With the latest declaration of allegiance by the Islamic terrorist group Boko Haram through its Leader Mr. Shekau to the Islamic state terror group, an allegiance which many view as born out of desperation of survival due to the bombardment of its strongholds by a joint West African force (Nigeria, Mali, Niger aand Chad all make up this coalition) the group in its latest quest to survive is employing various means to stay alive part of which is the distress call in form of declaring allegiance to the ISIS so as to get equipments and man power for its evil war in the North East.
This
allegiance to the Islamic state insurgents is not the first time this evil
group has made attempt to reach out to superior terrorist groups in order to
seek for attention. Recall that it also did same when it thought that al –Queda
was in contro of global insurgencyl. Now that the group thinks the Osama boys
are no longer running the shots globally, it is seeking the support of those that run
the shots which is ISIS.
This
brings me to the question of the ideology of this group. It definitely does not
have any. The Boko Haram insurgent group is a political contraption aimed at
distabilisng Nigeria to achieve the selfish and wicked desire of a clique. This
is why churches are burnt as well as mosques. Nigerians must be wise and wake
up to this reality. The declaration of allegiance by the Boko Haram sect is aimed
at buying time for the group which is aware of its impending doom.
This
same evil cabal is encouraging division by seriously supporting Buhari a
northern muslim against Jonathan a southern Christian at this point of our political
development knowing very well that such politics will foster the polarization of
our country. We must understand that Nigeria has an opportunity of being an
epitome of tribal and religious mix. But these evil people do not want such.
Will
Buhari make a better President than other northerners that will succeed
Jonathan by 2019?The answer surely is a
capital no. But the rush to chase (?) out Jonathan is embedded in this plot so
as to distabilise our dear country and pave way for evil regime. Shekau is not
the problem porn in this scheme. He may or may not know it. But he is expendable and another person with
another character will be recruited to take over. Nigerians Shine your eyes.
This
country needs peace and stability embedded in justice. This is what our support
for President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan’s reelection bid represents. Justice
would not be seen to have taken place if the north with its population chooses
to vote out Jonathan on the basis of his religion, tribe or geopolitical zone.
After all, all these religious cum ethnic jingoists if at all they come into
power, will want to rule those whom they so despise today on the basis of their
ancestry or belief system.
Coming
to the topic of this piece, we all must learn to understand the antics of these
enemies of Nigeria who are bent on using the Boko Haram sect as a smokescreen
to distabilise Nigeria and the West African region. We as a people with the
governments of the region must do more to forestall the attempt of our enemies
using Boko Haram as a tool to cause may hem. We must be careful and our
reporters and media practitioners must also learn to shine their eyes. They are
the easiest conduits which these our enemies use to propagate their evil
intentions. The distress call which was masqueraded as allegiance by the leader
of the Boko Haram sect at this period when they are been bombarded by our
allies must not be taken with a pinch of salt. Proactive measures must be taken
not to allow our region degenerate to battle field for these ISIS fighters.
