After this I shall watch how<br \/>\nthings unfold and maintain a studied silence.<\/p>\n<p>In the Book of isaiah 54:15 the Holy Bible says &#8220;surely they shall<br \/>\ngather but it shall not be of me: whomsover gathers against thee shall<br \/>\nbe scattered for thy sake&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>To add to that in the second Book of Timothy 1:7 it says &#8220;God has not<br \/>\ngiven us a spirit of fear but of power, love and sound mind&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>It follows that we the Nigerian people must not live in fear or believe<br \/>\nthat all hope is lost despite the raging storm that we are passing<br \/>\nthrough and in spite of what the highly esteemed Professor Wole Soyinka<br \/>\nhas rightly described as &#8220;a horrrendous descent into the abyss&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Yet despite our strength and confidence in the redemptive and redeeming<br \/>\npower and salvation of the Most High God, the Lord of Hosts and the<br \/>\nAncient of Days we must consider our plight and challenges as a nation,<br \/>\nshare some bitter home truths, understand exactly what is unfolding<br \/>\nbefore our very eyes and what is going on in our country today and forge<br \/>\na consensus about what to do about it. That is the purpose and intent of<br \/>\nthis contribution.<\/p>\n<p>Permit me to begin with a very disturbing event that I read about on my<br \/>\ndear friend Shola Salako&#8217;s Facebook wall yesterday. The author narrated<br \/>\nhow a large group of Fulani men viciously maimed and slaughtered the<br \/>\nYoruba in Lagos a few days ago. The full text of her account is as<br \/>\nfollows:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Something really crazy, very scary happened last night and I am<br \/>\nseriously troubled because it&#8217;s very worrisome.<\/p>\n<p>Ikota villa estate is at Ikota, Lekki, by Mega Chicken eateries and<br \/>\nright by the side of the estate&#8217;s gate is this open space where a legion<br \/>\nof &#8220;Abokis&#8221; (meaning Fulanis) sit to sell all sorts including fruits.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, taking my friend&#8217;s kids to mega chicken, I told bros that,<br \/>\nthere was an eerie feeling almost scary about the abokis there and the<br \/>\nsheer number of them.<\/p>\n<p>They are very arrogant and utterly stubborn coupled with this attitude<br \/>\nthat do not befit anyone of such low cadre.<\/p>\n<p>I am not looking down on them but the arrogance they display do not<br \/>\nbefit their personalities.<\/p>\n<p>This evening, as I was buying apples, I parked by the corner and called<br \/>\nthis aboki to get me some apples and coconut.<\/p>\n<p>There was an argument right in front of me between this Yoruba man and<br \/>\nanother Aboki, I don&#8217;t know what it was about but luckily I did not have<br \/>\nto come down from the car if not; I would have been caught right in the<br \/>\nmiddle.<\/p>\n<p>The Yoruba guy slapped the aboki and from nowhere some Yoruba men came<br \/>\nfrom the opposite direction where they have a carwash.<\/p>\n<p>My goodness, within a twinkle of an eye, the road was full to the brim<br \/>\nwith abokis with machetes and all sorts of weapons of mass destruction.<\/p>\n<p>The gate to Ikota villa was suddenly shut, I had to reverse like a<br \/>\nmaniac back to mega chicken,<br \/>\nI even knocked some man down.<\/p>\n<p>The chaos was so much that the traffic gridlock was beyond words, what<br \/>\nsaved me was my estate&#8217;s sticker, as the gatemen just allowed me with<br \/>\nothers to go through ikota villa.<\/p>\n<p>The abokis beat these Yoruba guys to stupor and stabbed some people.<\/p>\n<p>They overpowered them in no time.<\/p>\n<p>The guy who slapped the aboki was covered in blood, if he survives that<br \/>\nbattering then he must have nine lives.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve never seen such brutality in raw form in my life.<\/p>\n<p>My brother-in-law, just came back not too long ago, narrating the story<br \/>\nand he confirmed two people died. Hmmm!<\/p>\n<p>You can be in denial as much as you want, you can support them all you<br \/>\ncare, but when it comes to supremacy, the Abokis believe they are<br \/>\nsuperior to everyone else.