AN OVER ALL VIEW OF INFORMATION ABOUT THE KIDNAPPING
BOKO HARAM AND THE CHIBOK AFFAIR; THE EMERGING AND UNCOMFORTABLE FACTS
Rally at the Nigeria Embassy on the 7th May Representation of The Afro in Diaspora Center by the CEO Susuana.O.M with the support of various groups, women and communities leaders here in Ireland. The RALLY is At 10am -1pm. Wear red to show we are against violence. 56 Lesson Park. Dublin 2.
This is our concerned as Mothers, Fathers and Youth of Ireland have decided to have this peaceful demonstration, that we need to focus worldwide attention on the plight of the over-200 young girls who were abducted from their school on April 14, 2014 in Borno State, Nigeria, by so called terrorists. They are yet to be rescued and the authorities are not saying anything. As a human being, parent, It is unacceptable that this should happen and mothers, politicians and people in general are not keeping quiet.
The kidnap took place in Borno State one of the 36 state in Nigeria.
Myself Susuana with Celebrities, Nigerian Ambassador For Peace in Diaspora (Ireland) Amb.Vickie Robert Okere, The lovely Model Patience Olufemi which I adore, Our own Man Angel Michael and the beautiful Delta Connection and supporters rallied at the Nigerian Embassy in Dublin Ireland today 7/5/14. The several hundred peaceful demonstrators called for accountability, Enough is Enough, the return and reintegration of more then 200 kidnapped Chibock school girls.
The Obama Administration is dispatching officials to aid recovery efforts in Nigeria for over 250 kidnapped girls captured by the Boko Haram militant group. The Secretary of State spoke with Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday to discuss the plan
What Boko Haraam leader, Shekau said in his video to all Nigerians!"I am going to marry out any woman who is 12 years old, and if she is younger, I will marry her out at the age of nine, just like how my mother, Aisha, the daughter of Abubakar, was married out to Prophet Mohammad at the age of nine."You are all in danger, I mean all of you.
"I am the one who captured all those girls and will sell all of them. I have a market where I sell human beings because it is Allah that says I should sell human beings. Yes, I will sell women, because I sell women.
"I captured and abducted girls in a Western school, and it became a worrying issue for all of you. You have forgotten that I have said that it is not only girls' education I am against. I am against everyone who attends a Western school. Girls should go and marry.
"Slavery is allowed in my religion, and I shall capture people and make them slaves, don't think we are done yet because we are not”. We are on our way to Abuja and we shall also visit the South, not to look for Jonathan but to destroy the nation's refineries.
"Talking about human rights and democracy nonsense” People that are doing same-sex marriage and saying they are leaders."I will imprison Jonathan's daughter” Anyone who turns to Islam will be saved. For me, anyone that embraces Islam is my own. Stupid Jonathan, you will be surprised. Until the land is soaked with blood
"You said you want to capture me. Surely, you will one day. But I will also haunt for Jonathan, and if I catch him, I will kill him.
"Do not think I am indispensable, I am not. Anybody can kill me. Even the smallest of creature can kill me. But when you kill me, somebody more deadly will rise, and you will cry that you will rather have me than him, just as you now say that Yusuf Mohamed is more lenient that me."I am a leader, I don't have any president; I am my president.
"Late Aminu Kano, Late Tafawa Balewa are not Muslims, they are all pagans. I am going to kill all the Imams and other Islamic clerics in Nigeria because they are not Muslims since they follow democracy and constitution. Senator Ali Modu Sheriff is a pagan, Senator Ali Ndume is also a pagan and they are all inclusive. I am against democracy and you should better get prepared.
"It is Allah that instructed us, until we soak the ground of Nigeria with Christian blood, and so-called Muslims contradicting Islam. [We will kill and wonder] what to do with smelling of their corpses, smelling of Obama, Bush and Jonathan. Then we will open prison and imprison the rest. Infidels have no value."This is a war against Christians and democracy and their constitution. Allah says we should finish them when we get them.
"In fact, you are supposed to wash and re-wash a plate Christian eats food from before you eat as Muslims. Are Christians the people we should play with? They killed us in Shendam, Zangon Katab and all the places. It is either you are with us or you are with them, and when we see you, we will harvest your neck with knife
Now that the operational leadership and visible face of Boko Haram, in the person of the filth called Mr. Abubakar Shekau (aka Darul Tawheed), has finally admitted that they were responsible for the abduction of hundreds of our school girls and that they intend to ''sell them in the market like slaves'', This will enable us to understand the nature of whom and what we are dealing with and allow us to consider what the appropriate response ought to be if we really want to solve the problem.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has told us that 90 per cent of the girls that were abducted from their school at Chibok were Christians. The President himself alluded to this yesterday during his media chat when he said that ''the majority'' of girls that were abducted were Christians. The following have also been brought to my attention:
1. That the majority of the girls that either ''escaped'' or were released by their abductors were Muslims.
2. That the Governor of Borno state refused to accept the counsel and abide by the directives of WAEC that the exams should not take place in Chibok due to the precarious security situation and instead he insisted that the exams should take place there and that he would guarantee the security of the children.
