RIP to a nice man,i remember some months back while in Jos with some military boys,we all went out with Mr Okoye to Hill-Station Hotel,along Tudun Wada and it was a nice evening exchanging ideas and opinion on varying national issues,football,music etc...rest in peace for your soul has created a rapport with heavenly bodies.

9jaforlife:
Your comment reeks of confusion. It is very clear that you're one of those who readily form their opinion before you listen to what another has to say, hence the reason for your strong bias.

First of all, you have mistaken Al Aqsa Mosque/Mosque of Omar with the Dome of the Rock: even though they are both in Jerusalem, they are NOT the same!

Secondly, you heightened your confusion by saying that the dome in Russia (St Basil's Cathedral) is another religious building. Yes, a CHRISTIAN Religion Building. I hope you understand that no community will erect a cathedral to ISLAMIZE its people. And that's my point exactly.... The fact that Nigeria joined the trend of Architectural Domes does not mean anyone is bundling you to the mosque! At least you agreed that the USA Capitol is a structure of national importance, did America intend to Islamize it's citizens by choosing the design??

Again, the OIC is a platform founded to promote the legitimate interests of Muslims everywhere in the world. This objective is not for injuring the interests of non-Muslims and the Charter of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference is very clear about this. Other african countries with good Christian population are also members but it just so happens that Nigeria is sadly brewing in intolerance. If it's not religion, it's tribe!

You're very wrong to think that Islam = Arabic. No! Islam is a religion but Arabic is only a language, and without it, anyone can very well read the translated Quran and understand (as in cases of non Arabic speaking European Muslim Converts); just like a Christian can praise his lord in Arabic language. Mind you, those inscriptions on naira notes were not for Muslims, but Hausas, of which a good percentage were, and are still christians!

Finally, Boko Harams may be Muslims, just like we have Christian criminals, but Boko Haram is NOT Islam. Take it or leave it

thats my problem with you muslims,the more you try to defend this arrant nonsense the more you expose your deep rooted hatred and usual intolerance for others.i forgot that your Allah can not be worshipped in jewish language,you shld be blaming your MURIC for always raising issues that stand to divide this country rather than unite us and dont forget that the 'denial of our right is an invitatn to fight for it',because MURIC raised this, other national issues regarding religion must be raised...why must sharia be in our constitution and in the same constitutn we talked about upholding the secularity of this nation?why was Islam and muslims mentioned about twenty or more times in the constitution and not a single mention of christianity in the constitutn?why wld a secular nation mention anything grand khadi in our constitutn?
The truth is that muslims by their religion and nature are meant to cook up problems where there is non,if this issues in our constitutn had been in favour of christianity or any other religion,hell wld long had be let loose by muslims.I advice you to keep quiet and meditate over your religion and its oppressive nature.

Muslims and Islam is the single most dividing factor,not just in Nigeria but world over,i wonder how this national clown became a proffessor....only in Nigeria have i seen a situation where an oppressor cries more than the oppressed.Listen to him,'that the Arabic inscriptn has been on all the denominations for many years and that the inscriptns on the lower denominations were unceremonously removed,but that of the higher denominations were left',in essence what this nitwit,imbecillic prof.is saying is that Nigeria is an Islamic country.Whenever this things favour muslims nobody shld talk except when it swings to the other side.
The president must as a matter of urgency demand that all those devilish islamic inscriptn on our notes must be removed,Nigeria must withdraw its membership of organizatn of Islamic countries(OIC),the demonic Islamic mosque like tomb on top of the national assembly building,must be removed forthwith because Nigeria is a secular nation.some times i imagine how nice a place the world or Nigeria wld have been without Islam.

smada13:
God will so much bless you guy, I've been thinking towards that angle lately...

The Chadian President is using boko haram to destabilize the northeast so as to gain access to the lake chad oil reserve and be in sole control with Module Sheriff being his Nigerian partner. But its sad that GEJ is too dumb to use his brain.

