Last
week, Lai Mohammed, the infamous minister of information (if you can call what
he does as dishing out information) denied being a liar and rhetorically asked
newsmen interviewing him to “give me one thing that I have said which is not
true”.
When I read that, I thought that perhaps he had repented from his demonic pastime of lying. But it appears I spoke too soon and I was too hopeful!

| *President Buhari and Lai Mohammed |
I say this because just days after justifying himself and in response to the US
congress citing Nigeria as “the most dangerous place for Christians in
the world”, Lai Mohammed had the following to say: “Such fallacies like the Islamisation of Nigeria, the killing of
Christians by Muslims, the labelling of Nigeria as the most dangerous place for
Christians in the world.”
I do not know about the Islamisation of Nigeria and I doubt that
President Muhammadu Buhari has such intentions, but to say that “the killing of Christians by Muslims”
is a ‘fallacy’ is a special kind of a lie that could only have proceeded from
the lips of a man whose own parents saw the perfidious destiny ahead of him and
chose to name their child Lai accordingly!
I
know for a fact that thousands of Christians have been killed by Muslims since
President Muhammadu Buhari came to power including hundreds in Southern Kaduna
(possibly thousands), even more hundreds in Agatu in Benue (although the Agatu
Community Elders said over 6,000 of their people have been killed), hundreds in
Bali and Donga Local Government Areas of Taraba, over a hundred killed in Enugu,
hundreds in Delta, and multiple other deaths of Christians at the hands of
Islamic extremists Fulani herdsmen.
This
is besides the thousands of Christians killed by Boko Haram and Evangelist
Bridget Agbahime beheaded in Kano (and whose suspected killers were discharged
and acquitted on the instructions of the Kano State Attorney General) and
Pastor Eunice Elisha killed in Kubwa after the morning ministration (whose
killers were not surprisingly never charged).
Lai Mohammed has a very distinguished career in lying. I imagine that if he could find his way there, Lucifer will gladly give him an honorary PhD from the University of the Pit of Hell!

Elsewhere,
I have detailed his lies but in this piece I want to inform my readers of a
troubling pattern I am noticing which is that lying seems to be the default
pattern of communication for not just Lai, but the ruling All Progressives
Congress, its members and sympathisers. I will prove it.
Two years ago, Reverend Father Ejike Mbaka, a known APC surrogate LIED that former President Jonathan wanted to kill him. Today, hunger is killing Nigerians and Mbaka’s lying mouth is silent!
