Rab3a, is a hand gesture and a sign that first appeared in late August 2013, thought to be originated from Turkey[1] and used in social media and protest marches in Egypt. It is used by the Muslim Brotherhood and its supporters in Egypt in the wake of the overthrow of Mohamed Morsi, which occurred after anti-government protests calling for his removal.[2] On July 9, 2014, a Brotherhood-affiliated organization declared August 14, the day when the sit-ins were dispersed, "World Rabia Day," in an attempt to garner support across numerous countries.[3]

The sign is named after the Rabaa al-Adawiya Square in Nasr City, Cairo Governorate, which surrounds the Rabaa al-Adawiya Mosque, where a sit-in was held by the Muslim Brotherhood and its supporters to celebrate the one-year anniversary of Morsi's inauguration. The sit-in lasted for about forty days before it was dispersed by security forces, leading to clashes that resulted in 638 deaths, of which 43 were police officers.

Supporters state that the gesture is used to express solidarity with what they call "the thousands wounded, killed and burnt by the Egyptian Army" during the dispersal of their sit-in. The origin of the sign is unknown.[4][5]

Critics of the Muslim Brotherhood and the Morsi Government allege that the sign implies indirect support for terrorism, due to the sign's use being mostly limited to persons supportive of the Brotherhood, which has been designated a terrorist organization by Egypt. On the other hand, supporters of the Brotherhood, whether inside or outside Egypt, believe the gesture represents freedom and persistence. They also deny any association with terrorism.[5][6]

Egyptian and non-Egyptian politicians, mostly supportive of the Muslim Brotherhood, are regularly seen making the Rabia gesture, which is identical to one common gesture for the number four. Among these politicians is Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan

Hmm

This one is an unfortunate child.

you mean your faro

Hmmm.... So so unfortunate.

I think Bubu needs to explain what he means by his 'own' hand gestures.

Could he be showing solidarity for a terrorist group?

Lots of questions begging for answers.

That gesture could mean anything to the Egyptians, the Israelites or anybody anywhere in the world.

But in Nigeria and under this context, it means nothing other than 4 years + 4 years = 8 years

Whoever interpreted it to mean anything else may just be trying to be mischievous.

even you this armed robber they talk..somebody get me petrol to burn this zombie

Days after being sworn in as President the first thing Buhari will do was to make sure he was presented with the Jihad black standard flag right in the state house signifying the beginning of claiming Nigeria for Islam ..Next thing he he did was make the Army present a him the Boko haram flag right in state house which he flew there infront of the world and respectfully folded it for safe keeping instead of burning a move probably signifying Boko haram victory of having a supporter in Abuja and now at the biggest legislative event of the year this Buhari goes on to flash Islamic brotherhood four fingers of defiance right in the hollowed chambers

I guess the NASS members including the Christians who gave him back the sign are moslem brotherhood members

What ignorant nonsense, so the Muslim Brother have exclusive right to the 4 finger gesture; no other person can use it to express themselves without being part of the Brotherhood.

Ok, perhaps you can also translate this one.

Yes indeed, I thought as much.

I am taken aback by your prompt use of harsh words to express your flow of thoughts and I will like to say such a behavior that you have displayed is very commonly associated with OCDs and Depression. I will strongly advise that you check in to a clinic early now.

Fyi, I no be Osu abi Ipob. Omo Yoruba ni mi. Since you seem to think Ipob are the only ones feeling the pangs of this harsh economic weather.

4*4 is just a campaign strategy, it means he is going to stay for 4more years

Op, anybody deceiving you that you will make heaven will not make heaven

You see your life. You see what politics have turned people into.

Ipob is the problem now not Buhari's failed policies.

Ore, the earlier we begin to task our rulers and not descend to banter each other along ethnic divide the better for us.
