The Federal Government of Nigeria has not come out to reject the incriminating statements made by its employed Chief Boko Haram negotiator, Dr. Stephen Davis, from Australia, who three days ago named former Chief of army staff, General Azubuike Ihejirika and a former governor of Borno state, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, both ruling party members, as the top sponsors of the Boko Haram deadly sect that has killed more than a hundred thousand Nigerians and displaced over four million, mostly farmers in the nation’s north.
For some reason I bet the Jonathan government will never discredit him because they know he knows much more he is not yet saying and they will not want to risk him getting bitter and telling Nigerians much more of the truth they are dying, literally dying to know.
It can be concluded that the ex-military chief is a top sponsor of Boko Haram. The inefficiency and gross sabotage of the military and military operations over the past four years of his reign are living and dead testimony of his membership role in the organization. Well noted military abandonments of post prior to Boko Haram attacks, the facilitated transfer of Nigeria’s best weapons, armored tanks and APC’s (taken up north to “combat the terrorists) by the military to Boko Haram throughout his tenure and continuing today are further evidence of his support of the group.
The question Nigerians now ask is, why? Why will a Christian army general from the southeast sponsor a group that is promoted as being radical “islamist?”
The answer must lie between or be a combination of the following:
Retired general Azubuike Ihejirika is likely a loony Biafra Zionist fanatic. His interests lie in the destruction of the north of the nation which he blames for the defeat of Ojukwu’s Biafra secessionist attempt. This will explain why the Nigerian military men drafted to protect a well respected former general, who fought valiantly on the Nigerian side against Biafra, late General Muhammed Shuwa, were described to have withdrawn and looked on as the general was assassinated at his home. Of course General Ihejirika not court-martialing these men proves his involvement.
General Azubuike Ihejirika would have been enjoying the havoc caused by Boko Haram on the north along with the handful of fellow loony fanatics like himself that always celebrate the deaths and destruction to the north and call it “pay-back,” not mindful of the fact that hundreds of thousands of innocent people who were not even born during the civil war; and millions who did not participate in any way are the majority of victims.
There are hundreds of cases worldwide where people and States act in like fashion with conspiracies to undermine others they hate. In many of these events, these mischief makers even sacrifice their own in false-flags to achieve their ulterior goal.
It is evident that General Ihejirika did not mind as Boko Haram continued to murder Nigerians in the north. He vehemently opposed the request for additional troops made by the then Chief of defense, Ola Sa’ad Ibrahim to curb Boko Haram’s onslaught. It can be recollected that by May last year, Boko Haram had taken over 2/3rds of Borno and the General still rejected the demands for the needed troops and was seen driving in convoy’s in Abuja building his multi-billion hotel.
It was later that May, after we released a high level intelligence report, alerting the world about the permitted occupation of the north by ragtag terrorists, that Nigeria’s President and the General were finally forced, reluctantly, to declare a State of emergency and finally draft the needed troops.
It can also be recollected that as soon as victory was in sight and the first “Shekau” was killed by the then Joint Task Force – in August of 2013 – that the Nigerian president and General Ihejirika stopped the successful coordinated JTF-CivilianJTF assault on Boko Haram and re-deployed all troops with knowhow of the war; and created a docile 7 division army that was now “banned” from cooperating with the CivilianJTF and would leave Boko Haram to recover and re-establish their assault on the farmers of the north.
The ex-general was fulfilling the dream of the handful of fanatics who believe self-determination can only be gotten through murder. Many of us will fight for the liberation of not only the Igbo States if the people so desire, but also every Nigerian zone that wants sovereignty and self-determination; but one must not and need not shed a drop of innocent blood to achieve this and any other goals.
Corruption is also a motive for his actions sponsoring Boko Haram. The alleged war against terror is a great source of wealth for the army chiefs. A quarter of Nigeria’s budget goes to financing this war and yet several reports, some by ENDS and others by SaharaReporters have exposed how the Nigerian army has been severely underfunded. Soldiers sleep and eat in shameful condition. They wear substandard gear and sometimes two army divisions are combined to one unit to half the cost of operations. The billions allocated to the war on terror have been swallowed by Nigeria’s executive government and the top army chiefs. Soldiers complained to us that they are given only two rounds of ammunition to defend barracks’ with instead of 10 times that, the minimum required allocation. Soldiers complained that they had to beg the armory for rounds. The former General was stuffing his mouth with money for the army beyond belief.
He has been reportedly constructing mansions and ultra-modern hotels on the money for Nigeria’s defense. Clearly the preservation and continuation of the war was in his interest and is still in the interest of Nigeria’s army chiefs as it gives them stupendous wealth under in the “democratic” era where they are out of government.
