If true, this is sad.

Nigerians no longer trust each other and instead of it being usual hidden in secret it is out in the open. The governmnt have not reacted properly or assessed the cross roads Nigeria is at.

NYSC should have been suspended. Christians should not be sent on NYSC to the North and vice versa......for a period it should be shelved.

I must say though, at least the lives of Muslims are not being threatened, and I don't see any Igbo killing a muslim in SE. They wont get the support of the wider community.

People have to remember that Igbos (and others) have been killed in the north, whether on NYSC or not for years. These people are scared that they will have nowhere to pack up and go to, should BH set up camp in or near SE. This does not make it right, but they are further along in their story with religious killings, than other tribes in the south.


I must say though, its glaring (unfortunately) that when we have in the past heard of Igbos being KILLED in the north, posters on NL have not much sympathy for them and just say they should leave, because they brought it on themselves for going there.


The gov need to approach this in a way not to harass innocent people, muslim or not.

Just because we have BH, it does not mean there are no genuine Muslims. Lets not forget, innocent Muslims are now being killed in their own cities and regions. People in Abia State, although I understand your fear, this is the time to really show your Christianity and faith.

Innocent Muslims need to feel welcomed and at home in SE. Of course BH members should be dealt with, but we cant justify ill-treatment or harassment of another INNOCENT human being.


If the reactions of governments in the north, was better when Igbos, NYSC and other Christians were being killed, or when BH was taking root many years ago, I doubt we would be seeing what we are seeing now.


Nigerians have many questions to answer, as a nation and individuals. Especially as this crossroads is revealing some deep biases that up until now we were able to carry along......that is on ALL "sides".


This is a sad time in Nigeria's history.

Good comment from a nonentity like you. My advice to muslim corps members; get yourself armed. God has stopped sending down angels to fight for men, ask christians and they will tell you God has been watching while several christians are being massacred.
they should get themselves armed?.? Really ? U want to get them killed for sure huh?

zeelo2014: The same way Christians are harassed in the Core North. I suffered same when I served.
Or the case of Eucharia Remmy a female corper in Yobe (pictured below),killed for distributing rhapsody of realities, a christian tract from Christ Embassy, she was shot point blank by Muslims. The truth is Muslims know how to cry to high heavens when they are been trampled on but look the other way when their brethren are killing Christians.

Wow!!! So we should now descend into childish tit for tat? Haven't you heard What did this innocent Muslims in Abia state do to you? Where they amongst the same people who "harassed" you? Stop lumping who have nothing in common but a shared religion into the same category. How would you like it if someone stereotype you just like that?

It is right for the residents of Abia, Imo and Enugu to be wary of 'strangers'. It is also right for the residents of Chibok to be wary of 'strangers'. The Executive President of Nigeria must declare that people must carry their ID cards at all times. Then he must also instruct the Police and Army to implement a 'SUS' law. This law will mean that Police or 'law enforcements' can stop and search anyone who acts suspiciously at any time. These are dangerous times to be a resident Nigerian. It is pointless and very wrong for the Corpers to pretend that they are unaware of the movement of 'terrorists' in our midst. Wish you a safe sojourn wherever and whenever you live your place of abode. If you do not like it, then stay put where you are and refuse to serve in other location. It is not by force after all

So, you have started urinating in you pants. Please tell the SSS and the army to go to North-East where boko-haram is using them for suya. Bring your head here and see if it will be on your neck the next minute.

Dem dey write kidnapper for face? Double standard is what will kill people like you. Your catholic sisters wear a veil that is similar to the hijab but you criticise Muslim sisters who wear the hijab. Jewish men keep their beard but you criticise Muslim men who do so. I can't count the number of musical artistes that are not Muslims but who grow a beard. Some of you copy them but criticise Muslims who are following Islamic laws.

If you let the stupid politicians and media feed you with lies, you have yourself to blame. The media will associate religion with anything a Muslim does but will never do the same for a Christian. There's good and evil on every side.

If I come to you and preach to you about Islam and you don't accept there's no fight therein. As long as you respect my beliefs and I respect yours there's no wahala. But never harass me physically regarding my beliefs. Verbally, I might handle properly.

tbaba1234:

That is untrue. No where are christians arrested for walking around christian.

No basis for comparison
Christians have been butchered in the north since independence. Stop talking trash. Denial will worsen the situation.
What happened in Abia state is wrong but denying the events in northern Nigeria is perhaps unwittingly supporting or at least encouraging the carnage that's been going on in the north for decades. Boko haram is jut another chapter in the slaughter o Christians in the north. Just that this chapter has apparently gone beyond control, and they also slaughtered Muslims as well.
But don't insult our intelligence. I once went to Bauchi in the early 90s, it was my first time in the "core" north, and my last. I saw burnt churches all over the city. Yet to be rebuilt. I saw with my own eyes. So don't tell me xtians have never been harassed in the north

I do not blame anyone who suspects any Muslim as a boko member. we Christians have suffered so much in the hands of this Muslims. even before the boko stuff they were killing Christians just like I drink water. well, to me it's time NYSC is scrapped or each member serves in his/her geopolitical zone. sorry for those of you who may not be boko members but the truth is, there is no standard or criteria to know boko man or woman. so we're just being carefully, anybody can buy and wear NYSC kits. if they can disguise in military uniforms, what is NYSC kit?

Yeah, like, killing Christians undecided . . ooops my bad, you've been doing that already.

Anyways, this is the time to put heads together and figure out how to go about this. This profiling is based on fear, not hatred. Fear and ignorance is a deadly combo. As I dey now, if I'm in Nigeria and a northern Muslim whom I don't know is by my side, I will not be comfortable. I won't harrass him though, but I will hurry and get out of there. This is sad but it's the cold hard truth.
Biko haram had destroyed the image of Muslims in northern Nigeria and it's only natural for people to be scared. As unfortunate as it may be
