Nice one. Some people have been going around denying protests are taking place despite the fact that we can all see the protests and others on the ground have testified that protests are ongoing.

Nigerians do not want their only social welfare to be taken away just so rich thieves amongst the political and military elite can keep stealing and eating N1bn a year.

The story of a man who had no shoes to cross river to attend school but now using 1billion to eat in a year. What a pathetic state.

how are we so sure that this method will work nd not enrieching some group and punishing we the masses and by the way what does he have to say when he buggeted 1billion on food alone.

News!

there is stil riot here in Benin ooooo ikopoba hill area as at now

CNN keep up the nice job.

for any news article to be taken seriously, it should be edited properly before posting. wtf is ubiben?

From the Mahdist Islamic movements of Sudan in the 1890's, which the British helped Squash after the brutal massacre in Khartoum of a British Army officer, to the Revolution of the Sheik fodio of the then Hausa rulers of Gobir, to the present days revolution in places like Egypt, Tunisia et al.

One thing is common. These fundamentalist organise their disciples into a ragtag army crying against INJUSTICE and seem to be fighting for injustice only to consolidate their Strict rule of Religious dominance in those Societies (ala Afghanistan). Back then in Omdurman, Sudan; the British were not fooled.

They dealt a death blow to the Mahdist movement. NOBODY, and i repeat, NOBODY should come here and tell us that they are robbers causing the killings in the North. WE are not FOOLED by these same rhetoric with which the SULTAN exonerated the Bombings caused by BOKO HAram as a mere handiwork of political agitations.

Hear Winston Churchil on the River War, written about 110 yrs ago.

“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries!
Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the creed rule or live, Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. , all know how to die; but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. (SEE what has happened to Northern Nigeria Over the years, precipitate their dominant rule in the last 50years) No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising FEARLESS WARRIORS at every step; and were it not that Christian Europe is sheltered in the strong arms of science (the science against which it had vainly struggled) the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome.
end of quote.

by the way, i have not heard of Sharia banking 4sometime now after accusing, shaming and denouncing some people of grave injustice in managing the banks!!!!

These times call for ETERNAL VIGILANCE. The Coptics in Egypt after fighting for "INJUSTICE" alongside their fantical brethren. Even, we had people here who showed us pictures of how they were protecting their "brethren" from other faiths from the POLICE while praying on this Nairaland. They Were visited with the real aims of fundamental Islamist, BOMBINGS, BOMBINGS, BOMBINGS, BOMBINGS, BOMBINGS, Asasinations and DEATHS in their Churches. After Sufficiently intimidating and harassing these gullible comrades they have now tried to enforce the religious dominance in that country!!!

Make no mistake about this. There is a RELIGIOUS JIHAD being WAGED by a section of HOLY WARRIORS in accordance with the interpretation of their Creed. it is all summed up in this statement by Sheik Othman Dan Fodio,

"In his book Tanbih al-ikhwan ’ala ahwal al-Sudan (“Concerning the Government of Our Country and Neighboring Countries in the Sudan”) Usman writes: “The government of a country is the government of its king without question. If the king is a Muslim, his land is Muslim; if he is an Unbeliever, his land is a land of Unbelievers. In these circumstances it is obligatory for anyone to leave it for another country”. [1]. In fact, Usman did exactly this when he left Gobir in 1802. After that Yunfa turned for aid to the other leaders of the Hausa states, warning them that dan Fodio could trigger a widespread Jihad. [4]. Eventually, he did and it was the first major Jihad for the series of Jihads which were surging during the 18th and 19th century across Sudan and the neighboring states. It was called the Sokoto Jihad and it took place in Hausaland.

Hmmmmmm!!!!, the SPIRIT OF SUDAN- that has gripped that country for years causing intolerant oppressive rule of the SOuth,,,,,,THe supporter of APC mercenaries that operate BOKO HARAM Style b4 the Indepenence of SOuth Sudan is seeking Solace here in Nigeria. We Bind and Cast OUT of our land that PRINCIPALITY DEMON in the name of Jesus. Go and read abt the predictions of NOSTRADAMUS abt what the Major 3rd world War shall consist of.
Watchout, Be Alert!! THE ALARM IS SOUNDING VERY CLEAR. Say not, i never knew this is what it shall come to. BEWARE!!!!!!!!BEWARE!!!!!!!!!
