Why No Mass Protest March Against Boko Haram In Northern Nigeria? by AmunRaOlodumare: 5:48pm On Mar 01, 2015 |
I was reading this news wire: Boko Haram: Thousands march in Cameroon to protest against the Islamist terror movement http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/africa/boko-haram-thousands-march-in-cameroon-to-protest-against-the-islamist-terror-movement-10077630.html Why is there no such mass protest march against Boko Haram in the muslim North of Nigeria? That is exactly the region where those type of march would have more symbolic value and social impact. It would be a big 'NO' to any kind of muslim extremism by the muslim populations (and others) in northern Nigerians, the region most affected by the atrocities and susceptible to be recruited by the Boko Haram islamists. If they have been protests against Boko Haram in the north, I'm sorry, please post some links. BTW I know most people in the North are against Boko Haram (they are crazy murderers), here I'm talking about a public display of rejection of Boko Haram and its values (or lack thereof). A show of solidarity. Sending a strong message. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Because, An Attack To Boko Haram Is An Attack To The North" as 1 cattle rearer made us to understand. So, from my own perspective; they are mourning for their brothers killed & the ones that will still be killed. But, d funny tin is dat they don't know d killing has just begun 4 Likes |

I would especially like the opinions of people from the north. While they have some sympathizer in the north, often jobless lost souls and criminals looking for a way to make money and a living, I think that most people don't support those crazy Boko Haram murderers. Most of the people they kill are muslims and in the north(east). I don't think it's ok, to depicts all people in the north as Boko Haram sympathizers while in reality it's more logical that most of them would oppose them, being themselves victims from them. 1 Like |

noblezone:Whoa! I can't believe he said that. Thanks for the post, I guess I didn't follow the elections close enough. This is enough for me to put Buhari in the garbage bin even before knowing anything about his program or is past dictatorial history. It's simply unacceptable. 7 Likes 1 Share |

You must be a fool for posting this. In a region Boko haram attack every time, you expect people to go for mass protest? do you want them to be attack? Idiot like you, you can't even think well |

Arch1:That's exactly the type of events we should also see in other locations in the real North (border states for example). The people truly have the power especially in situation like this where Boko Haram needs supports and recruits to survive. It's also a good opportunity to reject clearly extremism and intolerance and make it a social value accepted by society at large. Abuja set a good example. |

BeeBeeOoh:that is what you wanted to believe. You think Nigerians are still dumb? All of a sudden, the Nigerian army that was supposed to have destroyed boko haram started winning. Why were dey just idle before? Don't tell me they have no weapon after billions of dollars they said they used in procurement. Dude, boko haram is a bad script, #the people knows |

OrlandoOwoh: Please do you mean the report was referring to Niger state a state in nigerian or Niger a country north of Nigeria. One thing I know about niger state most especially minna is that is a moderate state but from my experience caution is required. |

I just want to say I hope people don't take this thread as me taking a dig at people in the north (the region most affected by Boko Haram), but really as a good idea to display some social solidarity against Boko Haram, extremism and intolerance. |
