BREAKING!!! Tompolo: We’ll help US Fulfill its Prediction on Nig, N. Delta Militants Spit Fire
Twelve Niger Delta militants known as ex agitators met on Thursday
concerning the invitation by the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC) to one of their leaders Government Tompolo.
In a press statement which was signed by a foremost militant Mr. Egbesu
Mightier Fraternity, the group warned the Federal Government will ‘get
what they want’ should they continue to toe the path of harassing their leaders.
They issued a cease and desist order threatening Nigeria’s strategic oil
interests and hinting that any attacks on Oil facilities will make
things worse for Nigeria in the light of the recent decline in oil
prices.
“With oil prices slipping below 40 dollars a barrel, if the
government of President Buhari is willing, we will help to reduce its
price of barrel to 15 dollars.
Nigeria will collapse under the watch of All Progressive Congress
(APC) and President Muhammadu Buhari as we will do everything necessary
to actualize the American prediction“.
“The silence in the region is a legacy of former President Umaru Musa
Yar’Adua should not be thrown away on the altar of vindictiveness. The
government should thread with caution and wisdom by ensuring that
anything capable of provoking anger in the region is avoided or else
every region shall maintain their respective resources because the money
belongs to the people of the region and not APC and Buhari government“.
God willing, we’ll not stop the agitation for total implementation of Sharia in the country – Buhari
IN 2001 at an Islamic seminar in Kaduna, Buhari was given an
opportunity to choose between Nigeria’s secularism and fundamentalist
Islam, this is what he said; “I will continue to show openly and inside me the total commitment to the Sharia movement
that is sweeping all over Nigeria”, he then added that; “God willing,
we will not stop the agitation for the total implementation of the
Sharia in the country”.Buhari an advocate of sharia was chosen to
address that seminar in Kaduna because of his advocacy and he did not
disappoint because he is one of the boardroom voices of Sharia.
The boardroom advocates emboldened the weak minded and impressionable
youths and female suicide bombers. Those who prepare such extremist
point to such “moral exemplars” that dying for Sharia is a worthy
cause. It does not matter if one is campaigning by selling democracy to
unsuspecting non-Muslims like a salesman selling snake-oil, they all
have a common goal but different modus operandi. The boardroom voices,
the elite prepare breeding ground for the field-soldiers, they prepare
the ideological diet upon which the adherents feed.
Today many Nigerians are concerned that our society has degenerated
to a point where people wake up on a particular day and go to public
places like a market to kill their neighbours with bombs. But these
bombers did not just wake up one day to take such a fatalistic decision.
The suicide bomber dies for a cause after a lengthy ideological and
psychological diet . A cause he or she has been made to believe to be a
worthy cause, It is immaterial that the suicide bomber has chosen a
course of action different from the other advocates of the cause, but
they have similar objectives, to spread Sharia to every corner of
Nigeria, and in that goal, Boko Haram and other fundamentalists have
many elite who have created a breeding ground for their actions in
Nigeria.
Other elite
voice who have helped to ensure the social and political mobilization
against Nigeria’s secular status, and who create a breeding ground for
groups like Boko Haram include, former governor Kure of Kaduna state who
was also in the same Kaduna seminar with Buhari. At the aforementioned
seminar, the then Governor Kure urged all council members to ensure that
the Nigerian constitution was “upgraded” in all states to ensure that
the basic objectives of the Sharia legal code was achieved all over
Nigeria. He gained the support of other elite such as former minister
of Agriculture, Alhaji Sani Zango Daura, as well as emir of Suleja,
Alhaji Awwal Ibrahim, who refused to pay a condolence visit to the
Suleja church that was bombed by Boko Haram on a Christmas day until
political pressure was put on him.
These boardroom voices of sharia have not concealed their position.
It is only other Nigerians who have tried to polish their position to
make it an acceptable perception for political convenience, but the
advocates for the spread of sharia to every facet of Nigerian life have
never disguise their goal. For instance, a very notable advocate of
Sharia, Senator Sani Yerima, former governor of Zamfara state, robustly
defended his advocacy and had the support of several other elite with
similar conviction in the Senate when the status of women was being
debated. To make his sharia values clear, Yerima who had earlier
defended his marriage to a 13 year old in contradiction of Section 21
of the Child Welfare Act told the Senate that, when a woman is married
at whatever age even at 11years, she instantaneously reaches the full
age of adulthood. This is not very different from recent laws purveyed
by ISIL which justified enslavement of girls, including their defilement
if they are non-Muslim captives.
This is the type of ideological commitment that Buhari will bring to
the presidency if voted in. It is quite easy to state on television and
radio interviews that he is bound by Nigerian laws as if its only when
he occupies the office of the presidency that he will be bound by the
law of the land. When he becomes head of state who will be there at
those quite moments when this values influence his decisions on official
matters? He has made his ideological position quite clear when he
stated in the Kaduna seminar that the spread of Sharia is ‘’a legal
responsibility which God has given us, within the context of one Nigeria
to continue to uphold the practice of Sharia wholeheartedly and to
educate non-Muslims, what remains for muslims in Nigeria is for them to
redouble their efforts,educate muslims on the need to promote the full
implementation of sharia law”Buhari has made his advocacy for sharia
clear, those who wish to vote him to power can either accept it or
pretend that it does not matter, just as those who said naively that
Yerima was harmless later expresed shock when he eventually stopped the
Senate from reviewing our laws on the legal age of a woman and we are
today stuck with his sharia version.
As Boko Haram has demonstrated viciousness, so shall we will come to
find that Buhari, a promoter and advocate of Sharia as president of the
federal government of Nigeria would direct the thinking of his
adherents and their attitude to governance. This would spell doom for
all non muslims in Nigeria that Gen.Buhari said should be educated to
accept and embrace sharia now being enforced by Boko Haram through
violence and killings.
