Let's talk sensibly. What do you think makes Sultan a terrorist, going by the latest definition of the word "terrorist"? No insult please.

He threatened reprisal attack on those that attacked fulani. That's hate peach and an act of terrorism.

Dr. Stephen Dami Mamza, The Catholic Bishop of Yola Diocese, Dr. Stephen Dami Mamza, who is also the Chairman of the Adamawa State chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria, tells HINDI LIVINUS that the Sultan of Sokoto is creating tension in the state with his comments on the Numan clashes


Do you agree that the recent bloody clash in Numan was a declaration ofwar against the Muslims?


As a Catholic Bishop and Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria, I will condemn all kinds of killings because Christianity does not approve the deliberate taking of innocent lives. However, it is wrong for people to conclude, without waiting for the release of the report of investigations being carried out by security agencies, and declare that the Muslims were the target. Everybody in Adamawa State knowsthat what happened in three or four villages in Numan, where people were killed, had nothing to do with religion. I am sure many Muslims will concur with me that it is another in the series of clashes that are really very common here between farmers and herdsmen. We have been experiencing it for over a decade now. It is not unusual for a particular group to suffer more casualties than another when such clashes occur. In this case, I don’t think there’s any religious intention in the whole thing.

What is your view on the Sultan of Sokoto’s statement condemning the killing of Fulani in the Numan area of the state?

I appreciate the Sultan for condemning the incident but I will disagree with him for not coming out with similar condemnation when certain groups of tribes are at the receiving end. The killing in Numan did not only affect a particular tribe, some people from other tribes were also killed in the process. As religious leaders, we should be prepared at all times, to condemn any form of bloody attacks whether the victims are adherents of our religion or not. The Holy Bible for instance, forbids all forms of killings.

But Sultan warned that the Fulani’s patience and silence should not be misconstrued for weakness!I think the comment of the Sultan has actually increased the tension here in Adamawa State. A highly-placed religious leader like him is not expected to make such a misguided statement, because this is not the first time that we would experience killings in the state. As a religious and spiritual leader, what I will expect of him is to condemn all forms of killings and not to single out this incident because the Fulani are involved or that some of them are victims. He is not the leader of the Fulani alone; he’s the leader of all Muslims. So he should not be seen as a sectional leader. That statement should have come from the leader of the Fulani and not fromthe Sultan because he is a Muslim leader. This crisis has no religious connotation; so, he shouldn’t have spoken in the tone he did as if he were speaking on behalf of the Fulani.

Some people also considered his statement as a threat to peace?

That’s why I said that his commentshave actually heightened the tension in Numan and several other local government areas in the state. Why did he single out Numan? We have had so many killings in the past in the state, and across the country, involving Fulani herdsmen. So, for him to have singled out the clashes in Numan, and say the killing of Fulani should not go unpunished, is worrisome. I did not expect that kind of comments from a religious leader like the Sultan of Sokoto, if he actually said so because I learnt that somebody spoke on his behalf. And I don’t know whether it was his script that was read.

Don’t you think that the Sultan’s statement may be as a result of the high number of casualties recorded during the Numan clashes?

Let us go back to what happened in 2016 and this year, 2017, which makes it even baffling that the Sultan singled out this particular incident for condemnation. On the 24th of January, 2016, in Koh village, Girei, more than 80 persons were killed, while many houses were burnt. Bags of grains were destroyed and several other persons, who got missing, had yet to be found. But I didn’t hear a single comment from the Sultan of Sokoto then.

Also, 30 people were killed in Kodomun between 29th of July and 1st of August last year. Again, I never heard any comment from the Sultan. Even, on the 7th of January this year, in a place called Kwayine, five gallant policemen were murdered. All the killings were actually carried out by herdsmen.

Is it now that the Sultan is now aware that there were killings taking place in Adamawa?

