The EU–Italy Axis and Its ‘Unholy’ Dealings With Nigeria’s Tinubu Regime [MUST READ]

“EU Why?, Italy Why?, Finland Why?, France Why?, Britain Why?, Norway Why?, etc.? … Why? Why? Why?…”

Must read

In the last few days, there have been trending Newspapers’ and other news media reports on the so-called “European Union Deepening of Defence Corporation” agreement, which the E.U. just entered into with the President Tinubu-led Nigerian federal government. Quo vadis?

In fact, few days earlier, it was Italy that was reported in the media to have sold sophisticated “Military Aircrafts” to Tinubu regime in Abuja. And only yesterday, the news media reported that the European Union is “deepening its Defence Corporation” with the same Tinubu federal government of Nigeria.

Some months ago it was Finland that entered into a similar sinister laden new construction contract trade agreement with Nigeria, for the construction of Gas Pipeline Shipping Industry in Lagos coastal area. A sinister laden contract award from Nigerian government of President Tinubu to Finland government of Alex Stubb, which was the agreement Finland reached with the Tinubu regime, because Tinubu regime wanted by all means to use it to cause Finland authorities to extradite, or at least, force Finland to arrest and jail the Finland-based Biafra freedom fighter and agitator, Mazi Simon Ekpa. Finland engaging in a “Trans-National Repression” against African freedom fighters resident in the European Union member country of Finland! The aim of which was to stop Ekpa from speaking about Biafra self-determination and independence, and also to stop him from pressuring the Nigerian government through his social media platforms, to release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB. Finland after that fraudulent oil and gas contract from the Tinubu regime, went and arrested Simon Ekpa and sentenced him to 6 years imprisonment in Lahti, Finland. All because that was what the Nigerian government of President Tinubu told Finland President Alex Stubb, to do as condition for the gas contract.

These European countries are entering into a bilateral trade agreement and contracts, to sale military aircrafts and other military weapons to a government and President of an African country such as Nigeria; the Nigerian government and president where the National Security Adviser, is supplying AK-47 and other military weapons to the Jihadist Fulani terrorists aka bandits, and he defends such illegal and fraudulent activities by saying that the Jihadist Fulani terrorists are armed by him because they are now serving as “Vigilantes”, in a Christian and indigenous peoples’ dominated communities in Kwara and surrounding villages? And the Military and Police are not aware of this incorporation of Jihadist Fulani terrorists aka bandits and converting them into “Vigilante” outfits in Kwara State? What a deceit?

E.U., Italy, France, Finland, Britain, etc., are signing sale of military weapons to Nigeria in the name of deepening defence relations with Nigeria? That is, with Nigeria, a country where someone that credible intelligence and concrete evidences confirmed that he has links with the leader of the Jihadist Fulani terrorists in Zamfara State, Bello Turji, is a serving Federal Minister of Defence for State, the former Governor of Zamfara, Matawalle?

E.U. and European countries of Italy, France, Finland, Britain, etc. are romancing with the Nigerian President Tinubu and government that has not been able to do anything tangible to rescue and liberate the over 215 remaining school children of St Mary’s Catholic School in Niger State, who were kidnapped, sorry, who were forcefully taken away from their dormitories by the Jihadist Fulani terrorists aka bandits about three weeks ago? That means that those kidnapped children from the Catholic school in Niger State are going to spend their Christmas and New Year in captivity, at the hands of their captors, the Islamist Jihadist Fulani terrorists aka bandits? Meanwhile, President Tinubu and the National Assembly lawmakers and States governors are back to their ancestral homes and states to celebrate the end of the year festivities with their respective family members and relatives. None of these Nigerian politicians and oligarchs is asking about how are those kidnapped children of the St Mary’s Catholic School going to celebrate their own Christians and New Year? What a wicked world?

E.U. and those other European countries of Italy, France, Finland, Britain, etc., are romancing with the terrorist sponsoring and terrorist financing government of President Tinubu, Nigeria, that refused to sign into law the National Assembly legislation that recommended Death Penalty for terrorists and kidnappers. Yet, Tinubu is telling the lies that he is fighting terrorism and kidnapping. But the president can’t sign into law that National Assembly legislation that allows for Death Penalty sentencing to those terrorists and bandits who may be convicted of terrorism and kidnapping by competent court of law? Who is deceiving who?

