THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY
AND HIS CRUEL
HUSBAND
When
President Muhammadu Buhari arrived in the United Kingdom in preparation for the
Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting, Archbishop Justin Welby, the
Archbishop of Cantetbury and the presiding Bishop of the Church of England, who
dutifully sat at his bedside when he was critically ill last year and who has
assumed the role of his beloved second wife, said the following:
"Mr.
President, you have my best wishes on your recent decision. I read your
declaration speech. We are neutral as a Church but we will pray for you. Great
statesmen are those who run for the good of their country. We will be praying
for you".
There
is no question in my mind that Welby is Buhari's new-found bride.
As
I said in an earlier contribution, it is clear to me that this 'same-sex-marriage-loving'
and confused English Archbishop deserves to be hung, drawn, quartered and burnt
at the stake!
He
says he will be praying for a blood-lusting and tyrannical monster that has
inflicted nothing but pain and hardship on the Nigerian people.
What
on earth have we done to Justin Welby to deserve this disdain, contempt, insult
and mockery? Would he pray that such a creature should preside over the affairs
of his Great Britain?
Does
Justin know who and what his husband really is and what he has done? Does he
even care to do the research and find out?
Has
the blood of the Christian martyrs and saints that has been shed over the last
three years in Nigeria
not moved or touched the heart of this so-called Archbishop?
Has
he lost all sense of decency and compassion and has the milk of human kindness
stopped flowing in his veins?
Has
he stopped hearing from God or is he just rebellious and defiant to the leading
of the Spirit and the voice of the Lord? As a matter of fact did he EVER hear
from God?
When
a senior cleric espouses a cold-blooded and merciless demoniac it gives cause
for concern. When a shepherd encourages and endorses the bestial atrocities of
an insatiable wolf that takes pleasure in devouring his sheep it is an
abomination.
Since
when did the Church of England and the Archbishop of Canterbury sink so low?
You
are associating with a tyrant who is in open collusion and collaboration with
Fulani herdsmen and Boko Haram and who has presided over, orchestrated and
encouraged the mass murder and slaughter of hundreds of thousands of his own
people.
This
is a man who has refused to label the Fulani herdsmen terrorists and who has
publicly identified with some of the core values of Boko Haram and defended
them on numerous occasions over the years.
You
say that you are neutral as a Church yet you keep having photo-ops and
closed-door meetings with the tyrant and you refuse to condemn him for his
gross and barbaric human rights violations, his attacks on and marginalisation
of adherents of the Christian faith, his contempt for the Church and his hatred
for non-Muslims and non-Fulanis. I say shame on you!
The
attempt by the British government and intelligence agencies, using a
discredited and out of touch 'same-sex-marriage-loving' Archbishop Justin Welby,
to help to prop up and legitimise a failed tyrant, an ethnic cleanser and a
genocidal maniac who hates and kills non-Fulanis, Shia Muslims, IPOB youths and
Christians, will fail.
Permit
me to go further by putting the following questions to the Archbishop.
How
can you possibly know who your real friends in Nigeria are or who and what your
husband really is when you didn't even know who your real father was until two
years ago?
How
can you possibly recognise the fact that entering into intimate relations and
deep fraternity with a man whose hands are soaked in blood and who delights in
indulging in wickedness and injustice is anti-Christ and ungodly when you
preside over a Church that encourages and administers same-sex marriages and
that believes that being gay is a virtue?
Is
it any wonder that many Anglican denominations all over the world, including Nigeria and Africa,
severed ties with and renounced the English branch of the Anglican Church over
ten years ago because of your love for homosexuals and gay marriage and other
grave doctrinal violations of the Holy Scriptures?
I
have nothing but contempt for your weakness and inability to preserve and
protect the gospel and true teachings and beliefs of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ and I view you as nothing but a compromised and corrupted hell-bound
soul.
Your
love for your husband Buhari does not surprise me. I am aware that it has
always been so since his days at PTF.
