all none violent religion might be upset or jealous of your behaviour but they will not go violent.
Hindu can be jealous and hot tempered but they will not go violent. if you question their faith worst of it all. they will call the police for you or drive you from their community. in a way that they issues quick notice and no Hindu should rent their house to you. they mostly stay and live within their community. and if they live outside their community they won't even mends issues with anyone base on religious faith.
same with Buddhist, Christian, and all other religion.
only Muslims killed others for questioning their faith.
buhari killed youth corpers and southern traders for not winning 2011 election. everyone knows he never won that election but he killed innocent citizen for his threats and refusing to accept defeat.
anyone would have taught that maybe he has something new to offer Nigeria from 1981.
its disappointing that there is nothing new and i wish buhari spend upto 10years back then as military head of state he would have islamized Nigeria.
how could obasenjo not know all this? atleast IBB knows of it.
this is serious, south Africans has never a time hide their hatred for Nigerians. any small issues or anger they group themselves very easily once they hear its Nigerian and attack without questioning.
Epimetheus: It's very easy to get carried away with emotions.. but what's the solution? For those suggesting boycotting cow meat, you forget that a beggar has no choice. Yes, there's hunger in the land and a thirsty man cannot not ignore an oasis in the desert. I ask again, "what's the solution?" As I can't seem to come up with an answer that is satisfactory
domestic goat, chicken, fish, ram. its because we are used to eating beaf. we sha adopt after 2 years
this fulani issue is political. its a ploy to collect peoples land with forces. later tomorow they want more and it will continue until there is no farm land for locals.
those poor Fulani doing the killing don't own any cow. majority of them are not even Nigerians. the real fulani killing people and owners of those cows are the president, senators and military chiefs and other big men.
the cattle is now tame as blood meat. any wealth, food or position that took the blood of humans is tag with blood...
judas called the money he sold jesus for a blood money.
so anyone still eating cow meat is directly or indirectly eating the blood of humans.
Today, the Anglophone speakers complain that the French-majority discriminate and prevent them from employment and business opportunities. They use language (French) as a means to dominate and exclude, even though English is meant to be an official language. Activists say French has become the official language of courts and schools.
French penal codes have replaced English common law. English speakers have been pushed into a corner - adapt and assimilate or become obsolete.
As it turns out, these are matters deeply tied to the colonial period in which European countries, greedy for labour and resources, cut and shaved African nations and moulded them at will. First Germany took Kamerun in 1884 and, following its defeat in World War I, the League of Nations divided Kamerun between Britain and France.
As a result, both territories developed with a different currency, political culture, and legal and education systems. In the French-controlled regions, power came directly from Paris whereas the British preferred less-intensive indirect rule.
This is the nature of colonialism; it was an all-encompassing system of social and political life. But then when independence came, colonial entities still somehow ensured that their divide-and-rule legacy would stick. In early 1960 Cameroon achieved independence from France. In October 1961, the English-speaking regions, also known as the southern and northern Cameroons, achieved their independence from Britain.
Most people in southern Cameroon wanted independence but this option was erased from the referendum; they were told they could either join Nigeria or Cameroon. Northern Cameroon subsequently joined Nigeria and southern Cameroon joined Cameroon.
Almost immediately, Cameroon’s government looked to assert control over southern Cameroon. There was also a move to consolidate a one-party state and rising authoritarianism that culminated in the end of federalism in 1972.
Henceforth all power in Cameroon would be centralised.
Movements for independence rose in the 1970s and 1990s. Just as on Sunday, there were declarations of independence in both 1999 and 2009, none of which have any legal basis but they were carried out anyway.
Recent protests that started the latest call for independence began late last year.
Lawyers in the English-speaking areas took to the streets to call for (British) common law to be used in the justice system. However, they were ignored.
When the protests spread to schools and businesses, and the boycotts grew, so much so that much of these regions were deserted and dubbed “ghost towns”, the intimidation and crackdown on demonstrators intensified.
