written by Obinna Akukwe


download (1)
The shameless sale of Igbo presidency and Igbo interests by Ohaneze to the highest bidder has attracted the frank opprobrium of Senator Uche Chukwuerije. In a submission he sent to the Igbo Elders, South East Governors, and members of the 11 man committee set-up by the South East Governors on 27th January towards resolving the Ohaneze  crisis,  Chukwumerije warned that as 2015 approaches, there will be more massive attempts to bribe the body .
 A copy of his submission was given to Rev Obinna Akukwe the  Director of Media of General Assembly of all Igbo Christian Organizations and Ministers (GAAICOM), and one of the initiations of the exclusive two year tenure extension granted to the late President of the body, Ambassador Raph Uwechue, the misuse of which has brought crisis to the body. This document, meant for the South East Governors, Elders and Clergy was made public in April 2013 by the authority of Igbo Bishops and Pastors under the aegis of GAAICOM and exclusive permission of Senator Chukwumerije. The Senator was also advised to also make it a public document for posterity purposes, which he later did.

Pastor Series 2: Chris Okotie – Apostolic incursion into Nigerian politics (Part 2)




Chris Okotie is the first cerebral pastor in Nigeria to make an apostolic incursion into Nigeria’s dirty presidential politics. In 2003 he contested under Justice Party, placing 8th out of 29 candidates with 119,547 votes. Okotie formed FRESH Democratic Party and used the FRESH platform to vie for the presidency of Nigeria in 2007 , netting in 74049 votes, coming 8th among 20 candidates.

Security report and some independent electoral observers believed that the actual figures of the elections shows that Okotie actually got up to a million votes in each occasion but the trio of Olusegun Obasanjo ( former president), Tony Anenih( political henchman) and Maurice Iwu ( electoral umpire) and their agents of votes manipulations were magnanimous enough to allow a percentage of his votes to count , in the infamous electoral system where votes are written in the houses of party chieftains while hapless voters optimistically embark on electoral merry go round in the polling stations. When Okotie failed to win the do or die electoral fraud, a lot of Pentecostal pastors derided him and asked him where his God was.

Pastor Series1: Tunde Bakare-Prophet of Church Revival and National Rebirth (Part 2)



Written by Obinna Akukwe    


Tunde Bakare is among the most controversial gospel ministers in Nigeria-this man who goes by title of a pastor, is obviously, by calling, a prophet of church and national revival. Tunde Bakare, a former legal adviser in Deeper Life Church, later became a pastor in Pastor Adeboye's Redeemed Christian Church of God until he left under controversial circumstances. 

Bakare is not the type of prophets who sees visions of color of women's underwear and the bank details of his congregations in GTB, UBA or even Chase Manhattan Bank. His prophetic prediction is sometimes faulty due to poor analysis of pieces of spiritual information- even Apostle Peter misinterpreted the time of the coming of Jesus Christ; therefore, a prophet who is in a hurry to release information of global nature might misinterpret the vision. This is the problem with Bakare's prophesies.

Yar’adua Wake Up! Nigeria is Boiling (part 3)






Written by Obinna Akukwe  


Yaradua! Wake Up! Nigeria is still boiling. I want to use this opportunity of commemorating the 5th year of your demise to tell you that you have slept enough. Since January , I counted the time till this day to wake you up as usual on this anniversary of your untimely sleep.

Yaradua wake up, lots has happened since I gave you the last public update in 2012.

Yaradua ,wake up, do you know that Muhammadu Buhari, your kinsman  that former your former godfather and  President Obasanjo helped you rig out in 2007 during the infamous ‘do or die’ electoral brigandage, has smuggled himself back to power through an election in which, despite hate campaigns, lies, misrepresentation of facts overheating of the polity and   heavy inducement of voters from the treasury of state,  he still emerged victorious.

Yar’adua ! Wake Up! Nigeria is Boiling (part 2)



Written by Obinna Akukwe  

Yar’adua , Nigeria’s fourth democratically selected president. Yar’adua , Nigeria’s most unassuming president. Yar’adua , Nigeria’s most frail president. Yar’adua , Nigeria’s most educated president .
 Yar’adua , Nigeria’s only president with leftist ideology. 

The manner of your exit equals the manner of your entrance. Mysterious appearance and mysterious disappearance. State Governors Peter Odili, Donald Duke, Sam Egwu, Ahmed Makarfi, even Jerry Gana and Rochas Okorocha were all in the presidential race of 2007 and from nowhere you appeared through Obasanjoic abracadabra and became the ruling party flag bearer. 

