It may be better for you, except in the case that their official language is french, but I think Yoruba people are the majority there, so it is far better there for the Yoruba people.

@ those clamoring for a break

If you think that Arewa will survive for 1 year you need to think again. There are many tribes in the Arewa region and i tell you Southern sudan will be boyscout compared to Arewa.

The true Hausas Know themselves. The refugees you will find in states that will emerge will be so much. I even foresee that Niger delta will be overrun by numerous crisis. As a young man I was brainwashed with the thinking that Hausas never contributed anything to Nigeria. I see reason now why God made Nigeria.

The problem is not with Muslims or Hausa. The problem is with the Civilisation that comes out from the quran. The Northern people are the greatest followers. Our governors have failed to establish a true state. we still think we live in a UNITARY STATE. There are Islamic state that are secular and one of note is Turkey but it is fighting tooth and nail.

NIGERIA NEEDS FOLLOWER CITIZENS. NIGERIA MUST COME FIRST .

WE JUST NEED 10 MILLION NIGERIANS TO MOVE NIGERIANS FORWARD. WE don't NEED SO MUCH JUST A DEDICATE FEW.

THE SAME DEDICATED FEW THAT HAVE ACCESS TO MEDIA AND KEEP REPEATING THERE IS NO HOPE FOR US AS A NATION. MY ONLY PROBLEM WITH OBJ WAS THAT HE SHOULD HAVE RECRUITED 4 MILLION RIBADUS ACROSS NATION. HE SHOULD HAVE TAKEN THEM FROM 14 YEAR 15 YEAR OLD DOWNWARDS.

BY THE TIME OBJ WAS LEAVING OFFICE THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN 22YEARS - 23YEARS. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT YAR ADUA CAN DO THIS NOW.

Please TOUCH anything but not the Holy Qur'an!!!

You Southerners are Murderers, Racists, and very Inprudent of yourselves. The whole of Nigeria is in a mess now, Hausa-Fulani Muslims are selling their houses in Jos, southerners are selling their houses in Kano, people are going back to their roots. I see no reason then why this country will still remain ONE when the Forced Marriage is NOT working at all.

Whatever will happen in Arewa, its not your concern.

QAre u really a northerner?u do not sound like one.

How do 'Yan Arewa sound? I am indeed from Arewa and forever Dan Arewa.

I guess the Human Rights Watch are doing their best in revealing the truth.

Time will tell.

But it is quite unfortunate that Hausa Fulani (Muslims) were killed much more than anyone, therefore in this case, it is a matter of what contributed to more death, I bet even in Kano, when there is fighting, Police sometimes shoot, but not upto that number (90) this indicates there is an order for that before they started the act, and since non-Muslims were killing much more than the Muslims it means non-Muslims were carrying arms/weapons more advanced than the Muslims, most probably they were carrying guns.

It is therefore necessary to investigate the killings throughly and see who are those behind those acts, the reasons while this things keeps happening is that the so-called indigenes are always favoured when it comes to matters of Judgment, I bet, all the Indigenes of Jos caught in the crisis will be released without charge, but the non-indigenes will be charged and most probably be sent to Prison, the result is this Indigenes will still raise more violence in the state.

The truth maybe difficult to be accepted, but Hausa-Fulani of Jos are very peaceful loving people, and I bet, the Indigenes of Jos are worried about Hausa-Fulani people being participating in the politics of Jos. The end thing is "Why will the party nominate a Hausa-Fulani as candidate since they knew he was not an Indigene? Why?

MrCrackles:
I heard the surah is powerful
Unfortunately, i don't understand Arabic!

It isn't a Surah, it is a verse in Surah Al Baqara (2:255)

You can use English Transliteration to recite it, or there are many websites like this http://www.geocities.com/mutmainaa/dua1/ayat_al_kursi.html You can listen to the Verse from their website.

ikamefa:
it is anywhere in the koran?

It is at Verse 255, Surah Al Baqara (2:255)

It is called "The Verse of the Throne" in English

The gangs killed with other arms but not guns, as such the police can stop them with tear gas and other less harmful weapons, but not real guns

"They Do not Own this Place"
http://www.hrw.org/sites/default/files/reports/nigeria0406webwcover.pdf

None of the rioters were carrying guns, and therefore the police can be able to stop them with rubber bullets or shock, but not shoot to kill approach.

@ Seun

The duty of the police and military was to stop the bloodshed generated by this extremely tragic episode of inter-communal violence, not contribute to it. The Nigerian authorities should immediately set up an independent investigation into these extremely serious allegations.

Where and How did they lost their credibility, it seems any one with the truth has lost his credibility in this world, abeg, I need to migrate to Mars wooo.

This story is even more disturbing.

