Can President Breaks Silence Over Christian Killing by cobadit(m): 11:05am On Feb 03, 2017
Yesterday at 10:19am REV Samson OA Ayokunle, PhD went on his facebook page to break silence over the killing of Christians in Nigeria


"Christian Association of Nigeria
Nothing sums up the dangerous way in
which the DSS is handling the Apostle
Johnson Suleman affair better than the
words of the Southern Kaduna-based Pastor
Owojaye Matthew. He said, "you want to
arrest Christian clergymen who asked
Christians to defend themselves against
killer FULANI Herdsmen while you allow
hundreds of foreign FULANI herdsmen
invading Nigeria to kill and maim CHRISTIANS
and take over their lands! DSS, tread softly!
Do not play into the hands of chaos! We are
waiting for DSS to arrest the kill and go
FULANI herdsmen!"
The Buhari administration is literally playing
Russian roullete with this matter. They are
playing with fire and it may well end up
burning them badly and consumming the
whole of Nigeria. They are sitting on a keg
of gunpowder and it may well end up
blowing up in their faces.
Owojaiye's point is as pertinent as it is clear.
His counsel to the DSS is unassailable and
timely.
They would do well to take his advice, leave
Suleman alone and, instead of harrasing
him, go after those who commit mass
murder, ethnic cleansing and genocide
against northern Christians at the drop of a
hat and those who encourage, incite and
pay them to do it.
In this respect let us consider the words of
the President-General of Nigeria's Supreme
Council for Islamic Affairs, His Eminence,
Mohammed Sa'ad Abubakar, the Sultan of
Sokoto.
On 24th July 2016 he called on Muslims to
fight anybody or any group that attempts to
stop them from performing their religious
obligations. He said,
"Fight those who seek to stop you from
practising Islam. The only thing that will
make me to act or ask you to act is only
when somebody or a group or some other
nations decide to stop us from performing
our religious obligations. That is the only
way we can fight somebody.” (The Daily
Trust).
These words are not only ominous but also
sinister. The question for His Eminence and
all those that share his views and
disposition, and I ask it respectfully, is
precisely who is stopping the Muslims of
Nigeria from "practising Islam" and
"performing their religious obligations?"
Is his warning and veiled threat not
dangerous and uneccessary? Is this
misguided and misplaced missive not the
motive and primary catalyst for the
unprecedented and unprovoked attacks that
the Christian community in northern Nigeria
are being subjected to today?
Is this not the ethos and mindset of those
who love to spill Christian blood and crush
Christian bones?
Do such words not appear to be like manna
from heaven and a source of great
inspiration and encouragement to the
radical islamic terrorists and Fulani ethnic
supremacists in our midst? Is this not a clear
case of incitement to violence?
If the Department of State Security (DSS) can
attempt to arrest and later invite the fiery
evangelical Apostle Johnson Suleman of
Omega Fire Ministries simply for calling on
Christians to defend themselves when they
are attacked by Fulani militias, why should
they not arrest the Sultan of Sokoto for his
comments as well?
If Miyetti Allah, the umbrella group of the
Fulani militia, and other Muslim groups and
Fulani leaders can call for the arrest of Rev.
Samson Olasupo Ayokunle, the President of
the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN)
and other clerics simply because they asked
Christians to defend themselves from what
can only be described as mass murder and
genocide, why can't we Christians demand
that the Sultan of Sokoto, the leader of
Nigeria's northern Muslims, be arrested for
his inciting words as well?
Is what is good for the goose not good for
the gander? Do Muslim lives matter more
than Christian ones in President
Muhammadu Buhari's Nigeria?
Are Christians expected to behave like
quislings and cowards and hide under the
bed shivering in silence when Muslim
leaders speak or threaten them?
Are Christians second class citizens in
Nigeria? Is it not better to be killed and die
as free men than to live as worthless slaves
or second class citizens in our own country?
All over the northern part of the country
Christians are being targetted, slaughtered
and butchered and not one person has
been arrested, detained or cautioned by our
government for these heinous crimes
against humanity and these clear cases of
ethnic and religious cleansing.
Are the lives of those defenceless and
innocent Christian men, women and
children that were brutally massacred some
kind of sacrifice to a strange and demonic
deity or entity?
Are those that kill in this gruesome and
heartless manner and those that secretly
encourage such killings and turn a blind eye
to them really Muslims? Are they even
human beings or are they just beasts?
I ask these questions because the apparant
indifference of our government to the plight
of the northern Christians and their
conspiratorial collusion with the forces of
darkness that perpetuate these evil, ungodly
and barbaric acts against them shocks and
appauls me.
Muslim clerics and leaders all over the north
pronounce inciting words every day in the
sanctity of their mosques and the Fulani
Emirs appear to endorse those words yet
no-one has called any of them to order. This
madness has been going on for years and
yet few are prepared to confront it.
The indifference of most northern Muslim
leaders towards this matter is troubling and
nauseating me. It appears that those that kill
Christians in the north have some sort of
immunity from the law.
For example there was a particular Fulani
prince who was involved in the gruesome
public beheading of a Christian man from
Benue state by the name of Gideon Akaluka
in Kano in the mid-1990's long before he
became an Emir.
The Fulani Prince was hidden in a Sokoto
prison for two years after all those that
organised the killing with him were extra-
judicially executed by security forces on the
orders of the then Head of State, General
Sani Abacha.
After his release the matter was closed and
the prince not only flourished but he also
went from strength to strength until he
became an Emir!
That is how skewered the system is and that
is the level of injustice and sheer madness
that Christians have been subjected to over
the years in Nigeria. Instead of facing
justice, those that commit such atrocities
appear to be rewarded by the state for their
barbarity and evil.