All the presidential aspirants except Rochas and Jerry were commandeered to genuflect before His Royal Ota majesty and accept the native intelligence that brought you to power. The ensuing presidential do or die abracadabra raised to power two made you the choice of the entire Nigerians while your Buhari opponent was left to weep the second time.

INEC Card Reader: Antagonists Not Working For Jesus Christ


Click for Full Image Size
Antagonists of the innovative method of curbing electoral corruption and rigging in Nigeria in the form of INEC Card readers cannot be working for Jesus Christ even if some of them bear Christian names and even preach in their churches. I have also been informed by some Muslim clerics who reacted to my recently released write up on INEC titled 'Prof Attahiru Jega, Hero of Nigeria's Democratic Innovations: Needs International Support Now, and Why Progressives Should Support Him' that though the Quran did not specifically mention rigging, however, it is against any form of robbery, if it is applied puritanically.

Therefore, all these Pastors, Bishops, Imams, Mallams who have enlisted in the campaign to stop Nigeria's electoral umpire , Attahiru Jega from using card readers to stop electoral fraud in Nigeria probably because he is an Hausa Man and Muslim, are just agents of Lucifer, Asmodeus, and Leviathan and will soon face the judgments of God.

Stolen!! $142 Billion Dollars Nigeria’s Oil Revenue In 5 Years – In The Midst Of National Poverty-Additional Financial Mathematics (Special Reports)





Click for Full Image Size
There is a financial mathematical inclination to believe that about N142 billion dollars (N28.4 trillion naira) have been missing under NNPC and allied institutions since the inception of Jonathan administration in 2010 in the midst of national poverty. Who stole it and where is it kept. Nigerians must demand to know those who embezzled $142 billion dollars (N28 trillion naira) in five years or else there is no hope for the future generations. This is far above the S20 billion dollars revealed as missing under the former Governor of Central Bank Sanusi Lamido who was fired exposing monumental corruption in the high places.

I have released a report last year March where using the benchmark of 45 months and excluding the stolen funds from excess crude account, the probable missing fund is S90 and $115 billion dollars. That time I deliberately chose to ignore some other corrupt indices in the oil sector. This report is to update the report of 2014 .

Prof Attahiru Jega: Hero of Nigeria’s Democratic Innovation-Needs Int’l Community Support Now

 


Prof Attahiru Jega has proven to be the hero of democratic innovations through the insistence on using card reader as means of authenticating voters in the upcoming 2015 elections, in a nation where satanic madness is raging over the transparent conduct of elections.

1n 1999, Prof Eme Awa was in charge of National Electoral Commission of Nigeria, saddled with conducting a free and fair election after God delivered Nigeria from the grip of the late dictator General Sanni Abacha. In the 1999 elections, Chief Olu Falae was rigged out by Chief Olusegun Obasanjo through the help of then military dictator Gen Abdulsalami Abubakar, former Military dictator Gen Ibrahim Babangida and multi millionaire businessmen like Former Governor of Abia State, Chief Orji Uzor Kalu.
In 2003, it was the turn of Edo born Sir Abel Goubadia to conduct election and he superintended a process whereby General Muhammadu Buhari, former military dictator and flag bearer of ANPP was rigged out with the help of Vice President Atiku Abubakar who gave President Obasanjo insight into how modern day vote robbery could be executed. In that election, Obasanjo who according to security reports came a distant third with Buhari (ANPP) and Odumegwu Ojukwu(APGA) leading, became the winner of the fraudulent election

Interim Govt Option and the N200 Billion($1Billion) Offer: What Tinubu Never Told Nigerians?



Bola Tinubu, the National Leader of the Nigeria's leading oppositionparty APC had revealed that Jonathan offered him a Vice Presidency slot underan Interim Govt arrangement, an offer he claimed to have rejected. Femi-FaniKayode, the Head of PDP Campaign Organization had refuted the story, sayingthat it is illusionary imaginations from Tinubu. However, I was personally intimatedof the Interim Govt offer to Tinubu by an equally top PDP chieftain who boastedjokingly that 'my Tinubu and Buhari' alliance will soon crumble

. This his allusionto 'my Tinubu and Buhari' is based on the fact that he knew that I publicly ledsome Bishops and that opposed the distribution of money to some of my pastorcolleagues on an anti Buhari sentiments and that I was among the people whoensured that some that collected that money did not sell Jesus to PDP. Ibelieve that the Gospel of Jesus is greater than PDP and APC and this party chieftain subscribes to this and my belief that the good, the bad and the uglyare found in both parties.