I thought you were right on point until mentioned GEJ,i shaked my head in disapproval and said,you got it all wrong.This is beyond GEJ,this is an agenda orchestrated over so many years by a section of the old order in the core-north and other islamic neighbouring countries.it happens that GEJ who is a minority christian from the south turned out to be the president and they the boko haram was ordered by their benefactors to 'unleash the dragon'.Boko Haram may never stop their terrorism against this country until the Islamic core north withdraws their direct or indirect support for the group.
Dont forget what happened in Mubi,when our soldiers left town,many muslims took to the street and were hailing and praising boko haram,infact a report likened it to the 'triumphant entry' in the bible,people were singing their praises and some took them to the houses of few christians in the town and they effectively eliminated their neighbours who are christians.

sendmeonly:
Am sorry to say this not minding whose ox is gored but if at this point people like this could say little or nothing about the Holy Father Leader O.O.Obu he is either an agent of evil,blasphemous or just completely ignorant quote me anytime anywhere...he does not know what to say let him ask for fogiveness am sure Our Father is merciful...

Peace!!!!

..are you a member of brotherhood of cross and Star,why do you people place ur leader O.O.Obuh in the same level with Jesus Christ?can you explain better for me to understand?

Source:Osun Defender! hmmm!!! This unholy marriage between the Gambaris and a section of the south-west,will do Nigeria no good!Thesame block that held this country down with the shackles of poverty and retrogression are at it again.

....true talk Mr.FFK but how come you escaped our preying eyes,we declared you'persona non grata'in the East,but they men at the helm of affairs shielded you with enough body guards!indeed i now believe the saying that 'in politics there are no permanent friends or foe,only permanent interest'!

Why wld anyone or group waste its time responding to an uncircumcised son of perdition,whom only contribution to this country is spreading terror and fear,just to keep leeching on the national cake.Junaid and his ilks started feeding from the corridors of power right from the first republic and yet his people held sway in the presidency for upward of thirty something years but all they could give their NORTH is fifteen million Almajiris loitering the streets and hence from these Almajiris, boko haram has enough man power to tap from.some us find it hard to forgive the amalgamation of 1914 that brought us together with those who has held back this country with the shackles of poverty,extremism,terrorism and complete retrogression....well i cannt questn God for allowing the amalgamatn.

Are there no young politicians in plateau state? Why do they keep churning out expired and old people to govern the state?? God pass that shaa!

RIP to the dead.

never mind,there is a shift in age going on in plateau state this time around...the anointed candidate is senator Kwajok,a berom man in his late 40's or early 50's....RIP to the late Senator!!!

There is a difference between taken over a town and retreating into a town for safety,they ve nt shot at people,according to the report,it means they are running away from a greater force(Nigeria Army) and they may wish to melt into the populace as civilians!I can tell you that Sambisa is right about now almost being surrounded by Nigerian and international forces,though very extensive mass of land and very difficult to manoeuver,the military are doing a lot and aerial surveillance is going on...but i also wish government shld recall about 28 thousand Nigerian military men on foriegn mission,to make up for the required foot soldiers needed to wipe away these sons of devil from the surface of the earth.
God bless Nigeria!

The same imbecilic sickly looking man is so corrupt that you can perceive it 100 miles from where he is,he suddenly started loving Nigerians while as a minister of FCT Abuja,he rendered so many Nigerians homeless,he was the 'god of the manor',he hears no plea and acted without human face,the same national clown alloted plots to a one week old baby and boasted of his aristocratic upbringing and said that Abuja is not for poor Nigerians....What moral justification does this man stand on to condemn the present regime. o! I forgot he has lost his plum job,lets see if he can even win APC primaries in his native Kaduna then we shall all witness his fatal disgrace at the general elections. My people use to say 'he who the gods wants to kill,they first make him mad'!

I knew it was only a matter of time before our special force take back mubi,the pressure shld be on until they go on the defensive,Mubi is certainly going to be boko harams grave yard!i know the God that i serve.

OrlandoOwoh:
You are hardly remembered if you die for Nigeria. Fact. Nigeria can't even account for of its dead soldiers. Go to the United States, there are war memorials. There is the Vietname Veterans Memorial. On the walls are the names of the Americans who died during the war inscribed.
There is the National World War II Memorial with 56 pillars.
There is the Korean War Veterans Memorial.
There is the Arlington National Cemetery where war veterans are buried. This is also the place where the late President J. F. Kennedy and his wife are buried.
Somebody once said that if you compare the ECOMOG section of Atan Cemetery, Yaba with Arlington in the United States, you will hate to die for Nigeria.
The names of the memorials I gave you are the ones in Washington DC and Virginia.

