ogogoro drinking mouth,what do u know ? Yes Dan fodio was a jihadist that brought Islam to West Africa and yes he was fulani. U mean if Igbo man kill hausa people that means he is waging Christianity war against Islam ? The nomadic fulani are pagans just like u,they are a bit .

The fact is that it is Muslims like you who hide under the umbrella of unity and still cover your long term evil plot. Don't forget Usman Dan Fodio was a nomadic Fulani and that's why you'll always be their slave since you know not the truth. Man I'm in the known of the Islamic agenda and none of your naivety and lies can wash it under

I just conducted my research on the writer and to say I was surprised would mean I haven't began to understand the world and how it works.

First of all, Bernard Henri-Levy is French of Jewish ancestry - Proclaims himself to be Jewish.

He's banned from travel to Russia.

He was vociferous in the toppling of Ghadaffi in Libya and was touted as the person who convinced France to support the rebels in the ousting of Ghaddafi.

We know how that ended.

As Africans, we are being played and it is up to you to make your investigation.
so it was France that toppled Ghaddafi

The way you guys souund stupid is amazing

This thread was opened to shine light on the atrocities of Fulani using Islan to persecute and wipe out Christians.

Instead of focusing on this, some freaks have turned this into Yoruba vs Ibo competition....

Mods can you please delete these posts for derailing. Also going forward on these inputs ban any Yoruba vs Ibo contributor in addition to deleting their negative posts.
Thanks.

Yoruba Muslims would defend their masters... Trust them ! They wouldn't fail

This is the lie Igbo's have been training their children on right from the cradle, Yoruba's have a price indeed, if the situation have been reversed and the oil that was newly discovered in Nigeria then was located in the west would you people have wanted to separate, your accusation is on you because oil was your price and greed to keep to yourself what should rightfully belong to three region, you think when Awolowo came to himself he would not fight for our rights, the three region suffered under colonialism and got independence but you guys wanted to sit on the fruit of collective labour, just try and imagine if the oil had been in Yoruba land would ojukwu had let us go? Would he want to separate? His greed killed millions because as always he expected others to dance to his selfish tune, wrong calculation

As for those other people you mentioned, I'm sure your allegations are not correct but even if you are I will tell you this, Yoruba's don't do tribal or clan thing like you guys do, the same thing that made us most accommodating and civilised make us see everyone as equal and no sacred cow, a Yoruba man in making decision thinks about what the situation on ground is and not what tribe of the partied involve is, we will not support crime because its from a Yoruba and we will not put our own individual
interest, future, career, family etc aside because of tribal sentiment, that is why we will appoint an Igbo man to political office in our land if we feel he is competent enough and deserves it,

As for Awolowo commuting suicide, that is just another Igbo lie to sooth your ego, he died at old age and of natural courses, be educated
You are a true Historian. Highly intelligent and very apt in your write-up.
They still harbour the bitterness against a tribe for not supporting their moves in the last election. Since then they referred to us as betrayal. But they forgot that they had the same way supported Shagari a Northerner in Second regime( NPN) and heads were not rolled. Nobody called them all manners of names, Nigeria was not called Zoo. No marginalization etc.
Confused set of people.

First of all, you have no concept of what treason is. Secondly, you're speaking from both sides of your mouth. According to the United Nations Chapter VII: Article 51 -“Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of the individual or collective self-defense if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations until the Security Council has taken measures necessary to maintain international peace and security. Moreso, it's the inherent right of any person to defend himself when attacked. Hence, Christians have every GOD given right to pick up arms and defend themselves by any means necessary. The Nigerian Constitution prohibits an individual from bearing arm, so why allow only the Fulanis to bear arm? Are they above the law? What has the government done about the mass killings by these invaders? Has any perpetrator been arrested and prosecuted to the full extent of the law? If the answers to the above questions are in the negative, then that's government tacit approval of killings. So, please do not use words that you have no understanding of its meaning.
Treason is an act of war against the state or government. You said people should be given gun to fight the herdsmen and govt. I don't care about herdsmen but government is a treason offence. You can defend your self but if it is with gun they will be more harm than good. Seriously have you seen any community with a lot of guns and they is peace, they are people every were. When people get guns they will use it for they are not meant to use it for even against their own religion people. Then if you watch NTA very well a lot of them have been caught. Even the with the once that kill herdsmen and use their cows to cause evil. You can say NTA bias but if it is not true they will not show them with their weapons and cows.

