I am not surprised by the resurgence of BH and their new found barbarity, courage and zeal. Military checkpoints have been removed from our roads so what do you expect?<\/p>\n<p>Boko Haram suspects are now being kept in prisons in the eastern part of the country in order to &#8221;spread the word&#8221; and no less than 182 Boko Haram suspects were released on the Presidents orders just a few days ago. Is all this just a coincidence or is something that is dark and sinister now afoot in our country?<\/p>\n<p>Whatever each of us may or may not believe, one thing is clear- that Boko Haram now have powerful friends and secret allies right at the epicenter of power and those friends and allies are running the affairs of the country.<\/p>\n<p>There is a much wider picture unfolding here which the Nigerian people have yet to see and which they find difficult to accept, understand or comprehend. There is a hideous and frightful hidden agenda which is slowly manifesting before our very eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Though we warned them, the Nigerian people wanted &#8220;change&#8221; so they must live with the consequences of their choice. One of those consequences is the new-found audacity, courage, growing power and rising strength of Boko Haram.<\/p>\n<p>Another is the resurgence of a clearly ethnic agenda which is designed to leave no-one in doubt about who really owns Nigeria and who the slaves are.<\/p>\n<p>Another is the destruction and demystification of Bola Tinubu and his yoruba loyalists by his erstwhile northern allies in the APC.<\/p>\n<p>Only a fool did not see that one coming and I am rather surprised that Tinubu&#8217;s followers are now crying foul and alleging that there is a northern conspiracy. Didnt they know that before? Were they not warned over and over again?<\/p>\n<p>There are many other grave consequences which the Nigerian people will witness, in a most harrowing and frightful manner, in the next few months and years. May God deliver our people and our nation and may we learn to make the right choices.<\/p>\n<p>Like \u00b7 Comment \u00b7<br \/>\nShare<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Femi Fani-Kayode Anyone that honestly believed that a man who secretly shares the same vision and core principles of Boko Haram and who spent many years defending them can do anything but give them a free hand when he comes to power is living in cuckoo land.