I
do not expect any better from you because I know how flawed, insensitive,
seedy, irresponsible, detached, out of touch with reality and compromised you
really are but because of your station in the Church and reverred calling
others may well do. Consequently I am constrained to put the following
questions to you.
Have
you asked the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) what they and the 120
million Christians that they represent have been going through since your
husband came to power?
Do
you know how many Christians are killed on a daily basis in Nigeria by
security forces and state-sponsored Fulani jihadist militias?
Have
you asked the Anglican Communion in Nigeria what Christians have been
going through in our country under your husband?
Have
you asked the Methodists, the Baptists, the Catholics, the Evangelicals, the
Pentecostals, the Cherubim and Seraphim, the Apostolic
Church, CAC, ECWA, COCIN or any other
Christian denomination in Nigeria
what their members have witnessed over the last three years?
Have
you sought the counsel of the National Christian Elders Forum (NCEF) and found
out from them precisely what the overall objective and long-term plans of your
husband's government is for Christians in Nigeria and how his greatest desire
is to islamise our nation through a process that they have aptly described as
"stealth jihad"?
Have
you read the excellent article titled "Nigeria and State Complicity With
Terrorists" by the British security analyst Dr. Ann McGregor which makes a
compelling case about the collusion and strong collaboration that exists
between the Buhari government and the Al Barnawi-faction of Boko Haram?
Do
you know how Christian officers are treated in the security and intelligence
agencies and in the Armed Forces in Nigeria?
Do
you know the indignities that they have been subjected to and do you appreciate
the fact that they cannot speak out due to fear of sanctions and reprisals?
Do
you know that every single one of the para-military, security and intelligence
agencies in Nigeria
and every branch of the Nigerian Armed Forces except for the Navy is headed by
a northern Muslim?
Are
you aware of the fact that the Trump administration, through Vice President
Mike Pence of the United States of America,
has described Nigeria
as "the most dangerous place in the world for Christians to live?"
Do
you know that they are absolutely right about that?
Do you know that thousands of Shiite Muslims and Igbo youths have been
butchered by your husband's security agencies and Armed Forces over the last three
years?
Do

has become an abbatoir of human blood and butchery under him?

President Goodluck Jonathan, General T.Y. Danjuma, Vice President Atiku
Abubakar, the leaders of Afenifere, Ohaeneze, The Middle Belt Forum, the Niger
Delta elders and countless other leaders across political party and
socio-cultural lines have condemned your husbands activities and record in
public office and asked him not to come back?
Do
you know that 808 Christians were murdered in their homes by Fulani herdsmen on
Christmas eve and Christmas day alone in 2016?
Do
you know that not one of the herdsmen that perpetuated this heinous crime was
caught or brought to justice simply because they enjoy the support of your
husband and his security agencies?
Do
you know that hundreds of thousands of others have been butchered in the same
way and by the same people all over the Middle Belt and the south over the last
three years?
Do
you know the terror the Christians and indigenous people of Taraba, Benue,
Plateau, Adamawa, Kogi, Kwara, Nassarawa, Niger, Enugu, Abia, Anambra, Oyo,
Ogun, Ekiti, Oshun, Delta, Edo, Akwa Ibom, Cross Rivers, Imo, Ebonyi, Lagos,
Zamfara and others have been subjected to by your husbands kinsmen in the name
of cattle-herding over the last three years?
Do
you know that when the Fulanis kill they target women and children especially
and they remove the vital organs, eyes, tongue, private parts, liver, kidneys
and hearts of their victims?
Do
you know that they use those human parts for ritual purposes? Do you know that
they are pagans and not real Muslims?
Do
you know that not one Fulani herdsman has been brought to justice in the last
three years by your husband even though they have slaughtered hundreds of
thousands of innocent and defenceless Christians and non-Fulani Muslims all
over the country?
