The best news of the century. Let us learn from them. By this singular move, we can checkmate those that want to incite religious war in our land.

Our problem is not religion, our problem is good governance.

Why don't you grow up. Do you prefer religion over good life? Are you ready to go out there fighting a useless religious war for no reason? Are u ready to be a tool in the hands of external manipulative interest?

Yes it is a vow!!!!!!

We'll believe this when we see it

Why havent they protested against the Boko Haramist?

Is it now they know that thwy will "protect" Christians?

Nonsense

^^^^ Take it as it is. It may not be perfect news, but it's great news. I wish them well.

If we must develop as a country then we have to unite.

Reminds me of Coptics who joined their counterparts in Cairo during the uprising, We all kno how it ended

Christians form a human sheath for Muslims praying in Kano !!!

United we stand

When I said we all know how it ended I meant the eventual burning of churches and killing of christians a few weeks later.

Ohhhh realllllly? So where was this sentiment when the Youth Corpers were mercilessly slaughtered during the last elections? Furthermore, were the perpetrators members of Boko Haram?

yeah, when the muslims form a human shield for praying christians then wake me up. snooze.

Great news. God is in control.

Great news. God is in control.

It's true o.For once Nigerians from both religious divide are united for a single course.This is unheard of in the annals of Nigerian history.This comment & pix was culled from Facebook;'It's now 10hrs since d commencement of peaceful protest in kano state COMRADES ARE STILL IN ACTION'

It would have been nice to see this kind of show of unity when Boko haram was blowing us up.

I blame GEJ for this nonsense. Instead of the country uniting against Boko Haram, the Presidency managed to invent a situation where Nigerians are now united against the Government.

What a dumb move by the Presidency.

This is no time for strong heard or being macho, reverse the subsidy removal now!!!!!

Lets focus on defeating Boko haram!

A Lion and a Lamb are not always in the same cage at the zoo.
Christians don't be fooled by an Aboki trap !!

Just got this off Twitter.From the Nigeria News Desk-The Kano protesters are scampering for their lives as Police fire live ammunition and tear-gas into the crowd
& its been confirmed by several people & online media outlets.This is so wrong,the IG should call his men to order.We don't want any more deaths

Occupy Nigeria Activists Set Up "Tahrir Square" In Kano City

By SaharaReporters, New York
Pro-gasoline subsidy rallies across Nigeria continue to gain momentum with protesters in Kano staging an overnight rally in at the Silver Jubilee round about renaming it "Subsidy Square".

Attempting to re-enact the mass demonstrations that took place in Egypt’s Tahrir Square during the 2011 Arab Spring movement, protesters in Kano are also referring to the Silver Jubilee roundabout as “Tahrir Square Kano.”

The social media networks are abuzz with users posting updates and photos from Kano and calling for food and water donations to be sent to the protestors.


“Our very own Tahrir Square right in the middle of Kano State, Silver jubilee round about!”, tweets @dawisu

The protests strengthen despite appeals from Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso for citizens of Kano State to terminate anti-fuel subsidy removal rallies.

Hundreds of young people lined the streets, calling for the resignation of President Goodluck Jonathan.
Local resident are making donations and three local businesses sent generators to power the speakers at the square.

Christians should not be fooled. This is just moslems and boko haram looking for how to bring the president down because he is a christian.the experience of corptic christians in egypt during/after the uprising should make you wiser.fuel subsidy is gone.if these people want to protest,they should protest against boko haram.

chima abi wetin be dat ur barrbaric bush name. u are nothing but a massob loser who does not possess any balls but only bred to blame others, can u imagine!
when coptic christians were attack but some muslim extremists in egypt ( by d way some ppl say pro mubarak supporters were trying 2 create disunity among d populace), were their no muslims around trying to put out d fire b4 d fire fighters arrived? u are indeed a ship so 4lo ur gej we are with d nigerian masses. buttlkker! nonsense

Who are these so called christians signing covenant with moslems ? Thesame moslems that call you infidel. Definately not southern,northen or middlebelt christian.Only a yoruba christian will sign covenant with a northern moslem.bigots.

@ aurenflani and co. Your deception will not work. Have you wondered why this your thread has been largely ignored?bunch of parasites,boko haram/buhari loosers,electoral failures/liability.

u see urself? i bet this time around the tide will be so strong that the city will be a hell to u and ur kind that u'll be forced to dat erosion destroyed village of urs and end up tapping palm wine.

u claim christianity? see okija shrine worshipping cannibal. what a joke!

^^^ loser,keep crying and whining,this is just the beginning,next to come is resource control and there is nothing you almajiris can do about it. Parasite.

didnt we see the same thing during the egypt riots.

now all we hear from that country is they are killing each other and burning churches.

differences arent always a bad thing, imo. It's not by force to eliminate them. The key word is supposed to be tolerance of others, but if that's too hard to do in today's world then whatever. Who cares.

btw any christian over there sashaying in the streets in the name of politics na you sabi oh.

na you send yourself message oh, especially if you're a southerner.

Hmmmmm, okay oooo

frosbel:
GOMBE, Nigeria (AP) — A pastor says gunmen have attacked a church in northeast Nigeria, killing at least three people and wounding others.
Johnson Jauro of the Deeper Life Church in Gombe, the capital of Gombe state, said the attack happened around 7 p.m. Thursday. Jauro said he heard gunfire everywhere and lost his wife in the assault on the church.

Police confirmed the attack happened in Gombe, but declined to offer any details.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.

The assault came as northeast Nigeria has been facing attacks from a radical Muslim sect known as Boko Haram. It wants strict Shariah law to be implemented across Nigeria, a multiethnic nation of more than 160 million people.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below

A covenant of convenience. Reminds me on the Core North and Middle belt relationship. Christians in kano should not be deceived, after the protest comes the boko haramites. Does the covenant cover Christians against these terrorists?

notice you dont see the muslims protecting the christians. It is always the other way round . . . from Egypt to Kano. We know what the coptics got in return for their tolerance and kindness.
