DR IBRAHIM DATTI AHMED, NIGERIA'S AYMAN AL ZAWAHIRI AND BIN LADEN'S SYMPATHIZER!

A hand that was "Sharia-nized" in an Islamic Republic - look at the blunt knife which sawed through the wrist for several minutes to sever the hand and without anesthesia or any pain killer being administered to the victim?  If the hand was chopped off, it would have come out clean without the jagged edges. Also in the picture is the relevant authorizing instrument, a copy of the (un)holy Koran which sanctioned such disproportionate  cruel and unusual punishment meted out to an adherent just for a petty theft or stealing offense? 

Icheoku says this type of medieval cruelty of man to a fellow man, a wanton callousness of the highest order, the most despicable type of inhuman treatment and maiming any person could ever receive is what those fanatical religious lunatics of Northern Nigerian want to make a statute of general application throughout a secular Nigeria? Icheoku would rather renounce and sever all ties whatsoever than suffer the trauma of living forever in the bondage of the possibility or even the prospect that stuff like this could happen to anybody whatsoever or somebody related or known to Icheoku? Any environment that finds such barbaric maiming of another human-being by either the state or individual or group of religious bigots or mullahs justifiable in any way whatsoever, does not deserve a place among the comity of civilized nations. Icheoku asks how can any religion or law proffer any reason to justify such hacking off of the human body parts in this present modern day and age? A petty thief whose hand or wrist is hacked off cannot even retrain to become a better citizen and Northern Nigeria still wonders why there are so many destitute in their region? How can such draconian Sharia law ever be allowed in Nigeria; and the fact that a medical doctor is one of those at the fore-front pushing it makes it more bone-chilling. Icheoku asks, is Dr Ibrahim Datti Ahmed truly a trained medical doctor in Western medicine or is he a herbalist/mullah. 

When the world is still dumbfounded and bamboozled,  trying to make sense of the Egyptian medical doctor Ayman Al Zawahiri's fascination for destroying lives as opposed to the life-saving disposition of members of his profession, here comes another medical doctor from  Northern Nigeria in his mold? A Sharia medical doctor who has turned rogue and instead of advancing and advocating life-saving measures, is now busily occupied vomiting venomous talks about Muslims exterminating non-Muslims of Nigeria? Icheoku does not know which medical doctor, seasoned by his professional calling to save lives, would instead be threatening the wastage of human lives - going to war to enforce a parochial Islamic banking system in a secular country? A man who should and ought to know better, is rather wrongly advising his less fortunate (almajiris) kiths and kins and tactically coercing them into causing more mayhem in Nigeria an as if they have not disturbed the polity enough? Hopefully Nigerians would oblige him this time, his desire for his branch of a very few imbecilic Muslims to leave the entity called Nigeria and go form their own independent Islamic or Sharia Republic.  Possibly this intractable and incessant Muslims induced and instigated religious strife in Nigeria could come to an end once and for all. However before this mallam brings to fruition what every decent and civilized Nigerian have been craving and praying for and for which Gideon Orkar sacrificed his youthful life, Icheoku would like to respond to his latest diatribe one by one and punch holes in them to show that either this Imam was lying or his recollections are tainted with falsity.

First, the Northern Nigeria enclave which produced this lunatic and fundamentalist doctor -death embarked on Sharia law without taking into consideration the wish of millions of non Muslim Nigerians nor had the decency of putting such a polity changing event forward for a national debate to test its acceptability. Icheoku is surprised that these mullahs in Northern Nigeria did not follow the same restrictive process with which they imposed Sharia law on their core ten Islamic States in the current Islamic banking system debacle. If it is Islamic banking system and they want it, so be it; provided its application is restricted to those Sharia States of Northern Nigeria but not throughout an entire secular Nigeria. It is also on record that the first thing Imam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi did upon getting to the Central Bank of Nigeria was to order the re-imposition of the Arabic writings on the Naira which had hitherto been removed to honor the secular nature of the polity. Icheoku asks, is this one plus one adding up at explaining their Islamic agenda or is Icheoku under the influence of some substance not to comprehend this subtle but steady steps taken towards a Nigeria Islamic Republic? Nigeria's membership of OIC is still alive and well; yet some naive Nigerians still doubt these mullahs's ultimate destination and objective? 


