Leah Sharibu: It's unfortunate Christian girl was stolen by Boko Haram - Fani-Kayode

Femi Fani Kayode has reacted over Reno Omokri describing  Garbage shehu as the unfortunate  Christian girl stolen by Boko Haram

"In response to a legitimate & interesting challenge from my friend & brother @renoomokri, the former spokesman to @GEJonathan, @GarShehu , the spokesman for to @MBuhari, has described the great Leah Sharibu as the "unfortunate Christian girl stolen by Boko Haram".

"As far as he is concerned Leah has no name but she is just an "unfortunate Christian girl". The presidential spokesman is heartless, arrogant, insensitive & bigoted. Would he have spoken like this about Leah if she was a Muslim? Why did feel the need to mention her faith?

"Does the fact that she is Christian make her a lesser Nigerian? Is she a chattel or a piece of property that can be described as being "stolen"? Is she not a human being too? Or is the fact that she is Christian or that she is a female make her less human?

"Nigerians deserve far better than this. The Christian community in Nigeria deserves far better too! This is an insult on every Christian & every right-thinking Nigerian. May God judge and punish Shehu Garba and those he represents for speaking in this way about Leah,

"Who is one of the greatest Christian heroes that Nigeria has ever known and a deeply courageous soul who sacrificed her liberty (and possibly her life) by standing proudly for her faith and refusing to convert to Islam even at the point of a knife and gun.

"What we need in Nigeria are a few Samir Geagea's, the leader of the old Lebanese Kataeb Regulatory Forces & Christian Falange (Uwait). If u want to know more about him & them & the role they played in fighting Islamic fundamentalism in the Lebanese civil war, google it.
