"A recent survey by Open Doors titled: CRUSHED BUT NOT DEFEATED: The Impact of Persistent Violence on the Church in Nothern Nigeria shows that between 2006 and 2014 between 9,000 and 11,500 Christians had been killed. That survey also, reveals that more than a million had been affected, with many driven from their homes and 13,000 churches had been destroyed or abandoned."

CABAL: MYTH OR REALITY

DIASPORA NOTE TO THE DOUBTING THOMASES

It is a thing of great lamentation to to read Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Coordinating Acting President (CAP), Oluleke Osinbajo displaying gross naivety and total ignorance, describing the existence of the cabals at the Presidency and by extension, in the entire polity as a myth, so non-existent.

It is certainly a season of mind-boggling cash hauls in Nigeria. Thanks to a Whistle Blower, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, recently unraveled a staggering $43.4 million (about N14 billion) warehoused inside the infamous ‘’Apartment 7B’’ at Osborne Towers, Ikoyi, Lagos. Prior to the #IkoyiGate cash haul, the EFCC also uncovered bundles of naira notes totaling about N450 Million inside ‘Ghana-must-go’ bags at shop LS64 Legico Plaza, Nigerian Air force Camp, Victoria Island, Lagos State. A whopping $9.8 million (about N3 billion) was also recovered from the former Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, Mr. Andrew Laah Yakubu, on February 3, 2017; while N250 million was hauled from the popular Balogun Market, also in Lagos. Not forgetting the N49 million cash that was reclaimed by the EFCC at the Kaduna Airport a while ago. The federal government also submits that $151 million (N46 billion) was seized from a fake account in an unnamed commercial bank. All in all the Nigerian government brags that thanks to the whistleblowing policy, at the conservative parallel market rate of N306 to the US dollar, the least value of the humongous cash so far confiscated amounts to N73 billion in the last four months (December 22, 2016 to April 2017). Whistleblowing is undoubtedly the trending buzzword in Nigeria. As a matter of fact, the policy recently led to the discovery of counterfeit and unregistered products worth over N200 million in Ota, Ogun State by the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC).

BUT WHO REALLY ARE THE CABALS?

And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. Matt 24:12

“What passes for the Nigerian nation is nothing more than a tragic arena, and Yar‘Adua is only the latest tragic figure. The vampires, including those within his own family, turned him into a mere inert resource for their diabolical schemes. They have a reckoning with their conscience, assuming they know what the word means. One can only hope that, while mouthing sanctimonious platitudes such as ‘Power belongs to God,’ they have now learned that the politics of Do-or-Die cannot guarantee who does and who dies. They must stop playing God. I pray for the repose of the soul of their latest, much abused innocent victim." - Professor Wole Soyinka.
