Social Media Users In Northern Nigeria Attack BBC For Publishing Photo Of Saudi King Shaking Hands With Germany’s Angela Merkel

Social media users from Northern Nigeria have attacked British Broadcasting Corporation (Hausa Service) for publishing a picture of King Salman of Saudi Arabia shaking hands with German Chancellor, Angela Merkel.

BBC Hausa had on Tuesday morning published the picture of the duo together on its online platform.

“Saudi King Salman emphasizes Germany's importance to freedom of expression,” the photo was captioned.

But some commentators from Northern Nigeria accused the British media organisation of ‘undermining Islam’ by using a picture that shows the custodian of Islam’s holiest place in a handshake with a woman.

Some also accused it of ‘working for Jews’ and warned the staff to be cautious of what they called the “wrath of God”.

Earlier on Monday, social media users from Northern Nigeria lashed out at people of Niger Republic, accusing them of losing their faith and being on the verge of becoming infidels after online Hausa medium, Damagaram Post of Niger Republic, published a picture of a lady from Damagaram participating in a beauty pageant.

In the photo, a girl identified as Maimouna Harouna was asked to be voted as ‘Miss Zinder’.

The post, however, didn’t go down well with a number of Northern Muslims, some of whom quickly condemned and described the action as “haram”, an act forbidden under Islamic law.

Before then, 26-year-old Hausa actress, Rahama Sadau, was accused of stirring controversy and blasphemy after she shared some of her photos on social media wherein she wore a backless dress, which brought out her curves.

The development generated controversy with several conservative Muslims lashing out at her for going against Islamic tenets of dressing.

Islamic scholar, Lawal Gusau, asked the Nigeria Police Force to arraign the Kannywood actress before a Sharia court over her dressing.

“A god who let us prove his existence would be an idol.” -Dietrich Bonhoeffer

El-Rufai had said: “Nigeria consists of two countries; there is a backward, less educated & unhealthy northern Nigeria, and a developing, largely educated and healthy southern Nigeria.

We have to speak the truth to ourselves and ask why is it that northern Nigeria has development indicators similar to Afghanistan, a country still at war?.."

"...Northern Nigeria is today the poorest place on Earth, with 13 million out of school kids, a radical Islamic insurgency, and bandits more feared than government, yet the North’s two top priorities today are censoring social media and Rahama Sadau’s ‘indecent’ dressing..." -credits

Even the UAE has taken steps towards modernization by decriminalizing alcohol and suicide.However, the fanatic Hisbah police in Kano is destroying alcohol whose tariffs & payable tax are part of the consolidated govt revenues being shared as allocation from the central government to the state.What hypocrisy!

They are obsessed with condemning the social media but using same to fight for a helpless god while abandoning their own fight for good governance to an uncertain fate.How can people cohabit peacefully with these disproportionate range of world views?

Just when some Muslims insist that they can't shake hands with women.

Then you see the head of Muslim community shaking hands with ordinary woman. Is this world not wonderful.

At a time that UAE is relaxing its hard stance on alcohol consumption, crates of beer worth hundreds of million of naira is being destroyed in the North.

At a time Saudi Crown Prince is issuing drivers license to women, allowing them to stadia to watch football matches and generally relaxing a lot of some archaic practice that Muslims consider pleases Allah, northen Nigeria people are bashing a certain actress for wearing show-back dress, bashing another for participating in pageantry and bashing BBC for posting a picture of a 'holy' king in a handshake with a woman who they most probably consider an "infidel".

Ganduje is promising to increase the salaries of "Soldiers of Allah" who destroyed beer and beer parlours. But if northern states are excluded from VAT from beer now, you will see northern governors threatening fire and brimstones.

Northern Nigeria is 2 centuries behind Southern Nigeria.

Which makes it a dangerous practice when leaders of northern extraction who are in charge of this country try to pin the South down so the North can play 'Catch-up'.

Because it means they wanna pin down the South for 2 centuries so that the North can catch-up which is not even guaranteed.

Northern Nigeria needs to be scandalized and secularized.

The people who introduced the religion to them are freeing themselves from religion slavery but those who adopted the religion think they know it more than those who brought it to them.

I am tired of sharing the same Country with people who think so backwardly like these lots.
They are in shackles, life is not all about religion.
It is same religion that their elites have been using to enslave them in the far North.

My thoughts too.
Why can't they call out the king instead of the people merely reporting the news.
This people are wonderfully made. Tueh!
