I think that the only people capable of reforming Islam are the Yorubas.


Yorubas have redefined Christianity as can be seen with the Afro-Caribbean spiritualism they combined with Christianity (Celestial Church).

The Yorubas have a rare chance of becoming the race of people to reform Islam and this can only happen if they shed away any authoritarian link with Sokoto.

SHTFguy:
Kazim88, ask yourself who made the Sultan of Sokoto the permanent head of the Nigerian Traditional Rulers Association.

Diademk07:
Lmao.. It's you folks that are crying to the world because some people asked you to leave to your landlocked red mud region, not I.

Tell me how you want to achieve your biafra when you don't want to leave for your landlocked region.. The point is we all want you folks to leave so that your hateful hearts can be concentrated in your region.

Obi1kenobi:
Why do they have to leave the North. Will you shelter and feed them and find livelihoods for those that leave the North? And why are you generalizing the comments of some Igbos as the actions of all Igbos? Why does any Igbo man going about his business in the North have to abandon his livelihood because of what ranting Igbos online have been saying? Do you also apply this logic to all Northerners outside the North....or do you think only Igbo people insult other tribes? Have you ever been on Northern forums before and read their posts about other people?

Yyeske:
I warned of this scenario earlier, I never support any killing, God knows but you guys must learn one or thing about the implications of hate speeches

laudate:
What they said was that your people "should leave the North, by October 1st." They never said they would kill all southerners in the North. Afterall, your folks had been saying they wanted to leave Nigeria long before then, not so? Read, listen and comprehend....

Kazim88:
If you northerners have 1% sense... You should have follow his case in court.

Why would you people threaten genocide in innocent civilians that were loyal to the North....

You people should have threaten Kanu... Insult Kanu, infact insult his parent... not genocide against a whole tribe that are independent of Kanu behavior


You guys don't know what you step ur foot into..

That Kanu said... is not a zero good excuse for genocide.... Go get acquainted with International law on genocide and racial discrimination.

Kanu has nothing to do with does people in the North... their only crime was that they are Igbos... which is a crime against humanity.

igbodefender:
Good! A clear sign that the world will never accept repeat of 1966 pogrom in 2017! Anti-igboists take note! Don't do anything that will rouse the ICC!

Kazim88:
They were banking on the bullets from Buratai Barrels.... thinking we are still in stone age.

Buratai shooting would be a blessing to Biafra.

Quit Notice... a blessing to biafra..

Romancing Arewa Youths... Another blessing.

When they become international Criminals... that is the point the would sue for peace and dialogue, hopefully it's not too late

kp3tech:
North sees UN, US and Southern Nigeria as their even though the trio been trying to save them from been wiped out.

Kazim88:
I told my friends cases like this would happen after UN demanded for the Arrest of Arewa Youths .

bunch of animals... brainless.

abbey621:
Settling out of court is an admission of guilt, the court would have to determine if the case has any grounds, they would then have to determine if the defendants were culpable but even if they were I see no way that Buhari wouldn't step in and pay those financial compensations, chicken change if you ask me and finally I don't know where you got your facts that buratai has multi million dollars investments in the US but I would like to know your source

Kazim88:
They would not be killed... but depending on the evidence.. the plaintiff could be award to a tune of 150 million US dollars

aboto77:
What if this huge crowd Nnamdi Kanu is mobilizing match straight to government house to demand good governance? What if they match straight to police/army barracks to demand a stop to extortion of money from drivers? What if the crowd are protesting arrest and prosecution of corrupt politicians who have squandered our commonwealth?

Why do we have so much strength yet decided to channel it wrongly? Why did we decide to wrongly apply our strength? So we will carry flags, uniforms and buses to gather in a city where the roads are not motorable? And we will all smile and shout #biafra right? I think we are not getting it right. I think.

Lets gather to demand something reasonable and you will have my support. Lets demand that our leaders be transparent. Lets demand something that will begin the transformation of our cities/states and not what will make one individual appear "supreme".

By the way, did Nnamdi Kanu arrive Aba with helicopter? Because, the last time I checked,there is no good road around there, no, not even one!

I am for #onenigeria. Nigeria can work!

TheCabal:
Poor masses. Once you hear US/UK/Oyinbo your brain shuts down.

Do you know how many treaties Nigeria and the US have signed? Not counting joint agreements, investments, information exchange and bloc voting power at the UN. You really think the US, will ever give a strategic country like Nigeria anything more than a romantic slap on the wrist.

