The clouds of war are
gathering with blood sucking gods that follow the perching of vultures.
Vultures from Europe,
vultures from England, vultures from Asia, yes,
vultures from America
that deal on arms.
With eyes constantly
fixed on any trouble spot in the world. They're are hopefully praying to extend
their business from Tripoli to Abuja.
This is because, Nigeria
is fast ascending to the very path that Freetown took. The path that ruined
Congo and Libya. The expressway to Rwanda, that is the path Nigeria is fast
speeding into.
Yet, this path is not a
new path to us. It's a familiar terrain that we have taken before.
In 1966, long before
even the Rwandan path was paved. We wasted over 3 million people as hundreds of
innocent souls were slaughtered before even the war started.
Long before the Rwandan
path was paved, religious differences and ethnic intolerance as being repeated
today, led to a civil war that took our best, took our leaders, took innocent
souls and took us backward.
The backwardness is
still hunting and hurting us till day. And, it's the wounds of the war that was
not treated in a round table talk, talk, that is leading to another war. Yet,
the leader of the nation insists that he's comfortable exactly the way things
are.
So, it's either history
is unfair to us or our leaders are blind to it. Indeed, the death meant to kill
a dog does not allow her to smell faeces. And, like the saying goes, those who
do not understand history are bound to repeat it.
Even if we hadn't
experienced a civil war before, what happened in Free Town, Monrovia, Abidjan
in recent history ought to have taught us a lesson. The way Tripoli was turned
from a fast developing city into a slave town where war lords reign should
serve as a lesson.
But no, we learnt
nothing. Just 50 years after, when those that played major role to the last
civil war are still alive, here the snowball of war goes rolling down from the
snow mountain of stupid arrogance, gathering with it all the ethnic intolerance
and religious divide that paved the path of Rwandan.
Where are you Gen.
Gowon? Your silence is strongly becoming cowardice. Where art thou Alhaji
Abudsalem Abubakar? Your silence is strongly becoming a tactical approval to the
atrocities going on in the nation.
Where are you Chief
Emeka Anyaoku for there is an error in your silence. Speak out Gen. IBB or else
history will record it that you said nothing when your voice was needed most.
Ochiagha Ndi Igbo Comr.Ebitu Ukiwe your children are being slaughtered in their
farms and you said nothing.
You all said nothing as
the youngman who watched his pregnant mother gang raped and her stomach ripped
open bites his tongue and moan in revenge.
You bigmen in power and
in office, you felt secured and less concerned because you thought the evil is
far of.
When this Rwanda that is
fast speeding to Nigeria will arrive, the distinguished Senator will be
extinguished. The honourable house members will be dishonored. Some of you in
executive offices will be executed.
All by war lords who
will takeover and parade the streets of Osun, Ondo, Edo, Sokoto, Abuja,
Calabar, Enugu etc (All states in Nigeria). The war lords that took over the
streets of Rwanda did the same.
So. Let each and
everyone one of you wake up while it's day, let us collectively pursue the black
sheep. Or else, when Rwanda will arrive, lizards will replace cows as major
source of protein in our cooking.
Ask Samuel Doe, when
Rwanda arrived at Morovia, he hit the streets from the presidential palace in
search of food after slaughtering his lions for meal. That was how he was
captured and slaughtered.
Rwanda does not respect
big men and big office holders. As there are no big men Libya today, but war
lords that are selling the children of even the rich into slavery.
When Rwanda arrives
there will be no strong man, no community leader, big men or small men. In
Rwanda, there was not even religious leaders. Everyone will be to himself and
God to all us.
For the big men aides
will desert them and run to take their families into the bush for safety. Then,
the high fences of the local almighties will be climbed, their strong pad locks
broken, their properties stolen, their wivies and daughters violated before
them.
For they're always the
first target of the Rwanda mobs. Ask the former almighty of Congo, Zaire
politics, ask Gaddafi, when Rwanda visited their palaces were the first target
of attack.
So, no one should feel
less concerned about this Rwanda breeze that is blowing towards Nigeria. Do
whatever you can today to stop it by speaking out. Or else, we all will live to
regret our inactions.
