MAI TATSINE, BOKO HARAM AND CAN: THE
BITTER TRUTH “Marwa Maitatsine, was a Christian until
his death!!
Back in 1954, there ware series of
meetings by the highest body of Christian
association in the northern Nigeria, in Jos,
which I happened to be the secretary, taking the minutes of that meeting (then, I
was an undergraduate student of Christian
Theology). Part of the result of that
meeting was, to sponsor some people
among ‘us’ to go to Arab countries as new
Muslim converts, and learn Arabic and Islam. Their mission is to come back to
Nigeria as Muslims clerics, use their Islamic
knowledge to preach violence, distort
original Islamic teachings and if possible
cause a riot in the North that will make
northern Nigeria a history. Five people were nominated for the job, and sent to
Sudan to start their mission. 3 of them
refused to come back and execute their
plan, but spent the rest of their lives in
Sudan as true Muslims. The remaining two;
Muhammad Marwa and Birema came back, Marwa was sent to Kano, and Birema was
sent to Niamey Niger Republic.”….Pro

Mai Tatsine the obsolete version of Boko
Haram, which began their reign in late 50’s in Kano and some other parts of Northern
Nigeria, their ideologies were similar to
that of Boko Haram, they forbade what
Islam allowed, and allowed what Islam
made haram. They claimed western
education is sin, they rejected anything brought by technology, they were popular
with saying, wearing a wrist watch is
haram, using radios and television is
haram e.t.c. (considering the technological
advancement of that period). The spiritual
leader of Maitatsine movement was Muhammad Marwa a.k.a Mai Tatsine. The
Emir of Kano Sanusi, once suspected
Maitasine as fake Muslim when he
discovered Maitatsine received goods from
Vatican Palace. After sarki confirmed his
findings, he expelled Maitatsine out of Kano, in early 60’s. Mai Tatsine was later
brought back to Kano by Gov. Rimi in 1979.
Rimi believed that Maitatsine would help
him win his reelection through charm.
After the Maitatsine’s death, Shagari, the
then President set a Anya Goru panel to investigate the crises. Prof. Dauda has
made his submission in that panel, but
when the President, saw the report, he
said no, the white paper will not be issued
on this report, because it may result to
crises, so the white paper was not issued, till date.
Professor Dauda became Muslim in 1966,
after he came back from Rome, where he
went to further his studies, in Christian
Theology. He is still alive and has become a
Muslim preacher for over 40 years. What I quoted above was from his lecture I
attended in Bauchi, 2002.

-Ever since, no any Christian scholar or CAN
executive denied this statement from Prof. Dauda . Are they waiting for his death
before they deny it?
-Security operatives that always claim they
want uproot the Boko Haram mayhem did
not investigate in that angle, why?
-Why the relationship between Jerry Gana (CAN chieftain) and Muhammad Yusuf,
founder of Bokoharam? The former has
bailed the later from police custody several
times.
-I see a double standard approach and
hypocrisy by the security personnel, in the investigation.
-I began to believe Boko Haram is the
creation of some enemies of Islam possibly
CAN (not Christian), is never a creation of
Muslims.
-Remember, Hillary Clinton once said Taliban is their creation, to fight Russians. I beg your pardon, if this write up hurt you
in any form, it’s not intended, but facts
need to be set straight. I promised to
upload the audio lecture from the Prof.
Himself for your digestion
Umar Ibrahim Tafida.

Prof Gana should respond to this oft-repeated allegation that he signed bail for Boko Haram terrorists. There is no teaching in Christianity to attack other religious practices.
