WEEKEND MUSING

WHEN EVIL CHANGES ITS COLOUR, TRUTH MUST NOT CHANGE ITS VOICE

The Necessity of Exposing Evil, No Matter the Garment It Wears

One of the enduring teachings handed down to us as we journeyed into adulthood was that he who speaks truth and exposes evil, irrespective of whose interest is offended, ultimately enjoys the protection of the gods of the land. The wisdom behind that ancient injunction is simple: a society that loses the courage to confront evil gradually becomes a society governed by it.

In contemporary society, however, evil has become remarkably sophisticated. It no longer wears only the obvious garment of wickedness. It can wear the robe of authority, the uniform of security, the language of politics, the appearance of philanthropy, the prestige of wealth, or even the respectable cloak of religion. Sometimes, it comes smiling, shaking hands and speaking the language of public interest. At other times, it hides behind institutions and powerful individuals who have mastered the art of appearing innocent while others execute their designs.

And therein lies one of the greatest dangers confronting society today: evil frequently triumphs, not because it is stronger than truth, but because those who recognise it are too frightened to expose it.

People remain silent for fear of death, intimidation, arrest, victimisation, professional consequences, economic deprivation or, even more dangerously, being deliberately set up by the very persons against whom they dare to speak. Political power-wielders, influential individuals and some soulless beneficiaries of wealth have, in some circumstances, perfected different colours and strategies of evil, confident that the machinery of government, or the silence of the uninformed and impoverished, will provide them with sufficient cover.

Niccolò Machiavelli, in his famously controversial reflections on power, understood one uncomfortable truth about political society: power is often preserved through perception, appearances and the calculated management of fear. That insight remains instructive, even where one rejects the morality of the Machiavellian method. The danger begins when those who possess power discover that institutions can be manipulated to give an appearance of legitimacy to what is fundamentally unjust.

That is why the greatest antidote to concealed evil remains illumination. What is brought into the light becomes considerably more difficult to conceal.

In the course of my career as a lawyer, and activist , I have learnt many hard and sometimes bitter lessons. I have equally learnt that one of the most effective instruments for confronting societal ills is the courageous exposure of wrongdoing, regardless of whose ox is gored. Evil flourishes best in darkness; it becomes considerably less comfortable when its identity, sponsors, methods and consequences are publicly brought into the light.

The Holy Scriptures understood this principle long before modern society discovered the vocabulary of accountability. The Bible admonishes: “Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.” — Ephesians 5:11.

That is not a counsel to recklessness, vindictiveness or trial by public opinion. It is a solemn reminder that silence must never become an accomplice of wickedness.

We have seen situations in which wealthy and influential individuals enlist the machinery of security or other institutions against their perceived adversaries, sometimes through carefully contrived allegations, orchestrated complaints or elaborate setups. The tragedy is compounded when the person at the receiving end is left wondering why the entire machinery of the State appears suddenly to have descended upon him, while the unseen architect of the ordeal comfortably watches from behind the curtain.

But there is another dimension that deserves serious interrogation.
If society is encouraged to “see evil and speak evil,” then speaking evil must not become a convenient instrument for silencing the vulnerable while the powerful perpetrators and internal enablers remain untouched. The question must therefore extend beyond who reported the evil to who created it, who enabled it, who financed it, who executed it and who benefited from it.

This is particularly important in the context of contemporary governance and security administration. How effectively are institutions identifying internal sabotage? What safeguards exist against the misuse of governmental and security machinery by private interests? What mechanisms are available to distinguish genuine intelligence from malicious information deliberately supplied to settle personal, political, commercial or land-related scores?

These are not academic questions. They are among the realities confronting the downtrodden in our society.

At every turn, wealth and political influence can create an asymmetry of power. The man with money can hire advisers, lawyers, agents and influence; the poor man may have nothing but the truth, and sometimes even the truth appears to require a lawyer before it is permitted to speak.

This is particularly evident in many of the land disputes that find their way into our courts. In my professional experience, a significant number of land disputes in court today, arise from attempts by the powerful to deploy every available colour of influence to dispossess persons who have little or nobody to speak for them. The same pattern can manifest in criminal proceedings, where allegations may be constructed, embellished or strategically deployed against individuals who lack the resources or connections to defend themselves effectively.

Indeed, anyone who has had occasion to encounter the circumstances surrounding some prison inmates would appreciate that not every person behind prison walls necessarily arrived there because the full truth of his circumstances was fairly ventilated. Allegations, institutional failures, prosecutorial excesses, false accusations and the unequal capacity of individuals to defend themselves can sometimes produce consequences that ought to trouble every conscience.

And here lies the uncomfortable truth: Government becomes the highest enabler when public institutions allow themselves to be converted into instruments for private vendettas.

