Thanks for this clarification. I've always wondered what's these Sunni and Shite ?
Since the shites are very peaceful, how come Zakzaky''s followers are armed, to the extent of always having gun battles with the army?

How come there was no casualty on the part of the Nigerian army be it wounded or dead? You won't understand, majority of the Nigerian army are Sunni and they were infuriated by the ritual which the shiite was doing. But then there is freedom of worship. The shiite only form human shield against the army. This was the same scenario that played out in the protest in the eastern nigeria of recent. The Nigerian army are very good at dishing out lies. The army are always sympathetic to their own.

Is there a possibility that President Buhari is a Sunni?

All Nigeria Muslim Presidents both past and present are from the Sunni sect. A shiite Muslim can never be a president in Nigeria cos he/she won't be supported by the Sunni who are majority. These are effects of being minorities. the Sunni sect. A shiite Muslim can never be a president in Nigeria cos he/she won't be supported by the Sunni who are majority. These are effects of being minorities.

you have NO knowledge about Islam and Muslims... Sunni is the most peaceful Muslims and that's why any country with majority of sunni have bn peaceful. Shi'a and d likes are the troublesome ones among Muslims and that's why all the countries bn headed by Shi'a are the war zones of Islamic states

You that have knowledge of Islam more than me, can you tell me why the Taliban, ISIS, boko haram, al-shabaab, etc are all Sunni? And why is the Taliban always bombing Iraq (whom are mostly shia) through the help of Iran(whom are 100% Sunni) ? The reason while Shia or shiite doesn't retaliate is simply they are the minority abt 20%. Even in history the Sunni first struck the shiite by kill Ali's son who was the head of shiite then.

abysirius:
Definitely you are also one of them if attacking our soldiers and destroying lives and property for no tangible reason is your definition of peace.

This was exactly how Bokoharam started. So u expect nigerian army to sit back, fold their arms and watch while some unrue pple make our nation ungovernable. No!! This is to GEJ's mistakes and this govt won't repeat that. They should not be treated as human. They are beasts and should be wiped out.

That was also how boko haram was thought to have been wiped out by killing yusuf and his followers only for it to get worse. You can't suppress people's ideology nowadays cos ideas can't be destroyed. Moreover the problem was that the shiite were having a procession and then had to block the road which is a common features of many religious group in Nigeria. Why couldn't the COAS use an alternative route? Ego problem.

While I guess with Islam been one of the newest international religion, they are still coming of age. In the past Christianity was also violent and fought the thirty years old war that finished half of Europe population which was between catholics and protestants during 17th century. But time is fast passing through that the Muslims should do as they preach which is peace just like Christianity now is peaceful.

Shiite Muslims have really suffered in the hands of
Sunni Muslims. Boko haram is against them, ISIS is
against them, Nigerian army is against them. I
don't know why most Muslims are intolerant. Shiite
is the most peaceful sect of Muslims. Just that
Sunni detest most of their rituals and traditions like
honouring the death, cursing Aisha and others. But
then Christianity have many divisions who have
contradicting belief and yet are tolerant of each
other. If I wanted to be a Muslim, I will go for the
Shiite cos they are very peaceful. Boko haram is
Sunni, ISIS - Sunni, all other Islamic militant group
are Sunni too. Because the shiite Muslims are minority doesn't mean they should be wiped out. We should protect our minorities. This is too bad of the Nigerian army.

Injustice of the highest order. But is she from Abia state? If she is then, her admission is suppose to be certain.

This is about 80% true. Nigeria is a very interesting place.

The truth is, nigeria flag is boring but biafran flag is no better. That doesn't give BBC or whatever the shot name they are to abuse Nigerian flag

Saharareporters is synonymous with lies

A new breeding ground for.......... Well since it's from an African Muslim, it won't be embraced by Arab Muslims or Asian muslims

If this story is true, then we are back to the dark era of our dear country.

But Jews are Muslims' most hated enemies. Just saying. Nice one from Mark.

After riding on the back of social media to coast to victory, now they want to censor social media. After deceiving us.

Nduka? I don't believe it. So Jonathan did a bazaar with our collective wealth to this clonies

Death is nothing something that should be joked with or used as a means to draw sympathy, draw traffic or be popular. I know she is not ur blood sister but "might" be related to you.

They better hurry up to recapture it to avoid fatalities

Fuel subsidy can not be removed when we still depend heavily on imports. The effect of the removal will be astronomical on everything. It's like having this present situation permanently. The reason Nigerians are not reacting or protesting on the fuel scarcity and exorbitant prices is because we believe it's temporal. Make it permanent and see the effect. It might take years for the price to stabilise to the actual price. It's easy to say theoretically but it's a different ball game in practical. Remove subsidy and see the prices increase exponentially coupled with this current policy of dollar restriction. Buhari should never try it cos to the layman, His thinking is Buhari has increased the pump price.

What we should be fighting for is total federalism, so that states can harness their natural resources. The crude oil we see today will likely be meaningless in the next 50yrs. So we need to explore and harness all resources now and judiciously reinvest in human and capital investment. There is no point of reserving them when we are not yet developed. But it should only be harness when there is total federalism or in the long run Biafra(though I don't believe it can be actualized).

There is 90% chances of finding commercial quantities of crude oil around anambra and enugu basins. But the cost of drilling is higher than that of niger delta areas. Most oil investors will want where they can make maximum profits. Moreover more than 80% of oil drillings are done offshore in Nigeria. The reason is because of cost effectiveness. Most oil wells in Nigeria are offshore.

Hustling hustler

Nigeria I hail thee

Those bloody old days. Thank God things has changed. Now I can enter onitsha even with huge cash to buy things. Then you dare not carry a nylon bag cos your hand might be cut off by thieves in order to snatch it from you.

This is how African leaders should lead to uplift Africa. I pray he keep the tempo and never relent.

Handwork pays

How come the blood the floor?

A very good one from him.

The disunity among them will never allow them to be strong. Though the ijaws are wicked to themselves and to others with the short foresight. I remember how they treated others in the old rivers state. Even to the Igbos by seizing most of their properties. So tell me how such people can progress? If the Yorubas would return properties to the real owners, how come the Ijaws couldn't?
