Nigeria doomed unless …, says Fani-Kayode

Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode has described Nigeria as a nation under God’s judgment and argued that until Nigeria apologises to the Igbo people of South-East over killings during the Nigerian/Biafran war, the country will “continue to wallow in blood, death, sorrow, failure, shame, poverty and carnage.”

In a series of tweets on Tuesday, he said Nigeria must offer an unreserved apology to the Igbo people of the SE for the genocide, ethnic cleansing and mass murder that was unleashed on them during the civil war where over 3 million Biafrans were slaughtered (1 million of them children) in the space of 3 years during that conflict.

“This represents the greatest act of black on black genocide on the African continent in history. It is only surpassed, in terms of casualties, by the bestial acts of King Leopold 11 of Belgium when he and his subjects slaughtered 10 million Congolese during the colonial era.

“Nothing can go right in Nigeria till a genuine and heartfelt expression of regret for what we did to the Biafrans is tendered by the leadership and people of our country and some form of restitution and compensation is made.

“The mass murder, ethnic cleansing and genocide that we are witnessing today in Nigeria and which is being inflicted on us by a callous, brutal, heartless, cold-blooded and wicked horde of strangers and homicidal maniacs that came from a foreign land 200 years ago is a spiritual consequence of what we did to the Biafrans in the war.

“Until then Nigeria will continue to wallow in blood, death, sorrow, failure, shame, poverty and carnage.  Why? Because we are a nation under God’s judgment.”

Fani-Kayode also said President Muhammadu Buhari in the first four years of his government allegedly divided Nigeria and set up a legacy of hate and destruction which will eventually divide the country.

In a post on his official Twitter handle on Tuesday, he said, “Over the last 4 years @MBuhari has divided Nigeria and established a legacy of hate, suspicion, bloodshed, terror, carnage and destruction.

“Over the next 4 years Buhari will break Nigeria and his legacy will be the most terrible and brutal evil that the world has ever known.”
