'The Evil Called Barack Obama' and the Genocidal Slaughter of Nigerian Christians
[PJMedia] Not only is Nigerian president Muhammadu Buhari behind what several international observers are calling a "genocide" of Christians in his nation—but Barack Hussein Obama played a major role in the Moslem president’s rise to power: these two interconnected accusations are increasingly being made—not by "xenophobic" Americans but Nigerians themselves, including several leaders and officials.

Most recently, Femi Fani-Kayode, Nigeria’s former minister of culture and tourism, wrote in a Facebook post:

What Obama, John Kerry and Hilary Clinton did to Nigeria by funding and supporting Buhari in the 2015 presidential election and helping Boko Haram in 2014/2015 was sheer wickedness and the blood of all those killed by the Buhari administration, his Fulani herdsmen and Boko Haram over the last 5 years are on their hands.


Continued from Page 4


John F. I was in Vietnam, you know Kerry
Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat, conqueror of Cambodia, unsuccessful presidential candidate, and utterly failed Secretary of State...
’s and Crooked Hillary Clinton
...former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away. Politix is not one of her talents, but it's something she keeps trying to do...
’s appeasement of 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...
—an Islamic terror organization notorious for massacring, enslaving, and raping Christians, and bombing and burning their churches—is apparently what connects them to this "sheer wickedness."

For example, after a Nigerian military offensive killed 30 Boko Haram gunnies in 2013, then secretary of state Kerry "issued a strongly worded statement" to Buhari’s predecessor, President Goodluck Jonathan
... 14th President of Nigeria. He was Governor of Bayelsa State from 9 December 2005 to 28 May 2007, and was sworn in as Vice President on 29 May 2007. Jonathan is a member of the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP). He is a lover of nifty hats, which makes him easily recognizable unless someone else in the room is wearing a neat chapeau.Other than that he's pretty useless as the Boko Haram debacle shows..
(2010-2015), a Christian. In it, Kerry warned Jonathan that "We are ... deeply concerned by credible allegations that Nigerian security forces are committing gross human rights
...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty...
violations" against the terrorists.

Similarly, during her entire tenure as secretary of state, Clinton repeatedly refused to designate Boko Haram as a foreign terrorist organization, despite nonstop pressure from politicians, human rights activists, and lobbyists—not to mention Boko Haram’s countless atrocities against Nigerian Christians.

"Those of you that still love the evil called Barack Obama
That’s just how white folks will do you....
," Fani-Kayode added in his post, "should listen to this short clip and tell me if you still do." He was referring to a recent Al Jazeera video interview of Eeben Barlow, a former lieutenant-colonel of the South African Defence Force and chairman of a private military company hired in 2015 by Jonathan, when still president, to help defeat Boko Haram.

"In one month," Barlow said in the interview, "we took back terrain larger than Belgium from Boko Haram. We were not allowed to finish because it came at a time when governments were in the process of changing," he said in reference to Nigeria’s 2015 presidential elections. "The incoming president, President Buhari, was heavily supported by a foreign government, and one of the first missions [of Buhari] was to terminate our contract."

On being asked if he could name the "foreign government," the former lieutenant-colonel said, "Yes, we were told it was the United States, and they had actually funded President Buhari’s campaign, and the campaign manager for President Buhari came from the US. And I am not saying the United States is bad—I understand foreign interests—but I would have thought that a threat such as Boko Haram on the integrity of the state of Nigeria ought to be actually a priority. It wasn't."

Fani-Kayode was quick to add in his Facebook post that it would have been the priority had Obama not been president: "I just thank God for Donald Trump
...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party...
," the former minister said in the same post. "Had he been President of America in 2015 things would have been very different, Jonathan would have won, Boko Haram would have been history and the Fulani herdsmen would never have seen the light of day."

Fani-Kayode and Barlow are not alone in accusing Obama of "heavily supporting" and "actually funding" a presidential candidate who, since becoming president, has increasingly turned a blind eye to the worsening slaughter of Christians at the hands of Moslems—that is, when not actively exacerbating it, including with jet fighters. In 2018, former president Jonathan revealed that,

On March 23, 2015, President Obama himself took the unusual step of releasing a video message directly to Nigerians all but telling them how to vote... Those who understood subliminal language deciphered that he was prodding the electorate to vote for the [Buhari/Moslem-led] opposition to form a new government... The message was so condescending, it was as if Nigerians did not know what to do and needed an Obama to direct them.

Between 2011 and 2015, and supposedly because they were angry at having a Christian president, Boko Haram slaughtered thousands of Christians, particularly those living in the Moslem majority north, and destroyed countless churches. In 2015—and thanks to Obama—Nigeria’s Moslems finally got what they want: a Moslem president in the person of Muhammadu Buhari.

As seen, however, not only did he immediately rescue Boko Haram from imminent defeat, as former lieutenant-colonel Eeben Barlow has now revealed; but atrocities against Christians have gotten significantly worse since Buhari replaced Jonathan—they are now regularly characterized as a "pure genocide"—particularly at the hands of Moslem Fulani herdsmen, the ethnic tribe whence Buhari himself happens to hail. Thus according to a March 8, 2020 report titled, "Nigeria: A Killing Field of Defenseless Christians,"

Available statistics have shown that between 11,500 and 12,000 Christian deaths were recorded in the past 57 months or since June 2015 when the present central [Buhari-led] government of Nigeria came on board. Out of this figure, Jihadist Fulani herdsmen accounted for 7,400 Christian deaths, Boko Haram 4,000 and the ’ Highway Bandits’ 150-200."

How and why Fulani primitive have managed to kill nearly twice as many Christians as the "professional" gunnies of Boku Haram—and exponentially more Christians than under Jonathan—may be discerned from the following quotes by various Christian leaders and others:

  • "They [Fulani] want to strike Christians, and the government does nothing to stop them, because President Buhari is also of the Fulani ethnic group."— Bishop Matthew Ishaya Audu of Lafia, 2018.

  • "Under President Buhari, the murderous Fulani herdsmen enjoyed unprecedented protection and favoritism... Rather than arrest and prosecute the Fulani herdsmen, security forces usually manned by Moslems from the North offer them protection as they unleash terror with impunity on the Nigerian people."— Musa Asake, the General Secretary of the Christian Association of Nigeria, 2018.

  • Buhari "is openly pursuing an anti-Christian agenda that has resulted in countless murders of Christians all over the nation and destruction of vulnerable Christian communities."— Bosun Emmanuel, the secretary of the National Christian Elders Forum, 2018.

  • Buhari "is himself from the jihadists’ Fulani tribe, so what can you expect?" — Emmanuel Ogebe, Washington DC-based human rights lawyer, in conversation with me, 2018.

Based on all these developments, statistics and accusations, it seems clear that the Moslem president is behind the unfolding genocide of Christians in Nigeria—and Obama helped.

#5 From the Rantburg archives: back in 2013 former Muslim Brotherhood member Walid Shoebat shared Egypt’s accusation that Barack Obama’s half brother Malik Obama was in charge of the Muslim Brotherhood’s international investments. Malik (in full Abon’go “Roy” Malik Obama) was the best man at Barack’s wedding to Michelle, and head of the Barack H. Obama Foundation.