You speak as if the solution to this war lies on building memorials for soldiers,when it suits you guys you use America and the West as an example,have you ever research on the behaviourial pattern of an Average American during wars?The encourage their soldiers by way of praises,they help the government propaganda machine online,by posting news of military successes rather than their failures,in other to demoralise the enemies,youths walk to Military headquarters seeking to be enlisted into the force regardless of any benefit,they think America first,they forget if they are republicans or democrats.Dont forget the Vietnam war which America tactically withdrew because it became a grave yard of American soldiers and yet they were all thinking America first.
Our case is even more serious because you are fighting an enemy from within and you try as much as possible to limit collateral damages.
You mentioned JF Kennedy in your post but you forgot to give us his notable quote and advice to American youths,i quote him 'do not think about what your country can do for you but rather think about what you can do for America'.

Arch1:
a little education for you bro. Azubuike Ihejirika was the COAS when:

The UN building, Abuja was bombed

The Police HQ, Abuja was bombed

The command and staff college, Jaji was bombed

The Airforce base, Maiduguri was bombed etc etc

Am nt here to blame anyone but rather to sympathise with a fallen hero,he has played his part and may God console his family.
But this point must be made straight,the North are nt being honest to this country called Nigeria,Ihejirika did a yoeman's job while at the helm of affairs of the Nigerian Army,he matched the Islamic terrorists, man for man,blood for blood,then they powers that be in the north,rised against him for brutally suppressing they terrorists,they said he was being too bloody,that in some instances rather than arresting the boko boys,he opted to waste them,he took no prisoners!
Today,every other Army chief treads with caution because of the volatility of the North and they are learning from Ihejirika's supposed mistakes inother to retain their job!Today territories are lost to they terrorist cause you never can tell if the North will take you to ICC for human rights violation when you kill their prodigal sons who are boko haram members.
Never in the history of Nigeria have we heard of any region taking service chiefs to ICC even in cases of obvious human right violations but now the North for first time has been on the recieving end and they quickly ran to ICC....dont forget the Biafran Genocide,Asaba massacre,Odi ethnic cleansing,Katsina-Ala(Benue)mass murder etc why now the core North? or are we no longer interested in this union called Nigeria!!!

So sad,the Babatunde man may even pay his way out of this case and then,waiting for another innocent victim to devour!

May be he is on self imposed rest and will be coming back soonest!wish him all the best.

Descartes:
Which business if I may ask?

must you respond to a 'lost soul',those who think that in all situation they must bring in their bitter politics and ethnicity to it...young people who have sold their souls for little crumbs that falls off their political mentors table.That guy and his ilk irritates me a lot!

...'the driver has been buried according to Islamic right',what bullsh*t is this,how then can full investigation be carried out,its as good as saying that the investigation has been closed and buried!no forensic test,postmortem examination,weapon type and bullet and location specification etc.A victim of murder buried before investigation started,what nonsense!Islamic Religiosity shld give way for orderliness to prevail.
RIP and may God divinely comfort his family!

Pa Oritsejafor always saying it as it is,the enemies of Nigeria and all agents of retrogression will always be against you but the truth that you stand for will prevail.
Long live the very amiable,hard working,patriotic and visionary can president.
May the love and peace of God whom you serve be with you as you continue the battle against evil in our society.

My loudest AMEN!...especially this christmas period!!!

Peter Okoye prays for ‘money-loving’ Igboson November 05, 2014 at 9:03 pm in Entertainment

Peter Okoye of the singing duo, P-Square, has composed a funny prayer for the ethnic group of south-eastern Nigeria, popularly known as Igbo. Many do argue that the tribe love money more than the other tribes in Nigeria.
Peter took to his instagram page to offer prayer for his kinsmen. Read the prayer below:
This prayer is 4 all IGBOS:
Dear MONEY, since all the ethnic groups in Nigeria, agree & constantly confirm that it is only the IGBOS that LOVE you so much.
Please rise and visit every Igbo person struggling anywhere around the globe…visit them wit all your different clothes like DOLLARS, POUNDS, EUROS and NAIRA.
You may leave out other TRIBES since they keep denying u in public .. Amen!….
If u are proudly lgbo, let me hear a thunderous Igbotic Ameeeeeen!!!.
Ngwa biko bless another nwa afor’Igbo with this message.

