BEFORE AFRICAN GODS LEAVE ICC, LET BUHARI ANSWER HIS CASE.

 I did not doubt my friend, a Ghanaian who whispered to me that Buhari was who lobbied his colleagues to start a protest to leave ICC. Was it why this protest came days after ICC received petition against Buhari? But it is always too late for the unjust and God will always serve justice through ICC.
I understand the implication of writing critically of these gods and I know very much it is sacrilegious. Nnamdi Kanu was thrown into the prison for being critical of one of the gods, instead of being charged of blasphemy, he was charged of terrorism and felony. To these gods, being critical of them is an attempt to snatch their godhood or cause damage to their chancel. The god that imprisoned Kanu does not know me neither has he placed a bounty on me, for that reason let me lay bare his sins. Cowards die many times before their death; i forbid to be one of them and shall not seal my lips, an act I learned from Nnamdi Kanu.

I am disappointed in African leaders, their position is a compromise on the guarantee of lives of Africans who are killed every day for lawfully opposing policies and decisions of their leaders. My friend from U.S.A mockingly called me and said, “Why are your leaders running away? If they are not desperate leaders who put their ambitions before the lives of African children, why then are they pulling out of ICC?”
I have nothing to reply other than, African leaders will never pull out, they should remain there for guarantee of the life of that jobless African child that is worthless to those African leaders, that jobless African child that tries to peacefully protest his ill-treatment or dissatisfaction and he is shot dead. ICC should be the fear factor that will control the overzealous leaders that instead of listen to their subjects choose to suppress and kill them. It is appalling that African children are killed for protesting, they are killed for making demands in a civilized and lawful way. And they are killed by Buhari, at-least the one I am a witness to.

Nonetheless, if they want to run away, they should stand an alternative court, one with equal power and as independent as ICC. There must never be a situation where crimes against humanity that is rampant in African will not be tried or a circumstance courts controlled by leaders should try leaders. Leaders must face unbiased trial for heinous crimes committed against their subjects; should any be brought to the international criminal court and instead of hide in shame should not seek to stop trial of their crimes against humanity, out rightly or potentially.

One of the reasons for the protest to leave ICC as claimed by Mugabe of Zimbabwe was that ICC tries only African leaders. One would ask who are the people that take petitions to ICC, does ICC initiate trials by themselves, are they not approached? Mugabe should not be blamed, as god over the people of Zimbabwe he sees any affront on his class as sacrilege, ICC has no right whatsoever to try god of Zimbabwe and all other gods of Africa.

These gods of African are either gods of lion or tiger; they eat everything, control everything and choose who eats or who starves. They don’t take any form of opposition; they want us to see them as giver and taker of lives. They said ICC try only them, they want us to support them, yes they are the target and they are crucified by ICC for what they did not do.

They want Africa to be haven for crimes against humanity, hundreds of thousands of African children die on the Mediterranean Sea, trying to enter Europe where their rights can be respected and where they can survive due to unfair economy murdered by their gods. These gods show no remorse, they have not convened any meeting to address the death as a result of immigration, they have not sat down to discuss how African children can be stopped from dying in the Mediterranean sea. They have woefully failed because they have no regard for the lives of African children, they regard only the position they hold.

These gods have something in common- never fight your fellow god or condemn your fellow god as far as he remains a god, even if he is feeding on the blood and sweat of African children, always show solidarity. Muhammed Buhari is killing Biafrans-African children, they have not said a word, Gbagbo killed during his time, they never said a word and Burundi is being ravaged by their god. These gods don’t want to be touched while some want to remain gods forever, Mugabe is one that only death can take away his godhood.
Guns sound here and there in Africa, each shot is aimed at African child. If terrorists spare us, these gods won’t spare us, if our gods spare us, terrorists won’t spare us. Silencing gun is a futuristic issue, aimed to be achieved in 2020. Our gods leaving ICC does imply that the guns shot at African child should be endured, seen as part of living and being an African child and ICC checking or trying the death of our dead with aim to serving justice becomes attack on them .

These our gods, for the fact they are not human beings, they don’t know how we feel, what it cost us when a child is lost to their warriors. They don’t know what mothers pass through to give birth to one child they kill without remorse. They equally don’t know how much we feel when ICC consoles us by bringing to justice murderers of our children. This is what they need to know, ICC gives us hope and endurance, ICC gives us reason to live with hope that our death shall be avenged legally should it be taken illegally.

These our gods, they complain that ICC targets them alone, they are not ashamed that they are always in the book of crimes against humanity. They want to run away from ICC because they can’t stop being the target hence to stop killing unarmed African children protesting for self-determination or change is impossible thing for them to do. They find it hard applying common sense as their gun is seen as the only solution, taking the lives of African children that lawfully oppose them like we are all worthless.
I support their move to be alone, stop being under the shadow of the white, even as they have to support Biafrans for pushing to leave white’s expired creation. Nothing is wrong leaving ICC for another ICC-like in Africa, but they should stand the ICC-like before leaving.

Finally, before they leave, Buhari have urgent date with ICC and let him enjoy the date to its fullness before leaving. An ocean of blood is speaking against Buhari, the spirit of a seven years old school child is crying and only deserving justice will give all parties rest. For this last time, let ICC close the chapter on African leaders with Buhari.
