Letter to The Archbishop of Canterbury
Dear
Most Reverend Justin Welby, The Archbishop of Canterbury. Sir, when
next you visit Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari, could you please
ask him why no one has been punished for the deaths of 347 Shiite men,
women, children and infants on his watch on December 15, 2015? Why do
you continue to affirm the man who has treated the deaths as though it
was nothing? Why the silence of the world? Civilians died in a war
situation in Aleppo and the world gets agitated. Civilians died in Zaria
where there is no war and the world accepts it. Is it because they are
Shiites? Are the Shiites not children of God? Do their lives not matter
as much as President Buhari's life? Remember that the Good Samaritan was
not a Jew.
He was a Samaritan, the enemy of the Jews. If you still keep
quiet and one day (God forbid) Nigerian Anglicans are killed (killings
in churches are not infrequent in Nigeria), how can you speak up against
the killings without appearing to be a hypocrite?
