How exactly do they want more?

You're taking away their sanctuary, their place of worship and you call it "wanting more"?



Is this the lame excuse you're using to justify this demolition? I'm not even concerned about that, what's more appaling is the display of religion intolerance and ignorance on this thread. i.e "muslims of Igbo extraction should be 'cleansed'
just as your darling Fashola took away their sanctuary in Lagos. . Abeg shut your ignorant mouth and go play in the Romance section. Your ignorance is stupifying, this is not mascara and lipstick, 4ck off to your forte.

And then you guys get mad when Eko-Ile starts saying the same thing about Igbos in Lagos.

I see.

Please, DON'T MIX RELIGION and ETHNICITY TOGETHER.

Igbos in Lagos are doing business, paying their dues including taxes, rent, everything (nothing is free for them in Lagos), in fact, the current administration has demolished several properties belonging to the igbo group than it has destroyed compared to other groups. Yet, with persistence, we endured and here you are preaching for us. Please, leave all of that.

Super1759: Is the government mad to demolish their mosque?
if a church or mosque stands on the path of a federal dual carriage way, what do u think will happen? It will be brought down ofcourse for d road to go accross. In Abuja's own case, churches were brought down, including mosques. This is government function we're talking about mahn

And the Igbo muslims and Non-Igbo muslims in the SE are doing the opposite? What has the msulim population in the se done that Igbo indigines have not done (apart from worshiping Allah)?

Have you been smoking today? Twice, I have asked you same question.

No we're not doing the opposite, in fact, we're applying the rule of law - the govt has the authority within it's confines of power to destroy every illegal building causing obstruction to govt related exercise (construction).

No one has removed nor revoked their rights to gather, all the govt is saying, YOU CANNOT GATHER HERE, because it's causing an obstruction to govt exercise, which is cleaning up of the bridge. How hard is that to understand?

Unlike you qur'an (terrorist training manual), when Jesus made that statement, it was a metaphorical statement. Kinda like the parables, after all, the same Bible said, the words of God is edger and sharper than a two-edged sword. In other words, the sword Jesus meant was NOT violence, rather disagreement. He was talking about those who deny him, he will deny them before his own father, Christ was passing on a message.
This is what my Quran tells me
[060:008] Allah does not forbid
you to be just and righteous
towards those who did not go into
battle against you (over matters of
faith), and did not expel you from
your homes. Deal with them justly. Allah loves those who are just.

rhymz: Seriously, I feel personally offended that you will resort to insult a fellow Igbo brother in the mould of Onlytruth just to make a point that makes you look detribalize in the eyes of the people you are trying so hard to please. Which perception are you talking about? Between Igbos and Hausas who have shown more restraint in the light of the shenanigans going on in the north, are you a man at all let alone an Igbo person. Is the mosque the only structure that was demolished in that area? Why do you always try so hard to show the need that you are more upright and than every Igbo person on NL. I have noticed you are in the habit of arguing even against fellow Igbos who have done nothing but defend their rights and heritage without having to explain their existence to anyone like you are quick to do. You always feel the strong need to be fair to others even to the dentriment of your fellow Igbo coleagues. If you have any personal grudges against onlytruth, abeg no use am dey paint your comments in a way that you treat igbo interest on issues as inferior to others. In this case Peter Obi has done nothing wrong, his reasons are very valid, if their brothers in the North will use that as an excuse to commit act of voilence against Igbo people, it shows they do not deserve any of their mosque or religious element in any part of the east in the first place. If it was done in Lagos and heaven did not fall, no be our own go com different unless there is more to it for them than meet the eyes.

And so can the 99%. More than once, bombs have been planted in Enugu with no link to boko haram. I wonder who we should blame.

Please, let us learn to understand and forsee potential social dangers.

Wether we like it or not this is a sensitive issue, and the governor need to atleast provide a new site for the mosque before demolition.

This will give the BH, a reason to attack southerners in the north, please let us protect each other not foolishly provoke repraisal attacks .

Lack of religious tolerance.

Let's say Nigeria splits tomorrow, how peaceful would the ex-SE part of Nigeria be? I really feel sorry for una.

One language , One Ideology , One Culture and One religion = ONE NATION . This is how the nation that would rise from IGBO LAND would be . Forget about the whole "multiculturalism" lies that's being fed down to naive Americans , The 56 men who signed the declaration of independence in 1776 all had ONE ideology , language , culture , goal that brought them together and the lineage of this 56 men are still the folks "running things" behind the scene. You should look up what the Somali and Pakistani Muslims immigrants are doing to the Swedish and British people who tried to "happily tolerate" them ohhhh.....you don't even have to look that far take a look at the Middle belt , Jos to be precise and then tell me what you think about religious tolerance. There has to be a religion first BEFORE tolerance comes and ISLAM IS NOT A RELIGION , ITS AN IDEOLOGY, AN IDEOLOGY OF HATE , DESTRUCTION AND EXPANSION

[b]Speaking of religious tolerance, What religion should we tolerate here ? The kind of "religion" that encourages :
[/b]1.Killing of innocent civilians because of some cheap newspaper cartoon that was printed THOUSANDS of miles away in Denmark ?
2.Killing of innocent civilians because of a beauty pageant ?
3.Maiming innocent civilians all in the name of sharia ?
4.Marriage and intercourse between Adult men and adolescent teenage girls (sometimes girls under the age of 10 shocked , According to them that's how you get the girl "fresh" ...whatever that means)
5.FORCING your ideology / POV on others and if they refuse to agree with you THEN you become their ENEMY.
6.Killing of r.ape victims because according to their "religious doctrine" the woman that gets r.aped brought it upon herself because she "seduced and forced" the Poor , innocent and honest muslim man to commit the crime .

The so called "religion of peace" can only be compared to a cancer or brain tumor . It comes slowly , like a mild pain and next thing its consumed more than half of the entity it infected . A cancer cannot be tolerated , it must be treated and taken out with IMMEDIATE effect and the same goes for this "religion of peace"

Unfortunately, that's not how it seem to always work out...Global examples of terrorism can testify to these facts. Even Nigeria being used as a case study, less than 0.01% of the population is Boko Haram, YET, this group are responsible for all the terror attacks on Nigerian soil. They have dis-stabilized our great nation nation, so as you can see, you don't need a multitude to commit serious grave damage, that's why we the 99.9999% dread but not afraid of the 0.00001% of this callous groups.

Religious intolerance has been present since the inception of time, even before Christ, so what's the big deal on here? One might not tolerate another for his beliefs, just like some can't tolerate other people's sexuality, however, since there a common knowledge of understanding between conflicting groups, that's what matters. I don't need to respect nor value your religion, however, I still have self restrain to your religion.
