Afghans Refused To Resist Talibans Because They Cherish Faith Based Govt — NBA Ex-President, J. B Daudu (SAN)

*Says the situation is like that of IPOB and South-Eastern
Nigeria where There Is No Real Resistance
*Says Nigeria Is Not As Religiously Homogeneous As Afghanistan
*Says Nigeria Has Its Peculiar Problems
*Says Nigeria Is Living On Loans But No One Is Talking
*Says Nigerian Visitation Shall Be More Devastating Than That Of
Afghanistan

A Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and former President of the
Nigerian Bar Association, Joseph Bodunrin Daudu, popularly referred
to as JB Daudu, has aired his opinion on the take over of
Afghanistan by Talibans

Daudu, on a Facebook post on Wednesday August 18, 2021, said
Afghans failed to resist the Talibans not because they could not,
but because they actually preferred faith based government.

He likened the situation to that of the led Nnamdi Kanu’s
Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, which he said has not received
any real resistance in the South East of Nigeria

“What use is it to blame a foreign country for failing to
protect another one when the latter country wants another system.
The Talibans were able to sweep across Afghanistan in less than 24
hours not because the people in the provinces do not know how to
resist them but because deep inside them they cherish a faith based
Government. Their only problem is the brand of radical Islam
propagated by the Talibans.

“A near comparison is the case of IPOB and South Eastern
Nigeria. I have not seen any real resistance to the leadership of
IPOB in the East, hence there is substantial compliance with their
orders. So Nigeria is not on the same footing as Afghanistan
because we are not ethnically and religiously homogeneous as the
latter is. There will be resistance the type that has never before
been seen in the history of warfare should any group wage or
attempt to wage religious war against the order.

“Bet let us consider the other less likely option which is that
everyone has been so jazzed that we allow one group to overrun the
other. Can we turn round then and blame the USA, UK or France or
even Ghana for not saving Nigeria or for not accepting refugees
from us . No. We cannot blame anybody just as the Afghans and their
wailing sympathizers worldwide are doing now on account of
America’s long announced and planned withdrawal because there is no
legal or moral obligation for America to continue to interfere in
the internal affairs of that country.” Daudu said

The learned silk stated that Nigeria has its peculiar problems.
According to him, Nigeria cannot have leaders who are only after
their own comforts and the fullness of their stomachs and expect
its institutions to survive. That the country is living on loans
yet no one is saying anything

Daudu said the Nigerian Visitation will be more devastating than
that of Afghanistan if the needful is not done. He therefore called
for change in self-destructive policies and pursue equity,
truthfulness and justice

He said, “Our problem has solution and we can start now by
speaking up against evil in our system. We cannot have leaders who
are only after their own comforts and the fullness of their
stomachs and expect our institutions to survive. We cannot continue
to make the wrong choices and expect somewhat miraculously that all
will be well with our country.

“Now, we are living on loans, no one is talking, our
institutions are being weakened no one bats an eyelid. The security
architecture has been severely fractured, what are we doing? When
Nigeria receives her own visitation as a result of our collective
insincerity and unseriousness, it certainly will not come in the
variant of the Afghanistan travail. It will come in a more
devastating but comical manner.

“It will remind us of Humpty Dumpty who when he had a great
fall, all the Kings men and horses could not put it together again.
So we should careful and regard the Afghanistan experience as a
signpost for us to make a sharp U- turn from our current path of
self destruction and tow the path of truthfulness, equity and
Justice and perhaps, may be just perhaps we may be saved from the
looming destruction.”