Secondly, these lawyers are not from the US government. Just some paid legal mercenaries. Sahara douche bags did not even mention which law firm they are representing.

Like I said, poor masses can't even comprehend the concept of a sovereign state.

Lawyer from United States law firm, Fein & DelValle PLLC, have filed a suit against Major-General TY Buratai, the Chief of Army Staff; Mr. Willie Obiano, governor of Anambra State; Mr. Okezie Ikpeazu, Abia State governor and 13 others in the[b] US District Court for the District of Columbia[/b].

GoroTango:
Its a very ignorant perception. Even in core northern states like Borno and Kebbi there are indigenous christian communities with populations in their hundreds of thousands

GoroTango:
I had a good laugh when i read that Nigeria is the most dangerous country to be a Christian. Then how about the tens of millions of Christians who peacefully attended church today? Buratai and the army may have been a little high handed when dealing with IPOBs, but let's not forget the police officers that these so called peaceful protesters threw over the niger bridge to their deaths

Klington:
prove them wrong please

In the case, styled John Doe, et al v. Turkur Yusuf Buratai, et al (Civil Action No. 1:17-cv-0133), the plaintiffs are seeking compensatory and punitive damages to secure justice for the Igbo people, prevention of genocide, ethnic cleansing or extermination of Christians in Nigeria by radical Islamic Hausa-Fulani terrorists.

Lawyer from United States law firm, Fein & DelValle PLLC, have filed a suit against Major-General TY Buratai, the Chief of Army Staff; Mr. Willie Obiano, governor of Anambra State; Mr. Okezie Ikpeazu, Abia State governor and 13 others in the US District Court for the District of Columbia.


The suit is a sequel to a trip the lawyers undertook to Enugu between 19 and 24 August, during which they said they were able to gather facts and conduct research to advance the Torture Victims Protection Act (TVPA) lawsuit filed before the US District Court on behalf of 10 anonymous plaintiffs. The suit is against 16 individuals alleged to have had a hand in extra-judicial killings and torture of Igbo people, Christians, and those with critical political viewpoints.

In the case, styled John Doe, et al v. Turkur Yusuf Buratai, et al (Civil Action No. 1:17-cv-0133), the plaintiffs are seeking compensatory and punitive damages to secure justice for the Igbo people, prevention of genocide, ethnic cleansing or extermination of Christians in Nigeria by radical Islamic Hausa-Fulani terrorists.

The lawyers stated that they are convinced that Nigeria is the most dangerous country in the world for Christians. According to them the sanctity of churches in Nigeria is routinely defiled through the killing of children, whose corpses are hidden between pews.

This, in addition to the country's membership of the Organization of Islamic Countries (OIC), and the adoption of the Sharia code by 12 Northern states, they noted, constitutes a violation of Nigeria’s secular constitution.

They stated that the Christian Open Door Report of 2015 found that Boko Haram killed 11,000 Christians, destroyed 13,000 churches and 1,500 Christian schools, as well as internally displaced 2.6 million people, among who were 1.3 million Christians.

They equally recalled that on 11 July, a coalition of Northern groups ordered 11 million Igbo people residing in North to relocate to their home states by 1 October, something the lawyers alleged was endorsed by the Federal Government and state governments in the North.

"The Government of Nigeria and 19 Northern states have tacitly endorsed the threatened genocide of twice the number exterminated by the Nazis in the Holocaust," the lawyers alleged.

They noted that the federal and state governments in northern Nigeria refused to arrest those behind the chilling threat against the Igbo.

In the suit against the Chief of Army Staff and others, the lawyers said the US District Court issued an order granting the plaintiffs' motion to proceed anonymously because they reasonably feared lethal retaliation against themselves or families if their identities were revealed.

They argued that actions of the defendants in the suit amounted to crimes against humanity, which could be prosecuted in any jurisdiction in the world.
"Indeed, the Convention Against Torture mandates that signatory nations like the United States and Nigeria prosecute the crimes of torture or extrajudicial killings," the lawyers stated.

A total of 14 of the 16 individual defendants is Federal Government officials, while the other two are Messrs. Obiano and Ikpeazu, both governors of Anambra and Abia states. The Anambra State governor, they noted, has apologized for the killing of the plaintiffs perpetrated under his watch.

The defendants, the lawyers said, are yet to respond after 21 days of the service of the summons and complaint. They added that their chances of successful prosecution of the suit are bright.

"We are optimistic about our chances of victory at trial or earlier," they said.

The defendants are represented by a California-based Nigerian law firm, which said it has been contacted by the Federal Government but not by individual defendants.
