Despite all the rumours and allegations of complicity, I find it difficult to believe that a sitting governor, El-Rufai, can be so odious as to be complicit in the killings of his people.

I don't want to believe it.

However, it is now clear that there are people bent on ensuring the killing of Nigerians in Southern Kaduna. It is also clear that there is a dedicated effort to wipe out the people of Southern Kaduna.

These killings must stop and stop it must now.

Naturally, killers do not stop until they are killed. Ask Rwanda where one million people were killed in 30 days by ethnic violent killers. Paul Kagame had to kill the killers to stop the killings in the country.

The people of Southern Kaduna must as a matter of urgency defend themselves. No one is coming to assist you. Not the government, not the military, not the police and definitely not the cowardly, internet obsessed, loudmouth, divided, money hungry and greedy South.

Southern Kaduna, know that you are fighting this battle on your own.

Natural laws confer on a man the right to life. It also confers on a man the right to self defense. By extension the right to the defense of others.

Thus the people of Southern Kaduna must arm themselves and defend themselves. Every man must defend his family against any and all attacks, even with his life.

Stand your ground. Eliminate any and all threats to your lives. That is your God given right.

Protect yourselves at all times. You have a right to life.

God bless you.
