I have decided to be quiet for a long time over any issue regarding Nigeria, its stunted, thorn and thistle democracy, its hapless, hopeless and disoriented citizenry; and even about its quack politicians – the psychopaths and sociopaths, the cultic denizens who parade the social- political landscape like demagogues who are miscalled by the name of leaders. Something however broke and ruptured my silence.
Things have been going wrong of late. Strange things have been happening of late and stranger things are happening still. How many do I count? Of soldiers, officers and general being gunned down by terrorists? Of terrorists boasting that the government was lying and showing off the military equipments they have captured? Of revelations by a dismissed soldier that men of the Armed Forces buy their own boots and uniforms? That the Army with the highest number of retired generals had no tool kit for his soldiers and many of them go to battle against the terrorists in slippers? Of an Air Force that for ten different times has continuously bombed heavily populated areas rather than terrorists in the forest; and each time the Army denies it…
The list is endless.
But these are not the reasons why I am breaking my silence. It is for something far worse and for which I have severally warned this nation and especially the indigenous communities.
Several people have posted to me and to the different social platforms I belong the very disturbing, traumatic and traumatizing video of a University of Jos student who was kidnapped on the way to Kaduna and beaten to the point of stupor and without mercy. They are asking for 30 million naira for his release. This is after denying his Faith under torture.
Several people have told me how traumatized they are watching the video. A lady was so scared and she sent it to me asking for my opinion. It is for her sake I am writing this because I have nothing more to say to Nigerian people or even Nigerian Christianity other than what I have already said.
Let me now say some things I haven’t previously said in plain language and without any ambiguity or sugarcoating.
Someone asked, “How can a single tribe be so powerful like this?” That is the problem. Many of you ask the wrong questions because you don’t really understand and you have not learned how to think coherently. It is not about power. The Fulani is not more powerful than any other tribe but other tribes are foolish, dumb, and dense and that is why this madness has festered and continued till today.
Let me now talk about the terrorists or bandits. We cannot speak evil of any tribe because there are enough good and bad people in every tribe. But we can speak about a group who have made their choice as enemies of society and risen against the rest of civilized Humanity.
You are dealing with beasts, not humans. Anyone who could subject another human being to that horrific torture and pain just for reasons that he is not of your tribe and religion is not human. I can cite several cases and examples to buttress the fact that the humanity of these crooks in the forests is questionable.
* A victim gave birth to twins under their watch, they fed the baby to beast. It was reported in your newspapers. Is that human?
* A couple was kidnapped and after they collected all the ransom they could get, they still killed the couple. Is that human?
* A whole family was kidnapped and when the ransom wasn’t coming on time they killed one of the daughters right in the presence of father and mother and asked him to move fast. Is that human?
* One terrorist just confessed that he has killed over 100 and raped several women who are unfortunate to be born in Nigeria and he is being “rehabilitated”. Who is rehabilitating the victims of his plunder and numerous atrocities?
* Another terrorist kingpin confessed to a foreign journalist of BBC that he drinks the blood of his victims….
Need I go on? These are the beasts clothed in human skin that your government – the beast system miscalled by the name of government – is pampering, claiming to rehabilitate and deradicalise – the same monster that APC brought upon this nation and which has festered under their watch and now burgeoned to unmanageable levels due to their tardiness, gross incompetence, lack of political will and general maladministration.
They speak of them with sympathy, with respect and even with readiness to forgiveness except their victims. These are the ones your politicians call the “gentlemen in the forest”, “repentant terrorists”, “prodigal sons” who could return home… Even your officials often give themselves away that they are not willing to fight or maim them. The other day the Minister of State publicly declared that the bombs cannot penetrate the forest and the army Chief too has said that they must give them benefits of repentance like the prodigal son…
And when the Air Force out of international pressure had to show some drama to give the impression that they are fighting it is not the beasts they bomb but the long-suffering Nigerians – the same victims of terror and banditry that a sane and responsible Army is supposed to protect.
That is how you know there is betrayal at the highest level. That is how you know there is conspiracy against you. The terrorists themselves have declared publicly that the government knows where they are. So why is the government not going after them? The same government that monitors phone conversations of protesters and apprehend their leaders before they act could not intercept the many phone conversations between these beasts and their victims when demanding for ransom.
