“The scales shall fall from your eyes.”It was indeed a grand delusion – the decision of the Middle Belt and some elements in the Niger Delta to align with the Hausa/Fulani oligarchs and the Sokoto Caliphate. But Mr. Goni how are you sure that your folks including you are still not laboring under the yoke of that grand delusion even as you write?
“The scales shall fall from your eyes.”It was indeed a grand delusion – the decision of the Middle Belt and some elements in the Niger Delta to align with the Hausa/Fulani oligarchs and the Sokoto Caliphate. But Mr. Goni how are you sure that your folks including you are still not laboring under the yoke of that grand delusion even as you write?
Isn’t it your folks who like hyenas have eaten Nigeria – flesh, blood and bones and basked in the grand illusion that their stolen wealth; the money, resources and personal property they stole, robbed, and looted from the Igbo and their brothers in the Eastern Region will guarantee their freedom from Hausa Fulani enslavement when the jihadist onslaught arrives at their doorstep? Didn’t Theophilus Danjuma recently brag that he raked in 500 million dollars profit from just one piece of land [which he calls oil block] he seized and appropriated from the rightful owners in the Niger Delta in the Eastern Region?
It is gratifying to note that some of your people are now rediscovering their identity, their heritage. May be in future you’ll also discover your lineage, your consanguinity with the Jukun, Tiv, Igbo, Idoma, Ibibio, and Ijaw. Yes, Islamic Jihad did not conquer Jos area then. May I ask you, when the British colonialists sought to establish the odious Apartheid system in Jos as they did in South Africa, who organized the resistance that stopped them? Was it Ahmadu Bello, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, or J.S. Tarkar? No. It was Nnamdi Azikiwe, an Igbo man. When the Caliphate Nigerian Army sought to slaughter Tiv people in the infamous Tiv Riots of 1962, three senior army officers refused to lead the battalions that Ahmadu Bello and Abubakar Tafawa Balewa had chosen to carry out the massacre. Do you know who these officers are and why they refused to carry out the order? All of them are Igbo and they refused because they believed that the war against the Tiv was unjust and they saw no reason to slaughter their blood relatives. Was it not the same people the Igbo saved from extermination at the hands of the Hausa Fulani oligarchs and the Sokoto Caliphate that formed the core of the officer corps and enlisted men that the same Caliphate used to commit horrific genocide against Biafrans – Yakubu Gowon, John Shagaya, Domkat Bali, T.Y. Danjuma, B.S Dimka, I. D. Bissala, David Mark, Ochefu, Useni, Onoja, etc. What was their justification for being willing instruments in the hands of the Caliphate to commit the worst genocide ever in the history of Africa against the Igbo and their brothers in the Eastern Region? Was it ignorance, greed or sheer stupidity?
It is quite telling how you profess to have lived in peace with your Muslim Hausa Fulani neighbors. Yes, you did – but your peaceful co-existence was organized around the pathological symbiotic arrangement you had with the Caliphate – the Caliphate desired to destroy the assertive, recalcitrant, non-conforming Easterners especially the Igbo; your people acquiesced to be willing instruments that the Caliphate will use in this dastardly design. So you willingly participated in the slaughter of 100,000 innocent civilians of Eastern Nigeria all over Northern Nigeria from Sokoto to Makurdi in 1966. You looted the money and personal property of the Easterners and chased two million of them out of Northern Nigeria back to their homeland in Eastern Nigeria. Then your people became the arrowhead of the genocide, the starving to death of two million children and pregnant women of Biafra from 1967 to 1970 – the worst genocide ever in the history of Africa. For your villainous acts the Caliphate rewarded your people with numerous goodies – scholarships, plum jobs in the civil service, armed forces, judiciary, police, companies, etc. Your people became choirboys singing the mantra of “North for Northerners, East for Easterners, and West for Westerners – One North! One North!! One North!!! “
With the Easterners destroyed and sidelined the Caliphate has now turned on you. You talk about genocide but you never mentioned the genocide you committed on Biafrans. Notice that you never once mentioned the word “Biafra” in your six page essay. You correctly stated that the problem in Jos and the entire Plateau is that the Hausa Fulani want to take your land. Do you remember the warning Biafrans gave to the people of the Middle Belt and the Niger Delta in 1967 – that the Caliphate is only after your land not your prosperity. Biafrans warned about Arab Muslim expansionism and Islamic Fundamentalism. Go to your nearest library and read the “Ahiara Declaration, The Declaration of Biafra, and Selected Speeches of C. Odumegwu Ojukwu.” Biafrans warned you about everything you are seeing now. It is going to get worse, much worse. If anyone told Gowon that in his lifetime he will be fighting to keep his father’s ancestral land from Arab Muslim expansionism, would he believe it? The same thing is going to happen to T. Y. Danjuma. Churches were recently burned in Nassarawa Egon and several communities south of Jos – Bukuru, Barkin Ladi and Miangu; few montha ago in Shendam. Biafra radio predicted the attack on Yelwa before it happened. Tiv nationals were killed and sacked from several towns in Nassarawa State a year ago. Our sympathy goes out to the poor Birom natives who were slaughtered yesterday, Sunday, March 7, 2010.
In your essay you talked about forming an alliance with the South-South. That’s great. Continue to run away from reality. Sorry, you still have to deal with the Igbo, the ubiquitous Igbo. But the weight of your guilt relating to the Biafra genocide committed by your people has become heavier than a millstone around your neck. Someday you’ll do the right thing. Until then we wish you luck. Always remember that those who approach the hall of justice must do so with clean hands. Thank you.
