Well, with the Niger-Delta youth, every body on this planet knew they were fighting for a JUST cause...... The reasons for their grievances are;

A) Oil companies often pollute and desecrate their land and rivers with oil spills, and aren't cleaning it up... This therefore affects their means of livelihood. They cant fish nor farm

B) Despite the fact that for 90% of Nigeria's foreign earnings come from their region, only a meagre revenue is allocated back to them, bearing in mind that regions that contribute the least get more

C) Very few Niger-Deltans actually benefit from oil-blocks ownership, compared to other regions of the federation



So there is a justifiable cause as to why there are militants in Niger-Delta, hence why they were given amnesty. Niger-Delta also had specific targets (oil installations and expatriates).

They never went to Mosques with Ak47 to kill and behead women and children.


They never went to youth Camps to kill Muslim graduates and maim them

They never said all Nigerians should convert to Christianity, and that Yaradua should convert to Christianity...

They also gave notices in advance b4 bombing.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not condoning militancy, but you and I would agree that there are valid reasons as to why Niger-Deltan Youths were bitter. Where you and I might disagree are the means by which they protested their aggressions.


Why northern Muslim youths are bitter is beyond me..... They aren't bitter towards IBB, Abacha's family, etc, but innocent Christians in their midst. What has an innocent Christian selling spare parts in Kano got to do with Northern Muslims' problems, that you behead him and burn his properties?

What has the northern Christians got to do with your problem, that you go to their churches, burn them alive, and set the buildings ablaze?

What has the Christians up north got to do with your governors stealing money, taking vacations in Dubai, and marrying under-age girls?

Why ain't you limiting your targets to your leaders, and past governors that ruined your states?

Why can't Boko Haram declare a bounty on the son of Jigawa's governor, for trying to smuggle money out of the country?

Why can't they demand that Abacha and IBB's loots be brought to their region, to develop their once thriving textile industry?

Instead, they see innocent Christians who can't fight back as easy targets, killing them like vampires looking for blood.

Their demands are silly and barbaric. They all want us to be Muslims by force, isn't that laughable?



Fellow Nigerians, these extremists are beasts, because only beasts kill innocent children. You can never reason with beasts, you destroy them like vampires.

This Sheik and his supporters are just intolerant and unreasonable. He said the forces that killed Tafawa and Ahmadu Bello are back......

Where was he when his kinsman killed Ken Saro Wiwa. I'm sure Sheik only sees things in black and white.... 'If you not a Muslim, you must always be against us.'..

Ironically, Sheik Gumi used 'Facebook', a non-Muslim medium to air his views.... Now, that is Haram......

BlueMurder:


You are the one behaving like an ostrich here: seeing a clear truth and pretending that it is not. Why not point out any false thing the Shaykh said? The man started by condemning the few misguided Muslims who shed others blood in the name of Islam, before going on to clarify that it was not an occurrence limited to some misguided Muslims alone. He then reminded us of what Amnesty International had earlier informed us regarding extra-judicial killings being perpetrated by the security forces in the North-East particularly. He reminded us further of the injustice of January 1966. Was all that false?

Yet, you called him a coward and claimed you had lost respect for him. What respect? Just be honest and say you never had any respect for him!

teniyi:
You just vomited rubbish.

Was it MOSQUE that attacked church, where and when were people forced with a gun to become muslim?

What is the meaning of christian don't riot? So riots and protest in countries like Congo, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Greece, France etc were not carried out by your fellow christian?
Just say something that can hold water. Ok?

abdulkayus: I read it on his page 2day written in Hausa language. Even me as a Muslim didnt agree 100% wit his postulations. Northerners dont lyk tellin theirselves d truth, dat is y dis religion intolerance, religion crisis will continue here and there if care is nt taken. Instead of lookin inward to solve their problem, dey lyk pushind blame on d other side.
Sheik Gumi, i am a muslim lyk u and do listen to ur sermon very well bt i disagree wit u on most of ur points on dis articles. Tel ur northerner bro who behave lyk herd of sheeps d truth.
CIAO.

