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.
