END OF MULLAH OBASANJO’S FALSE PRETENCES.
And the struggles for separation continues.

OBASANJO’S DECEITS ON THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY.
and DEMOCRACY NEGATES FORCIBLE TOGETHERNESS.

For more than seven years Obasanjo has lived a mendacious existence. On
behalf of his Islamic Northern overlords, he fools the world to think that,
they believe in democracy, while they maintain the togetherness of the 300
disparate tribes in Nigeria, by means of brutal force. They impose
censorship on books, newspapers and journals to deceive the world of the
existence of very strong separatist movements all through the South. In this
way, they give the world a false understanding of the monster nation. This
constitutes a grave deceit to the international community. They intimidate
people with charges of treason. And their State Security Police are
constantly accused of assassination of dissidents. At every given time
several youths from the South are “Charged with the Offence of Treason”
which are never tried ; only to keep dissidents on Indefinite Preventive
Detention as was popular among African despotic rulers in the sixties.
Albeit, these treason charges are beginning to enable people to realise the
very fragile nature of Nigeria. In fact Nigeria stands today as the most
fragile country in Africa. The several treason charges have also exposed the
nervousness of Mullah Obasanjo’s regime. And they also bear testimony of the
brutal force applied to maintain the façade of unity, in the bloody conflict
ridden monster Nigeria. Then again , Mullah Obasanjo fools millions of young Nigerians to believe that he was capable of making the country respectable, and peaceful, despite
its abnormal origin that makes it a monster that kills and harasses its own
peoples. He fooled the people when he pretended that he was capable of
attracting foreign business to the conflict ridden Nigeria, and therefore
reduce crime rate and improve living standards. He fooled the people to
think that he was capable of stabilising the ever plummeting Naira to a
strong and constant value and position. Since Mullah Obasanjo came to power,
the Naira has lost its value more than five hundred percent. The Mullah
pretended that he , (not Abiola) was the Messiah, implying that he was the
person able to redeem the people of Nigeria from the frustration and the
misery that cause frightening mass emigration among, the old, as well as the
young, particularly in the South. We scramble out of Nigeria as if the
country is caught by deadly lava ejecting volcano. Mullah Obasanjo spoke
like someone able to eradicate corruption, even among newspaper editors and
journalists, who in expectations of land allocation in Abuja and other forms
of bribery, refrains from using relevant stories seen to be unfavourable to
the regime. To this extent and in addition to the imposition of censorship
imposed on newspapers and journals, it is impossible to know the accurate
situation of the horrors in monster Nigeria , except through foreign media
and newspapers. Today, with the exception of the fourteen Islamic states,Nigeria

