NEWS : Femi Fani-Kayode blasts Shehu Garba for describing Leah Sharibu as "unfortunate Christian girl"



Femi Fani-Kayode the former Nigeria Aviation Ministers and the former Director of Media and Publicity to former President Goodluck has lambasted Shehu Garba, the spokesman to President Muhammadu Buhari for describing Leah Sharibu as the "unfortunate Christian girl stolen by Boko Haram". 

Sharibu was kidnapped along with other 112 Dapchi schoolgirls on February 19, 2018 by Boko Haram Sharibu was reportedly not released along with the others because she refused to deny her christian faith.

In what look like a war of words between Reno Omokri the former spokesman to President Goodluck Jonathan and Shehu Garba, the spokesman to President Muhammadu Buhari. Femi Fani-Kayode described the statement by spokesman to President Muhammadu Buhari as heartless, arrogant, insensitive and bigoted...


His facebook post read: 

In response to a legitimate and interesting challenge from my friend and brother Pastor Reno Omokri, the former spokesman to President Goodluck Jonathan, Shehu Garba, the spokesman to President Muhammadu Buhari, has described the great Leah Sharibu as the "unfortunate Christian girl stolen by Boko Haram". 

As far as he is concerned Leah has no name but she is just an "unfortunate Christian girl".  The presidential spokesman is heartless, arrogant, insensitive and bigoted. Would he have spoken like this about Leah if she was a Muslim? Why did feel the need to mention her faith? 

Does the fact that she is Christian make her a lesser Nigerian? Is she a chattel or a piece of property that can be described as being "stolen"? Is she not a human being too? Or is the fact that she is Christian or that she is a female make her less human?  Nigerians deserve far better than this. The Christian community in Nigeria deserves far better too! This is an insult on every Christian and every right-thinking Nigerian.

May God judge and punish Shehu Garba and those he represents for speaking in this way about Leah, one of the greatest Christian heroes that Nigeria has ever known and a deeply courageous soul who sacrificed her liberty (and possibly her life) by standing proudly for her faith and refusing to convert to Islam even at the point of a knife and gun.

What we need in Nigeria are a few Samir Geagea's, the leader of the old Lebanese Kataeb Regulatory Forces and Christian Falange (Uwait).

If you want to know more about him and them and the role they played in fighting Islamic fundamentalism in the Lebanese civil war either google it or go to Lebanon and find out. 

To attempt to insult, demean or belittle a Christian hero like Leah simply because you do not share her faith is inexcusable and unforgivable. This is the turning point and we will never forget it.

Nnamdi Kanu Sends Important Message To IPOB Members From Detention

    The detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has sent an important message to his followers over the Biafra movement. The embattled separatist according to one of his brothers, Prince Kanu Meme, has asked his disciples to trust and comply with directives from the Directorate of State (DOS). Boasting his belief in the separatist movement’s administrative structure, Kanu said “I’m DOS and DOS is me”.  Naija News understands that the DOS, headed by diaspora-based Chika Edoziem has been contending with authority issues since Kanu’s arrest in Kenya in June 2021. It has been observed that IPOB is in disintegration following Nnamdi Kanu’s rearrest and detention. The present situation of the Biafran movement can be likened to that of sheep without a shepherd. However, Kanu in a conversation with his sib...

IPOB: The Nigerian Civil War, commonly known as the Biafran War

  THE HISTORY OF BIAFRA AND NIGERIA WAR  Israel, Nigeria and the Biafra civil war    The Nigerian Civil War , commonly known as the Biafran War (6 July 1967 – 15 January 1970), was a war fought between the government of Nigeria and the secessionist state of Biafra. Biafra represented nationalist aspirations of the Igbo people, whose leadership felt they could no longer coexist with the Northern-dominated federal government. The conflict resulted from political, economic, ethnic, cultural and religious tensions which preceded Britain's formal decolonization of Nigeria from 1960 to 1963. Immediate causes of the war in 1966 included a military coup, a counter-coup and persecution of Igbo living in Northern Nigeria. Control over the lucrative oil production in the Niger Delta played a vital strategic role. Within a year, the Federal Government troops surrounded Biafra, capturing coastal oil facilities and the city of Port Harcourt. The blockade imp...
