Northern Nigerian Social Media Users Angry With BBC ( See Photos) by Nobody: 4:40pm On Nov 10, 2020
Social media users from Northern Nigeria have attacked British Broadcasting Corporation (Hausa Service) for publishing a picture of King Salman of Saudi Arabia shaking hands with German Chancellor, Angela Merkel.

BBC Hausa had on Tuesday morning published the picture of the duo together on its online platform.
“Saudi King Salman emphasizes Germany's importance to freedom of expression,” the photo was captioned.

But some commentators from Northern Nigeria accused the British media organisation of ‘undermining Islam’ by using a picture that shows the custodian of Islam’s holiest place in a handshake with a woman.

Some also accused it of ‘working for Jews’ and warned the staff to be cautious of what they called the “wrath of God”.

Earlier on Monday, social media users from Northern Nigeria lashed out at people of Niger Republic, accusing them of losing their faith and being on the verge of becoming infidels after online Hausa medium, Damagaram Post of Niger Republic, published a picture of a lady from Damagaram participating in a beauty pageant.

In the photo, a girl identified as Maimouna Harouna was asked to be voted as ‘Miss Zinder’.

The post, however, didn’t go down well with a number of Northern Muslims, some of whom quickly condemned and described the action as “haram”, an act forbidden under Islamic law.

Before then, 26-year-old Hausa actress, Rahama Sadau, was accused of stirring controversy and blasphemy after she shared some of her photos on social media wherein she wore a backless dress, which brought out her curves.

The development generated controversy with several conservative Muslims lashing out at her for going against Islamic tenets of dressing.

Islamic scholar, Lawal Gusau, asked the Nigeria Police Force to arraign the Kannywood actress before a Sharia court over her dressing.

I don't get. Did he shake hands or not?

If the picture was fake, it would be another thing but they don't appear to be calling out BBC because the picture is fake.

They should rather channel their anger towards the King

@ bolded...............abeg forget dat one, jo!!!

Last time, the northern youths came out on the streets (of northern nigeria) in protest of a cartoon depicted by a Caucasian in faraway Denmark, many

southerners in their midst made an august visit, in most gruesome manner, to their maker. Incidentally, not a single white man in the north then, lost a

hair from his/her body whereas hundreds of fellow so-called one (sic!) nigerians, irrespective of their religious affiliation were slaughtered with gusto!

What about 9/11 and its aftermath when Bush jnr. decided to go after Bin Laden? In protest, our northern brothers killed us in the hundreds. Again, they did not see any american in abuja to vent their anger on

Miss world contest nko? Once again, in protest, they massacred hundreds of southerners, including fellow muslims who just happens to be from the the southern region.


Now, when the southern youths came out to protest, PEACEFULLY without bringing any physical harm to other nigerians, our fulani govt still manage to secure reason to indulge in their favourite past-time, which is, killing us

Saudi king shakes hand with a woman, the world is silent, Nigerian muslims revolt
Pope says gay marriage is ok, the world is silent, Nigerian christians revolt.

The way Nigerians covet other culture's ideologies more than those cultures themselves can only be explained through psychotherapy.
