calaway:
oh shut up!!!! u are all the the same telling lies to yourselves all the time. First off the entire nigeria has it own fair share of poverty and unemployment, this is no excuse for the Hausa north to kill southerner/christians.
then Benue state used to be part of the North but now they want to be identified as middlebelt (not the other way round).
Fanatism/extemism does not exist in chritainity.
The desire to kill directly or indirectly is inherent in your people. it has nothing to do with education, povrty etc. all you need is an excuse to kill even strangers. eg. sponsors of bokoharam and the very rich and british educated Farouk Adulmutallab (underwaer bomber who father spearheaded islamic banking in Nigeria)

I lived next to a mosque for over four years in lagos. I know what they preach in the mosque. They insult jews all day long. They keep preaching that boko haram is not the problem. They say America and Israel is behind the bombing. They never condemn Boko Aram or any other act of terrorism around the world. If they can be that way in Lagos, then I can tell you they are far worse in the North. Have you not noticed that every major attck on Christians start after friday jumat service? Please spare us the stories. Silence means consent. I don't hear general condemnation coming from muslims. Not buhari, not tinubu, ibb, gusau, and so on. So don't tell me stories. And please, there are no christian suicide bombers. You aint fooling anyone with that bile. It is a terrible sin to take your life as a christian.

T9ksy:


Abegi Mark, tell dem make dem hia!

Most of these suicide bombers cannot even handle one yeye single mother [/b]let alone [b]17 never-yet-been-plucked, virgins.

lacasa: Well, david mark has given his opinion on the matter anϑ i wld say he has chosen τ̅o take the easy way, instead of the real hard truth abt boko-haram.

if he thinks bokoharam is purely a religious issue then, i think our senate president is not being true τ̅o himself anϑ Nigerians as a whole.

what fuels violence the fastest in any society is first of all "Poverty anϑ Unemployment". Without this, i doubt even if there were radical preachers anϑ financial sponsors for committing suicide bombings, it wldnt be †ђªt easy to find the people τ̅o carry these bombs anϑ commit suicide bombimgs.

if tђere wasn't an alarming rate of poverty anϑ unemployment in Nigeria; the north in this case, i dnt think religious fanatists wld be our problem.

Let's not forget, "an idle mind they say is the devil's workshop".

The Senate president is from Benue state which falls under the Northern region (former middle-belt) anϑ part anϑ parcel of the Northern Political Elites.

What i can deduce from his statement is †ђªt if he goes with the reality †ђªt the level of poverty anϑ worrying levels of unemployment in the region is as a failure of good leadership from the same people such as himself who ave been at the top echelon of power, during the IBB regime where he was a governor to a minister of communication anϑ now presently the Senate President.

He has used this stance τ̅o shy away from the fact that if he goes with the fUll "reality" of the situation, it wld be a confession of incompetence anϑ bad leadership on his part as a top northern leader anϑ elite for well over 20 years.

Though, i agree †ђªt the religious leaders need τ̅o be checkmatd on the kind of teachings anϑ radical views †ђªt can give rise τ̅o fanatism in both Islam anϑ Christianity, but the most important anϑ urgent problem is the problem of "Poverty anϑ Education".

i just don't see Ђδω an educated man †ђªt has something doing striving τ̅o develop himself anϑ upgrade hos social standing anϑ †ђªt of his family as we all aspire τ̅o, will fall victim τ̅o radical teachings and go with a bomb τ̅o waste his life anϑ others after enduring the hassles of educating anϑ empowering himself for years, be him a muslim or a xtian.

I for one can't fathom Ђδω.

lagerwhenindoubt: Senator David Mark. I only need to mention your name once because you are obviously a buffoon with the brain of a tadpole in muddy waters.
Poverty (economic disenfranchisement) is a breeding ground for Religious Fundamentalism. It is a Statistical Fact that the Youth and Poverty is a potent formula for Social/Religious Conflict. What you have are millions of illiterate, poor and easily agitated youths whose idle minds have been hijacked for the purpose of Political/Economic Sabotage.

Each Senator understands the Political play that is on-going otherwise A State of Emergency should have been declared in states where Boko-Haram have waged suicide bomb-attacks. What happened to Joshua Dariye when the Jos attacks put his administration in bad light.

It is a wonder how you passed through the Nigerian Army where Discipline in Thoughts, Words and Actions are deeply ingrained in each Soldier's mind. While you are a brilliant example of stellar Incompetence, Corruption and years of Mindless Buffoonish Public statements e.g "Cellphones are not meant for the poor". It will be wise (just this once) to inform the public
1: Why Northern Governors can only Condemn (in very soft terms) and not take Action where Nigerians are routinely murdered in broad daylight.
2: Why their states hosts Boko-Haram members in numbers and have been funded by State Revenue and Public Officers (from the North) to continue their attacks.
3: Why High-ranking BH members are arrested, allowed to escape and re-arrested with no explanation on how,why this happens.
4: Why arrested BH members are not prosecuted for Murder but are released to Islamic Clerics for Rehabilitation into Society (or Release into Society to continue killing)

It is not your fault,Nigerians are always fond of taking Human Rights, Freedom and Democracy for granted, how else will a half-wit baboon like yourself seat and make decisions on-behalf of 150 million Nigerians

One more thing.. David Buffoon [b]it is 72 Virgins not 17 [/b]and you should be careful how you make references to the Koran and Hadith, I think you are poking fun at ISLAM not just Boko-Haram

curtain: The bombers or jihadist neva said dey needed money or are hungry, they hv enuf 2 buy guns, cars and pay their bombers family, wat has poverty 2 do wit these, they claimed they wer fighting the course of Allah and dnt nid money or amnesty dey simply wnt GEJ 2 accept islam, i wonda y myopics kip yappin abt poverty. ar u tryin 2 incite boko haram as hungry men? I dint hear of organised suicide bombing in oda african countries whose economy are below naijas, left 4 me i tink dos behind it wer overfed.

Akanbi_edu: Mark is a FOOL, an ambitious one.

binger: Can this people do anything other than talk...ACTION is what we need in Nigeria not ADDRESS by our leaders and F.G officials.Put an end to this killings for God's sake

fesse:
“I think it is time we educate the suicide bombers in the North that it is a wrong belief that killing innocent people would automatically take you to heaven where they would inherit 17 virgins. Of course it would be an uphill task for one person to handle 17 virgins,” he contended.

He said 77 virgins not 17 and it is an uphill for a person to do that.

curtain: 77 or 72 virgins hahahahaha hilarious, i dont nid any comedian again...basket mouth go and jump in d lagoon.. I can neva stop laughing... Heheheheheee chai.... I guess dey ar indian virgins. Hahahaha.... Heavenly pucies.....

To be frank i have been waiting for Ndu_chuks or any other Arewa clown. . to come and clarify this issue for us.

Is it 17, 72 or 77 virgins that awaits them in the Boko haram paradise?

I tell you, real virgins are hard to find these days on earth

Perhaps the paradise virgins will be magically conjured from thin air?

Well we await Ndu_chuks presence to confuse, convince us more. .

papa giddy: well, he should have asked for the destruction of ALL quran in nigeria. That is what is inciting the Muslims to burn down churches and kill Christian. can u imagine 72 virgins to one man? how is that possible in heaven?? muslims are deceived by that uesless prophet called mohammed !!!!!!