The Sultan should be a bridge builder for the different religions and ethnic nationalities in the country. It is not in the interest of peace for us to single out a particular incident for condemnation. We shouldn’t create the impression that there are inferior and superior killings. Every murdered soul is important, whether he is a Fulani or a farmer. The life of a Fulani is not superior to that of a Bachama, a Hausa, Yoruba or Igbo. Life is sacred and every soul is very important.

You once blamed the government for doing nothing to stop the frequent clashes between farmers and herdsmen in the state. Has your position changed now?

I have not changed my position on the issue. I suggested the setting up of a judicial panel to investigate the previous clashes while the report should be made public and that government should punish all those responsible for the wicked acts. I am not happy that the reportsof the investigations carried out on similar incidents in the past by administrative panels were not made public and the government did not act on them.If the government had taken its responsibilities seriously when such incidences occurred and those responsible were punished, similar ones will not happen.

Do you think that the government will accept your advice this time round and set up a judicial panel?


The government must ensure that whatever committee that would be set up to investigate the Numan clashes should be objective. It should not include people who are already expressing biased opinions on the incident; otherwise, we won’tget any result from it.

I left Islam because I studied Muhammad's life.
I accepted the Gospel because I studied Jesus' life.
1.When I studied Muhammad's life, what I found was a gold digger who in his 25 years of age married a 40-year old wealthy widow (Khadijah), Muhammad got troubled and terrified when he started receiving revelation from the fallen angel, even though he admitted that he was demon possessed, his wealthy wife convinced him to proclaim the revelation. He moved on to marry a 6 year old child named Aisha when he was 52 and consummated his marriage when Aisha was nine years old.
He was received by Jewish community as a refugee after he claimed that he was fleeing persecution from his own Meccan people who accused him of intolerance against their Pagan religion. Few years after he was sheltered and supported by the Jewish community, he plot to conquer them and eventually turned against them and wiped out the entire Jewish tribe out of Arabia. He was known for his warmongering. Himself participated in 28 bloody wars which are called Ghuzwa, and sent troops 54 times for different bloody wars, altogether there are 82 wars under his watch and commands.
A man who has been a role model for groups like Isis, Al-Qaeda, Taliban, Boko Haram, Al-Nusra, Islamic Jihad, Al-Shabaab, Abu Sayyaf and other Islamic terrorist groups, doesn't deserve anyone's respect but criticism and mockery.
He was poisoned to death by his Jewess maid when he slaughtered her entire family. He's dead and will never return again but his legacy continues to wreck havoc and chaos around the world.
-------
2.When I studied Jesus's life, what I found was the one who was born without sin, he dedicated his life serving the poor, he created bread and wine to feed the poor, stopped group of men from stoning a woman to death, healed the sick, lame, blind, deaf and raises people from the dead, he commands storm to calm, he exorcise a boy possessed by a demon, he performed numerous miracles and demonstrated his power over nature and spirits.
People from all over the world from different ethnicity, nationality, race and religions are healed everyday in the name of Jesus. Non-believers dream of him and embrace him without been told to do so.
Jesus died on the cross, buried and was resurrected, ascended to Heaven, and is coming back again. The story of Jesus is a story everyone would be proud to share.
No one has ever invoked his name to commit atrocity because he has always condemn violence and told his followers not to pay back evil with evil.
Religion misleads people but Jesus saves people, No matter how good you are; no matter how religious you are; no matter what you do for God, you can never be good enough, or holy enough to earn salvation, any plan of salvation that is based on the efforts of man is doomed to failure.
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. (Eph. 2:8-9,
-----
Jesus vs Muhammad is not like Apple vs Orange, It's Good vs Evil, Light over Darkness. the difference is clear even though some are too blind to see it and to acknowledge the great gap between the 2, they still fall the victim of early indoctrination and ignorance .

1. Between the person who launch an annihilation attack and he who threatens reprisal, who's supposed to be termed a terrorist?

