Ebele Jonathan of Nigeria…a President thoroughly overwhelmed by the affairs of State, all of which he’s clueless
WH…earnestly contending for the liberty of mankind
Minister Simmonds…wants Bashir arrested once he touched down in Chad at the weekend
As Libya entered the second anniversary of its revolution which saw the demise of monster Muammar al-Gaddafi, British Foreign Secretary William Hague, yesterday in London, reiterated his country’s unflinching support for the Islamists infested North African country.
Whilst marking the second anniversary of the Libyan revolution, Secretary Hague assured: "We will stand by them today as they build a new State. Libya has come a long way in two years. It has emerged from conflict, held free and fair elections, and opened up space for civil society and new media. We admire these achievements.”
A delighted Hague whose country played a lead role in getting rid of their bloody and tyrannical leader, pig Gaddafi enthused: “We are proud of the support we were able to give the Libyan people during their revolution, and we will stand by them today as they build a new State. We know that Libya faces many challenges, from building security to ensuring that Libya’s natural resources and wealth support economic opportunity and growth that benefits all Libyans.”
Secretary Hague added: “We also urge the Government and Congress to continue to work to build new institutions to protect the values of justice and human rights for which Libyans fought so hard; ensuring accountability for past crimes, fair trials and treatment for detainees, reconciliation between Libya’s communities, and a new Constitution to ensure equitable political representation for all Libyan people. We are determined to help in any way we can.”
It will be remembered that the British Prime Minister David Cameron last month, January, in Tripoli announced that the UK would provide additional assistance, particularly to support security and economic reforms which included providing technical and professional expertise to the Ministries of Interior, Defence and Justice, funding for projects promoting economic diversification and job creation, and continued support for civil society and the constitutional process.
Mr Hague reiterated: “We will stand by the Libyan people as they work to build a secure, free and prosperous future for their country.”
Whilst Britain renews support for Libya, its minister of Foreign Office Mark Simmonds in a strongly-worded message to the Government of Chad asked that country to meet its international obligations and arrest President Omar al-Bashir of North Sudan who was in Chad at the weekend to attend the Community of Sahel-Saharan (CEN-SAD) Summit.
Minister Simmonds warned: “If President Bashir is not arrested, this will be the third time the Government of Chad has failed to implement warrants issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. Chad has committed itself to full cooperation with the ICC, and I reiterate the importance that the British government places on such commitments. The UK expects Chad to stand by its obligations and will be disappointed if it does not do so.”
Simmonds added: “We expect all States Parties to the ICC to comply with their obligations and, indeed, all states should cooperate with ICC investigations as set out in relevant UN Security Council Resolutions.”
In another sad development at the weekend, especially following on the heels of the recent killings of foreigners by Islamist militants in the West African State of Niger, Seven foreign workers were seized and a security guard shot dead at a construction site by gunmen believed to be members of the Northern Nigerian monsters Boko Haram.
The abducted workers’ nationalities are given as Italian (1), Greek (1) and two Lebanese.
When Vigilance visited the official website of the Foreign & Commonwealth Office late in the evening of yesterday, there was no official information whatsoever to confirm the claim that one of the seized workers is a Briton.
Although as at press time, no militant sect had admitted the abductions, accusing fingers tended to be pointed towards the now ‘owners of Nigeria’, Boko Haram who have in the last four years of their operations proved abler than the Nigerian security agencies, hence the phrase “owners of Nigeria”
In the onslaught at a construction site at Jama’are, Bauchi State, Nigeria, a security guard was believed to have been killed as the attackers targeted the workers there.
Despite Vigilance’s incessant warnings in its editorials to the Nigerian Authorities to deploy security personnel to guard all its critical infrastructure and beef up security where they do exist already and ensure adequate security in all very vulnerable areas including places with preponderance of foreigners, but all our warnings have fallen on deaf ears…and so long as they don’t seem to know what to do in the face of local threats to national security, the activities of these beasts from the desert are likely to continue for a long time.
All these are happening in a country whose five ex-Heads of State, namely: Esau of Nigeria, General Yakubu Gowon who like Esau has since traded away his birthright in the Nigerian Federation; self-righteous Olusegun Obasanjo who like an excited school boy never hesitates to castigate Jonathan openly of being weak, the jihadhist Muhammadu Buhari who has missed a place in the heart of posterity for failing to use his The Pastoral Resolve to internationalize the plight of the Fulani Borroros, despite all our advice to him even while still in Nigeria; the serpent and desert dragon Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida who planted the seed of religious war in Nigeria when in 1986, he alongside Northern emirs smuggled Nigeria into the Organization for Islamic Conference and sleep-walking Abdulsalami Abubakar who speaks out only when he suddenly wakes up from his slumber. Ludicrously, that country’s Senate President David Telephone-is-not-for-the poor is a retired military officer too, and funny enough, they all have the words “security strategist” on their individual resume and so boast about such professional accolade.
Ironically, the crumbs-seeking press in Nigeria refer to these tribal jingoists and religious bigots as elder statesmen, statesmen indeed! A bunch of elders without native wisdom, who lamentably do not know when to sheathe swords for the sake of the very country they had all fought the civil war to keep together and rally round the sitting President to help him, but often openly display their crass ignorance and stupidity by criticizing the serving President in the public, a folly aimed at getting sensational headlines, when they can do so over a dinner, lunch or breakfast with their President.
What all these dream and destiny killers do not know is that Boko Haram is simply exposing all their secret scheming and ethnic leanings of yesterday, especially all those things they had done and failed to do whilst their locust reigns lasted. These all, including the serving and retired security personnel in that country should bury their heads in shame for feasting and playing ethnic and regional politics in the face of grave threats to national security. Boko Haram and other emerging sects, with more now being hatched in the desert are in fact, their very Frankenstein monster, especially those Nigerian leaders from the North, who of course, collectively have created these monsters to fight their fellow compatriots and create a state of insecurity - anarchy - as currently the case.
All these so-called statesmen including Shehu Shaa-garri and Show-nekan MUST hold an emergency meeting with President Goodluck Jonathan, ever waiting for the goodluck train, this week on the state of the Union, failing means they are no true Nigerians.
Once again, we warn: Nigeria’s cyberspace and all her critical infrastructure, Nigeria - complacent South and North, together, very especially, repeat, VERY especially, the foreigners in their midst, more than ever before remain very, very, very VULNERABLE!!! Not many words, but just a word is enough for the wise.
