Biafra: Buhari Has Destroyed Nigeria – Anglican Bishop
The Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Afikpo, Ebonyi State, Rt. Rev. Paul Udeogu, on Saturday said President Muhammadu Buhari’s unfavorable style of leadership has left many Nigerians in anguish.
Udeogu revealed this in Uburu community, Ohaozara Local Government Area of Ebonyi State during the ongoing 2nd Session of the 4th synod of the Anglican Diocese of Afikpo.
He lamented that the nation’s economy was in comatose while hatred, unemployment, nepotism and injustice had become the order of the day.
The cleric, however, cautioned the president that history would never forgive him if the country disintegrates under his watch owing to his lopsided style of leadership which tends to favor a section of the country.
According to him, Buhari was yet to bring the change he promised Nigerians while canvassing for votes from the people.
The Bishop, therefore, called on President Buhari to address all the problems confronting the nation and unite the country before the 2019 general election.
“The Nigerian nation is at the verge of collapse. History will not forgive President Muhammadu Buhari if Nigeria collapses or disintegrates under his watch. It is not enough to declare that Nigeria will not disintegrate under his watch.
“Let our president cause righteousness, equity and justice to flow like rivers of water in our country. Agitations will continue as far as we continue to witness lopsided appointments, maltreatment of the Igbo as if they are not Nigerians simply because they did not vote for the president in 2015 general election,” said Udeogu.
He berated the federal government for designating IPOB as a terrorist organization, pointing out that the president was unfair to the agitators.
He reasoned that instead of using the military to suppress the agitators, it would be better for the federal government to dialogue with them for lasting peace to reign.
“In as much as we may not completely agree with the methods of IPOB agitation, but to designate IPOB as a terrorist group like Boko Haram is unfair, unfortunate, discriminating and appalling.
“Fulani Herdsmen/militants have attacked a lot of communities in the South West, Middle Belt and South Eastern part of the country killing several people including pregnant women and children.
“For example, in April 2016, they murdered more than 100 farmers in Ukpabi Nimbo in Enugu state. In Benue State, they also killed about 500 farmers in Agatu. None of these Fulani herdsmen or militants was arrested and no operation Python Dance was launched against these”, he said.
The cleric commended the South East Governors for their concerns to restore peace in the area even as he urged them to do more for their people.
“It is not enough to proscribe IPOB, the Igbo people want to see a responsible, patriotic, selfless and exemplary leadership. Instead of quarrelling, our Governors and leaders should be united and champion a common course for the South East,” Udeogu said.

Letter of Apology.
By Linda Ikeji
MY APOLOGY TO GOODLUCK JONATHAN.
Is there anyone close enough to former president Goodluck Jonathan who may be reading this post? Please tell him that one unknown quantity is seeking for his forgiveness.
I am asking for his forgiveness for the reasons I’ve carefully itemized below.
1. On chibok girls
I was among those that lampooned him for being too slow to track down the abductors of the school children. I have to apologize to him because only recently, a serving minister threatened to implicate a governor on his role in the abduction saga. I told myself wait a minute, did I hear what I just heard? And I cast my mind back to when people said that the abduction was a stage managed plot to ease him out of power. I joined others then in calling such individuals, “conspiracy theorists” and “evil people”. The story is getting clearer
Dear Jonathan,
in my haste or ignorance then, I couldn’t ask myself these simple questions:
* how about 270 human beings could be loaded into trucks and just vanish from a city center.
*how none of the school authority could place a single phone call to the head office of any security outfit to confirm who authorized the evacuation as they said the abductors claim.
* why the principal who ought to be sacked and prosecuted for gross negligence, was elevated to the position of a commissioner shortly after. Whether it wasn’t a reward for a job well executed?
Dear Jonathan, even now,
* the army has overrun Sambisa forest where the girls were said to be kept and still no trace of them is found.
* surprisingly, they are being released from “somewhere” in batches! Thank God that there are no traces of forest marks on their sleek skins. We eagerly await batch two. Hopefully, APC will secure the release of the last batch before 2019 as one major achievement for it to be voted again into power.
2. On corruption
Dear Jonathan,
I join others to insult your government because I thought then that the people in your government were thieves. Little did I know that compared to what we see today, they were mere pickpockets. Under the watch of our current anti corruption Messiah,
* government officials use hundreds of millions of naira of IDP funds to cut grasses in the sandy sahel region.
* billions of naira and millions of dollars, raw cash, are dug out of a house in a highbrow area of Lagos. The owner of the money is unknown and the said house lacks owner and C/o.
* $25 billion contracts are currently said to be wrongfully awarded by NNPC GMD to phoney companies.
Dear Jonathan,
Your former NSA, Dansuki has been held incommunicado for $2 billion. Your man’s money is 2% of their man’s. Even if Desiani’s and other monies allegedly stolen by all those who served under your government are put together, they will not amount to 40% of what one man is currently alleged to have fingered.
In light of the above, dear Jonathan, find it in your heart to forgive me. I allowed myself to be deceived by smooth talkers and propagandists. People who hid under a hypnotic change mantra to deceive the minds of the simple. They promised to fix electric power in six months, build new refineries, pay monthly salaries to jobless graduates, feed school pupils and stamp out corruption. Who wouldn’t fall for these lofty things?
But alas, since they shoved you aside, things have gotten worse in every front. Their first act was to jack fuel price up from N85 to N145. Something you tried and we gave you headache through our “occupy Nigeria” protests. We can’t dare raise a single voice now. Next their ill advised economic policies caused prices of commodities to triple. They called it recession and blamed it on you. No light, no road, no food, no security from attacks of herdsmen. The only means we use to cry out, social media, they want to shut it by draconian laws.
If we agitate, they unleash trained pythons and crocodiles on us. There is God.
Jonathan, I am truly sorry.
We are sorry!.
