Al Qaeda are in Nigeria
By Femi Fani-Kayode
President Goodluck Jonathan has finally admitted that Al Qaeda are in Nigeria and that they are helping Boko Haram. He said this during his press conference earlier today in Paris.
Gosh. I really do wonder what is new here? Has the President only just realised that Al Qaeda is here? I told him and the Nigerian public that 3 years ago in numerous essays and even on this wall. No-one listened and in the typical Nigerian way they buried their heads in the sand like the ostrich and said that I was an alarmist. Now they know better.
After no less than at least 10.000 innocent Nigerians have been butchered by islamist terrorists in the last 3 years alone and after hundreds of our children have been abducted from their schools and homes, sold like cattle in foreign markets and turned into sex slaves in foreign lands our President has only just realised that Al Qaeda is involved and that we are involved in a full scale war. Goodness me!!!
Worse still, testifying on Thursday before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Gen. Mark Welsh III, US Air Force Chief of staff, said the following about the Nigerian military:
“We are now looking at a military force that is, quite frankly, becoming afraid to even engage. The United States doesn’t have the capacity or the capability to go rescue every kidnapped person around the world.”
I have never been as ashamed to be a Nigerian as the day that I heard those words from this American commander.
May God deliver the people of Nigeria.
