PoliticsRe: IMN Protests Across Nigeria Over Death Of Ayatollah Khamenei by boxypane: 8:56am On Mar 03
naptu2:
Background

1) I wrote a series on this thread about things that happened in northern Nigeria in the 1970s and 1980s. There was a lot of tension because there was competition between Saudi Arabia /Sheikh Gummi The First (who were promoting Sunni Islam) and Iran/Sheikh Zakzaky (who were promoting Shia Islam).

2) At this point we need to address an issue that has often cropped up on Nairaland since 2005. Iran has not been involved in Al-Qaeda, ISIS, ISWAP and those other terrorist groups (there's always a nairalander that props up with that false claim, but he is usually schooled). Al-Qaeda, ISIS, Boko Haram and all those other groups say that they are affiliated to Sunni Islam, while Iran is the biggest Shia country. They are of different denominations and they are actually opponents.

If you are looking for the group that Iran supports in Nigeria, look no further than the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN) led by Sheikh Zakzaky.

3) I have written about the IMN and I'll simply tell you why I wrote about them (because that's the most important thing and it's what you need to know).


The IMN has a habit of staging marches and these marches have become a problem.

The IMN usually stages marches on their holy days and you'll see large number of IMN members walking down an important expressway in Kaduna. Nobody can pass when they are marching. This often causes unbelievable traffic jams and disturbs the lives of people living in the area.

To make matters worse, the IMN do not believe in Nigeria, they do not believe in the constitution or any earthly authority. Therefore they've often had clashes with government.

Sometimes government tries to ignore them, but General Sani Abacha's regime detained Sheikh Zakzaky, some of his children were killed during the Goodluck Jonathan era and many of his followers were killed when they blocked the road (because they were marching) and they refused to allow the chief of army staff (General Buratai) convoy to pass.

Generals in the convoy came down to beg the IMN members to move and allow the convoy to pass, but IMN youths were threatening the generals and hitting their chests (I actually saw the video of IMN youths tapping the chests of generals).

Then the bodyguards opened fire and were able to clear a path for the convoy to pass. (If I remember correctly, General Buratai was travelling between Kaduna and Zaria to attend the NDA graduation ceremony, but the IMN had blocked the highway).

Soldiers invaded the IMN compound later that night.

4) I once created a thread an in that thread I praised the inspector general of police because he did something that I had always wondered why IGPs had not done in the past.

This was the first Trump tenure and President Trump launched an attack that killed a senior Iranian general.

The inspector general of police put all policemen in Nigeria on high alert after that attack. That was the right thing to do.

You see, the IMN has a habit of staging marches anytime Iran is attacked and this always causes a lot of disruption. I want you to understand what I mean by disruption, so I'll tell you about something else.

The Army invaded Zakzaky's compound and IMN members also rioted. Therefore Zakzaky was arrested and had many court cases that were separately instituted by the Federal Government and the Kaduna State Government. The IMN staged marches any time Zakzaky appeared in court and I need you to go to YouTube and watch videos of those marches and see the chaos it caused in Abuja and Kaduna.

5) The purpose of this post is to say that the security services in Nigeria (especially in Abuja and Kaduna) need to be on high alert because the IMN might stage more marches to protest against the attacks on Iran.

All these issues were caused by PO himself. Why did he leave the LP to join a band wagon of fraudulent identities, snakes and betrayals. It's a case of you can't eat your cake and have it.
Nobody should blame the current ones in power for this, because it makes them look smarter, something they are not close to.
ADC will implode after the primaries.

For them to issue a statement it means they are feeling the heat already.

Obviously they'll have to abolish Sharia or split the country so they can practice in peace.
Even at that, they won't still mind their business. The North is more of a problem to the country than solutions...
HealthRe: I've Been Having Insomnia For Over A Year by boxypane: 10:54am On Feb 27

Babysho:
I've been having sleepless nights for over a year now. Back and forth with doctors and sleeping meds.

I'd sleep around 10 or 11pm and be up 2am or 3am, wide awake like I wasn't just sleeping, unable to sleep back. I noticed recently that my heart rate would be high when I wake.

I'm this close to quitting my job because of insomia.

I've tried hundreds of remedies, chamomile tea, all sorts of sleep inducing fruits, sleeping medications, yoga, warm bath, nothing works.

Help.
So sorry bro.
Chai, the blessing of sleep, even when I had mountains of worries, I dey sleep well o. Problem or work stress cannot stress me like that o. But thank God always.

FamilyRe: 50 Years Without An Asset? What Is Your Advice? by boxypane: 3:50pm On Feb 23
Love800:
Someone is looking for skills, ideas to start life back at 50s and peeps here are telling him his being alive alone is an accomplishment. Lol.

So if he continues living the so called life with no knowledge of what can help him in life, how can he progress!

When i said that people who are too religious are like cancer to the society, some people will still defend it.

OP, just browse through the comments and look for someone who is talking reality.
And 50 is to old to start pursuing life. You can still do it, but that particular age will slow you down.
You just need strong resilience and determination to find what skill which is trending and suitable for your age to do.
You took it right out of my thought. Yes its good to be grateful to God Almighty, at the same time find something befitting of that age doing sir .

I once had a gay friend back in varsity and sometimes he'd come to my residence and we'd take a nap together on my bed and nothing would happen... And sometimes we'd just chill in my room while I'm in nothing but my underwear because one thing about me is that I'm allergic to clothes whenever I'm indoors... grin grin grin