, particularly the Niger Delta and its neighbouring states including,
Anambra, Imo and Abia, are police states. In these state the media including
newspapers, journals and magazines have been subjected to censorship. And
they are controlled by the State Security Services torturers many of whose
members are notorious assassins. The newspapers affected by censorship
include Global Star, Eastern Pilot, News Desk, Freedom News and several
others. Many of the newspapers in the country have been so intimidated that
they dare not publish, even the story that concerns their own freedom; as
well as the freedom of some of their fellows. As the late Ebenezer William,
of the West African Pilot and of the Daily Times. Their mouths are full of
corrupt food ; they cannot speak.
Fortunately, the bloody Mullah woefully failed; and his evil dream to be
president for a third term, has been chattered and frustrated; even by the
Islamic North that made him President in the first place. Obasanjo is now
seen as the most despicable politician in all of Africa. Those who put him
in power have rejected him. Only those who cling to him because they’re > bloody fools, try to support him on account of their own foolish and evil
agenda. Unfortunately, some of them are politicians from the mercilessly
exploited Niger Delta. Albeit, they are of an absolutely different wave
length from the masses. During the rest of his time as president, the Mullah
will be solitary, as those who ever used him, will now sharply shun him like
a plague. Obasanjo has fooled millions abroad to think that the FORCE which
holds Nigeriatogether, had been replaced by democracy. He himself began
to provide the reasons for that when he began to clamp down on people
struggling for separation by charging them with treason after failing on his
deceitful Comic Conference early last year. The conference on Strengthening
Democracy failed to achieve its purpose which was to trick the people into a
sort of referendum, that the bloody foolish Obasanjo would claim as desire
to live together. Thank God , that it failed. But it enabled the world to
realise that , the country continues to be held together by FORCE, Military
Force. Besides Sudan, Nigeriais probably the only country in the whole
world today, that is held together by force. Even in Nigeria, treason trials have been few up to the period of Obasanjo.
In 1962, after Awolowo’s treason trial, there were none until 1996 when
Abacha used it to get Obasanjo sentenced to death, to the delight of
millions all over the country. Only international organisations saved him.
Today, Obasanjo is using that very weapon of treason on others. But in his
own case, his regime uses the charge of treason as a substitute for
Preventive Detention. which the early leaders of Ghanaused to keep to
suppress opponents of the regime. Treason trials are very rare all over the
world. It is used only by desperate despots against their foes. In Nigeria
such foes are only seen in the Christian South.
That Mullah Obasanjo spends all his daft brain working for the Islamic
Northern Nigerians that put him in office is not in doubt at all. After the
Abiola episode as many of us can remember, the Yorubas in the South
threatened secession. This frightened the Islamic North. They had fought a
civil war and subdued the Igbos in the East as well as their neighbours in
the Niger Delta. They feared a second secession would succeed having regard
to the temperature of the present world. Yet to recall Abiola would be a
loss of face to them. So, Obasanjo who had impressed them since 1966, when
unlike the rest of the South, he did not acclaim the Nzeagwu coup. That
impressed them and from Gowon upwards they had patronised him more than any
other person from the South. Abacha saw him as an evil man and punished him
through treason trial. His was sentenced to death , but the intervention of
foreign politicians saved him and the sentence of death was commuted to jail
terms. On the death of Abacha and later Abiola, both said to be in
mysterious circumstances. The North released Obasanjo from jail. They then
cooked a constitution and made him a candidate for election as president. He
has absolutely no following. He was sworn in as President in May 1999.
Hardly three months later all the Islamic Northern states one by one
declared Sharia with fanfare of killing Southerners, burning down their
churches and driving them away form their states. More than fifteen thousand
Southerners were killed. Obasanjo, the newly elected president did nothing.
Nothing at all. Earlier these very Islamic Northerners had registered the
whole country an Islamic nation. The South condemned their action, and there
were bloody conflicts in which several lost their lives. That was how Nigeriabecame an Islamic nation officially. To the Northerners it is a pride and a glory. To the Christian Southerner, particularly from the wholly Christian NigerDelta and their neighbours , it’s a shame and humiliation.
The country pays huge revenue to the Islamic Association and the Islamic
Brotherhood that stretches from the Islamic North through the Sahara Desert
to the Coast of the Mediterranean and beyond.
What affects any one Islamic community anywhere in the world, affects all of
them wherever they may be. And so even in the Islamic states in Nigeria,
there were several demonstrations against the dishonour of the Prophet’s
picture by a Danish newspaper in February this year. In Nigeria’s Islamic
North, the demonstration was more bloody than in any other part of the
world. In The Islamic Northern Nigeria more than 300 were reported killed.
Those killed were all Southerners who as civil servants must work there.
Very few Northerners work in the South. In Maiduguri alone it was reported
that more than 65 were killed. There the morbid demonstrators covered a
Catholic priest with an American flag, then set him on fire. They danced
around the body as burnt to ashes. There are no investigation. Let alone
arrest and prosecution by the Mullah Obasanjo’s regime. Mullah Obasanjo is
dead scared of the Islamic Brotherhood. He dare not touch any one from the
Islamic North. They are so powerful that they also have their own exclusive
police they call Jihad Police. In Niger the Islamic North remains the big
Secret Cow. Ever untouchable at all. But Mullah Obasanjo’s pet victim of
every sort of killing remain mainly the Niger Delta. There is no other way
for us but separation as the permanent solution.
If Mulah Olusegun Obasanjo is not a foolish politician, he must be a very
ignorant leader who is uninterested in the history of his own country and
therefore knows nothing of it, including its origin; that is quite recent.
In 1999, he had ruled Nigeria either alone as head of state or in the ruling
cabinet, for as long as eight years. In September that year, 1999, he told
Mr. Peter Hain, a British Cabinet minister whose ancestors created Nigeria
and gave its name, that “The trouble in Nigeria is like that of a husband
and his wife; it is being exaggerated” Such a simplification of the never
ending bloody conflicts that have gulped the lives of millions, make many in
Nigeria to think that Olusegun Obasanjo is very foolish; unless he is very
ignorant. Now by the imposition of censorship, he is preventing the people
from reading and learning the literatures and the publications concerning
the country. They say “There’s no fool like an old fool”. That is to say,
the foolish behaviour of an old person, who is expected to have learnt
wisdom from his experience, appears even more foolish, than that of a young
person. It’s such a pity; in a country with so much absence of informative
materials, and literacy, their leaders impose censorship on informative
materials. It’s terrible. And as foolish as he is, Mullah Olusegun
Obasanjo employs several attack dogs that bark and bite those who dare to
criticise him. More than anything he fears genuine criticism. And he acts
and performs as desired by the powerful Islamic Northern establishment that
puts him in office. So the people can never, never progress, unless they
separate.
