Putin about to invade Nigeria.

topcatking:
Pelosi has come, she will go. Believe me when I tell you that, one morning, the Taiwanese will wake up to see that , not only have they been invaded, but blockaded also.
The sad truth is , in a situation like that, the West cannot and will not do anything.

If you think the US will attack China and risk a missile strike on the US mainland, you better think again.

Worst case scenario will be the same tack they took with russia: impose sanctions and try to isolate china (which in the global community, is impossible).

Watch and see.

You know nothing about current global geopolitics.
China is not Russia!

gasparpisciotta:
China might invade Taiwan

The US cannot go about with this idea of toying with the egos of the other world powers especially Russia and China.

Might?

Okay.

Femifasola:
Only Ogun state does that rubbish. I don't even know where they learnt it from

All states in Nigeria are involved
Don't be fooled by propaganda.

Fake story with fake pictures.

So what?

I remember Buhari visiting church in 2014.
He never needed to visit mosque.

Politicians associate with churches to get votes while they influence Imams to take care of mosque angle.

Lifestone:
This guy could talk about protecting BBC because he doesn't stay in Nigeria.
We all know that publicity is the oxygen that fuel these terrorists, why give them. Hiding in USA and supporting what the American press won't do to their country.

No. The terrorists survive on ransom money, weapons and cowardly army/government.
Publicity is useless to them.

Nonsense.
There is nothing unethical about the report.
Nobody who is not already a bandit or their supporter will watch the interview and then decide to go join them.

The interview did not glorify banditry, in fact, bandits were portrayed as bloodthirsty barbarians
who justifies their atrocities with illogical entitlement mentality.

BBC have interviewed terrorists such as Alqaeda and Taliban leaders over the years.
The bandits are not special.

The question Nigerians should be asking is why the government which definitely knows
where the terrorists are camping have refused to engage them?

If Buhari has acted years ago, BBC will have nothing to report.

Kadaria Ahmed is angry that the BBC outed the bandits.
She has always been against exposing the identities of the marauding bandit
because she is supposedly against "ethnic profiling".

Kadaria is in the habit of defending her beloved Fulani bandits and would prefer the north burn than anyone point out the elephant in the room.
Here is one of her previous defense.

Old news.
She has been found.

Not even $1 will get to you, so don't panic.

thekingofafrica:
and how did he turn America upside down ?

By beating Trump the messiah.

her uncle said she was dropped unconscious under Efab Bridge.

If she was dropped off.
Then money has exchanged hands.

That is not a Nigerian woman.
She is 100% American.
Illiterate bloggers take note.

AlphaTaikun:
I read a Colonial document published in a history book back in the early 1990s and Yorubas who are Muslims were in the majority in the 1950s census. Population projections are permitted all over the world within every "10 year census cycle," so we can infer that Yoruba Muslims are still in the majority from the 1950s census.

It is better you didn't even reply.
You read an unknown colonial document published in an unnamed history book.
Just because a book has "history" in its name doesn't make it divine.
In fact, there are so many fictions in history books than any other discipline.

I once interacted with some boys who were enforcing Oro(you will understand
if you are Yoruba) and preventing early morning worshippers from going to mosque.
About half of them had muslim names and I am sure if I dug deeper, more
would have at least have a "muslim" surname. A naive observer would have concluded
that muslims dominate everywhere but a smarter one will realise that sometimes
a name is just a name.

It is impossible for Islam to have dominated for centuries and still had no legacies or monuments
throughout Yoruba land.

This will my last response here on this thread. I have a deep disdain for the kind of bigotry and disdain for facts and statistics I see here.

It is good you are running away.
This is not a place where you spout unsubstantiated claims and expect to be applauded.

Stop trying to rewrite Yoruba history, traditionalists had always been the majority until the beginning of the
21st century.

inoki247:
Nothing wey u fit use satisfy Nigerians if dem add religion and the result didn't go some people way u will see people start ranting and debating about it nd start calling it fake data....


wetin u wan use satisfy Nigerians...


We can see it in INEC PVC collection where some people don dey accuse INEC of Manipulating statistics just because isn't going dere way....

Whether you add religion or not, some people will complain and call it fake data.
There are many issues such as states, region, South vs North that can cause
doubt in the collected data.

AlphaTaikun:
@CommonSense1967,

You're absolutely correct!

Islam has been in Yorubaland since over 500 years ago and it came via Mali Empire to the Oyo Empire through long-distance trading.
Iwo in Osun State was the initial epicentre of Islam 500 years ago... Long before Uthman Dan Fodio's Fulah great-grand parents were born. The Kanuris too have practiced Islam for over 1000 years via their contact with the trading routes of the Sahara to North Africa.

