Is Buhari Turning Nigeria To A Sunni Islamic Country? by Nobody: 4:17pm On Dec 15, 2015
Months before his election the social media was swept by a storm of an article claiming there is a sinister plan ochestrated from Suadi Arabia to turn Nigeria into an islamic country.

Then Bokoharam took a new turn, the military started finding it difficult to defeat this salafist group. It became apparent to Goodluck Jonathan than there are many bokoharam sympathisers within the military. To say it simply it is "jihad" and all non-sunni muslims must be destroyed. Christain worhsip houses and shiite mosques became targets. Many villages in the north of Nigeria have been purged of all elements of non-sunni humans. While this ethnic cleansing was going on there was this propaganda flying that the Americans have refused to sell Nigeria weapons. Now it is clear that it was Dasuki that prefer to distribute the money like a santa claus than fight terrorism.

Buhari has literearilly declared war on Shiite muslims and very soon may soon declare war on christians or at least ask for more time to defeat bokoharam so that they can carry out more ethnic cleasing in the name of Islam or their salafist movement.

More worrying is the annoucement today by Saudi Arabia that it has created a "34 islamic nation coalition against terrorism" and Nigeria is one of the countries in this 34-islamic nation coalition. It is becoming clear that in Buhari's mind Nigeria is an islamic country. Nigerians need to be careful with the so called goodwork of fighting corruption while simultaneously islamizing Nigeria. Nigeria should wake up to Buahri's plan to quietly turn Nigeria to another Sunnistan nation. Let us pray that non-sunnis in Nigeria will not suffer like those in Syria under Buhari's watch

If that is so the middle east will be peaceful but Saudi Arabia and Iran did not see it that way nor is Buhari seeing it that way. Just yesterday shiite were attacked and today the killing continues in Kaduna.

Nigerian muslim population is less than 50% and so Nigeria cannot be an Islamic country.

In syria 85% are Arabs but Saudi Arabia is arming sunnis to remove Assad simple because he is not a sunni muslim. That is his only sin.

Op, though I don't fully subscribe to your 'bizarre' postulation, I can't help questioning the rationale behind the use of such maximum force on an unarmed group.

This is simply state terrorism.

Both the Sunni and the Shiite can go to hell all I don't care. We are Muslim and no time for nonsense political group. A good Muslim will understand me as it is in accordance with our Shariah and also Hadith. Both Sunni and Shiite are political carcus which does not care about the Muslim welfare. What has Saudi government did so far to help YEMEN, same thing apply to Iran.

You may be a muslim but Nigeria isn't an islamic nation and should not join a coalition of islamic nations. Sunni and Shiite are muslims just like Catholic and protestants are christians. The fight in the middle east comes dowm to this faction of islam. The shiites are trying to control Yemen and the Sunnis are trying to contro Syria. They often consider eacother group heretic.

Unfortunately there are many islamic sects in Nigeria. In Ibadan some of them even have vigils, choir, dance etc what some muslims call haram. I think they are called nasfat. Your view of islamic teaching automatically categorises you into a sect.

You cannot tell people what to believe. Some believe both in islam and christianity they are thus called chrislam. You can't say enough of islamic sect. People will believe whatever they want to believe and should be allowed their freedom of religion

Because you really don't know what this Shia group is all about, Shia and BH is like al-Qaeda and Isis, same stupid belief only that one is a little more crazy than the other, like BH, Isis and alqeada the Shia practices have nothing to do with Islam but more with power, womanizing, harassment and greed. If only you know about them or live in societies they stay you'd definitely be supporting this crackdown.

There is freedom of association but not a violent group. No one is angry with Sheikh Ibraheem for been a shiite follower but he must follow the rule of law.

You have a valid point but you have to appreciate the fact that Nigeria though not an Islamic state is dealing with Islamic terrorist (or at least they claim to be) and it will be unwise not to be a part of these countries just because it's identified as Islamic, from this coalition I am sure some ease will come in the form of finance, arms or training, at the very least intelligence, you and I both know Nigeria is not now nor will it ever be an Islamic state so if makes these countries happy to call their union on this Islamic to fight Islamic terrorist shouldn't we atleast support the effort?

Shut up!

There is discrimination amongst the Muslims that I know. The sunni, the Shia, the Tebliks.

Sunni don't like the Shia. Shia calls the sunni demons. So don't form unity when we know what's going on.

Op, Buhari for what I know is trying to do the same thing Yahyah Jameh did. But I know it won't work for him. I know he already has enemies the Shia, and other crisis befalling him.

It's clear we already know what's going on.

I have a little knowledge of islam stories. I can tell you what's happening

After the death of Muhammed, they wanted to announce a new caliph. So the rightful caliph was supposed to be Ali, but other caliphs stole the title from him. I think he conquered Persia and made his stronghold persia. And the Shia muslims do not follow what the Sunni teaches. Thus they say Shia are not the same brothers as they are.

This madness they brought in to present day, and is being practised as ancient time stories. Personally the Shia I have seen do not do those as said by the sunni, but the Sunni (religion and politically) always want to rule and thats where they get problems with the Shia.
If you take a closer look at what's happening in Nigeria, you would have an understanding of what I tell you.
That's why They claim Shia are more closer to Christians and at every attack, they kill Christians together with the Shia. Buhari is Sunni, his Fulani Herdsmen are Sunni, so he would keep quiet when they are attacking Shia and extend the killings to Christians. Confused people, confused religion.

"sheikh Zakzaky was a political prisoner for nine years during the 1980s and 1990s, accused by successive military regimes of civil disobedience.
His supporters have been involved in many violent clashes with the state over the decades - 120 of his followers are currently in prison - and political analyst Muhammad Kabir Isa says they do constitute a genuine threat.
Mr Isa, a senior researcher at Ahmadu Bello University, describes the sheikh's movement as "a state within a state".
"I know for one that his outfit embarks on drills, military drills," Mr Isa said."
