In
this compelling piece, former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi
Fani-Kayode has blasted the Governor of Kaduna state, Nasir El-Rufai
over the killings in Southern Kaduna.
Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State
"Not a single soul has been prosecuted, let alone jailed for
the genocide in Southern Kaduna and you are blaming someone for
preaching self defense? You are INSANE. Yes, INSANE"- Olufemi Korode, Twitter, 24th January 2017.
Can anyone dispute the fact that Mr. Korode is right? Are those
that say that Christians should not defend themselves or complain when
they are being slaughtered not completely insane?
The truth is that had it not been for the fact that eight more
innocent and defenceless people were butchered by Fulani militants in
Samaru Kataf, Southern Kaduna on 17th January, that six young students
of the College of Education, Gidan Waya, Southern Kaduna were massacred
on 23rd January and that twenty innocent souls, including women and
children, were slaughtered by the same pack of beastly savages in the
village of Ohimini in Benue state on that same day I may not have
written this piece.
Yet I am constrained to do so because the animals in human flesh
and Islamist demons that are on the rampage in Kaduna state and indeed
all over the country have not satisfied their lust for Christian blood
and their carnage persists. As a matter of fact the cancer is spreading.
When you add the thirty four that were murdered in the last few
days to the 808 innocent souls that were killed by the same creatures on
Christmas eve and Christmas day you cannot come to any other conclusion
than the fact that this is genocide and that it is time to resist it.
Unfortunately some do not wish to hear that. They would prefer the
people of Southern Kaduna to continue to be the sacrificial lambs that
they have always been. Permit me to share just one example of their
mindset here.
In reaction to the suggestion that the people of Southern Kaduna
ought to defend themselves from mass murder and genocide given the fact
that the state government has refused to protect them, Mallam Uba Sani, a
four foot dwarf and the political advisor to Kaduna state's dimunitive
Midget-in-Chief, Governor Nasir El Rufai, wrote the following in Thisday
and a number of other newspapers:
''The greatest challenge to peace in Kaduna State now is the
antics of political jobbers and opportunists who have gone as low as
spreading hate speeches; telling communities in Kaduna State to “defend
themselves.”
This, of course, is an unmistakable call on the people of
Kaduna State to procure arms and ammunitions and start killing
themselves. This is not just very low but extremely dangerous. This call
on the citizenry to take the laws into their own hands totally
undermines all on-going efforts to achieve lasting peace in Kaduna
State.''
These are strong words from the dwarf who appears to be expressing
the frustration, angst and cold rage of his employer, the Chief Midget.
Instead of showing remorse for their woeful failures and begging
for forgiveness for the oceans of innocent blood that has been shed
under their watch, the government of Kaduna State is lashing out at
those of us that have called them out and that are deeply concerned
about the annihilation and decimation of human life and sheer carnage
that is taking place in Southern Kaduna.
The dwarf pours scorn on the suggestion that a man should protect
his family, loved ones and home from cold-blooded murderers who are
attempting to maim and kill them.
He is suggesting that the people of Southern Kaduna should keep
quiet, fold their arms and happily welcome, with a warm smile, those
that have come to rape their wives, slaughter their children, burn their
homes, wipe out their faith and possess their land. Is that how to make
Kaduna great again?
Is that how to get back to the glorious days of Abubakar 'Dangiwa'
Umar, Ahmed Makarfi and Patrick Yakowa when Kaduna state was presided
over by men of substance and character.
Is that the way to get back to the days when Kaduna state was
blessed with kind and compassiomate governors who were balanced, mature,
sensitive, caring, gentle, cosmopolitan, inclusive and fair to all
regardless of faith, tribe or ethnic nationality?
Is that how to get back to the peaceful days of Kaduna when those
of us that play polo used to look forward to going there to play a few
chukkas at the annual Kaduna Polo tournament?
Is that how to get back to the days when Kaduna was one of the best places to live in or visit in the country?
I doubt it very much. The truth is that nothing could be more
insensitive, irresponsible, callous and utterly absurd than the dwarf's
counsel and suggestion.
If that is the kind of advice that the midget has been getting from
his aides and advisors ever since he was elected as governor one needs
to look no further to know why he has failed so woefully.
Under his watch Kaduna state has become more divided than it has
ever been in its entire history and the pungent smell and rotten stench
of fresh human blood and fly-infested bloated corpses fills the air.
That is the shameful legacy that the midget and his dwarf are desperately trying to white-wash and defend.
Instead of going on their knees and begging God, the Christian
community, the Shiite Muslims and the Nigerian people for forgiveness
for what can, at best, be described as their irresponsible, incompetent
and criminally negligent behaviour and, at worse, their willfull and
premeditated attempt to wipe out, exterminate and cleanse the land of
the entire Christian community and every ethnic and religious minority
group in Southern Kaduna and Zaria, they are throwing bricks at their
perceived enemies and flying into childish tantrums.
