The former minister of aviation Femi Fani-
Kayode in this new piece
addresses the various issues
that made headline in the
Nigerian media this past week. Fani-Kayode in the first part of
this opinion piece writes on the
challenges the nation is
currently facing including the
crossfire between the new
leader of the dreaded Boko Haram terrorists and the Niger
Delta youth over threats made
on Christians by the terrorist. The new leader of Boko Haram, Abu Musab al-Barnawi The new leader of Boko Haram,
Abu Musab al-Barnawi “If Boko Haram kills Christians
and burns down churches, we
will slay Muslims and raze down
mosques. We want to warn
them that we, the Niger Delta
youths, in this 21st century will not accept the killing of
innocent Christians or the
burning of churches. That if
they try it in the north or any
part of Nigeria, we the Niger
Delta youths will not see any Muslim or mosque in the Niger
Delta”– Niger Delta
Revolutionary Crusaders,
Vanguard Newspaper, August 5,
2016. It is no longer news that the
new leader of Boko Haram, Mr.
Abu Musa Al Barnawi, who
apparently has the backing of
ISIS, has said that he will target
only Christians and burn down all the Churches in the country. He has also said that Muslims
and mosques will no longer be
targeted and that Mr. Abubakar
Shekau, the erstwhile leader
and principal voice of the terror
group, is no longer the leader. Mr. Shekau has responded by
saying that he will continue to
slaughter whoever he pleases
and that he remains the
authentic leader. There appears
to be a very serious rift in the ranks of Boko Haram which is
good news. As far as I am concerned the
two factions can do us all a
favour by destroying one
another and burning in hell. Anyone that targets Christians
and Churches, or indeed any
innocent civilians for slaughter,
is not worthy of life. They are
nothing but vermin and, like the
cockroaches that they are, they must be crushed. READ ALSO: Fani Kayode writes open letter: Shame on you
Christians; Islamisation agenda
has been achieved! Mr. Shekau is evil but Mr. Al
Barnawi is even worse: he is
the devil incarnate. He
represents ISIS and we all know
what that means. Whichever way we look at it
and whatever is going on within
the ranks of Boko Haram we
must not loose sight of the
bigger picture. And that bigger
picture points to one thing: Nigeria is in a mess. Quite apart from the poverty
and hardship that has afflicted
the land coupled with the total
destruction of the economy and
quite apart from the shattering
of peoples dreams and the drastic reduction in their
standard of living by the
ineffectual and barren fiscal and
economic policies of an inept
and incompetent government,
our President did not stop there. He also went as far as to
appoint as his minister of sports
a man who is clearly (to use
Donald Trump’s words about
Hilary Clinton)“unbalanced and unhinged”. This is a man that can barely
speak English and who, during
the week of the Olympics,
publicly referred to our country
as “the United States Of
Nigeria” whilst reprimanding our Olympic football team for
getting stuck in America and
arriving late in Brazil. Someone should tell Honorable
Minister Solomon Dalung that it
was HIS job to get our boys to
Rio De Janeiro on time and that
it was something of a scandal
and a national embarrasment that it took the last minute
intervention and assistance of
Delta Air, a private American
airline, to get them there in
time for their match with Japan. The Sports minister Solomon Dalung The Sports minister, Solomon
Dalung Whilst our boys did us proud by
going on to defeat Japan and
later Sweden, the video of the
Minister disparaging them and
spouting nonsense about some
fictitious and imaginary country called ‘the United States of
Nigeria’ whilst wearing his
ridiculous red beret went viral
on the internet. A fool goes by
no other name. In normal climes the Minister
would have been forced to
resign the following day and he
would have been compelled to
apologise to the nation that he
is purportedly serving for forgetting its name. Sadly
though there is nothing that is
“normal” about Nigeria or the
Buhari administration. Equally abysmal was the recent
outing of Governor Babatunde
Raji Fashola, President Buhari’s
“super Minister” of Power,
Works and Housing, on BBC
TV’s Hardtalk. Before millions of viewers from
all over the world, the Minister
told his host Mr. Stephen
Sackhur a shameless and
pernicious lie by claiming that he
never promised Nigerians an increase in power generation
and supply. Get more news at http://davesblog.over-blog.com/2016/08/the-niger-delta-crusaders-the-muslim-pilgrims-and-the-united-states-of-nigeria-part-1-ffk.html
