FFK's RESPONSE:

"You insult our people and our revered leaders but know this: history proves that your people are not warriors and that they know little about modern-day warfare or how to fight.

They are not real men but bullies and cowards who prey on the vulnerable and the weak. They know how to butcher the innocent but they do not know how to fight.

They only know how to slaughter and rape innocent women and children and murder defenceless men. They are only good at bullying and intimidating the defenceless and the weak and and killing men, women and children usually in the sanctity of their Churches, farms, places of work and homes.

During our civil war they could not and did not fight. They often fled the war front and ran back to the core north and those that stood and fought were cut to pieces at the war front.

If they had been left to face the Biafrans on their own and if they did nit have the backing if the South West, the Mid-West and the Middle Belt they would have been crushed and sent back to Futa Jalon where they came from with their tails between their legs. They and all their leaders and rulers.

No one wants or is looking for trouble and we cherish and value peace. However if you insist on doing so let the war that you are threatening us with begin and we will see who will run away.

Let it begin and we will see who has cowardice in their DNA between those of us that are committed to the struggle for the liberation of our people and your weak and cowardly leaders who seek to hold us down in perpetual slavery and bondage.

If you don't want war tell your people to stop their Fulanisation and Islamisation agenda and to stop killing defenceless Christians and innocent southern and Middle Belt Nigerians.

If they do not stop, somewhere down the line and perhaps many years from now war is inevitable and the only thing they will see is death, blood, fire, terror and mutilated corpses. It will be like hell on earth.

The only thing they will hear is the cry of infants and the wailing of women. The only thing they will smell is the fire and brimstone of hell and the stench and filth of well-fed vultures and hyenas.

We pray this will never happen but that is what they are toying with and it is very dangerous. When and if we are ever attacked we will defend ourselves vigorously and effectively. Kindly expect no less because no-one has the monopoly of violence.

War is a great evil and a terrible thing but to fight it in defence of our people and for the noble cause of liberation and freedom is a matter of honor and duty.

Those of us that are leaders from the South and the Middle Belt do not want war and neither do we call for it. We deplore violence and, unlike you and yours, our weapons are our words, our vision, our faith and our ideas and not guns, bombs, bullets and cutlasses or bows and arrows.

However if war is ever forced or foisted on us by your misguided and bellicose hordes and if we are ever attacked as a people, as a faith, as a region or as a zone we will not shy away from it and we will not crawl and bow down before you or take it like cowardly and faithless unbelievers.

Be rest assured that in that situation and faced with such a provocation and affront w0e will resist you with every fibre of our being and the awesome and irresistable power of our God.

Know that our Lord, the God of heaven and earth, is a man of war and if we are forced to do so we will give as good as we get and worse than you can possibly handle or imagine.

Your barbaric and insane attempt to ethnically cleanse, wipe out, inflict genocide, propagate mass murder, enslave and subjugate the people of the south and the Middle Belt and force us all to our knees, break our spirit and will and intimidate us into silence with your childish threats and promises of war will fail.

Worse still your barbarous actions and violent threats come with a heavy price and, if you do not desist, will undoubtedly result in the greatest catastrophy and most horrific cauldron of fire that the world has ever known.

Sadly due to your recklessness, gravel miscalculations and bloodlust millions may end up dying and this would be most unfortunate and regrettable.

Kindly be warned: it is better to tread the path of peace and caution. You would do well to go and tell those that sponsored and encouraged you to send this brazen and unprovoked threat not to try their luck or push us too far.

We crave for peace and we desire it above all else but that peace will not be at the expense of our dignity, future, liberty and freedom.

We will either break your evil yoke of servitude, slavery and bondage or we will die trying to do so. Honor and decency demands no less.

We will either have a Nigeria where ALL, regardless of faith or ethnic nationality, are equal before God and the law, or will have NO Nigeria at all. If such a notion or aspiration enrages you and provokes you to war then so be it. We are waiting for you!"