They claim Islamic terrorism is done by Muslim extremists while claiming Islam is a religion of peace. Ideally, Muslim extremists are supposed to be extremely peaceful, because they act on the tenets and doctrines of the religion of peace (Islam).
It's like a Christian extremist going around killing people he hates, when the Bible tells us to pray for our enemies and hate no one. A Christian extremist would be extremely Christ-like.
All in all, Islam isn't a religion of peace, it's one of war, hatred, killings, terror.

Read your Bible ver well and see how people were being killed in the name of Gods instruction. I don't understand Arabic to have pick up koran and read. But I am sure both Islam and Christianity share same background. The both religion is alien to us and it should be banned or their activities should be restricted. quote author=franchasng post=85128167]stop mentioning Christians alongside Muslims, be bold and call out the evil religion and stop being scared.


Do Christians invade remote communities to kill, destroy and take over their land Christians only spread good news and preach love and prosperity. Why can't Muslims focus on serving their so called god and let others live in peace[/quote]

The story told above can only come from one religion in Nigeria. There is big different.

Both Christain and Muslims have a history, past but the Christians has find a way to come out but the Muslims has refused, instead expanded. Killing killing killing.

In Nigeria no history of Christian militia or group going about solely to attack or kill Muslims.

So, as it stands today there is big different.

I have an opportunity to interview very young Muslims, about Christians. I found out that the big problem with Muslims is wrong teaching. That day I realised the reason Christians are be attacked on a daily base. And sad enough their leaders official and non-official are supporting it.

Believe or not what is happening in Nigeria esp in the North will make anyone shade tears. Most of the news are not even reported.
Is Fulani herdsmen are associated with Islam then Niger delta militants should be associated with Christianity. I have talked to Christians to but they pretend to like Muslims but they don't really like Muslims. Some will abuse Muslims in front of me because they think I am not a Muslim. My friend families who are Muslims relocated from the North to Osun state because of crises.

Sadly, the SW foisted this continuing disaster on Nigerians which TY Danjuma has stated that they are now scared and afraid to speak.
It's sad, that people who see themselves as sophisticated can allow hate for Igbos to becloud their sense of judgement.
I am not trying to be tribalistic but we must admit to have made mistakes in other to chat a new course.
We in the North see Yorubas as not doing anything to help minority tribes against Fulanis.
Attempts by Igbos to raise their voices is brutally crushed using federal might controlled by Buhari.
Christian southern soldiers are being decimated gradually under the guise of fighting Boko Haram and the media in Lagos has lost its voice to say it as it is.

Very true! People are steadily being put on notice that fulani will come for you, if not today, sometime soon. Anyone caught unprepared should blame himself. In fact i believe we are already slow by waiting for the attack. Opponents of fulani should be preemptive and give a no-go warning to ban fulani entry into their land. Any fulani violator will be viewed as an attacker and instantly taken down.

Oga forget all the grammars and categorizations. The fact still remain the elite Fulanis prefer the nomads more than non Fulanis. They re all muslims. Have you heard any Fulani speaks against the nomads? They won’t because they re same.

Muslims don't and will not hate Christians, the narratives by Western and local media to generalise or represent the entire population of Muslims across the globe or here in Nigeria for a stup*d action of one mutalib or a group of deranged basta#d is crazy and having Christian population buying into the narrative is worrisome.

I am not certain if you actually understand the meaning of treason because if you do, then taking up arms to defend yourself or your family from an armed invader is not treason. Treason by dictionary definition is the crime of betraying one's country, especially by attempting to kill the sovereign or overthrow the government. So from the above definition, I do not see where it states that defending one's self from armed invaders is treason. I know people like to throw words around but I suggest that you should at least understand the true meaning of a word before you start labeling people as being treasonous.

Open your l mind! What is the mission of Niger Delta militants? Or even IPOB? Are both group going inside mosques or Muslim community to kill innocent people, baby and pregnant women? No and No.

Boko haram, Fulani herdsmen target as far as victims is concern are largely Christians and their community or land. From Kaduna South, Adamawa, Jos, in Borno state only one 2 churches are standing the rest destroyed by extremists. Cheered by many of their supporters. Reported early this year.
How there you compare Niger Delta militants to Boko haram or Al Quada?

You claim they are not Muslims i agree but they were formed from Muslims. in fact i call them another branch of Muslim.

We have also read, noticed and track the double standard of FG, Nigerian security agencies and elite from the North.

I like Muslim but i hate killing.

I wanna see Muslims restrict their religion only among themselves and stop killing people for no reason.

Then things will change between Muslims and non-Muslims and watch Nigeria grow.