The Human Rights Watch have accounts on the issues here;

http://www.hrw.org/en/news/2008/12/19/nigeria-arbitrary-killings-security-forces-jos

It seems this is a Massacre against the minority (Hausa-Fulani Muslims) in Jos.

I am pleading all Hausa-Fulani Muslims in Jos to leave the town and go to places far north like Kano, Sokoto, Borno, where they will peacefully.

Imagine place like Kano, the governor ruling now has his root to Bornu (But it does not matter), they don't care, because he is a Muslim and from the same empire.

I have so many stories to tell regarding the Powers of Ayatul Kursi, some are very secret that I cannot tell here, but on one occasion, I was unable to sleep for so many days, and my body was paining me all over (some years ago), when I told my mother about the issue (before she passed away), she told me to be reciting Ayatul Kursi before sleeping and after waking up from sleep, I did that the next night, and my sleeping was tight and smooth, and waked up without any pain and the bad dreams I was having, few days I realized that I was being followed by Devils, because the things that were causing me have sleepless nights was baby crying (we don't have a baby in the house), children playing in our compound, television noise (sometimes I standup and go to the living room and see the tv is off) water pouring from the bathroom, but when I go to the bathroom, I will see nothing, there was even a time when I saw head above me (just head without body) but was unable to shout. All these nightmares and more, I was very scared if the night comes, but since I learnt the Ayatul Kursi, I never go to sleep again without it, and all these things disappeared, no more coming.

With the help of Allah, when ever I recite Ayatul Kursi I'm feeling fully protected from ANYTHING, I was even wondering if a bullet can stroke me if I recite Ayatul Kursi (Allah knows best).

Ayatul Kursi is a verse in the Holy Qur'an which have immense power of Protection from any acts of Evils.

Allahu la ilaha illahu
Al hayyul kayyum
La ta'a kizuhu sinatun wala naum
Lahumma fis samawati wama fil ard
Manzallazi yashfa'u indahu illa bi iznihi
Ya'alamu ma bayna aidihim wama khalfahum
Wala yihiduna bi shayin min ilmihi illa bima sha'a
Wa si'a kursiyyuhus samawati wal ard
Wala ya udhuhu hizbu huma
Wa huwal aliyul azeem

Ali (Radiahallahu Anhu) narrates,"I cannot understand how a person, who is a Muslim, and owner of reason (intellect) can spend the night without reading Ayatul Kursi. If you knew the benefits of it, then you will never discard it under any condition". Rasulallaah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) stated ,"I have been given Aayatul Kursi from the treasures under the Arsh of Allaah and it was not given to anyone before me".
Hadhrat Ali (Radiahallahu Anhu) says, "From the time I have heard this, I have never passed a night without reading it".


Abu Huraira (Radiahallahu Anhu) says that Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) made me the guardian of the Zakaat of Ramadaan. One thief began to steal from it. I caught him and told him that I am definitely going to take him to Rasulallaah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam). He said,"Leave me, I am destitute and have a family". I (Abu Huraira) left him. In the morning Rasulallaah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) asked , "What did your prisoner do last night.?" I (Abu Huraira) said, He spoke of his great need and family for which I felt pity on him and left him." Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said,"He has spoken a lie and will definitely come again." I (Abu harraira) understood that the (the thief) will definitely come again because Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said so. Thus I kept watch at that same barn. He (the thief) came and began stealing in handfuls. I caught him and threatened to take him to Rasulallaah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam). The thief pleaded with me to leave him as he was needy and had a family and that he will not repeat this. I (Abu Huraiah) felt pity and left him. In the morning Rasulallaah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) asked him the same question as before and his answer was the same. When the same thing happened for the third time, Abu Hurairah said to the thief,"This is the third time. Each time you say that you will not steal again and each time you steal again." The thief said,"Leave me, and I will teach you such words through which Allaah will benefit you.". I (Abu Huraira) inquired about those words and the thief said,"When you go to your sleeping place, then recite Ayatul Kursi completely. Allaah will stipulate a guardian for you and Shaitaan will not come near you until the morning. I released him. In the morning Rasulallaah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) asked,"What did your thief do last night?" Abu Hurairah narrated what had transpired. The Sahabah were most enthusiastic to gain virtues. Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said,"He has spoken the truth although he is a liar. Oh Abu Huraira, do you know with whom you were talking to for the past three nights." I said "No". Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said that it was Satan.


It is mentioned in Kitaabul Dalaalil from Hadhrat Buraidah (Radiahallahu Anhu) that he had wheat (crops). He said, "I sensed that there was a shortage in it. While sitting quietly in the night I saw a female Jinn sitting on the crops . I caught hold of her and said that I will not let her go until I had taken her to Rasulallaah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam). She said that she had a family and swore on oath that she will not do so again. I released her. I came to Rasulallaah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and informed him about this. He said that she was a liar. When the same thing happened on the second night, she (the female jinn) asked me to release her. She said,"I will, in exchange teach you such a duaa that from amongst us none will ever come near your crops. When you retire to your sleeping place then read and blow Ayatul Kursi on your goods. I left her. When I informed Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) about this he said that she had spoken the truth although she was a liar.