SUBMARINE: @Blue Murder What of the injustice of 1945, 50s & 60s committed by hausa-fulanis. Pls the 50,000 Igbos killed in 1966 did they all made mockery of Sarduna's death. If 1966 coup was an Igbo coup how come OJUKWU & IRONSI who are both Igbos stopped the coup plotters and jailed them.

JaaizTech:

I am a Muslim too, and this is exactly where I stand; Northerners find it so difficult to see how much they have wronged themselves and others. I don't know if it is arrogance, or lack of exposure or because for decades they have been in power and have always looked at themselves from within themselves. They are just damn too blind to see, and perhaps too arrogant to accept the truth as it is. Boko-Haram is not Islam, ideology of Boko-Haram is anti-Islam, Boko-Haram has its origins in the north, it flourishes in the north because of the failure of the past leaders to help her people develop. This is the plain truth, accept and look for a way to solve the problem, that's the approach i expect from the north, not to remain in denial. There are obvious instances that a group people (Christians) would have done some things to malign or harm Islam and the North, just the same way there have been instances a group of people (Muslims) have done things to malign or harm christians and the south; these issues would always exist, the onus is on us to prepare ourselves for the challenges, to develop the North, to develop her people, most importantly. It is nobody's fault that the North is so poorly educated and wallowing in immense poverty, it is nobody's fault but the Fault of the Northern leaders themselves

BlueMurder:

You are a Muslim? Interesting. A real Muslim does not speculate on issues and does not segregate on the basis of tribalism or ethnicity. You are insinuating that the North introduced Boko Haram to achieve some ulterior motives. Is that a fact? And for whatever reason, you are trying to segregate between Northern and Southern Muslims. Is that what Islam taught you? Don't deceive yourself: non-Muslims perceive Muslims as the same, whether you are from the North, West, East or South. So, drop that irritating, condescending attitude of yours.

hotwax:
Let's not make sense out of nonsense. I didn't wanna comment but these mo.rons will not let me hold my peace.
Why comparing buying private jet with boko hram? How did buying private jet got any muslim killed? How did that bomb any mosque.
Nija delta militant record still lingers in our mind. They did not tell anyone to convert to christian or vacate the south.
Many hausa men heads oil offices in niger-delta, did you see mend killing them?
Did you see nija deltan attacking mosques?
Did hear them saying they are fighting for Jehovah?

Stop making fraudulent excuses for boko haram. Kindly give us A̶̲̥̅​ tangible excuse and not illogical, off-topic excuses.

Thank you.

Aggrippa:
bro how is my post illogical? i just tried to justify the acquisition of private jets by our pastors.as a matter of fact i dont have a problem with that notwithstanding the fact that i do not own one. have you forgotten so easily that there was a time when it was a shame to profess your faith as a christain in this country? i do not want to go back memory lane to recount those years, because such experiences brings tears to my eyes, and makes me start weeping. anyone who is not okay with that should go and launch himself from Zuma rock, Abuja

benson19: pastors ar buyin private jets is dat d reasons ur brodas ar buzi bombin churches up north??

hotwax:

When was christians ashamed of their religion? Why this up and down in the name of siding boko haram. Your case is hopeless.
I will still ask you again. What is the link between pastors private jets and boko haram daily massacres ?
Just answer us with logic and stop jumping from trees to tress without any fruit.

Somebody jump from zuma rock? Lol, christians don't die or kil themselves with petty reasons. That's what make you muslims.
You can't hold A̶̲̥̅​ simple argument without killing or getting killed.
SMH for your hopeless brain

i think you are suffering from dual personality disorder(DPD) multiple personality disorder i strongly advice that you take your medication immediately any delay could be fatal.

Then you are suffering from logical and reasoning disorder.

Hotwax agreed there is no link between pastors private jets and bokoharam it was Lagusta that made me digress . Please dont be offended
