It is really sad that the West\u2014Barack Obama, David Cameron, Germany,
\nFrance and off-course Nigerians mostly the North and SW led by Tinubu –
\nelected a man whose past and antecedents are well known.<\/p>\n
Moreover, most Nigerians know Buhari very well.\u00a0 His ethnic prejudice and
\nprimordial policies during his military regime in 1983\/84 crippled the
\neconomy and the country.\u00a0 This is an ex-military dictator whose unguarded
\ncomments, unwise actions, lack of communication skills and leadership
\netiquette are nothing to write about. So far, his two-year presidency has
\nbeen a complete disaster.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s really a shame of a nation that formulates policies designed to
\nstrangulate a potential region of the country, a region that has the
\ncapacity and wherewithal to develop the entire country.<\/p>\n
And so, why are Ndigbo hated in Nigeria?\u00a0 I have written on this topic few
\ntimes in the past including my piece titled: Why does Biafra want
\nseparation from Nigeria! Seven reasons (Part 1 &2), published by several
\nNigerian online newspapers.<\/p>\n
In the video that Femi Fani-Kayode released recently, President Muhammadu
\nBuhari stated the primary reason why the Hausa\/Fulani hate Igbos so much
\nin Nigeria.\u00a0 I have read a number of articles, few books and seen videos
\non the so-called \u201cIgbo coup\u201d of January 15, 1966, which off-course has
\nbeen debunked by a number of writers and eye-witnesses.\u00a0 I\u2019m not going to
\ndwell on the awful history of Nigeria\u2019s military period, but luckily we
\nnow know why Ndigbo are deeply hated in Nigeria.<\/p>\n
Having known this, what are we going to do to redeem our history and
\nreclaim our future in Nigeria?<\/p>\n
Like the Jews, whom Igbos claim affinity with, they were hated by their
\nneighbors \u2013 the Palestine, Arabs, Europeans, etc. and persecuted
\nworldwide.\u00a0 Throughout the history, we read how the Jews were persecuted,
\nsent in bondage because of whose they are and who they claimed to be, in
\naddition to their disobedience and not following the commandments of God.
\nBecause of those reasons and others, the Jews always found themselves in
\nbondage or enslaved…<\/p>\n
We can count few nations in the world that like the Jews.\u00a0 But they have
\nalways overcome their travails.\u00a0 Each time, they cried out to God and a
\nprophet will be sent by God to deliver them.<\/p>\n
By divine intervention and providence, in 1948, the Jews finally settled
\nin a tiny Land in Middle East, the size of Abia\/Imo State combined.
\nToday, the Jews literally control the globe with their ingenuity,
\ninnovation, and creativity. The tiny country of Israel, which has no
\nnatural resources, is among the richest nations and the third most
\nindustrialized nation on the planet after USA and Japan.\u00a0 Its minimum wage
\nis higher than that of the U.S…\u00a0 Their scientists, innovators, writers,
\nlawyers, entrepreneurs, professors, etc. scatter the globe and lead some
\nof the prominent institutions in the world.<\/p>\n
The Jews have learned to love and care for one another again, which was
\ndestroyed as a result of their travails and history of persecution,
\nbondage and enslavement.\u00a0 Today, a Jew cannot look away while another Jew
\nis struggling or suffering.\u00a0 They have re-established their \u201cbeloved
\ncommunity\u201d \u2013 no fierce competition among themselves, no greed, no
\njealousy, no backbiting, none of that, but they work together to transcend
\nadversity and achieve common success in all that they do and touch.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s what Ndigbo need to learn to do if they are ever going to conquer
\nthe adversity and pathological hatred against them in Nigeria.\u00a0 It is
\ngoing to take the secret of the Jewish people and God\u2019s divine
\nintervention for Igbos to survive in Nigeria.<\/p>\n
Igbos are fiercely hated by Hausa-Fulani and Yoruba tribes of Nigeria. And