Do
you know that they enjoy official protection and support from your husband? Do
you know that your husband refers to them publicly as his "people"
and his "brothers" and that he has appealed to the communities whose
people they have slaughtered to "accomodate them" and "treat
them with understanding?"
Do
you know that Christians and non-Fulanis are disarmed by your husbands security
forces and told that they must not attempt to defend themselves when they are
attacked by the Fulani otherwise they will be arrested or shot by the police or
the military?
Do
you know that your husband once said that Boko Haram should not be wiped out
and that "an attack on Boko Haram is an attack on the north?"
Do
you know that Boko Haram once proposed him as their spokesman and chief
negotiator in proposed talks with President Jonathan's government?
Do
you know that he shares some of their core values and objectives such as the
view that sharia must be spread and practised in every part of the country?
Do
you know that he once said that Muslims should only vote for Muslims? Do you
know that he once said that it is not the business of Christians when Muslims
cut off the limbs of other Muslims under sharia because it is not Christian
limbs that are being cut off?
Do
you know that your husband hates the Igbo people of south-eastern Nigeria who are
predominantly Christians? Do you know that over 2 million of the Igbo,
including 1 million children, were slaughtered by Nigerian forces in our civil
war and that your husband was deeply involved in that carnage and slaughter?
Do
you know that last year he declared IPOB, an Igbo organisation who believe in
the right of self-determination and the establishment of Biafra,
who do not have an armed wing and who have never carried arms, killed anyone or
indulged in any form of violence, as a terrorist organisation?
Do
you know that he "disappeared" Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of IPOB and in
the process killed many people in his house?
Do
you know that he has locked up Sheik El Zak Zaky, the leader of the Shiite
Muslims in Nigeria,
indefinately and against court orders after killing his children, slaughtering
hundreds of his people, shooting his wife four times in the stomach and shooting
him in the eye?
Do
you know that he has detained Col. Sambo Dasuki, a former National Security
Advisor, a reasonable, moderate, civilised, urbane, cosmopolitan, liberal and
blue-blooded Fulani Prince of the Sokoto Caliphate and a man whose only crimes
are that he served President Goodluck Jonathan diligently and that he presents
a credible and potent threat to your husbands tyrannical government and 2019
ambitions?
Do
you know that your husband has not only given Boko Haram millions of dollars in
ransoms over the last three years but he has also released ALL their key
commanders and granted them amnesty?
Do
you know that many of the freed Boko Haram footsoldiers that your husband has
set free are secretly being drafted into the Nigerian Army?
Do
you know that your husband's Minister of Information, one Lai Mohammed, once
complained that Boko Haram should never have been proscribed in the first place
and that it was "unjust" for the Jonathan administration to have done
so?
Do
you know that the supposed kidnap of the Dapchi schoolgirls was a
government-sponsored money-making scam and that the only girl that was not
freed and allowed to go home was Leah Sharibu, the only Christian amongst them,
simply because she refused to renounce her faith?
Do
you know that your husband has consistently humiliated Christians, insulted
CAN, shamed the Church and treated believers with more contempt than any other
President or Head of State in the history of Nigeria since he came to power?
Do
you know that he is an ethnic cleanser whose Air Force has bombed predominantly
Christian IDP camps and communities and whose Army has colluded with Fulani
herdsmen to commit genocide and mass murder against Christian communities?
Do
you know the number of petitions and credible allegations that have been filed
against your husband and his military commanders at the International Criminal
Court at the Hague (ICC) and do you know that he has committed more crimes
against humanity and war crimes than virtually all of those that have been jailed
by that same court in the past.
Do
you know that northern and Middle Belt Nigeria is in a state of undeclared
war and that thousands of people are slaughtered by your husband's Fulani
herdsmen every day?
Do
you know how much suffering and havoc he has unleashed in our land and how much
he has tormented our people?