Everybody wants to be relevant....who is Dele Momodu?A national clown who has all this years fed from the thieving tables of our elites by promoting extravagancy and stupendous materialism by his so called 'Ovation Magazine'!Showing our youths that all it takes to be great is to make money at all cost,regardless of where such wealth comes from,he encouraged a culture of impunity by always featuring top civil servants,corrupt businessmen and our thieving politicians who plundered our economy and built magnificient houses,cars etc with our stolen wealth,he sang praises for their lavish lifestyles even at a time of overwhelming poverty in our dear land and he got paid for it.
Dele Momodu wld be remembered for promoting corruption in a way never been seen before,only in Nigeria can demons come out as Angels of light!
Btw, why doing his delusional election calculations he forgot that there are states like Plateau,Taraba and even Abuja etc and that Lagos can never be won by GMB and also how Ekiti dissappointed APC and Even APC had to relocate the entire national secretariat to Osun state just to make sure that the so called performing Gov.Aregbe can eke out a win either by crook or by hook!

LagosShia:
there is really nothing to speak.

after the tragedy of Karbala, Imam Ali Ibn al-Hussain (as)-son of Imam Hussain (as)- spoke to the tyrant Yazeed: "is it death you are threatening us with? death to us is a path, and our honor from God is martyrdom".

the enemies of Islam and Muslims have always plotted to silence the message of sacrifice, justice and freedom that Imam Hussain (as) represent. these killings will not work. Imam Hussain (as) lives on!!!!!! our Sunni brothers have nothing to do with the suicide bombings, criminality and killings targeting Shias. this is the handiwork of Wahhabis/Salafists, the slaves of America and Israel. they are the rotten egg in the Muslim body. they target Muslims and try to widen the sectarian gap because they camouflage as "Sunnis", while they also kill Sunnis. yesterday in Iraq over 300 Sunnis from the Abu Nimr clan were massacred by ISIS because they opposed ISIS and their evils. and the Sunnis are seeking help from the Shias. everywhere you hear sectarian killings targeting the Shias, or even Christians, Saudi Wahhabism is at work. all those groups you mentioned have one thing in common: Wahhabism. they kill Muslims, and commit atrocities on behalf of the West (as in Syria), and they are still used to tarnish the image of Muslims as a whole, and spread islamophobia. the only cure to this Wahhabi sickness is for Shia-Sunni unity. we can unite against criminality even if we have our theological differences.

prophet Mohammed mandated muslims to go on pilgrimage in their life time and being one of the five pillars of Islam,most devoted muslims who can afford it,carry out this mandate. During pilgrimage muslims from all over the world visit Mecca and Medina,the second most holiest city in Islam and when Sallah is called,the Wahabbi and Salafist Imam leads other Muslim Ummahs in prayers to Allah,dont you think that one wld assume that Wahabbi and Salafist are more inclined to true knowlegde of Islam and truly practise Islam in accordance to the law of Allah.
And if Wahabbi Saudi truly funds ISIS,then ISIS wont be threatening to blow up the black stone of Mecca or Kaaba,which they claim that by Muslims kissing it during Pilgrimage connotes idolatry....am nt holding brief for Saudi(Wahabbism) but i only think that Sunnis are more inclined to terrorism or radical Jihadism and one can hardly differentiate between other Sunnis and Wahabbi(Sunnis).

aurenflani:
We all know those killing the shia during procession like the one that happened in Zaria.

Young man,people like you are the reason Nigeria has found itself in this mess,for how long are we going to suppress the truth.Every muslim knows that the Sunni's believes that the Shia's are infidels and must be wiped or dealth with.From Iraq-Iran,Yemen-Syria,Egypt-Lebanon etc it has been war between this two groups....but from a neutral point of view and from information available to all,the Sunnis are the most troublesome group,always killing,bombing and maiming Shia's. In countries like Iran where shia's hold sway,they dont kill sunnis,they are more innovative and they embrace science and development but go to any Area where sunnis are dominant or even less dominant,they still terrorise others courtesy of Isis,Al qeada,boko haram etc.
Meanwhile where is 'Lagos Shia',come and speak for your people.

ayukdaboss:
This man, you're making a FOOL of yourself. When the Federal Government and Nigeria Army gives us information (400 Bokoharam killed| 50 Bokoharam slaughtered|Shekau' is dead) we see no evidence...Bokoharam still continues with their killing spree and Shekau' still makes new videos. But when Bokoharam say something, they back it up with evidence (more killings and terror) and our useless government are letting this happen for their personal political benefits.

I will be unpatriotic to Nigeria to celebrate the Mediocrity of this government.