Re-elect Jonathan for United Nigeria“: Shagari’s Alleged Letter to Buhari


Click for Full Image Size
The allegedly controversial letter written by second republic President of Nigeria, Alhaji Shehu Shagari had continued to cause scare within the political gladiators in the North West. Sources within the Presidency had given the Leadership of Igbo Mandate Congress (IMC) a copy of Shagari's alleged letter to the Presidential Candidate of the opposition party, General Muhammadu Buhari on the 12th of January, 2015, the day Igbo leaders under Ohanaeze sneaked into Aso Rock for the first batch of endorsement of Jonathan's re-election bid. However, efforts by IMC leaders in Sokoto to get Shagari's views on the circulating letter proved abortive as his aides pleaded that the old man be left off the hate filled Buhari-Jonathan campaigns. However, events at Shagari's 90th Birthday where he reportedly endorsed Jonathan in secret and the grumblings of APC members in Sokoto State who accuses him of working against Northern interests may have lent credence to the letter.

N5Billion Scam on Jonathan: Igbo Leaders Condemns Ohanaeze


Click for Full Image Size
Igbo leaders in the nineteen northern states of Nigeria have continued to condemn the manner the National Executive of Ohanaeze Ndigbo scammed President Goodluck Jonathan of N5 billion naira in return for second term endorsement. They have threatened to expose the successive culture of corruption and betrayal of Ndigbo for pecuniary gains that has made the national body a disgrace to the South East.

Speaking with the Director General of Igbo Mandate Congress (IMC) Rev Obinna Akukwe in Abuja yesterday, the President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Kaduna State Chapter who is also the President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo in the 19 Northern States, Barrister A.C. Amechi described what Ohanaeze Ndigbo National Body did to President Jonathan as scam. According to him “ it is wickedness to scam an innocent man( Jonathan) of billions of naira , share it among yourselves and not remit a single kobo to any Ohanaeze Chapter in the North, yet you tell the man that all is in control among Igbos in the north” The obviously infuriated Igbo leader in the north stated further that “ for Jonathan to get sizeable votes in the north, he needs the mobilization of Ohanaeze Ndigbo who are the grassroots leaders and not these people sitting comfortably in the East and Abuja”  Barrister Amechi asked those who scammed the President to return back his money.

Ohanaeze Ndigbo: Sharing of Jonathan’s N5 billion Endorsement Gift Creates More Crisis

· Igbo Leaders Accused of embezzling fund from the top
· Rtd IGP Mike Okiro saves Igbo leaders from Embarrassment
The crisis generated by Jonathan's N5 billion naira endorsement gift is increasing by the day as more groups within the body accuses Igariwey led faction of scamming them. Ohanaeze Ndigbo had earlier endorsed Jonathan for a second term in Enugu two weeks ago after which pandemonium, fracas, tearing of dresses and biting off of fingers broke out at the secretariat over the sharing of the excess money. Among the groups that have rejected the earlier endorsement of Jonathan as a result of the sharing formula of the N5 billion naira gift is Igbo Delegates Assembly (IDA) in the 19 Northern States. This group was given N20 million naira to share among the 19 states of the north and FCT and each State got N1 million naira. IDA is alleging that the N20 million naira was the money Senator Hope Uzodimma promised them a year ago which Ohanaeze seized all these while.

30 Facts about Owners of Nigeria’s Richest Oil Blocks in the Midst of National Poverty



Click for Full Image Size
The richest oil blocks in Nigeria is owned by a few hundreds of persons while half of 160 million Nigerians live below S1 dollar daily. This injustice and wickedness must be corrected by whosoever wins the elections - whether Buhari, Jonathan, Interim Government, Boko Haram or civilian revolution. When I wrote the report titled 'How Babangida, Abacha, Abdulsalami, Obasanjo Shared Nigeria's Oil Blocks' in April 2012, which was later rephrased as '20 Owners of Richest Oil Blocks in Nigeria ' I had thought that the uproar and public condemnation that followed the report both nationally and internationally will precipitate an administrative investigation into the manner of the awards to sift the transparent deals which passed due diligence from those awarded after some bedroom performances.

 It is unfortunate that President Jonathan failed to revoke these illegal licenses to few criminals during his first tenure. Instead some more blocks and contracts were given another set of criminals under his watch. Had he taken such actions, the fear of defeat in the pols would have been non-existent because Nigerians from all tribes and faith enslaved by this bondage would have risen in his defense.

