“Today, like vintage wine, they have
matured with age and some have gone
further to obtain a doctorate.
“There is a need to ask why some of the
military trained in England, while others
went to Pakistan and India immediately
after independence.
“The impression is that Pakistan was
chosen to strengthen Islamization and
weaken democracy.

Pakistan is not a role model
“Pakistan’s endemic poverty, widespread
corruption, and often an ineffective
government created opportunities for the
recruitment of Islamists.
“Poor education is of particular concern, as
millions of families, especially those with
little money, sent their children to religious
schools or madrassas.
“Many of these schools provided the only
available opportunity for an education, but
some have been used as incubators for
violent extremism.
According to the commander of the Karachi
police, there are 859 madrasas teaching
more than 200,000 young people in his city
alone.
“It is difficult to overstate the importance of
Pakistan in the fight against Islamist
terrorism.
Within Pakistan’s borders there are 150
million Muslims, dozens of Al Qaeda
terrorists, many Taliban fighters and
perhaps Usama Bin Ladin, Pakistan
possesses nuclear weapons and has been
terribly close to war with nuclear-armed
India , for the disputed territory of Kashmir.
“A political battle between anti-American
Islamic fundamentalists, the Pakistani army
and the more moderate dominant political
forces has already turned into violence, and
there have been repeated recent attempts
to kill the President of Pakistan, Pervez
Musharraf.

“Finally, Pakistan has made little progress
towards a return to democratic government
at the national level, although that turbulent
process continues to function at the
provincial level and the Pakistani press
remains relatively free. [The 9/11
Commission Report, pgs 367- 368].
“We must not forget what Lugard wrote
about the North:” The government did not
interfere in indigenous Koranic schools, in
which Arabic reading and writing and the
Ajemi character and memorization of
passages from the Koran formed the
curriculum.
“They were estimated at about 25,000 with
more than a quarter of a million students.
These Koranic schools had produced a
literary class known as ‘Mallamai’, learned
in Arabic and the teachings of the Koran
and commentaries, from whose ranks the
officials of the Native Administration, the
judges of the Native Courts and the
exponents of the creed of Islam was
attracted. “They are a very influential class,
some of them widely read in Arabic
literature and law, and deeply imbued with a
love of learning. [Lugard and the
Amalgamation of Nigeria, Kirk-Greene pg.
149]
Lugard was therefore the architect of two
conflicting ideologies for Nigeria:
democracy and sharia, all designed to
weaken the influence of educated southern
Nigerians.
“The two ideologies, in fairness, should
have been able to compete without the help
of the British Empire in promoting Sharia.
“We have a situation in Nigeria similar to
that of the healers in South Africa, namely
the conventional doctors.
“While we can quantify the ratings of
conventional doctors, the rating of healers
is subjective. The traditional healers of
southern Africa are practitioners of
traditional African medicine.
“They fulfill different social and political
roles in the community, including
divination, curing physical, emotional and
spiritual illnesses, conducting rituals of
birth or death, searching for lost cattle,
protecting warriors, fighting witchcraft. and
the narration of the history, cosmology and
myths of its tradition.
“The Sharia, on the other hand, is very
much like the traditional healer: unwritten
and uncertain, as only the healer knows
what constitutes a qualification.
Sudan is not a role model
“Sudan, at that time, the model for British
administration in Africa, has failed and
today there are two countries and recently
announced that it has gotten rid of the
Islamic State for a secular state.
“Former Sudanese President Omar al Bashir
is now languishing in jail. Part of the report
reads: “Sudan is emerging from the
international isolation that began shortly
after Bashir took power in 1989 and
implemented a hard-line interpretation of
Islamic law that sought to make the country
the” of the Islamic world. “
“Al-Qaeda and Carlos the Jackal settled
there; The United States designated Sudan
as a sponsor of terrorism in 1993, and then
imposed sanctions until 2017. ” [Sudan
Ends 30 Years of Islamic Law by Separating
Religion, State, September 04, 2020].
“This does not mean that the United States
or any European country is a model.
“All we are saying is that Nigerian youth
should appreciate that democracy is still
the best form of government invented by
the human mind, while we rank Sharia as
inferior to democracy, in which case Nigeria
has nothing to do with the duplicity of
Common Law and Sharia. jurisdictions. It
should have common law jurisdiction only.