If the truth must be
said, the path way to Rwanda is being paved due to our Executive arms of
government lackadaisical attitude in respect to the insecurity ravaging the
country.
Under this very regim that
came for change, Nigeria our beloved country has unfortunately, become a
lawless country. A country with no rules and regulation, a country where laws
are not adhered to. A country where there is no consequence for killing of
innocent citizens.
Yet, we have a
government in place that refuses to take responsibility and security agents
that seems not to know what their work is. Yet, every year we budget and spend
billions on security agencies and the citizens are taxed for this. That's how
the path to Rwandan is being paved.
On the expressway to
Rwandan, citizens got killed, innocent girls are violated, mothers raped,
farmers throat slit, people going about their businesses are killed at gun
point and nothing was done about it. From Enugu, Kaduna South, Bornu, Bauchi,
Zamfara, Adamawa, Nasarawa, Taraba, Plateau down to Benue, the Rwandan
experience is going on.
You might feel secured
today because you move around with escorts, but when Rwanda will arrive it will
only be war lords that will be escorted.
There will be no
senator, Federal or State House member, because each zone will be manned by war
lords that legislate the rule of law.
When Rwanda will arrive
there will be no governor, no minister, no government officials because there
was none in Rwanda, each area will have a war lord that will be lord of the
law.
In Rwanda, there will be
no middle class, industrialist, banks etc, so there will be no ATM. The war
lords controlling the areas you fall into might decide to print a new currency
with his head as the logo. So, stop counting on what you have acquired now, for
all be lost.
On the path to Rwanda
men of God that speak out and speak the truth to the government of the day were
arrested and detained. Just as it is happening now.
On the path to Rwanda
the government of the day favoured one ethnic group against the other, and
those that felt neglected took to self-defense. That was what paved the way to
Rwanda.
The Rwandan highway is
being paved in Kaduna South, Jos, Taraba, Zamfara, Nasarawa and Benue.
Communities that felt neglected by the federal government are going into
self-defense.
In Rwanda, babies were
born with no future. As soon as they grow up they pick up an AK 47 and start
killing fellow human beings. That Rwandan path is being paved in the Boko Haram
controlled areas in Northern Nigeria.
In Rwanda, bodies of
dead people littered everywhere and the government of the day felt less
concerned, just as dead bodies means nothing anymore in Nigeria. Nigeria is
just as if we are in Liberia or Afghanistan.
Nigeria has become a
barbaric nation with no respect for human life.
Like Rwanda, Nigeria has
become a place where we wake up every day and hear that people are being
slaughtered and we feel like it's normal. In fact, like Rwanda, Nigeria has
become a place where we hear 6 killed, 24 injured and we are like it's small.
Like Rwanda, schools
have closed in so many villages due to the attack of war lords struggling for
territories and the government of the day are helpless about it.
Nigeria is seriously
drifting towards Rwanda, but some people instead of speaking out and saying the
truth are clapping and urging the president to go on as if nothing is
happening.
But, when Rwanda will
arrive, there would be no oil money to share, no nation to govern and all the
major oil fields will be controlled by Niger Delta war lords.
So keep on clapping and
praising the government while pregnant women are being slaughtered.
Keep on talking about
2019 while innocent children are being murdered. Keep on pretending that all is
well with Nigeria when a foreign army of occupation has taken over most
villages in Nigeria and our military are doing nothing about it.
Keep on feeling less
concerned when our national territory has been invaded by foreign mercenaries
and we keep on pretending like all is at peace.
The truth is, we cannot
continue like this and expect Nigeria not to hit the Rwandan path. Nigerians
are being slaughtered like cattle, and their cries are hitting the ground.
Hearts are hurting, souls are ravaging for Revenge and they're gathering storms
of war.
Nigeria will not survive
a second civil war and the next war will be so shapeless because people will be
hit from all angles.
In Rwanda, everywhere
and everyone was affected.
When Rwanda visited
Sudan, the former senate president lined up to beg for food from the relief
agencies.
The earlier our leaders
drop their ethnic and religious differences and come together to demand an end
to the herdsmen moving from one village to another to slaughter our people.
Speak out now for no
matter how small your voice may sound, our collective voices will sound like a
big mega phone to help stop the looming danger.