The dwarf spoke of "political jobbers" and "oppprtunists". One
wonders just who they are? Again one wonders precisely what the "ongoing
efforts to achieve lasting peace in Kaduna" that he mentioned are given
the fact that his boss the midget does not appear to give a damn about
the fact that thousands of innocent and defenceless people, including
women and children, have been butchered during his watch and right under
his nose.
At the end of 2015 over 1000 Shiite Muslims were slaughtered in
cold blood and buried in mass graves by the Nigerian Army in Zaria,
Kaduna state. Many Shiites have accused the midget of covertly playing a
sordid and questionable role in the whole affair and when one hears the
facts one cannot blame them.
For example is it true that it was he that fingered Sheik Ibrahim
El Zak Zaky, the Shiite leader, by phoning him and ascertaining his
whereabouts for the military before they tracked him down, shelled, shot
and murdered hundreds of his people in the sanctity of their homes and
proceeded to shoot him and his gentle Yoruba wife in the eye and stomach
before whisking them both away.
Since that time they have kept both husband and wife incommunicado
and in detention despite court orders to release them. One wonders what
efforts the midget has made to get them out?
One wonders why he, a Sunni Muslim, hates the Shiite so much? One
wonders why he has been tormenting, arresting, persecuting, outlawing,
proscribing and locking them up ever since their leaders arrest even
though they have never sought to harm or attack anyone?
Another example of the sheer depravity of this man was provided approximately one month ago over the Christmas holiday.
On Christmas eve and Christmas day alone, according to the
Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), no less that 808 Christians were
killed by the midget's friends and brothers, the Fulani militia (aka
herdsmen), in Southern Kaduna.
The midget and his government provided security and enforced a
curfew in the Muslim areas of the state but they refused to do the same
for Southern Kaduna which is Christian. Consequently the Fulani militia
not only struck but they struck very hard indeed leaving nothing but
death and destruction in their path.
Evidently the Chief Midget and his government are more interested
in insulting, undermining, discrediting and threatening with arrest its
critics and those that have expressed outrage about what the people of
Southern Kaduna have been subjected to under his watch than in
protecting and saving innocent Christian lives.
One wonders why he hates Christians so much to the extent that the
only hospital in the relevant Christian community was shut down by his
government on the days that the attacks took place in order to ensure
that the wounded could not be treated and that as many Christians
suffered casualties and died as possible.
Is the midget not vicariously liable and criminally culpable for
those deaths even if he did not take part in the attacks himself? What
is the source of and reason for his hatred for our Christian brothers
and sisters? Are they not human beings as well? Are they not worthy of
life? Do they not deserve to be protected?
These questions must be answered whether they like it or not. Yet
instead of doing so they are spewing out more and more garbage by the
day.
For example in his essay the midget's dwarf went even further by
saying that "a Yoruba ex- Minister who should know better" and who is "being sponsored" held a series of meetings in his Abuja home with various delegations from Southern Kaduna where they planned how to effect "a violent attack on others" in Kaduna state.
Though he did not have the courage to mention the name of that
Yoruba ex-Minister it is obvious that the dwarf was referring to yours
truly.
As a rule I do not respond to hired help and the aides of public
office holders no matter how short they are because they are too small
for me. This is especially so when they are stunted not just in physical
growth but also in mental capacity.
When the midget himself dares to open his mouth and talk rubbish I
will give him the full measure of my pen and tongue but I cannot bring
myself to the very low level of joining issues with a frustrated dwarf
or any of the other hired guns of an embittered and drowning midget.
What I will say to the dwarf however is this. If it was me that he
was accusing of having meetings in my Abuja home with various
delegations from Southern Kaduna he is absolutely right.
I have many friends in and from Southern Kaduna from both the
Shiite Muslim and Christian community who deemed it necessary to pay me a
visit in Abuja over the Christmas holidays and tell me about the
genocide that they were being subjected to by the Fulani Janjaweed
terrorists and military forces, with the full support and knowledge of
the midget-in-chief.
I was proud to host them and I will continue to do so whether the little dwarf and his paymaster likes it or not.
I should also mention the fact that at no time did I discuss any
violent attack on the Fulani or anyone else in Kaduna state with any of
them though I told them plainly that if the government failed in its
duty to protect them they must go ahead and defend themselves.
That is my view and it will always be my view and I will continue to share it with whoever I deem fit.
For this counsel I have no apology. If it gives the midget
governnor and his little dwarf sleepless nights that the people of
Southern Kaduna will no longer sit back and allow their loved ones to be
slaughtered by their Fulani friends and kinsmen that is their problem.
For all I care they can go and hug a transformer or jump in the lagoon.
(TO BE CONTINUED).