<\/p>\n<p>There is fire on the mountain and it&#8217;s trickling down, believe it or not<br \/>\nit would consume you. I am deeply worried&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>This is such an alarming story. Sadly this sort of thing happens all too<br \/>\noften in many towns and communities all over our country. Nobody is safe<br \/>\nfrom these people and their sheer barbarity and disregard for human<br \/>\nlife.<\/p>\n<p>It was my brother Bashorun Akin Osuntokun that first drew my attention<br \/>\nto the grave dangers that are posed by these inexplicably large and<br \/>\nomnious gatherings and strange groupings of well-armed and menacing<br \/>\nFulani men in the towns and communities of the south west a number of<br \/>\nyears ago. It is a testominy to Osuntokun&#8217;s forseight that his worse<br \/>\nfears are unfolding before our very eyes.<\/p>\n<p>I do not blame Salako for being deeply worried. She, and the rest of<br \/>\nNigeria, has EVERY reason to be.<\/p>\n<p>I say this because the brutality of the onslaught that she witnessed was<br \/>\nharrowing and debilitating: it was second to none. All manner of weapons<br \/>\nwere used to butcher an unsuspecting and trusting host population who<br \/>\nwere utterly shocked and ill-prepared for what they were subjected to by<br \/>\ntheir hitherto peaceful and pliant Fulani guests.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly this is a common occurence all over the country today. As a matter<br \/>\nof fact it happened for the umpteenth time in Jos, Plateau state just<br \/>\nyestertday and once again many innocent and defenceless Christians,<br \/>\nnon-Fulanis and members of the indegenous Berom tribe, including women<br \/>\nand children, were maimed and massacred and their homes burnt.<\/p>\n<p>These large groups of fearsome and well-armed Fulani men that gather<br \/>\nquietly in various parts of our towns and cities are actually sleeping<br \/>\narmies and terrorist cells.<\/p>\n<p>When the signal is given over the airwaves Nigerians will be shocked by<br \/>\nthe speed with which they will act and swing into action and by the<br \/>\nsophisticated weapons that they will suddenly spring out of nowhere.<\/p>\n<p>The carnage that they will unleash on our civilian population will be<br \/>\nfar worse than the mass murder, ethnic cleansing and genocide that was<br \/>\nperpetuated in Rwanda by the Hutus against the Tutsis or that was<br \/>\nwitnessed in the Nigerian civil war.<\/p>\n<p>The only part of the country that is not prepared for them and ready for<br \/>\nthis fight is the South West. Others are ready and they are silently<br \/>\ntooling up. Sadly we in the south west are still just talking. Worse of<br \/>\nall is that we have no means of defending ourselves, no unity and no<br \/>\ncommonality of purpose. We are badly divided and we are not sensitive to<br \/>\nthe grave dangers that lie ahead.<\/p>\n<p>The truth is that we must prepare ourselves now in order to be able to<br \/>\ndefend our people when the attacks come and the pogroms begin. We must<br \/>\nbe physically, spiritually, psychologically and emotionally ready for<br \/>\nthis fight otherwise we will all perish.<\/p>\n<p>President Muhammadu Buhari and his Fulani Government are now disarming<br \/>\nNigerians and, by executive order,\u00a0 he has banned ALL licensed weapons.<br \/>\nWhy do you think he has done this? It is not rocket science to figure<br \/>\nout what is really going on. Buhari&#8217;s\u00a0 intentions are as obvious as they<br \/>\nare malevolent.<\/p>\n<p>He also set up a Fulani radio station which they will use to activate<br \/>\ntheir sleeper cells and sleeping army in the south west and indeed all<br \/>\nover the country when they are ready to effect their final onslaught and<br \/>\nimplement their &#8220;final solution&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. Abimbola Adelakun, a brilliant writer, wrote the following in her<br \/>\ncolumn in the Punch Newspaper on May 23rd.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8230;.You would have noticed that since the present administration<br \/>\nstarted, almost all the vociferous voices that yelled against one thing<br \/>\nor the other in the past administrations have virtually gone mute. Their<br \/>\nsilence is not a coincidence; these former social advocates have been<br \/>\nbrowbeaten by the inveighing forces of Fulanisation\/Islamisation that<br \/>\ndemand conformity from everyone to enable a perpetuation of its power.