Nigeria’s Muslim Problem

On 1 October 1960, Nigeria gained its independence from the United Kingdom.  It sits on the Western coast of Africa next to Niger, Chad and Cameroon.  Nigeria has a population of 150 million and a land mass of 357 square miles. Local government is divided into 36 states.

In 2014, Nigeria's economy (GDP) became the largest in Africa, worth more than $500 billion, and overtook South Africa to become the world's 21st largest economy. Nigeria is home to the 12^th largest oil reserves located in the Southern half and still under the control of the Nigerian government.

It is capable of producing its own food, but has failed to develop sewage treatment and clean water in its rural areas. 

Nigeria is literally cut in half, with 50% Christians living in the wealthier Southern half and 50% Muslims in the poorer Northern half.  The Nigerian government still controls the Southern half, but the Northern half is controlled by the Islamic terror group, Boko Haram. 

In 2002, Boko Haram was formed and led by Islamist cleric Mohammed Yusuf until he was killed in 2009.

Abubakar Shekau is the current leader of Boko Haram. He served as deputy leader to the group's founder, Mohammed Yusuf. He commands a fighting force of 9000 men.  It is based in northeast Nigeria with additional activities in Chad, Niger and Cameroon.

The British found it easier to assemble an empire than govern an empire. They allowed their new subjects to keep whatever religions and customs they liked and left these countries divided and unassimilated. In 1914, the Brits unified North and South Nigeria, but should have divided it based on religion. They left the Muslims and Hindus in India to create Pakistan for the Muslims, but Africa was tribal-based and failed to do this for themselves.  The Brits used the “top-down” approach to nation building when the Africans needed a “bottom-up” approach. 

Tribes are economic units like families, but they don’t work as well for the “folks”.  They are “communal”, so self-determination isn’t taught.  Individual responsibility is to the immediate family, but is mainly subservient to the “tribal chief”.  Too many tribal chiefs end up operating like dictators or criminal gang leaders. 

Like the Brits, the Africans didn’t have an accurate picture of human nature and our need for individual freedom and responsibility.  We need to be free to provide for ourselves.  It appears that in all of history, only our Founding Fathers understood this fact.  Unfortunately, our current US government does not.

There are three distinct systems of law in Nigeria:

Common law, derived from its British colonial past, and a development of its own after independence;

Customary law, derived from indigenous traditional norms and practice, including the dispute resolution meetings of pre-colonial Yorubaland secret societies and the Ẹ̀kpẹ̀ and Ọ̀kọ́ńkọ̀ of Igboland and Ibibioland;

Sharia law, used only in the predominantly Muslim northern states of the country. It is an Islamic legal system that had been used long before the colonial administration. In late 1999, Zamfara emphasized its use, with eleven other northern states following suit. These states are Kano, Katsina, Niger, Bauchi, Borno, Kaduna, Gombe, Sokoto, Jigawa, Yobe, and Kebbi.

Conclusions:

Nigeria should join their military forces with Chad, Niger and Cameroon and destroy Boko Harem, but that is apparently not the plan. UN agenda 21 requires chaos and waste in order to destabilize all governments.  This appears to be the main blueprint that can explain our global unraveling. There are no coincidences, things are the way they are, because they were planned to be this way.  We need to fire our politicians and the global “puppet-masters” and close the UN.
