Different strokes for different folks. While other people are resisting a State of Emergency or finding ways to avoid it, the long suffering people of Southern Kaduna, who have been at the receiving end of violent Islamic groups and Fulani herdsmen have cried out to the president to impose a state of emergency in their area. It would be recalled that terrorists had written a letter to the people of Zonkwa warning them that they would unleash death and blood on them because of the way they voted in the 2011 elections. NaijaPundit had exclusively published that letter over a year ago.

Southern Kaduna Deserves State of Emergency

President Goodluck Jonathan’s declaration of State of Emergency in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa
States surprised Nigerians; particularly those dwelling in Southern Kaduna area
of Kaduna State where series of terrorist attacks have been occurring
unabated.

Since 2011 to date, the latest being last Sunday 12th May 2013
in Zangan, Kaura Local Government where about 12 persons were killed and houses
burnt to ashes by highly sophisticated gunmen. This is one example of more than
60 reported and unreported coordinated killings that kept ravaging the area,
with not less than 500 innocent people mostly children and women killed
altogether. Yet President Goodluck Jonathan and the nation’s security chiefs did
not find it worthy to declare State of Emergency in troubled Southern Kaduna
region under terrorist siege.

The Presidential action left us with
surprise and conviction that President Jonathan and Nigeria’s security chiefs,
are really not abreast with insecurity ravaging Southern Kaduna, or at best
playing politics with security of lives and properties of innocent and law
abiding peoples of Southern Kaduna whose lives are presently at the instance of
high powered terrorists carrying out gradual genocide in the area.

The
action further left us with reality that there is more than meet the eye, as far
as the Southern Kaduna killings are concerned.It is clear that there is a
conspiracy backed by several unseen forces bound on ensuring that the area is
grounded, considering the fact that socio-economic activities in the area are
now in its shadows and malfunctioning.

Finally, we want to make it clear,
that Southern Kaduna deserve to have been included in the State of Emergency
action of President Jonathan. This is because it is the only viable option left
to make sure that security situation get cogent attention and
action.

Wow! Indeed different strokes for different folks! They must really be in terror to want a state of emergency! What a heartless boko people that derive so much pleasure in taking lives!

Can someone kindly translate that letter?

So all you people that claim all Northern People are Boko boys do you now see how all Nigerians are suffering No real Hausa or follower of Islam would condone the innocent being killed as it is against the true belief system of Islam. My heart goes out to those that are suffering and facing this catastrophe my your God protect you and bring justice to those spreading terrorism
