Those who make peaceful change impossible make violent change inevitable – John F. Kennedy
As expected, my declaration of intent to begin targeting and eliminating Nigerian politicians, their collaborators and destroying properties belonging to them has elicited support on the one hand and harsh criticisms on the other one. I have even been accused of treason. However, my only surprise has been the fact that those who are vehemently opposed to my idea have woefully failed to explain why the forceful overthrow of an illegitimate regime amounts to treason or why the victim of violence is not entitled to employ force in self-defense in accordance with national and international laws.
To the extent that treason in this context means the violent overthrow of a legitimate government, is Yar Adua’s regime a legitimate one? Yar Adua and those who put and keep him in power are the real traitors. They have through electoral violence prevented the emergence of a people’s government. They have turned the system upside down to satisfy their own greed. They have declared war against the people and the country and the declaration of war against one’s country is treason. The conduct of Nigerian politicians, their collaborators and apologists is tantamount to a declaration of war against the people of Nigeria and the country itself. Their conduct has severely weakened the nation and now threatens its sovereignty and territorial integrity. Nigerians are therefore entitled to the legally recognized option of employing reasonable force in self-defense without seeking the approval of their tormentors. According to my good friend, when a treason trial becomes necessary, the first set of accused persons to take the dock should be the people who took over power in Nigeria without winning elections. We all know who they are. Advocating the most logical solution to Nigeria’s complicated problem cannot be treason.

It does not bother me how these politicians, their collaborators and apologists/online commentators like Chimdimma Onyeze, Deee, and Tope Fasua view my irrevocable decision. I have always known about their existence and were never the target of my declaration of intent. The target of my declaration is like-minded Nigerians who may wish to pull resources together and share knowledge and intelligence. There is no ambiguity about the requirement for elimination: participation in treasury looting or assisting those involved in treasury looting. Treasury looting is not an incurable disease. Those who do not want to be eliminated should quit treasury looting, return their loot, publicly declare their allegiance to the people and get out of the government or any supporting structure. The politicians and their collaborators have been put on notice of what is about to befall them and they have the option of quitting their nefarious activities or to await their annihilation. They cannot eat their cake and have it. People like Chimdimma Onyeze may consider this the most foolish or unworkable plan ever but I do not know why they are so worked up, scared and making multiple posts on SR to re-iterate their cowardly point. It maybe because Tope Fasua is one of the “egunje” bankers who will be targeted for elimination. One of the goals of my declaration is not to convince doubters or seek their approval. It is to provide advance notice to those who about to the eliminated as I begin the process of defending myself. If somebody comes up with a solution that does not include the use of force, that will be great. But until then, I am hell bent on my decision.
All attempts to effect a peaceful change in Nigeria have been resisted by the politicians and their collaborators due to their addiction to treasury looting. For those who see the elimination of politicians and their collaborators as treason, is it not treason when Iyabo Obasanjo and her gang share millions meant for hospitals that would benefit ordinary Nigerians? Is it not treason when young men and women are executed for petty stealing and our politicians and bankers connive to steal billions of depositors’ money to enable them live a life of luxury, send their children to foreign universities after destroying local ones? Is it not treason when each member of the National Assembly, many of whom can barely read or write, take home salaries and allowances in excess of N100 million a year while university professors can barely make ends meet from their meager salaries? Is it not treason when students are kept at home for months because the politicians will not adequately compensate the lecturers? Is it not treason when Nigerians die from otherwise curable diseases simply because appropriated funds have been stolen by politicians? Is it not treason when Tony Anenih turns our roads into death traps by stealing hundreds of billions meant for road construction and rehabilitation in the country? Is it not treason when the attorney-general of the federation employs the resources of the country in defense of those who have stolen billions from Nigerians and brought the country to its knees? Is it not treason when that gorilla look-like buffoon called Olusegun Obasanjo imposes a half-dead man on Nigerians through fraudulent elections? Is it not treason when an entire nation is rationing less than 3,000 megawatts of electricity after spending billions to buy darkness? Is it not judiciary sanctioned treason when a Nigerian court fines former governor Lucky Igbinedion N3.5 million naira for stealing billions belonging to the people of Edo state? The list is endless.
In my opinion, the controlled elimination of Nigerian politicians and their collaborators is a moral and economic imperative. I do not see anything wrong with the elimination of men and women who have stolen the dreams of more than 140 million Nigerians. The core oppressors number less than 10,000. Although the elimination of 10,000 people in order to save more than 140 million is an economically efficient and politically expedient option, it will take the killing of less than fifty (50) of them for things to start changing. I say this because these looters are cowards and the elimination of the first fifty will see many of them shamelessly jetting out to the safety of other countries, including Ghana. If anyone is in doubt that the elimination of politicians and their collaborators will bring about desired change in Nigeria, they are advised to patiently wait. There is a Nigerian proverb that only cowards argue about their ability to win a wrestling contest when there is abundant space to prove it.