<\/p>\n<p>This regulation of compliance takes several forms, but one of the most<br \/>\nobvious is the cult of silence that pervades southwestern Nigeria<br \/>\ndespite the invasion of the region by herdsmen. There is a<br \/>\nconspiratorial silence not to see or speak.<\/p>\n<p>From state governors to even the so-called Yoruba leaders, people are<br \/>\nmore invested in playing the politics of I-remain-loyal rather than<br \/>\ncalling out Fulani herdsmen for the atrocities they are committing.<br \/>\nThese elders and leaders are maintaining a posture of self-censure and<br \/>\nlooking away from the unfolding anarchy because to speak up is to risk<br \/>\njeopardising certain privileges.<\/p>\n<p>The connection between the evils done by Fulani herdsmen on the streets<br \/>\nand the Fulanisation\/Islamisation agenda can be seen if we understand<br \/>\nhow various spheres connect.<\/p>\n<p>From the cowing of previously strident voices, to the bending of tenets<br \/>\nof democracy to accommodate the abuses and excesses of the coterie<br \/>\ninvested power, to the cult of Buhari&#8217;s devotees who are all over the<br \/>\nplace barking at any dissenting voices, to the ways politicians from<br \/>\nother regions of Nigeria have to contort themselves and prove they are<br \/>\nnon-threatening in order to assure the wielders of power that &#8220;we are<br \/>\ntogether,&#8221; there is an ongoing pacification.<\/p>\n<p>They are regulating ethics of behaviour, and the end goal is to make the<br \/>\nsocial ecology more amenable for these power mongers to reign.<br \/>\nFulanisation\/Islamisation demands that you identify with their religion<br \/>\nand culture, pander to it, and also consciously carry out actions that<br \/>\nhelp them institutionalise their power.<\/p>\n<p>That is why it is not enough that southern politicians join the All<br \/>\nProgressives Congress; they have to dress like the Fulani. It does not<br \/>\nstop there. If Buhari heads to Saudi Arabia, they not only follow him<br \/>\nthere, they dress like Saudi Muslims.<\/p>\n<p>Because the criticisms of Fulani herdsmen will touch their patron saint<br \/>\nin Aso Rock (who has been their staunchest defender by the way), these<br \/>\npeople either avoid the subject or speak in cowardly tongues. Just look<br \/>\nat the number of people who will rather criticise Obasanjo than speak up<br \/>\nagainst the conditions of insecurity that we face.<\/p>\n<p>If you doubt that religion and ethnicity feature in the ways regional<br \/>\ncrimes are tackled in Nigeria, take a moment to compare the &#8220;crimes&#8221; of<br \/>\nthe pro-Biafran secessionists with the ones ravaging northern Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>The former was brutally assaulted and killed, while the treatment of the<br \/>\nlatter confirms that what you can get away with in Nigeria depends on<br \/>\nwhere you were born. When they asked the President if his administration<br \/>\nwould change their approach to managing the magnified problem of<br \/>\ninsecurity, he had nothing in his head or heart to offer other than say<br \/>\nhe had observed that the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu,<br \/>\nwas losing weight, and therefore must be working hard on that issue.<\/p>\n<p>It was not a joke, and even if it were, who uses a severe situation that<br \/>\nhas taken many lives and destroyed livelihoods to play for laughs?&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. Adelakun is right and her analysis is faultless.<\/p>\n<p>We in the South West particularly would do well to stop the childish<br \/>\nbickering, desist from the petty rivalries, sit up, smell the coffee and<br \/>\nget real. Afenifere has done very well and continues to provide a<br \/>\nmodicum of hope for our people.<\/p>\n<p>They are the conscience of the south west, the custodians of our<br \/>\nprinciples and values, the proverbial shining light on a hill and they<br \/>\nhave provided a credible, courageous and constant rallying point, even<br \/>\nin these challenging times, for every &#8216;omoluabi&#8217; in Yorubaland.<\/p>\n<p>Yet in my view to complement them, support their efforts and give them<br \/>\nthe teeth and bite that they still so badly need we must establish a<br \/>\nnew, more dynamic, more pragmatic, more aggressive and more militant<br \/>\nforce and group of leaders in the south west which is focused, primed<br \/>\nand ready to do all it takes to defend our territory and interests and<br \/>\nprotect our people.