38) Hadhrat Abu Huraia (Radiahallahu Anhu) said that Rasulallaah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) stated that whosoever reads "Haa meem al Mu'minoon" upto "al maseer" and Ayatul Kursi in the morning, will be protected until the evening and whoever reads both of these in the night will be protected until the morning.


39) Hadhrat Ibne Abbass (Radiahallahu Anhu) narrated that the Bani Israeel asked Musa(A.S.), "Does your Rabb sleep?" Musa(A.S.) said, "Fear Allaah". Allaah ordered," Oh Musa, your nation has asked you whether your Rabb sleeps? Take two glasses in your hand and stand with it for the whole night." Hadhrat Musa (A.S) did as he was ordered. When on third of the night passed, he fell on his knees but stood up immediately. During the latter part of the night, sleep overcame him and the glasses fell and broke. Allaah Jala Shanahu said, "Oh Musa, if I sleep then the sky will fall on the earth and destroy it just as the two glasses fell from your hands and broke. " Then Allaah Ta'aala revealed unto Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) Ayatul Kursi.

Read this and Reason


Ironically no one seems more ignorant of his history today as the Muslim. Muslims, like others, certainly know that whoever controls the past controls the future. But what they don’t seem to wake up to is the corollary, whoever controls the present, too often, controls the past. This is not simply to explain why they remain ignorant of their past but to make them appreciate the fact that those who control their present will not easily give up their past. As Muslims did (or are still doing) with their freedom and independence, they may have to do with their past, indeed their past is an important component of that freedom, for it gives them their identity and therefore the freedom to be what they are.

For, as history itself testifies, freedom is never given on the platter of gold. But without it no nation, or indeed individual, makes any meaningful progress. Our past gives us not only our identity and our worth, but also our bearings and our goals. It presents to us our role models and show us the things worth fighting for. Our future therefore is in discovering our past. This journey of discovery is taking us to some of the forgotten lands of Islam, the region of West Africa which had been an integral part of the Muslim world for over a millennium and which today holds over half of Africa’s Muslim population. We are visiting one of the greatest Muslim figures of this region.

Arewa is a Hausa language term meaning "northern" or "northerners". Its popular usage in contemporary Nigeria sometimes suggests a northern Nigerian regionalism or proto-nationalism. In both Nigeria and Niger, Arewa is the name of very specific historical entities: in Niger a pre-colonial state, and in Nigeria a small local government region.

Specific meanings
"Arewa" is derived from the Hausa word for "North", "Areoun", the "-wa" the typical "People of" suffix. In Niger, it has a very specific meaning. Arewa (Niger) is a small pre-colonial animist dominated state of the Dallol Maouri valley, known for the indigenous "Maouri"/"Mawri" Hausa culture. In Nigeria, Arewa Dandi is a "Local Government Area" in Kebbi State, and has been called simply "Arewa" in the past.

In Nigeria, AREWA (SPELT CORRECTLY) means beautiful in the Yoruba tribe.

Nigerian regionalist usage
In post independence Nigeria, some use the word as a general term for Nigerian Hausaland: a contraction of "Arewacin Nijeriya" (Northern Nigeria). Much of the north was once politically united in the Northern Region, a federal division disbanded in 1967, and was previously home of the seven Hausa states, later the Sokoto Caliphate in the pre-colonial period, and the Northern Nigeria Protectorate under British colonial rule.

Northern Nigeria regionalist groups, such as the Arewa Consultative Forum, the Arewa Media Forum based in Kaduna, and the related Arewa House and Arewa People's Congress are examples of this usage. These groups do not advocate independence from Nigeria, and focus on cultural unity of the so-called Hausa-Fulani community which forms the majority in the north of the nation.

Within even smaller regionalist circles, the term Arewa Republic is used as to describe a speculative future region, entity , or state that coincides with the pre 1967 Northern Region, Nigeria

"These are the communications of God which We recite to you with truth, and God does not desire any injustice to the creatures."
(Al-Imran, Chapter #3, Verse #108)

"The likeness of what they spend in the life of this world is as the likeness of wind in which is intense cold (that) smites the seed produce of a people who haw done injustice to their souls and destroys it; and God is not unjust to them, but they are unjust to themselves."
(Al-Imran, Chapter #3, Verse #117)

"O you who believe! be maintainers of justice, bearers of witness of God's sake, though it may be against your own selves or (your) parents or near relatives; if he be rich or poor, God is nearer to them both in compassion; therefore do not follow (your) low desires, lest you deviate; and if you swerve or turn aside, then surely God is aware of what you do."
(An-Nisa, Chapter #4, Verse #135)
