To The People of Borno: Do Not Let Jonathan Do
To You What Uthman Couldn’t
This is a solemnly written letter to all the people
of Borno. Let those who can, read it and those
who cannot have it read to them.
I greet you in the name of the Creator;
Will you let Jonathan do to you what Uthman Dan
Fodio could not?
Are you going to let Borno, the great Kanemi
Empire fall to these foreigners? Are you going to
let the evil plotters take your Empire?
I write you as one of you. Your fight is my fight. I
write you as a friend, brother and a son.
Boko Haram rules over 75% of Borno. They are
installing satanic Emir’s in our palaces. They
have vilified our sanctuaries. How long shall we
run from them? How long shall our sons hide in
ceilings only to be pulled out and slaughtered?
How long shall we wait for this military whose
leadership connives with the very terrorists who
slaughter us? We have waited for five years and
all that has happened is the rape of our people.
The intentional fight-and-stop war that allows
Boko Haram time to conscript more of our
children for the military to help them slaughter in
stage-wise annihilation. In these five years we
have witnessed a partnership to exterminate us.
We have been brought to our knees in five years.
Are we still going to wait for this government that
the entire world knows smuggles guns for
terrorists? Are we still going to wait for this very
government whose army chiefs supply our
enemies the weapons they use to massacre us?
When shall we gather ourselves together, legions
of brave Borno youth and make a stand? When
shall we invite brothers from across Nigeria to
come and join us recover our wealthy land? Is
there not a warrior among us? Is there not a real
leader among us? Do we not have wealthy
enough people to sponsor us? Do we not have
holy enough people to pray for us? If we must,
we should chase out the entire military from our
State and wage our battle, win or lose by
ourselves; but dear family, the time for waiting on
Jonathan is gone. He has handed over our rich
land to foreigners from the French countries who
want our oil, our farm land, our resources, our
daughters and our youth. He has sold Borno
because his heart is black. Aso rock is not simply
vacant; it is occupied by smugglers, murderers
and treacherous tyrants. It is a sin to wait for
Aso rock. We cannot wait for evil leadership. On
what account shall we wait for such evil
leadership? How will we explain to those who
come after us that we lost Bornu because we
waited for the Beast?
I call on the people of Borno to rise up now. May
the Custodian and Protector of mankind protect
you.
What’s said right is inspiration, what’s said
wrong is personal error.
