Not because, like<br \/>\nall other countries, we do not have criminals, but because our President,<br \/>\nlike our Information minister is paid to be our chief image maker. It is<br \/>\ndisheartening to make such statements about my country, but I have to<br \/>\nconsidering the reality. And as a free soldier, I am not paid to protect<br \/>\nour image.<\/p>\n<p>It has been over two months since the Zaria massacre. The Islamic movement<br \/>\nhas released a list of 705 missing human beings. 200 citizens of our<br \/>\nbarbaric country have been detained extrajudicially since the massacre and<br \/>\nare now being framed. Parents do not know where their children are and<br \/>\nbreadwinners are either detained or dead and secretly mass-buried, leaving<br \/>\nchildren without a clue where their parents are. And Nigerians continue to<br \/>\ngo about their business like all is OK. Nigeria is indeed a nation of<br \/>\nbarbarians. No regular human beings will watch such monstrous injustice and<br \/>\nbe easy and indifferent to it.<\/p>\n<p>I am not a Shia Muslim, nor a Sunni Muslim. I am a human being. What<br \/>\nhappened and continues to happen to the Nigerian citizens in Zaria is an<br \/>\nabomination. Boko Haram did not kill 45,000 Nigerians (according to CFR<br \/>\nfigures) by accident. The success of terror in Nigeria is a result of our<br \/>\nbeing barbarians. We watched as Boko Haram bombed Churches, then we watched<br \/>\nas Boko Haram killed all and sundry because we are barbaric. We did not<br \/>\nrise up against Boko Haram. We played politics with the terror on both<br \/>\nsides of the isle as our animal nature permeated. We are not interested in<br \/>\ngoing after the sponsors of Boko Haram because we love them.<\/p>\n<p>Taiwo Ogundipe in the Nation newspaper revealed in 2012 that Boko Haram<br \/>\nreceived funds from Saudi Arabia, from Governor Ibrahim Shekarau and<br \/>\ngovernor Isa Yuguda among others. We watch these men and do not press for<br \/>\njustice&#8230;because we are apes. This is the plain bitter truth. Nigerians<br \/>\nare a wicked and unrepentant rotten breed of the type that inhabits the<br \/>\nblack hole of Calcutta.<\/p>\n<p>Our eyes are dimmed by sectarian and other fanatic, evil divides. We look<br \/>\nat the Zaria massacre and refer to the victims as &#8220;them.&#8221; That group. Those<br \/>\nmiscreants who do not deserve to be alive. We ourselves do not deserve to<br \/>\nbe alive. We are the scum of humanity. A disgrace. I am using the most<br \/>\npolite words to write this article. English lacks words terrible enough to<br \/>\nclassify what we are as a people&#8230;or the low level we are in the animal<br \/>\nkingdom.<\/p>\n<p>The Kaduna probe is a ruse and we all know it. People are looking for their<br \/>\nloved ones. What is a probe? Is there not supposed to be an urgent and<br \/>\nactive police investigation going on right now to find who is dead, where<br \/>\nthe dead are buried and who is alive? Where is the investigation as we go<br \/>\nabout our business? Barbarians! Plain and simple. How can the whereabouts<br \/>\nof our fellow citizens of such a large number be unknown and we act<br \/>\nregular? When one lady went missing in Abuja recently, we all clamored to<br \/>\nfind her. We hashtagged and twitted, looking for her. Glory to God she was<br \/>\nfound. We are pretenders. Hypocrites and liars. 705 people are missing and<br \/>\n300-1000 are dead and we do not give a damn, because &#8220;some of them tapped<br \/>\nthe chest of our army chief&#8221;&#8230;or because some of them protested and<br \/>\nbarricaded a street with sticks and stones, after we had massacred them the<br \/>\nyear before. Oh, they were a pest so kill them right? Animals!<\/p>\n<p>The Nigerian military massacred not only those who blocked the street.<br \/>\nLet&#8217;s say that was OK, even though it was not. The army and Kaduna<br \/>\ngovernment went ahead to rape, burn and in other ways massacre more with<br \/>\nbombs and all sorts of weapons at three other sites: in the Husainiyyah<br \/>\ncomplex, at Gyellesu and Darul Rahma burial ground. Then demolished their<br \/>\nstructures and exhumed their graves. And there is no active investigation<br \/>\nand we sit and eat dinner thinking we are human beings? We are animals, we<br \/>\ndrink blood. We are neither Muslims nor Christians because the followers of<br \/>\nJesus, peace be upon him and Mohammed, peace be upon him, will Never behave<br \/>\nas we do. Two whole months! We are the rats who wrote the budget. Who is<br \/>\nfooling who?<\/p>\n<p>Fellow barbarian, I hail you oh.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Peregrino Brimah @EveryNigerian<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When President Muhammadu Buhari disclaimed Nigerians as a criminal infested country, I was one of those who staunchly rejected it.
