First, examine the messenger. Take the street corner prophets, who are quickly dismissed as the lunatic fringe , whose congregation consists of an indifferent mass of pedestrians and daily commuters avoiding eye contact with  the rabid  preacher as they make their way to their daily calling. Historically, with respect to predictions of impending doom, we have regarded with some amusement the rabid utterances of the lunatic fringe as, over the decades and centuries, they have crawled from their hideouts to stand on street corners to warn the world of an impending doom and of some coming apocalyptic and cataclysmic event that will leave only smoke and ashes.

Our reactions to these dire predictions served us well. Most of us used the reasonable level of intelligence we were gifted with and combined the same with healthy conversation, debate and a little research to estimate the credibility of the dusty prophets and likelihood of the world exploding into smithereens at a particular time and date, and save a few gentle, easily impressed souls, went on about their business and were, miraculously, alive the day after doomsday was supposed to roll in.

Conversely, it seems on the larger scale, on a scale of mass murder, on a scale of genocide, on a scale of an emerging totalitarian monsters, we are not only casually indifferent but seemingly striped of all ability to produce critical analysis of the threat we face. It seems that the larger the threat we face the greater our stupidity and indifference.

With respect to this casual indifference, age old and utterly predictable facets of human nature are at play. The same facets that brought forth giggles among the population when warned of an impending world wide flood. The same facets that brought forth sleepy regard when warned about the true intent of the SS as their boots rang a little louder on the cobblestones of Europe. The same facets that regard the hallmarks of an emerging murderous totalitarian and brutal Caliphate with salubrious welcome, completely indifferent to the gory and sordid tales of mass killings and degradation of humanity from where we only utter our condemnation after streaming and watching one of their gory beheading videos. Nowadays, the Caliphate's ever growing atrocities and sins do not seem to trouble us. Their butchery has in effect done more than merely terrorize us but seems to have desensitized us to the point that we have lost all empathy for their victims. With a lack of empathy , an indifference arises and  with that we lose our sense of justice and with that the butchers in ISIL, Boko Haram and their rampaging Fulani allies walk free only to strike another day and with every blood spilt their evil empire expands closer and closer to us.

We warned you.

We that gave the same warnings prior to the elections about what exactly a Buhari candidacy and electoral victory portends for our polity were mistaken as politically malicious and partisanly motivated. This is in-spite of  how the APC propaganda machinery slandered, lied , mocked , rigged, terrorized and even blackmailed their way  into the very high office.  But you still refused to see the handwriting on the wall warning you to not be swept up in the mad euphoria of "change" and hero worship - all hallmarks that ushers in a tyrannt. 

Now that warning has elapsed (for we are beyond that stage), what is left is to remind  and validate those earlier fears by pointing out what seemed once as callous prophecy.

So look now to those who were warning you and their prophecy . Have their "callous" and "politically malicious" warnings stood the test in these past few months? Is Nigeria a better united democratic nation under the regime of change?


In science, correlation is not always the same thing as causation.  It is within this restricted rational and logical restrains that some enligthened people were persuaded to let their guard down. Today, the class of those rational opposers to our warnings have now seen their folly exposed by Buhari's own tyrannical and slant corruption crusade.  Majority of the rest dismissed our warnings due to their infatuation on concentrating on sweeping the last occupant of Aso Rock out without pausing to take a critical look at whom they were set to replace Jonathan with.

These days they call us wailers, similarly dismissed as one doomsday roadside preacher.

When will you zombies finally wake up from your foolish slumber?

Omenka, do you remember my Shmitta Warning?

Do you remember your 7yr famine?

Do you remember "Operation 12 Monkeys"?

If you do, then you will see it wasn't a mere ranting but an exact and precise prediction of what will befall you nigerians.

I am about to write on the "Great Purge" that will commence in early 2017 and how your Tinubu master will end up in Jail after God's wrath finally descends on your satanic govt.