Traditional healers and Sharia judges
“The Supreme Council of Sharia in Nigeria
(SCSN) has suggested that the governor of
Kaduna state should execute the pardoned
in 1992 today 2020, after they have fully
served their sentences.
“We refer to General Lekwot and six others.
Lekwot joined the army at the same time as
President Buhari and both, among others,
were appointed governors on the same day:
Buhari to the northeast, Lekwot to Rivers.
“Buhari has kept quiet on this issue. We
know that President Buhari is unhappy with
the way Babangida treated him, even
though they both had the same ambition in
staging the 1975 coup, but Lekwot, as a
Christian, was not competing with him for
leadership.
“It is pertinent at this juncture to assert
that the overthrow of Buhari by Babangida
is permitted under Sharia law, as is the
execution of Mammam Vatsa for
contemplating the overthrow of Babangida.
These were allowed under Sharia (jihad).
“The treatment of former Heads of State
who were Muslim against former Heads of
State who were Christian such as Gowon’s
involvement in the Dimka coup without
evidence and the recent ‘liquidation’ of his
Yakubu Gowon Center by the Buhari
administration, Obasanjo’s trial in The
trumped-up charges for which he was
convicted of treason, following a kangaroo
court, were all jihads under Sharia.
“The same act in different circumstances
can constitute treason and execution or a
place in the presidential mansion. It is
necessary to stop this duplication.

Nigerians need to understand how and why
this country came to the brink and a better
explanation cannot be found in the book
‘Religion, Politics and Power in Northern
Nigeria, published in 1993 by Rev. Fr.
Matthew Kukah. , as it was then, who
wrote: “Therefore, we conclude that the
debate on the secular status of the state is
primarily the debate on the size of the
crumbs on the teacher’s table.
“Furthermore, it is no coincidence that the
problems of religious violence have
become so decisive in the Babangida era.
“In fact, the protest has penetrated all
segments of society, as all are forced to
join the fight for survival. “The
administration has combined the policy of
divide and rule, as devised by the colonial
administration, with the policy of what has
turned the state into a fiefdom.
“The Babangida regime has ensured that by
keeping the civilian population engaged in a
relay race of agitation, the administration
can achieve two things. First, the
government has broken all organized
opposition by sponsoring rival factions in
all elections. This started with the Nigerian
Labor Congress (NLC), then the Academic
Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), the
Student Union, the Nigerian Bar Association
(NBA), etc.
“In all these cases, against the current of
popular opinion, the candidates sponsored
by the government, backed by the federal
power, have always won the elections.
“From then on, the organizations either
became pro-government or remain locked
in internal disputes.” [pg. 243]
“This was quintessential Stealth Jihad. It is
very clear that the policy of divide and rule
culminated in policies of democracy and
sharia.
“The turmoil relay race continues and
having mastered the art of sponsoring rival
factions, it has reached the level of
establishing Christian denominations with
Sharia components.
“Morality is now being replaced by cash as
Christianity and democracy are monetized.
The foundation was Act No. 1 of 1961
mentioned above.
Truth and Reconciliation Commission
“President Obasanjo created the Human
Rights Violation Commission or Oputa
Commission that is being remembered
more for what it did not do than for what it
did, particularly in the use of the
technicality for the protection of three
former heads of state at that time by of the
Supreme Court that protected them from
appearing before the Commission.
“What is striking, however, was the fact
that Christian heads of state and generals
were willing to testify: General Obasanjo,
who was also President at the time,
testified, also General Theophilus Danjuma,
who, in In a spirit of reconciliation, he had
the opportunity to embrace Umaru Dikko,
the victim of failed plans to bring him back
to Nigeria.
Ernest Shonekan, on the other hand,
testified in private and showed bitterness
towards Sani Abacha who overthrew him.
“Will it be necessary to create another
Truth and Reconciliation Commission to do
a complete job?
“The answer is yes, but in another way:
look into the past without judgment, judge
the present and question the future of
Nigeria based on the recommendation of
young people, including those like Omoyele

