Read the article from website. Foundation of Islam was blood. Without human blood Islam cannot survive. There is no love for enemies in Koran as in Bible. Non- Muslims are seen as enemies in Koran.

Tell yourself the truth, when Namadi Sambo was promoted to VP, and the then deputy governor Mr Patrick Yakowa was to be installed as Governor what ensued?

The people threatened war and all that a Christian can't be their governor. Even after his installation, do you think his death was mourned, rather it was celebrated.

His death was a state sponsored death. Kaduna is as deep an Islamic state as Kano.

Yoruba Christians and lies, here's what the bible says:

"Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?
What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?" 2 Corinthians 6:14-15

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.

What's happening in the Muslim world is obeying all the commandments of the most High to the best of our ability without leaving anything out whatsoever, and staying firm in the face of all attrition just as the Taali-ban's did with American invasion till the Nasrilah (help from Allah) comes.
It's on the coat of arms anyway you might want to check it out 'Nasru-minnallah' (victory is from Allah) written in Arabic.
Nigeria is actually a Muslim country from the onset, the colonial masters gave the Mantle of leadership to a Muslim cos they know we are in the best position to lead even though the vast majority of them are christians.
Maybe you should adopt a positive mindset towards islam without bias you will understand will islam is suppose to triumph above any other man made -ism's and -schism's


I actually read the whole article and it was an interesting piece of work. Kudos.

NB: I'm not believing nor disbelieving your work though. Until I conduct an independent research.

I just think we the southern KD people are generally docile, we easily accept what is set before us and not ready to fight for power and control.. especially our old parents who raised us to be too soft and always setting our eyes on god to fight and take revenge for us which I find really funny. I can perceive Kano as very Islamic compared to Kaduna. come on, KD has Churches spread in Every corner, Bars and pubs in Every angle. I give it a 50 50. Tho the muslims are ready to die for power and control so they are more loud In the state than the southern KD people who accept whatever that comes their way.

Nobody had a problem with Islam until they started bombing buildings and beheading people who disagreed with their religion.

Now you're saying Boko Haram is not Islam, they must be Hindu then.

If I may ask, why then do most guys from your state including the southern Kaduna don't like the Igbos and associate with Igbos with mistrust in their mind? It baffles me a lot, Igbos hate oppression and they fight for a just cause. Same with other minority tribes down south who are docile too and are good father christmas to all tribes in the country sharing their oil wealth without thinking of the future. I don't know if the British engineered the minds of the minority tribes to hate the Igbos because they see them as a threat to their dominance. The earlier you youth fight for your rights the better for you all. The nation of Israel don't depend on prayers to fight their enemies. African really have a long way to go. The killings in Kaduna is really terrible but all focus is on south eastern Nigeria. Such a funny country we live in.

tuna85:
That's why I urged you to read again, you failed to channel your annoyance upon your Government instead you are shifting blame on Islaam, pls educate yourself.

Pls read my words better and slowly again

tuna85:
Give me a clear description of the Talibans, who they are then I can tell you if their doings are within the jurisdiction of Islaam or not.

sunnnnyuu:
This writer is either ignorant or selfish, otherwise I see nothing connect conflaske with Boko Haram or Izala with Boko Haram

tujays:
Perception Is everything. you might perceive the Southern KD and middle belt as not liking Igbos and they also think Igbos don't like them by terming the North as the same Including we the Minority that have nothing to do with Islam and the Hausas. I have got some Igbo friends who constantly call me Hausa and Aboki just because I'm from KD even when my names are all Christian names and I being a Christian. I just laugh at them and tell them I got no blood link with the Hausas, I have my own tribe and their are hundreds of tribes all over the north who are Christians. The thing is when the southern part of Nigeria chose to Identify us as Hausas like we are all the same. the reason why it's difficult and would be difficult to divide Nigeria is coz their are millions of minority groups scattered in every region that have been battling the majority tribes around them. so now when Nigeria wants to break up who will go with who?? for example the south south don't want to go with Biafra, neither does the south west, The middle belt don't want to go with the north, neither does the Northern Minorities. this thing is very complex but many southerners don't want to see the bigger picture on how the entire country is structured. they only think Nigeria is all about Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba. but it's far from that. We gotta all give peace a chance coz we have been fighting the same battle from the begging of this entity called Nigeria and not making a head way. we need to evolve and learn to live together with mutual respect and understanding of our cultural and religious differences. we should concentrate on National building, make life easier for the masses and all this blame games and hatred will die an natural death.

