Ban this, proscribe that - they are signs of dictator in power.

Country works by constant restructuring of its political process.

Shiites co-existed in Nigeria peacefully with other religious sects, until the worsening type of Abuja unitary government system which limits cultural and religious expressions.

Return Nigeria to the structure left by the British in 1960, unless politicians want to decimate Nigeria's population in order to keep the existing failed political process that fetched money to the politicians.

How on earth would any reasonable peace loving person support the activities of this group? Am a Muslim but will never support fanaticism. You guys want the government to treat these guys with kid gloves right? Just like the government treated Boko Haram but the became what they are today. The thing I have come to realize is that, most of those supporting these people are igbos(ipob) who pray and hope the issue would escalate and destroy the north so they can have their biafra. You guys will continue to fail just like will continue to fail in your quest to lead this country. Have NEVER seen such terrible, hateful people before angry

Are the so called IMN really doing any thing to forward move Islam, what have they ever done to make Islam to be attractive to other religious bodies even to other Islamic groups and this is because those so called I M N are complete illiterate and illiteracy is a disease.

When will the peace-loving president ban Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria?

It was a Fulani led government under Yaradua that led to the murder of the Boko Haram leader(Mohammed Yusuf), another Fulani led government under Buhari is repeating the same mistake with the prosecution of the Shite movement.

The Fulani's attempt to dominate Northern Nigeria seems to be failing and in the process, they are taking Nigeria to the abyss.

The Presidency should release Elzakzaky but his activities should not be allowed in Zaria. My experience with them in Gaskiya Zaria in 2011 is still very fresh.
They should go to the Southeast, the Igbos love them.

The government will never allow that to happen.

If Zakzaky goes to the Southeast and he is able to recruit igbos and convert them to Shia Islam, that's the end of Nigeria. Igbo+Shia Islam would mean dogged and intelligent Igbos having a Shi'ite ideology of progressiveness, martyrdom, zeal and sacrifice to fight endlessly and with Iran behind them.

GOVERNMENT OUTLAWED CRIMINALITY OF IMN, NOT FREEDOM OF WORSHIP -- PRESIDENCY

Presidency says proscription of Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN) has nothing to do with banning the larger numbers of peaceful and law abiding Shiites in the country from practicing their religion, instead it was to discourage wanton violence, murder and willful destruction of public and private property.

The Presidency explains that contrary to the claim by IMN that it had been banned from practicing its religion, President Buhari's administration has not banned Shiites from observing their five daily prayers and going to Mecca to perform the Holy pilgrimage.

Their position is blatantly false and deceptive.

The IMN is deliberately changing the narrative in order to gain sympathy and divert the attention of the world from its terrorist activities, including attacking soldiers, killing policemen and a youth corps member, destroying government ambulances and public property, consistently defying authority of the state.

The Presidency notes that the banned organization was taken over by extremists who didn't believe in peaceful protests and instead employed violence and arson, driving fear and undermining the rights of others and constituted authority.

The Presidency agrees that the constitution protects freedom of worship, but not to the detriment of the society, especially where such freedom harms others, and breaks law and order.

The Presidency insists that such criminal behavior and disregard for rights of others and human life will not be tolerated by any responsible government, explaining that everywhere in the world protesters operate within legal boundaries and conduct themselves peacefully without molesting others, or engaging in murder and killing of security personnel or destroying public and private property.

The Presidency regrets that despite all efforts by the government and other well-meaning Nigerians to make the IMN militants to see reason and abandon violence, such appeals fell on deaf ears as they killed, maimed and destroyed willfully, constituting daily nuisance to workers, commuters and other innocent citizens.

Having defied appeals to operate peacefully, and given their seeming determination to destabilize the country, the government had to act before the situation goes out of control, after admonishing many times over that people should not use religion to perpetuate lawlessness.

"We are fighting lawlessness and criminality and not pursuing a policy of discrimination against any group,” the Presidency stressed. “You cannot be in court while at the same time engaging in violent protests, molesting people and inflicting pains on others, which includes taking innocent lives.''

I have never known shittes as trouble makers anywhere I the world; they are very peaceful and tolerant, highly educated and enlightened. Check ou the volatile areas of the world occasioned by terrorist groups and to wont see a SHITTE connection - Al Qaeda, ISIS, Al Nusra, ISWAP, Al shabbab, Boko Haram, Killer herdsmen etc. non is a SHITTE group. What is their offense in Nigeria, they are asking the government to adhere to numerous court orders and release their leader who has been in prison without charge for many years. Their leaders whose sons were killed before his eye one of which was shout out, hundreds of his supporters killed and inprisonment with funny charges. IPOB. Proscribed, IMN proscribed but herdsmen protected and rewarded. What sort of a country is this?

The question is: Are you Sunni or Shia?

Looks like you're not proud of your sect.

No wahala, just stick to the topic and purge your soul of Igbo hating. Igbos will not disappear from the face of the earth because of hateful people such as yourself.



To the topic,

If Buhari had listened to the court there wouldn't have been protest.
If Buhari has not shot at and killed them, there wouldn't have been deaths.
Whatever is happening today between Shia/IMN and the government, is 90% the fault of the government.
This government has very limited conflict management skill.
Everything is brute force, except where herdsmen and cows are involved.
