They wasted their lives.Sadly,there are no virgins for them.
Their deaths were extra-judicial killings though.The security system didn't have to take their lives.

"Without justice, what else is the State but a great band of robbers"~~St Augustine

The reaction of Nigerians to Saturday's shooting of yet to be ascertained number of members of Shiite Islamic sect at Zuba bridge, Abuja, by the Nigerian army has conclusively exposed the fact that reasonable number of Nigerians have very low sense of Civic consciousness in addition to knowing absolutely nothing on how security forces ought to operate and relate with civilians in a civilized society.

Of course, I blame them not, considering that we live in Nigeria, a country where the President and Commander-In-Chief and all his security Chiefs take turn justifying and explaining away the routine massacre of hundreds of tax paying citizens by Fulani militia operating under the umbrella of a group, Miyetti Allah, which has no other person but the same President and Commander-In-Chief as Chief Patron. Living in such a country has a way of making one begin to see state violence as the norm and human life as nothing.

But first, let's get the issue very clearly:

According to the Nigerian Army, the Shiites smashed their vehicles' windscreens and windows, injured two soldiers and tried to cart away the "ammunitions and missiles" they were transporting simply because they (the soldiers) tried to dismantle the road block they mounted while on procession. This is the summary of the official statement by the Commander, Army Headquarters Garrison, Major General James Myam.

Before we analyze this, permit me to take us back to 2015 killing of hundredS of the same shiites by the same army. Then, their excuse was that the Shiites blocked the convoy of the Army Chief, Lt General Tukur Yusuf Buratai. Meanwhile, evidence showed that the same Army, even after killing hundredS of stick wielding Shiites, supposedly to create passage for the Army Chief, went to the home of the Shiites leader, Sheik Ibraheem Alzakzakky, and was caught on video shooting people including women and children. If we all pretend to be Savages by justifying the killing of hundredS of civilians by a National Army, just to create passage for an army Chief, how do we explain the same Army going to another location to kill more of the same people??

The people killed at Alzakzakky's house, were they also blocking the Army convoy

Testifying before a judicial Commission of Inquiry set up to look into the December 12, 2015 massacre, the Secretary to the Governor Nasir Elrufai headed government of Kaduna state, Mr Balarabe Lawal, admitted that the state government and the Nigerian Army buried 347 of the killed shiites IN A MASS GRAVE. In other words, they didn't allow families of their victims take the bodies of their loved ones and afford them descent burial in accordance with their religious belief.

Now, the same Army has killed the same people with the excuse that they attacked them with stones. And with no shame whatsoever, some Nigerians including those who have always condemned Israeli soldiers for responding to stone-throwing Palestinians with live bullets are defending their own army responding to the same stone with bullets.

Even the claim by the army that they were transporting weapons when they ran into the Shiites appears to be as weightless as their claim that they were at Nnamdi Kanu's compound last year, not to attack him but to do "SHOW OF FORCE". These are illiterate excuses. You don't do Show Of Force in a locality populated by your own unarmed citizens. You do "Show Of Force" to codedly warn enemy countries to respect themselves and you do this by displaying your military might.

If the army could be dumb enough to load sensitive weapons (ammunitions and missiles) and start moving them from place to place WITHOUT getting intelligence about the traffic situation of the route they intend to ply, it simply means we have a bunch of Morons heading the Nigerian army. And if they knew the Shiites were doing procession there and still chose to take that route, instead of getting the police to disperse the Islamic sect, that is premeditated murder. If we say the Nigerian Police cannot disperse unarmed stone/stick-wielding group, then we are simply saying we don't have a police force.

Let us get this one point very clear, SOLDIERS HAVE NO BUSINESS BEING OUTSIDE THEIR BARRACKS FULLY ARMED AND IN COMBAT MODE EXCEPT THEY ARE GOING FOR OPERATION WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE GOING TO DISPERSE A BUNCH OF RIOTOUS RELIGIOUS CROWD ON PROCESSION. The business of the army is the protection of the territorial integrity of the country. Soldiers are permitted to engage civilians only when Police and other law enforcement such as Civil Defence have conclusively failed to contain the situation and it must be in cases where the riotous assembly is populated by people who are ARMED with gun, not stick or stone.

Soldiers are trained to understand only "Open fire" and "Cease fire". You don't send soldiers against stone or stick wielding citizens. You send the Police who are trained and equipped with tear gas, rubber bullet, water cannisters etc.

The militarization of the civic spaces is itself a moral crime against the citizens. It speaks to a worrisome level of 'anyhowness' and a clear intent to massacre tax paying citizens who the government exists solely to serve and protect.

ANY COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OR ARMY CHIEF WHO SEND IN SOLDIERS TO CONFRONT UNARMED CIVILIANS HAS ONLY ONE THING IN MIND AND THAT IS THE MASSACRE OF THE SAID CIVILIAN CITIZENS. There is no "but", there is no "IF" here. In any confrontation between the Citizens and the government, the responsibility of applying restraints rests more with the government. We owe it to ourselves to stop diplomatizing and rationalizing needless state violence especially by a government that has repeatedly been found wanting in cases like ethnic cleansing by Fulani militias where that state violence are desperately needed.

