honeric01: By trying to make it sound like a christian vs Muslim's thread.

acidtalk: If Terrorism as you claimed is associated with Islam, then i doubt if there will still be a living soul left in Nigeria as it is widely believed Muslims are 50% or slightly more of the Nigerian population, If all Muslims believe in Mass killing in order to enter paradise don't you think it will need only less than 1 million Nigeria Muslims to wipe out the 75million Christians in Nigeria? Take a deep thought on that.

Then if you are still adamant on Islam being synonymous to Terrorism then you will also want to agree Homosexuality is also synonymous to Christianity?

honeric01: Is this about terrorism or religious leaders being the major part of the problems in Nigeria? stop the derailing.

Beaf!:
^
Around what time exactly did terrorism start, especially in Nigeria?

Counter those things the poster mentioned about the ungodly activities of your socalled pastors. And I will be waiting to answer the above question of yours.

On and one the stories and examples are too numerous to mention. But the bottom line is, it is now evident rather than these religious leaders to preach the word of God and educate their congregation on how to act according to the laid down rules of God Almighty so as to avoid Hell Fire, they are all out there preaching prosperity and worldly gains which directly has led to the high rate to crime and illicit acts in the society and the world over.

Rhino.5dm:
Of what business of your is this thread? Are you done with your parliamentary election already? Even their so-called objective folks can't stay away from ethnic bigotry. SMH!

PointB: That is one of Gbawe's well 'balanced' and objective posters, from his SW/AC.N who normally don't engage in ethnic supremacy. I agree we should give this ranting a wide berth.

afam4eva: Pls, Igbos should ignore this thread.

sayusuf: if its true, i bet my life, u cant touch fulani and go free.. Expect sacking of villages, and massacre from them soon..fulani are very deadly..even hausa fear them

dayokanu: Mods according to Nairaland rules and regulation, Any thread with the use of vernacular should be in the culture section

alj harem: Keep decieving yourself. 13 % Heck the SW fought to resource control thus they own there resource.

why stop at 13 % why not fight for complete resource control like the west did, are your leaders afraid of hunger ?

alj harem: No that is a lie

While SS, WEST AND AREWA were calling for resource control with did Ohaneze do ? Nothing

If you think the west and north are scared of resource control (which Awolowo and saro wiwa fought for) bros think again.

Even till date we still want resource control it only the Ohaneze that don't want it in the prospect of SS joining them this cajoling all the oil producing area.

None of my business so long as you do not take yoruba speaking part of Niger-delta aka Ilaje, Akoko, itsekiri, I am fine,

alj harem: And Okoro don't do the same ?

Parasite, you people just want Niger-delta by all means and it would not happen

odumchi: There are other organizations whose sole purpose is to work for the betterment of Nigeria; it's not a crime that we decided to focus only on the Igbo. What you're saying is like why is Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo an organization working for the aims of the Igbo? In fact, why not Ohanaeze Nigeria? Ohanaeze Africa? Ohanaeze Humanity?

Please, let's drop this topic. It's only interfering with what we are trying to do.

noiseless: I wonder what would have been on everyones lips had it been mosques and worshipers inside them are the ones getting blown up like this.

“Christian blood has again been spilt in Nigeria according to a now clear plan of ethnic and religious cleansing,” said International Cooperation Minister Andrea Riccardi, the founder of a Catholic charity active in Africa.

