Majority of northerners don't even know who the guy is,it is like Igbo and delusions are like 5 and 6.

wirinet:


Why can't Muslims practice their religion in their homes, mosques and schools? Why impose your religion on the public particularly non Muslims.

In the North you imposed sharia and started destroying the business (beer business) of non Muslims. Now you want to impose hijab dress code on Lagos State government against their wishes.
Now you are threatening to convert Benue to Islam by violence.

Are you people insane? Do hitting your head on the ground 5 times a day destroy some brain cells?

Hypocrisy 101,you are against north imposing Sharia and preventing you from drinking alcohol,but you are in support of preventing young Muslim girls from wearing their hijab,do atually hear how you sound?

blazesam:
Muslims always want to force their religion anywhere. Come and do it in Benue too muric, let see if things wil work for you... Nonsense

How is allowing Muslims to practice their religion forcing it on anyone? Did you ever hear a case in northern school were Christians are forced to wear hijab. Seriously,you people are trying to start what you can not finish,and what the Bleep do you think you can do,if Muslims say that Benue most convert to Islam,do you think there is any force on this Earth that can stop us,last time I checked,we still control the military and the police,so you better watch it,nobody care about your religion. So allow others to practice their religion in peace.

OfeNmanu:
I see Nigeria diving into Muslim and Christian nations soon.

Ok,do your very worst. Go and divide it if you can.

NaijaRoyalty:
Muric should be declared a terrorist organization immediately

Seriously Bleep you.

Blakpot:
If true, these are probably Tuaregs Islamic terrorists.
I wont be surprised if their Fulani terrorist sympathizing brothers in Ondo assisted them to carry out the attack

Bleep you,what brings Tuaregs into this. Do the shooter in the video look Tuareg to you.

successmatters:


Nonsense, you northerners are bringing in violence and burning markets to damage Peter Obi chances but God Pass una.
Nothing you do can stop Peter Obi, so stop burning your goods to accuse IPOB.

You atually believe Peter obi have any chance,����������. Seriously you are very stupid.

Russia ‘using weapons smuggled by Iran from Iraq against Ukraine’
This article is more than 1 month old
Iraqi militias and others say undercover networks being used to supply materiel such as RPGs and anti-tank missiles

Russia-Ukraine war: latest updates

Russia is receiving munitions and military hardware sourced from Iraq for its war effort in Ukraine with the help of Iranian weapons smuggling networks, according to members of Iranian-backed Iraqi militias and regional intelligence services with knowledge of the process.

RPGs and anti-tank missiles, as well as Brazilian-designed rocket launcher systems, have been dispatched to Russia from Iraq as Moscow’s campaign has faltered in the last month, the Guardian has learned.

An Iranian-made Bavar 373 missile system, similar to the Russian S-300, has also been donated to Moscow by the authorities in Tehran, who also returned an S-300, according to a source who helped organise the transport.

Using the weapons-trafficking underworld would signal a dramatic shift in Russian strategy, as Moscow is forced to lean on Iran, its military ally in Syria, following new sanctions triggered by the invasion of Ukraine.

The developments also have huge implications for the direction and volume of trade in the international weapons trafficking business.

New phase of Ukraine war brings no obvious route to end fighting

Iraq has hosted US and western troops since the 2003 overthrow of Saddam Hussein, and the US has trained and supplied various Iraqi army and special forces units to defend the Baghdad government against insurgencies. After two decades of war, the country is awash with weaponry.

Much of it has passed legally into the hands of Iran-backed Shia militias, which are opposed to the US presence in the country, but since 2016 have been officially incorporated into the Iraqi armed forces as part of the fight against Islamic State.

Known for their efficiency in dismantling Islamic State’s “caliphate” – and for their brutal treatment of Sunni civilians – these groups have become powerful actors in Iraq’s security establishment.

RPGs (rocket-propelled grenades) and anti-tank missiles in the possession of Hashd al-Shaabi, the most powerful Shia militia umbrella, were transported to Iran through the Salamja border crossing on 26 March, where they were received by the Iranian military and taken on to Russia by sea, said a commander of the militia branch that controls the crossing.

Ḥashd al-Shaabi also dismantled and sent in pieces two Brazilian-designed Astros II rocket launcher systems, known in Iraq as the licence-built version Sajil-60, to Iran on 1 April, according to a source within the organisation.

“We don’t care where the heavy weapons go [because we don’t need them at the moment],” one Hashd al-Shaabi source said. “Whatever is anti-US makes us happy.”

