The butchers from the north are better known as the Fulani militants and herdsmen. They have unleashed horror and levied war against the people of Nigeria over the last one year.
The saints are the Christians that they have slaughtered all over the country in that same period of time.I consider every single saint that they have killed as a martyr because they died for their faith. I honor them with this essay and I dedicate it to their memory.
On 24th August 2016 Mr. Phil Smart wrote the following on Facebook:
"Catholic seminarian butchered, pregnant woman's stomach cut open....as Fulani herdsmen continue killing in Enugu".
The words were accompanied by a picture of a Catholic priest whose body had been shredded into pieces like fresh mincemeat or a Japanese sirloin steak.
There was another of a pregnant woman whose stomach had been slit open right down the middle and whose unborn foetus and guts were hanging out for all to see. Clearly she had been carefully and clinically gutted.
Many other bodies were strewn all over the burnt out fields and compounds of the village and some were so badly mutilated and chopped up that it would have been difficult to convince anyone that they once belonged to human beings. Not even babies were spared.
In truth this was not the work of men but rather of demon-possesed hybrid entities that the famous British conspiracy-theorist Mr. David Icke describes as "shape-shifting reptilians" and sociopathic beasts.
Worse still this was the second time in a matter of weeks that the relative tranquility of Enugu was desecrated by the prescence of these nomadic beasts and murdering bastards.
On the previous occassion they caused as much havoc, slaughtered as many people and engendered as much consternation and outrage as the succeeding one.
Yet it doesn't stop there. On the very same day that the latest attack in Enugu was going on other Nigerians were being attacked and "burnt alive" by people of the same radical Islamist bent and spirit in far away Zamfara for "blaspheming against Islam".
Other similar attacks by the same fanatics and jihadists took place on that day in southern Kaduna, Benue, Niger, Ondo, Plateau, Delta and various other parts of the country.
If the truth be told this carnage and butchery has now become a daily occurence in our country and it is always the same people, namely the butchers from the north, that perpetrate them.
The worst aspect of it all is that no-one has ever been arrested, prosecuted or brought to justice by the govermment for these hideous crimes mainly because President Buhari himself is a Fulani and consequently the authorities seem to have cultivated a soft-spot for them.
Indeed Buhari is actually the life Patron and "protector-in-chief" of the umbrella organisation of all the Fulani Herdsmen in Nigeria which is known as Miyetti Allah.
There is of course another view which is that the herdsmen are actually a tool of conquest who are being carefully cultivated, co-ordinated, controlled, organised, armed and funded by a sinister and dark hidden hand: that they are something akin to a Fulani "death squad" or armed militia.
Those that share that view, and yours truly is amongst them, often refer to the butchers from the north as Nigeria's "Janjaweed", after the ruthless camel-riding Arab Muslim militia which Sudanese President Al Bashir commissioned, armed and employed to decimate, slaughter and commit genocide against over one million defenceless black African Sudanese Christians in the vast region of Darfur for many years.
It is also why the U.S.-based Global Terror Index describes them as the "Fulani Militants" and has designated them as the "fourth most deadly terrorist organisation" in the world.
Whatever one chooses to call them, whoever is behind them and whatever their motives may be one thing is clear: their actions are outrageous and barbaric and such behaviour has no place in a civilised society.
I feel a deep sense of anger and outrage on the one hand and utter shame and frustration on the other about what is going on in our country today and what these butchers from the north are doing to our people.
Theirs is a scorthed earth policy and they take no prisoners. They rape, kill, abduct, kidnap and terrorise people and they rob, burn down, destroy and pillage their homes, churches and farmlands at will.
Worse still they commit these atrocities with total impunity and without any fear of the law enforcement agencies or security forces.
And all this is done in the name and under the guise of herding cows and looking for grazing land for their cattle.
I feel a deep sense of anger and outrage towards President Buhari and his government, because they seem to believe that the constant spilling and shedding of innocent Christian blood is something that brings them good fortune.
It also appears to give them immense pleasure and joy otherwise they would have put a stop to it long ago.
I feel shame and frustration because the Nigerian people themselves seem wholly incapable of standing up to that which is nothing less than pure evil.
They seem incapable of protesting against anything, no matter how bestial and barbaric that thing may be.
I wonder who has bewitched us? Is this the work of the "mai chanji" sweeping broom brew?
