For any nation to kill 3 million civilians in the name of war or anything else is unacceptable and barbaric. It is a bestial act, a war crime and a crime against humanity.
No matter how just or righteouss your cause may be even the heavens will cry against such a bestial and cruel act. It is only hell that will applaud it. Where was our sense of decency and mercy during that civil war?

"Nigeria is not one and has never been one. It is a 'state of nations' and not a 'nation-state'. The traitors in the south are heroes in the north whilst the heroes in the south are traitors in the north. The value system of the north is totally opposite to that of the south. The lenses through which we see justice and equity can never be the same. The Nigerian state is the tragedy of 20th century in Africa"- Aare Kurunmi Kakanfo, "Nigeria Is Burning", Facebook, 30th September 2019.
Sheikh Usman Dan Fodio
In 2014 Alhaji Aliyu Gwarzo wrote a lot of derogoratory and insulting things about President Goodluck Jonathan, the Middle Belt and the South which caused a stir, which shook the nation and which went viral.
He is a northern irredentist and hegemonist and in my view he speaks the mind of many Fulanis. I responded to him in a series of essays in 2014 but amazingly everything he said would happen in 2015 actually happened. Jonathan was rigged out and since then a rabidly pro-north, pro-Muslim and pro-Fulani agenda has been unleashed on Nigeria by Buhari.
Most Southerners are still in denial but I am not. And neither am I fearful. I know what is going and I shall resist it with every fibre of my being.
Abaddon, the Prince of destruction hovers over our nation. Magog, the prince of war marches towards our shores. Asmodeus, the prince of suffering and death beats his drums over our country.
Belial, Leviathan and Astoreth, the three Crown Princes of Hell, are knocking at our door.
"We cannot stop the xenophobic attacks. The truth is that we are an angry nation. What is happening cannot be prevented by any Government."- Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula, Minister of Defence, South Africa.
Yet another insulting, provocative and irresponsible statement from a senior figure in the South African Government.
First it was their Minister of Police who said that in some towns in South Africa the population was 80% foreign and that they could not take it anymore.
President Cyril Ramaphosa of South Africa
"I would appreciate them in helping us as well to address the belief our people have and the reality that there are many persons from Nigeria dealing in drugs in our country"- Dr. Grace Naledi Mandisa Pandor, South African Minister of International Relations.
Is this the sort of thing that ought to be said by the South African Governmrnt when we are still in mourning and when we have not even buried our compatriots that were cruelly slain, bludgeoned to death and cut to pieces in the streets of South Africa?
As I was about to enter the hall to deliver my speech at the Anaedoonline 1st year Anniversary Lecture in Nnewi, Anambra state yesterday my lawyer and a member of my delegation, Mr. Ifeanyi Ejiofor, and I were approached by the DSS and told that he must not attend the event.
They said that if he insisted on attending the occassion with me the venue would be sealed up and the entire event would be stopped and not allowed to hold.
They said they had orders from Abuja to stop him from attending because, apart from being my lawyer, he is also the lawyer to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB.
Poetry is the language of the gods and the vocal expression of the inner spirit. It is pure. It is clean. It is energising. It is invigorating. Like caviar, it is an acquired taste that is only for those that are refined, enlightened and sophisticated enough to appreciate it.
That is why it thrives and is reverred in only the most advanced of nations and cultures. Essentially it is about passion: the passion to love, to fight, to survive, to overcome and to excel.
The Bible says "knowledge is power". It also says "know the truth and it will set you free".
This is made all the more important given the fact that history is not taught in Nigerian schools.
Let us join hands and walk down the beautiful path of knowledge, truth and history together. Our focus and subject-matter for today is the Fulani tribe of northern Nigeria.
The Fulani are only partially African and only partly negroid. They are the product of cross-breeding between the Taurags, Berbers and Arabs of north Africa on the one hand and the local black African women of Futa Jalon, Guinea in west Africa, on the other.
SEN. Ike Ekweremadu
What happened to my friend and brother Senator Ike Ekweremadu in Nuremberg, Germany at the hands of IPOB is an eye-opener and a clear signal to every political leader in southern Nigeria! The people of the south are getting angry and you either stand up and defend them or stand aside!
It takes courage to stand for those that have been unjustly killed in Nigeria. It takes courage to say "no" and to stand up against injustice in a jungle. It takes courage to identify and empathise with the enslaved, the oppressed, the poor, the vulnerable and the weak in a killing field and functional zoo.
Yet we must all do it or stop laying claim to being called leaders. When your people and kinsmen are being turned into worthless slaves with little hope for the future and when they are being slaughtered like flies simply because they are southerners and Middle Belters or because of their faith and you say and do next to nothing then somewhere along the line a price has to be paid.