This is a country, Nigeria, where the Fulani Oligarchs from Northern Nigeria are threatening the newly appointed federal Minister of Defence, former Military Defence Service Chief, Gen Christopher Musa, a Northern Christian of Hausa ethnic group, never to dare touch or kill the Jihadist Fulani terrorists aka bandits and other Islamist terrorists operating in Northern Nigeria. According to them, those Fulani Jihadist terrorists are their warriors and freedom fighters? This is the country and government, E.U., Italy, Finland, Britain, etc., are happy entering into the so-called “Defence Corporation and trade alliance on sales of Military Aircrafts and weapons? Wonders never end!

“Birds of the same feather…”

E.U countries know very well that any military aircrafts or weapons they sell to this APC-led Jihadist-driven federal government of President Tinubu will eventually end up at the hands of the Islamist Insurgents and Jihadist Fulani terrorists. Yet, E.U as a body, and the European countries such as Italy, France, etc. are deepening their so-called “Defence” agreement and alliance aka sales of military aircraft’s and weapons to Tinubu Regime, a corrupt and Jihadist-driven regime, that there is a credible evidence that the regime is sponsoring and financing the ongoing Islamist insurgency and Jihadist Fulani terrorism killings of Nigerian Christians and indigenous populations?

E.U., Italy and France, etc., why are you European countries redeeming your military aircraft and weapons sales to this APC-led Nigerian federal government of President Tinubu, the Tinubu regime that there is a credible evidence that the regime has sold the Nigerian State to the Islamists and the Jihadist Fulani Oligarchs?

*E.U why? Italy why? Why are you European countries selling military aircrafts and weapons to an African government, a regime that is sponsoring and financing the genocide against Christians and indigenous peoples in Nigeria. Europe why?*

When you hear that E.U. or an European country at a time like this, has entered into a “bilateral” agreement with this Jihadist-driven APC-led Federal Government under President Alhaji Bola Ahmed Tinubu, what does that tell you? What is it that comes to your mind first?

Certainly, it is all about an “unholy” alliance between two “parties with their evil, sinister agenda, E.U countries and the Jihadist-driven APC-led Nigerian federal government under President Tinubu.” Q.E.D.

It is all about Nigeria entering into an “unholy” agreement with the E.U countries, so that European countries of E.U. will continue to advance the European neo-colonial agenda and economic interests in Nigeria and by extension in Africa, exploiting the incompetent and corrupt, lopsided government of such a weak President like Tinubu, to continue to exploit and impoverish the African people and continent. Which E.U countries also achieve by supporting an incompetent and corrupt African government like that of President Tinubu of Nigeria, which is using insecurity, Islamist Insurgency and Jihadist Fulani terrorism and killings of Christians and other indigenous ethnic populations, to remain in power, and win Elections through rigging, violence and Islamist terrorism itself.

This is what this so-called “E.U deepening Defence Corporation with Nigeria”, is all about. It has nothing to do with providing security of lives and property to the common masses in Nigeria. It is all a deception.

This is nothing but a deception, to hide how E.U. and European countries such as France, Italy, Britain, Belgium, etc. are aiding and sponsoring radical Islamist insurgency and Jihadist Fulani terrorism in West African countries, such as Nigeria and the Sahel countries of Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, Chad, etc.

In fact, this is how E.U. and E.U. countries such as France, Britain, Italy, Germany, Belgium, Portugal, etc., are sponsoring and aiding regimes of dictatorship, and corrupt African politicians, especially the Jihadist-driven African governments and presidents, like President Alhaji Ahmed Bola Tinubu of Nigeria and co., in the name of the so-called “democracy”, to continue to milk African resources, by sponsoring and installing into political powers in different African nation states like Nigeria, such corrupt and Jihadist-driven individuals like late Muhammadu Buhari and his present successor, Alhaji Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as President of Nigeria. The aim of which is to use such corrupt individuals and regime to continue to spread radical Islamist insurgency and Jihadist Fulani terrorism and killings of Christians and indigenous Ethnic populations of the African people. Since European countries such as France, Britain, Italy, Spain, Germany, etc., in fact, the E.U. as a body as well, from behind, sponsor the Islamist Insurgency and Jihadist Fulani terrorism in African countries, their former colonies, and use it (insecurity and Islamist terrorism), as instrument for creating wars and instability in those African countries with rich mineral and natural resources, so as to use the puppets they installed as presidents in those African countries, to continue to exploit and milk Africa.