Have the Nigerian people been charmed? Are we under a spell? Are we like the biblical Galatians who the Apostle Paul says were "bewitched"?
Our people appear to be wholly incapable of resisting and facing down those that have enthroned sadism and wickedness in their hearts and that take pleasure in indulging in mass murder, genocide and ethnic cleansing in our land.
It is not only the government that has failed but the political leaders from all the opposition parties, the traditional rulers, the clerics, the religious leaders, the media practitioners, the publishers, the columnists, the writers, the human rights activists, the editorial boards of newspapers, the bloggers, the intellectuals, the businessmen, the teachers, the students, the writers, the elites, the middle class, the workers, the unions and the ordinary people themselves have all failed too.
They have all been gripped by the spirit of fear. They have been bullied, intimidated, brow-beaten and shocked into pitiful submission and a sickening and cowardly timidity.
They have all failed to defend and speak up for the defenceless, the weak and the vulnerable in our midst.
They have failed to protect and shield the thousands that are hacked to pieces and burnt alive on a regular basis by the rabid islamist beasts and terrorists in our midst for no just cause other than the fact that they are perceived as being nothing but Christian, Middle Belt and southern slaves.
I am going to say some hard things and speak some home truths in this conbtribution and frankly I do not care who takes offence, whose ox is gored or who feels hurt by it.
People are being killed by the demons in flesh, the tsetse flies and the religious and ethnic bigots in our land every day. Buhari's Nigeria is awash with blood and most of it is Christian blood that is being shed by his misguided and dark-hearted Fulani kinsmen.
It is time to speak the truth no matter how ugly that truth may be and no matter how politically incorrect it may be to speak it.
It is time to stand up to the evil in the land, to damn the consequeces and to bear the threats and insults that always come for speaking and exposing the truth in what has essentially become a police state.
It is time to coin that famous Ghanaian phrase that says "all die be die" and to remember Shakepeare's words when he wrote "even though the heavens fall, let the truth be told and let justice be done".
And that truth is that the evil that has seized our land has two columns, two heads and two primary sources of motivation. The first is the forceful and bloody quest for Fulani supremacy, ethnic hegemony and racial domination.
The second is the morbid obsession by the radical Muslims of core northern Nigeria to shed innocent blood, to take life in the name of their god, to effect Jihad against those that do not share their world view, to wipe out Christianity, to enslave our people and to islamise our country.
The truth is that every single CORE northern Muslim leader that has ever ruled this country has either died on the throne or been removed from power in a military coup. Not one of them ended well.
Whether the second coming of Buhari will end any differently remains to be seen. One thing that is clear to me though is that the whole thing is spiritual. It is being orchestrated and effected by the finger of God and not by any man.
It is God's way of saying that they were never meant to rule and be there in the first place and that He has rejected them. It is the work of the Ancient of Days and the Lord God of Hosts.
They believe that they were "born to rule" but in actual fact they have been rejected by the Living God.
Those that employ mass murder, ethnic cleansing and genocide as a tool of conquest and a legitimate weapon of war, that consider their fellow Nigerians to be sub-human and that believe that those fellow Nigerians are nothing but chattel and serfs that are destined to be ruled over by some distant caliph are in grave error: they have not fully understood God's plan and purpose for this country.
They cannot comprehend or understand what is slowly unfolding. They do not appreciate the fact that no matter how much evil they visit on the rest of us that God is at work and His counsel alone will stand over our people and in the affairs of our nation.
The truth is that the Lord regards them as nothing more than unbelieving slaves and they are far below us. They are of the darkness and we are of the light.
The bible describes it is a "great evil under the sun" when "the children of slaves ride on horseback" whilst "the sons of Kings walk around barefoot".
That is what has been happening in Nigeria since 1960. The children of the "bonded woman" have been riding on horseback whilst the children "of promise" have been walking around barefoot.
This is indeed "a great evil under the sun". It is a spiritual affliction. It is witchcraft. It is an abomination. It is unacceptable.
It is a total reversal of the way things ought to be. It is a rejection, usurpation and total corruption of God's original plan. It is ungodly and it is anti-Christ.
I blame no-one but the leadership of the body of Christ in Nigeria for this mess.