There were dozens of deaths, hundreds of detentions and arrests. The internet was cut for more than 90 days. The government agreed to open a dialogue but these attempts failed, too.
Yet none of this is particularly surprising for Cameroon. This is a country that has become increasingly antagonistic towards dissent over the past decade. Journalists have been jailed, dissent has been repeatedly quashed. Under the guise of “fighting terror”, this government and its security forces have been able to get away with a litany of dubious behaviour towards its own.
Their salient role in the fight against Boko Haram and Europe’s fear of losing business to China has granted Cameroon a reprieve from international scrutiny. So much so that Cameroon’s President Paul Biya just pretends that none of these issues even exist.
The question is not whether a free Anglophone state should exist. This is a debate which Anglophones are having themselves and is not for me to prescribe.
What is clear is that as the people grow more frustrated and feel increasingly ignored, the desire for an independent state or for a return to federalism will only grow. And no amount of repression, curtailing of rights or communication will halt that.

macof: What IS do you have? Dumb piece of shit who doesn't know his history, language or culture talking of IQ If you had any good power of reasoning you would know that Africa was at per with Europe during the 16th century.
Christianity itself is based on human sacrifice...so what is this fool saying?
the jews are very intelligent to have document their history with God. from descendant to descendant. even the white marvel, they drop off their idols and adopted it. its civilization and scientifically inventions and researches that's making many of them to question their faith.
what is stopping your Africa tradition from overtaking and controlling the west.
when Africans are into bullet proof charms, the west already developed bullet proof vest.
no education or written records of Africa past, tradition or religion other than folktale. killing of twins and abinos. holy shit. u are not even ashamed comparing africa. they never build house made with stones. dirty hunt and work around naked. even the arab that was once superior will never compared themselves to white advancement.
the white borrowed their education from rome, greek, india. arab.
the decimal numeral. 1,2,3,4 was an India invention, the arab abducted it and modified it. and the white perfected it.
the white borrowed the English language. its the superior of the white advancement that made the world look up to them.
the gun power use for warfare was developed by Ottoman and not the white. they pick it up and upgrade it. the white has no culture they borrowed the best from the east.
potbelly: I don dey complain since 2015 I have to lend my voice to this issue. For the past six months, Glo has fraudulently deducted my credit. This started towards the ending of the month June 2015. 100 naira was deducted from my account. I called their customer care to report the incident. I was told i subscribed for one of their sms packaged which I didn't (why should i do such when i Have the internet at my disposal?) I asked how that possible when i didn't send an sms to request for the package, their reply was i probably answered one of the automated calls or someone didn't it on my behalf (crazy response). I was told the issue has been forwarded to their "so called engineers" and it will be resolved in 48hrs.I received an sms to that effect that the issue has been resolved. To avoid repetition of the incident, i stopped answering automated calls. although the sms stopped coming my credit was still deducted usually toward the end of the month and this continued till september when i decided not to reload my credit account. sometime in october I decided to reload my credit account and this time I ensured the credit left was always below 100 naira. This worked for the month october and november. Early december, I loaded my account because i intended to send christmas messages to friends, collegues and family, They deducted 100 naira the same day I loaded the account. Calling customer care again, i was told they can't tell me the exact service i subscribed for because their are carrying out system upgrade. After all the hot tempered words were released from me, the customer care officer told me she will forward the issue to their engineers. The same day, I received a message that the issue has been resolved. This repeated itself around christmas and the same shouts and assurance from the customer care official ensued. Just this week, I continued with my routine of ensuring the credit is below 100 naira, only for glo to deduct 50 naira out of the balance left. Same talk of they can't tell me what services i subscribed for because of system upgrade that the issue has been forwarded to the engineers for solution.
1.Now my issue is why should a telecom provider deduct credit for services that were not requested for i.e forcing it on the subscribers
2. I don't know what the so called engineers are doing in that place because i believe if an issue should be resolved, it should be resolved once and for all.
I know some people will say its just 100 naira but think of how many subcribers maybe running into millions that have similar experiences.
