Genocide for oil

Caliphate succession to the British,
political as well as economic: the
violent consequences

q25)
Sir James’ appointment was by
design. He spent his productive
years as a British Foreign/Colonial
Officer promoting Arab/Muslim
control of the Sudan and worked
hard to do the same thing in
Nigeria. He fell in love with
the North as soon as he arrived
Nigeria and he “was struck by
the similarity between Northern
Provinces adjoining the Sahara
and the Central Sudan” and
observed that “the people around
Kano were similar to the Sudanese”
and he made sure that the colonial
Governors in the North were
those who had Arabic/Islamic
experience.

It should be emphasised that this
succession also included sucession
to the ownership rights over land,
minerals and mineral oil and
the British interests in Nigeria
including Shell-BP. The Civil
War of the 1960’s, the annulment
of the 1993 election, the state
terrorism in the oil producing
areas culminating in the brutal
execution of Ken Saro-Wiwa are
partly, if not wholly, as a result of
oil money.

q26) 2009
The coalition government in
1959-64 between the npc and
the ncnc and the accord in
1979-81 between the National
Party of Nigeria (npn) and the
Nigerian Peoples Party (npp) were
in furtherance of the “husband”
and “wife” relationship with the
Northerner, the husband, and
the Southerners, the wife, in the
language of Lord Harcourt.
Today, the “Southern Lady
of Means” is richer and the
bridegroom “the well conducted
youth” from the North is poorer
and poorer over the years, a
situation not even anticipated in
1914. Hence the “husband” in the
typical Nigerian fashion would
ensure that the relationship is
maintained at all cost, even if it
means killing the bride in order to
take over her wealth. This is the
situation the oil producing part
of the South finds itself in today.
According to Alhaji Gambo Jimeta,
the North (husband) will go to
war over oil.”

Genocidal incitement by Bala
N’Allah, a Caliphate legislator
A member of the Nigerian
House of Representatives, Bala
Ibn N’Allah of Kebbi State. In
an unprovoked statement, [has]
called for the extermination of 20
million Niger Deltans in order to
allow the rest of Nigeria to live in
peace. His harrowing words were
the following:
“What is happening in the Niger
Delta is pure criminality of
the highes order, arising from
total disregard for constituted
authority. In Iraq, thousands of
people lost their lives because
of an insurrection against the
government during the reign
of former Iraqi leader, Saddam
Hussein. We can do away with
20 million militants for the rest
120 million Nigerians to live”
(see the guardian, thursday,
may 28, 2009).
Of course, this Arewa militant
would not hesitate to use the
Nigerian military to curb other
Nigerian nationalities if Arewa
were to succeed in its intentions
in the Niger Delta. Indeed, it
appears to be the case that a
leading segment of thought in
Arewa Consultative Forum regards
politics as a game of conquest in
which it is legitimate to employ
Nigeria’s military resources in
pursuit of its ambition of ruling
the rest of the country.
