Fellow steemians,with tears in my cheeks i wish to share with you what i called conspiracy in Nigerian government. I wondered and wondering why our government that suppose to protect us the citizens turned to be thorns in our flesh. Our security that suppose to be their first priority has been politicized. Please i would like to use this medium to ask for prayers, advices and suggestions so as to give hope to our hopelessness.
You all will bear me wittiness when the boko haram saga started in our country, it was sounding like play or mere jokes while the lives of our citizens, women and children been waste in quest of selfish interests and power.
Boko haram started in our country in the year 2009 by undisclosed persons for their political ambitions and from then to this date Nigeria has lost not less than 100,000 lives, and about 2,000,000 displaced. Now my question has been, is this group unbeatable? When will Nigerian government disclose the names behind that evil? Because i believe that when we know the brains behind it, then we will find the solution to win the war. Below is what Mr. Reno Omokri Wrote on former president Goodluck Jonathan’s facebook wall on 6th march 06:05pm.
Response to The Guardian of U.K.
My attention has been drawn to a report in the Guardian of the U.K.
alleging that the former Nigerian President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan rebuffed
efforts by the British military to rescue the kidnapped Chibok Girls
sometime in 2014.
Nothing could be further from the truth and to prove that this story from
the Guardian is untrue, the international community will recall that when a
Boko Haram affiliate kidnapped a Briton and an Italian, Chris McManus and
Franco Lamolinara, from Birnin Kebbi in Kebbi state of Nigeria, then
President Jonathan personally authorized British Special Forces from the
British Military Special Boat Service, to attempt a rescue mission in
Sokoto state on the 8th of March, 2012 a full two years before the Chibok
Girls Saga.
The British Military sent boots to the ground and these troops were given
full and unhindered cooperation by both the then Nigerian government and
the Nigerian military.
This already shows that Dr. Goodluck Jonathan had set a precedence of
allowing British Military Forces operate in Nigeria to rescue hostages.
This proves that not only is The Guardian story untrue, but it was not well
researched. Why would then President Jonathan approve that operation and
rebuff the other? The story from The Guardian is built on a foundation of
lies.
This is however not surprising since The Guardian stated that it was
relying not on its own investigation but on second hand hearsay reportage
from The Observer.
The international community is reminded that it is public knowledge that
then President Goodluck Jonathan wrote letters to the trio of then US
President, Barack Obama, then British Prime Minister, David Cameron and
French President, François Hollande, asking them for precisely what The
Guardian says he refused, help in resThe international community is reminded that so eager was the then Nigerian
President to rescue the girls that he personally approved for these foreign
governments to fly over Nigerian airspace in order to identify the location
of the Chibok Girls.
Not only did Dr. Goodluck Jonathan welcome foreign intervention, he was
also the prime mover in the Multi National Joint Task Force involving
Benin, Cameroon, Chad, Niger, and Nigeria and authorized the military
forces of those nations to fight Boko Haram on Nigeria soil. If President
authorized the military forces of these nations to operate against
terrorists in Nigeria, why would he refuse similar assistance from
Nigeria's international partners? cuing the Chibok Girls.
And to Lai Mohammed, Nigeria's current minister of information (if he can
be so called) who said:
"After the girls were kidnapped and the Jonathan Administration did nothing
for all of 15 days or make any determined efforts to rescue them
thereafter, our party, the then opposition APC, told the nation several
times that the whole Boko Haram crisis was allowed to escalate by the
PDP-controlled Federal Government so they can use it as a political tool
ahead of the 2015 elections."
My response to his lies is as follows. Opinions are subjective but facts
are sacred. The facts are that then President Jonathan immediately sprung
to action to rescue the kidnapped Chibok Girls and it was precisely the
fallacious Lai Mohammed, whose words I caution the international community
to take with a pinch of salt, that attempted to frustrate the efforts by
the then government to rescue the girls.
Below are a factual timelines with dates, names and location. I challenge
Lai Mohammed to rebut them with his own facts:
Timelines:
March 12, 2014: The then minister of state for education, Mr. Nyesom Wike,
wrote the Governors of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa and advised them not to hold
the West African Senior Secondary Certificate Examinations in areas
susceptible to the Boko Haram insurgency. This letter had the reference
number HMSE/FME/147/VOL.1/150 and the subject: 'Security challenges and the
conduct of the 2014 WASSCE and SSCE in Borno, Yobe and parts of Adamawa
States'.