The State possesses enormous powers. It can arrest, prosecute, investigate, detain, restrict movement and deploy the coercive machinery of law. Those powers are necessary for maintaining order, but precisely because they are so formidable, they must never become instruments available to the highest bidder or the most politically connected.

A government that permits its institutions to be used for intimidation, false accusations, orchestrated setups or persecution of the vulnerable at the behest of private interests does more than injure one individual. It weakens public confidence in the institution itself and teaches society the dangerous lesson that justice belongs to those who can afford to purchase proximity to power.

Consequently, I continue to advocate that activists, human-rights defenders, professionals, journalists, community leaders and all persons of conscience must not surrender the responsibility of speaking truth to power. But such courage must be accompanied by responsibility, fairness and fidelity to truth.
The more responsibly evil is exposed, the more difficult it becomes for evil to survive.

We must therefore learn to look beyond the colour of the garment and examine what lies beneath it. Evil does not become righteousness because it wears a uniform. It does not become justice because it carries an official stamp. It does not become patriotism because it invokes the name of government. It does not become holiness because it quotes Scripture. And it certainly does not become truth merely because a powerful person has repeated it often enough.

A society that is afraid to expose evil eventually becomes a society that protects it. But a society whose citizens possess the courage to illuminate wrongdoing, question abuse of power and defend the vulnerable gives itself a fighting chance of preserving justice.

For, ultimately, darkness does not disappear because we complain about it; it retreats when someone has the courage to turn on the light.

If public officials have nothing to hide, they should welcome a transparent investigation.
Allegations of unexplained properties, foreign assets and possible tax violations involving Nigerian public officials must not be swept under the carpet.
Let the evidence speak. Let the relevant U.S. authorities investigate, verify the ownership, source of funds and tax compliance and publish the findings.

The report is for BIafrans in IPOB to pay attention.

IPOB Declares Authority to Deploy ESN Operatives Across Biafraland Without Local Permission

IPOB has issued a bold press statement declaring its authority to deploy ESN operatives across Biafraland without permission from governors, traditional rulers, or politicians.

In the April 30, 2026 statement signed by Mazi Chikadibia Edoziem, Head of the Directorate of State, IPOB says it will decisively tackle threats from Fulani herdsmen, Islamic jihadists, and terror groups, citing the failure of the Nigerian government and local Biafran leaders to protect the people.

IPOB warns collaborators working with the Nigerian state to grant terrorists access, stating it has strong intelligence on them.

Self-Determination or Silence? Interrogating Marginalization and the Call for a Biafra Referendum

“Before dismissing the cry for self-determination, a nation must first confront the reasons its people feel unheard, unseen, and unequal.”

Published on the Biafra Post

The statement by Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo urging Igbos to “interrogate claims of marginalization before agitating for Biafra” raises important questions, but it underestimates the depth of existing grievances. For many, marginalization is not a speculative claim—it is a long-standing perception shaped by political exclusion, uneven development, and historical experiences.

Agitation, therefore, is not emerging in a vacuum. It reflects a belief that conventional political processes have failed to adequately address these concerns. Asking people to delay or reconsider agitation without visible efforts toward structural fairness risks appearing dismissive.

From the perspective of Indigenous People of Biafra, the demand for self-determination is viewed as an irreversible exercise of a fundamental right under international principles.

Their position centers on the call for a peaceful and democratic solution—specifically, a referendum that allows the people of the Southeast to decide their political future.

Ultimately, the issue is not simply whether marginalization exists, but how it is addressed.

A credible path forward would involve open dialogue, measurable equity, and, where demanded, a transparent referendum process. Without these, calls to restrain agitation may fail to resolve the underlying tensions driving the movement.

“When dialogue fails and justice feels distant, the call for a referendum becomes not just a demand—but a declaration of a people’s will to decide their own future.”

HARVEST OF TEARS AS CHRISTIAN PRIEST AND ENTIRE FAMILY ARE BURIED IN PLATEAU STATE

Rev. Ayuba Choji, an ECWA pastor in Gako Village, Riyom Local Government Area, Plateau State, was gruesomely murdered with his entire family on the night of April 26, 2026 when gunmen surrounded his home and killed him and his entire family.

Last week, we reported that the terrorists have now resorted to targeted assassinations, seeing their mass abductions draw a lot of global attention and negative press.

What this means is, Christians all over the affected states have been identified and their locations geo-mapped for impending assassinations. So rather than invade a Christian village and kill say 70 or 100 at once, spread the killings over say 4,5 days or one week, via targeted assassinations, that way the buzz isn't as loud.

This is where things stand as of today. If you haven't noticed yet, start paying attention from today.

Believe me, if these guys are not stopped, they will never stop this genocide against Christians.