It is important that we all remind ourselves that the Muhammadu Buhari led government has been holding the Shiite leader and his wife in detention since December 2015 AGAINST COURT ORDER that they be released. That is impunity of the highest order.

The Buhari government must obey the order of its own court by releasing the Shiite leader and his wife.

As the former head of Kenyan anti graft agency, professor PLO Lumumba would say "Peace can only be a product of intercourse between justice and truth. Any peace acquired through any other way is nothing but the peace of the grave yard which is no peace at all"

An Israeli doctor said: "In Israel, medicine is so advanced that we cut off a man's liver put them on another man, and in 6 weeks, he is looking for work."
The German doctor says: "That's nothing,
in Germany we took part of a brain, put it in another man, and in 4 weeks he is looking for work."
The Russian doctor says: "Gentlemen, we take half a heart from a man, put it in another's chest, and in 2 weeks he is looking for work."
The Nigerian doctor laughed: "You all are behind us. Three years ago, we took a man with no brains, no heart, and no liver and made him President.
Now, the whole country is looking for work!"

Here's mine sha...

There was this babe I was targeting on campus back then. She was probing hard to get and I was doing all I can to get her attention.
She finally agreed to go in a date with me.

But as fate would have it, i was having a running stomach that day. I had taken some drugs and felt relieved. I could have called to cancel but I thought I was fine. Moreover, I had bragged and told my roommate not to cook my dinner. Twenty minutes after I got to the restaurant with my date, I went to the toilet.

As we started eating, I felt like farting. Instead of me to excuse myself, I sat down there thinking it was going to be those silent kind of fart, unfortunately, the fart came out loud and smelling. It was so bad that my cool new jeans was stained with faeces. Don’t even ask me how the rest of the day went. It was so embarrassing that I wished the ground could open up and swallow me.

tripplephi:
brother, you are already in OFFENCE.

OFFENCE IS WORSE THAN ANY OTHER SIN because it does not show OUTWARDLY


I understand you but it is sad o.... JOHN 6 SHOWS HOW 70 DISCIPLES LEFT JESUS BECAUSE OF WHAT HE WAS TEACHING AND HOW HE BEHAVED..... see the only church you can join are churches that can COVER UP ALOT and deceive you with FUN AND MIRACLES.


BY THE WAY... who told you and where in the BIBLE is it said that CHURCH is a place that is SAFE? LOL.... in the bible PEOPLE DIED SEVERAL TIMES EVEN IN CHURCH...


CHURCH IS A FAMILY OF GOD.... and in family our differences keep us together and not tear us apart... but it all boils down to your personal relationship with God sha, no one can force you.... there is no FOURSQUARE or RCCG or LIVINGFAITH or EMBASSY in heaven.... only those that JESUS IS NOT ASHAMED OF.

IF GOD'S WORD DOES NOT AFFECT YOU IN A CHURCH then you can go to another church. serving God is NOT A FEELING.... you didn't feel like being born again.... SERVING GOD ALSO SHOULD NEVER BE AFFECTED BY ANYONE'S OPINION OR ATTITUDE TOWARDS YOU.

I WISH YOU WELL BRO.

Thks but I think u are a pastor in foursquare or otherwise
Church is a safe haven bro dat why pple lay Der live for d Der belief
I pray God led me sha but honestly my heart is not Der again
Thks for yur time really appreciated God bless u

tripplephi:
WOW.... this is why i really cant cope with Nigerian churches... HOW COME YOU CLAIM TO BE A CHRISTIAN and a member of a solid church like FOURSQUARE and you have not read your bible enough to know that NO CHURCH IS PERFECT... NONE!!!

Do you even listen to the message or you went there for COMFORT rather than for GOD?

So the devil made you remember what someone said in YORUBA MORE THAN WHAT GOD'S WORD WAS SAYING FROM THE PULPIT.... chai na wa for u o

People always expect GOD LEVEL PERFECTION from PASTORS hence they are criticized ruthlessly. So your pastor told you to pay your tithe then you took offence? Its sad, I feel sorry for you.

See lemme help you, the GREAT COMMISSION in Matthew 28 CLEARLY says that JESUS TOLD THEM TO GO INTO THE WORLD TO MAKE DISCIPLES (not CHURCH GOERS)...... you decide NOT to go to a church because of how you were treated ....lol... WHO IS AT LOSS? the church or you?

YET
if you went to a shrine AND the servants there were RUDE to you, you wouldn't mind....
if you went to a PROPHETIC/SEER/MIRACLE SHARP SHARP church and the prophet gave you accurate prophecies and worked wonders for you then you experienced what you claim to experience sitting inbetween a couple... NOTHING WILL MAKE YOU DECIDE TO LEAVE....

Just as there are FAKE PASTORS so also there are FAKE MEMBERS o so pls do not be among them.

YOUR GOING TO CHURCH IS STRICTLY AND FIRSTLY for GOD and not MAN. whether you tithe or you do not tithe GOD WILL BLESS YOU and GOD DOES NOT CONSULT YOUR PASTOR OR PROPHET BEFORE BLESSING YOU.

I hope this correction helps you. Check your heart and discover if there is offence in you and repent.
