He is alone on this. We the good northerners have forgiven the Igbos wholeheartedly.

Pakute:
Controversial Islamic cleric, Sheikh Sani Yahaya Jingir, has come under fire as many Nigerians have roundly condemned him over an inciting video where he openly said the Fulani people will never forgive the Igbo for killing First Republic politician, Sir Ahmadu Bello.


Bello was the Sardauna of Sokoto, during the 1966 coup led by Maj. Chukwuma Kaduuna Nzeogwu, which many have come to refer as the ‘Igbo Coup’.

The Jos, Plateau State-based Sheikh Jingir who is the National Chairman of the Izala Islamic Movement, stirred controversy following a sermon he made on Friday where he harshly criticized a group of Islamic scholars led by an Igbo Muslim scholar, Sheikh Sambo Rigachukwu, who hosted the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, and some leaders of the opposition coalition under the African Democratic Congress (ADC).


During the meeting with Sheikh Rigachukwu, Obi was dressed in a traditional Hausa attire which apparently got Sheikh Jingir angry, leading him into making the inciting comments during his sermon.


Expressing anger and disapproval at the visit, Sheikh Jingir who spoke with anger in the video, said in Hausa language:

“If those scholars are not insane, why would you dress someone from the tribe that killed our Sardauna in Hausa garments? We will never forgive the Igbo for that. Shame on you for receiving the killer of Sardauna! How can you welcome them".

The issue at hand is Eboes

Look at the title of the thread

I am just introducing perspectives on How the Ibom Isi too over Arochukwu, used that platform to sell Eboes as slaves for centuries and still reign there till this day

More Eboe History



The person speaking to the igbos as you said is a Fulani man and the person replying you is also telling you how his people (the fulanis) have conquered your people in kwara and you are talking ibom ish whatever... Na mennnn you are on a lost course!

HelllyKa:
This kind of statement coming from someone in Sheikh Jingir's position is not just disappointing — it’s dangerous. We’re talking about a country that has seen enough bloodshed from ethnic and religious conflict. For a cleric to openly say "the Fulani will never forgive the Igbo" for a political coup that happened nearly 60 years ago is nothing short of incitement.

Let’s be clear: Ahmadu Bello’s death was part of a historical military coup, not an ethnic conspiracy. Holding an entire ethnic group responsible for something done by a few individuals in uniform decades ago is completely unfair and fuels division.

And to be angry simply because Peter Obi wore Hausa attire? That’s the kind of symbolic unity Nigeria needs more of, not less. Obi dressing in Hausa clothing while visiting Muslim scholars should be seen as a gesture of respect, not a provocation.

Sheikh Jingir's comments are reckless and go against the values of peace, unity, and forgiveness that religious leaders are supposed to stand for. If Nigeria is to move forward, we need to stop preaching hate over history.

LagosOrigin:
The northerners are wise now, nobody takes this man and his likes serious again in the north .

This format don caste tey tey

Ewooo!!! 2027 started early.

You will begin to hear different songs and messages being released in every part of the north if Obi happens to get the presidential ticket. It happened during last election but on a low-key. That's why Obi couldn't get anything in the core north. This sentiment isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

aswani:
I said much the same last elections, the Friday before elections, up and down in Mosques all over the North, people will be reminded about (perceived Ndigbo) treachery and urged who not to vote.

The North never forgets abuses and insults, they just bide their time to pay people back.

EmiloCorn:
Do you support what this man said against the Igbos? You don't see anything bad in it?

Remember there were pogroms even before the said coup. Someone once accused you of being anti-igbo, is this post of yours not lending credence to that accusation?