There are a few good ones amongst them who stood firm and spoke out when it mattered the most but sadly there are others who are more interested in collecting tiny crumbs from the President's table and buying fine clothes, expensive jewelry, fast cars and private jets than they are in standing up for their flock and effecting God's purpose and plan for Nigeria.
Worst still there is also a small handful, like that short and vocal Rev. Father from Enugu, who have chosen to sell their souls to the devil, collaborate with the enemies of Christ and serve as the principal cheerleaders to the tyrant.
If our men and women of God were bold and courageous and if they were doing their job properly the radical Muslims could not have turned Christians in Nigeria into second class citizens and toilet paper and a sharia-loving, Muslim-fundamentalist, closet- jihadist and Fulani supremacist like Buhari would never have been in power today.
The bottom line is this: if you are not ready to die for Christ or to lose your life or liberty for defending and protecting the gospel, God's children or the faith then you are not worthy of being called a Christian.
We must help the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) to stand firm and strengthen their collective resolve but we must not leave it at that.
We must also organise ourselves as well, not only in the political arena, but also by setting up strong Christian militias and defence squads to protect our churches and our people from the terrorists and butchers.
We must aspire to emulate the Christian Phalange militia in Lebanon which was formed just before the Lebanese civil war broke out in the '70's and 80's.
They were disciplined, well organised, gallant and courageous and they defended the lives of their people and the honor of their faith. The truth is that had it not been for the Phalange the Christians of Lebanon would have been wiped out by the Muslims in that war.
I abhore violence and neither do I advocate its use. However we must accept the fact that,
whether we like it or not, ultimately this matter will be settled not just by prayers, politics, long essays and press statements but also with guns and bullets.
This is because violence is the only language that the butchers from the north appreciate and can comprehend. If the state is either incapable or refuses to protect the Christian community in Nigeria we will be left with no choice but to defend ourselves and protect our own.
Permit me to conclude this contribution with the following.
I would urge all those that still love and support this government to take a long hard look at the pictures that are strewn all over the internet of their fellow Nigerians that have been mutilated and carved up like Christmas turkeys and sallah goats. This is the work of Buhari's kinsmen, the Fulani militias and herdsmen.
He has refused to arrest any of them let alone bring them to justice. Instead he has ruined our economy, impoverished and destroyed the lives of our people and aborted their God-given destiny, divided our nation on religious and ethnic lines, demonised us before the international community and labelled every Nigerian, apart from himself, as being incompetent and corrupt.
This is a man that spends his time pontificating about corruption with long and boring speeches and pointing fingers at others. This is a man that told Mr. Shinzo Abe, the Prime Minister of Japan at the Tokyo summit in Nairobi just yesterday, that Nigeria's "business environment is not friendly to investors" and that consistently tells other world leaders how supposedly "corrupt" his own people are.
He has conveniently refused to tell those same world leaders how his presidential campaign was funded, how much money those that ran his campaign paid Mr. David Axelrod, President Obama's campaign advisor and publicist, and how many cars and how much "allowance" he collected from Col. Sambo Dasuki, President Goodluck Jonathan's National Security Advisor, before being "elected" President.
The Bible says "let he who is free of sin cast the first stone". Nigerians may not know the truth today but God does and He cannot be mocked. Let Him judge between us.
Yet the truth is that President Buhari's administration is not only essentially hypocrital but they also have no shame. All those that continue to support them and cheer them on are equally shameless.
Worst still their supporters are cowards because they cannot find the courage to admit that they were wrong in supporting a government that is manifestly divisive, insensitive, incompetent, corrupt and intolerant of criticism and dissent.
They are the ones that we must hold responsible and accountable for what has happened to those unfortunate people in all those pictures.
They are the ones that we must blame for what has been happening to thousands of others at the hands of the Fulani militants and herdsmen all over the country for the last one year and three months.
I say this because they are the ones that have encouraged the beast and cheered him on. They are the ones that have fed his blood-lust and encouraged him in his morbid quest to steal, kill and destroy. They are the ones that wanted, and still want, "mai chanji".
I say a pox on all their houses! Shame on them and shame on the beast and tyrant that they worship.
May the souls of all the saints, believers and Christian martyrs that were cut short by the butchers and barbarians from the north rest in peace and may the Lord God of Hosts avenge them speedily.

