Those categories of men then were mentally developed than what we have today as young, check most of them on NL can you equate their reasoning to that of an average adult? Laziness, sex and various kind of delinquent and social vices has eroded their average thinking capacity, every one now is looking for an easy way to success. The spirit of hard work and perseverance is left for only a few.don't worry many of our youths are comfortable of occupying the positions of PAs and errand boys for now.

This is a democratic government and therefore such actions should never be met with brute force... The people have rights too... The Army should have found a way to resolve the matter no matter how long it takes... making an enemy out of the people is sad... These are the same people you claim to protect... As for the president being quiet, he's got nothing to say... Without the people there would be no army... It takes a country to have an army so when u don't have people to rule you won't have any army to protect the people... buhari seems to be stuck in his dictatorian ways and so does not feel the hurt of the people... This shouldn't be partisan this is not about APC OR PDP this is about human life... 300 people gunned down for protesting... and the president has kept quiet... wow... We r in trying times... Buhari got the votes of the people... now he has no respect for the same people who put him there... Nigerians never learn.

One week after the deadly carnage in Zaria, Kaduna State, involving the Nigerian Army and members of the Shi’ite Community, President Muhammadu Buhari remains silent. For a President whose preferred method of public communication has been widely described as “body language”, the message telegraphed by his silence is less than eloquent, unsettling and disquieting.
The exact sequence of events leading to the encounter between the Shi’ites and the Army will, hopefully, be unraveled by the judicial commission of inquiry to be established by the government of Kaduna State. Some things are already quite clear however.
Many people were killed in the encounter. Some have described it as a “massacre”. The victims included young children and women. The leader of the Shi’ites, Sheikh El-Zakzaky, has not been seen since then. The army initially said it took him into “protective custody”. At best, this is not a lawful procedure under Nigerian law. Subsequently, the army claimed it handed him over to civil authorities for prosecution for as yet undisclosed crimes. The army is not a prosecutorial authority for civilians. So on what basis are they deciding that he should be prosecuted?
Rather unfortunately, and quite oddly, in a presumed secular state, the Shiite movement, like many islamic and christian religious organisations, appears to have its own long-term history of breaking the law, and of impunity, that had not been called to order by previous administrations, especially by holding processions or taking over and blocking major roads with utmost disregard for other road users.
Yet the reaction of many, including Nigeria’s bilateral and multi-lateral partners has coalesced around the view that the conduct of the military in response was both brutal and disproportionate. From within Nigeria, many people and institutions, including the Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), as well as the Christian Association of Nigeria have called for an independent investigation.
Even more, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, a former Permanent Secretary for the Interior and Joint Intelligence in Nigeria’s federal government, himself from Zaria, has regretted the fact that the “military does not appreciate the fact that it handed over to the Shi’ites a victory it will exploit to the detriment of national security”.
Amidst this rising crescendo of condemnation and concern, and whilst considering the fact that President Buhari must be awaiting a report of what transpired leading to the massacre, his studied silence appears quite disturbing. He ordinarily ought not to foreclose the need for showing concern by talking to Nigerians about the ill-fated incident.
And, in line with democratic governance, it behoves the President to constantly engage with the public on matters of national interest. Yet, since the incident, the only response from the Presidency has come from a text message reportedly sent by an official spokesperson of the President, Femi Adesina, to a newspaper in which he described what happened as a “military affair”, whatever that means.
The president’s silence is disconcerting for many reasons. First, the Zaria Massacre is the latest in a long and gruesome list of military operations since 1961 that have ended in civilian bloodbath. It occurred in the same weekend that the President went to Kaduna State, first, for a music festival and, then, to accept an honorary doctorate degree from the Kaduna State University, a curiously dubious conferment from a university that does not itself run any doctorate programme. That the lethal sequence that followed is associated with the presence of the President in the state should surely be of concern to him.
Second, President Buhari is not just anybody. He is a two-time Commander-In-Chief, a retired army General and one of the most respected and decorated officers in the history of the Nigerian Army. As a General, what happened in Zaria must be of interest to him. As Commander-In-Chief, he has command responsibility for what the military did. This is not a mere military affair. It is his affair. By keeping quiet, he reinforces the impression that he explicitly instructed the military operation in Zaria or implicitly condoned its manner and outcomes. If this is not the case, then he should say so.
Third, there is disturbing evidence in his silence that far from learning from the mistakes of his predecessor, President Buhari appears willing to repeat the errors that turned Nigerians against the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan. It bears recalling that President Buhari rode to the Presidency on the crest of public revolt against the way his predecessor showed scant regard for the lives and sufferings of Nigerians in the hands of Boko Haram extremists. To this attitude, President Buhari promised change. He did not promise being mute. Rather than offer change on this occasion, he has chosen to go mute.
Fourth, President Buhari’s answer to allegations of Shi’ite lawlessness cannot be an outlaw army. His silence could encourage open-ended military operations against unarmed civilians. The state can contain citizen lawlessness, but state lawlessness invites anarchy.
Above all, as the only officer under our constitution elected – no less – by Nigerians from every state and the Federal Capital Territory, President Buhari swore to protect Nigeria’s constitution and the values that underpin it, including the obligation to run a humane government, respect human life and guarantee due process. When citizens are killed in encounters with the armed forces, the responsibility of government is engaged. The people who died are Nigerians. A humane government must show that it cares. By remaining silent, the President appears inhumane and encourages the impression that he neither cares about human life nor about his oath of office.
It is already late but there is still time for the President to correct the course of happenings. The President who promised change cannot keep quiet when soldiers under his command leave scores, perhaps indeed, hundreds of killed civilian citizens in their wake. He needs to speak to Nigerians and the world urgently and reassure everyone about his commitment to the values of constitutional government.
The whereabouts of the leader of the Shi’ite community, Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, must be disclosed. He should be released from custody forthwith or charged before a court for crimes known to the law. Contrary to their claim, the Nigerian constitution has no place for the military to hold a citizen in “protective custody.” Any persons, civilian or military, implicated in the incident in Zaria, should be held to account resolutely.
While PREMIUM TIMES acknowledges the right of, as indeed salutes, the Kaduna State government on its initiative to set up a judicial commission of inquiry into the incident which occurred within its state borders, as announced by Governor Nasir El-Rufai, still we need to be aware that the scale of the problem is national, and the army, as one of the parties involved, is a national institution.
Hence President Buhari, as Commander-In-Chief of the Armed Forces needs to get proactive in the national engagement with what transpired and in achieving justice for those unjustly violated and murdered. If he fails to do this urgently and resolutely, his promise of change could begin to ring hollow.

