trio of Fulbes, Hausas and the Kanuris are using it to line up their pockets as a way of partaking in the so-called national cake – a method of wealth redistribution by some other name, even though in the case under reference, it is a bloody one.

The Almajiris as I had warned in the early 1990s have become a serious liability, first to the Nigerian State, and an international shame and a global embarrassment to the Hausa, Fulani and the Kanuri elites who have kept them down over the years to use them to perpetrate violence against every of their perceived enemies, the Christians, especially Ndigbo – and having also, become a Frankenstein’s monsters, they see these terrorists activities as a way of recruiting them to do jihad and dispense with them at will, particularly when they get killed.

LINGUISTIC IMPERIALISM AS A VEHICLE FOR FULANISATION

The Tukur Yusuf Buratai’s WAZOBIA LANGUAGE PROJECT will offer the Fulbes, the Hausas and the Kanuris the opportunity of filling the military with stark illiterates, functional illiterates and lettered illiterates from the North, mostly from amongst the Almajiris as was the case during the colonial period, immediately after the departure of the colonialists, part of the Sir James Robertson’s advice, who as a matter of fact, was left behind by the departing British colonial officials to coach and mentor their amenable stooges – members of the Oligarchic class as they were then known and referred to, and now simply as cabals, who had just taken over from them to OCCUPY TILL I COME – Ahmadu Bello/Tafawa Balewa and their gang.

But whilst the other Arewa fifle are pushing to have Hausa as a national language, Rehoboam of Daura seems to think otherwise, especially with his current fierce pursuit of Fulbeism (COWOISM/ZANGOISM) – so Fulfulde is being kept in view as the preferred national language for Nigeria.

THE BIRTH AND SUBSEQUENT INAUGURATION OF THE FULBEISM MOVEMENT

KHALIFA REHOBOAM MUHAMMADU IBN BUHARI AL-DAURANUS: THE ABANDONMENT OF THE TRIPODAL/TRAINGULAR ALLIANCE

But hang on a minute, going by the current messianic project of the Khalifa Muhammadu Ibn Buhari to bring all the Fulbes of West Africa, then continentally and afterward globally together, do the Fulbes intend to abandon the hitherto TRIPODAL/TRIANGULANCE ALLIANCE of the Fulbes-Hausas and the Kanuris and go solo in order to achieve the set objective of bringing all the Fulbes worldwide together under the FULBEISM MOVEMENT just as David Ben-Gurion did for the Jews on May 14, 1948 through the instrumentality of the Zionism Movement, leading to the current State of Israel?

Also, during the war, every Musa and Kwankwaso were sent into the military to fight the 30-month jihad, erroneously referred to as the “Nigerian civil war”, into which Yakubu Gowon, that Fulbe licking plate stooge, Obafemi Awolowo, Olusegun Obasanjo, Theophilus Yakubu Danjuma and others naively bought.

The situation is such that in both the military and the police, over 99.09% of the military personnel from the North, especially from the Fulbe, Hausa and Kanuri ethnic nationalities are either stark illiterates, functional illiterates or mere lettered illiterates. They can neither speak English nor write in English, hence they cannot describe anything that will lead to the arrest of an escapee criminal, make or write statement in English.

These illiterate members of the armed forces are usually left in the North, where they are comfortable speaking Hausa, but cannot write in Hausa.

However, during periods of crises they are sent in droves together with their kith and kin from other ECOWAS countries to the South, Midland and Christian-dominated communities in the North to commit genocide of immense proportion!

But whenever they are so sent to quell crises/violence of immense proportion up North, the same ferocious-looking Fulbe-Hausa-Kanuri elements of the so-called Nigeria Army, whose mentality in the 21st century has not gone past 1863, the then Glover Hausas under Lt John Hawley Glover, they are circumspect/cautious as they carefully select Southerners, Christians, particularly the Igbos and slaughter them, in addition to giving the Nigeria Army uniforms to their kith and kin, encouraging them to go on the rampage killing the ‘enemies’, mostly Southerners, Christians, again, particularly Nigerians of Igbo ethnic nationality, whom they so love to hate.

