5th ANNIVERSARY OF ZARIA MASSACRE
We can’t forget, let alone forgive!

12-14th December, 2020 mark exactly 5 years of Zaria massacre perpetrated by bloodthirsty Nigerian army under the order and watch of Buhari regime, where they did all sort of evil and crimes against humanity. Within two days they mercilessly and inhumanely massacred over 1000+ innocent civilians for no offence. They butchered many infants and babies that knew nothing other than to be breastfed. They also set ablaze the 70+ year old senior Sister to Sheikh Zakzaky who was in dire need of water to survive.

During those two days they wiped out 39 families from existence, mercilessly butchered 193 children, murdered 297 women, 548 men and 23 pregnant women, set ablaze hundreds of vehicles in utter show of barbarism and senselessness, mercilessly and inhumanely exhumed corpses of martyrs that were buried at Darurrahma burial ground.

It was during the period in question that they buried all the corpses of the killed Shi’ah citizens in mass graves at Mando and other places in Kaduna state without the consent of their families and proper ritual as recommended by any religion and without differentiation between genders, with the worst being some of them were buried alive, begging for water to survive. They also demolished worship centers, graveyards and the resident of the leader of the Islamic Movement Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky.

Hence we come out in large numbers today to commemorate five years of this tragic persecution that has not been meted to any community in Nigeria apart from us by Buhari regime. How can we even forget this catastrophic genocide against innocent souls? Indeed till the end of time, Zaria massacre will continue to be remembered by generations to come, just like so many unfortunate massacres before it are being remembered, where the perpetrators are being cursed and the wrath of Allah invoked against them.

Five years on after this massacre, the federal government has failed in justifying its inglorious action against the Islamic Movement in Nigeria. Even the road blockade it has televised to the nation has come to naught, because the public refused to buy into their narration. So also the campaign they started, claiming that Sheikh Zakzaky and his followers are a nuisance to their neighbors became a laughing stock among the public. To cap it all, a federal high court sitting in Abuja declared the detention of our leader as alien to any known Nigerian law, hence it ordered for his release, which the federal government contemptuously refused to obey. Therefore it is clear to all and sundry that Sheikh Zakzaky is in detention courtesy of the dictatorial tendencies exhibited by the ruling elites in Buhari regime as instructed by their Saudi Wahabi masters.

During these five long years the Islamic Movement hasn’t taken any retaliatory measure, it rather chooses to follow the path of wisdom and knowledge as being espoused by Sheikh Zakzaky in seeking for justice for the victims of this military attack. We have been to court against the government and won all of them. We have been staging peaceful protest to press for the release of our leader though at times we have been attacked by the security agents. We have been involved in explaining to the public the oppression suffered by Sheikh Zakzaky and the Islamic Movement in the hands of this regime. We have also been profusely invoking the wrath of Allah upon our oppressors, and we believe Allah answers the prayers of the oppressed. He the Almighty abhors injustice and tyrants.

It is high time for the public to realize that since the day the Nigerian army fired the first shot against the Islamic Movement five years ago in Zaria, anything the government touches has come to naught. It is as if it has shot itself on the foot the day it shot at the Shiites in Zaria. The ‘security reasons’ behind which the government said is the reason why it is persecuting Sheikh Zakzaky has not lead to the peace it has deceived the public with, rather the nation is more insecure now than it was five years ago. All its economic policies have crumbled, dumping Nigeria into a hard biting recession. Everybody is today feeling the pinch of its financial recklessness.

Therefore now is the time for the government to repent, and stop its persecution of Sheikh Zakzaky and the Islamic Movement in Nigeria. It should as a matter of urgency release him, his wife and all other Muslim brothers and sister in detention unconditionally. Perhaps by so doing Allah will intervene in the many problems bedeviling this country since the coming of this Buhari regime. Allah has commanded us to fear the evil that will befall a nation that has transgressed against it citizens, for Allah does not condone injustice and its perpetrators.
Peace be upon those who follow guidance.

ok

The massacre was one many Nigerians didn’t condemn just like the IPOB massacre. Many even on social media made fun of the killings and supported the barbarism until it took place in Lekki. I even hate it when we now even crack dry jokes of military brutality.

