Nigeria: Islamic jihadis have made 59,311 orphans and 59,213 widows in Borno state alone

Jan 30, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Will the Islamophobia never end?

“Boko Haram: Insurgency made 59,311 orphans, 59,213 widows in Borno – Gov. Zulum,” by Amos Tauna, Daily Post, January 28, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

The Borno State governor, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum, has said that Boko Haram has caused the emergence of 59, 311 orphans whose fathers were killed and 59, 213 widows that lost husbands to the insurgency in different parts of the state.

Governor Zulum, who was guest lecturer at the National Defence College, in Abuja, delivered a paper with the title, “Strategic leadership: The challenges of Insurgency in Borno State”.

He acquainted the audience with his immediate, short and long term strategic plans in confronting the challenges from all fronts that include investing heavily on security, enrolling out of school children into existing and new mega schools, placing a ban against political thuggery with jobs being created as alternative.

The Governor observed that the unwillingness of persons in the corridors of power to tell leaders truth about issues and the unwillingness of leaders themselves to hear the truth, are some of the major problems confronting leadership in Nigeria.

He explained that a strategic leader must be a strategic listener and reader. A strategic thinker must also be a strategic learner. A strategic leader must be willing to hear the truth and to learn.

He further explained, “However, telling the truth and accepting the truth has been our major problems in Nigeria. Some people will never tell you the truth when you are in power and honestly, many of us in power also do not want to hear the truth, we prefer to be told what we like to hear and that is a serious deficit in leadership in the country.”

Zulum discussed different aspects of strategic leadership, situating them with Nigeria’s in the last 50 years and gave account of experience working as commissioner from 2011 to 2015 and as governor in the last eight months.

The commandant of the college, Rear admiral M.M Kadiri, and the College’s Director of Studies, D.G Prayero, who spoke differently, paid tribute the governor for his frank presentation and for his exemplary style of leadership which they said have earned him so much respect and admiration within the few months he has so far served the people of Borno State.

    Increasing taxes might be in order. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren both think it’s a necessity for achieving the ideal society – and helping widows and orphans is an even nobler ideal than forgiving student loans. Maybe a guaranteed income of $1,000 a month could buy peace also. If Bernie and Elizabeth lose the coming election I hope they both go to Nigeria and show the world how it works.

    Hardcore Muslims like turning prosperous countries into third world crap holes. If oil is beneath their feet they will exploit and mismanage it until it becomes a curse. The endemic corruption in these countries only solidifies under the tyranny of the religious ruling class and their co-conspirators, the military.

      The Zakat is supposedly 2.5% of a person’s total wealth to be used for such causes as the poor and needy. That sounds very much like Elizabeth Warren’s 2% tax on the rich … just more democratic. And maybe if the number of poor and needy increases the tax rate should go up also. Could a white immigrant woman to Nigeria become its president? It would be such an inspiration for the world.

        Please be aware that K 9:60 is traditionally interpreted to require that 1/8 of zakat go to those fighting for the cause of al Lah.

          Makes sense. Jihad is a moneymaker by keeping the booty coming in.

    The Western Left will not care about this in the least. Indeed, if it comes to their attention, they will bury it. Doesn’t fit the “narrative” and all that.

    …………………….

    *Just horrifying*. To offer some perspective, this is about the population of Topeka, Kansas; Fargo, North Dakota; or Berkeley, California. And this is just one state in Nigeria…

    God, I hate Islam.

    Why is the Vatican so mute? Is it a colour issue? Would the Pope be mute if white Christians were murdered? I am deeply saddened and filled with indignation. There seems to be no leadership.

      Taint a race thing. They kill white Christians in Chechnya and the Balkans and America and France and the pope doesnt get excited about that either.

        True, elee.

    About 30,000 Nigerian Christians have been killed by Muslims in the last 20 years … over 1,000 per year.

      That is a very low number.

      • gravenimage says

        Jan 31, 2020 at 6:04 pm

        Yes, it is–the numbers in the article above alone make it clear that the figures are much higher.

      They do not arm th emselves and so are defenceless. Muslims only understand violence. They think people who do not want to fight and shed blood, take slaves, etc. Are weak. They will never learn a better way until they meet Jesus.

    “…He explained that a strategic leader must be a strategic listener and reader. A strategic thinker must also be a strategic learner. A strategic leader must be willing to hear the truth and to learn.”

    The strategic leader must also speak truth, regularly. Otherwise he/she is like the allah god of islam (the best of all deceivers) and its exemplar, Muhammad, a rather constant lier.