Think you that this pattern of deployment of the military started with General TYB?

No! You are wrong if you think so – as a matter of fact, the pattern began from Lt Glover, the founder of the then ethnic militia of Northern extraction and has been continued till date.

ISLAMISMS IN ASABA MASSACRE - THE ISLAMISTS’ STRATEGY IN ASABA MASSACRE… THE CURRENT ISIS, BOKO HARAM AND FULANI HERDMENS’ SLAUGHTERING STRATEGIES ARE PHOTOCOPIES OF EARLIER CENTURIES METHODS OF EXTERMINATING THE SO-CALLED INFIDELS/ABEEDS/KAFIRS SINCE THE 6TH CENTURY A.D. TILL THE PRESENT

Apocalypsis

Across centuries, Islamists and all adherents of Islam from inception - the 6th century A.D. have continued to use similar methods of killing people of other faiths – the non-Arabs, non-Turks, non-nomads, and in recent centuries, the non-Fulbes such as the Jews, Christians, animists, and as it concerns Nigeria, all the non-Fulani ethnic nationalities that currently share the Nigerian geographical space with them, etc – be it assembling a large population of those they consider as rebels against Allah and Islam, and afterwards separating women and children from the menfolk and then proceed to shoot them just as Col. Murtala Muhammed, Major Ibrahim Taiwo and Major-General Ibrahim Bata Malgwi Haruna, who was the General Officer Commanding (GOC) of the 2nd Division of the Nigeria Army did at Asaba in 1967 (https://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/10/revisiting-1967-asaba-massacre/ or gas them.

Evil Haruna was to later disdainfully testified before the Oputa Panel set up by former President Olusegun Obasanjo: “As the commanding officer and leader of the troops that massacred 500 men in Asaba, I have no apology for those massacred in Asaba, Owerri and Ameke-Item. I acted as a soldier maintaining the peace and unity of Nigeria,” Maj-Gen Ibrahim Haruna, speaking at the Oputa Panel on 9 October 2001.

Other well-known and worn-out methods of beheading, raping, forcefully marrying off mature women and under-aged girls to fellow Muslims, selling the captured into slavery, forceful abduction of the under-aged, particularly as in the the Chibok- Dapchi girls abductions, disembowelling of foetuses, unborn infants, other forms of killings; stealing, maiming, destruction have continued to be used with the advancement in weaponry – weapons of mass destruction (WMD), bombing, IED, laying of land mines, poisoning of large bodies of water, locust-like mindless or purposeless malignity of causing famine of Biblical proportion, now on its way to Nigeria, particularly the Middle Belt, heading down South, already ravaging the North East and North West of Nigeria - through the destruction of crops on massive scales, and afterwards, dispossessing their victims of their ancestral lands as is currently being done in Nigeria.

All these methods were used by both the Arabs and the Turks to take over Constantinople, formerly serving as the capital city of the Roman empire (330-395); the Byzantine empire (395-1204) and (1261–1453); the Crusader State of the former Latin empire (1204-1261) and the Ottoman empire (1453–1923), but now known as Istanbul in Turkey and to the extent that most Christian lands in the East, Asia Minor, including the lands where the seven Churches in the book of Revelation were once located – Ephesus (which is about three kilometres southwest of present-day Selçuk in İzmir Province); Smyrna (İzmir, in Turkey); Thyatira (Turkish city of Akhisar), Pergamum (North West of Bergama in Turkey; Sardis (now Sart in Manisa Province in Turkey); Philadelphia ( Alasehir in Manisa Province, Turkey and Laodicea (Laodikeia near Denizli in Turkey).

Others include North Africa, some countries of ECOWAS, Ilorin, Jos, North Central, Zango Kataf, Kafanchan, Jemaa and most parts of today’s Northern Nigeria, inhabited hitherto by the indigenous people of the Upper Niger, resulting in the extinction of over 250 indigenous languages and cultures.

This purposeless wickedness across centuries is usually followed by the Joseph-like Food Programme (JFP) which is used to force people to convert to Islam in exchange for food.

But will this ever happen in Nigeria?

O yes!