A 1950s census result containing religious beliefs of the folks that I read back in the 1990s had Muslims of Yoruba descent being in the majority followed by adherants of the Yoruba religion [Ifa]. In the 1890s census, Eko [Lagos Island] had more adherants of the Yoruba Religion [Ifa] than Muslims who came second, while the Christian groups among the Yorubas and some foreigners were very small. The different religions that are collectively part of Christianity are much more recent in history in Yorubaland. One thing that perhaps also helped
Islam to grow in many places was the acceptance of polygamy which the other foreign religions fro Europe were against[/b][/i]

Where is the source for your data?
It doesn't matter if Islam has been here for 10000 years, the issue here is current population
not age of arrival.

I'm not a Muslim so there is NO bias here. Just someone who agrees with historical FACTS... NOT infantile propaganda!

Cheers!

It doesn't actually matter what religion you are. You can be as biased as anybody else.
Do you even know what it means to be a Muslim?

OBJ is right.
One of the most stupid decision of NPC is to remove religion from the questions out of fear.
Sensible countries collect as much data as possible for proper planning, here we are running from data.

booblacain:
I have always thought Hausa and Fulani are one and the same people. At least that is the impression Inhave always been given.

To outsiders, Nigeria is also "one".
Hausa vs Fulani civil wars have been going on for decades in remote areas.

It doesn't make the news because their elites, mostly Fulani control the narrative.

oluseyiforjesus:
Sowore can only become president if only he starts from grassroot, go n win house of assembly in ur state then u climb d ladder up.....you are still young.
How I wish you can join d OBIdent movement.

Sowore can't become the president even if he does that.
Most Nigerians have no idea who the guy really is.

Nozino:
Omo. I’d rather stay at home doing nothing than 30k sha. What would 30k do?

Buy food.
Stay at home and die of hunger.

gulfer:
Be honest, how do you survive solely on that or are you not paying rent and transportation

Rubbiish:
15k can't feed u, ur daughter & wife for two weeks, so how do u do it? I want to learn

His wife may be the breadwinner.

Cyberterror:
Nothing like rerun there. A simple majority with at least 25% in 24 states is all Tinubu needs to cross the line and he will get it at first ballot.

What if he could only get 25% in 23 states?

Solosolojohquay:
She is black forget all those Indian film there are many brown skin indian all those Bollywood actress and actor passes through a long casting and audition process.

She is not black.
She is Indian.

Nostring:
you're the dumb and the sick hypocrite.. na today women like u dey hire ppl to do such?.... R. I. P to the poor girl by the way

So if you are in charge of finding the culprit, you will start by looking for the imaginary woman
who hired them rather than the actual executioner?

No wonder Nigeria is reported to have an average IQ of 70!

Karlovich:
There's a likelihood a woman did it, they are also capable of r*pe and stabbing/butchering other people.

I think there is also the likelihood an alien or ghost did it after all they have also been reported to haunt people.

Opmic:
A woman actually paid men to do this to her neighbors daughter in the same Edo State for rituals what can you say about that

How is that relevant in this case?
Even if they were hired the rapist and murderer is the one who actually committed the crime.
The mastermind will be charged as well but even a kid knows the difference.

Empiree:
Nigeria's problems are Christians

You are right, imagine if all christians disappear overnight, Nigeria's problems will all go away.
Nigeria will become as developed as majority muslim African countries such as Niger Republic.

Back to the issue.
Religion matters when the electorates of a political unit with significant population such as nations, states or local government says it is.
Religion doesn't matter when the electorates of a political unit with significant population says it does not.

There is no rule to it.

Realists:
The Bitter truth is that without this divide and rule, tactics. Our gods of men's won't be known or become relevant.

Pls let's pray for better governance! Enough of threatening!

You don't understand the basic fact that a society decides how it is governed.
Isn't it odd to you that all the examples you used are from SW?
Even at that only one example is relevant; that is Osun state where there is
near population parity of religion adherents.

As to Awo's case, 1979 is a very different time, ethnicity rule supreme then and he didn't win.

Never ever project a state issue to a national discourse.

treesun:
mAY BE A Spy!

Do you mean there are no African-American spies?

FYI, all ambassadors are unofficial spies.

bjdon:
Not True, in fact history shows that when many countries are forced to look inwards, they actually do ok. For example South African in the 80's was under international sanctions yet was able to dvelop it's own Nuclear weapons program. Iran has been under sanctions for decades let is developing drones and warships. Cuba was under US sanctions for decades, yet has one of the best health systems in the world

The fact that you used SA as an example shows how ignorant you are of international affairs.
SA did not develop nuclear weapons, Israelis were mostly behind it.

Moreover, if isolation is good, the apartheid which boast of highly skilled professionals will still be in charge of SA today.

In fact, a lot of struggle against apartheid involved pressuring the west to isolate them.
Every smart person knew that the apartheid was on its last leg when the west unanimously cut them off.

Cuba's regular propaganda is that America is not allowing it to develop due to isolation.

Another anti-globalization country is Zimbabwe, it has been ejected from the "world order" for decades
and ended up not being able to feed itself.

Sowore is partly right.
But Sowore is one of the worst presidential candidate and he is grossly unqualified to be a Nigerian president.