crosbreaka:
it is now getting very obvious and logical why the army would escalate the road clash and later storm the Shiite Hussainiyah (religious center) and the house of Zakzaky to kill at sight and demolish properties after the army chief had already passed, and seven were killed on the road.

it looks like El Rufai had plans all along to demolish their worship center and ban their procession; just waiting for the right excuse and time. El Rufai cannot do without demolition; its in him like Peak Milk! the question now is will these peaceful people be allowed to conduct their religious procession if they seek government cover and permit? or would they be discriminated against? the military action and crimes committed against civilians are not justifiable.

Exactly One year ago when I wanted to travel to my village for Christmas and new year festivities, I decided to travel with train. My major aim was to witness Jonathan's Railway Transformation by myself.
As usual, I didn't dissapoint my nairaland admirers and enemies.
I captured some moments within and outside the train which I shared in this thread.

https://www.nairaland.com/2077558/unforgettable-train-experience-pictures

Today, APC government is taking glory for projects they don't know how or when it was done.


Below is pictures of the minister of transport, Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi commissioning the same train that took to village last year.

I SMELL SCAM.

EternalTruths:


By the time you guys are through blaming Jonathan, 2019 will be over

olasheed:
This is Nigerian Army and not Nigeria Police Force. Rubber bullets and tear gas are not weapons for Army

Guyman02:


Did you understand the Hausa being spoken or you just made up your mind from the gesticulations of the Army officers. Did you know what the guy was explaining to the Army officer in Hausa?. NO you dont

PDPmamapiss:


You are right. they are all ISIS members. If they take 10 of those guys for example, most of them can not identify their biological parents or their village anywhere in Nigeria.

femu:
Civil disobedience can be handled by the police or mopol not army slaughtering people.

chrixus:
So after being shot and humiliated ? Am sure there is more to this than not just allowing the COAS free movement... Your followers were killed yet u still allow them dine with you #mtchew

sammysammy111:
or re they saying wat d sect did was right? make una make me understand

Hgold:
Sahara Reporter is a bloody liar. it was a thief and not a Shiite member.

Ndeewonu:

After the elections, about 40% of NIGERIANS believed that GOODLUCK JONATHAN was a hero...
Three months after, over 50% agreed...
Six months after, over 60% agreed...
Surely, before one year, at least, 90% of Nigerians will agree
Shame of people who used deceit and lies to grab power. A BIG shame!!!

cabaliciouscabal:



U dis pple ar hypocrites, if d govt fails to act, u will be among d first to criticize Buhari, saying bcus dey ar Muslims dats is Y dey fail to check dia activities.


Thank God dis president is not like Mumu jonathan dat waited for Boko Haram to go out of hand b4 he started making moves to quell dem.


Anybody dat foment trouble should be brought down without fear or favour.

LagosBoi2:
I am a supporter of the ruling APC govt but I have a bad feeling about the killing of these shites, They don't have any history of violence

The approach of the NA is quite wrong, this could be the beginning of the rise of another violent muslim sect, President Buhari should step in and calm the situation because I can see their leader is a recognized sheik and i don't see his followers forgetting this bloodshed so soon

networkgenuis:
Very sad.
I don't have to be a Muslim to condemn the barbarity of the NA in its entirety. People, lets shed the toga primitivism and embrace reason. It is quite saddening that the majority of the people in support of the rascality of the NA are even fellow Sunni Muslims. What a shame! This is exactly how you guys tacitly supported BH because they were terrorizing only Christians, until the snake you all groomed with your criminal silence came back to bite your sorry àsses.

Yes the Shi'te guys broke the law by blocking the road, but do you have to kill hundreds of unarmed people in cold blood just to prove a point? Has religion robbed us of our humanity?

oluwaahmed:
I hav issues wit d NA reports on attack on d COAS convoy. 1st of all, u mean a co-ordinated attack by an islamic group will not result in any casualty on d side of NA i.e an ambush by an islamic sect was unsuccessful wit no casaulties(i had 2 say it twice 4 u 2 rily tink am) also ow cme d army neva attacked or killed dis guys islamic members wen GEJ was in power? Also y d sudden rush to annihalte sheik zakzaky + his followers & family members? Wat info do dey posess dat is life threatenin 2 dem? Why has d army no put pics of bullet riddled vehicles in d convoy of d COAS since his convoy was supposedly ambushed. NA & lies R synonymous 2 mosquito & malaria.
