Internet video: Muslims must rise up in Nigeria

LAGOS, Nigeria – A video posted on a militant Web site calls for Muslims in Nigeria to use "the sword and the spear" to rise up against Christians in Africa's most populous nation, according to a translation released Tuesday by a U.S. group that monitors militant sites.

The video on the Ansar al-Mujahideen forum, a Web site sympathetic to al-Qaida, comes in the wake of a series of religious massacres and riots in central Nigeria.

The video shows television news footage and graphic images of those killed as a narrator tells viewers "the solution is jihad in the cause of Allah," according to a translation provided by the SITE Intelligence Group.

"Negotiations, dialogues and protests will not stop the advancement of the enemies and their massacres," the narrator says. "Nothing will stop them but the sword and the spear."

The narrator also says the "crusader West" is interested in Nigeria for its abundant oil reserves. He refers to President Umaru Yar'Adua, a Muslim from northern Nigeria, as a "tyrant" who allowed the killing of a sect leader whose group's attacks on police stations and rioting left more than 700 people dead in July.

Nigeria's military ended fighting led by the group, known as Boko Haram, after seizing its leader. The group's name means "Western education is sacrilege" in the local Hausa language. The group's leader was later killed, and the army and police gave differing accounts of his capture that suggested that he may have died while in police custody.

The release of the 10-minute video comes after more than 200 people — mostly Christians — died last week in massacres in villages outside of the central Nigerian city of Jos. More than 300 people — mostly Muslims — died in January during rioting in the same region.

Nigeria, a country of 150 million people, is split almost evenly between Christians in its south and Muslim in its north. However, the nation has yet to see an al-Qaida-inspired terror group take hold inside its borders — despite others beginning to thrive in West Africa.

Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi said nothing would stop Nigeria's ethnic violence except splitting the nation into Muslim and Christian states, Libya's official news agency reported Tuesday. Gadhafi told a group of African student leaders in Tripoli that the violence in Nigeria is a "deep-rooted conflict of a religious nature" that requires a radical solution.

In May 2003, Osama bin Laden purportedly urged Muslims in the country to rise up against one of the "regimes who are slaves of America."

Security forces claimed to break up such a linked terror cell in November 2007. Last year, a 23-year-old Nigerian who later claimed ties to al-Qaida attempted to detonate an explosive abroad a Christmas Day flight headed via Amsterdam to Detroit.

when the battle is set then we will no who is who.

Into two is not enough for nigeria,rather into six parts.nigeria should be divided according to it's geo political regions.ie south south,south east,etc.

He that carry sword must surely die with it. Evil will and must surely slay the wicked. It will never work out for them.

we are ready for the animals. i say again, we are ready. We are prepared. WE will retaliate Jos killings. I am an Igboman and a christain. I MUST avenge the killing of my christian brothers and sisters  in Jos. It is my no 1  Mission.

Armageddon has indeed started.

the "abundant oil resources" here belong to the south NOT the muslim north. We in the south do not mind selling our oil to the West. The muslim north can leave and subsist on al qaeda handouts if they want.

@kcreal

If you are a moslem woe betide you. But, if you are a christian, get prepared. The day of reckoning is at hand.

May God help us.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

If that will end this mad and senseless killing, i am in support.

In the midst of the anarchy and general lawlessness, what has the acting president done? Nothing.
Not even addressing the nation or calling a press conference at least to calm frayed nerves and reassure the public.
Shows his utter contempt for us.
At least we know he is ACTIVELY signing contracts daily at Aso rock.

U Muslim man, just do me a favor-----shut up. Got it.

Jonathan is recognized around the world and have been invited to the White House. How many useless leaders in the North have received such an honor. The Yar'a-die was never recognized or received by anybody. Just live Jonathan alone and let him prosecute the wonderful job he is doing.

As for dividing the country, I am 100% for it. The useless and brainless north can go kill themselves. Idiota mulsims

Muslims in the north will never succumb to the pressure because the oil is oiling their greedy pockets. If before time they had this resources Nigeria by now would be history, Suckers!!

Nigeria leader Goodluck Jonathan dissolves cabinet

Goodluck Jonathan assumed executive powers on 9 February
Nigeria's acting president, Goodluck Jonathan, has dissolved the country's cabinet, government sources say.

Mr Jonathan became acting president in February amid the continuing illness of President Umaru Yar'Adua.

Mr Yar'Adua went to Saudi Arabia for treatment in November last year and, despite returning to Nigeria recently, has not been seen in public.

The cabinet was picked by Mr Yar'Adua and correspondents say Mr Jonathan is now trying to stamp his own authority.

Election candidate

Information Minister Dora Akunyili said after a cabinet meeting: "Today, the acting president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan, dissolved the Federal Executive Council (cabinet).


ANALYSIS

Chris Ewokor, BBC News, Abuja
The move was expected, considering the stories that made the rounds of the newspaper front pages in Nigeria on Wednesday. Some here had been calling for the dissolution of the cabinet, suggesting it had not performed to expectations.
Many here will see this as a major move by the acting president to consolidate his position.

But it is not the first such action. Soon after he became acting president he asserted his authority by swapping ministers - including the minister of justice, who was seen as a close ally of ailing President Yar'Adua.

"He did not give us any reason for the dissolution. Permanent secretaries will take charge of the ministries from tomorrow."

Ms Akunyili said that Mr Jonathan would issue a statement soon on the future make-up of the cabinet.

Mr Jonathan will have to submit the list of new ministers to the National Assembly.

