American Senator Ted Cruze is the joker of the century.
He is the AIPAC-sponsored village idiot and asinine fool who says he wants to save Nigerian Christians from what he has described as ‘Christian genocide’ whilst three others, namley House of Representatives member Congressman Riley Moore, House of Representatives member Congressman Chris Smith and American Secretary of State Senator Marc Rubio, are his happy cheerleaders.
An Israel-loving, genocide-enabling, Muslim-hating, Zionist-pampering and Gaza-slaughtering Yankee hill-billy who supports a cruel, leperous, lawless, racist, extremist, bigoted, arrogant, vile, land-grabbing, child-killing, rogue, pariah and deluded apartheid state with an all-conquering colonial mentality and who has nothing but contempt for Arabs, Asians and Africans, whether Christian or Muslim, is telling us that he will help to solve our problems and save the Christian population in Nigeria?
He alleges Christian genocide in a country where the Chief of Defence Staff, the Chief of Army Staff, the Chief of Navy Staff, the Chief of Defence Intelligence, the Inspector General of Police, the Director General of the DSS, the Chairman of the EFCC, the Comptroller General of Immigration and so many more heads of our security and intelligence agencies are headed by Christians?
He alleges Christian genocide in a country whose President has a wife that is not only a Christian but also a Pastor?
He alleges Christian genocide in a country where every single Governor from the South and a good number of Governors from the North Central zone are Christian?
He alleges Christian genocide in a country where the Senate President, the Secretary to the Federal Government and the National Chairman of the ruling party are Christian?
He alleges Christian genocide in a country whose Federal Government on assumption of office two years ago removed the great injustice that existed for the previous 8 years in which every single head of our 17 security and intelligence agencies and every single operational head of our Armed Forces was a Northern Muslim?
Under such circumstances the charge of “Christian genocide” and that Nigeria is “the most dangerous place in the world for Christians to live” seems hardly sustainable. As a matter of fact it sounds utterly absurd.
Who in our Armed Forces and security and intelligence agencies pulls the trigger on the Christians and who gives the orders for them to be singled out for genocide whilst the Muslims are left unscathed and untouched? Is it the Christians that head most of those institutions that are doing so?
I doubt it and neither has it happened. Ironically, to my recollection, it was only on one occassion that the Nigerian Armed Forces specifically targetted and killed over 1000 Nigerians in one day simply because they blocked a road and on account of their faith and the victims were not Christians but rather Shia Muslims and members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN).
This terrible incident occurred in Zaria, Kaduna state in December 2015 eight years before the inception of the Tinubu administration and under the watch of the previous Chief of Army Staff General Tukur Burutai.
In truth if any religious group in our country has the right and legitimate reason to complain to the world that they have been singled out for elimination by the state in the last twenty years it is the Shia Muslims who have suffered mass murder in the hands of both Muslim and Christian leaders.
This begs the following question: have Christians been targetted and massared in Nigeria over the years and the answer is “yes” and a chilling and horrendous example is the massacre of Christians in four local Government areas in Southern Kaduna on December 25th 2016 in which no less than 808 Christians were targetted and killed in one day!
The difference here though is that firstly those massacres were perpetuated by non-state actors and savage ethnic militias and certainly not by our security agencies and secondly the same group committed similar atrocities against Muslim communities too.
Both Muslims and Christians are still being massacred by those same non-state actors and savage ethnic militias today and our Armed Forces are engaging them in the field of battle and killing them in greater numbers than ever before.
Their attacks are not against Christians alone but against the Nigerian state and against men, women and children of all faiths.
That is the point that is lost on our Yankee crusaders and their supporters in Nigeria and I am glad that the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has rightly put a lie to the absurd and dangerous notion that what we are witnessing in our country is “Christian genocide” and have finally laid the matter to rest. The truth is we do not need a misguided and mischevous white-skinned religious zealot and deluded wannabe Messiah from Texas to save us.