Here is what your scholars don’t know because it is beyond the tools of their training and they can’t make sense of it. You are not running a government in Nigeria, you are running a Beast System. That is why there is more sympathy for these beasts in the forest than for the human victims at home. That is why every system and arrangement is designed to frustrate the law- abiding citizen and help the criminal elements. That is why your criminal legal system is designed to frustrate justice rather than to dispense it. That is how a beast system runs.
A man has been kidnapped twice by the bandits each time paying ransom. He decided to purchase an AK- 47 weapon to defend himself. He was immediately arrested by the police because he is not supposed to own a weapon. Nigerians system is quick to work when an innocent citizen is involved but tardy and sluggish when criminals are involved.
That is the Nigerian State. In a sane society the law is made for criminals not for a law- abiding citizen. St. Paul said “the law is not made for a righteous man.” He is right. For instance, I do not even know the penalty for murder or the law of murder because I don’t have to know; I am not a felon and won’t ever commit it. The law is not made for a righteous man. Alas, in Nigeria the law is made for the righteous man, to castrate him, disable him and eventually destroy him. The same law officers that are quick to arrest a law- abiding citizen for owning an instrument of self-defense has nothing to say about the bandits, terrorists and even herdsmen who permanently terrorise the citizens with these same instruments. They do not worry about the criminals and terrorists, their worry is the law- abiding citizen. That is not a government, that is a beast system, Ijoba eranko based on the template shown in Revelation 13 of the Bible. The Beast System is loading in Nigeria and you should be worried about it.
This is why the beast rulers who have governed Nigeria till now usually act without mercy, empathy or human affection. They lack feelings. It is not in them. Milk of human kindness is not there. They are of the spirit and generation of Pharaoh. Their hearts are as hard as stone and lack human feelings except what personally benefits and concerns them.
Borno was ravaged by terrorists and bombings and even kidnap of scores of children, Goodluck Jonathan did not step there for a visit. Not once. But when election season came the same Borno he could not reach to symphatise with the people he got the renewed energy and courage to visit and campaign.
When Nigerians were being bombed into pieces at Inyanya, Abuja where was Jonathan? In Kano, on the campaign trail dancing skelewu.
But Jonathan was even better, he at least took correction. When he was rebuked he became pensive, sober and corrected himself unlike today’s demagogues.
When Benue and Plateau were becoming killing fields what did Buhari do? When repeatedly Fulani were incriminated in all the massacres from banditry, terrorism and even herdsmen brigandage what did he do at a time when this problem would have been nipped in the bud if addressed frontally? He became their spokesman defending them and giving all manner of specious reasons even paving the way for all or any Fulani to come and be resident in Nigeria without even passports.
Over 200 people were killed in Plateau State on Christmas Eve in 2023 it did not even merit a mention or sympathy from president Tinubu. Not even an acknowledgement. Over 200 have died in Yelwata in Benue he only visited the state capital and Plateau State got just 10 minutes because there is no light at the airport. Over 176 died in Kwara, Kaiama Local Government and the Vice President – under whose watch as governor the Chibok girls were kidnapped – only visited the state capital and after pleasantries he departed to Abuja.
Igbomina land is presently devastated and people are leaving in droves deserting their land as a result of Fulani assailants. No word from the Authorities, and the incompetent dude of Fulani extraction who governs Kwara who has turned the state to an extension of Caliphate naming the Government House, Sardauna House, does not appear to have any answers because he is part of the problem.
This is not government, this is a beast system. Ijoba Eranko. All over the world we see this system taking shape but in none is this so perfectly entrenched as in Nigeria where citizen contempt is at the highest. Government, real government don’t send condolences, they arrest and punish perpetrators of evils. That is the primary God- ordained purpose of a government – to reward righteousness and punish wickedness. And there is a theological justification for this in all sacred writings. When a system is empowering evil and criminality through ransom payments, when a so- called government is arm- twisting security agencies from fighting but putting obstruction on their parts and instead negotiating with criminals and terrorists – that is not a government, that is a beast system, a consortium of thieves and robbers. To call such a government is to do violence to the English Language.
A system where the officials of government shield killers, terrorists and bandits; where billions are used to “deradicalise” beasts, insensate beasts in human skin while the many victims of their atrocities wallow in squalid IDP camps is not a government; that is a beast system.
