Why Are Nigerians Not Protesting Against The Killing Of Innocents By Boko Haram? by Nchara: 8:15pm On Jan 07, 2012
Why are Nigerians not protesting against the killing of innocent people by islamic terrorists in the name of Boko Haram?

I am at a loss here. Is it that the incessant gruesome loss of lives don't matter much to Nigerians?

Which is more important between a gallon of fuel and a human life?
Re: Why Are Nigerians Not Protesting Against The Killing Of Innocents By Boko Haram? by efisher(m): 8:29pm On Jan 07, 2012
Sadly, a litre of fuel seems to have more value to Nigerians than the life of a fellow Nigerian.

Other things people are protesting for because it was a build up of anger since 1970 and this was the opportunity for a revolution are

1. protest against corruption and the arrest of these people

2. protest against boko haram and killing of Christians/igbos

3. protest against the NEGLIGENT of the Niger-delta

Yes it is good to see it like that.

Boko haram kill your people and you have not protested ? What sort of slavish mentality is that ?

Why not protest against Igbos killed then maybe just maybe the people in the country would protest alone side you instead of sitting in the SE making fun of Nigerians protesting as if you are better off.

Look, people would only protest to what is affecting them and who not start a protest for others fact !!!

If you people are comfortable about boko haram well the whole country is fed up. [size=13pt]There is protest against boko haram alongside this because this is our opportunity. It is high time people that using their brain and stop discouraging others fight for their rights if you people don't know yours.[/size] Yesterday, Boko haram kill people indiscriminately yet you are here talking about rubbish instead of asking ethical question like

"Why are our security forces allowing boko haram to kill us ?"

"Do we have security at all in Nigeria ?"

if yes, " Why are they not protecting me ?"

@OP
I think we r protesting against all, which is epitomed by corruption and carelessness in govt, this is evidenced by the lack of will or outright abdjugation of responsibility by govt to protect it's citizens within their own Borders.

And also the Kano understanding between Christians and Muslims at protest site to protect each other was a clear sign to BH or whoever they really are that they are not 'welcomed'.

Someone on this thread reeks of Nomadic Opportunism, and he hops from thread to thread leaving confusion in his trail in a bid to manipulate and generally cause disunity amongst Southerners.

If I had the power, I would force a funnel down his throat and force him to drink some Crude Oil.

Bingo! Apparently, up till a few months ago Boko Haram did not exist!
Re: Why Are Nigerians Not Protesting Against The Killing Of Innocents By Boko Haram? by muyoto: 9:41pm On Jan 07, 2012
I think it has to with the nature of what is being protested about.

in the case of fuel subsidy wahala, there is a tangible, common enemy: the Nigerian government. the protesters of different ethnicities and religion were unanimous in their repudiation of the policy.

in the case of BH, it probably is not so straightforward, especially when viewed against the suspicion in some quarters that some clerics have not been vocal enough in denouncing the sect. furthermore, who or what will the protest be about? lack of security by the government? Anger against sect? anger against the wanton slaughter of Nigerians?

but i suppose mai suya has said it all. the current protest could be seen as one that encompasses the the failure of government to live up its primary responsibility, the security and welfare of its citizens.
Re: Why Are Nigerians Not Protesting Against The Killing Of Innocents By Boko Haram? by Nobody: 9:45pm On Jan 07, 2012
maybe its because it doesnt affect them personally. a bomb in mubi? it sounds so distant.
Re: Why Are Nigerians Not Protesting Against The Killing Of Innocents By Boko Haram? by musiwa43: 10:00pm On Jan 07, 2012
let me put it this way. if any southerner still have his wife and children still living in the north. that southerner at this point is a fool. if anyone can not learn from killing of other people. that person cant learn anything.

If Jonathan Goodluck assure you to remain. Then you are a big fool. Look Jonathan Goodluck have army, police , airforce guiding him. So he can remain there. But common southerners dont have that. Look at the satellite pictures,  There is noway. Northerners will agree. No way. And if you know nigeria history very well. You as a southerner, will be a big fool to leave your family in the north.

Northerners will continue to kill you southerners living in the north until they get their wish which is to separate.

Re: Why Are Nigerians Not Protesting Against The Killing Of Innocents By Boko Haram? by musiwa43: 10:05pm On Jan 07, 2012
I will advice fellow southerners to go back to the south and start building their life again. Noman can guarantee your life. Jonathan Goodluck can not bring back your wife, children and husband. Stop listen to him. Go back to the south , Your life is more important .

Thanks but you have not answered my question
Why are Nigerians (southerners, Igbos, Yorubas, Niger Deltans, northern christians, moderate northern muslims, muslims in general, christians, pagans, whareva) not out on the streets protesting the increasing killings of innocent human beings?
Re: Why Are Nigerians Not Protesting Against The Killing Of Innocents By Boko Haram? by BIGERBOY1: 10:46pm On Jan 07, 2012
@OP of al posts here it's only musiwa post u saw, which reinforces ur divisive intent.

Am beginning to doubt the intent of this thread.

Permit me to answer ur question pls.
The killings by boko haram is suppose to be mainly an affair of our security agencies and Gej to handle.
Like oil resource "marginalisation", the people who r worse hit (according to beaf and SS/SE apologists) by BH are not protesting for it probably cos they are too enlightened for such. Dön't u think the westerners and northerners protesting will amount to an attempt to unsit a presidemt the ss/se are firmly behind?

Where is your proof that Igbos are not protesting the oil subsidy
All those Igbos in Lagos, Kano, London and US protest are from the moon, right? Some of you guys are so shallow-brained that it is difficult discussing with you.
Re: Why Are Nigerians Not Protesting Against The Killing Of Innocents By Boko Haram? by mensdept: 5:52am On Jan 08, 2012
Are southerners serious? They bring back the sub for gas and yet no good hospitals, schools, roads, airlines, etc. How I wish NATO would stop giving Nigerians Visa to go to better countries, and putting heavy taxes on cars and cloths imported from abroad. How I wish Nato countries would not take/admit any stinking Nigerian politician in their hospitals or universities so that they will suffer the same thing everyone else is suffering from.

Total revolution is needed.

u dont av to call pple names if u cant put up a good arguement, there is a thread in support of my comment which is titled to some thing like "Why are some states protesting petrol subsidy removal when the oil producing states are not".
U guys called those expressing their anger on subsidy removal "parasites" and "illiterates i.e not enlightened enough" don't u think their protest on security issues will send out the signal that they are the worse hit regions in BH crisis ? ? ?
If the igbos are pained let them turn to Gej they voted for massively, he is in charge and not the west/north.those in the ss/se shld come out and voice their their feelings out. Afterall one good turn deserves another.

i like this post, heres what, we should be protesting against inability of government to stop bh and d sending of southern youth corpers, police officers and federal workers to the north.

Sheer selfishness. When it does not directly affect us, all is well. Now that it pj he's our pocket, we suddenly jump out of the streets. That is rubbish. I can't be a party to that. Let's learn to be patriotic.
Re: Why Are Nigerians Not Protesting Against The Killing Of Innocents By Boko Haram? by Nobody: 12:44pm On Jan 08, 2012
Its a shame. We should have protested the boko haram killings and the callous allowances of political office holders instead