THE GOSPEL OF ZANGOISM ACCORDING TO SAINTS ZAMANI LEKWOT AND YOHANNA MADAKI

“Cattle colony is not a new thing in Nigeria. It has existed long before independence and it is called Zango. Zango has existed in many areas of Yoruba land. Till today, there is Sango Otta, the home country of our former president. Sango is a corruption of Zango.

There is Zangon Kataf in Zonkwa, Kaduna State. When the Fulani's came there, they did not tell the natives that they were coming to settle. They just asked for a small land by the market as shed to sell cattle. This was granted them.

The Fulani's soon gained entrance into Kafanchan town and before long, they turbanned one of themselves and addressed him, Emir of Jemaa. Jemaa in Hausa means, ALL. When the natives raised eye brow, they said the empire was going to be their own king, not the Kafanchan people.

During the military, the Southern Kaduna people got a local government with the name, Jemaa Local Government. Later, Zonkwa got a separate local government and the local government was named Zangon Kataf Local Government.

The emir of Jemaa got a first class stool and the entire Southern Kaduna became tribute paying enclave of the Zazzau emirate. The cunning jihad became a success. The Southern Kaduna people were banned from buying or selling commodities in Zangon Kataf local government save for what the Fulani's permitted.

In the process, burukutu and pork meat were outlawed. The protest to regain the market from the Fulani became the greatest Zangon Kataf crises that consumed many southern Kaduna lives leading to the arrest and unlawful imprisonment of the most prominent Kataf son, General Zamani Lekwot and many other Christian leaders.

The people of Ilorin cannot tell their story as Kwara State without their Fulani Emir in a Yoruba speaking state. So is the Emir of Muri in Jalingo who was deposed leading to the forceful and untimely retirement as well as removal from office of governor of Col. Yohanna Madaki.

The Fulanis have history of claiming wherever they had Zango as their own territory and from there begin expansion by bringing more Fulanis from Niger, Chad and Senegal. The sole aim is to drive away all other tribes from Nigeria or waste their lives and take over the land.

When NTA broadcasted for several weeks that one Alhaji Maikudi founded Makurdi, they are most probably talking of a Zango by River Benue. Anywhere they stayed, the first Fulani to enter the town is the founder of that Zango and wherever they had Zango, they will host a Fodio flag for occupation.

Those states opening up colonies or new Zangos for Fulani do not know what they are doing because in no time, they will get an Emir and Fulani will claim the whole state as their own. For so long as Nigeria permit voting Fulani to be their president, federal monetary allocations will be made to buy more arms for Fulani to come from Agades and other desert places in Africa to come and live in their new colonies and begin fresh ethnic cleansing.”

MUHAMMADU BUHARI’S FIRST, SECOND AND THE THIRD INTIFADA AND THE FUTURE OF NIGERIA – GLIMPSES OF THE FEATURES OF THE FUTURE OF NIGERIA

Soon and very soon too, and it will be worse when this generation is no more – starting from the next five years ahead and more so when the evil seeds (tares) which will spark off the REAL RELIGIOUS WAR in Nigeria as Rehoboam Muhammadu Buhari is busy and desperately as a man running after Noah’s Ark has been planting such seeds he had gotten from the BLACKNESS OF DARKNESS from his ancestors and laying the foundation of such a religious war which will make any that had taken place in the East or in a any Arab/Islamic nations a child’s play, especially, Lebanon, Syria and Yemen and it will be apocalyptic in nature!

THE CHICHIDODO’S INTELLECTUAL LILLIPUTIANISM AND HIS 43 WILLING TOOLS

The world knows Sheikh jihadi Muhammadu Rehoboam Buhari has life-threatening health condition, but what it does not know is that the Khalifa suffers from acute intellectual desertification and aridity resulting in the fossilization of his brain which explains his fear to go and knock at the ivory tower doors, those of the business community, industry, the private sector generally, and the professions to hire the right men and women to think for him and get the job done. Thus, by my reckoning, the DAURA RECRUITMENT AGENCY (DRA) and its CEO are the worst on the planet earth – about high time its CEO got out of the way and the agency wound up!