2. Can you give me a link in which he threatened reprisal?

This Sultan needs to be seriously cautioned by d authorities. How can you claim to be a leader and be chronically biased. Fulani herdsmen has been decleared as international terrorist group, het he said nothing. They have killed tens of thousands across the land, nobody was arrested.

I think we should solve Nigeria problem ones and for all.


It is a big shame to hear such a thing from the Sultan.

How did we make a racist n a religion fanatics a sultan? Our race is suffering from lack of sensible leaders

I am not surprise because bible says:
1 Samuel 15:3 New International Version (NIV) Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’” Footnotes: a. 1 Samuel 15:3 The Hebrew term refers to the irrevocable giving over of things or persons to the LORD, often by totally destroying them; also in verses 8, 9, 15, 18, 20 and 21.

Yes every dick and harry is now talking bcz it is the SULTAN.

WHERE were u guyz when when the CAN is promoting hate speechs
WHERE were u guyz when the socalled CAN was implicated in a corrruption scandal

U guyz are just bunch of hypocrates and the shameless can is not helping matters either. Shame on u all.

Now that is Christians killing Fulani , it
Is not religious! It is not christianization agenda ? Hypocrites!

Very very misguided statement indeed. They just talk anyhow without recourse to the implications. This country belongs to everyone and not some sets of people. Fulani people used to be the most peaceful sets of people because they don't disturb other people and we're well organised and settled in their hamlets. But their deliberate harbouring of bororo people from niger and Chad is a source of concerning a time bomb but they seems not to realise it until it consumes them most. The recklessness and voracity at which the emir of Kano delivered that speech I highly commendable. Don't set bad precedence and allow ethnic bigotry to becloud your sense of reasoning. Sooner than imagined the whole tribes in the Country will see them as treat just due to unguarded reckless speeches.

And where was the Sultan when it was the other way around,guess he was busy chewing Gworo...#HYPOCRITE

We need to prepare for WAR...
But I am afraid a lot of christians will die.because our pastors through there teaching have turn a lot Christian members to cowards.
Go and read your bible about the Israeli, they have been fighting war since the days of Adam and eve.

LISTEN!
GOD will not come down to fight for Christians.
4 million Jews were massacred by the Germany's army heaven did not fall.

YOU!
have you handle a Gun?
Have you watched a man died before?
Can you stand the sight of blood?
Or a graphic images of a dead man?

No country,community or individuals seek out for war But they are always be prepared for it.

In a sane environment the statement of the sultan is an act of war punishable by death.

1. A religious leader should condemn attacks not calling for reprisal. By calling for reprisal, does he mean that the foolanis should also be killed in Enugu, Benue, Ekiti, Plateau and all the states that foolanis have been wrecking havock?

the stupid sultan should be arrested.

The sultans comment I think was based on the high killings of a particular tribe n religion which was deliberate.May be he is trying to let the killers know that, they shud not repeat such in other not to worsen the situation.I also expect the CAN leader to condemn the killings and not to deviate from the main issue and be blaming the sultan

Last warning

or else you will bomb yourself as usual?


see me look at you

am not sure the sultan made such comments, but if he did, then its sad. but the basic point is his muteness in the face of naked injustice like bubu. he saw other people been slaugthered in larger numbers, yet he kept quite. now he is allegedly to be talking because his people 're the victims, he ought to 've continued to be mute as well. our leaders must learn to rule with justice, because in any nation where injustice 're allowed to prevail, no one is actually safe, not even the leaders.

Religion is creating real problem in this country. I'm afraid this country can't grow more than this if we continue this way.

especially in the north, if they don't change their way of life things won't get better over there. Religion is the major problem of the north.

All religious leaders in the country are guilty of that offence.

Remember the controversial kill on sight order akporstle Suleiman gave to his church members to kill any Fulani man sighted around his church, even without provocation?

If I can remember very well, other Christian leaders spoke in his support.... So my friend, leave matter for Mathias jare
