Hi Dannydigitcommand readers, an article writen by Adoli Ali, who is a press secretary to one of our high profile people in the counrty,was sent to me for your reaing pleasures, puting pleasure aside, I would like you to read and digest the contents of this article, as it brings to us the concious security unrest threatning our country.....
Even as I write this article in pain for losing Uncle Onoja Matthias
Ogwuche to the Boko Haram militants in Kaduna this morning, I just can’t
stop imagining what went through his mind at that last moment when he
was caught in between life and death, struggling to get out of the hands
of the Jihadists. But in pain, Onoja who said bye bye to his family
this morning while leaving Minna to Kaduna never returned home. It was
such a sudden call. May His Soul Rest in the Lord! Amen… tears…
May
the souls of the children who were massacred in their prime as well as
uncle Onoja seek redress before God! May those who sent them to their
early grave fall one million times disgracefully! May they never see the
Sunset ever again, for those who kill by the sword will surely die by
the sword!
In my last article on this subject tagged “Let this War
Begin from the Church” I had blamed Christian and political leaders for
being too selfish to the detriment of their followers. I had blamed
them for their insensitivity and insipidity towards the plight of
Christians who are killed on a daily bases by some people who in the
guise of politicking have started a Jihad in Nigeria, deceiving our
political leaders and church leaders that it is a political war.
Today,
it’s quite clear to millions of Nigerians that the Boko Haram campaign
to gradually annihilate Christians is no doubt in question; an obvious
addendum to my earlier assertion on this matter.
Today, this
write-up is inspired by the last Kaduna massacre of innocent women and
children by the Jihadists who now beat their chest for killing some
innocent children during a Sunday school.
Even with tears
streaming down my eyes like an ever flowing river, I have asked myself a
number of questions, so insightful and poignant, but yet rhetorical in
relation to the action of the Jihadist.
Is the killing of these
innocent children part of their campaign that is deeply geared towards
the possible dethronement of the present leadership in Nigeria? Is it
another way of telling the Christians to bring out their already
sheathed swords to begin a holy war? Is their action not another way of
gradually wiping out Christian generation from the face of the earth?
Just imagine if Children and women become their permanent target! Is it
not a way of propelling the men into action, and to lose the elastic
limit of their patience? Is it not another way of telling we,
Christians that we are cowards, because it’s only a coward who talks
about peace when even God himself has decided to remain silent in anger
over a matter such as this? Is the silence of God, not a call for war?
Is God punishing Christians for their sins, a replica of the plague
that visited the Children of Israel in those days? Do the Jihadists have
a better relationship with God than some of us-Christians? If not, why
would God use Dagon to disgrace the Ark of the Covenant in this age,
yes, why would unbelievers in Christ sing a victory song over children
of God? In those days, it was disgraceful to God that the Ark of the
Covenant could be captured and taken to Philippines. As a result, Dagon
fell before the Ark on several occasions, and the victory of the
Israelites began from that point. In those days, God could talk to
Samuel, David or Saul to go to war based on the situation while at the
same time assuring them of victory. Are we still expecting such direct
command from God today? Do we continue to wait for God’s direct answer
and keep burying our own? Can we begin to count how many lives that
have been lost to these heartless Jihadists? Each time I reminisce over
this incessant brutality, I ask myself this very ugly, stinking
question; how many would fall to Boko Haram next Sunday? For how long
will the Children of God keep wishing that Sunday shouldn’t come? For
how long will the Church of God thread the path of fear and insecurity?
Most
of the time, I’m tempted to believe that we have failed this generation
of Christianity. Parents now caution their children to be careful with
their comments on Boko Haram, especially on social media. Is that
supposed to be born out of fear, foolhardiness or love and concern for
their children? Meanwhile they do not know that those men of the
underworld are so insensitive that those who most of the time fall
victims of their attacks are helpless and innocent people who cannot
pick up weapons and go after them.
I wish God could talk directly
to his people in this age like it used to be in the extant time. If that
would have been possible, God would have personally asked the
Christians to leave politics out of this terrible sin of man massacre
and go with the Mosaic law of an eye for an eye. But because our
relationship with Him in terms of interpersonal communication has been
distant, he speaks to us in silence, and like the book of revelation had
revealed, he who have ears, let him hear.
Even as I blame the
leaders of the church for their poor understanding of the mind of God, I
can’t hesitate to throw some darts at Northern leaders who keep saying
with all authority that the Boko Haram war is political. They have
remained quiet over the killing of Christians on every horrible/ black
Sunday, while they enjoy the tranquility of their Mosques every Friday.
To them, the silence of Christians is cowardice and probably because
they do not know that they too go to Mosques on Fridays. But why do they
think we don’t see them in Mosques too?
As for me, God has
spoken. We shouldn’t expect any more miracles from heavens to bring this
ugly development to an end. We may probably be the instrument of the
miracle we seek. We may have been running away from the fire for so
long, not knowing that, like Shedrach, Meshach and Abednego we may never
get hurt in the inferno. Our patience may have become so annoying to
God that he is beginning to turn his back at us. Who says we will not
triumph over the oppressor?. But if they claim that it’s a political
war and not as claimed in this article, then let them go ahead and tell
us how many of these political leaders that have been killed since the
inception of this crisis apart from the constant attacks on Christians.
If
you know why God sent Sampson to the Israelites, then you should know
the reason for this article. I know that at the end of this article many
peace loving Nigerians will get so uncomfortable with me. My line of
thoughts may possibly be put to question, and most people may decide to
disassociate themselves from me for talking on sensitive issues such as
this, but the rise of Sampson led to the fall of the philistines. Even
though Delilah tried to frustrate God’s mission, she was later used as
an agent of God’s wrath on the Philistines. Like Sampson, I shout in my
loudest voice; God, please grant us victory over our enemies in these
last hours.
May the souls of the children who were massacred in
their prime as well as uncle Onoja seek redress before God! May those
who sent them to their early grave fall one million times disgracefully!
May they never see the Sunset ever again, for those who kill by the
sword will surely die by the sword!