3. That the girls that have been kidnapped are being raped up to 15 times a day by their captors and that those amongst them that have refused to convert to Islam are having their throats cut (read the testimony of one of the girls that ''escaped'' on page 8 of the Vanguard Newspaper, 5th April, 2014).
4. That there was not a single adult in the school grounds watching over the 278 girls that entire night apart from one security man and that there was no electricity, no generator, no principal, no matron, no house master and no house mistress in the grounds with them.
5. That the children were all alone in their dormitories that night in the blistering heat and deepest darkness before the Haramites arrived to carry them away into captivity.
6. That two of the ladies that met with the First Lady on 4th April and that held themselves out as representatives of the families of the abducted children did not in fact have any link with the children or their families at all and hence they were arrested for impersonation.
7. That the soldiers that were guarding the school in Chibok were redeployed a few hours before Boko Haram launched their attack and abducted the children.
8. That this was a predominantly Christian school and that Chibok is predominantly a Christian town and community.
In my view these facts are relevant and instructive. When one considers them, the picture of what really happened at Chibok on that tragic night, what the real intentions of the abductors and their secret sponsors were and what is really going on now is getting clearer by the day.
Ordinarily whether the children are Christians, Muslims, pagans or atheists really should not matter because, regardless of their faith, we want them all back and we must fight for them all to be returned to their homes and loved ones.
However the fact that 90 per cent of them are Christian adds a sinister and frightening dimension to the whole horrific episode and it is glaring evidence of the fact that Christian girls are now being targeted by the Islamists and that those girls are being ''sold in the market'', being forced to convert to Islam and being turned into sex slaves.
Let me put it on record that I am of the view that it was a monumental error for the police to arrest the two ladies that were part of the delegation that went to see the First Lady on April 4th despite the reasons adduced for doing so. That single action was an unnecessary distraction and an abuse of power. Worst still it left the Federal Government and the Presidency itself open to a lot of criticism and accusations of insensitivity and high-handedness.
This is especially so given the fact the fact that the two ladies, from what I have been told, are both very prominent members of one or two of the groups that have been agitating for the release of the girls. Those that ordered their arrest are making things far worse for the Government and it is increasingly clear to me that as a consequence of this single action they are fast losing the little goodwill that they may have left with the Nigerian people. If the war is to be won such errors must be avoided and the government must work hard to win back the confidence of our people.
I am one of those that believe that the Federal Government has failed woefully in their primary duty to protect the Nigerian people and I have enunciated that position more than anyone else in this nation in numerous essays and contributions over the last three years. However I honestly believe that today the problem has become so serious and pronounced and that the conflict has reached such a critical stage that criticising and lambasting the government alone will not help. The truth is that such an approach has certainly has not achieved much in the last three years because nothing has changed.
I believe that it is time for us to change tactics in order to achieve better results even though we must not relent in demanding that our President and his security and intelligence agencies do their job properly and provide the necessary security for our people. We also need to understand and appreciate the fact that this matter goes way beyond politics. It goes way beyond whether you are for or against Jonathan.
It goes way beyond whether you are in the APC, PDP, APGA, Labour or UPN. It goes way beyond whether you are a progressive or a conservative. It goes way beyond whether you are a Christian or a Muslim or whether you are from the north or the south.
The bitter truth is that regardless of wherever you come from, whatever your faith is and whichever side of the political divide you stand, we all have a duty to get to the bottom of this matter, join forces, close ranks, find out what is really going on and bring this nightmare to an end. We must join hands with all men and women of goodwill and, together, we must fight this insidious evil that seeks to envelop our land and overwhelm our people.
To be sure there is only one thing worse than failing to protect your people and that is when you organise and mobilise some misguided and mentally unstable miscreants to use religion as a political tool and get them to blow up, kill, abduct, rape and maim innocent men, women and children in an attempt to destabilise the country, spark off a religious war, change the status quota, pull down the government, induce a military coup, dismember our country and cow the Nigerian people into submission.