By the power of God the Great and in the name of the Ancient of Days and the Lord of Hosts we shall save and deliver ourselves from the murderous psycopaths and homicidal barbarians that are butchering our people and that have afflicted our land and we shall protect both the Christians and Muslims in our country that are being slaughtered on a daily basis by the Janjaweed hordes from Mordor and the western-backed terrorists of ISWAP and Boko Haram.
Whether Christian or Muslim we are first and foremost Nigerians and there is no division between us on religious lines.
Our common enemy are the terrorists and those that covertly empower, aid and support them from outside our shores and not one another and we shall fight them as one!Senator Ted Cruz and his colleagues and compatriots including Rep.
Chris Smith, who has called on President Donald Trump to “arm Christian communities in Nigeria and to bomb Muslim ones”, Rep. Riley Moore who has alleged that Nigeria is the “dedliest place on earth for Christians” and urged Trump to designate our nation as “a country of particular concern”, Senattor Marco Rubio, who has been supporting all three in their nefarious endeavours and who has backed Moore strongly in his quest to ensure that our country is formally designated as one of concern and all the other members of the mischevous, misguided and misinformed cabal of Yankee crusaders and congress of fools, stand warned!
Your jaundiced and delusional perspective, which is rooted in a crass and vulgar display of ignorance and arrogance, defies logical and rational reasoning when it comes to the affairs of our nation and it must come to an end.
You are biting off more than you can chew and the consequences of your bullish and irresponsible behaviour and your mendacious categorisations and characterisations, if unchecked, will ultimately affect American vital and strategic interests not just in Nigeria but in the entire West African sub-region which remains our backyard and firmly under the sphere of our influence.
Stop misrepresenting our situation, leave our country alone and stop trying to provoke chaos and ignite a religious war.
You cannot love us more than we love ourselves! You are part of the problem and not the solution!It is true that Christians are being killed in large numbers in Nigeria but it is NOT true to say that Muslims are not being killed in equal numbers.
There are over 110 million Christians in Nigeria and there can be no denying the fact that they have suffered immensely over the years in the hands of terrorists. They have been subjected to mass murder, ethnic cleansing, torture, persecution, vilification and marginalisation for decades particularly in parts of the North.
I would not deny that and I have opposed it and spoken out against it for the better part of my adult life. Where you have got it wrong though is that this does not translate into “Christian genocide” simply because the Muslims in Nigeria, who are also 110 million strong, are suffering precisely the same things at the hands of the same people.
They have also been subjected to mass murder, ethnic cleansing, torture, persecution, vilification, marginalisation and in some cases even cannibalism in some parts of the North.
That does not however translate to “Muslim genocide” because these terrible atrocities that are being unleashed are not limited to Muslims.
Both faiths have suffered immeasurably in Nigeria over the years and members of both faith have been subjected to genocide. The terrorists that perpetuate this great evil make no distinction between their victims on religious grounds.
They wipe out Christian communities, take their land, enslave their women and children and desecrate and burn down their Churches and they mete out precisely the same treatment to our Muslim compatriots, Muslim communities and Mosques as well.
I repeat for the purpose of emphasis that what we are witnessing in Nigeria is not a genocide against Muslims or a genocide against Christians but a genocide against us all.
To couch or describe it in any other way as a consequence of ignorance or mischief is most unhelpful and darn-right dangerous and could ignite a full scale religious war the likes of which the world has never witnessed.
We need to tread very carefully indeed and we need to scrutinise the motivations of the Americans and view with the utmost suspicion their new found love for our Christian population. As they say, “beware of the Greeks when they bring gifts!”. Ancient Troy learnt the hard way: let us hope that we learn from their lesson.
To the Yankees I say the following. If you want to talk about genocide in Nigeria then talk about the genocide of ALL Nigerians, both Christians and Muslims, at the hands of a group of vile and unconciable terrorists who are throughly evil and who represent no faith.
To call it “Christian genocide” and not the “genocide of all Nigerians” betrays the fact that you have an evil agenda and not so hidden motive. No matter how hard you try you shall not divide or destroy us.
You will not plunge us into a second round of fratricidal butchery and civil war which will undoubtedly result in the massive bloodletting and carnage that you so desperately seek.
