ONGOING MASSACRES, ETHNIC CLEANSING AND GENOCIDE IN THE MIDDLE-BELT AND SOUTHERN NIGERIA: TIME TO CHOOSE BETWEEN LAMENTATIONS AND STRATEGIC ACTION – Tony Nnadi, NINAS, October 1, 2021.

As we grieve yet again, for the Mass-Murder in Southern Kaduna, and as we anticipate several other attacks in the making, in diverse locations stretching to Benue and Plateau, there must now emerge a critical core and even mass of People from the Territory under siege, who should realize that lamentations are no longer adequate and who should know that Strategic action targeting the source of the onslaught, has become absolutely inevitable. Strategic Action that must be outside the Ground Rules imposed by that Enemy Slaughtering our People.

We are caught in a most vicious but undeclared War. The rampaging enemy comes into our space in the name of a Fraudulent and thoroughly disputed “Nigeria” in which it (the enemy) exclusively set the ground rules in a manner that effectively tie our hands to the back and criminalize every form of self-defence by us, while flaunting to the World, the Democracy operated under a Worse-than-Apartheid Constitution that make us slaves with no rights whatsoever, including the right to life or property.

Unfortunately, that Disputed Union and its False Democracy under which we are merely Slaves-waiting-to-be-Killed, is Reinforced every Four Years by Elections in which our Participation directly translate to the Reinforcement of our Slave-Status and the Authorization of our continuing Extermination.

Has the time not come for us to pull back from this Cycle of Quadrennial Validation of our own Damnation (Elections), by which we help sustain the continuing Festival of Blood and Harvest of Death for our Traumatized, Impoverished and Trapped Communities, as a way of Demonstrating our Honest Resolve to end that Evil Cycle?

If at a time the Alliance of the conscious lot in the Territories Caught in this War (South & Middle-Belt) and under the Siege of a Viciously Implacable Enemy, are striving to extinguish the source of our Collective misery by shutting down the Voyage to the next round of Validation in 2023, we choose to join that Voyage, for whatever reasons, then we are a great part of the Problem we lament.

The choice to be made now is clear:

EITHER to Proceed with our Killers and Tormentors to the Voyage of Renewing the Source of our Miseries yet again in 2023 (Elections);

OR

to join the South/MB Alliance (NINAS) working frantically to halt that Voyage now (ie inside Q-4, 2021) and Extinguish the now known source of our Miseries (ie Constitution-Aa-Validated-By-Elections).

All arguments seeking to justify the journey to 2023 under a 1999 Constitution that Guarantee the Killing, Impoverishment and Enslavement of our People, are simply rooted in Ignorance or Dishonesty, driven mostly by Self-Seeking Motives and therefore our Lamentations fall more into the realm of Hypocrisy than anything else.

We can do much better, even as we look up to God for Mercy, both upon the souls of our murdered People and the Trapped Living awaiting their own turn for Attacks.

Again, I say: We can Do much Better.
