Never knew niger deltan ties headscarf until i come across this one, anyway the fulanis will take him along while leaving Nigeria when the time comes

Repeating the same thing his ancestors did in 1967 when they begged Fulani to carve their non Igbo speaking parts of the old east from Biafra. North used its military dictators to start to create states, first carved out Rivers and Cross River states from Biafra.

Immediately after, northern politicians and soldiers colonized all the multi billion Dollars oil wells in the SS.

That made the Asaris of today’s SS became freedom fighters in Nigeria. They still don’t understand that without teaming up with the Igbos, the struggle by them for Nigerdelta Republic shall never come to fruition.

This time, they are not parading some young boys confessing that they are IPOB/ESN members who killed the doctor and burnt the houses? Why?

Aufbauh:
Same epistle you vulgarized when Femi Fani-Kayode was toiling with you guys ibrain.n the guise that Nigeria will soon break up. Has he not left you behind singing ' One Nigeria'?

NB: it's far more honourable and dignifying to be a 'unity beggar' than to be a freedom beggar. A freedom beggar is a conform slave seeking freedom from his slave masters.

Wow.

Glad you understood that people of some Nigerian group or groups are held as slaves in one Nigeria.

But fact is that slavery has been outlawed all over the saner world.

Therefore, it must be time for freedom before long for the Nigerian group or groups you boasted about that you hold as slaves in one Nigeria.
See person of very low IQ, or mentally deranged, boasting of holding others as slaves!!

This same Islamic terrorism has been exported down south. The SE is being devastated by terrorists followed by soldiers who pretending that they are looking for IPOB people and use the oppportunity to kill Igbos and extort money from them.

But VP Osinbajo begged Yoruba to vote PMB for 2nd term so that north will vote a Yoruba for president to succeed PMB.
That’s like from a crude man,
That’s a most unpresidential statement from a VP Osinbajo.

Time to tell Arewa youths that they have survived so far from the natural resources from the SE, SS, and the SW regions.

They receive their salaries promptly, that’s the only thing golden about Nigeria for Nigeria army commanders.

Only flogging?

All over the old Eastern region, strange soldiers who can barely communicate in pidgin language (they speak mainly Hausa language), are unleashed upon the people of the region.

They extort cash, rape kids, kill civilians - in the region. With excuse of locals opposing Fulani herdsmen to locals being IPOB sympathizers, these strange looking soldiers humiliate the local people.

PMB battling to sustain his own country, Nigeria; with Nigeria soldiers fighting Nigeria’s civilians in other to sustain dysfunctional Nigeria,
Buhari now advising Ethiopia people on stability.


Ethiopia left Eritrea go through a referendum.

Buhari thinks separatists of Nigeria are fools, dispensable with military rifles.

It’s not Buhari’s fault. It’s the fault of the skewed and lopsided 36 states and Abuja political structure of Nigeria, with 19 states and Abuja in ONE northern region, but only 17 states in the old TWO southern regions.

The political structure gives people like Buhari as president and leaders of Nigeria.

Sirjamo:
FFK is a scallywag, but, so are almost all Nigerian politicians.

Even Dr Clueless worked for APC in the last governorship election in Bayelsa.


Meanwhile, when APC wins again in 2023, Reno Omokri and his fellow PDP Dundees will wail for 12 years non - stop.

Dr Clueless worked for APC during the 2015 presidential election, because he was afraid to continue as president.
He, Abati and Okupe hardly challenged the lies of APC led by Lai Mohammed and Sanusi Lamido Sanusi against him and his government during the political campaign of 2015.
He never challenged Buhari’s certificate saga.

He retained the obviously pro-return-power-to north INEC Chairman.
If he were OBJ, Bubu would not have contested the 2015 presidential election without certificate issues cleared.

OdumegwuOjukwu:
Sounds more like False Dawn

Solution is not military, otherwise it would have been solved by Python Dance.

The more the Buhari’s military coercion in the east, the more the 12 northern sharia states approach their Islamic Republic of Arewa.

This time, the political and religious leaders of the 12 northern sharia states seceded first from Nigeria through adoption of unconstitutional Islamic Sharia criminal laws in a constitutionally secular Nigeria.
The sharia states still stick to one Nigeria because of lucre.

They earlier thought that their military wing, Boko Haram/Armed Fulani herdsmen, would capture all of Nigeria for a Nigeria to be governed with Islamic Sharia criminal laws.