For years, I have hated the Nigerian military. This hatred is born out of first hand witnesses of their animalistic acts meted out on hapless and helpless civilians especially during my stay in the north. They are beasts, bloodthirsty monsters who derive so much pleasure from pulling the trigger. In fact, their fingers are so itchy to pull that trigger but fret at the sight of BH terrorists.

I am a Christian but I was so disgusted to see the wanton, disproportionate use of force against the Shiites in Abuja. With the caliber of weapons they deployed against the Shiites I asked why then do they cry like babies over lack of weapons when they face battle hardened Boko haram whom they are no different from. Boko Haram don’t have air capabilities but the military do together with allies of neighboring countries can’t defeat BH.

In Mail, when they were deployed against Islamist rebels, they couldn’t even carry out offensive operations except to mount road blocks. It was the Chadians, tested desert warriors that took the fight to the rebels. Even powerful France relied on the Chadians to do the dirty job. We all saw what they did to BH when BH bite more than they could chew.

I call most Nigerians fools for sympathizing with the families of killed military personnel when even they should sympathize with the families of victims of military killings. Those are the people that deserve our sympathy and support.

These cowards in uniforms see themselves as demigods failing to realize that they are mortals like that “bloody civilians”. If they don’t die like the animals they are in service they retire to a life of poverty and misery coupled with post traumatic stress disorders from the blood they have spilled whose souls are seeking as seeking for justice. That is why I don’t sympathize with military retirees who are destitutes because they must have caused pains and irreparable loss to many families during their days of active service.

Buhari’s comments on the #EndSARS protests wasn’t disappointing. It was expected as he has never placed premium on the lives of Nigerians. His comment on Aljazeera when asked why the military killed hundreds of Shiites shows that Buhari is a rabid dog, a man with no iota of human feelings. In fact he is the father of the Devil. No wonder, such killings can go on even without any accountability the actions of these demonic military men. The latest Obigbo killings as well as the newly revealed killings in Osogbo shows that life in Nigeria is cheap.

“Service” to fatherland cannot be the murder of the citizens of the fatherland they are meant to protect.
Above all, it is sad that lives which we cannot create is so cheap that it is taken away even without a blink.

Oh God in heaven, May those blood sucking vampires in uniform never escape your divine justice even if they escape justice from man

Im an Igbo man, I have never been to Zaria or even Kaduna. I dont know anything about the Shiites Religion. But as an Igbo man, I hate injustice. What happend in Zaria was a crime against humanity. It was genocide. How can the Nigerian Army go an area in Zaria to kill hundreds of people on the stupid excuse that they blocked the road to the chief of Army Staff? Is the Chief of Army Staff God? How can the blocking of road warrant death?

IMN peacefully protest for the release of their leader, they get shot.

IPOB protest for the release of their leader, they get shot

ENDSARS protesters protest for a better Nigeria, they get shot.

Odi, Zakibiam, Zaria, Obigbo, Lekki toll gate, the few examples of where the Nigerian Army unjustly turned its guns on unarmed innocent people and killed them.

There is God

It is shocking the amount of press coverage given to Lekki toll gate killings compared to less coverage given to the Shiites Zaria massacre

the north don't cry, maybe you should ask why

All the stunts NCDCgov is pulling of recent is just to prepare the ground for MBuhari to announce that He will have to borrow 500 billion naira to purchase pfizer Covid19 vaccines..

A lot of Nigerians are hypocritical in nature, you see many of them care less about zaria massacre, some even justified it but now shouting about lekki

It is called exposure, sanctity and laying high premium on lives.

Funny enough the north themselves didn't utter a word they love buhari he is their best president

At least lekki people cried out

If you cant cry out then how neighbor wan know say you get wahala

We cant cry more than the bereaved as harsh as it sounds

We can only sympathize with them

Buhari has written his name in the book of history with the blood ink of innocent Nigerians
