may God Almighty deliver Nigeria from the clutches of Israel and the US during this Jonathan (niger delta) administration.

last it was Iranian made weapons bought by gambia that Israel plotted to get ceased in Lagos,and the Iranians were arrested.

now Lebanese businessmen who are Shia Muslims and have nothing to do with salafist (shia hating) boko haram (a Wahhabi alqaeda affiliate) are now arrested and framed for "ties" with boko haram.as for "ties" with Hezbollah,what does "ties" mean? Hezbollah isn't depending on the money of businessmen to organize itself.hezbollah gets Iranian funds in hundreds of millions of dollars,and Syrian government support.

moreover,this would be a case of hypocrisy to the maximum.just last month when the Lebanese president,Michel Suleiman,visited Nigeria,the Lebanese agriculture minister Hussein Haj Hassan (a member of Hezbollah),accompanied him.he was one of the accompany members of the president's entourage.why didn't Nigeria arrest him? since when is Hezbollah a "terrorist organization" in the eyes of Nigeria? even the European union has so far refrained from designating Hezbollah as a "terrorist organization",and European officials often hold meetings with Hezbollah officials.german intelligence officials conduct prisoner exchanges between Hezbollah and Israel.hezbollah has MPs in the Lebanese parliament and ministers in the government,and represents the Shia Muslim community,which is the largest single religious community in Lebanon making over 40% of the total population.


as usual in Israel designed plots,the stories are either not consistent or contradictory.there is an attempt to link Shia Lebanese to Salafist/Wahhabi Boko haram.(note the west is supporting Wahhabi/salafist terrorists in Syria).and there is an attempt to link them for "ties" with Hezbollah "plotting" against Israeli and western targets.which claim are we going to believe? and the most sad,annoying and ignorant part is when Nigerian officials dramatize when the word "Hezbollah" is mentioned,without regarding the above stated facts.

Israel and the US should stop taking Nigeria as a field to execute their plots against their own enemies because our president is not a hausa man;a hausa man as president is known for being tough against western dictates .in Nigeria we live peacefully and embrace all foreigners and treat all strangers kindly.

What I know is that Nigerians should open their eyes next election GEJ or noGEJ. Come next election Nigeria should watch out the leaders that want to turn this country to
Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Syria, palestine, Iraque, Iran Egypt, Lybia, Tunisia the list is endless . I have never seen any Muslim world that has peace with itself. If not for the minority
People and women and children, what is my business in with those blood suckers in the north?

Check any where in the world that has no peace, and you will see that it's a Muslim dominated country. It's good you people are destroying your people and and your land.
We can help you destroy the north if you need more help. GEJ should liberate this people to have their own country. That is what they want. The forced marriage is not working
And can never work.

The Lebanese community in Nigeria has a longstanding history of dark and illegal business in Nigeria (illegal trade, drug smugling, etc, ). I think it's fundamentally important to cross-examine comprehensively Lebanese activities in the country. The Lebaneses get an official job to cover up dubious activities. Time is ripe to shed light on them before Nigeria finds itself unknowingly and unwillingly sponsoring terrorist activities and becomes disgraced internationally.

For me, I have long learned to take anything coming from authority (especially Nigerian "authorities"!) with a pinch of salt. That is the only way I keep my sanity. A little skepticism will do us a whale of good in our public space.
For one I have seen those pictures and I wonder what a foreign "terrorist" group would be doing with all those rusted ordinance that is at best suited for a light infantry outfit. I would have felt less sceptical if those people were found with more sophisticated arms more suited to a tiny terrorist cell such as RPGs, shoulder fired missiles, IEDs. Or maybe this is not just a tiny cell of foreign terrorists but the armoury of a nascent mass milita that has been uncovered, then we need to see where the investigation uncovers recruiting and training assets of this group.
Secondly, I would be curious to know what hezbollah is doing being very active in a theater so far from its area of interest. Even a cursory knwledge of this group will show that (like the hamas in palestine)hezbollah is primarily and overwhelmingly focused on local lebanese issues and matters within the immediate neighbourhood. This group came into being specifically to fight the isreali invasion and occupation of southern lebanon in the early 80s and has since remained a player in the byzantine politics of that tragic nation.
We need to ponder some questions on this matter - could it be possible that those guys arrested are "hezbollah" just because they are lebanese? Is it possible that these guys are just equal-opportunity merchants and middlemen of light infantry weaponry which has developed a major market in nigeria? (Remember the niger-delta weapons purchase from some army men in kaduna?). Lets not lose sight of the fact that the Lebanese have been known to be not very scrupulous in the business dealings they dabble into their philosophy seeming to be "if the price is right.
We just need to ask the hard questions is all I am saying.
Even more important and very troubling is that if a cell of a "foreign terrorist" organization" has been found as claimed in this story actively stockpiling weapons and apparently recruiting in Nigeria, such discovery should send shockwaves through Nigerian officaldom. Such discovery should be well beyond the paygrade of a military JTF and its spokesman and we should be hearing from the President, the national security adviser and the leadership of the National assembly on the extent of this development and government's plans to deal with it.

You should see the weapons used by rebels in Syria and some used in Libya how rusted they are or were. Many use solvent solution to clean the rust weapons just to make them work at all. You don't know what those rusted munitions are capable of, my friend.

I think it was Alan Derbowitz that said something to this effect - If you have the law on your side pound it into the table; if you have the facts on your side pound into into the table; if you have neither the law nor the facts on your side, pound the table into the ground!

My brother, my refernce to the state of those weapons does not have even a tangenital relation to the thrust of my argument. Could it be you picked on the word "rusted" because you could not refute my argument or is it just that maybe either you or I do not belong in this forum?

Intelligent Nigerians common let's be realistic,if you understand middle east politics well enough,why will hezbollah be stockpiling weapons in Kano?makes no sense.Don't even try to link boko haram and hezbollah because they are distinctly different and have different ideologies,Hezbollah receives sophisticated weapons from Iran and Syria,why will they be keeping small number of weapons in Kano,Yes tis weapons are nothing compared to what they have the story should say lebanese businessmen are selling weapons to boko haram,not all lebanese are Shia muslims,can't imagine a Shia organisation like Hezbollah whose main objective is to destroy israel getting involved wit boko haram(Sunni vs Shia)
Have you been watching ur news lately?
Maybe Federal Govt wants to garner international attention hence trying to link hezbollah with local nigerian disputes.

Lets not lose sight of the fact that the Lebanese have been known to be not very scrupulous in the business dealings they dabble into their philosophy seeming to be "if the price is right.
We just need to ask the hard questions is all I am saying.
Even more important and very troubling is that if a cell of a "foreign terrorist" organization" has been found as claimed in this story actively stockpiling weapons and apparently recruiting in Nigeria, such discovery should send shockwaves through Nigerian officaldom. Such discovery should be well beyond the paygrade of a military JTF and its spokesman and we should be hearing from the President, the national security adviser and the leadership of the National assembly on the extent of this development and government's plans to deal with it.
Just saying!!
I would have challenged you on this issue but when I checked your profile, I realised you just became a member just last week. I now realised you are using a Igbo moniker to confuse Nigerians. You are a Muslim Arab no doubt about it. Please take your story to your people. We know you guys better. You are such a dimwit/ slowpoke. A defender of evil. You all will soon be exposed. I am very sure you are the same person as Onyeocha, if you like register in many names we can spot you.