The
truth is that your marriage to Buhari sickens. By entering into this ungodly
union you have betrayed your calling as a priest and you turned your back on
the whole of Christiandom.
You
have also spat on the graves of hundreds of thousands of believers that your
husband has murdered over the last three years.
You
have defecated on the memories and the sacrifice of the martyrs and pissed all
over the holy scrlptures that constrains us to stand up against tyrants and
bullies, to speak up for the oppressed, the weak, the persecuted, the poor, the
falsely accused and the righteous, to fight against injustice and tyranny and
to resist evil.
Like
Macbeth you have murdered sleep, you shall sleep no more and your wickedness
shall come back to haunt you.
You
should bow your head in shame and ask God for forgiveness.
I
advise you to file divorce papers against Buhari, terminate your ungodly
marriage to him and find yourself a new husband.
Finally
consider this.
President
Donald Trump broke the news to the world that American, British and French jets
were on their way to bomb Syria
on the morning of 14th April he asked the following question:
"To
Iran and to Russia, I ask:
What kind of a nation wants to be associated with the mass murder of innocent
men, women and children?"
I
put the same question to Archbishop Justin Welby and all those that share his
unnatural affection, love and support for President Muhammadu Buhari today by
asking,
"What kind of a man wants to
be associated with the mass murder of innocent men, women and children?"
ORO NATION: RAISING PODIUMS
FOR WORTHY AMBASSADORS
Essien
Ndueso
It
was a colourful, glamorous and emotional ceremony, as an event organised to
receive two eminent indigenes of Oron federal constituency, turned out to be a
celebration of the impactful leadership of Governor Udom Emmmanuel in the
federal constituency.
At
a reception organised in honour of the Secretary to the State Government, Dr.
Emmanuel Ekuwem and President General of Oro Union, Chief (Mrs.) Janet Amba,
the Oro people turned out in their numbers, the youth, women, elders and royal
fathers to commend Governor Emmanuel for his numerous efforts at bringing back
hope to the people.
In
a dramatic show of love and appreciation, the youths rallied in solidarity with
Governor Udom Emmanuel for particularly fulfilling his promises on road
constructions, educational infrastructures, provision of social amenities,
industrialization and earnestly working to ensure Ibom Deep Seaport is
realized.
Their
general opinion was encapsulated in the few lines by the chairman on the
occasion and former deputy governor, Engr. Etim Okpoyo, who said his people
sincerely appreciated the governor for redefining their narratives in
developmental programmes and political inclusion and pledged their resolve to
continue to support him, even as he urged the governor not to relent in executing
more projects in the five local government areas of Oro nation.
During
his campaign visit to the area in 2015, Governor Emmanuel had assured the
people of Oron that he is the Oron Governor they were looking for, and that
their pains were his pains. Barely two weeks in office, Governor Udom Emmanuel
worried by the reports from the federal constituency which accommodates the
five local government areas of the third largest ethnic group in the state,
visited Oron metropolis under a torrential downpour. Governor Emmanuel
literarily wept as he walked under the downpour, and in the flood water. From
the Main Oron Road to Bassey Street and through Mainland Avenue, a road that
leads to the Maritime Academy of Nigeria, things were not just right in the
eyes of a governor whose name means right.
It
was not an interesting site to behold, as the governor found no access to the
communities in the ancient coastal area. When Governor Emmanuel promised the
Oro people that he will return, they perhaps did not believe him. In no time,
Governor Udom Emmanuel completed the construction of outfalls drains to
takeaway flood water from Oron metropolis and channeled it to the river basin.
Apart from the underground drains, he also completed the construction of five
roads which include, Mainland street, Efiat street adjoining Efiat lane, Bassey
lane, Anwana Esin street, Mary Hanny, and the Post Office street. In 2016,
exactly one year into his administration, Governor Emmanuel returned to Oron,
this time, it was to the warm embrace of the people who were amazed at the
wonders he had bequeathed in just one year.
