Femi Fani-Kayode recently advocated on Twitter for Nigerians to stop depending on foreign economic models and validation and to face domestic difficulties head-on. He questioned the funding sources and motivations behind recent terrorist actions, like as the attack on a mosque in Kaduna and the numerous kidnappings that have occurred in other states, pointing out a trend observed across multiple countries.
Fani-Kayode expressed grave worry and underlined the necessity of resolving Nigeria’s enduring problems. He criticized the supposed role played by Western countries in maintaining instability and urged the country to look to other major players in the world, including as China, Iran, and Russia, for support. He warned against putting too much faith in help from the West, comparing it to giving Red Riding Hood’s safety to the wolf.
Fani-Kayode’s call resonates amidst escalating violence, with Nigeria grappling with successive abductions and terrorist incidents. Urging unity and resilience, he implored Nigerians to unite, transcend differences, and confront the challenges threatening the nation’s peace, dignity, and prosperity, while appealing to divine intervention for guidance and deliverance.
He said: “It is time that we confront the matter with an iron hand and fight back to save Nigeria.
It is time for us to get off our knees, to throw away the begging bowl, to stop constantly seeking validation from those that do not wish us well, to stop blindly implementing their disastrous economic models which seek to impoverish and destroy our people, to uproot and reject their well-planted seeds of division and to stop tolerating their subversive activities.
Ask yourself, who funds the terrorists and bandits and where do they get their weapons from?
They did it in Mali, Burkina Faso, Chad, Niger, Algeria, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Egypt, Syria and so many other countries over the years and decades and now they are doing it here.
Ask yourself who was behind the attack on a mosque in which worshippers were killed on Friday in Kaduna and what was the purpose of this abominable and condemnable act of terror if not to destabilise us and create panic and chaos in our nation?