In the east, we shall now begin to see alien people in Nigeria army uniform with automatic military rifles who can barely exchange a sentence in local, pidgin or English language, accosting civilians who they think have money. Before you blink an eye, the civilians get arrested and accused of IPOB membership. Huge sum of of bribe for freedom money is demanded from the attested.

That’s how Nigeria’s government believes it can succeed in its fight for continuation of one Nigeria.

Hopefully, they are not repentant?? Boko Haram and bandits that were further drafted to Anambra state to kill more Igbos in pretext of hunting for IPOB members.


The mortuaries in Imo state are still having the scores of innocent civilians killed by Nigeria soldiers who went after ISWAP/Boko Haram/ Fulani herdsmen combo attacked and released prisoners in Owerri earlier this year.

The unknown gunmen operated for hours near Imo Police headquarters and nearby military barracks without any challenge. They left.

How to fight a Jihad using government instruments and terrorists.

vanbonattel:
But, where did these kinds of wicked souls come out from?

If this has happened in the east, you will see a lot of zombie ppl coming here to gloat
Now it's el ruffai and helinues won't condemn it.

Where you see Northern people house in the east to demolish?


Do northern people believe in One Nigeria?
They are not like your eastern people who worship one Nigeria, as easterners build houses all over Nigeria.

The El-Rufis of the far north had since drawn the boundary of their Islamic Sharia Republic when they set aside the constitution of Nigeria, and adopted unconstitutional Islamic Sharia criminal justice system in the 12 far north states. They still clutch tight to one Nigeria because of economic considerations.

anorexicmuster:
So the President should always call you when it is time to fix your car, take your kids to school, pay your bills, maintain your house, because that's what you voted him to do, eh?

Yes, the buck stops at Bubu's seat...but we do have something called 'responsibility'

Not too long ago, I did the basic maintenance on my car...including brake maintenance...so that I don't get into similar situation like this. No need for Bubu to call me to do it.

The death of this girl is squarely the fault of the driver and the owner of the truck. They did not fix their truck well. Make they go do the needful.

One more thing...Nigerians love to fight with VIO and FRSC when they are doing their job of making sure you are following the rules. When they tell you to come for roadworthiness...you bribe them, or ignore them. Well., see what happens when you ignore the people who are supposed to make sure things like this don';t happen.

And no, I am not a Buhari supporter, nor did I vote for him, or for any PDP or APC candidate. They are all the same to me.

You could have made the highest level of maintenance on your car, but it must pass through VIO’s annual vehicle test for conformity with standard roadworthiness,
.

If VIO dept would be corrupt and certified a non worthy vehicle, it’s the fault of the VIO and his employer. The employer of civil servants in Nigeria is the federal government of Nigeria led by Buhari. That’s why he has to take blame for any bad and good thing that happens to Nigeria.

anorexicmuster:
The funny thing about this thread is that people are blaming Buhari, leaders past, even Nigeria...and possibly IPOB....and not the driver for driving badly and the owner of the truck for not keeping his truck well maintained...especially the brake.

The buck stops on the president’s table.

Trailers can’t just fail break In the countries that made that trailer, and in other normal countries, because VIO works to ensure that every year, every truck must be checked for roadworthiness.

Police there are all out to stop any non conformance.
Of course, VIO risks long prison time if he ever issues a certificate of roadworthiness to a vehicle that’s not conforming with standard.

And how could a government watch roads plied by lorries to be rid of potholes in normal countries?

RIP young girl. You were a Nigerian.

These ones are struggling for presidency of a Nigeria they are not sure it shall exist by 2023.

You take others like 2nd class citizens in Nigeria.

This truth must be bitter for the political leaders of the 12 sharia states who worsened Nigeria’s differences when they adopted unconstitutional sharia criminal laws, but still stick to one Nigeria because of lucre.

Commonly shared value systems is the bedrock of nationhood. The southern regions of Nigeria, irrespective of differences in religious faiths, sharia common value systems.

Nah so you see am...had it been this incident happened in the East by now the media would have been broken into two,Ipob/ESN names would have been flying like missiles all over the media. Since it's matter concerning the north everywhere is calm..

Come and defend your one Nigeria.

But who still buys their propaganda of Igbos killing Igbos through IPOB?
Outdated propaganda of Islamic extremists fighting for a Nigeria to be governed with Islamic Sharia criminal justice system.