<\/p>\n<p>That is why the statement and intervention by the Yoruba Summit Group,<br \/>\nwhich is a body that serves as an umbrella group for all Yoruba<br \/>\nsocio-cultural organisations, is welcome. In a press release issued by<br \/>\ntheir spokesman, Mogaji Gboyega Adejumo, they said,<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Let the president know that the Yoruba do not want war, but we will<br \/>\ndefinitely defend ourselves should these instances of unprovoked attacks<br \/>\nby the Fulani continue.<\/p>\n<p>The Fulani cannot subjugate the rest of the peoples of Nigeria, rather,<br \/>\nthe reverse will be the case to the detriment of the innocent Fulani!<\/p>\n<p>That the Yoruba people collectively will hold on strongly and<br \/>\nsteadfastly to these resolves in as much as our collectively survival<br \/>\nrests on us and on no one else; the leaders, elders and the generality<br \/>\nof our people, for the common cause to confront all challenges of<br \/>\ninsecurity including genocide.<\/p>\n<p>That those not in support of these resolves shall be considered traitors<br \/>\nto the cause and will be treated as such.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Yoruba Summit Group have spoken the minds and voiced the thoughts of<br \/>\n50 million Yorubas spread all over the world. The handful of Yorubas<br \/>\nthat do not share their view will soon appreciate the folly and grave<br \/>\ndangers of collaborating with the enemy and swimming against a rising,<br \/>\nhostile and dangerous tide of anger, resentment and dissent from their<br \/>\nown people.<\/p>\n<p>The truth is that the time for talking is long over. More than ever<br \/>\nbefore we need groups like the OPC, YOLICOM and others to rise up to the<br \/>\noccassion and prepare for the worse. We in the South West must unite,<br \/>\nsensitise our people and prepare for the savagery and barbarity that<br \/>\nundoubtedly lies ahead! The lives of our women and our children and the<br \/>\nfuture and survival of our race depends on it!<\/p>\n<p>Yet the affliction with which we are faced affects and seeks to destroy<br \/>\nevery single ethnic nationality in our country and not just the Yoruba.<br \/>\nTo prove this point I am constrained to share a sizeable portion of the<br \/>\nassertions and submissions of Mr. Charles Ogbue, who is undoubtedly the<br \/>\nmost profound,\u00a0 brilliant and courageous writer of his generation.<\/p>\n<p>A few days ago in an essay titled &#8216;Islamisation and Fulanisation, Too<br \/>\nLate To Cry&#8217; he wrote the following:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The warning from people like former President Olusegun Obasanjo, former<br \/>\nChief of Army staff, rtd General T.Y. Danjuma and a host of others about<br \/>\nBuhari&#8217;s Islamisation and Fulanisation agenda is a little too late, I&#8217;m<br \/>\nafraid.<\/p>\n<p>Those warnings are as useless as a man warning his household about a<br \/>\nsupposed impending fire outbreak after the fire has already gutted their<br \/>\nhouse.<\/p>\n<p>Fact is, Buhari is currently not implementing any ethno-religious<br \/>\nagenda. HE HAS SINCE FINISHED THE IMPLEMENTATION AND IS NOW<br \/>\nCONSOLIDATING ON IT. And in fairness to him, he has never hidden the<br \/>\nfact that he is an incurable ethno-religious hegemonist.<\/p>\n<p>The only piece of information that will save Nigerians especially<br \/>\nsoutherners and non-Fulani northerners now is HOW TO NEUTRALIZE THE<br \/>\nISLAMISATION AND FULANISATION OR AT LEAST SURVIVE THEM\u00a0 because they are<br \/>\nhere already.<\/p>\n<p>When a President of a multi-ethnic, multi-religious and multi-cultural<br \/>\ncountry like Nigeria is busy filling all his appointments with only<br \/>\npeople from his own region and religion, handing over the entire<br \/>\nsecurity agencies including the paramilitary to only people from his own<br \/>\nregion and religion, protecting Islamist terrorists from his own region<br \/>\nand religion while sending python dance, armoured tanks and soldiers<br \/>\nafter unarmed peaceful agitators from other region and religion, DO YOU<br \/>\nNEED SOMEONE TO TELL YOU THAT SUCH A PRESIDENT IS IMPLEMENTING AN<br \/>\nETHNO-RELIGIOUS AGENDA?? Especially when that President is one who has<br \/>\npresided over the country in the past where he showed worst form of<br \/>\nethno-religious bigotry by throwing the Vice President of the govt he<br \/>\noverthrew, late Dr Alex Ekwueme, an Igbo Christian into Kirikiri maximum<br \/>\nsecurity prison while leaving the main President Shehu Shagari, a Fulani<br \/>\nMuslim like himself in a comfortable apartment in the name of house<br \/>\narrest?