Let me ask you this question, If Bokoharam announces on National TV today and say "Lagosians don't go out today" and The FG and NA says "Go out today, nothing would happen" WHO WOULD YOU TAKE SERIOUSLY?

young man,the solution to this crisis does nt lie fully on the door step of our government but also on the people who sympathise with this group,we are nt fighting an external aggressor,but we are fighting our supposedly brothers,some brain washed youths from far-North,some Kanuri's,some Hausa-Fulani's and sympathisers and sponsors from other parts of Nigeria.The man you went to mosque with yesterday,the politician that addressed a gathering yesterday,a Nairalander you charted with last week,the man man you transacted business with yesterday,the soldier you greeted this morning etc could be a boko haram member,so thats what makes it difficult to fight.
Until this support source is cut-off we may never know peace and in like other climes,at a time like this we need to show a great level of patriotism to our nation and suppress the monster but nt in Nigeria,just everything is politics.

joseph1832:
What tha hell? If GEJ had done his job will these media outlets supposedly support Boko Haram?. GEJ is the one giving these media outlets news and propaganda to spew!.

He should man up and do what a responsive and responsible president should do: "protecting the lives of its citizens".

oh there you come again,remember thesame opposition in alliance with the so-called Northern elders and professionals,more than once insisted that this battle can never be won in the fields since it hinges on religious ideology and they all urged the ruling government as a matter of national emergency to embark on negotiation with the terrorists and as a listening government, attempts were being made to negotiate with the recalcitrant terrorists....posterity will forgive the present government for atleast trying out every available measure at peace,even when we know that this battle is more than what the eyes can see,there are many vested interest in this battle for the soul of Nigeria.
I leave you with the words of former American president JF Kennedy 'let us never negotiate out of fear but let us never fear to negotiate'!
God bless Nigeria!

Obiagelli:
My friend go and sit down. You president ceded part of nigerian territory to a rag tag group in the name of ceasefire just for his 2015 ambition. Nobody is buying your bullshit anymore, nobody is interested in your blame game.

Does it stop the fact that your Shekau has long been killed and that APC wish to keep him alive for cheap political gain!

joseph1832:
Oh so you're saying there's no fighting? How thoughtless of you! Let me tell you something Mr man, have you ever heard of the Hydra monster in greek mythology?. A monster so fierce that it has many heads, if one head is severed another one grows and take the place of the one severed!.

That's how this is, kill Shekau and another person takes his place, 'classic Antonio Gramsci'.

And you omitted the fact that the FG lied to Nigerians: 'No cease fire agreement'.

is either you dont understand the crux of the matter or you are intentionally twisting the whole issue just for argument sake.Op made a clear point,which is on the fact that a section of the Nigerian press are directly or indirectly backing Boko Haram by giving cheap publicity and authenticating the views of the terrorist group regardless of the fact that we have seen videos and proofs by the Nigerian and even camerounian Army that Shekau has been killed in a battle,yet this press mercenaries still want to impose it on Nigerians that the said Shekau is still alive,with all surety!
Beyond politics,we shld all know the limit we play with this nation,yes you may hate GEJ and his leadership style but nt at the detriment of this nation.The opposition has indirectly been fanning this insurgency and little wonder if there will be a country called Nigeria,if par-adventure the win,they ve set a new precedent in opposition for this country.Dont forget that every kin observer is watching them sow a monster and a beast shall they reap.God bless the good people of Nigeria.

Mr President,i totally disagree with you on this.

This is what I thought, most of you guys here don't know anything about war, all you know is about politics, pdp and apc and whatever.
Leave military affairs out of your nonsensical political lives !
It is amazing how some Nigerians are wishing their army evil and are even celebrating what they think is ennemy success, and all this because of politics !
Rats have more sense than such s.cu.ms

The truth is that politics has eaten deep into the fabrics of Nigerians,people are diviided on political,religious and ethnic line,it may surprise you to know that even some APC stalwarts may be celebrating the perceived fall of Mubi,because to them they ve scored a cheap political goal.Funny enough,one day we may wake up and discuss Nigeria in the past,for any house that is divided among itself,especially in times of crisis will not stand.
If you are a Nigerian Army personnel and you listen to comments made by some even educated Nigerians who shld know better,you will conclude that Nigeria is nt worth dying for.At a time when our support is needed most,people are here insulting their president and they army,even if Nigeria falls today,many of the politicians instigating these propaganda,will take the next available flight and jet away with their families and loots.
Did you nt observe the unprecedented number of posts on the so called fall of Mubi alone on Nairaland.Boko haram is getting enough cheap publicity just because of politics.