This then leads me to the next and most important part of this essay. People often ask, “Is this how things will continue?” Will things go on like this?
Of course the answer is yes. It will go on like that and worse things will happen. In 2018 I warned those of you in Yorubaland who thought you are immuned because it is a Northern affair, that it would soon be your turn. You can Google the essay ( Moses Oludele Idowu, It Will Soon Be Your Turn). Now it is the turn of the Igbomina and part of Oyo State.
Why?
Because the Newtonian proposition actually holds here: everything continues as they are in uniform motion unless acted upon by a force. A rolling stone continues it’s movement in a level surface until he is stopped by a commensurate force. The beasts in the forests killing Nigerians and torturing Nigerians have said repeatedly that they are fighting for a Caliphate, an Islamic Caliphate; that they are following the teachings of their prophet Muhammad. I do not know how else a statement could be clearer. This is the rolling stone moving like a flying fowl across Nigeria gathering cash and weapons preparatory to the final onslaught. It is not persuasion that will stop them; it is not grammar or recourse to rationality. It will take force, equal and even more equal from opposite direction. It will take passion, energy and anger. But you lack these; the eager beavers that presently runs the political squirrel cages powering the beast system in Abuja lack these. Somehow they have some symphaties for their “gentlemen in the forests” because they realize they are fighting for the same goal which their religion allows and even encourage them to fight for and even support.
If any resistance is going to come against these beasts it won’t be from government, it will be from the people themselves.
That is why I said these things will continue and you will see worse things in the days ahead.
Because you lack passion. You have no anger. You are not angry enough to change the situation.
Hear me, all the Fulanis in the forest plus their backers outside and the incompetent government of Nigeria inclusive cannot stop a single tribe that is angry enough, and mad enough for a change. Not even one tribe not to talk of other 350 tribes.
This madness continues because you are not mad enough to counter or stop these things. What is a government? What is an army before a mad people, before an angry people?
There is no government on Earth that can stop a people mad enough for a change and angry enough to stop an idea. Not one. Haven’t you read about revolutions?
But how mad are you for a change in Nigeria? How angry are you at the terrorists wreaking havocs and their officials backers?
ANGER is ENERGY and energy produces passion and fuel to turn motion into Movement. That is how every revolution on Earth has happened. Nigerians today lack these. After posting bad news to several people on social media he is through and that is the end. They move on.
Whatsapp messages won’t move the hearts of beasts who have taken over this nation. Beasts don’t move through noise or messages; these heartless beasts care only for their position, election and power and money not welfare or progress. People motivated by animal greed, people who could steal the entire GDP, if possible, of a nation and sanctified it with religion – a wary religion so loud on peace but is the singular cause of societal disaffection, chaos and bloodshed known to man.
Nigerians have no anger. Their religion has inoculated them against anger so that today Nigerians are not angry again at anything. Modern effete Christianity is a failure. And what else do you expect, what outrage do you expect from a community of faith led by pulpit bandits, occult pastors and G.Os? How do you fight the bandits in the forests when there are bandits on the pulpits calling the shots? Nigeria has become a bandit state.
This is one reason Nigerian Christianity is not a tool for change or revolution. It lacks passion, it is devoid of energy. Its leadership is largely weak, theologically diffident and incompetent, financially compromised, politically and strategically unwise, eschatologically irrelevant, self- satisfied and not forward looking and – for many of them, – compromised with the occult ruling elites.
The Reformers precipitated a revolution in Germany; the Puritans staged a revolution in England and the Sons of Liberty inspired by the preachers of New England like George Whitefield and writings of Tom Paine precipitated a revolution in America…
We do not have such preachers now. We do not have such writers or Christians here. Inoculated and doped into moral insensibilities by prosperity gospel, deadened by false theology on Eschatology, led largely by pulpit bandits a Revolution is not likely from the Church unlike what happened in Poland.
You must look for your salvation elsewhere.
This is why this madness will continue. And be prepared because you will see worse things – just as I warned you years ago. Your enemies have seen your nakedness and they can see there is no coherence among you and your leadership and nothing you can do.