conclusion
“The question of secession in any form
must be discarded. It is not a solution.
“The British used secession as a ploy to
give the North an advantage over the
South.
“Then the East came with a legitimate
reason for secession but it was prevented.
“Since then, secession has been the
signature tune for dissent. We of the NCEF
vehemently oppose the split, as it is a
coward.
“In any case, Christian and ethnic
nationalities built Nigeria.
“Several Nigerian professionals have moved
abroad and are doing very well in their new
home. They cannot legitimately be replaced
by Negroid from African countries.
“Sheikh Gumi in his autobiography wrote
‘Certainly the orientation in southern
Nigeria in general was to copy the white
man. Sophistication was measured in terms
of how this was achieved, which is why
individuals went to great lengths to appear
“European, often for lack of affirmative
cultural support to do otherwise.”
“It continues:‘ Until 1946, not a single
person represented the Northern Region in
the national government of Lagos. Part of
the problem had to do with a labor
shortage, as there were hardly any other
recognized high schools in the north at the
time, apart from Katsina Training College.
“In fact, the Northern Region administration
was made up almost entirely of British
officials and staff from other parts of
Nigeria and the West African sub-region.
“I clearly remember when we only had Igbo
and Ghanaians as traders in Sokoto; they
also bought products from farmers and
sold them to European companies ”.
[Where I Stand: Sheikh Abubakar Gumi, pg.
119]
These honest statements do not support
President Buhari’s interpretation of the
federal character. The echelons of the three
arms of government, the Legislative, the
Judiciary and the Executive in 2020, are
occupied by a single Northern (Fulani) tribe
that constitutes less than five percent of
the population of Northern Nigeria.
“This, we believe, helped reduce Nigeria to
a state bent towards a failed state.
“NCEF is taking this opportunity to thank
and thank General Obasanjo for inviting
Afenifere, Northern Elders, Ohaneze, Middle
Belt Forum, PANDEF and others to
collectively warn everyone, including Mr.
President, that Nigeria is rapidly slipping
into a failed state.
“In this letter, we are saying that our British
colonial masters had two policies regarding
colonial Nigeria. One, developed by
Whitehall through lectures, etc., which was
translated into the 1960 Nigerian
Constitution and the other, by the man on
the spot, Lugard, and subsequent
Governors General after him, built by the
intelligence services and designed to create
contradictions in governance to contain
black and the black race.
“The other mistake that Nigeria has made
over the years is the use of old methods,
tried and failed, to try to solve modern
problems.
“A good example is a situation where a
healer / healer is appointed to the position
of medical director.
This is what is happening in Nigeria today.
“The solution to the Nigerian government
problem is that this administration is trying
to use colonial solutions like the British did
in the 19th century.
“There is no need for Nigeria to have two
competing systems of governance,
democracy and sharia, under the guise of a
traditional Western administration.
“In either case, the two systems must be
open to public debate and scrutiny.
Nigeria cannot succeed in admitting
democracy through the front door and
Sharia through the back
“This can easily be done by all Nigerians of
this age. Nigeria was a creation of Great
Britain through Lugard.
“To reinvent Nigeria, we must agree on a
mandate and how to achieve this mandate,
not two, a Nigeria that is a nation, an
ideology and a future that accepts Boko
(Western education) and does not consider
it haram (sacrilege).”