* Ohaneze Elders Council Condemns Endorsement of Jonathan


Pandemonium broke out at the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Secretariat of Tuesday during the sharing of the huge sums of money given to the Igariwey led leadership of the body for endorsing Jonathan's second term. Many persons who were at the endorsement venue smiled home with some tens and hundreds of thousands of naira and a few got some millions of naira. Some obviously greedy beneficiaries of the Ohanaeze national cake who felt shortchanged in the sharing formula had revealed to members of Ohanaeze Elders Council and other Igbo leaders in Nigeria and diaspora that Jonathan released N5billion naira and their leaders hid more than eighty percent of the money for themselves while releasing pittances to them.

Presidency 2015: Jonathan Dumps Oritsejafor For Bishop Oyedepo, Uma-Ukpai



Click for Full Image Size
Ahead of the 2015 presidential polls, Nigeria's President Goodluck Jonathan had dumped his erstwhile close friend and business associate ,Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor in favor of the President of Living Faith Church (Winners Chapel), Bishop David Oyedepo, as the arrow head of support for his re-election battle among Nigerian Christians.

Bishop Oyedepo was among the prominent pastors who attended a meeting last month in Abuja with resident Jonathan where the clerics vowed to give the president the votes of the Nigerian Christian Community.. In the said meeting efforts of some pastors from the war ravaged zones of the north to draw the attention of the president to the state of insecurity in the north was overshadowed by the fatherly voice of Bishop Oyedepo, who asked those present to concentrate on the forthcoming polls.
Bishop Oyedepo has also successfully mobilized church members and pastors to pray for the corporate existence of Nigeria and the protection of President Jonathan and his immediate family from arrows of darkness.

Ohanaeze in Secret Talks at Aso Villa: Endorses Jonathan's Presidency 2015



Click for Full Image Size
Ohanaeze Ndigbo met with Nigeria's President Goodluck Jonathan in Aso Villa on Wednesday and endorsed his plan for re-election in 2015. The meeting between President Jonathan and the leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo was to assure the President that the people of the South East were behind his re-election plans. The meeting was also intended to assure the President that there is only one Ohanaeze leadership under Chief Gari Igariwey and that anybody purporting to be representing Ndigbo is an impostor.

Confirming the meeting Wednesday with President Jonathan, the President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Gari Igariwey, told the Director General of Igbo Mandate Congress (IMC) and Director of Media of General Association of all Igbo Christian Ministers and Organization (GAAICOM), Rev Obinna Akukwe in a chat that there is actually a meeting with the President but that Ohanaeze cannot take any decision on where Ndigbo is headed for in 2015 till after the town hall meeting scheduled in Abakaliki between President Jonathan and Igbo leaders on Friday.

Shift 2015 Elections And Fight The Boko Haram War-Group Tells Jonathan


Click for Full Image Size
A group, New Foundation of National Understanding (NFNM),which has retired military officer and activists amongst their fold, has called upon Nigeria's President Goodluck Jonathan to postpone the 2015 Presidential elections and prepare for war against agents that wants to invade Southern Nigeria using Boko Haram. 

The group alleged that there is a plot by some few disgruntled politician and religious extremists of northern extraction to extend the reign of terror of Boko Haram to the South East, South West and South West, causing disaffection among Igbos and Yorubas while Boko Haram takes over the entire South on a religious agenda. The Group claimed that their petition is already before the President and Commander-in Chief as well as Heads of Security Agencies.

Auctioning of 419 2nd Niger Bridge and Jubilation of Igbo Fools



Lots of Igbo fools, including many top politicians, traditional rulers and other misguided elements jubilated when President Goodluck Jonathan was dragged by Ex Gov Peter Obi to belatedly commission an auctioned 419 2nd Niger Bridge that will be tolled for 25 years. This president while seeking for Igbo votes in 2010 promised to deliver the bridge before the end of his tenure. Five years later and a year to the expiration of the same tenure, they concocted a PPP arrangement to make the Igbs pay for the bridge through the back door.