Three cargo ships capable of carrying such loads – two Russian flagged and one Iranian flagged – crossed the Caspian Sea from Iran’s port of Bandar Anzali to Astrakhan, a Russian city on the Volga delta, within the timeframes outlined.

“What the Russians need in Ukraine right now is missiles. These require skill to transport as they’re fragile and explosive, but if you are committed to doing it, it’s possible,” said Yörük Işık, an Istanbul-based maritime affairs expert. “It’s also not the kind of activity that would be picked up by satellite imagery as they can be transported in large boxes and regular shipping containers.”

Mohaned Hage Ali, a fellow at the Carnegie Middle East Center, said: “That kind of sophisticated weaponry [rocket launcher systems] would make a big difference on the ground in Ukraine. Ḥashd al-Shaabi controls much of the border region with Iran, which would make this transaction easier.

“Other countries such as China are having to be very careful about giving weapons to Russia now, given the new sanctions situation. And Iran, as part of that axis, wants to make sure Russia doesn’t lose ground in this conflict.

“If the Putin regime is destabilised that has huge implications for Iran, particularly in Syria, where Damascus is dependent on Russian air support and Russia coordinates to avoid direct conflict between them and Israel.”

Extensive economic sanctions imposed on Moscow by western nations since the 24 February invasion have included bans on dual-use goods – items with a civilian and a military purpose – such as spare parts for vehicles and certain types of electronics and optical devices, as well as items with obvious military uses.

Russian manufacturers have reportedly been hit hard by the new restrictions, with Ukraine saying that the country’s main armoured vehicle plant, as well as a tractor factory, have run out of parts for making and repairing tanks.

Revised western estimates are that 29 of Russia’s original battalion tactical groups are now “combat non-effective” from an invading force that is estimated at 125 battalions – which is about 75% of Russia’s total army - in the six-week-old “special military operation”.

Military supplies depleted on both sides but Russia retains advantage

The significant losses have yielded few gains: Moscow for now appears to have abandoned its initial attempt to seize the capital, Kyiv, instead drawing down and repositioning its ground forces for a renewed assault on the Donbas region, in the south-east of the country.

Airstrikes and artillery assaults are expected to continue on the cities of Kharkiv and Mykolaiv as well as the besieged port of Mariupol.

Last week, the Ukrainian intelligence services accused Georgia of helping Russia receive sanctioned military materiel, in another potential sign of the scale of the Kremlin’s new efforts to use international smuggling networks to aid its campaign in Ukraine.

Georgian special services received instructions from the country’s political leadership not to interfere with smuggling channels from “east Asia” designed to circumvent new western sanctions, Kyiv’s intelligence directorate said in a statement.

Georgian officials said the Ukrainian claims were baseless. Relations between the two post-Soviet nations have sharply deteriorated since the conflict broke out over the pro-Russian government in Tbilisi’s refusal to impose economic sanctions on Moscow.

US officials have also said that Russia has asked China for military-grade weapons and aid in support of its Ukraine operation.

Russian ally Serbia took the delivery of a Chinese anti-aircraft system in a secretive operation over the weekend, the Associated Press reported, amid western concerns of an arms buildup in the Balkans at the same time as the war in Ukraine which could threaten the fragile peace in the region.

Robertgreene1:
Interesting....
But I do rather jejely remain in ds shithole than be detained by those Turkish European wannabes...
Cus Turks no just get joy at all...just like them Arab cousins...

Turkish are Central Asians,they have no connection with Arabs.

Maxymilliano:
The bold headline from a major northern News outlet is enough to incite and cause a reprisal

And how did your southern newspapers report the killing of Deborah,was the headline not the same? Just say you are a hypocrite.

And were is the outrage,C.A.N are quite and all the hypocrites that were screaming last week are no were to be found. This guys are terrorists,and if you are supporting them, don't think you are better than Boko Haram.

By banning election,this geniuses are increasing the voting power of the north.Thank you IPOB.

First mistake is thinking you can kill a Hausa man in Abuja and get away with it,last time I checked,Abuja was carved out of Niger and most Nigerlite are 100% northerners.

Starzo:

and yet you'll rush a visa to Christian dominated Norway of taliban Afghanistan

You Muslims are just fooling yourselves

The world knows you're good for nothing terrorists

Same way you rush to Muslim dominated U.A.E instead of South Sudan,you Christians are just fooling yourselves.

Puskas:
I wonder how much BBC was paid by this evil government to say this trash. Nothing like fake news here. Christians are being killed in their large numbers in the northern part of Nigeria so where's the fake news here

Just because you lack common sense and are delusional that doesn't mean the rest of the world is.