<\/p>\n<p>I think the problem is, most of us imagine Islamic Jihad to be some<br \/>\ngroup of badly dressed desert dwellers riding on horsebacks while<br \/>\nchanting &#8220;convert to Islam or be killed&#8221; the same way we imagine<br \/>\nislamisation to mean a situation where everyone will be forced to start<br \/>\npraying towards Mecca.<\/p>\n<p>The world has changed and so has everything along with it. No one needs<br \/>\nto force you to start going to the Mosque before you realize you have<br \/>\nbeen islamised.<\/p>\n<p>If your Executive, your Legislature and your Judiciary are all headed by<br \/>\npeople from a particular region and religion, If your security agencies<br \/>\nand indeed all institutions of state coercion are virtually in the hands<br \/>\nof only people from a particular region and religion, If your own<br \/>\nlawmakers and political leaders who are Christians and Southerners all<br \/>\nhave to bend the knee and dress like those other people as we saw with<br \/>\nFemi Gbajabiamila and Ibe Kachikwu recently, before they can get<br \/>\nposition they are qualified for, If a governor in an exclusively<br \/>\nChristian state like Enugu had to start his inauguration for a 2nd term<br \/>\nwith a Jummat service in a Mosque just because he needed to pander to<br \/>\nsome interest, If you that is reading this have had course to<br \/>\ncontemplate changing your name to sound like that of those other people<br \/>\nbecause you know an Islamic or Fulani sounding name will get you a job<br \/>\nin NNPC and CBN while a Christian\/southern sounding name will disqualify<br \/>\nyou for that same job, If a club house in the Capital city could be<br \/>\ndemolished for no just cause, if Muslim youths could attack a Catholic<br \/>\nChurch in Suleja, Niger state simply for worshipping on Friday with the<br \/>\npolice not prosecuting any of them, If a female pastor with Redeemed<br \/>\nChristian Church, Eunice Elisha could be butchered right here in Abuja<br \/>\nsimply for preaching in a street housing a Mosque with the police<br \/>\nreleasing all the Muslim youths arrested without charge, If Fulani<br \/>\nherdsmen could rape, maim and carry out ethnic cleansing with<br \/>\ngovt-sponsored impunity etc, IF ALL OR MOST OF THESE CONDITIONS APPLY,<br \/>\nyou are already islamized and Fulanised. If you don&#8217;t yet realise it,<br \/>\nyou soon will&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>As is always the case with him, once again Mr. Ogbue has done justice to<br \/>\nhis subject-matter.\u00a0 He has hit the nail on the head and we ignore his<br \/>\nadmonitions and words at our own peril. Frankly I could not have<br \/>\nanalysed the situation better myself.<\/p>\n<p>Permit me to end this contribution with the incisive words of Mr.<br \/>\nBamidele Ademola-Olateju. A few days ago he wrote the following:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Nigeria is a tragedy descending into a farce.The real motive for<br \/>\nsurrounding the South West is territorial expansionism and the need for<br \/>\na cultural overrun. Kidnapping for ransom is the prelude to these. With<br \/>\nthe deadly silence from those who unleashed Operation Crocodile Smile on<br \/>\nIPOB but who have refused to even utter a word on Fulani terrorists, the<br \/>\nnation is encouraging self-help, which is a vital ingredient in<br \/>\ngenocide&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>I concur. As they say, a word is enough for the wise.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"conversation-footer\" class=\"spacer\"><\/div>\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>By: Femi Fani-Kayode For your own sake and for the sake of your family and nation please take what you are about to read very seriously and please endeavour to&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":60092,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,12,15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-66972","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles-opinions","category-columns","category-femi-fani-kayode"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