Harbb: A purported spokesman for Boko Haram has claimed responsibility for Sunday’s attacks and threatened further violence.
“We are responsible for the suicide attack on a church in Jos and also another attack on another church in Biu,” the spokesman calling himself Abul Qaqa told reporters in the northeastern city of Maiduguri in a phone conference.
“We launched these attacks to prove the Nigerian security wrong and to debunk their claim that we have been weakened by the military crackdown,” he said, speaking in the Hausa language common throughout Nigeria’s north.
“The Nigerian state and Christians are our enemies and we will be launching attacks on the Nigerian state and its security apparatus as well as churches until we achieve our goal of establishing an Islamic state in place of the secular state.”
The attacks took place at evangelical churches in the central city of Jos and the northeastern town of Biu, both of which have been hit before by violence blamed on Boko Haram.
“The suicide bomber did not drive into the church before the explosion. He was in front of it,” police spokesman Abuh Emmanuel said of the Jos attack. “The church building collapsed entirely due to the intensity of the bombing.”
Local government spokesman Pam Ayuba told AFP that two people plus the bomber died and 41 were wounded.
A reporter at the scene said angry Christian youths assaulted local Muslims after the bombing.
The second attack killed at least one person and wounded several when gunmen opened fire during a service in Biu, Samson Bukar, the local Christian Association of Nigeria chairman, told AFP.
“One female worshipper was killed while several others were wounded, two of them critically. The gunmen escaped after the attack,” Bukar said.
Italy’s International Cooperation Minister Andrea Riccardi condemned the attack and called for international action to stop Boko Haram.
“Christian blood has again been spilt in Nigeria according to a now clear plan of ethnic and religious cleansing,” said Riccardi, who is also the founder of a Catholic charity active in Africa.
“The international community can no longer look on at this massacre of innocent people without intervening.”
Boko Haram’s attacks have grown increasingly sophisticated and have begun affecting a wider area, spreading from their base in the northeast across the wider north and down to the capital Abuja, in the centre of the country.
It claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing of UN headquarters in Abuja in August that killed at least 25 people and a suicide attack on the Abuja office of one of the country’s most prominent newspapers.
Its deadliest attack yet occurred in the northern city of Kano in January, when at least 185 people died in coordinated bombings and shootings.
Boko Haram also claimed a bomb attack at a church near the capital on Christmas day that killed at least 44 people.
Jos lies on the fault line between the Muslim-majority north and the Christian-dominated south.
In addition to the recent Boko Haram violence, repeated cycles of clashes and reprisal attacks in and around Jos have left several thousand people dead in recent years.
Biu is located in the northeastern state of Borno, which has been Boko Haram’s base.
The group’s mosque and headquarters were located in the Borno state capital of Maiduguri until a 2009 military assault destroyed them, an operation that left some 800 people dead.
Heavy-handed military crackdowns have so far failed to stop the group. Members are believed to have received training in northern Mali from Al-Qaeda’s north African branch.
An attempt at dialogue between the government and Boko Haram in March collapsed when a mediator quit and a spokesman for what is seen as the group’s main faction said they could not trust the government.

Gbawe: You are nothing but a hateful cretin malevolently obsessed with personalities. The OP's rant is highly distasteful and incendiary. The specific topics mentioned are the sort of talk, clearly produced to upset others, I never respond to on this forum and most folks can bear that out as the truth.

If I had the chance of responding, before a dunce such as yourself had preempted issues, I would have nothing but condemnation for the write-up of the OP which is arrant and provocative nonsense to me. Stupid talk about the civil war, regional political supremacy, innate superior smartness of ethnic groups et al simply bore me because I know those obsessed with those talk are probably losers in life fixated on the past when they should be firmly focused on a future them and their children can enjoy. You will notice I scarcely discuss the civil war or the past here.

Individuals[b] personally[/b] doing well are always secure in themselves and the last to chest-beat over perceived ethnic/group achievements. For example, a balanced Yoruba person can rate Tinubu's achievements and even be proud of it but only a loser does so to the extent of suggesting all other Yorubas are similarly talented or politically astute. Absolute bunkums !!!!

What Nigeria needs is good leadership that will allow us all to thrive. I , for example, just want to be able to get into my Country and enjoy the same stable electricity I took for granted wherever it was I was coming from. If I have that, then you, the OP and the Onlytruths of the world can carry on your ethnic d.i.ck comparisons. I don't have time to view things the way OP does.

Anyway enjoy your thread since you are now consumed with a desire to stalk certain poster to taint them with infamy that their writing directly refutes. Before we know it, you will say I am the main hater of Ojukwu on NL when I never mention the bloke or the war here!!!! Next time, try very hard to respect other posters by refraining from ruining the usage of the forum for them with your obsessive malevolent attention. Because I have told fools like you off does not mean I support hate-promoting rants such as that this thread is based on. Next time, don't mention me in a thread like this.

Point B

I'm not igbo, but simply giving my opinion here.

if you're really trying to make this office work (as opposed to joking around), then I suggest you look at these things from a fresh angle.

to the best of my knowledge, this is the first of its kind so far on nl, and it would be nice could have something in place that shows you mean what you said in the original post.

2012 is almost gone and if there's going to be another election soon, then too much time has been wasted already.

Some of it has been spent fighting.