Maybe the same reason they were quite when a bus full of Muslims was burnt down in Platue state last year.

AntiBMC:
All Muslims in the North are terrorists.

All iyamuri in the south are drug dealers/terrorists. See how stupid you sound.

Seriously, North is in serious trouble. Anyone supporting this is future Boko Haram. This is why north is the way it's.

Truthisunique2:
salty tears

Since when did you jihadists care about Christian's

This is a state war don't bring religion into it

You do realize that Palestinians Christians also received the same treatment as the Muslims. You the realize Israel don't give a Bleep about Christians.

Validated:
Are you not confused? What has Christianity got to do with this? Someone was killed and Isreali government has demanded investigation into the circumstances surrounding her death, yet you come here to rant and confuse your gullible folks. How many of the Hamas sponsored terrorists has Isreal demanded to know the curcunstances of their death? Because those ones are known terrorists and all terrorists have their place in hell fire.

They first try to blame the Palestinians as usual.Then later Insisted on investigating the insident their selves. And we all know the outcome of their investigation always it never them.

rattlesnake:
islamic fruit

Middle eastern fruit.

Fuckyoumod:
Sand storm is simply a sign of a barren and unproductive land. An economic liability to other states and Nigeria.

Sand sand everywhere!

Look, why should Adamawa be a state?
Don't tell me about the transformation of Qatar, UAE and Saudi etc from sand to whatever.
Post the G.D.P of your productive state and compare with with Adamawa state.

This is Africa, sand will remain sand.

Post the G.D.P of your productive state and compare it with Adamawa.

AntiBMC:


According to a gworo-chewing brown-teethed almajiri who bathes urine and eats BS for dinner. Lol.. okay.

You genius do realize that the photos you just posted is of South Sudan,and have nothing to do with Fulani.

No more Russian and Saudi gas,now all the Western countries will truly kiss Nigeria a+ss. Any person that think IPOB will get any form of support from the west is dreaming. Easy access to weapons for Nigeria military,if Igbo are smart,now will be a very good time to stop this Biafra thing.

ivolt:

Lies.
He used Saraki's diplomatic immunity the only time he visited US after he was indicted.

Bro seriously you are stu+pid,how will that even work?

D.N.A test of members of his family says he is part Jewish/Somali.

grandstar:


Do the Hausas see themselves as their slaves? I doubt it. That is the issue.

From the history I learnt in school, the Hausas before the coming of the Fulani jihadists were largely nominal Muslims. The Fulani johandist made them observant Muslims. I am sure had Dan Fodio and his boys not conquered the Hausas, they would probably be mostly Christians today.

Also, the Fulani and Hausa commoners are basically one. The Fulani have been greatly Hausaaad (forgive my new invention), with many not able to speak Fulfude, the Fulani language. It is only the Fulani in Adamawa that have not been fully tainted by the Hausas. That is where Atiku Abubakar and Aisha Buhari are from.

Zahra Indimi, Buhari's daughter finds it difficult to speak Hausa. Her native dialect is Fulfude and not Hausa.

You do realize that most of the fighters to fought for Dan- fodio are not even Fulani. You do realize that most of the poor were over taxes by the Sarkis,and they join the jihad cause of frustration. Before the Jihad, Kingdom like Gobir and Katsina taxes were over 20%, after the Jihad it was reduced to 2.5%. Hauses were already Muslims 300years before Dan-fodio was born. Check the names and years of the kings of Kano and compare them with the year Dan-fodio was born.

Burruchaga71:
Igbo youths of nowadays are not the same as youths of yester years. So forget story, I know what am saying.

Ok if you say so.But how are you going to stop the extra millions of our brothers crossing the northern boarders? Are Igbo youths in charge of the immigration,or are you in charge of INEC? Like i said empty treats,you are just 5%

Burruchaga71:
We all know how northerners generate their populations. Thanks to Chad and Niger. But this time around we are ready for them fire for fire.

Sorry but how are you ready,by dashing empty treat online?

shilefan2:





North Cyprus!

Check the poverty rate/hunger in Cyprus and compare with west Africa. Turkish Cyprus standard of living is higher than yours,so how are they doing bad. And North Cyprus is not a white country,North Cyprus is Turkish and Turkish are Asians. Moldova, Romania, Albania,Kossovo,Masadonia. All this are shitty countries and all are white.

nakaman:
north is very far from wisdom

And your drug smuggling east is swimming in wisdom.