Does it surprise anybody that since the renewed Radical Islamist Insurgency and Jihadist Fulani terrorism – terrorist activities of kidnapping of school children and killing of many Christians and indigenous peoples and destruction of Christian Churches and communities, especially in the Middle-Belt and Southern regions of Nigeria, no European country of note, or the E.U. itself as a body, has uttered any words of condemnation, or rebuked President Tinubu and his Government for their incompetence, and for not doing anything tangible or concrete, to stop the Radical Islamists and Jihadist Fulani herdsmen terrorism and killings and destruction of lives and communities going on in Nigeria? No. All we are hearing now is that the E.U itself and countries such as France, Italy, etc., have signed a new bilateral agreement to sale Military Aircrafts and sophisticated military weapons to the same Jihadist-driven Tinubu government that is being accused of aiding and financing the Radical Islamist Insurgency and Jihadist Fulani terrorism and killings of Christians and indigenous peoples in Nigeria? Quo vadis?

This is happening at the time the administration of the U.S President Trump has declared Nigeria a ‘Country of Particular Concerned’, and both the Canadian Court and Parliament have accused the two main political parties in Nigeria, the ruling APC party and the main opposition party PDP, past and present members of these political parties, as “Terrorist Organisations”. Especially, since there are credible evidences that those politicians in today’s APC, PDP aka ADC, are the ones who imported the Islamists terrorists and Jihadist Fulani terrorism into the country Nigeria. The late Buhari and Tinubu coalition since 2012, and especially in 2014, used those imported Islamist terrorists and herdsmen militias to create situation of insecurity in the country, to unseat the former President Goodluck Jonathan during the 2015 Presidential Election.

The Buhari-Tinubu coalition aka APC, in 2014, entered into a coalition and imported the Islamists Insurgents and Jihadist Fulani terrorists into Nigeria and used them to unseat the former President Goodluck Jonathan in the 2015 Presidential Election. The APC political party uses Islamists terrorism and Fulani Jihadism as a means of remaining in power through violence, insecurity and rigging! This is the Tinubu regime the E.U., France, Italy, etc., are selling Fighter Aircrafts and other military weapons to, in the name of assisting the Terrorist regime of Tinubu in “terrorism?” Which terrorism, the same terrorism Tinubu brought into Nigeria and his ministers and some of the military service-chiefs, past and present, this APC government appointed, there are credible evidences that these individuals in Tinubu government are the chief sponsors of the Islamist terrorism and Fulani Jihadism.

And today, the same President Tinubu the E.U. is doing business of arms military aircraft sales to, in the name of the combating “terrorism”, has refused to sign into National Assembly recent legislative law, that allows for the Death Penalty for terrorist Kidnappers? Yet, the same Tinubu is telling the international community that he and his government are committed to fighting terrorism, kidnapping and banditry in Nigeria. And in his usual deceptive pretence, and manoeuvring, Tinubu said he promised his European and American interlocutors that he would be establishing the so-called “State Police”, to fight terrorism? What a deception! Tinubu by State Police, plans to legalise the Jihadist Fulani Miyetti Allah militias, and the other Islamist insurgent terrorists the APC imported into the country, integrate them with their local politicians’, especially, the states governors’ and lawmakers’ political thugs and killer-squads, and convert them into the so-called “State Police?” Otherwise, where on earth can the so-called “State police” function credibly in an abnormal colonial created contraption called Nigeria, that practices a “Unitary” system of government, where every power is concentrated at the Centre and in the person of the president in Abuja? Who is fooling who?

Can E.U., or Italy or France claim that they do not know about all these, how Tinubu regime is financing, shielding and protecting the Islamist terrorists and Jihadist Fulani, facilitating things for them to continue their terrorist activities of killing, kidnapping and banditry in different parts of Nigeria?
Only the gullible is deceived! ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

Conclusion:

It is a high time to call a spade a spade, and tell the citizens and political leaders of Europe and their local agents in Africa, spin-offs, that enough is enough. Africa and African people have suffered enough at the hands of the West and those it’s African puppets, corrupt and bloodsucking African politicians, the so-called African leaders the West often promote as ideal leaders that respect the West’s kind in “democratic principles” fashioned by the former colonial masters for the post-Independent African nation states, in different parts of Africa ? While in truth, those African leaders are nothing but Western European puppets, corrupt politicians and dictators, who were put there and supported by the Western powers to promote and protect the Western interests and not that of their country men and women, fellow African citizens! The whose only major achievements of those African despotic leaders and corrupt politicians, the West often applaud, is their continued subjugation and impoverishment of their own fellow African people and country.

It is high time this trend of political leadership vision and structure in Africa must be put to end, so that the African people and countries will be able to begin to breathe fresh air and choose their own future in their own terms. ‎ ‎