It was only on 9 February that the assembly appointed Mr Jonathan as acting president, allowing him to sign legislation, chair cabinet meetings, reshuffle ministers and release oil funds.

Since he assumed power he has been faced with serious communal violence between Muslim and Christian groups near the city of Jos that has left hundreds dead. On Wednesday, at least 10 people were killed in an attack on a mainly Christian village near Jos.

Armed groups who say they are fighting for a fairer share of oil wealth have also continued their campaign in the Niger Delta.


YAR'ADUA ILLNESS TIMELINE

23 Nov 2009: Goes to hospital in Saudi Arabia
26 Nov: Doctors say he has pericarditis, a heart problem
23 Dec: First court case filed urging him to step down
12 Jan: President gives telephone interview from Saudi Arabia
27 Jan: Cabinet declares president fit
9 Feb: Vice-President Goodluck Jonathan made acting president
24 Feb: Yar'Adua returns
President Yar'Adua was treated in Saudi Arabia for what his doctor described as acute pericarditis, an inflammation of the sac surrounding the heart. There are no details of his current condition.

Amid the continuing uncertainty over Mr Yar'Adua, it was announced on Tuesday that next year's presidential election could be brought forward by three months.

Mr Yar'Adua's term of office expires in May 2011 but he is not expected to stand again.

The ruling People's Democratic Party, to which both Mr Yar'Adua and Mr Jonathan belong, has a policy of alternating between Muslim and Christian presidential candidates, allowing each to serve two four-year terms.

Mr Yar'Adua, a Muslim, was elected in 2007 after Olusegun Obasanjo, a Christian, had ruled for eight years.

The People's Democratic Party this month confirmed that a Muslim would be the candidate next year to continue this policy, ruling out Mr Jonathan, a Christian.

My Brother i feel your Pain

Nigeria the land of honey and good things of life.What Nigerians fails to understand is that the same tactics that has been used all over the world like IRAQ(SUNNI/SHITES DIVIDE AND RULE) is about to take place in Nigeria soon.All the móvies from Hollywood like Avatar ,Wolverine are messages directed to the Nigerian viewers to pass a message that our beloved country MIGHT be attacked in the nearest future just like Iraq,Afghanistan ,Pakistan  etc.All that is needed is to chase AlQeida(Ciada) to Nigeria .FOR YOUR INFORMATION ALQEIDA DOESNT EXIST.ALQEIDA MEANS FOUNDATION  OR CIADA AS IT IS CALLED WHILE TALIBAN MEANS STUDENTS.
while we Nigerians are busy opening our open walls for the lizards to exploit.for your information Hollywood is not about entertainment its about foreign Policy of the Empire nations. Hollywood stems from the same DNA as US foreign policy.The lizards are planning a grand style to reoccupy us just like the colonial days which this time around its will be much worse.Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa anyone  who controls Nigeria and her resources control all Africa.While Nigerians are busy killing themselves all in the name of religion which in ISLAM AND CHRISTIANITY AMOUNTS TO AGGRESSION On BOTH SIDES,ALL THE KILLINGS I HAVE "SEEN SO FAR ARE POLITICALLY MOTIVATED BY YOUR POLITICIANS.THEY MAKE  TWO OPPOSING SIDES AT WAR WITH EACH OTHER(MACHIEVELLI PRINCIPLES) SO YOU ARE BLIND TO NOTICE THEIR ATROCITIES OF SELLING OFF YOUR FATHERLAND ,MASSIVE BETRAYAL OF THE COUNTRY  IS GOING ON IN THE COUNTRY DAY IN DAY OUT  ,CHINA IS BUYING FERTILE FARMLANDS ALL OVER AFRICA WHILE WE NIGERIANS ARE BUSY FILLING OUR MINDS WITH HATRED AND TRIBALISM  AGAINST EACH OTHER.OUR SLAVE MASTERS CAN RETURN IN A GRAND STYLE AND ENSLAVE US THE REAL WAY. WHAT NIGERIA NEEDS IS NOT DIVISION BUT UNITY OF EACH AND EVERY TRIBE,RELIGION ETC BECAUSE ONLY THAT CAN SAVE US.

I have said it and will say it again, THE TROUBLE IS NOT YET ENDED BUT WILL NOT DEGENERATE TO WAR OR BREAK UP

I support you. They are just doing all these so that the prediction of America that "Nigeria will break up by 2015" will come to pass.

This is quite interesting, I think we are making a mistake but despite the mistake we are making head way cos i support division.

The mistake here is not the north muslim but the hausa muslim. We need to know that the hausa man does not recorgnise any muslim as his brother. if you are not an hausa then you are not and hausa.

Let them on, we are waiting.

For Nigerians who are scared, this is the best time to take the bull by the horn if really they want the division. We in the south are not fools for which they have taken us for, they have enriched themselves with the oil in the south and created states and local government in which they use to coin conceptes like "Majority" to exploit Nigerians,

Even if its with our last blood, we must confront our fears for the sake of our generation unborn or else this killings will continue to re-occur,
Please dont take me for a voilent person but if Nigeria must divide for the sake of peace to reign, i suscribe to it and when we get to that bridge we will cross it.

My message for those bastards that call themselves "Al Queda", they have meet their perfect match. Gone are the days when people live in fear, Biafra war was a fiction, let them come we will show them reality, atleast we have oil we can give to the Americans and other hungry world powers, maybe they will trade their invivisible groundnut and beans that can not feed a state in Nigeria for a whole year.

The bomb blast in Warri is just a drop in the ocean for them to see. Niger deltans are ready, we have suffered enough in the hands of this ungrateful dogmatic religious followers.
