We must listen to those who call for peaceful co-existence, dialogue, restraint and understanding - FFK

From the desk of Nigeria's Politician, essayist, poet and lawyer Femi Fani-Kayode:

There are many things happening in this country that people do not know. It is only when you have access to information that you can get a clear picture and make an informed assessment.

I have access to virtually every key person in this country and I assure you that we really are sitting on a keg of gunpowder.

It really does scare me. Those that talk carelessly and that do not emphasise peace, unity and restraint will lead us into a full scale civil war which will not only decimate the entire west African sub-region but will also last for at least 50 years.

It will make the civil war in Somalia, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Congo and Yugoslavia look like child's play and it will make our first civil war look like a tea party.

At least 50 million people will die in such a conflict because neither side will give an inch. I see this coming and I pray to God that it does not because none of us will be spared. This doomsday scenario must NEVER be allowed to unfold.

Many foreign nations want it to do so so that they can sell their weapons of mass destruction and arms to us, make millions of dollars for themselves and feed off Nigeria and African blood but we must resist it.