Femi, no matter your ranting, it has been found that you follow caused the Fulani's herdsmen killings of innocent Nigerians all over the country.
ReplyDeleteYou can no longer deceived those of us that are opened eye.
Please, go and defend the money you stole, I mean our common wealth.
Do you think MB is joking with you.
Whether you like it or not, you must go to jail come what may.
you have no escape route.
Where is your international passport.
You succeeded in fooling some people for some times but you were unable to fool all the people all the time.
If you like write one million pages of negative comments on Buhari's administration no true and indeed honest Nigerian will recon with you again never till you are placed in your six feet bed room.
You are obviously one of the shameless oafs he spoke of. I am so disgusted by you and your type. It will never be well with you and your kind.
DeleteIt baffles me to hear that Enugu the Heart of Igbo land has accepted the so called herds men killings as part of their faith. Till this day i can't understand that in Igboland that the herdsmen are killing people and the Igboman is quiet. i am an Igbo man and if the people of Enugu do not know what to do, let the heavens rain fire on them. Do not pity or sympathize for them because they have lost their minds. The people of Enugu do not know the markets where guns and cutlasses are sold? i wish more killing for them for being a confused people.

ReplyDeleteOga thank you so , so much . Abeg return your own share of the money you collect that is suppose to be meant for arms to fight this people when they were operating under Book Haram. Keep quit abeg you.
ReplyDeleteNigerians are waiting for Buhari to come and stop rampaging herdsmen in their towns. Meanwhile, every state has the power to make laws to protect its people. I am no fan on Fayose, but if the governor of Enugu state and other states harassed by the herdsmen cannot make laws proscribing cattle grazing the way Ekiti State has done, they should stop boring us with lamentations. If you make laws proscribing grazing other than in ranches, there would be no reason for herdsmen to be around you!
ReplyDeleteIt is quite unfortunate that people like Emany are still beclouded by this so called change. may be because it is not his people that are being killed for now. What has Femi trial got to do with what he said about the senseless killing being carried out by the fulanies whose patron is the president. I wish pray that such will happen to your family then i will really know that you are in support of this change when you don't complain
ReplyDeleteThis is yet another malicious vituperations from a deranged mind. The man is a Messiah of doom, and it seems his target initially, the East, has been expanded to include all South and the middle belt. What does he preach? Violence, violence and more violence. Against who? Against the North. He desires a situation where no northerner is left alive. How does he hope to win followership? By appealing to the fears of people, the sentiments they hold, their religious affiliation,in fact he exploits everything that divides while suppressing those that unite. He is disaster yet untamed. Has he being successful in his devilish intentions? To some degree, he has won the love of the naive and perpetually blinded youths of the East. Even when his atrocities against them where mentioned, they easily forgave him as he now championed a course closely related to theirs; secession. Further than the East, his hypocrisy is apparent to all, and even the most gullible Westerner looks at him with suspicion and disgust. He believed, to be relevant, he must demonize the most acceptable President of the most populous black nation. He is a sadist and a sinister adventurist. His ideas are as vague as his belief in God hollowed. Yet when he targets recruitment from a people who believe in God, he presents himself as a saint. He is so short of morals yet he wanted others to treat him with respect. He is the provabial prodigious child; and indeed, his real father has disowned him owing to his waywardness. He is like a hyena in the wild who only thinks of his own survival. FFK will never disappoint when impregnating Igbo ladies is concerned. He looks at them as slaving for a decent living and always exploits that to satisfy his sexual desires. In his world, life means money, women and liquor. He is as loquacious as he is indolent. So self centered and one who can trade the cunt that bear him for peanuts. He is cursed not only by the duo of his mother and father, but also by God. He belong to the deepest, darkest and the most virulent part of hell. His soul is so dirty its will contaminate any being that attempt to undertake his corpse. What a being!
ReplyDeleteVery well said Anonymous 9:49 Am. But sentiments, irrationally and outright denial still persist among the Igbo's who will readily align and tow along with FFK's aspersions forgetting all the unforgivable things FFK had said about their people and especially Igbo daughters, who he'd ridiculed on the pages of newspapers. Some Igbos will blindly or deliberately support FFK, just because they don't like PMB... that all they care to know.