Indeed
the story is different today as the people of Oron are pouring encomiums on the
Akwa Ibom State Governor. Residents described the road projects as amazing,
saying the state Governor has wiped away tears and decades of suffering.
Apart
from these two major dual carriage way, Akwa Ibom State Government has awarded
the construction of five new roads. This includes Atta Street, Ebo Street, Market Street, Murtala Mohammed Road and Asbestonit Road.
Market Street drainages are being linked to both Awana Esin Road and Post office Street,
complete with water channelization to serve as outfalls drainage that will
collect the flood water and channel it to the river basin.
In
Mbo Local Government Area , Governor Udom Emmanuel-led administration has
demonstrated a clear sense of commitment not to abandon any project started by
the previous administration mobilized the contractor back to site to complete
the abandoned, once very popular, Etebi- Ewang road with a Bridge, that links
Esit Eket and Mbo Local Government Areas .
Governor
Udom Emmanuel has awarded contract for the construction of the 9 kilometer Secretariat Road
that traverses Eyo Ulliong- Ediko- Uduetta in Udung Uko Local Government area
with spurs of about 3 kilometres, the first of its kind since creation of the
local Government Area. Apart from the awarded road, the State government is
also profiling Udesi road that cut across Mbo-Udung Uko –Orue Ofong Oruku Local
Government Areas respectively.
In
Okobo and Urueffong Oruko, the State Government has awarded contract for the
construction of Nung Atai Eta-Ebighi Eta-Obufi-Atabong Road with a jetty and
Uruting- Eyede-Osu Offi-Afaha Osu-Otieke-Utine-Nsie Road as well as the Ebughu
–Udesi-Oruko road.
The
Ibom Deep Seaport is an audacious attempt to change the maritime story of Akwa Ibom
State. It holds the
promise of an industrial revolution of our State. It holds the promise of the
industrialization of Akwa Ibom. Recently, to further open up the deep seaport
communities, a 55.5km dual carriage super Highway was recently flagged of to
connect Ibeno-Eket and Oron.
These
among other reasons could account for the overwhelming expression of
satisfaction and happiness on the Governor, by the Oro people during the
special reception ceremony.
Speaking
at the ceremony by the Oro Union in Oron, Governor Udom Emmanuel commended Oro
youths for being very peaceful and promised to provide more employment,
development, and empowerment in order to make them to become responsible men in
the society.
Amidst
cheers and ovations, the Governor who was accompanied by his wife, Mrs Martha
Udom Emmanuel, recalled some of the intervention works successfully undertaken
by his administration in Oro nation shortly on assumption of office in 2015 and
promised to visit the area soon for inauguration of projects.
Commending
the honorees, Dr Emmanuel Ekuwem and Chief (Mrs) Janet Amba, the State Chief
Executive said he is not yet done with his plans for the people, and spoke of
more good things to come in power supply, more roads and flood control
programmes.
The
Secretary to the State Government, Dr. Ekuwem who thanked his kinsmen for the
honour on them, said their appreciation was more for the governor who is
assiduously committed to transforming the area, and indeed the entire state.
This
appears to be the best of times for the people of Oron Federal constituency of Akwa Ibom
State, otherwise known as
Oro nation. Through quality roads network, erosion control interventions,
drainages and other health and educational infrastructure, iced with
unprecedented political recognition, Governor Emmanuel is telling the people
that they are so dear to his heart.
All
the dignitaries including the Deputy Governor, Mr. Moses Ekpo, Speaker of AKHA,
Rt. Hon. Onofiok Luke, serving and former political office holders and indeed
the royal fathers, watched with awe as appreciations trailed the governor’s
latest visit to the Oro people.
With the ongoing construction of
the Airport -Okobo-Oron dual carriage road, and other interventions, anyone can
see clearly that Oro is gradually becoming the major gateway of Governor
Emmanuel’s industrial revolution in Akwa
Ibom State.
