Islamic group’s letter to Federal Character Commission leaks
By EMERSON GOBERT JR
Saturday, August 8, 2009


At a time when Nigerians are still counting their losses from crisis caused by the Boko Haram group, whose agenda was to make the country an Islamic state, a plot to also Islamize the central government has been uncovered.

Saturday Sun can authoritatively reveal that a pro-Islamic group, the Supreme Council for Sahari’an in Nigeria, wants Muslims to occupy the key positions at the federal level, including the armed forces. The group said that this has become necessary in order to reverse what it said was done during the General Olusegun Obasanjo government from 1999-2007.

According to a letter to the chairman of the Federal Character Commission, Prof. S. Oba Abdulraheem, a copy of which Saturday Sun got, the Supreme Council for Sahari’an in Nigeria said that the opportunity of having a Muslim as number citizen in the country should be used to entrench Muslims in government.

The letter said: “Mr. Chairman, it is important to note that Muslims are not asking for any favour on this matter. Rather, they are demanding their right, justice and equity. In our considered view, now is a God-given opportunity, which may not avail itself again, once it is not seized upon. We should, therefore, promptly seize upon this opportunity and in doing so, adopt a holistic resolution of the ugly and untenable trend in the marginalization of Muslims.

“If we fail to do so, then we would unwittingly find ourselves in the helpless position of the Hutu complacent majority in Rwanda, who were overrun and massacred in genocide by the minority Tutsi, who had the foresight to plan the systematic control of the military and other strategic security agencies. And as the saying goes, those who fail to learn from the lessons of history are doomed to repeat it. If we fail to right the monumental wrong today, then we should prepare for a perilous future.”

Entitled, “the Imperative of the Constitutional Principle of Federal Character to redress gross marginalization in the Armed Forces, the Police, Security Agencies and other MDAs (Ministries, Departments and Agencies),” the council said that the lopsided recruitments and appointments in the armed forces and police/security agencies in flagrant disregard for constitutional requirement of Federal Character does not augur well for the security and stability of the Nigerian state and transgresses the sense of constitutional propriety, transparency and fairness, all of which are indispensable components of the rule of law.
Besides, the group said that it does not give assurance of fairness and fair play in the conduct of national affairs, thereby creating the fear of the probability of a re-enactment of the Rwandan Hutu/Tutsi massacres among a large section of Muslims.

This, it said, is particularly so, in view of the countless religious crises that have happened in the last 10 years and series of other ethnic crises in various parts of the country.
The petition further stated that it was important to note that the issue of deliberate marginalization is real and one in which the aggrieved party or group is not “Arewa” or any other group defined by ethnic identity or geography, but by its faith.

Presenting a brief analysis of the statistical data on appointments and recruitments into the armed forces in the last few years, especially during the Obasanjo era, which it accused of “this elaborate plot,” the council stated that in 2005, the level of discontent on the issue of disproportionate representation in favour of Christians against Muslims reached near boiling point and culminated in an unprecedented effort at the behest of the council, by the leaders of the Muslim community in Nigeria led by the late Sultan, Alhaji Maccido.
It said: “For the first time, on realizing the level of marginalization of Muslims by the Obasanjo government generally, especially in the armed forces and police/security agencies, the Muslim leaders summoned up the courage to confront the former President Obasanjo, with a catalogue of complaints, supported by incontrovertible statistical data in this regard. Unfortunately, the representation was rebuffed by the former president with only promises, which he clearly never meant to fulfill.”

Tracing the genesis of the problem, the religious body cited the historical educational disadvantage of the predominantly Muslim areas generally and the perception of power by Muslims, since the end of the First Republic, as an end in itself rather than as a means to an end. As a result, the document stated that Muslims assume leadership positions with the primary consideration of the self and with no agenda or planning, and “as the saying goes, he who fails to plan, plans to fail from the very beginning in any endeavour.”
Still pressing its case, the group said: “It is no wonder, therefore, that CAN and the various interest groups, i.e., Middle Belt, Free Masons, etc masquerading behind it, have succeeded in foisting their agenda over the rest of the country to ensure dominance in key areas. This is because they were able to articulate very clearly a comprehensive agenda and tactfully disseminated it to its key members in government.”

Accusing the Federal Character Commission of not living up to its constitutional obligations, the Supreme Council for Shari’ an in Nigeria further said: “If one takes the issue of control of command positions, mass retirements that are continuing since 1999, involving largely Muslims and juxtaposes the unhealthy trend in recruitment in all the services, it creates a frightening scenario. We believe it is a fatal mistake to feel satisfied, as most Muslims do, with the mere fact of the enshrinement of the Federal Character principle in the constitution.

“It is imperative to ensure its application, in toto, as the constitution unequivocally stipulates. For the practical utility of any law lies in its prompt application, especially since the circumstances envisaged in the law have become manifest. The perpetuation of the status quo is an act of gross injustice and injustice can never be justified. It is an evil, which breeds resentment and unless such injustice is promptly redressed fairly, the resultant resentment can produce unpleasant and unpredictable consequences.”

My Comment:
In any country where Islam have some subsantial number of followers, it either of two options;
1. Islam would made made a state religion
2. That country would have no peace until option 1 above is achieved.

What some of us dont understand yet is this, for how long shall we continue to daydream about a country called Nigeria even though that we have seen that head or tail, the country was founded on lie.

It is only a matter of time, another group worse than Boko Haran would emerge. This time around, they might succeed in taking Aso Rock, appoint an Ayatollah who will use the planes, the warships and all the armories of the Federal Govt of Nigeria (all purchased with the wealth from the south), to assult the south from the Land, Air and Water. Those who survive would either become slaves or a one hundred (100) year war will ensue.

And the average Southern Nigerian would say, No, it is not possible.

But I would say, "Now is the time to negotiate on the peaceful seperation of Nigeria".

That is not what the folks want!

They want to seperate the head of all "infidels" from their bodies.
They want to keep all the women and children indoors and if they must come out, the women must cover the whole of their bodies (including face).
They want to burn down all churches and built mosque instead.
They want all Moses to become Musa
They want all suits to disappear and in place them will be danshiki
They want us to learn Arabic instead of french, English or any other.
The only techology we would be allowed to study would be that of making bombs.
They want to cut limbs of petty theives while allwing the executive thieves to travel to Mecca.
They want Jihad, they want the flow of blood as it is not flowing enough.
They want much more that you can think or imagine.
They want , (you name every disaster you can think of).

No, Nigeria is not yet "Islamised"

If Nigeria becomes islamised, Nairaland will be banned and I cant post this.

But if hausa-fulani people are really stupid as we make them out to be,we can't we,the southerners,westerners and easterners put them in their place for real instead of just talking trash all the time?

I think you have completely gone out of context. It is more of arrogance obtained from the religion of Islam more than stupidity. Also and if I may ask, please what are your suggestions on how we can "put them in their place".

Finally, if this topic is a really a thrash, then I am sincerely sorry. Cheers