Propagandists for ISLAMIC extremists unleashed on the east are legion.

Rexwalters1:
I understand your plot, behave like public nuisances, attract the military to come in to restore order in the process killing quite a number of people, then you start with your international wailing for help, reverse psychology, I just hope you are amongst the ipobian soldiers that are ready to lay their lives down for the actualization of your illusion Biafra?

These same attackers in the east danced for about an hour at the city center of Owerri before they liberated more than hundred prisoners, burnt parts of police headquarters. They operated for more than an hour unchallenged in the area where military and police forces barracks are very close. No challenge. They left.

Later, people like you propagated the falsehood that it was IPOB/ESN that attacked Owerri prison and police station.

Put a stop to the operations of your ISWA/Boko Haram/Herdsmen combo in the east.
You are not fooling anyone anymore with calling Igbos killing Igbos, each time they strike in the east.

bobowaja:
Don't be angry. I just don't see sense in killing your own people to get Biafra. Doesn't make any sense at all. But still, no vex say I talk.

It must be a foolish person who talks about Igbos killing Igbos to get Biafra.


Igbos don’t kill Igbos to get Biafra.
Agitators for restoration of Biafra did not start recently.
Hold your ISWAP/Boko Haram/Herdsmen that have infiltrated all parts of Nigeria in check, before they ignite war that gets you the Islamic Republic in the 12 sharia states.

Secession from Nigeria of recent started from the political and religious leaders in the 12 northern sharia states when they adopted unconstitutional Islamic Sharia criminal laws.

bobowaja:
Na wa o. DSS and FRSC office. Wetin FRSC still carry do unknown gunmen?

Igbo should try to rein these boys before they turn east to another Bornu. You don't cut your nose to spite your face. If you want to fight the federal govt, take the fight to them in Abuja. Stop killing your own kit and kin in uniform cos you want to get back at Buhari.

The people you are killing are hustlers working for a pay. They follow orders not their own actions most times. Why not go to Abuja to battle the source instead of battling insignificant people that only follow orders?

Moreso, the FG will still send more of your people in uniform to same place tomorrow for you to kill. Who are you now doing?

This is why it is best for intellectuals to take command of agitations. Illiterates will only point the gun barrel to themselves not their enemies.

Don’t call Igbos. Igbos have no control over the unknown gunmen trying to attract armed forces to invade Igbo land.

You must be one of the hired propagandists for the unknown gunmen.

Pantami threatens legal action over allegation of Boko Haram link
JIBWIS will come to exert a level of influence over Nigeria’s national politics and governance that is unprecedented for a religious body in Nigeria. Soon, it will become almost impossible to achieve power in many parts of Northern Nigeria without identifying with the Izala Movement.

Among other things, the scholar states that Muslims should never accept a non-Muslim as ruler, which can be interpreted as a call for insurrection against a Christian Nigerian president. He is never held to account for this statement. In any case, he no longer believes that writing books or teaching people about Islam will on their own, lead to an Islamic renaissance in Northern Nigeria. Now he is all about partnership and politicking. He maintains his membership in Northern Nigeria’s legacy Islamic group, Jama'atu Nasril Islam (“Group for the Victory of Islam”), but he is unmistakably the beating heart of the new Izala Movement. To all intents and purposes, this is the birth of modern Salafist Islam in Nigeria.

Without firing a shot or winning an election, this Islamic scholar has become one of the most powerful men in Northern Nigeria

His name?

The Clerics, The Saudis and What Happened in Algeria

Fast forward 33 years. It is Christmas Day in 2011 and Abubakar Gumi has been dead for over 19 years. A bomb suddenly goes off at St. Theresa Catholic Church, Madalla, on the outskirts of Abuja, killing 35 people and wounding a further 52. Almost simultaneously, a series of coordinated bomb attacks and shootings take place at churches in Jos, Gadaka and Damaturu. An obscure Islamist group calling itself Boko Haram claims responsibility for the attacks.

During the trial of the main suspect Kabiru Umar A.K.A Kabiru Sokoto 2 years later, a masked witness claims that an Algerian Islamist group provided funding and support worth N40,000,000 ($250,000 at the time) to carry out the attacks. To the general public, it is unclear what the link is between Islamists in Northern Nigeria and well-funded terror groups in North Africa.

