Why Iran´s Threat On Zazaky Should Be Viewed From The Perspective Of Sovereignty by vedaxcool(m): 5:01pm On Jan 05, 2016
A country filled with self loathing quislings and fifth columnists is afflicted with a malignant cancerous tumour

The Sub-Human Specie
The so called Iran threat has been hyped by the same people who rather than move on after the elections have preferred creating the illusion of imminent destruction of Nigeria through their celebration and elevation of anti-Nigeria forces and continued wallowing in a very self deprecating tunes of displeasure which is only eagerly pleased by death of Nigerians. These quislings celebrate death and destruction of Nigeria by any and every evil minded group of people. They suffer the most nefarious form of duplicity, their enemies of yesterday became their friends of today, their justified murders of yesterday became their accidental killings of today, their heros of yesterday became their object of scorn today, let's not make this thread about this duplicitous elements with no moral, virtue or the capacity for sensible critical self - assessment. I have read of a Gorilla who carried her dead young for 7 days trying hard to revive it back to life, this is an animal, humans should know better. Rather these coalition of vicious trolls have preferred celebrating death and destruction. They promote fear and hopelessness every possible way, all because of a damn election. They leave little wonder between the Gorilla and these humans who seem to be behave more human.

Zazaky and Nigeria

In the hearts of those who blocked the road on the day the army and IMN clashed they wished they never had contemplated even taking a walk on that day talk more of blocking the COAS from passage. The incident is murky, each side holding on to their account of the story. But we know from the story we have read that zazaky is in custody of the govt and there are indications that he would be charged to court in due time, there remain an issue on why the govt. has continued to keep him in custody without any charge.

Let's be clear it is within the rights of the Nigerian govt to investigate, prosecute and charge any individual for any breach of the law. The state govt. has gone further and even set up a panel of inquiry to unearth what really happened. Somehow people have labored hard to conflate clashes between the Army and IMN to Sunni/ Shiite battle about to open shop in Nigeria. Such claims are laughable and and shows an extreme appetite to muddle every issue into narrow minded narratives. Are we being besieged by anarchist who seek to foment fear and confusion? Unfortunately, opening threads on Nairaland doesn't make this unstable individuals any closer to peace of mind.

Iran's Threat


While Iran has not made any concrete actionable threat, it has indeed continued warning and warning over the matter of Zazzaky matter. Some lily livered trolls are shouting Iran is planning a war in Nigeria? On internet fighting war is fun, easy and affordable, but in reality war is straining, bloody, costly and involves serious planning. How Iran will wage war against Iran because of Zazzaky once again shows the unseriousness of this self appointed dooms day prophets. Iran is not in any position to wage war on Nigeria, because it would involve deploying troops far beyond is bother who will probably have no immediate land bother to stage their invasion. So we know the prospect of a war between Nigeria and Iran is a distant impossible event that occurs only in the mind of unstable unemployed alcoholics. Secondly Iran despite its military strengths would be going against international convention to do such which will earn it not only sanction but the scorn of all African states and isolate them further. So this rules out war. The other weapon in Iran's kit is proxy battle, Iran has a history of using proxy to wage war instead of fighting the wars themselves. Does Iran have any military proxy in Nigeria capable of battling Nigeria? Well, IMN seems to be the proxy Iran was betting to be its foot soldiers in Nigeria, but this seems open to debate though, some claim Iran was planning to setup another proxy modeled from Hezbollah others say IMN while we await the white paper and formal charges presented by the govt. To the best of our knowledge Iran has no proxy capable of posing any military challenge to Nigeria. What does that leaves us with, assassinations? sanctions and/or noise making? All these becomes merely a academic speculations since Nigeria is yet to take any actions against Zazzaky and would only take such action at due judicial process.

What Should Nigeria Do

We need to restate that we are a sovereign nation with our laws and processes. There are certain actions capable of eroding our sovereignty in the eyes of other nations, undermining national cohesion and setting a dangerous precedent. Like Buratai turning around because some miscreants blocked his road, Nigeria taking the so called Iranian threats to affect its decision will clearly be pandering to the whims of an unelected directives from the sponsors of IMN, this is not only unacceptable but will reduce us to being a banana republic that cannot enforce its laws within its own territory because of a threat from another country. First Iran clearly sponsors the IMN, why should we allow a sponsor of an individual being accused on serious offenses dictate to us as a nation what we can do, who we can do it to and when we should do it? No sane nation will allow the fear of other nation dictate how it upholds the laws of its land. Why would this anarchist who excel at celebrating death tremor at the mere mention of Iran? If Nigeria backs down on upholding its sovereignty on this matter what will tomorrow hold? It will amount to setting a precedents for handling future events? Or what if a terror organization warns us on terrorism and makes demands unacceptable to us? Naturally the corrupt and its supporters will focus on elevating corrupt solution to every matter. Nigeria must stay the course follow the due process of law and ignore every vituperation by either Iran or the anarchists whose prayer seems to be Nigeria should collapse tomorrow. We are not a nation of cowards, fith columnist, thieves and fearful criminals, but a sovereign nation built on robust democracy with courageous men and women. Taking Iran's threat against Nigeria above our sovereignty is like a taking the threat of a fool who threatens to drain oceans with a teaspoon seriously.

Iran may be stronger than us militarily but it doesn't mean we are afraid of them. Some few people in a city cannot block a fedreal road and say that they will not leave until when their oga mr Zakzaky tells them to do so. They should atleast condemn their actions too na.

Are you actually losing sleep over the Iranians??

Abeg close your eyes and sleep jare....

Do you know how many of their own citizens they behead every year?? You can see how dem shit for church abi mosalasi with the mumuish firebombing of Saudi embassy. Even the UN security council has condemned it in very strong terms with an admonition to ensure protection of embassies in their land. Now they're vowing not to allow such happen again as their Arab brothers have turned on them because of too much busybody.

Babangida dealt with Zakzaky, Abacha did, GEJ did and the heavens didn't fall. Na Buhari go come shake?

Even though I believe the army action was excessive, Iran CAN DO NOTHING about it. Its our internal affair. If e pain dem too much, they should grant citizenship to Zakzaky and all his followers so they can move to Iran plus the children of anger who have suddenly turned Shiites and Iranian lovers out of hatred for PMB and disappointment at GEJ loss.

Buhari has shown time and again that he lacked the paper,mental and cutting edge qualifications necessary for leadership in a country as Nigeria.

How did a president authorise the massacre of over 1000 of it's citizens for blocking a road? perhaps, he thought this is Nigeria biafra war.

I did a study on IMN and it appears this sect would be far worse than Boko Haram if not heavily curtailed.

Iran's proxy pattern cannot be replicated in Nigeria is too complex for Iranian hegemony.

The Nigerian government however should stick to it's committment for a thorough,fair and just system in trial of El Zakzaky.I believe beyond reasonable doubt the law will take it's place.