\nthat\u2019s one of the major reasons Nigeria cannot advance beyond what it is
\ntoday\u2014essentially a failed State, a corrupt, lawless and violent nation.<\/p>\n
Despite her enormous human capital and abundant natural resources\u2014a nation
\nwith so much promise of prosperity and greatness, today is a failed State
\nbecause of ethnic hatred, tribalism, and injustice against Igbos. The
\nNigerian State sponsors ethnic and religious massacre using Boko haram and
\nFulani herdsmen as well as military and political motivated killings.<\/p>\n
The barbaric, murderous state of Nigeria is one the main reasons several
\ngroups are agitating for self-determination, which is an international
\nlaw.\u00a0 Some groups seek restructuring, which the north views as division of
\nthe country.\u00a0 Even though, the agitation for the restoration of the
\nsovereign State of Biafra by IPOB is widely felt in Nigeria and globally
\ntoday, Niger Delta, OPC, Middle Belt, etc. and other variant groups are
\ncalling for restructuring or disintegration of the country.<\/p>\n
Most ethnic groups in Nigeria want freedom and self-determination from the
\ncorrupt and failing State of Nigeria, which has been badly managed by a
\nclandestine elitist group for their selfish and self-serving purposes.
\nMoreover, the deep seeded ethnic hatred, severe suffering and
\nmarginalization and numerous injustices against Ndigbo by the Hausa-Fulani
\nCaliphate and Yoruba co-conspirators since the amalgamation of Nigeria in
\n1914 cannot be healed overnight.<\/p>\n
Some of us who have spent time studying the mechanics\u2014politics of hatred
\nand policies of stagnation of the former eastern region know quite well
\nthat Ndigbo have no future in Nigeria.\u00a0 And those who still believe in
\none-Nigeria are either deluded or protecting the little crumbs they are
\nreceiving from their Fulani masters.\u00a0 We are deceiving ourselves in
\nNigeria.\u00a0 Instead of continuous waste of lives and destruction of
\ndestinies, the best thing is for peaceful division of the country if the
\nnorth cannot agree to true fiscal federalism and regional autonomy.<\/p>\n
It is time sincere and courageous citizens come together and\u00a0 unite to
\nliberate themselves and their land from this clandestine and corrupt
\nelitist group that have held Nigeria in bondage for too long.<\/p>\n
All Sincere Nigerians must come together and do whatever is necessary to
\nrestructure the country or peacefully divide it \u2014 because there is no
\nfuture and hope for us in today\u2019s Nigeria. Life in Nigeria today is a
\nhopeless one.\u00a0 Apart from the thousands that have been massacred since
\nBuhari came into office, one study recently estimated that 7.4 million
\nNigerians are mentally depressed due to economic recession and hardship.<\/p>\n
President Buhari and his northern cabals do not want restructuring.
\nAPC\/Buhari said that 1300 page report of the 2014 National Conference
\norganized by ex-president Gioodluck Jonathan should be consigned to the
\ndustbin. Within months of coming into power, President Buhari relocated
\nthe army headquarters to his State, and appointed his nephew to be the
\nchief of army staff.\u00a0 His cousins, nephews and friends head most of the
\nvital institutions in Nigeria today.\u00a0 All the military institutions are
\nheaded by Fulani men who are absolutely loyal to Muhammadu Buhari even in
\nhis death bed.\u00a0 Sadly, Islamic Nigeria has become our new colonial master
\nwith their network of political prostitutes from Biafra representing their
\nself-interests as long as they are given crumbs that fall under the table.<\/p>\n
The north want status quo to continue. They want to continue to control
\nthe crude oil resources in Biafra land and revenue that accrues from it.
\nThey want to continue to control their conquered territories, which sadly
\ntoday includes several parts of Biafra land.\u00a0 They want to stay on top of
\nthe oppressed people simply for their selfish, self-serving ideologies.
