The whole clash was scary in the level of fanatism displayed. I really fear for the North. Their politicians have over the years exploited their genuine religious nature, so much that they have been exploited by people in the name of religion. We have people who seem to have forgotten that they are inside a sovereign multireligious nation.
The spox of Shiaa movement exemplified this on national TV. He was so adamant on breaking the law, so much that he even cited a previous governor's humiliation in their hands. Even the most militant and civil disobedient person down south wouldnt be that daring to the authorities.

My dear brother Onyocha, the road incidence to me is the biggest incidence. The spox for Shiaas was adamant on National TV that they have rights to block roads. Not once did he admit wrong in blocking the road.
The incidence that happened afterwards was just mass suicide by people who formed a civilian shield against zakzaky to prevent his arrest. Any Nigerian can be arrested, and no one should be above the law.

In all these, the blame lays majorly on zakzaky. He could have reigned on his stubborn fanatical followers to leave the road, and made himself available to authorities for prosecution.

This is a video by the Nigerian army spox, the same man who was brave enough to first try to talk to the Shia. He was the one painstakingly begging them. He begged them in Allah's name to just let the convoy pass. This is the first hand account

All people need to do is understand what the shia people were saying in the first video to understand the issues were different and had nothing to do with this video.
Listen to both audio for the videos and you would notice the stubbornness this people were exhibiting with no clear reason. Even in the video you hear some asking how many soldiers were killed and that they stay an fight tit tat with the army. Again the people do not seem peaceful.
If truly there was such an issue prior to the COAS visit he would have avoided the visit to Zaria. That is common protocol to prevent any treat to his person. It is obvious from the lack of police presence and the fact the COAS was blocked by this miscreant they did not know of the situation. So to assume such a serious operation was taking place the COAS was not informed until he got into it is clearly not true that the onslaught on there place had occurred before the COAS intended visit to the Emirs palace. which is also close to the place of conflict.

My take is they are also trying to justify there actions of being unruly and stubborn to authorities.

The myth of peaceful procession has been quashed by these videos. There is nothing peaceful in people weilding machetes, cutlasses and even clubs.

A few inferences from the videos going around:
1. The Shias were not peaceful. They clearly refused pacifications by the Nigerian army spokesman (who risked his life in approaching them).
2. The Nigerian army DID NOT set out on that day to kill Shias.
3. The video released by the Shia on this post is even exonerating the army. The soldiers can be seen guarding the road in order to let the COAS pass.
4. The attack on the Hussainiya is being investigated by the army.
5. The death of people is very sad and unfortunate. We can only pray for the families grieving
6. It will be very hard to nail the Nigerian army on the cross, with the videos released so far...unfortunately.

Moving forward, Shias should stop blocking roads and constituting a law unto themselves. This entails all religious sects too (including RCCG on Lagos-Ibadan expressway).
Mr Zakzaky should henceforth reign on his followers to respect the Nigerian law. If they are not comfortable with the Nigerian law vis a vis Shia practices, I suggest they should all apply for Iranian visas and citizenship.

the speaker

Speaker's been sacked as well.

So who will be governor in Rivers pending the bye-election?

As a Muslim, I must be truthful all the time. It was a completely avoidable event. The Shiite brothers must recognize that Nigeria as an entity is multifaceted, multireligious, and multiethnic. We should all learn to practice our religion within the laws of the country we are.
They had no rights to block the major roads in any town. If every religion did that, there will be chaos everywhere.
The general who spoke with the Shiites in the video was very very matured. He shed his powers to try to reason at the level of an ordinary Nigerian citizen. Imagine it was a pregnant woman on the way to hospital, or an injured accident victim being rushed to hospital. You simply cannot block the road like that.
I watched PressTV try to rubbish the whole incident with falsehoods and one sided stories. A pity they went so much overboard that they became liars.
Securitywise, it is very very unsafe for the convoy of the COAS to be held up. He escaped ambush recently by BH, and anyone in that crowd could have intentions to attack the COAS and actually carry out the threat. I believe the Iranians condemning the army will not really tolerate Ayatollah Khomeini's convoy being held up in a hostile environment.

This is hammer blow for BH. No more territories, no more fear, people's lives back to normal.
BH has been boxed to a few km inside Sambisa. December deadline met!

Osimhen will be at London Colney tomorrow to meet with Arsenal officials.

With stolen money? No, we pass.

Goat eating Yam!!

FFK, EFCC is coming for you. This time, they will send officers returning from Gwoza to arrest you. You can speak all your queen's english to them.