Again in October, 2011 the Sultan of Sokoto
delivered a lecture at Harvard University in
the United States of America and, amongst
many other things, said,
"I do not recognize any Nigerian
constitution and the only constitution I
recognize is the Koran."
As the cerebral young Yoruba nationalist Mr.
Adeyinka Adebayo rightly asked,
"if Pastor Enoch Adeboye, Pastor David
Oyedepo, Pastor Ayo Oritsajafor, Archbishop
Olubunmi Okogie, in the name of their
beliefs in the Bible as having the final say in
their affairs, go about with such flatulence,
would it be acceptable and exemplary?"
Adebayo has asked a pertinent question. If
Prophet Temitope Joshua, Dr. Daniel Olukoya,
Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah, Dr. B.O.
Ezekiel, Rev. Musa Asake, Bishop Mike
Okonkwo, Pastor Bosun Emmanuel, Rev.
Emmanuel Kure, Rev. Ladi Thompson, Pastor
Paul Adefarasin, Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo or
any of the other notable clerics in Nigeria
had said that they do not recognise the
Nigerian constitution and that the only
constitution that they recognise is the Holy
Bible would all hell not have broken loose?
Up until today the slaughter that comes as a
consequence of such irresponsible and
hateful sentiments and incitement
continues.
Yet when the Islamist terrorists and
Jihadists start killing Christians and Shiite
Muslims as a consequence of such
incendiary expressions the Buhari
government does and says absolutely
nothing to discourage or stop it.
Worse still the entire nation maintains a
stoic and submissive silence as if it were
totally bewitched by some deep voodoo
magic and dark Luciferian spell.
Virtually everyone appears to have been
frozen into silence in the country and the
spirit of fear has gripped most of our
leaders and captured their spirits and souls.
The killing of Christians on a daily basis all
over the north has now become the norm
and it is getting worse by the day.
Yet no-one seems to care and some,
including that devilish little imp in Kaduna
state that delights in shedding Christian
blood, even relish it and boast about it.
808 Christians were slaughtered in
Southern Kaduna on Christmas eve and
Christmas day by Fulani militias and no
arrests were made.
1000 Christians were killed in Agatu, Benue
state last year by Fulani militants and no
arrests were made.
253 Christians were bombed to death at an
IDP camp in Borno state two weeks ago by a
mad Muslim Air Force pilot and no arrests
were made.
1000 Shiite Muslims were slaughtered by
the Sunni-Muslim controlled Nigerian army
at the end of 2015 and no arrests were
made.
Thousands (yes THOUSANDS!!!) of Christian
Biafran youths and members of IPOB have
been slaughtered all over the south-east and
south-south by the Sunni-Muslim led
Nigerian security agencies since Buhari
came to power just under two years ago yet
no arrests have been made.
Christian political leaders and clerics are
being harrassed, detained, subjected to
torture, humiliated, maligned, threatened,
coerced and forced to step down as heads
of their Churches by the creation and
implementation of bogus, absurd and self-
seving laws and yet no-one is there to
defend them.
Relevant here are the words of the man of
the moment, President Donald J. Trump. He
said,
"Christians in the Middle-East have been
executed in large numbers. We cannot allow
this horror to continue!"
If only he knew what the Christians of
northern Nigeria were being subjected to
he would accept the fact that what is
happening to Christians in the Middle East is
nothing but child's play. May God help us all."

Finally, CAN has found her voice. DSS is yet to question any muslim cleric but they dared kidnapping after threatening Christian priests. This is what I've been saying for many years now. Have I not been vindicated? Some fearful Christians will be saying 'for the interest of peace, let's tolerate murderers'. Then I ask; doesn't tolerance have a limit? Chiefly among them is that sell out called Rochas Okorocha. An indigene of his state was murdered openly and all he could mutter was that her blood is a price for unity. Imagine the nonsense. How I wish his own blood would be spilled too for the interest of peace. Those Christians who lythergically encourage docility while muslims continue their jihad are not Christians because Christians are known to be their brothers' keepers. I want to state it categorically that their are more Christians in Nigeria than muslims. This is what the Muslim community fears so much and is doing all they can do cover up. I'll make it clear here so that all can agree. With all the muslim belligerence in Nigeria, they could only manage to clearly enforce sharia in 12 states out of the 36 states in Nigeria. Does this point something? Again, do you know that there are more indigenous Christians in the north than there are indigenous muslims in the south? In the whole of Southern Nigeria, only three states likely have more muslim population than Christians and they are namely: Osun, Oyo and Ogun(still not confirmed). The remaining are Christian dominated. In the north, like I mentioned earlier, sharia is only enforced in 12 states particularly from the NW & NE. The middlebelt is Christian dominated except states like Kwara and Niger. In the NW, Kaduna is Christian dominated but you will hardly believe. In the NE, Adamawa, Taraba and Gombe are Christian dominated too. Do the maths and the truth will be staring you in the face. Our docility has done us more bad than good.
While I see us all as black people who should put religion at the background and tackle poverty through conscious effort towards living in harmony and develop so we can shame our mockers from other races, it is regrettable that our northern brothers do not reason in such manner hence the present state of our lands. Its in the absence of such unity of purpose that I unequivocally support the dismemberment of this contraption for all man to pursue that which seems more expedient to him since the Christians are so scared to join forces and stop the madness of the muslims and take Nigeria to a greater height.
Finally, kudos to CAN for waking up. Its not too late to stop the muslims from the further extermination of Christians and their communities. Enough is enough.