Shame On Those Shepherds Who Lead My Sheep To The Slaughter.
To those in the know however, the incidents of December 25, 2011 are not only expected, but are likely to intensify and become more regular. This is because while the Nigerian public up to this point has been fed with what amounts to a tiny percentage of the actual story behind the Boko Haram group, this group has in fact been incubating and nurtured at the highest levels of the theological, economic and political spaces in Northern Nigeria. Boko Haram in reality, is so much bigger than Mohammed Yusuf and Abubakar Shekau that reducing it to those 2 men serves to miss the actual story spectacularly.

To start to get some of the picture of what Boko Haram is and where it came from, let us retreat from 2011 to 2006 to read an excerpt from a letter written by the Permanent Representative of Nigeria to the United Nations, Aminu B. Wali, addressed to the Chairman of the Counter-Terrorism Committee. This letter is available in full here from the official repository for UN documents. Written by the Nigerian government to the UN, it lays out the measures it has taken to fight terrorism in Nigeria. Take special note of the names mentioned in bold.

In bold: the insurrection against a no-Muslim president of Nigeria started from 1999 against the then president Olusegun Obasanjo, with political and religious leaders in the 12 far northern Nigeria states, unanimously adopting unconstitutional Islamic Sharia criminal laws.
The militant section for the enforcement of Sharia criminal laws to all the states in Nigeria, Boko Haram, quickly sprang up in the north east of Nigeria and started the bombings and war against Nigeria.

Nigeria's organised Islamic terrorism problem did not start in 2009. It's a lot more insidious than you think.

In May 2021, a 96 year-old businessman died in Rome, Italy. In his lifetime, Ahmed Idris Nasreddin might have amassed a personal fortune of close to half a billion dollars, but the death of NASCO Group’s multimillionaire founder barely made the news. At first glance, the only extraordinary thing about his life story was that it embodied the African entrepreneurship dream.

Nasreddin was an Eritrean who moved to Jos in Nigeria’s Plateau State, and grew his father’s small manufacturing business into a $460 million conglomerate involved in everything from breakfast cereal and confectionery to pharmaceuticals, real estate and energy. After many years of growth and success, he eventually handed his sprawling business empire over to his son Attia Nasreddin, and retired at an old, satisfied age.

In an official statement released after Nasreddin’s death in March, Plateau State governor Simon Lalong said:

“NASCO has over the years remained a major employer of labour in Plateau and continues to contribute to the economic prosperity of the State and Nigeria at large through tax revenue and corporate social responsibility.”

Well that was the cover story, anyway.

In reality, as is so often the case in Nigeria, the gap between the facts and the information released to the public is so wide as to be scarcely believable. What on earth could this shrewd, respectable businessman who looked like he could not hurt a fly have done, to put him in the same article as a story about the world’s deadliest terrorist organisation? Why would the brand he built, which to many Nigerians evokes memories of a beloved childhood breakfast staple, appear in the same sentence as Boko Haram?

To answer these questions, our story begins on another continent in 1955, some 8 years before his father would move to Nigeria and establish NASCO Group.

A Scholar From Zamfara

The year is 1955, and a 33 year-old Islamic scholar from Gummi in modern day Zamfara State has made his way to Mecca for his first Hajj pilgrimage. Alongside him is a certain Ahmadu Bello, who is the Premier of Northern Nigeria. During this trip, the scholar impresses both Ahmadu Bello and the Saudi King Sa’ud with his Arabic translation skills. He rapidly makes a big impression on many locals and clerics in Mecca.

These relationships will later become his most valuable asset following the events that take place after his subsequent return to Nigeria. Upon returning to Nigeria, he takes up positions teaching Arabic Studies at Islamic schools in Kano and Kaduna. His style of teaching focuses on educating his students about the differences between Islamic religious doctrine and local customs. Based on his strict Sunni understanding of the Qur’an, he teaches his students to adopt a ‘pure’ Islamic identity at the expense of practises that he considered bid’ah (roughly translated as ‘innovation’ or ‘corruption’).

What is a bidah?
He also becomes the first Islamic scholar to translate the Qur’an from Arabic into Hausa, which puts him in a uniquely influential position comparable to that of Ajayi Crowther in 19th century southwestern Nigeria. Using this leverage, he becomes an increasingly powerful figure in Northern Nigeria, with his essentialist views on Islamic doctrine gaining popularity. To him, the existing Sufi orders of Northern Nigeria are polluted with bid’ah and unfit for purpose. He becomes well known for attacking the Tijaniya and Qadriyya brotherhoods during his appearances on Radio Kaduna, while advocating for a ‘return’ to ‘Islamic purity.’

