I read in the Sun Newspaper of Saturday, 11th August GEJ saying that the reason he can't be hard on the dreaded Boko Haram sect is because they are his (not ours) 'brothers'. Now, what I gathered from that piece is that the newest member of his attack dogs has taught his master a new trick. The trick, like the previous ones, is fashioned out of deliberate mis-conception, mis-interpretation, and mis-representation. If you think this isn't the case, then explain why Okupe will refer to someone as a younger brother, only to condemn, malign, and impugn on that same person's intelligence in the same breath. Knowing Okupe and how he french-kissed ass, and talked his way into his present employment, we all saw his ranting for what it truly was, a clueless, albeit misguided attack on one perceived to be the enemy so as to please his master, thereby keeping the flow of the bones and scraps from the master's table constant.
Apparently, 'the master' was impressed with the bravado of his latest attack dog, which led him to borrow a few words from the new boy. But being the total personification of the term 'clueless', the master used the borrowed term, 'brother', to the detriment of his already bewildered 'leadership'.
To refer to members of BH as brothers, is so disturbing, disheartening, and discouraging in very many ways to every Nigerian, even to BH themselves. Who does he expect will be pacified by such reasoning? Is it the numerous Muslim and Christian families who have lost irreplaceable loved ones to the group? Or those who have been forcefully displaced and turned into refugees in their state of origins where they ran to in a bid to escape the wrath of the group? Or maybe those of us who are not sure if we would be the next victims of the group while we go about our day to day to activities?
For those of you who would applaud such twisted reasoning of 'the master' by saying that he is being a true Christian, I must say that you've been reading the bible upside down. I do agree that there is no race, religious sect, and ethnic group of human beings, that weren't created by GOD, and that HE also gave the 'Thou shalt not kill' commandment. But, it was the same GOD who directed the people of Israel on very many occasions to totally wipe out their enemies, sparing neither male nor female, young nor old, humans nor livestock. Such directives even came years after the commandments were given. I don't think GOD has changed HIS mind since then.
The BH group, have declared in more ways than one that as far as Nigeria is concerned, they are the enemy within (not counting the members of the cabal and the occupants of the Villa). This enemy is not sparing the young or the old, the high or the lowly, Muslim or Christian, northerner or southerner. Everyone is a potential victim. This is why everyone should be disturbed when 'the master' of the government that is meant to be in charge of securing the lives of the citizenry says that he can't be hard on his 'brothers'. Is he so clueless that he can't appreciate the cost of such a stand? Or does he think he can take such a stand because he and his kind are safe and immune to the fireworks and mayhem of the BH group because they are in the villa? If that is the case, he should be made aware that every innocent blood that is shed, every innocent life that is lost due to his inaction, indecision, incompetence, and ignorance, is on his head. And he will answer for them sooner or later. His attack dogs wont save him when the time comes.
