Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, Vice President of Nigeria
In September 2019 I tweeted the following to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
Usman DAN Fodio, Leader of the Jihad
As Nigerians there are certain qoutes and statements that we must enshrine and entrench in our spirits, minds and souls and that we must never forget if we really want to know where we are coming from, where we are today and where we will be tomorrow.
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu
Below is my explosive interview with The Nigerian Express where we discussed Buhari, Tinubu, Osinbajo, Obasanjo, Awolowo, Jonathan, the North, the South, IPOB, the civil war and so much more!
Enjoy...
"2023: Tinubu will regret alliance with North" – Femi Fani- Kayode
Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, a former minister is a lawyer, essayist, poet and a political activist. He spoke to AKANI ALAKA on the contemporary political developments in Nigeria, relations among the ethnic groups in the country, the civil war, agitations for self-determination, the need to restructure the country, as well as the jostling for the 2023 presidency among politicians from the South, among other issues.
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?
Chief Remi Fani-Kayode
"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?