I have written an earlier write-up titled 'Fraudulent Construction of 2nd Niger Bridge: Another 419 on the Igbo Nation', where I gave a hint that the thieves that concocted the financial criminality on the Igbo nation will recoup their investment within 4 years therewith exorbitant toll fees being planned, and the rest 21 years will be profits-and excess profits at the expense of the all wise Igbos. Since the piece was released, I have received far more facts which show that the N50 billion naira estimated as the inflated cost of the bridge is by far more costly. Under Obasanjo, the bridge was estimated to cost N54 billion naira (without the usual due process) and experts believe that with due process, the estimate would have reduced to N30 billion naira. It cost Yoruba man Fashola N29 billion naira to construct a l.3 km Lekki-Ikoyi suspension Bridge with adjoining roads while the 1.5 km 2nd Niger Bridge and 11 km adjoining roads will cost N117
billion naira. The difference is to be probably shared between some APGA chieftains, their PDP benefactors, and Julius Berger Consortium is just a smokescreen used to diver illicit gains.

The Fraudulent Construction Of 2nd Niger Bridge: Another 419 On The Igbo Nation



Click for Full Image Size
The construction of 2nd Niger Bridge through a Public Private Partnership involving Julius Berger -NSIA Consortium and tolling the Igbo people for 25 years thereafter is another 419 on the Biafran Igbo citizens of South East Nigeria. According to the terms of this fraudulent business, the project is a Design, Finance, Build, Operate and Transfer (DFBOT) model to cost N117 Billion naira with the Federal Government contributing a paltry N30 billion naira while the consortium will raise the rest of the funds and thereafter hold the Igbo people to ransom by collecting a 25 year toll tax for raising the rest of the funds offshore.

President Jonathan speaking at the ground breaking ceremony at Onitsha in March 2014 said that “as part of our administration's Transformation Agenda in the road sector, we have set out to construct two very important new bridges, across our Nation's two great rivers – the River Niger and River Benue.These are the Loko-Oweto Bridge linking Nasarawa and Benue States,which is progressing satisfactorily, and this 2nd Niger Bridge, connecting Anambra and Delta States." It is worthy to note that the other bridges are being constructed by Jonathan regime without any PPP and without any toll tax on the people of Benue and Nasarrawa States.

Igbo Presidency: Ohanaeze Must Negotiate With Jonathan Now


Click for Full Image Size
President Jonathan had come again for Igbo votes ahead of the emergence of successful All Progressive Congress (APC) Primaries which picked General Muhammadu Buhari as flagbearer. With the emergence of Buhari as APC candidate,it is obvious that it is no more tea party for the PDP, and one of the places they are farming seriously is Ohanaeze Ndigbo as avenue for much cherished Igbo votes.

I want to use this opportunity to reproduce a text of the lecture I delivered at the burial of the former Ohanaeze Ndigbo President, Ambassador Ralph Uwechue, on the occasion of a colloquium held in his honour at Ohanaeze Ndigbo National Secretariat, Enugu on the 8th of May, 2014. I do believe that Igbo leaders must negotiate with Jonathan on what he will do for the over 60 million Igbos in Nigeria and overseas or else they can as well look elsewhere in APC or UPC for alternative.

Why US Gov’t Refused To Assist Nigeria With Technology To Fight Boko Haram


Click for Full Image Size
Nigeria's Ambassador to the United States, Prof Ade Adefuye suggested recently that the United States willingly refused to assist Nigeria with technology to fight Boko Haram. Adefuye told members of the Council on Foreign Relations on Monday that "The Nigerian leadership... are not satisfied with the scope, nature and content of the United States' support for us in our struggle against terrorists,".

He added further that "We find it difficult to understand how and why in spite of the US presence in Nigeria with their sophisticated military technology Boko Haram should be expanding and becoming more deadly,"
Since the Boko Haram insurgency started, I am personally aware, through reliable military and diplomatic sources that the United States had always availed Nigeria of list of those they suspect to be sponsors of Boko Haram. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE United Nations House Bombings at Abuja in August 26th 2011, the US, alarmed by the sheer tactility of the operations, availed Nigeria's President Goodluck Jonathan of the list of the l sponsors of Boko Haram and was advised to act fast before they disintegrate Nigeria.

15 Years of Adulterous Endurance: In Defence of Anita Oyakhilome



Click for Full Image Size
Anita Oyakhilome, the frustrated wife of Nigeria's most flamboyant preacher, Chris Oyakhilome has obviously passed through 15 years of adulterous endurance and what she needs is our prayers and protective respect and defense of her choices to forget all the anti-rhapsody of heartbreak she endured all these years.
Fifteen (15) years of being abandoned by a preacher husband is not an easy way of life for a preacher's wife. Fifteen (15) years of hearing that some mini skirted daughters of Jezebel have taken over your possession is not a joke. Fifteen years of a husband not staying with the wife for up to a week on a stretch, while spending time with some double breasted figure eight(ed) daughters of eve is not an easy thing to swallow. 15 years of being used as a showcase to make church members believe in Rhapsodies of Blissful Union, while dying in silence, is not a palatable experience for any woman.