While researching this article, Icheoku ran into a press conference given by Dr Ibrahim Datti Ahmed where he said in answer to the Jos Islamic mayhem that "existing national policies are part of a grand design to frustrate the legitimate "desire of Muslims in Nigeria to democratically expand the scope of the application of the Shari'ah." So any intelligent person reading these lines carefully will come to terms with the fact that there is a proactive intent and on-ward march of Nigerian Muslims to spread their Islamic religion as well as Sharia law to other parts of Nigeria not currently under their spell. So when things like Arabic writing are reinstated on the Naira and now Islamic banking system is in tow, in addition to Nigeria's smuggled membership of OIC, then it necessary follows that these are not mere coincidences but a deliberate expansion of Islam in Nigeria. It therefore follows that the present threat of Northern Nigerian Muslims to go to war to protect Islamic banking is jihadistic in nature since Jihad is used as a weapon for the spread of Islam. The calculation is that by making Islamic Banking System national, Islam is being spread across the country.

Further, doctor Ibrahim Datti Ahmed claimed that "those wearing cassocks" disturbs the peace in Nigeria? Icheoku says what a baloney this man tried to sell to the world and Nigerians since whatever modicum or semblance of peace in Nigeria has historically been disturbed by Northern Nigeria Muslims. They did not want independence with the rest of Nigerians which caused the delay of Nigeria's independence from 1957 to 1960 as the East and West waited on the North to make up their mind? Also they led the counter-coup of July 1966 which eventually culminated to the three year civil war with then Eastern Nigeria, Biafra? They sabotaged or simply refused to implement the three Rs of reconciliation, rehabilitation and reconstruction following the war just to spite and provoke a "defeated" people further? Their military officers carried out all the coups in Nigeria from Muritala Mohammed, Mohammed Buhari, Ibrahim Babangida and Sani Abacha; yet someone somewhere is claiming to be Nigeria's peace ambassador? 


Maitasine Sect was of Northern Nigeria Muslims? Gideon Akaluka's head was foisted on a flag-pole by Northern Nigeria Muslims? 1983 Kano Riots was orchestrated by Northern Nigerian Muslims? Zango kataf massacre was ordered and carried out by Northern Nigerian Muslims? Jos riots and disturbances were Northern Nigerian Muslims instigated? Nomadic Cattle rearers who go about trampling upon Nigerian farmlands destroying crops and allowing their cattle to graze on peoples crops are Northern Nigerian Muslims? Currently Nigeria is facing the scourge of Boko Haram Muslim terrorism and Boko Haram is of Northern Nigerian Muslims? Icheoku asks Dr Ibrahim Datti Ahmed, all these premises considered, who is the real trouble-maker and peace disturber of Nigeria? Icheoku make bold to state that If any group of people or tribe or religion adherents in Nigeria are peaceful, they are certainly not these Northern Nigerian Muslims, except of course the word "peaceful" has lost its meaning or their own version of dictionary defines hellish as heavenly and vice versa.


Dr Ibrahim Datti Ahmed boasted that his Northern Nigerian Muslims are not cowards and would fight for their Islamic causes? However "doctor-mullah" failed to address the fact that Northern Nigerian Muslims have consistently employed others to do their dirty work on their behalf such as the Middle Belt men and women of Tiv, Junkun and Igbira who have fought their wars and lifted their heavy loads on behalf of the entire Northern Nigeria. Also that Northern Nigerian Muslims throw their boarders open to ferry in mercenaries and other Islamic fighters n from Niger, Chad and Sudan and sometimes the Middle East whenever their services are needed. So Icheoku asks who is not a coward that cannot do his fighting but conscript others to do them for them? Their engagement of European mercenaries during the Biafran war is also a well documented historical fact, so when Dr Ibrahim Datti Ahmed opens his mouth this wide, Icheoku cannot help but rebut his assertion since Nigerians know who the loafers and cowards of the country are; so Dr Ahmed need not to tell us. 