This is my first time i am calling on you Lalasticlala. please push this thing to front page. i believe there are alot of people out there experiencing this issue and this platform been the biggest in africa will make globacom telecommunications sit up.
lol. glo is looking for money badly to acquire 9mobile. hence the intense criminal activity.
babasolution: how do u know if we would have not been better off now,without the whitemans God??,we cant know because the whites took over,so u can judge how our level of development,would have been,who knows if we would have been better off??,the mistake many people make is the thinking that technology means better quality of life,many Africa would have had a different kind of civilization that would hav made Africa a better continent,but the whites imposed their ways on us and we can only judge progress based on level of westernerzition now
guy forget that gist. African wouldn't have develop any poo. look at the north for example the amajiri
could it be that God live in the Sun or the Sun is God?. because nothing can possibly get closer to the sun.
The Sun is light and the most important living star to all planet on our solar system.
at night when the earth spins facing the outer space, turning away from the sun, so many evil things happened during this period. unlike when it faced the sun.
most witchcraft spell and magic craft or portion break by themselves after Sun set. watch this YouTube video.
if not for the outside world. buhari would have ordered the military to wipe out every one from Nigeria who is not a Muslim. let assume Nigeria is just a tiny planet.
Islamic sect Boko Haram yesterday opted for dialogue with the Federal Government, picking former military leader Gen. Muhammadu Buhari as mediator.
Buhari contested last year’s presidential election on the platform of Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) against President Goodluck Jonathan.
Boko Haram also proposed Saudi Arabia for the talks, which the government had for long suggested to ascertain the sect’s grievances. Others, it suggested as mediators are Dr. Shettima Ali Monguno, Senator Bukar Abba Ibrahim, Ambassador Gaji Galtimari, Mrs Aisha Alkali Wakil and her husband Alkali Wakil.
Boko Haram named Abu Mohammed Ibn Abdulaziz, said to be the next in command to its leader, Abubakar Shekau, as leader of its team to the talks. He will be joined by Abu Abbas, Sheik Ibrahim Yusuf, Sheik Sani, Kantagora and the detained Mamman Nur.
Ibn Abdulaziz, who spoke in a tele-conference with reporters in Maiduguri, Borno State, also called for the arrest of former Governor Ali Modu Sheriff, but gave no reason for the demand. He also asked for compensation for families of killed Boko Haram members and the release of those in detention.
In a swift reaction, the Presidency welcomed Boko Haram’s change in position, reiterating its commitment to peace and Justice.
A statement last night by presidential spokesman Reuben Abati reads: “Yes, I have seen the story in which the Boko Haram is reportedly declaring a ceasefire and the opening of dialogue. I think it is important to restate the position of government in this matter.
“The Federal Government is committed to peace and security for the benefit of all Nigerians. If what the proposed ceasefire is intended to achieve are the objectives of peace and security, then it is a welcome development.
“Don’t forget that President Jonathan had made it clear that if the people behind Boko Haram are ready to come forward, and table their grievances, then government will be willing to listen to those grievances.
“There have been attempts before now, by concerned persons to reach out to the Boko Haram through back channels, in response to government’s call that all efforts should be made to resolve the problem. I suspect that this latest development may be related to that.
“Definitely, government is determined to ensure peace, peace, and peace, and protect the rule of law, and at the same time, see that justice is done where wrongs have been committed.”
Despite a shift in its hardline position, Boko Haram’s command and control structure remains a mystery.
Abdulaziz, who spoke on its behalf yesterday is unknown to the media.
Ibn Abdulaziz said: “We are not actually challenging the state, as people are saying, but the security (forces) who are killing our members, children and wives.”
“We are highly offended but if this government is sincere, everything (the attacks) will come to an end. We want to dialogue but government must show sincerity in its handling of the situation.”
The call came through the channels that Boko Haram usually communicates with reporters, but not from its spokesman who uses the nom de guerre Abul Qaqa in such calls. Ibn Abdulaziz, who claimed to speak on Shekau’s behalf, did not call for the implementation of Shariah law across Nigeria, a long-term demand of the sect.