Jonathan, Sambo, Ihejirika, El-Rufai Joint Sponsors Of Boko Haram



Click for Full Image Size
As far as I am concerned, Nigeria's leader, Goodluck Jonathan, his Vice Namadi Sambo, former Army Chief Azubuike Ihejirika and Former FCT Minister Nasir El Rufai are all joint sponsors of Boko Haram and one group cannot extricate itself from the mess Nigeria is facing. Others in this ignoble group include Bamanga Tukur (sacked ruling party chairman), Sambo Dasuki ( NSA), Retired IGP Abubakar and all the service chiefs who served since the former NSA Azazi revealed that Boko Haram sponsors are in the ruling party. Therefore, the attempt to hinge the sponsorship of Boko Hram on Ihejirika alone as though others are clean is as despicable as the attempt to pin Boko Haram sponsorship on Buhari.

I was the first writer to classify Boko Haram into three in a piece on PDP Boko Haram initially released on the 2nd of February 2012. In the said article I stated that “The Boko Haram as presently constituted has three wings. The pro-sharia Boko Haram which is the offshoot of the one led by late Alhaji Yusuf, the All Queda Boko Haram which is sponsored by Arab support and the Peoples Democratic Party Boko Haram which wants to prevent President Goodluck from contesting for a second term in 2015 or stifle his seven year tenure elongation bid.” , and I still maintain that the three types of insurgency can be classified as (1) PDP Boko Haram (2) Sharia Boko Haram (3) Al Queda Boko Haram.

Before Boko Haram Storms Aso Rock And Embarrass Jonathan

Nigeria's political leadership should act decisively in national interest before the Boko Haram terrorists storms Aso Rock , Nigeria;s seat of government, and creates security panic throughout the nation. In March 2014, daring Boko Haram detainees made attempts to seize the Yellow House, headquarters of Nigeria's secret police popularly known as the State Security Services (SSS), in a botched operation that suggested that one day Aso Rock, the residential and official fortress cold be attacked. The SSS is about 200 meters from toe first gate of the expansive Presidential Villa.

According to reports, it took the immediate recall of operatives living around Abuja and the quick intervention of soldiers from the Guards Brigade before about 22 detainees involved in the attempt were overpowered and killed. On that fateful Sunday the 30th of March military aircraft was seen hovering over the Villa and President Jonathan was said to have been evacuated.

Boko Haram Republic of Gwoza: Jonathan Abandons Northern Christians

The Boko Haram insurgents have finally chased away the predominantly Christian community of Gwoza and hoisted their black and white flag in the conquered territory. Succinctly put, they have captured the Christian community of Gwoza and declared it an Islamic state. This is just the beginning. There are reports that they are transferring most of their kidnapped wives, slaves, concubines and armories from Sambissa Forest to Gwoza. The Catholic Secretariat had issued a statement claiming that the male catholic faithfuls in the town are being beheaded by the murderers while their women are being raped and forced to marry the blood suckers. This is happening at a time when a Christian by name Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan is the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Boko Haram Republic of Gwoza; A Bad Idea And Bad Omen

Boko Haram Republic of Gwoza; A Bad Idea And Bad Omen


Click for Full Image Size
Boko Haram Republic of Gwoza is both a bad idea and a bad omen for Nigeria because the indigenes of Gwoza are not sympathetic to Boko Haram. Boko Haram Republic flags should be hoisted in territories where majority of the inhabitants are supporters of the insurgents, and definitely, Gwoza is not part of them. Currently, Boko Haram have declared Gwoza an Islamic Republic and that is very unfair to the predominantly Christian community.

Gwoza is among the communities and local government area in what is politically termed Southern Borno which has a majority Christian population with a minority mix of pagans, animists and Muslims. Such communities include Damboa (where Boko Haram had also taken over) and Chibok (where over 250 Chibok school girls were kidnapped and serially raped to death), Ngala ( where 480 soldiers fled from to Cameroun). Other such towns including Askira, Uba, Biu, Bayo, Shani, Kusar and Kwawu are mainly Christian communities yet they have no signs of development because successive regimes in Maidugeri have victimized them on account of their Christian heritage, dating to between 80-102 years.