That is what those that are the secret supporters and sponsors of Boko Haram are doing and attempting to achieve. They are also interested in furthering the sinister and barbaric agenda of the Taliban, the Al Nosra Front, Al Shabab, Islamic Jihad, Hamas and Al Qaeda whose wish is to destroy the secular state and to establish an Islamic fundamentalist state. They wish to establish a radical new caliphate in the west African sub-region where Christianity and moderate Islam is banned, where women are treated like sub-human beings and chattel and which is governed by the strictest form of Islamic Sharia law.
To this end it is interesting to note that the evil is spreading. A glaring testimony to that sad fact is the fact that an Army barracks was attacked by Boko Haram in the Camerouns on 5th April and after killing two army officers they freed all their fellow terrorists and Islamists that had been detained there. What is going on is dangerous, bloody, vicious, heartless, brutal, deep, dark and sinister and it is a conspiracy of monumental proportions. It is a conspiracy which we have all fallen victim to. It is a conspiracy that is fuelled by secrecy and strengthened by the reluctance of those that know better and that know the truth to speak out and expose it.
It is a conspiracy that also receives massive funding and covert support from various governments and Royal families in the Middle East whose support for the salfists is well known and whose wahabbi doctrines and philosophy is exceptionally dangerous. These are the type of people that we are dealing with and these are the times that we are living in.
It is left for the President and his team to rise up to the occasion, tell the Nigerian people the bitter truth about all that is going on behind the scenes, remove the kid gloves, get real and fight the Haramists and their sponsors with all that he has got.
If he refuses to do it or if he is cowered into not doing so by the moderate and dovish voices that appear to be around him, he can be rest assured that sooner than later this country will break up and he will go down in history as the last President of a united Nigeria. Worse still if he is not careful there may well be a military coup which will not be welcome by any right-thinking person and which everyone dreads. We must assist him as best as we can to ensure that this does not happen.
I have little doubt that the President knows who those that are behind Boko Haram are: it is now time for him to exercise his full powers, expose them and deal with them in a brutal and savage manner.
It is time for him to show strength and to lead us into this war against terror boldly. It is time for him to be a Commander-in Chief that we can all be proud of. It is time for him to use his full power and to detain and interrogate all those that he suspects may be linked to the terrorists.
It is time for him to rise up to the occasion and to crush the evil and the forces of darkness that have challenged our way of life, everything that is dear to us and indeed our very existence. It is time for him to use every method known to man to vigorously fight the insurgency, including better intelligence gathering and the usage of ''black ops'', ''wet boys'', covert operations and maximum co-operation with various foreign and international intelligence and security agencies.
It is time for him to ruthlessly bomb the notorious and Boko Haram-infested Sambisi forest with nepam and burns it, together with everything and everyone that is in it, to the ground. It is time for him to exercise the right of ''hot pursuit'' and to pursue the Haramites into the Cameroun’s, Chad, the Niger Republic or anywhere else if and when it is necessary for him to ever do so.
It is time for him to prove to the world that the Nigerian people are not insensitive cowards and that we know how to fight and to protect our own. It is time for him to rise up and to exercise the full powers and authority of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It is time for him to do whatever it takes to bring our girls back home and to let us hold our heads up high once again.

James Olanrewaju Omiyinka (a.k.a) Baba Ijesa, the name given to him due to his ability to mimic an old unintelligent man. His emergence on the scene has gone a long way to change the face of comedy, especially in the “Yoruba Movie Industry”. When discussing serious matters with him, one is bound to laugh because of the way he talks, which he says is an inborn and inherited of an old man on set, but a young man in real life, Baba Ijesha is an actor, a comedian, a dancer and now a singer whose presence cannot be overlooked most especially in the “Yoruba Movie Industry”.
He joined the movie industry naturally as nobody introduced him to it. It was just a natural thing he felt. James could remember when he was in primary school, he started by entertaining his friends and classmates. He inherited it from his dad. His father used to be a local champion comedian anywhere he went, people laughed over and over. James says his dad was a joke cracker. He started in the early 80s as an actor playing funny part and after relocating to Lagos it became a professionally job. Though initially when he was a local champion in his own town, James never saw what he was doing as something that could enable him get three square meals on his table, one thing led to the other and here his today travelling around and in Ireland.
James has just hit the market with a new hilarious comedy titled "Dangote" which he’s coming here to Ireland to share with us in Ireland. Baba Ijesa assures fans of a never-ending laughter, suspense, thrills and excitement in the new and sensational comedy and satire.His job is causing thrills and frills, sending shivers of laughter down your throat and keeping you at the edge of your seat with excitement. He is also a renowned and paid anchor at events to keep your audience aglow with fun, come and join us on the 13th @ our only NOBORING JUNCTION, also to celebrate the life of Nelson Mandela, our MADIBA.