Following the death of his friend and benefactor Ahmadu Bello, the scholar finds himself in a precarious situation. The new Nigerian federal government led by soldiers has a motive to crack down on anyone who is outspoken and influential. He may be a giant in Northern Nigeria, but he is a giant with feet of clay. His solution is to seek financial, doctrinal and political help from his friends in Mecca. The Saudis, as always, are ready to help.

His Saudi backers are keen to use him to espouse the Saudi Arabian state’s official interpretation of Islam, which is based on the work of 18th century Islamic scholar Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhab. This fundamentalist doctrine, often known as Wahabbism fits very closely with the teachings of our hero in Northern Nigeria, and he enthusiastically sets about gathering support for this new Saudi-funded project. In the 2009 book ‘The Wahhabi Mission and Saudi Arabia,’ historian David Commins says:

“The [Saudi-funded Muslim World] League also sent missionaries to West Africa, where it funded schools, distributed religious literature and gave scholarships to attend Saudi religious universities. These efforts bore fruit in Nigeria's Muslim northern region with the creation of a movement (the Izala Society) dedicated to wiping out ritual innovations. Essential texts for members of the Izala Society are Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab's treatise of God's unity and commentaries by his grandsons.

Reaching out to his erstwhile students across Kaduna and Kano over the course of the 1970s, the scholar-turned-politician slowly builds a coalition of strategically-aligned individuals who will someday become very powerful people in Northern Nigeria. In 1978, one of his prominent students, Sheikh Ismaila Idris takes charge of this increasingly powerful but somewhat unofficial movement, and calls it Jama'atu Izalatil Bid’ah Wa Iqamatus Sunnah (Society of Removal of Innovation and Re-establishment of the Sunnah), also known as JIBWIS.

Based in Jos and known colloquially as the Izala Movement, this organisation will go on to become the most influential Islamic body in Nigeria over the next few decades. Its members will become some of Nigeria’s most revered Imams and clerics. They will achieve high ranks in the Nigerian Armed Forces.

But Boko Haram emerged shortly after the political and religious leaders of the 12 northern Nigeria’s sharia states adopted unconstitutional Islamic Sharia criminal laws between 1999-2001.
Sharia criminal laws include, stoning women to death for adultery, death for apostasy, cutting the hands of thieves, etc.

Mainly Muslim military dictators from northern Nigeria who supervised Nigeria’s 1999 constitution carefully excluded Islamic Sharia criminal justice system from the constitution. They must have understood the chaos including sharia criminal justice system could cause in Nigeria of multi religious society.

In 2001, Muhammadu Buhari boasted before a large crowd of Muslim faithfuls in Kaduna that he must continue to support the expansion of use of Islamic Sharia criminal justice system to all the states of Nigeria. This further emboldened Muslim radicals in the north of Nigeria and beyond, given the fact that Buhari is held in high esteem by Muslim faithfuls.

Boko Haram has never minced words the several times it said that it’s fighting for a country to be governed with Islamic Sharia criminal justice system.

One of the earliest demands of Tanko Mohammed, the Supreme Court Justice head appointed by PMB is for Islamic Sharia criminal justice system be included in the constitution.

Cognitivereason:
The terrorist in the NE or bandits in the NW ..are they external aggressors...if ur ideology is correct..then police should be the only force fighting terrorist then....use ur head..the military can intervene in any security issue that local police can't handle....

Terrorists in the north want a country to be governed with Islamic Sharia criminal laws.


Secessionists in the south object to inclusion in a country to be governed with Islamic Sharia criminal laws.

It’s left for the political class to sort out the demands of the Islamic terrorists and secessionists.

These are not problems to be sorted out by Nigeria armed forces, unless they send the soldiers to kill off the secessionists so that the Islamic terrorists have their way.

Function of Army is defend a country against external aggressors.

Army moving equipment and troops for what? Is Nigeria involved in war with another country?

If police can’t take care of Nigeria’s internal problems, that means that there are huge political issues to resolve by politicians of Nigeria.

If Arewa can’t bend to political restructuring of Nigeria which is the cause of political instability in Nigeria, must Buhari government dispatch armed forces to kill the Nigerian groups asking for political restructuring, or secession if political restructuring fails?
