An Open Letter To Nigerian Hausa Fulani Muslims Leaders and their Poor Masses
Dear Northern Muslims Leaders and Talakawa Masses,
The most well educated Muslims in the world are busy building their nations and not destroying them like the Muslims in Nigeria who have been destroying the northern states of Nigeria. Only five northern heads of state were fully committed to nation building.
The others were destroying Nigeria by corruption as Boko Haram is doing with terrorism.
The most patriotic Muslim heads of States in Nigeria since independence in 1960 to date.
1. Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, Prime Minister, 1912–1966.
2. General Murtala Ramat Mohammed, July 29, 1975 - February 13, 1976
3. President Shehu Usman Aliyu Shagari, October 1, 1979 - December 31, 1983.
4. General Mohammadu Buhari, December 31, 1983 - August 27, 1985 who is now back as the new President of Nigeria.
5. President Umaru Yar'Adua. May 29, 2007 - May 5, 2010.
If Umaru Yar'Adua had not died, thousands of the unfortunate victims of Boko Haram would not have been killed, because he was more competent, efficient and incorruptible than his successor former President Goodluck Jonathan who exploited the political conflicts in Nigeria to enrich his political mafia and oil cartel from the Niger Delta to Lake Chad.
Nigerian Muslims should see the peaceful states of their fellow Muslims and their nation buildings in the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Iran, Jordan, Morocco, Brunei Darussalam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Maldives, Turkey and even in Mauritania.
Many northern governors have misappropriated the billions of naira in revenue allocations which they should have invested in the modern development of their states. They love sending their families to Dubai, but have left their own Muslim states in ruins with majority of their people living like dogs on the street. And now many of them I see outside the northern states in Lagos, Oyo and Ogun are still living like dogs, because they have been deceived and fooled by their clerics and Imams not to be as ambitious as their fellow Muslims in the other Muslim regions of the world as identified above.
I have seen a Mallam in Lagos with his petty Shoprite in a residential block where he is a security guard and he has a car, but he has no home. He lives by his kiosk and uses the nearby drainage as his bathroom and toilet and his male child who even goes to a free Lagos State primary school nearby also lives with him by the kiosk without any mattress or pillows. The father sleeps on a mat, but his son sleeps on the bare floor. And when he goes to the mosque, he will wear his best clothes and put on his best shoes and drive his clean car like a normal and sane human. But even Allah knows he is intellectually re-tarded. And majority of them in Nigeria are like that. Majority of them in Lagos prefer to live in uncompleted buildings and ramshackle structures where they have no bathrooms or toilets. Go to the Hausa Muslims quarters in Ijora-Apapa suburb of Lagos and you will see the full picture of my illustration.
Almajiri in their Qurʾanic school where their brainwashing starts by half educated Islamic clerics and Imams. They are children of the downtrodden poor masses. But the children of the rich northern elites go to world class government schools or private schools in Nigeria or overseas.
Until you stop your political and religious conceit and deceit to cheat and exploit your Talakawas and Almajiris, the scourge of terrorism will continue to torment you and you will never know peace.
Don't breed the dogs you cannot feed, lest they will bark and bite you and your children one fateful day.
"They sow the wind and reap the whirlwind. The stalk has no head; it will produce no flour. Were it to yield grain, foreigners would swallow it up."
