It's a lot more insidious than you think. In March 2021, a 96 year-old businessman died in Rome, Italy. In his lifetime, Ahmed Idris Nasreddin might have amassed a personal fortune of close to half a billion dollars, but the death of NASCO Group’s multimillionaire founder barely made the news. At first glance, the only extraordinary thing about his life story was that it embodied the African entrepreneurship dream. Nasreddin was an Eritrean who moved to Jos in Nigeria’s Plateau State, and grew his father’s small manufacturing business into a $460 million conglomerate involved in everything from breakfast cereal and confectionery to pharmaceuticals, real estate and energy. After many years of growth and success, he eventually handed his sprawling business empire over to his son Attia Nasreddin, and retired at an old, satisfied age. In an official statement released after Nasreddin’s death in March, Plateau State governor Simon Lalong said: “NASCO has over the years remained a major employer of labour in Plateau and continues to contribute to the economic prosperity of the State and Nigeria at large through tax revenue and corporate social responsibility.” Well that was the cover story, anyway. In reality, as is so often the case in Nigeria, the gap between the facts and the information released to the public is so wide as to be scarcely believable. What on earth could this shrewd, respectable businessman who looked like he could not hurt a fly have done, to put him in the same article as a story about the world’s deadliest terrorist organisation? Why would the brand he built, which to many Nigerians evokes memories of a beloved childhood breakfast staple, appear in the same sentence as Boko Haram? To answer these questions, our story begins on another continent in 1955, some 8 years before his father would move to Nigeria and establish NASCO Group. 4 Likes 2 Shares

A Scholar From Zamfara The year is 1955, and a 33 year-old Islamic scholar from Gummi in modern day Zamfara State has made his way to Mecca for his first Hajj pilgrimage. Alongside him is a certain Ahmadu Bello, who is the Premier of Northern Nigeria. During this trip, the scholar impresses both Ahmadu Bello and the Saudi King Sa’ud with his Arabic translation skills. He rapidly makes a big impression on many locals and clerics in Mecca. These relationships will later become his most valuable asset following the events that take place after his subsequent return to Nigeria. Upon returning to Nigeria, he takes up positions teaching Arabic Studies at Islamic schools in Kano and Kaduna. His style of teaching focuses on educating his students about the differences between Islamic religious doctrine and local customs. Based on his strict Sunni understanding of the Qur’an, he teaches his students to adopt a ‘pure’ Islamic identity at the expense of practises that he considered bid’ah (roughly translated as ‘innovation’ or ‘corruption’). 1 Like 1 Share

He also becomes the first Islamic scholar to translate the Qur’an from Arabic into Hausa, which puts him in a uniquely influential position comparable to that of Ajayi Crowther in 19th century southwestern Nigeria. Using this leverage, he becomes an increasingly powerful figure in Northern Nigeria, with his essentialist views on Islamic doctrine gaining popularity. To him, the existing Sufi orders of Northern Nigeria are polluted with bid’ah and unfit for purpose. He becomes well known for attacking the Tijaniya and Qadriyya brotherhoods during his appearances on Radio Kaduna, while advocating for a ‘return’ to ‘Islamic purity.’ Following the death of his friend and benefactor Ahmadu Bello, the scholar finds himself in a precarious situation. The new Nigerian federal government led by soldiers has a motive to crack down on anyone who is outspoken and influential. He may be a giant in Northern Nigeria, but he is a giant with feet of clay. His solution is to seek financial, doctrinal and political help from his friends in Mecca. The Saudis, as always, are ready to help. His Saudi backers are keen to use him to espouse the Saudi Arabian state’s official interpretation of Islam, which is based on the work of 18th century Islamic scholar Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhab. This fundamentalist doctrine, often known as Wahabbism fits very closely with the teachings of our hero in Northern Nigeria, and he enthusiastically sets about gathering support for this new Saudi-funded project. In the 2009 book ‘The Wahhabi Mission and Saudi Arabia,’ historian David Commins says: “The [Saudi-funded Muslim World] League also sent missionaries to West Africa, where it funded schools, distributed religious literature and gave scholarships to attend Saudi religious universities. These efforts bore fruit in Nigeria's Muslim northern region with the creation of a movement (the Izala Society) dedicated to wiping out ritual innovations. Essential texts for members of the Izala Society are Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab's treatise of God's unity and commentaries by his grandsons.

No secret is hidden forever. That's why the devilish regime is foot dragging about releasing names of Boko haram sponsors and financiers. Yet the same bloody regime had no problem releasing names of alleged PDP looters, who by the way are getting acquitted in court. It's visible to the blind and audible to the deaf that ALL Northern leaders are sponsors of Boko haram and fulani terrorist murderous activities. Can we begin to imagine the numbers of people slaughtered by Boko haram Islamic terrorists from 2006 to this time?! Not to mention the activities of Fulani Terrorist group responsible for the death of over 500,000 people with millions displaced? What a bunch of DEVILISH PEOPLE. Every Northern sponsor of Boko haram and fulani terrorist will pay with their lives and their entire generation for the unimaginable bloodshed and sorrow they caused families for their satanic religion. What evil people. At the end of buhari's fulani terrorist regime, all Muslim terrorists and their sponsors will be exposed to the world. This is why I'll always campaign for Nigeria's total disintegration. We can't be yorked together with satanic people in the north. TOTAL DISINTEGRATION OF NIGERIA WILL SAVE MILLIONS OF MIDDLE BELT AND SOUTHERN LIVES FROM FULANI AND BOKOHARAM TERRORISM! 12 Likes 1 Share |

*NASCO is still doing good, the guys are doing their business. *Gumi, in nothern Nigeria is a great warrior and nobody till date accused him of any violence. Unlike his son who is living now, that guy not all muslims recognize him. You can understand that by looking at avarage students who are still living now *Saudi Arabia treats terrorists harshly, if it isn't like that the world nuclear weapons would have already launched there.... Typing.... *Jibwis on the other hand is an organization in the north, it's not separated from others, its just a brand *Boko haram, have killed many known scholars of the so called JIBWIS (GUMI STUDENTS) eg: Shk Jafar Mahmoud Adam Kano (2007) & Shk Muhammad Awwal Albany Zaria (2014), Pantami is now their target since He is not practicing their bad Ideas. Boko haram is an opposition org to Sunni muslims, JIBWIS in general, because BH considering western Education to be haram(prohibited), Gumi and his students are totally "yan boko". They are into University, Poly and other colleges acquiring degress. eg: Pantami, Albany Zaria (many degrees, one was computer Programming) among others. *Don't forget, I am saying all this because the OP's post is trash, it will lead you to nothing, Poorly carried out fake research Still typing...