VULCAN:
You started off well but sorry to say the ending of your post was utter nonsense.

I say that because you just read how Nasco poured millions of dollars into sponsoring Jihad and Islamic domination and you have the guts to end with we gotta learn to live together in mutual respect and understanding of our religious differences.

Clearly reading the article was a wasted effort on your part.

There has been a war going on for decades against the Christian in this country which he is ignorant of and even when you tell him he responds just like you have.

Does it mean you can't comprehend the fact that these men in power plan to wipe Christianity out here over generations?

It's not a short term plan these guys have. They will hand over to their children and their children will hand over to their own chikdren

Ibkhaleel01:
A muslim can live peacefully with a Christian and will even be just, fair and tolerate the person!

But a Christian can never allow a muslim drink water if they are majority in a place!

We have christians here in the north doing business in the midst of Muslims and prefer to stay here than in their own region the south!!....

Only northern Muslims consider Nigeria as one. And are peaceful and accomodate Christians

You hardly see a Local Government in the North without a Church. You have the right to build your worship centres anywhere in the North even in Sokoto close to the sultan palace we allow churches and even give Bishop Kuka d right to speak, lie and insult us.

We give you land to build your houses and Churches. You observe your religion without any molestation. You dress the way you want. We buy from you, and we sell to you, this happen only in the North!!!!!.


In return, what we get from you chrstians is genocide, molestation, and total rejection. We accommodate you here in the north, you pusue us out of yourir regions using false flag tactics of fulani herdmen.


Your chrstians killed Prime Minister Tafawa Balewa
That's the story you will NEVER tell your children.
The real traitors in Nigeria are chrstians.

Remember Kaduna Nzeogwu, who killed a man he once called father Sardau a of Sokoto?

Did you ever ask about the fate of Igbo Muslims?

We have muslims that are igbos but did you know how badly treated they are at their own region?

This Hypocrites must stop...

Don't t ever think Muslims are fools for been peaceful and silent!

Ibkhaleel01:
They go to work, live, holiday & shop in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait & Qatar.
While there, they subject themselves completely to Sharia laws & Islamic injunctions that govern these countries.
They even learn Arabic to be able to communicate effectively.
But here in Nigeria that is governed by laws & a constitution that is based on the Christian CANONICAL laws...;
here in Nigeria that uses for all its official documents, schedules & civil observances the GREGORIAN calendar named after Pope Gregory XIII, who issued the papal bull Inter gravissimas in 1582, announcing calendar reforms for all of Catholic Christiandom which gave birth to the Gregorian calendar in use today also called the Western or Christian calendar...;
they want to die whenever they see Arabic inscription on anything. They are so afraid of Islamization & are all running away to the Middle East to escape been Islamized by Buhari.
Self-deceit & idiotic hypocrisy should indeed have a limit!!

There plan is keep preaching unity and peace and indirectly in secret they carry out their grand plan to wipe out Christians.

Empiree:
I will love to see when David Hundeyin would do his investigative journalism on Christian manifesto. It seems you are not aware of Christians plan in Nigeria with the help of international community?.

They were/are ready to wipe out Islam in Nigeria. If you need the manifesto visit my profile for their plan. However, there are fallacy in David's write up as well as detailed truth especially with regards to now allowing Christian to rule Nigeria. I am aware of this fact. In the article though, some facts are there that can't be denied. And that's is where Gumi's father during Sheikh Adam era, he said Christians will not be allowed to be ruler in Nigeria and Sheikh Adam tackled him those days and shut him up. This story was narrated by Sheikh Habeeb this past Ramadan.

But your are here saying Muslims are intolerant and this and that but Sheikh Adam (ra) fought for the Christians to be president in Nigeria. Then what happened?. Wasnt Obj, a christian the first democratically elected president since 1999?
I voted for him based on ethnicity but the man messed up by bringing up Christianity agenda.

So please endeavor to read Christian manifesto about their plan to end Islam in Nigeria but they failed. However they are still pursuing the agenda. This is why they don't want to see Muslims in high positions in the south West.

Theunbothered:
We have had three different presidents but followers of one religion have been bombing people all over Nigeria for the last 12 years.

It is always someone else's fault, maybe it's those pesky Hindus.
