In the next 4 years Buhari will break up Nigeria – Fani-Kayode

Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has predicted that Nigeria will break up before the end of President Muhammadu Buhari’s second term in office.

He said Buhari in the first four years of his government allegedly divided Nigeria and set up a legacy of hate and destruction, but will in his second term of four years cause the breakup of the country and create a legacy that will be the most terrible the world has ever known.

In a post on his official Twitter handle on Tuesday, he said, “Over the last 4 years @MBuhari has divided Nigeria and established a legacy of hate, suspicion, bloodshed, terror, carnage and destruction.

“Over the next 4 years Buhari will break Nigeria and his legacy will be the most terrible and brutal evil that the world has ever known.”

In another series of tweets, the former minister described Nigeria as a nation under God’s judgment and argued that until Nigeria apologises to the Igbo people of South-East over killings during the Nigerian/Biafran war, that the country will “continue to wallow in blood, death, sorrow, failure, shame, poverty and carnage.”

He wrote: “Nigeria must offer an unreserved apology to the Igbo people of the SE for the genocide, ethnic cleansing and mass murder that was unleashed on them during the civil war. 3 million Biafran were slaughtered (1 million of them children) in the space of 3 years during that conflict.

“This represents the greatest act of black on black genocide on the African continent in history. It is only surpassed, in terms of casualties, by the bestial acts of King Leopold 11 of Belgium when he and his subjects slaughtered 10 million Congolese during the colonial era.

“Nothing can go right in Nigeria till a genuine and heartfelt expression of regret for what we did to the Biafrans is tendered by the leadership and people of our country and some form of restitution and compensation is made.

“The mass murder, ethnic cleansing and genocide that we are witnessing today in Nigeria and which is being inflicted on us by a callous, brutal, heartless, cold-blooded and wicked horde of strangers and homicidalmaniacs that came from a foreignland 200 years ago is a spiritual consequence of what we did to the Biafrans in the war.

“The only way that the carnage and bloodfest can be stopped and the vicious and endless cycle of violence can be broken is when we repent for what we did to those innocent and defenceles Biafran civilians during the civil war and apologise for it.

“Until then Nigeria will continue to wallow in blood, death, sorrow, failure, shame, poverty and carnage.  Why? Because we are a nation under God’s judgment.”