The ex-General made an inadvertent confession of the sabotaging of the needed development of the Nigerian army in his rascally diversionary attack on the person of El-Rufai when these accusations were first published. He admitted and alleged in that statement published in the Vanguard that “it was because money was not spent on the army that Boko Haram was successful.” So #WhereIsOurMoney? Is it money for the Nigerian army that he spends on Boko Haram? What wicked treachery!
If I may add a third reason- the former army Chief is a known as a PDP ruling party potential gubernatorial candidate for Abia State. The ruling PDP party has always utilized Boko Haram as a means of tarnishing the image of their opposition. It can be recollected that the former Party chairman and a best friend of the President, Bamanga Tukur, still on public salary, said, “Boko Haram is fighting for justice, Boko Haram is another name for justice.” General Ihejrika on this basis would have been doing the party’s bidding by destroying the north, most especially opposition States.
We must thank the Chibok grls for their prayers which the Lord is answering by revealing the identities of those doing this to them and their people. Davis said that it was in consideration of the abducted Angels that he decided he must speak out. The Lord Answereth. Amen, Amen, Amen to their prayers. Nigerians can bet on more revelations and more of the Lord’s Wrath to the rascals and oppressors in the coming days and months.
Meanwhile the nation waits as it expects these sponsors to be arrested in the coming days; else the Jonathan government will be again more seriously implicated in Boko Haram sponsorship. [myad]
Well, Chidinma, I'll overlook ur abusive and insulting language in ur comment and also refrain from giving it back to you, bcos, as a Muslim, my religion and culture abhors such derogatory action, while also, practical Muslims will not be provoked into satanic tendencies. However, I challenge you to address the facts with the realities on ground. Naturally, u will be inclined to defend ur Igbo brother, but that is something that could be sustained only if u profess faith in God only theoretically, but actually practice 'tribalism' as a religion in practical life. Having said that, please kindly explain to us how was it possible for a rag-tag insurgents to have access to dozens of military-coloured pick-ups while hiding in the forest? What about their Armoured Vehicles having Nigerian Military colours as observed by their victims? Chidinma, how do u explain that under Ihejirka's supervised 'State of Emergency', the Boko-Haram murderers continuously access the roads with their trucks and armoured vehicles to unleash mayhem on the innocent citizens for hours without any hindrance from Ihejirka's troops? Pls explain to us why is it that whenever the BH are to strike critically in some areas, military check points are moved away – like the issue of Buni-Yadi, where innocent and hapless youngsters in Fed. Govt College located there were brutally slaughtered? Can u explain the murder of Gen. Shuwa amidst the presence of military personnel all over the area and the terrible silence from the leadership of the Army? What about the reported Helicopters that have been suspected of deliveries to the insurgents as reported in the media? Chidinma, u claimed that churches and Igbos were the main target when the insurgency started, pray If I may ask, what is the number of Igbo's killed so far, compared to the Muslims even in the beginning when Muslim clerics were targetted? Can u exonerate tribally the Igbos caught in Bauchi State who attacked and killed people in a Church, ostensibly, to put the blame on the evil BH? What about your Igbo brother Ogwuche who was arrested by the Interpol as the mastermind of the Nyanya bombing? I believe u will argue irrationally as usual that he is not guilty. Very well, u may continue to call us fools and other denigrating vocabs; please urselves. But remember this… no matter what u do, God's plan for any group of people can never be reversed; while retributions shall be visited upon the wicked who believes he or she can kill innocent lives created by God.
What a useless article compiled by a useless northern muslim bigot! Ihejirika is and will remain the only Chief of Army Staff who was succesfully containing the boko haram insurgency in the North. During his time as Chief of Army Staff, the terrorists were beginning to diminish in numbers as many of them were killed and the others arrested. But the northern elders and elites who are the major sponsors of boko haram pressurized the President to remove him because he was "spoiling their market". Just as it i always expected of muslims all over the world to blame non-muslims for their woes, some northeners who think from their anus are pointing accusing fingers at him with some of them shamelessly requesting that he should be dragged to the ICC for GENOCIDE…how laughable! If ihejirika as claimed in this article said that what was happening in the North East was pay back time for the north, he has every right to say so because when the killings started in the North East and churches and Igbos were the main target, no one raised an eye brow and many muslims celebrated it but now the southerners and most christians have left the area and these insurgents saw no christian and churches to attack, they decided to desend on their own. If the northeners are so serious in dealing with insurgency that is ravaging them like a rapist who takes pleasure in anal entry, they should grow balls and confront elders and elites (one of them being a former bank executive) who are the major sponsors and financiers of boko haram and expose them rather than pointing accusing fingers on a polished igbo Army personnel who was doing his duty diligently