The Governors of Yobe and Adamawa acknowledged the letter and cooperated
with the then Peoples Democratic Party led Federal Government to bus
students to secure locations to write their scheduled school leaving
examinations.
April 14, 2014: Contrary to the advise given by the Peoples Democratic
Party led Federal Government of President Goodluck Jonathan, the All
Progressive Congress led Government of Governor Kashim Shettima, for
reasons best known to it, chose to ignore that advise and held the WASSCE
examinations in Chibok, a mainly Christian town that was susceptible to
attacks from the Islamic extremist group, Boko Haram. On the day in
question, the girls of Government Girls Secondary School Chibok were
kidnaped by Boko Haram while preparing to write their final physics
examinations.
Curiously, both the Principal of the school and her Vice were not on the
school's campus as the girls were inside a dormitory.
The Principal of the school, Hadjiya Asabe Kwambura, later claimed to have
gone to Maiduguri for a 'medical check up' on the day of the abduction. It
seemed very inauspicious for a principal of a school to schedule a non
emergency 'medical check up' for a time when the school she presided over
was having perhaps its most important activity of the year, school leaving
examinations.
This same woman later changed her story when she told Fox News that she had
gone to Maiduguri to buy medicines and was informed by her daughter about
the kidnap. But how did her daughter, a student of the school, avoid being
kidnapped?
It is noteworthy that this particular principal was never reprimanded or
disciplined or in anyway made to take responsibility for this obvious
dereliction of duty by the Borno state government who owns the school.
Flash forward to April 2, 2016: Governor Kashim Shettima confessed in an
interview with Premium Times that he, the chief security officer of the
state, DID NOT inform then President Jonathan when the girls were kidnapped
for reasons best known to him.
April 17, 2014: Exactly three days after the kidnap, President Jonathan who
had not been formally informed of the issue because of the deliberate
refusal of the APC led government of Borno state to brief him called for an
emergency meeting at the Presidential villa after the military
independently alerted him.
Multiple dates in April, 2004: The military, principally the air force,
were given conflicting information as to what direction the fleeing
terrorists took when they captured the girls. Were these conflicting
information a deliberate effort to send the military on a wild goose chase?
Flash Forward to January 6, 2017: One of the Chibok girls who escaped from
her captors granted an interview to the New York Times and revealed that
they were not taken to Sambisa Forest by the terrorists as previously
thought. According to her testimony, they were rather taken to the Borno
state capital of Maiduguri and kept at a house there for months.
Flash Forward to January 11, 2017: Chibok Community leader, Pastor Bulus
Baba, in an interview with local media corroborated the New York Times
report and said even after they left Maiduguri they were moved to another
town and kept in the home of an influential local politician. According to
him:
"The girls said, they spent over 8 months in Gwoza local government area
along with other abducted women. They said they were kept at a resident of
one of the top politicians in that local government area until at a point
when a fighter jet dropped bomb that touch part of the house killing some
of the girls.”
May 2, 2014: Then President Jonathan sets up a fact finding mission to
determine the facts of the kidnap and stresses that the mission's work
would not interfere with search and rescue efforts.
May 2, 2014: Frustrated by the school's authorities to come clean with
accurate information about the identities of the missing girls, the
Christian Association of Nigeria released the names of the kidnapped girls
for the first time.
May 3, 2014: Charles Eguridu, head of the West African Examination
Council's National Office in Nigeria revealed in testimony broadcast live
on national television that WAEC had asked the Borno state Governor not to
hold examinations at Chibok due to safety issues, but that Governor
Shettima, in writing, had assured WAEC that he would provide adequate
security for Chibok, a promise he did not keep. According to Mr. Eguridu:
"The Borno state government also refused to relocate the students from
Chibok to safer places like Maiduguri. “Borno state government only agreed
to relocate the remaining 189 pupils after the abduction of the girls."
Talk about medicine after death.