Further it is somewhat turning of the truth on its head for Dr Ibrahim Datti Ahmed to assert that anybody in Nigeria truly wants to live together with his Northern Nigerian Muslims; which forced the hands of Gideon Orkar to attempt incising them out from the country during his practically successful but mismanaged coup of 1986. icheoku reiterates here again and for the umpteenth time that Northern Nigeria Sharia Muslims of Dr Ibrahim Datti Ahmed's type are a pain in the behind of Nigerians and that nobody in Nigeria truly speaking, wants them within the entity called Nigeria and will gladly see them leave. So Icheoku agrees with Dr Ibrahim Datti Ahmed that "we don’t have to live together."

Look at a pot calling kettle black as Nigerians know who is been dictating to the rest of the country how they should live their lives. All the military dictators Nigeria ever had were all Northern Nigeria Muslims? The insertion of Arabic writings on the currency is a dictatorship as no one discussed it? Nigeria's forced OIC membership was a dictatorship's decision too as Babangida did not consult anybody when he handed Nigeria over to Saudi Arabia? Buhari's retroactive death-penalty for drug related offenses was a dictatorship and Buhari is a fanatical Northern Nigeria Muslim and probably an Imam? Northern Nigerian Muslims splintered Nigeria Law School into three component units to accommodate their mediocre performance while it  was centralized in Lagos and that decision was a dictatorship as no true Nigerian lawyer wanted it and those Northern Nigerian Muslims could care less of the benefit of synchronizing legal practice in Nigeria and the unity and friendship it fostered across the ethical divides? Sharia law was introduced in some parts of Nigeria without necessary consultation and it is a form of dictatorship too; yet these people are crying wolves? 

Icheoku says if anybody has ever had enough of another, it is other Nigerians who are since tired of these Northern Nigerian Muslims, who have been abusing the rest of Nigerians and it is about time it became enough. Why the sudden invocation of Nigerian law on the issue of Islamic Sharia Banking when these mullahs did not concern themselves with the legitimacy or otherwise of their introduction of Sharia law in some parts of Nigeria without first checking the constitutionality and legitimacy of operating two parallel legal systems in one country with the office of the Attorney General? It is a trite rule of law that he who claims equity must do equity but this is lost on these mallams who wants to be allowed to probate and reprobate on the same issue. 


Look who is talking about the need to be left alone when they never left anyone alone including Biafra when they wanted to leave the country and still butts in every body's business including Niger Delta that since want out of Nigeria? Who killed Ken Saro Wiwa instead of leaving him alone? Who has constantly been massacring Nigerians that reside in their territory? Which part of Nigeria has religious and political disturbances become the order of the day? Who abuses the rights of women with their old men marrying barely legal teenage girls? It is ridiculous the rush to comparison this mullah made with the example of England but chose to ignore that Muslims in England are not as crazy as those in Nigeria. That England Muslims are not as radicalized and of the Wahhabi sect as those Northern Nigerian Muslims; and above all that  they do not call the shots over there in Her Majesty's Kingdom and are supposed to be merely seen and not heard? That in England there is no Boko Haram and Muslims there do not hoist a human head on a flag pole or butcher innocent children while they slept in the middle of the night. It is just such a silly and stupid comparison to make that because England allows Islamic banking System, therefore Nigeria should. 

Another insane pronouncement of Dr Ahmed is that Northern Nigeria Muslims are the majority in Nigeria? Icheoku disagrees except if goats and cows are counted as humans otherwise let them allow a true headcount to take place in Nigeria to rebut this claim? These mullahs would not allow a thorough census to take place in Nigeria to determine once and for all that geographically speaking, it is not possible for arid regions to be more populated than rich arable regions. Finally Dr Ahmed accused Maiduguri Bornu JTF of “using an unbalanced force in its attempt to restore peace and order to Borno State." Icheoku says the same Dr Ibrahim Datti Ahmed kept mum when one of his Northern Nigerian Muslim advocated for the complete wiping off the map of Nigeria the Niger Delta, if that is what it will take to quell the then militancy and keep the oil flowing? Icheoku says who is now clearly under the influence but the so called Doctor Ibrahim Datti Ahmed, a nut case - dan kwaya original?
