I don't know about you guys but I would have loved to see some pics of him "drowning his face in pages of the newspaper"

CreampieAngela:
This is very intresting. At first, namdi kanu instructed you fools to burn Yoruba owned Churches. Later, it was that Jesus Christ is not the name of the son of God but Chukwu Okike Abiama will be the god you will worship when you eventually get your Biafra country. Now it is about Catholics not being Christians but idol worshippers.

I really like the way this Biafra BS is turning out. Biafra republic must be actualised in Jesus name. Amen

[size=18pt]Ojukwu On Islamization And Arabization Of Black Africa[/size]

https://dailypost.ng/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/ojukwu.jpg

The Biafran struggle is, on another plane, a resistance to the Arab-Muslim expansionism which has menaced and ravaged the African continent for twelve centuries. As early as the first quarter of the seventh century, the Arabs, a people from the Near-East, evolved Islam not just as a religion but as a cover for their insatiable territorial ambitions. By the tenth century they had overrun and occupied, among other places, Egypt and North Africa. Had they stopped there, we would not today be faced with the wicked and unholy collusion we are fighting against. On the contrary, they cast their hungry and envious eyes across the Sahara on to the land of the Negroes.

Our Biafran ancestors remained immune from the Islamic contagion. From the middle years of the last century Christianity was established in our land. In this way we came to be a predominantly Christian people. We came to stand out as a non-Muslim island in a raging Islamic sea. Throughout the period of the ill-fated Nigerian experiment, the Muslims hoped to infiltrate Biafra by peaceful means and quiet propaganda, but failed. Then the late Ahmadu Bello, the Sarduana of Sokoto tried, by political and economic blackmail and terrorism, to convert Biafrans settled in Northern Nigeria to Islam. His hope was that these Biafrans on dispersion would then carry Islam to Biafra, and by so doing give the religion political control of the area. The crises which agitated the so-called independent Nigeria from 1962 gave these aggressive proselytisers the chance to try converting us by force.

It is now evident why the fanatic Arab-Muslim states like Algeria, Egypt and the Sudan have come out openly and massively to support and aid Nigeria in her present war of genocide against us. These states see militant Arabism as a powerful instrument for attaining power in the world.

Biafra is one of the few African states untainted by Islam. Therefore, to militant Arabism, Biafra is a stumbling block to their plan for controlling the whole continent. This control is fast becoming manifest in the Organisation of African Unity. On the question of the Middle East, the Sudanese crisis, in the war between Nigeria and Biafra, militant Arabism has succeeded in imposing its point of view through blackmail and bluster. It has threatened African leaders and governments with inciting their Muslim minorities to rebellion if the governments adopted an independent line on these questions. In this way an O.A.U that has not felt itself able to discuss the genocide in the Sudan and Biafra, an O.A.U. that has again and again advertised its ineptitude as a peace-maker, has rushed into open condemnation of Israel over the Middle East dispute. Indeed in recent times, by its performance, the O.A.U. might well be an Organisation of Arab Unity

-Emeka Ojukwu (1933 - 2011) was the only president of the short lived Republic of Biafra.

Honestly my hope for this country has dissipated. Am ashame to be a Nigerian. There is no justification whatsoever for the wanton destruction of lives and properties in the middle belt. No justification at all.
I want to use this medium and call on all middle belters to defend themsleves. These evil should not be tolerated any longer.

The embarrassing reality was that slavery in Nigeria underwent a ‘slow death’, to use the opportune term of Hogendorn and Lovejoy (1993). Although Lugard’s pronouncements in the early post-conquest period seemed to suggest it would no longer be tolerated, it was evidently difficult to simply halt the process in northern Nigeria in view of how deeply it was embedded (Ubah 1991). Moreover, and this is part of the ambiguity of the colonial attitude, it was necessary to keep traditional rulers on board as part of a longer term strategy to counter real or imagined radicalism. Klein (1998) records similar problematic attitudes in the Francophone regions of West Africa. Even relative liberals such as Temple (1918) argued that the system of domestic slavery should not be summarily dismantled. Slaves whose original ethnic identity had been abolished were still working within the Hausa system in the first quarter of the twentieth century (Figure 10). A decree finally abolishing slavery was only promulgated in 1936, although by this time, almost all those former slaves who maintained an ethnic identity had left for their home area (Olusanya 1966).

This is a long term plan to turn nigeria into islamic country. After killing all the northern christian, the next will be south west followed by south east, then their mission will be accomplished. It may take 200years to achieve. It is there long term vision to secure the life of there children.

Thankyou for the link. Pls can you create a thread about this issue of fulanis to spread the word? I know this thread will not make frontpage thats why I need your help to write about the genocide going on in the middle belt.
The fulanis are becoming a terro and nightmare to peace loving people not just in middle belt but all over Nigeria. The people's way of life has been disrupted by killings and destruction. They can no longer go to their farms or the market for fear of attacks. Their homes are no longer save, and federal government is doing absolutely nothing to arrest the situation. The era of grazzing need to stop.
The fulanis must start ranging their animals or there will be trouble.

