This is the digital age when every information on any part of the globe is just a few click away. We all watched as Reverend Dachomo cried daily on both national and international media including Piers Morgan Uncensored showing videos of mass burials of Christian victims of Fulani genocidal onslaught across Nigeria
We all watched as both local and foreign NGOs such as Equipping The Persecuted did numerous live videos and comprehensive reports about Fulani genocidal attack against northern Christians.
We all watched as the Catholic bishop of Makurdi accompanied by a reverend father REPEATEDLY visited the US to testify before a Congress Committee looking into the Christian genocide in Nigeria.
We all watched as U.S team led by Congressman Riley M. Moore visited Nigeria and Benue state and gave a chilling reports of what he witnessed.
We equally watched as the Nigerian foreign affairs minister who is from the North publicly issued a statement saying that the Nigerian government collaborated with the U.S and provided the intel as well as the consent for the Sokoto bombing against Islamic terrorists.
We all saw Franc Utoo consistently visit the US congress to give a detailed account of the genocide against his Benue people as well as the complicity of the Ahmed Tinubu govt
All the above events happened few months and weeks ago and were witnessed by all.
Yet,
In spite of all these, some people within the Nigerian establishment still contracted some writers to author a report in the The New York Times claiming that it was an Igbo man that provided the intelligence the US president Donald J. Trump relied on to bomb terrorist enclave in Sokoto. As in, these soulless writers and their paymasters simply want to tell the north that it was the Igbos they should blame for the U.S Christmas strikes on Sokoto and of course, the likes of Shehu Sani are already distributing the jaundiced piece.
Please don’t bother trying to make sense out of the nonsense that one screwdriver trader in Onitsha convinced the most powerful leader on earth with the most sophisticated intelligence agency, to bomb a bunch of terrorists butchering innocent Christians in some Nigerian town. Those behind the report know their audience as well as the agenda they are pushing.
I simply urge you to consider this;
If they could be this shamelessly and illogically brazen at this time and age when all the facts are staring everyone in the face, imagine what they did to the Igbos in the 1960s when they were effectively in charge of the media and in full control of the narrative with no internet???????????
By the way, have you noticed that all the Igbo turncoats pretending to be neutral analysts and public intellectuals are LOUDLY silent on this very dangerous narrative?????