For the Oro people, it is worth noting that at last, prophets are being
recognized by their kinsmen, while the tangible efforts of the governor in
their respective communities have won him their admiration.
Biafra and the
world: "we never conquered or dominated anyone around us who looked like
us, historically all our wars had been with the invaders during Slave trade and
during Biafran War!"
By

For: The Biafra Restoration Voice (TBRV)
At
approximately the same time, late 1700, Haitians achieved the same feat
Americans achieved. Same triumph over evil dominance. For Haitians, it was
triumph over French Slave Masters while in America it was a triumph against
Colonial Masters.
While
Americans were celebrated, Haitians were demonized. A conspiracy against the
victorious negroes was hatched in Europe by the defeated French and sold to
every non pigmented human in Europe and America and so, in a twinkle of an Eye,
Haiti, the Richest and most prosperous Colony as at that time was reduced to
abject poverty by European and American economic boycott of the new Black power
republic.
As
at the time when Whites banded together across borders to sustain their own
interests, the converse was happening in Africa.
Whites used black people to subdue black people. Somewhere in West
Africa, the Europeans met a group of proud and stubborn folks who
refused to give up their lands like their surrounding counterparts. They lived
in isolated and highly independent units and clans with no clear-cut leadership
and staged the fiercest resistance to the invaders. The most prominent was the Aro Kingdom.
The
Europeans picked dickhead blacks from the Goldcoast and Badagry which extends
to present day Benin Republic, armed the dickheads and marched them down
to Biafraland and so the dickhead blacks were used to subdue the Aro Kingdom
and proceeded to subdue other surrounding clans in Biafra.
When
people try to argue about racial superiority, i try to counter it ONLY on individual
basis, because collectively Black People lack Social Cohesion, a concept in
Sociology which the white man has used to his advantage to appear superior!
Biafrans
don't share in this blame inherent amongst Africans, despite our numbers in the
East, we never conquered or dominated anyone around us who looked like us,
historically all our wars had been with the invaders during Slave trade and
during Biafran War!

There is no clear definition of hate speech and difference between hate speech
and criticism. For some people, hate speech is a speech, which intends to
attack or insult a person or group on the basis of attributes such as religion,
race, sexual orientation, disability, gender and ethnic origin. In some
countries, hate speech is described as speech, gesture or conduct, writing or
display which incites violence or prejudicial action against a protected group
or individual on the basis of their membership of the group or because it
disparages or intimidates a protected group or individual on the basis of their
membership of the group.
Senator Aliyu Sabi of Niger
state sponsored a bill prescribing the death penalty for hate speech in the
Nigerian Senate. Some people opined that if the hate speech bill in Nigeria
is passed, it will be abused and used by the government against the opposition
or critics of the government and people will be killed wrongly because they
criticize the government.
According to
one Carol Ajie, a constitutional and human rights lawyer, "hate speech
bill is unconstitutional and unlawful and will also impede on citizens right to
freedom of speech despite the constitutional guarantees to free speech. A part
of chapter IV Bill of rights is being backed off like that, particularly in a
midsized democracy, under the cover of legislating on hate speeches, when our
statute books are replete with provisions that protect our names from unlawful
damage, that is the law of libel. The existing law punishes conduct that tends
to result in the death of others- that is unlawful death".
The international press centre has also warned the Senate against going ahead
with the passage of the bill now before it, which prescribes death sentence for
hate speech, sponsored by Senator Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi of Niger state.
The centre in a statement delivered by Lanre Arogundate, its chairman in Lagos, warned that “if
passed, the bill would crush the right of Nigerians to freedom of expression as
guaranteed by the constitution of the country”. He also asked the National
Assembly to convene a meeting with stakeholders to determine what would be
regarded as hate speech, as it has no clear definition.
If hate speech would attract a death penalty in Nigeria, it is wondered what would
be the punishment for corruption, which is the dwelling place of all the
Nigerian senators!
