| [DAILYPOST.NG] Apparently worried by the alleged capture of some communities in the northern part of the country by Islamic religious group, Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... , the traditional regent of Mbosi in Ihiala Local Government Area of Anambra State, Okey--Joe Onuakalusi, Wednesday, cautioned the Federal government against ceding any part of the nation to the sect. The monarch recalled that the sect, which had since been declared a terror organization because of the havoc it wreaked on innocent people of the country, was now talking of takin over some parts of northern Nigeria as its own territory. He said, "The illusory sovereignty of the Nigerian Nation can neither be negotiated with a terrorist group that has no regard for sanctity of human life nor entrust to rascals who neither have respect nor regard for life. "Nobody should expect a compromise of an inch of the territorial integrity of the nation". He blamed some Moslem leaders and their politicians for not playing their role as respected faithful. "Sadly, let us examine this unfortunate scenario in three different fronts, firstly it is an indictment on the leadership and ideological failure in the Moslem world, especially in Nigeria. "Often times, we are being told that Islam is a religion of peace, but a group of the same adherent takes gun without any provocation, to kill and slaughter their prospective converts in the name of the same religion and their leaders turn blind eyes and remain indifferent in the face of cruelty", he added. |