#Notinmyname. Nigerian Army has not finished one problem, they are causing another.

vedaxcool:
This guy lucky say I no be the policeman imm for sabi say people dey vex for the criminality wey he jogogoro led govt do.

This is the man who claims to be terribly sick that he needs medical treatment abroad. See as him muscles strong kakaraka!

This has got to be the funniest video of 2015 Nigerian politics. In 2014, it was chei there is God oooo, in 2015, it is 'Im not going anywhere'...
Nigerian police and SSS have a special training in grappling stubborn people by the waist. Once their hand is fully tucked in your waist, you know your centre of gravity is in their hands. The rest is just a matter of pull and drag.
Oga Nimasa, I no pity you at all. When you were swallowing billions, you no remember Nigerians.
Sai baba jor! More criminals will be handled like this or worse.
IN case you have forgotten, this new EFCC chairman no dey smile. He is a terror to thieves and looters.

So far, no humming birds from the East can claim Buhari is targetting their zone. When the hammer starts to fall on Madam Ngozi and co, I hope they will sing the same song as they are doing now.

This was part of the exit strategy. Take as much as you can, even after losing the election, then vacate the post and be called hero. GEJ is going to jail. He will be made a scapegoat. Dasuki's jail is certain.

This is a scam if proven true. Ambode can go down for this. This should be pushed to FP. Let APC and Ambode also feel some of the heat. Its too cold in Lagos.

A timely reminder of what went on. That money in that envelope is close to 200k USD, if not more. Imagine if each delegate got that, then surely Dasuki's disbursements can be easily traced.
But why does GEJ need to bribe delegates when he was the only PDP candidate? GEJ and cluelessness sha.

Later, some ignorant PDP goons will come on here to complain about the economy or Buhari not making 1 USD to equal 1 naira. The house that has been destroyed cannot be built in 1 year! 47m USD in cash will mess up any local currency.

Why is the that Muslims are always involved in every issue of religious violence in this world?

I'm not sure Islam is really a religion of peace as they claim because no other religion has caused the death of so many people in this world.

As a matter the religion claims more life in a year than any tsunami has ever had.

You're an ignorant person, who cant think beyond current situation. Can you tell me how many instances of terrorism occurred before 9/11?

See as the guy resemble Seun Osewa. Seun trying to get his groove on.

Dokpesi has been a criminal for a very very long time. From the days of MKO oceanline, to the days of IBB government, and then to GEJ. Dokpesi does not deserve anything less than death sentence. He is a major enemy of the state.

SLIDEwaxie:
Is there govt responsible for your damages?
Are they the ones who damaged them?
As a responsible and respected conpnay, don't u indulge in insurance scheme that takes care of that?

If govt paid only u, 120mills for damages, how much did the govt gave the people whose houses were burnt and displaced?

U are thief...u better start learning to eat prison food now before it is too late.

Does the office of the NSA even pay damages? Ministry of defence don die? Or the Army HQ if the action was by the army. When did Dasuki become the official disburser of government money?
Everything about these confessions stink. Every single excuses and reasons given for eating the national yam! from praying to special prayers, to damages, to publicity!
When will EFCC invite Dame PEJ?

Mr Nduka! Fear God na. If I am to take your silly claims literally, you are claiming that 120 million naira was paid as damages for 12 newspapers? 10 million per newspaper?
It is better to just start pleading guilty because Mr Ibrahim Magu does not smile. The last time he smiled, this picture was taken.

MizMyColi:
Last I checked,
Security is also a basic need.

She said, and I quote


The Onus is now on Dasuki and GEJ to provide evidence on how said funds was appropriated.

Give the woman a breather please.

Those who died as a direct result of her misappropriations will never let her rest. They will pursue her till she joins them. FACT.

Even those arms were not purchased. The money went into PDP's failed reelection bid. I am seriously angry about the mess PDP put this country into. So much money that could have made significant impacts on the lives of average Nigerians.
I am currently crowdfunding for some widows of soldiers killed by BH to have a wonderful Xmas and New year celebration. We are struggling to raise 0.1 million naira, while some people are casually looting TRILLIONS.
God will surely judge them all.

GEJ just dey depress person everyday. Trillions were sunk into BH, and still the insurgents waxed stronger. It was only when GEJ knew he wont be reelected that he rushed in some SA mercenaries to try chase BH back to Sambisa.
May all those widowed, orphaned, and those who lost family members continue to curse all those involved in these loots. This is inhuman! Worse than BH itself.

This says a lot about BH. Cameroon is not as it paints itself. If Nigeria is bad, Cameroon is worse, and weak. Paul Biya paid huge sums to BH.

DO you know the difference between vandals and thieves? What did they steal?
