The Northern States Elders Christian Forum (NOSCEF), led by Evangelist Matthew Owojaiye, has forecast a bloody Islamic revolution in Northern Nigeria.
It advised, however, that it is not late to contain it if the North would focus on the greatest need of its people and swiftly attend to it.
In a statement in Abuja today, the forum declared that The [Northern Muslim] Elders can see the revolution coming and are talking about it, but that for a long time, they were content to turn the attention of the youth against Christians, using religion.
It suggested that the key issue is economic, not religious, pointing out that the Northern states have so far produced nine Heads of State, only one of whom, Gen. Yakubu Gowon, was a Christian.
"What did these 8 Head of States except Sir Ahmadu Bello do for the people? How come the people are poor when their own people have been in power most of the time?
“Most of the Governors in the North are Muslims. How come their people are so poor? How come they are the ones selling water in jerry cans? How come they are the ones doing shoe shining? How come they are the ones breaking fire woods into pieces? How come they are the ones doing maiguard, night guard work? These Northern leaders have cheated the Northern masses too much.”
It also pointed out that most of the Federal Ministers from the North are Muslims. “What did their people benefit from it? Almost nothing. The Northern States have far more Local Governments. None earns less than N100 million a month from the Federal Government. What did they do with it? The Federal Government pumped billion of Naira into nomadic education. Where is the result?”
Continued the statement, “Most of those who are Ambassadors from the North are Muslims. The Governor of Central Bank is a Muslim from the North. The Minister of Education is a Muslim from the North. The Inspector General of Police is a Muslim from the North. The National Security Adviser is a Muslim from the North. The Chief Justice of the Federation is a Muslim from the North.”
It further pointed out that there are more Northern Muslims Senators; more Muslim Northern House of Representative Members; and more Northern Muslim Commissioners of Police.
“Most of those who own Petrol Stations in the North are Muslims. Most of those who have been Executive Directors from the North are Muslims. Most of the Vice Chancellors of Universities and Rectors of Polytechnics in the North are Muslims. Most of the owners of trailers in the North are Muslims. All who have ever been Vice Presidents of Nigeria from the North are all Muslims.”
With all of this in mind, the statement asked, “What have the Christians done in the North to cause poverty in the North that warrants total annihilation?” adding, “They are attacking the wrong people.”
NOSCEF stated that it is still not too late to contain the revolution if the right attitude was adopted by the North and the right action, taken.
“Find the greatest need of your people,” it advised. “Vocational jobs, training and mass scholarships. Agricultural loans made available to the poor. Build dams and boreholes everywhere. Provide medical clinics that are functioning. Find projects that can touch their lives. Do launching and fund raising.
Let all of the Big Men mentioned earlier come and give away half i.e. 50% of their wealth to help their people. They cannot finish spending the remaining 50% until they die peacefully. If they refuse to do this, the revolution will come and consume them.
It will take away all their wealth. Time is running out. No need to play to the gallery. No need to do escapism. The Boko Haram has almost finished dealing with Christians yet their problems are not solved.
They will descend on their Elders and consume them.
Why turn Muslim areas of the North into Ghost towns? Why destroy the whole place? Why present our youth for slaughter? What percentage of children of the rich is in terrorism?” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteBrilliant exposition there!!
ReplyDeleteGod in at work
ReplyDeleteSometimes the Christian Elders talk as if they don't hv brain in their heads. They always sound very childish.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous 10:18, let me sympathize with your iliterate and ignorant nature,I just hope you don't die in it. The Christian Elders has spoken well, they have seen the future.
ReplyDeleteThe Northern Leader's are aggrieved because presidency was not zoned to them and they decided to bring in arms for their (NFAY) No Future Ambition Youth, just as the Elders has spoken, there will be misunderstanding among them and those in charge will turn the arms against them In JESUS name I pray,AMEN
The Core North are very heartless people if the oil that is sustaining us as a nation today had belong to them long ago they would have divided this nation, but today the North own 82% Oil well in the Niger delta. Yet they are killing people.
A leader from th south east saw this greed in them and decided to divide this nation (Ojukwu) but got no support from even the South-South N south west, look at the world today Muslims are creating problems Will this ever stop ??
They have started again with their tricks , when a bomb company of Bayelsa state was exposed in lagos recently by Security operatives, no one talks about it but if the building belongs to any Northern state they would shout till next month.
ReplyDeleteTruth is bitter....they should act now cos time is running out. They deliberately shielded their people from light (education), (made them illiterates) so they wont see...
ReplyDeleteIt's just the truth. The Northern leader is the problem and the problem will soon consume them. They prevent their children from going to school so that they could use them to kill Christians in the name of religion. But now the music will soon change against them. I've said it before in one of the dailies. The christian elder know the exact problem confronting the North. And the Northern leaders knows it will soon consume them that is the reason they're calling for Amnesty from the government. Calling for Amnesty won't work. They should face the music or follow up with the man's recommendations.
ReplyDelete@Enex u bastard'dead man on d earth..watch urs words
ReplyDeleteThanks be God for this great wisdom and the boldness to speak out. Words of our elders are indeed words of wisdom. Let the truth be told even when some don't see it as the truth, they will realise it sometime, someday. Like one old proverb says, "He that trains a lion to kill for him, anyday the lion does not see a prey, the likelihood is for the lion to pounce on his trainer". One word is enough for the wise. BEWARE!
ReplyDeleteWhat a revelation! What a presentation! Alas, people carrying guns wont care to listen.