In closing there are now only two things that will end this one- way madness that has been going on in Nigeria for the past decades but especially under APC Government and rulership. ( I am often surprised a broom 🧹 is the symbol of APC, a more fitting symbol should have been the wolf 🐺) [ Not that I am saying that ADC is better or a viable alternative. They are both two putrefying front legs of a four – footed beast.]
In the 12- 13th Centuries there used to be a group of people called Assassins, from whom the word “assassin’s,” “assassination” was first derived. It was a group of people much like Boko Haram, ISWAP Lakurawa etc of today who hid behind mountains and forests to rape, murder and commit all manner of felony, atrocities against the people. It was a sect in Islam operating on Alamut mountain in Northern Persia.The word “assasin” was first addressed to Muslim sect. ( So you see Islam has been associated with terror, murderers, terrorists, killers for countless years; it is not new) That is why you should study History; don’t merely read it, study it.
The day came the people decided “enough is enough.” Led by the no nonsense Mongols they mobilized and swopped on the Mountain Alamut and other mountains from every direction and anyone they caught was subjected to the same pain and anguish the group subjected others. A person is not deserving of mercy who has shown no mercy to his victims. Deradicalisation is a fraud.
They were hunted, killed, eliminated, and wiped out. That is why you didn’t hear their story and why you don’t know this history. They were brutally eliminated. The authorities of that day didn’t negotiate with them, they didn’t pay them ransom; they confronted them and eliminated them, root and branch. That is why you have to search thick and voluminous history books to even know of them. They were not like the Nigerian politicians powering the beast system running in Nigeria.
It takes madness to cure madness. It takes energy to stop and swallow energy. That is why in the hospitals they will tell you to go and eat before they give you drugs or injection. It takes energy to confront energy. Nigeria is like this because madness exist only on one side and in one tribe and religion; the others are cowards, nincompoops waiting for God and government to bail them out. When you are ready you will put a stop to this thing yourself. When you are mad enough and you generate sufficient ANGER and when anger converts to energy then you are ready to fly. Just as mechanical energy must be converted to chemical energy to generate the required upthrust for the plane to ascend and mount up from the ground.
It is not hard.
It is easy.
Nigeria’s problems can be solved if you focus your energy, youthful energy in one direction rather than diffusing it in meaningless directions and unproductive ventures. Your politicians are not even smart and they are not sound either. If you are passionate enough you can handle them.
This is the first way.
The second is out of reach of us. That is the way of Early Christianity. How did Christianity overcome the Roman Empire without firing a shot or carrying any weapon? By maintaining a different spirit other than what Rome possessed. That is out of reach for this generation. I should not even go there. The kind of contemporary Christianity that I see in this nation is so decadent and entrenched in the world to generate such type of Spirit.
Thus only the first option is available and accessible.
In closing, nothing happens until it is made to happen. People are waiting for God when God has given the Earth to the children of men. As long as you can permit these things to happen they will continue to happen. The day you decide it is enough Heaven will come to your aid to put a stop to it.
That is how it works. Don’t just complain, act. Don’t just share posts do something. Take position. Act. Do something. Form a Movement. Collaborate. Synergise. Share ideas.
Form a militia. Defend your community. If you run they will come and settle there and that is a problem for your children in future. Get weapons wherever you can get them and where your assailants get them. George Washington’s militia got and hid their weapons till the appointed day and then they confronted and defeated the strongest Army on Earth.
Resist.
Fight.
Confront.
Enough of being afraid of a law that cannot protect you. “In a state of lawlessness it is criminal to be law abiding” – Fidel Castro.
Washington defeated the strongest army in the world with his militia. They were inspired by the writings of Tom Paine and other pamphlets.
Enough of sharing posts of atrocities,what are you doing to stop them? Forget about government for now; what you have and what is running is more of a beast system rather than a functioning Government. Take your minds off the Army or Police, they are compromised and they need much prayers and help to avert a mutiny within their ranks. They need help too. Didn’t you read of a civilian rescuing a police officer recently? That is where we now are!
The fish has caught the fisherman
The deliverer is now in need of deliverance; and a problem solver has become a problem to be solved.
Your destiny is always in your hands. Stop waiting for God, stop throwing your responsibility on God. He is waiting for you instead.
Act now or perish one by one.
“The heavens of heavens are the Lord’s; the Earth he has given to the children of men.”
Sons and Daughters of Nigeria, ARISE.
Take action.
