Some years ago, When Makarfi was the governor of Kaduna state, there was a war btw Iraq and Iran or was it Kuwait (can't say). Next thing, these guys started giving a crisis undertone inKaduna. Makarfi gave an instruction that an empty plane be made ready for a free trip to Iraq/Iran for whomever wants to fight. He said nobody should bring that nonsense to Kaduna. That was how everyone respected themselves and no one showed up on the plane. That man still remains my best governor of Kaduna so far.

By the way, he was a Muslim o but he had zero tolerance for BS.

The problem is not actually these dumb and violent morons...

They are merely tools in the hands of their leaders, mentors, and Imams.

They are like zombies without common sense.

I won't be surprised that the girl was killed at the instigation of these elites.

Same thing happened to my uncle in a village called DAN AlHAJI 2

He rode bike pass where the Muslims were praying , they nearly killed him but what said him was that he is so good in hausa language .
He has spent 11 years in the north before the incident in 2007 but was new to that village

He pleaded in hausa and others helped to beg.
His landlord was the one that calmed the others down.

But I lived with Muslims in lafia
My friends Sadiq and hussein were both Muslims.

We would stay awake in front of the central mosque bukan sidi until 11pm.

We do go to state hotel together at night.
Late Abdul accepted me as his brother .

[quote author=MrBachelor post=112792490]Something similar almost happened to a corper in a certain northerner state where I served. He urinated in a gutter close to a mosque, and they accused him of desecrating their holy ground. He was quickly descended upon and beaten by a mob. Knives were already drawn. Luckily he escaped them, jumped into a friend's waiting car and that one sped off.

Those marrafuckers pursued on bikes, wielding sticks, knives, and machetes. Already, those corpers don put call, so men don already prepare dey wait. We left the gate open, and as soon as they drove into the compound we opened fire on the marauders. They had no idea we had guns - very good guns by the way. grin.

No ask me why(or how) corpers go get guns. But we had them, and very willing to use them. cool[/quot

Deborah's murder reminds me of my service year in Yobe state as a youth corper.

I can't forget that experience in a hurry and I keep asking myself why these Muslims can so misinterprete issues to suit what they are planning to do.

We had a certain female Corp member from Delta state, she likes painting her lips like � and putting on trousers. Unknown to her she became the subject of a serious hatred and an apparent plan to kill her was in the pipe line.

You know these people have a way of coordinating their murderous acts, it's a chain that includes the high and low in their society.

So corper Blessing was teaching one day in class and a particular student was busy distracting others, she tried to caution the boy and get him to concentrate but boy keep disturbing the rest of the class, Unknown to her, that was the trap. The said boy was writing in his note book and kept tiring them out, so when she went to the boy's desk, she picked up the pieces of paper and threw them away. The boy stood up and left the classroom.

Boom! Not upto 30mins, another teacher came to Blessing and asked her why she would desecrate the coran, she was so surprised to hear that and decided to ask the teacher where she got that kind of news. To cut the story short, the teacher asked Blessing to leave the school premises immediately else she would be kill.

Blessing quickly left the school to her lodge where she told other corp members what had transpired in school. As she was still speaking, a large crowd of Muslims youth were charging and chanting towards the corpers lodge with sticks and knives, they corpers quickly ran towards the gate to lock it , at that point it became a back and push in the gate as the knew that if the youth gained entrance into the place, they maybe more casualties. This happened in Potiskum.

At that point, calls where coming into to the zonal office for help, I was one of the corper rep in the zone assisting the ZI and LI, the ZI, a Yoruba man quickly called the police, there was no action, he called the army, nothing happened, we started praying for God to intervene, we were asked to go see the Emir, we did, but you could sense the whole town was waiting to hear that Blessing had been killed before action would be taken.

What shocked me most was that our LI, a Muslim was so furious, saying she deserves to die for desecrating the Quran, but thankfully our ZI called a Army topnotch in the south east who had to call the yobe command. ( I don't know the process but it was so fast), military personnels came in two vans to take us to the location of the corpers, you won't believe the crowd, youth wielding sticks, knives and a tray but when they saw the military they started running, all the corpers members were evacuated, the two vans couldn't take everyone, so most of the soldiers has to walk beside the vans for us to get out of that place to the zonal office.

We started wandering how writing quranic citations in a piece of paper or a notebook made the paper or notebook a quran.

As the madness was going on in the town, I was given one of the worst task of my life as the ZI mandated me to snick Blessing out of the town.

While concern people where coming to find out what happened, I took Blessing through the backyard, and then out of the gate, picked okada towards Damaturu with Blessing looking completely different (her lips cleaned and dressed like a northern girl with her head covered) and crying profusely. We succeeded in sending her to Damaturu and that was her last day in Potiskum as she completed the remaining part of her service year at the state headquarters.

This religious misinterpretation must stop forthwith. Deborah death is one of too many cases of religious extremists and fanatics taking the lives of innocent people.

POTISKUM....hmmm that town is a very calm but extremely volatile place.

Imagine almajiris stoning my mum because she was walking with a man, and the said man happens to be my dad....

In the case of that girl murdered in sokoto, why didn't the school security call police because normally a police station is always situated close to schools or is there something the school is not telling us....I really don't get it

The school authorities are complicit in her murder... Forget all these stories.

These murdering urchins can do nothing without directives and support from higher placed extremists who claim to be sophisticated.

In the case of this beautiful damsel that was killed,I didn't see or hear anything like blasphemy,but they just killed the innocent girl under that guise.


Don't be surprised,that the school put a call accross to the school security to hand her over and pretended like they were overpowered.

Islam is a curse to mankind.


School security that I know are brutal,you dare not do anyhow ,even cultists they fear them.

How come they couldn't protect the innocent girl
The school securities are Muslim too, I bet they didn't do shit. The poor girl stood no chance

Living among northern Muslims is as dangerous as finding yourself in a den of hungry lions.
They can turn on you at any moment.
It's an unimaginable nightmare!

The very annoying thing about them is that the ones in the south act so meek as if they can never hurt a fly, whereas they're all the same.


The most unfortunate part about Deborah's story is that even if she had found a way to escape, they still would've made others suffer for it.
Lives would've been lost.

Interesting story. However, you failed to point out that the Muslims cautioned her over indecent dressing before planning an attack. That's their normal style. They caution you first and when you pay deaf ears. They attack you. Blessing must have ignored all warnings about decent dressing. These warnings are dished out right from camp.

Back in the days at kaduna around year 2002 during that Sharia time we lived amongst Muslims almost the only Christians on that street but we were fluent with Hausa and most of them knew our religion tho. My younger sister use to visit a Muslim neighbors house to plait her hair almost often. She came back one day after plaiting her hair and was narrating her ordeal of how they were plaining on killing her and throwing her inside the well in the middle of the house . All this they said in confidence because they didn’t she was wise enough at that age to deduct what they were saying but my sis was already talking then and understood everything. God saved her she didn’t talk all those while she went there.

One stupid fanatic insisting on writing his name on vehicle manifest in Arabic language instead of English and my offence that day was to correct him.