\nHowever, history teaches us that such conquest and oppression do not
\nalways survive.\u00a0 Babylon, Assyria, Rome, Greece, Britain, France, etc. all
\nfailed.<\/p>\n
We need courageous, visionary and skillful Nigerians to work together to
\nemancipate the country from this systemic marginalization, political
\noppression, and satanic subjugation against the indigenous populations.<\/p>\n
If we do not wake-up from our slumber now to confront the on-going satanic
\nplan and attack carefully orchestrated by the Northern Oligarchy and their
\nBritish imperial masters to continue the marginalization and subjugation
\nof ethnic populations, the entire Nigeria will be enslaved and Islamized
\none day. As a matter of fact, the Eastern region is the only remaining
\nterritory for Hausa\/Fulani to conquer in Nigeria. And it is on-going now.
\nIf it is not confronted, Nigeria will become Turkey or Egypt one day.\u00a0 Why
\nnot?\u00a0 Nigeria is the absolute desire of Saudi Arabia to become fully
\nIslamized in Africa.<\/p>\n
The strategy of conquest and enslavement of ingenious populations has
\nalways been the same used by colonial powers of the past \u2013 Babylon,
\nAssyria, Rome, Greece, Britain, France, America, etc.\u00a0 And that\u2019s exactly
\nwhat is going on in Nigeria today. I firmly believe the evil British
\ngovernment is behind the oppression of Igbo in Nigeria.\u00a0 We need Godly
\nwisdom and divine strength to overcome their satanic subjugation.<\/p>\n

\nthe children of Israel from the oppressive regime of Pharaoh and
\norchestrated policy to exterminate the Israelites from Egypt.\u00a0 \u00a0 Moses was
\nborn during the oppression of the Israelites in Egypt (Exodus 2:2).\u00a0 King
\nPharaoh launched an official policy of oppression against the Israelites
\nbecause of their population growth, progress and wealth.\u00a0 When the
\noppression failed to curb the population growth, he announced the new
\npolicy (death decree) \u2013 \u201cEvery boy that\u2019s born to the Hebrew woman shall
\nbe thrown into the Nile (Exodus 1:22<\/span><\/span>).\u00a0 Moses was born just during that
\ntime. Even though Moses grew in up the Palace and received the best
\neducation the world can offer then, he was not a happy child.\u00a0 He grew up
\nto witness the oppression and maltreatment of his people.\u00a0 Moses responded
\nto the act of oppression against his people by killing an Egyptian and
\nwill later lead a movement with the help of Joshua, Aaron and divine
\nguidance of God, he brought out the enslaved Israelites out of Egypt.<\/p>\n
\nland.\u00a0 As he grew up, he led a movement that rebelled against the social,
\nmoral, economic and political injustices against his people.\u00a0 Jesus was
\nmurdered by the Romans with the help of his people \u2013 the Jewish religious
\nbigots and hypocrites for the primary reason that he rebelled and agitated
\nfor freedom of his oppressed people. He remains the greatest moral, human

\npursue their God-given destiny?<\/p>\n
\ndid not compel His creation to live in hateful unity and abused
\nrelationships. In fact, those were the very reasons divorce was permitted
\nbiblically.\u00a0 God the Creator did not continue to share the heavens with
\nSatan, who was the \u201cAngel of Light \u201cafter he rebelled and committed
\nidolatry.\u00a0 \u00a0God does not condone unity with uncircumcised people.\u00a0 Jesus
\nChrist did not ask us to love and live with our enemies.\u00a0 He only told us
\nto love our neighbor.\u00a0 We were not commanded to live with a neighbor who
\nhates and always ready to kill.\u00a0 We don\u2019t have to live with hateful and
\ntreacherous neighbors.<\/p>\n
\nforge the unity and foster the love necessary to confront this satanic
\nconspiracy in order to free our people and land from the coming
\nenslavement and islamization of entire Nigeria.