DeleteI hail u Femi Kayode,May God bless u for saying it as it is,my heart bleeds to see Nigerians still supporting this evil govt,when it's so obvious how evil they are but greed will not allow my christian brothers open their eyes,while d northerners will alwaz support their own,no matter how evil.I wish christians would stand strong and defend their own,we need to fight back and wit matchetes and guns as well
ReplyDeleteIt hurts my heart when this killers keep going scot free while they want to persecute a man for merely naming his dog buhari,chai! D irony of life.God will punish all those supporting tyranny and evil.
ReplyDeleteWhy won't a group come out and answer Christian Avengers or something and start killing all these herdmens? Trust me that is only when our evil president will pay attention

ReplyDeleteFemi you have spoken well. I appreciate ur courage and confidence. Persecution of the body christ is at the high side.God will judge
ReplyDeleteThis is no time for caution. It has to be said and action is urgently needed. I am all for taking up arms and standing up to these beastly jihadists and their beloved nomad. Enough is enough.
ReplyDeleteFemi Fani Kayode is nothing but a Thieving, Deceiving and immoral rubble rouser who in other sane climes, should be in gaol behind bars for all his atrocities. But this is Nigeria where common sense is not common and we are slaves to sentiments especially religious and ethnic, which is why Femi Fani Kayode has chosen to play on our sentimental feelings and use it for his personal ulterior motives as a means of attacking PMB and stoking the embers of hatred and bad blood between the generality of peace loving Nigerians (Christians and Muslims) who go about their normal daily lives and interact and live together. But Femi Fani Kayode has grossly over estimated himself and felt he is smarter than everyone else. How very wrong he is, because Nigerians can see beyond his sleaziness and shenanigans of who he really is...Nothing but a SICK, SPOILT and most especially a THIEF who has benefitted from the looting of our collective wealth and who instead of stoking the fire of hatred among adherents of the two faiths, should be cooling his heels behind Kirikiri Maximum prison. His days of reckoning is near, for soon he will be called to account for his sins against the Nigerian masses whose wealth he has stolen all these while he'd been in government.
ReplyDeleteDevil your plan no go work
ReplyDeleteFemi,I want to believe have not taken one tenth of wat our dear president has helped himself to from our common wealth
ReplyDeleteCall Femi any name you like but we are all witnesses to premeditated killing of Christians all over Nigeria surreptitiously supervised by the Buhari government. His kinsmen - the Fulani jihadists - have concluded that with their man on the throne, now is the right time to conquer and Islamize the rest of Nigeria. And the National Assembly is about to reward their efforts - establish Fulani military bases all over the country in the name of grazing ranches! Well meaning Nigerians speaking out very strongly against these atrocities will compel the government to at least restrain these messengers of Satan until the Nigerian question is finally determined.
ReplyDeleteALL WHO PAY DEAF EARS WHEN OTHERS ARE KILLED WILL HAVE HIS TURN WAITING
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting to see that all those who responded by barracking the person of FFK so far. Not one of them addressed the issue he raised: Is it right for one tribe the Fulani to be rampaging all over the country killing innocent defenseless people . Is it right for Government under a Fulani man to ignore this senseless bloodshed and turn a blind eye to it? How come no single one has been apprehended ? If the same PMB will use the vigor in fighting looters of public funds and BH why is he so quiet and unconcerned about this issue. You can hate messager but you deceive yourself if you think that will detract from the message if the messages is the truth . Was it not a Fulani leader that was quoted as saying 'Conscience is an open wound , only truth can heal it?' Where is the confidence of the Fulani leaders on this matter?
ReplyDeleteViolence consumes its perpetrators in the end and the Fulanis and their cohorts should watch their fate , if they don't desist.
Should we also kill FFK for saying the truth? Or should we leave Fulani heardsmen killing continues?crucifying him or release Barnabas the thief?
ReplyDeleteAnyone that hate this blatant addressed by FFK is an Anti-Christ in nature and the wrath of God will soon visit them one by one. Are you deaf or blind at the incessant killings of the innocent souls by the so-called herdsmen all over the country? enough is enough. We need not to wait for public declaration that the war has started, just count the number of Christians that were killed since Buhari became the president is uncountable, do you suggest we should fold our hands and let it continues? worst still is there any tangible pronouncement from the govt of the jihadist president PMB?. Why attacking the man that is bold to speak the truth in our time? you fools.