May 4, 2014: After consistent confused and contradictory information from
the Borno state Government and various other authority figures, the
Presidency invited the principal actors in the Chibok saga to the
Presidential villa to ascertain the truth. The Presidency was shocked at
the non appearance by officials of the Borno state government. The
governor's wife who was invited shunned the event and when the then First
Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan saw the scanty representation from Borno she
famously exclaimed 'na only you waka come'?
May 5, 2014: many residents of Gamboru Ngala were killed by Boko Haram
forces after troops stationed there left that town to go to the Sambisa
forest area closest to Chibok town to look for the missing girls. The
precision behind the arrival by Boko Haram just as the troops left the town
gave rise to strong suggestions that the terrorists were tipped off by a
mole.
May 6, 2014: The then National Publicity Secretary of the APC and now the
current minister of information, Lai Mohammed, released a statement calling
the Presidency's intervention a 'distraction'.
May 6, 2014: In response to a request by the Nigerian Government for help,
then United States President, Barack Obama announced that the US was
dispatching personnel into the area to help search for the missing girls.
May 9, 2014: Nigeria welcomed experts from the United States and the United
Kingdom to help search for the girls.
May 11, 2014: Borno state Governor, Kashim Shettima tells the local and
international media the girls had "been sighted". In view of later
testimony by the released girls that they had initially been kept in
Maiduguri, Shettima's accounts now elicit more suspicion especially as Boko
Haram released a video a day after the revelation by Governor Shettima.
May 12, 2014: Boko Haram releases a video purporting to be of the Chibok
girls. However, in that video, the girls do not look terrified and one of
them is shown distracted as she appears to be sending a text or making a
call on her mobile phone which was visible to the camera. This video is
still publicly available on YouTube. Giving the testimony that they were
held in Maiduguri the state capital before being taken to Gwoza, how could
this video have been shot in day light without attracting some attention?
May 26, 2014: The Nigerian military revealed through Chief of Defence
Staff, Air Marshal Alex Badeh, that it knew the location of the girls but
could not attack because of fear of loss of lives of the girls after a
similar operation in Sokoto to save an Italian and a Briton led to loss of
lives of the hostages taken by an affiliate of Boko Haram.
Unspecified Date in May 2014: The Jonathan administration began secret
negotiations to secure the release of the Chibok girls.
September 7, 2014: In an interview with foremost Northern Nigeria daily,
Leadership Newspaper, some of the parents of the kidnapped girls alleged
that the entire saga was a conspiracy. In that interview, a Chibok parent,
Bulama Jonah, said:
“We still believe that there was an internal collaboration in the abduction
of our daughters by the Boko Haram gunmen, because we have correct
information that some of the teachers, who are very senior in the school,
managed to move their own daughters and family out of the school premises
before the attack. “That is why we are insisting that (the Borno state)
government must provide our daughters and we would not take it lightly if
they don’t produce our girls for us. The girls were in their custody,
because school premises belong to government; and we believe they were
aware of the attack but failed to provide security for them.”
October 6, 2014: Then President Jonathan visits Niamey as part of efforts
to secure the release of the Chibok girls with the help of the Nigerien
government.
October 15, 2014: During the Presidential Declaration by then candidate
Muhammadu Buhari, now the incumbent President, Audu Ogbeh, at that time the
Director General of the campaign (he was later replaced) said on live
Television that the pressure group Bring Back our Girls, led by a virulent
critic of the Jonathan administration, Oby Ezekwesili, lso said that the
quote and reflects the politicization of the saga.
#BBOG campaign is led by “members of our party, the APC.” This is an exact
Flash Forward to July 12, 2016: President Muhammadu Buhari appoints Bring
Back our Girls co-founder, Ms. Hadiza Bala Usman, as the head of Nigeria's
largest and perhaps most profitable parastatal, the Nigerian Ports
Authority. Many consider this as a reward to Ms. Usman and a corroboration
of the "members of our party, the APC" comment of Chief Audu Ogbeh.
October 17, 2014: A truce was announced with Boko Haram after negotiations
which was to allow for the release of the Chibok girls. The truce was
broken by Boko Haram who reneged on their promise to release their captives.
From the above, it is clear that Nigeria's minister of information, Alhaji
Lai Mohammed has an estranged relationship with the truth.