It can hardly be doubted that the practice of placing large numbers of pagans under Fulani District Heads and supporting the authority of these by the powers of government when and where necessary, led to an extension of Islam. … The pagan headman tended to start wearing Muslim dress especially when they were called to meetings at the District Headquarters and this donning of the garb of the Muslim often proved the first step to Islam.

Open country made a permanent relocation to the hills more difficult, and many peoples had to resort to hiding in caves to escape the mounted raiders. In 1979, the Gbari peoples west of modern-day Suleja (previously Abuja and a notorious slaving centre) were still able to identify the caves formerly used a refuges in the slaving era.

The Berom of the Jos Plateau, for example, built compounds entered by passing through a maze of narrow tunnels, with blind alleys and misleading passages, enabling the inhabitants to attack horsemen.

A related consequence of the slave trade was to establish outposts of Hausa traders in zongos all across the Middle Belt (James n.d.). Towns such as Keffi and Kontagora became important centres for the slavers and thus more general hubs of trade routes and so were eventually converted into chiefdoms (Hogben & Kirk-Greene 1966). In Adamawa, the Fulɓe remained dominant in the towns while even Kanuri settlements such as Lafia were retained (Sciortino 1920). These in turn became important economic centres, serving long-distance trade, increasingly foodstuffs, as the urbanisation following colonial rule increased demand from the cities. Another aspect of the transformation of the Middle Belt was the establishment of rinji or slave settlements within the territories of the indigenous populations (Hill 1976). These were inhabited by a core of Fulɓe and rumada or settled slaves (Bruce 1982). The rumada were slaves who no longer retained an ethnic identity and so were
less likely to run away. Slave settlements could not be maintained without the consent of the local populations, since such villages would be too vulnerable to attack. In the case of Gindiri, south of the Jos Plateau, the rinji became the focus of a trade between the local Fyem [=Pyem] people and the Hausa. More strikingly, an important source of the slaves was not raiding but purchases from other nearby ethnic groups.
Bruce (1982:193-194) cites examples of Ngas and Zaar [=Sayawa] men selling their daughters for cash to increase their social status. Males were not sold in this way, but the Fyem apparently engaged in the kidnapping of children on bush paths for transformation into slaves (see also Machunga n.d.).

jakiedudu:
If President Buhari refuses to do something about the wanton killing of women and children in the middle belt by evil Fulani herdsmen, this country will go up in flames. This is the plain truth.
Cattle rustling is the excuse and reason for the killings. However, majority of those involve in cow rustling are the fulanis themselves. We all heard reports of cow rustlings in places like Kaduna, Zamfara, Katsina, Kebbi and others. Do google search and you see. All of these places are fulani states except for southern Kaduna. If the fulanis can rustle cows in their own states, they can do it anywhere in Nigeria.
The issue of the middle belt is different because the whole thing is planned. Cow rustling is deliberately executed to give way for fulani wind of terror on innocent people going about their normal businessess. The killings are well organised and coordinated to wipe out minorities in the middle belt of Nigeria. It is genocide!
It has never been worse like this before. Enough is enough.
If federal government does not do something about the issue of fulani and their primitive way of life, the people will take laws into their hands to defend themselves.

What are you saying? What brought abrogation into this this issue now?!

"O Prophet! Lo! We have made lawful unto thee thy wives unto whom thou hast paid their dowries, and those whom thy right hand possesseth of those whom Allah hath given thee as spoils of war, and the daughters of thine uncle on the father's side and the daughters of thine aunts on the father's side, and the daughters of thine uncles on the mother's side and the daughters of thine aunts on the mother's side who emigrated with thee, and a believing woman if she give herself unto the Prophet and the Prophet desire to ask her in marriage a privilege for thee only, not for the [rest of] believers. We are aware of that which We enjoined upon them concerning their wives and those whom their right hand possess that thou mayst be free from blame, for Allah is Forgiving, Merciful."

Macelliot:
Calm down!
BishopMagic opened a thread; in the thread, He was tagging some Christian sects Pagans, Devilish e.t.c with a threat.. He is busy dividing Biafrans along religious lines..
How does he want Biafrans who belongs to that sects to feel...
I in particular as a Biafran, I was hurt. It is like a kinda type of threat to me as a pro-biafra...
Pro-Biafrans who belongs to the sects he was lamblasting will start disassociating themselves from the Nnamdi Kanu's Biafra where there won't be freedom of belief in anything and of worship.....

I Replied him in this thread because I find it more secretive than replying him in such an open thread he created..
If I got the opportunity to reply in privately, I would have done so that doing it here...

I'm sorry!
