Boko Haram members, masquerading as christian preachers, killed over 100 people in a community in Borno state yesterday. They dressed up like pastors, told the people to come out and listen to a sermon and after they had gathered they butchered them.
This sort of thing is happening yet some people in our country are still refusing to acknowledge the fact that this matter is not only political but that it is also religious.
They refuse to accept the fact that Boko Haram is being supported and sponsored by some wahabbi-inspired salifist forces in North Africa and the Middle East in conjunction with some key members of the northern Nigerian ruling and political class. If this were not so where do all the weapons come from?
We must continue to insist that our government does far more to protect
our people, (and I have done far more of that than most) but we must
also ensure that we condemn Boko Haram itself for slaughtering the
innocents and for terrorising our people.
Doing the former without the latter, as so many of our people have been doing in the last few months and years, does not make sense to me and neither is it going to solve the problem.
