When President Muhammadu Buhari arrived in the United Kingdom in
preparation for the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting, Archbishop
Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Cantetbury and the presiding Bishop of the
Church of England, who dutifully sat at his bedside when he was critically
ill last year and who has assumed the role of his beloved second wife,
said the following:
“Mr. President, you have my best wishes on your recent decision. I read
your declaration speech. We are neutral as a Church but we will pray for
you. Great statesmen are those who run for the good of their country. We
will be praying for you”.
There is no question in my mind that Welby is Buhari’s new-found bride.
As I said in an earlier contribution, it is clear to me that this
‘same-sex-marriage-loving’ and confused English Archbishop deserves to be
hung, drawn, quartered and burnt at the stake!
He says he will be praying for a blood-lusting and tyrannical monster that
has inflicted nothing but pain and hardship on the Nigerian people.
What on earth have we done to Justin Welby to deserve this disdain,
contempt, insult and mockery? Would he pray that such a creature should
preside over the affairs of his Great Britain?
Does Justin know who and what his husband really is and what he has done?
Does he even care to do the research and find out?
Has the blood of the Christian martyrs and saints that has been shed over
the last three years in Nigeria not moved or touched the heart of this
so-called Archbishop?
Has he lost all sense of decency and compassion and has the milk of human
kindness stopped flowing in his veins?
Has he stopped hearing from God or is he just rebellious and defiant to
the leading of the Spirit and the voice of the Lord? As a matter of fact
did he EVER hear from God?
When a senior cleric espouses a cold-blooded and merciless demoniac it
gives cause for concern. When a shepherd encourages and endorses the
bestial atrocities of an insatiable wolf that takes pleasure in devouring
his sheep it is an abomination.
Since when did the Church of England and the Archbishop of Canterbury sink
so low?
You are associating with a tyrant who is in open collusion and
collaboration with Fulani herdsmen and Boko Haram and who has presided
over, orchestrated and encouraged the mass murder and slaughter of
hundreds of thousands of his own people.
This is a man who has refused to label the Fulani herdsmen terrorists and
who has publicly identified with some of the core values of Boko Haram and
defended them on numerous occasions over the years.
You say that you are neutral as a Church yet you keep having photo-ops and
closed-door meetings with the tyrant and you refuse to condemn him for his
gross and barbaric human rights violations, his attacks on and
marginalisation of adherents of the Christian faith, his contempt for the
Church and his hatred for non-Muslims and non-Fulanis. I say shame on you!
The attempt by the British government and intelligence agencies, using a
discredited and out of touch ‘same-sex-marriage-loving’ Archbishop Justin
Welby, to help to prop up and legitimise a failed tyrant, an ethnic
cleanser and a genocidal maniac who hates and kills non-Fulanis, Shia
Muslims, IPOB youths and Christians, will fail.
Permit me to go further by putting the following questions to the Archbishop.
How can you possibly know who your real friends in Nigeria are or who and
what your husband really is when you didn’t even know who your real father
was until two years ago?
How can you possibly recognise the fact that entering into intimate
relations and deep fraternity with a man whose hands are soaked in blood
and who delights in indulging in wickedness and injustice is anti-Christ
and ungodly when you preside over a Church that encourages and administers
same-sex marriages and that believes that being gay is a virtue?
Is it any wonder that many Anglican denominations all over the world,
including Nigeria and Africa, severed ties with and renounced the English
branch of the Anglican Church over ten years ago because of your love for
homosexuals and gay marriage and other grave doctrinal violations of the
Holy Scriptures?
I have nothing but contempt for your weakness and inability to preserve
and protect the gospel and true teachings and beliefs of Our Lord and
Saviour Jesus Christ and I view you as nothing but a compromised and
corrupted hell-bound soul.
Your love for your husband Buhari does not surprise me. I am aware that it
has always been so since his days at PTF.
I do not expect any better from you because I know how flawed,
insensitive, seedy, irresponsible, detached, out of touch with reality and
compromised you really are but because of your station in the Church and
reverred calling others may well do. Consequently I am constrained to put
the following questions to you.
Have you asked the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) what they and
the 120 million Christians that they represent have been going through
since your husband came to power?
Do you know how many Christians are killed on a daily basis in Nigeria by
security forces and state-sponsored Fulani jihadist militias?
Have you asked the Anglican Communion in Nigeria what Christians have been
going through in our country under your husband?

Evangelicals, the Pentecostals, the Cherubim and Seraphim, the Apostolic
Church, CAC, ECWA, COCIN or any other Christian denomination in Nigeria
what their members have witnessed over the last three years?
Have you sought the counsel of the National Christian Elders Forum (NCEF)
and found out from them precisely what the overall objective and long-term
plans of your husband’s government is for Christians in Nigeria and how
his greatest desire is to islamise our nation through a process that they
have aptly described as “stealth jihad”?
Have you read the excellent article titled “Nigeria and State Complicity
With Terrorists” by the British security analyst Dr. Ann McGregor which
makes a compelling case about the collusion and strong collaboration that
exists between the Buhari government and the Al Barnawi-faction of Boko
Haram?

intelligence agencies and in the Armed Forces in Nigeria?

intelligence agencies in Nigeria and every branch of the Nigerian Armed
Forces except for the Navy is headed by a northern Muslim?

Security Advisor, a reasonable, moderate, civilised, urbane, cosmopolitan,

whose only crimes are that he served President Goodluck Jonathan
diligently and that he presents a credible and potent threat to your
husbands tyrannical government and 2019 ambitions?

undeclared war and that thousands of people are slaughtered by your
husband’s Fulani herdsmen every day?
Do you know how much suffering and havoc he has unleashed in our land and
how much he has tormented our people?
The truth is that your marriage to Buhari sickens. By entering into this
ungodly union you have betrayed your calling as a priest and you turned
your back on the whole of Christiandom.
You have also spat on the graves of hundreds of thousands of believers
that your husband has murdered over the last three years.
You have defecated on the memories and the sacrifice of the martyrs and
pissed all over the holy scrlptures that constrains us to stand up against
tyrants and bullies, to speak up for the oppressed, the weak, the
persecuted, the poor, the falsely accused and the righteous, to fight
against injustice and tyranny and to resist evil.
Like Macbeth you have murdered sleep, you shall sleep no more and your
wickedness shall come back to haunt you.
You should bow your head in shame and ask God for forgiveness.
I advise you to file divorce papers against Buhari, terminate your ungodly
marriage to him and find yourself a new husband.
Finally consider this.
President Donald Trump broke the news to the world that American, British
and French jets were on their way to bomb Syria on the morning of 14th
April he asked the following question:
“To Iran and to Russia, I ask: What kind of a nation wants to be
associated with the mass murder of innocent men, women and children?”
I put the same question to Archbishop Justin Welby and all those that
share his unnatural affection, love and support for President Muhammadu
Buhari today by asking,
“What kind of a man wants to be associated with the mass murder of
innocent men, women and children?”
