7victor: I am telling you the truth because I saw everything.
They were selling knives and cutlasses.
People who didn't have cutlasses were buying them.
Almost all the Christians I knew fled the state before the election.
I will never forget how I planned to hide in the empty classes of Usman Dan Fodyio University Sokoto when the problem eventually start.
The school is far from town in another local government area and was on holiday.
If there is problem in town, the school would be safe because there is no way they can go there since it was empty and is far from town.
I took the decision because I planned to travel 3 days to the election. But by then, all the luxurious buses were taken away from Sokoto because of the fear that the buses would be burnt down if Jonathan won. It was certain that any buses belonging to the Southerners would be burnt.
So many Southerners left the state and there were no buses going to the south.
My mom called and expressed dismay over my plight.
So I took the decision to hide in their University.
Buhari just wanted to cause civil war but Jonathan gave him power. All their children were overseas and they mobilize people to come out and kill.
NotoriousBiggyS: The southerners protested against a bad system of government and police brutality nation wide. The northern youth are protesting for the release of people involved in murdering a young girl in her prime for expressing her feelings. Check and balance !!!!!!!!!
This is an opportunity for those in south to ask for a peaceful split (if they where not busy on Instagram).
feckos: What saddens me most is the fact that I share a country with these animals.
I have nothing against Islam and I have met good Muslims, but anyone who can take a life in the name cum defense of God is as beast and should be treated as such.
Now that the killers of Deborah have been arrested, can they also be killed/executed soon? That way people will learn not to take law into their hands.
This is a civilised society for heavens sake!
Buhari and others in government should stop paying lip service to the many evils in the land and call a spade what is.
People like the man above should live in Iraq, not Nigeria. Religion has destroyed the small brain he was born with. He's mad and don't belong among sensible people.
Nigeria is not a civilized society. The environment is self-evident.
Bonesbreaker: His political career is finished in East and south south and some south west his a bloody co Muslim who even buhari is better than is better he Rest oh because he will never be president of Nigeria
He would need a pastor as running mate. Nigeria has short memory. The Buhari Formula has proven to work.
Maxymilliano: Ever since Boko Haram, ISWAP, Bandits started mass massacre in the North, they have NEVER called for protest, they are very much okay with that because they are all defending Islam and uplifting prophet Muhammad.
Religion of peace indeed.
No such outrage when people were killed and kidnapped in the name of an Islamic Caliphate.
Fragility6: In 1995,a group of 9 wahabists were arrested for doing something similar during Abacha's regime. 8 were sentenced to death. The last person was spared coz he had connections. He was handed over to Mutallab (father of the Christmas day bomber and former first bank chairman). Mutallab pushed the killer into banking since he had a degree in economics.Man later went on to become CBN governor.The name of that man is Sanusi L. Sanusi... In Asari's voice 'how many times will they tell you that Nigeria is not for you'
The man Sunusi beheaded was innocent...
Here she provked them but all the people that killed her are future academicians and teachers.
Corporate2020: And she deserves death for that ? You need psychiatric evaluation. I am a Muslim, but I am not mentally deranged like you.
That is what they call projection (you see in me what is abondantly in you). My guess is you have mixed Islam and Christianity and ALL the people that did that are nuts.
The audio started with "Holy Ghost Fire! you can not do anything against US"... So people were already correcting her but she wouldn't listen. Even someone at the background was shouting her name because she said things capable of provoking riot.
This is their culture (it's like going to the Oba of Benin Placa and wearing his necklace, they would physically cut off your head, you don't do that type of thing there).
Anyway, I hope the emams let it cool down (as today is Friday, you that said you are Muslim, go to Sokoto and tell them the last paragraph of your comment, I am sure it would be the last thing you do). You can insult Allah but if you insult Muhammad (like YOU just did), they will not forgive you.
Corporate2020: Why Prophet Muhammed (SAW) no come fight the girl himself nah? Nah Prophet supposed fight for and protect his followers, not the other way round
Freedom34: ...and in each case what was d outcome? Not until he changed his VP candidate did he make a headway.
Don't forget he changed it twice. Pimped Pastor Tunde Bakari then used Osibanjo (while Tinubu modeled his campaign like Obama, using thee slogan "change", wearing suit and showing his family). Many factors were involved (including the weakness of Jonathan).
Freedom34: ...and in each case what was d outcome?
It's Jonathan that respect human life, if not Buhari was a joke. His job was to provoke violence.
But truly; the Igbo cheated themselves with all these unknown gunmen not allowing them to vote or have PVC.
It pains me to say this, but a strategist know that you can secure Aso Rock democratically without Igbo support (regarding number of registered voters). Lack of foresight on the part of Kanu and his cronies.
70% You forgot to include d VP factor into d mix. The north fears thatknows that there's just but a step BTW d 'VP' and 'p' and dt If anything 'happens' to d 'p', based on d constitution, d 'VP' will be elevated. They fear a repeat of 1966, and rightfully so. This will count against atiku were an obi to be his VP candidate.
100%
100%
The con man Buhari ran with Chuba Okadigbo as VP (long before he started pimping pasters as his VP).
We will keep on ignoring the "elephant in the room".
It is either a Christian (secular) staff that made the post for him... Or the "Turaki Adamawa" has spent too much time in Dubai and Abuja that he has forgotten the culture of Northern Nigeria (in relation to their extrem religious beliefs).
My brother Sokoto is historical know for nothing but Islam. Did you even watch her video? Their are things you shouldn't say to extremist. At the background of the audio, her mother or elder sister was shocked by the comment and called her name (before the audio ended abruptly).
OluchiDelly: You did not make any sense. He should have because of political ambition shied away from condemning murderous act right?
I am a realist. Go an learn political science. You think Atiku cares about her life more than his ambition? Even Trump and his "basket mouth" can not criticise Islam while visiting Saudi Arabia.
Ibime: Atiku too dey jump jump. Most of those Almajiri support death for blasphemy and na dem dey vote pass. By the time all the Imams twist story and broadcast Atiku matter for all the mosque say him support wetin the girl talk, he no go win one vote for North.
Atiku's presidential ambition might be over. If he is rejected by the Islamic scholars, it is over for him.
Even me, I am not going to jog this morning because I don't know what they would have preach as early as 5am.
In the extended audio recording, you can hear an adult called her name at the background. Not knowing it was audio recording (the evidence is concrete).
Anyway, it's 'damage control time' (if he can fix this political mis-tweet). I really think he might lose many Muslim votes for condemning her MURDER. It is taking laws into their hands. Let government or even Sharia Commission handle the matter.
There are genuine persecution of Christian and a massive wave of ethnic cleansing of the Indigenous Christian Minorites Southam Kaduna and Benue. HOWEVER, this girl provoked these people. "Let sleeping dogs lie." Those that murdered her were students and not trained village raiders (or Jihadist extremist).
I remember the expelled Emir of Kano did the same when he was a youth (he beheaded a man that was falsely accused of blasphemy). Islam is not just a religion, it is a way of life/thinking (and insulting their Mohammed is unforgivable to them. Period).
Enskynelson: Can you preach against killings for blasphemy in your mosque? You are just here bragging what you don't know. Why do you think your clerics are quiet about it. Ask yourself. On Nairaland here, how many times has any article of Islam being against killing for blasphemy made FP? Ask yourself!
The issue is, they don't play with blasphemy. That is one of the many way the reverence for the Prophet has been preserve for over 1600 years so far. Look at the Northern Christian girl that ought to know better, made some careless remarks that was perceived as being disrespectful (to the most respected man to them).
