The Enemy Within – A Final Warning To Nigerians – Femi Fani-kayode

For your own sake and for the sake of your family and nation please take what you are about to read very seriously and please endeavour to read it to the end. Take it or leave it, this is my final warning and admonition to the good people of my beloved country Nigeria. After this I shall watch how things unfold and maintain a studied silence. In the Book of isaiah 54:15 the Holy Bible says “surely they shall gather but it shall not be of me: whomsoever gathers against thee shall be scattered for thy sake”. To add to that in the second Book of Timothy 1:7 it says “God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power, love and sound mind”. It follows that we the Nigerian people must not live in fear or believe that all hope is lost despite the raging storm that we are passing t...

Sunday Igboho And The Threat Of War By Femi Fani-kayode

For soldiers to escort murderous Fulani herdsmen back to a community in Ogun state from which they were earlier evicted and then to publicly whip members of that community for evicting them simply begs belief. Have the people of the South West now become slaves in their fathers land? Have we finally been conquered and occupied? It is utterly mind-blowing. It is wicked. It is evil. It is unacceptable. How much more bloodshed, carnage, violence, insults and humiliation are the people of the South West expected to take? Soldiers are whipping our people like dogs in the street in order to reinstate those that are killing, raping and maiming them? Is our Army a Nigerian Army or a Fulani Army? Are the Fulanis superior to all others? Are they above the law? Is the Presidency a Nigeri...
