Women in burqas walk down the center of the road of Kano and others hold placards, some with 'Death to Israel' written on them. [b]The Islamic movement of Nigeria [/b]held a peaceful procession against the Israel occupation of Palestine. The demonstration was held in Kano, North west of Nigeria. 2nd September 2011

Mindless unproductive retrogressive poverty and disease stricken illiterates. Can they even locate Israel or Palestine on a map? How can these Northern knuckle heads leave their issues to meddle into other ppl's affairs? Are Palestinians even worrying about them? Kaiiiii Why are we forced to be in this useless union with these backward people?

Na so e dey take start!!! I suppose they've looked for more important issues nearer home to demonstrate about, but couldn't find any.

These people are so foolish. They cant demonstrate about the state of decay present in their state.
Are they aware that the women in palastine are educated and somewhat have a better health care than them.
Na one sheikh go sponsor this movement.

What has Isreal got to do with Nigeria, not to talk of Kano?

These people sef!

They should be protesting and calling for "death to polio."

@Jason 123, this is the reason why we must leave these people and form our own union or unions. I don't care I just want to wake up one day and gladly say I am not sharing a nation with them.

They want their own Amnesty as na the order of the day for Naija

True about bolded part. Let's ask the Palestinian women if they would trade places with the women in Kano for anything in the world ?  

They didn't even spell Israel correctly

It is virtually true that all these un-rests are funded by the north to destabilize this govt. But i will be fine if their sponsors unveils their faces boldly and say what the want, or Jona should divide the country and let them bee QED,

I had a good laugh with this one Udezue. But I dont like insults  .

Cant they protest against Boko Haram. What is wrong with Nigeria please? Please they should not attract more bad attention than we already have. They are truly as Udezue said, "Unproductive."

Israel and Palestine should be at the bottom of the priority list for 'em.

So many other things to deal with.

Many of you bigots jump at every opportunity to vomit your evil and very uncivilized verbal venom. Hitler himself had a great desire to limit freedom of expression which eventually led to the holocaust. You evil ones, like Hitler are now reigning all kinds of abuse on people who are simply exercising their freedom of expression.

You fools have already forgotten that apatheid would have remained in effect were it not for the good people from different parts of the world who protested against it.  Shame on you guys.

this is totally s.t.u.p.i.d on the sponsors. Cant they find another reason to protest? This is how it starts. Today its women in kano, how i wish GEJ got balls.

Freedom of speech is fine. But a patient suffering from cancer should probably focus on taking his cancer medicine rather than some dude in the middle east's cold, no?

How can the poverty-striken, polio-ridden, uneducated people of Kano be demonstrating for Palestinians? People who are probably better off than they are? 

Palestinians should be demonstrating for Kano indigenes, not the other way around

Nigeria has to be the only country that swallows panadols for anther's religious palava.

Apart from the USA meddling into other ppl's business, but atleast they're SEEN and HEARD.

Chucks, Please no body is a fool here. Dont we have worse problems in Nigeria than concentrating on other people's problem. When has anyone protested about the killings going on in Nigeria? When and how please let us know? They went as far as wanting their voices to be heard but they cannot speak out about the decandence that is going on in Nigeria. It is unproductive, it is not today that people started protesting about Isreal's invasion, Nigeria's protest is unproductive for right now. No one wants to hear crap from people that have not sorted out their own problems.

I think they are doing the right thing. I feel for the people of Palestine and I am Christian. You may not like what they do, but the way I see it at least they are doing something.

What has your post got to do with the thread? what's your point?

Do we have to fear for our lives anytime an  "Islamically" religious even occurs in the other corner of the world?

You don't wish to deny any Nigerian the freedom to express themselves as they see fit do you? Do you know who the demonstrators are or what other causes they champion?

My point was that the vemomous attack on the people expressing their freedom of speech and association was uncalled for and bigoted. Read the attacks on the protesters by other respondents. Imaging someone calling people who are exercising their freedom of speech, peacefully, "Mindless unproductive retrogressive poverty and disease stricken illiterates"! Haba.

They are entitled to their freedom of speech. Maybe it is just me, but I don't protest for people better off than me. Would be kinda weird, no?

Shouldn't they focus on their problems first?

Since when did "DEATH to _______ " become peaceful?

And we should be focused on the illiteracy level in Nigeria, esp in the Northern states. I mean, the last time I checked my map it was "Israel" not "Esrael". Priority has been sinfully replaced, I see.

You asked when has anyone protested about killings going on in Nigeria, ko? Well you people should take a hing from the Kano protesters and organize your own protest about the issue you are complaining about. The problem is that you people will not protest anything whatsoever. Your leaders will continue to r.ape you with impunity. No vex dear, nothing personal.

Wow!

And I wasn't even exaggerating!

Pervasive poverty, worsened by unchecked government corruption, is as much part of the problem as fervent religious belief. A stark economic contrast between the mainly Muslim north and the Christian and animist south is also fanning the flames. Literacy rates in the north-east are two-thirds lower than in Lagos, the southern business hub. Less than 5% of women are able to read and write in some northern states. Income per head is 50% lower than in the Christian south. The lack of economic opportunities is driving some into the arms of radicals.

http://www.economist.com/node/21526939

GDP/capita in the north is roughly $700ish. In Palestine, was $1100ish in 2005 (see this link.)

So again, who should be protesting for whom?

They are entitled to their freedom of speech, but shouldn't they face their problems closer to home that make them worse off than the Palestinians?

While one may find a couple of placards distasteful, it would be a stretch to deem the Kano protest as anything other than peaceful. There was no violence at all.
