LordAdam:
Your arrogance is your undoing. You claim to know better than Seun and can't do simple research, follow laid-out links, or think before you type.

It's past bedtime for you. Good night!

You are breaking Nairaland rule 12 by inserting a signature into your posts.

My bedtime?

LordAdam:
You are dumb, but not in a way you think. The blog of an organization that is at least 50 years older than Vanguard (Vanguard, 1983; CFR, 1921).

Enlighten yourself here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_on_Foreign_Relations

And this http://www.cfr.org/about/

Note my username: don't try so hard to make a fool of yourself next time.

I got better things to do than follow links pasted by a self professed nairaland sage.

Now, shut your trap!

And you expect me to what? take a blog as some sorta reliable evidence? am not that dumb. Do you even know what a thousand lives means? Any group in a similar position will try to gain sympathy for its cause. Anyway, you can believe whatever you want but don't come around throwing figures like its an established fact.

LordAdam:
So a few misguided miscreants did not let the COAS pass. After killing a few tens at the procession ON THE ROAD. They also went to the heart of the Shia Muslim community in Zaria to kill "at least one thousand people" and burn their houses.

It's like if some people were protesting about Biafra and denied the COAS passage in Onitsha. And then he kills some at the point where he was denied passage. After which he sent the military to the heart of Onitsha to kill several hundreds of people who probably were not part of the protest but were simply Igbos.

When a group of people are killed simply because of their religious affiliation for the decision made by misguided elements in the same religious group, it is a crime against humanity and there is no justification.

Why not the military start killing thousands of Sunni Muslims because their religious members, Boko Haram, have killed tens of thousands of Nigerians including soldiers?

I regret being a citizen of a country where human lives are worth NOTHING. Where there are flagrant disregard of human rights, and the populace keep mute in a supposedly democratic state.

Karma is a darling. When you stay silent or try to justify someone's predicament, people will equally stay silent or try to justify your predicament.

-Lord

Bros stop the lies, where did you get your statistics from? how can you say that a thousand people were killed. Hope you know what that figure means. And Seun is there sharing such misinformation against the army. SMH

slightlyMad:
what is so special about this? because it is an aircraft?

People like you are the reason why Nigeria is this backward and mediocre. *spits on comment*

madridguy:
That man lack self discipline.

Not surprised its coming from you.

Another crazy one.

I could give 69 fvcks about a bunch of Muslim girls...BUT I WONT

Aren't you supposed to be human and humane first? and some e-diots actually liked your comment.

Atmmachine:
Huawei got me addicted.
I can afford 10 IPhone 6s in just a day but IPhone is just a piece of shiit.

So that is why you want the naira to depreciate to 400 to a dollar?

unmask:
See them blaming buhari already......you want to spend your hard earned naira? Go ahead and spend it..... Dont complain about hard earned dollars by the cbn? Were expecting a rosy ride.....16 years of rot isn't washed out in 6 months ........sit and enjoy the ride.

Yet another bloody excuse.

Onyocha:
So when some members of an organization clash with the army on the road, you justify for their worship center and homes to be attacked and demolished in other locations? This sounds like Boko action.

Onyara!!!

Like I said, the Nigerian army is known to be brutal.

Onyocha:
[b]honestly speaking, what happened on the road is very much irrelevant. Both sides are wrong there.

What is relevant to me is that the army used the earlier road incident as excuse/cover up/pretext to launch two assaults at the worship center and at the cleric's home. During the siege and raid many were killed and the structures got demolished. These are crimes against humanity committed and human rights violations. No one really care that the army reacted -by taking law into their hands -to road block and many understand that the blocking of road and confronting soldiers who don't value lives is wrong. The problem is the siege on the house and the hussainiyyah.

Many are distracted by what happened on the road. The army is using the road incident to cover up their assault on and demolition of the house and hussainiyyah. Many lives were wasted.That is wrong and unjustifiable even under military rule.

The siege and assault on the home and worship center came after the road incident had ended. Why?

The COAS should please not resign. He should either remain and continue to tarnish the image of the APC government and the image of the country, or let him be sacked immediately and punished for his crimes. This is a democracy and no one should be a victim of religious persecution. Citizens should be free to choose what beliefs they want to follow.[/b]

The Shiites should not have blocked the road, freedom of religion should not be used as an excuse to constitute a nuisance to the public and disrespect public officials especially not the Nigerian army that is known for being brutal. I've seen where such religious groups take over the road without police permission, and no one is able to do anything about it. They'll think twice before being stubborn next time.

Yea crazy.

AdaNri1:
Attention seeker. I don't know why people find it so easy to propagate hatred.

He even managed to find a way to blame the Jews who are Iran's archenemy. Hatred is a poison!
If that Army chief had carried himself like tho ordinary Nigerian he was all this killings would be avoided. These days anybody with a little power wants to be treated as a King and bowed to.

Well, the chief of army staff by virtue of his office is no ordinary Nigerian, you don't expect him to come and walk when he is supposed to riding through free flowing traffic. No group should hold the citizens hostage, much less those in position of authority

sukkot:
buahahah Samsard, really, all i was doing was creating a gumbo of mythology, astronomy and the bible to create a geomagnetic storm induced colorful aurora. a vivid picture of what was, what is, and what is to be

Now am even more confused

Teempakguy take Sukkot seriously at your own peril. Enlightened as he claims to be, he is saying things that a five year old would have outgrown by now.

holamiday:
Why can't Dangote or any of the billionaires buy out these clubs, develop them and pay the players like Chelsea guys? Why's everone shying away from developing Nigerian Sports?

Do you honestly speaking go to watch Nigerian league matches? or even buy any of their merchandise? The difference in quality is clear as daylight and no business man will invest in something that wouldn't yield returns.

Wew! All are definitely not equal before the law. Which civil servant is going to come out with 200 million without fear?

abdulwastecx:
Most northerners don't know how to read Arabic.
Almajiri system is a system used by lazy parent to justify not taking good care of their children. I was born, reside and had all me education in the north, including University education

I don't know the statistics but the Qur'an is written in Arabic and Muslims with "ilimin' Qur'ani" are able to read it. In short kids where I live learn the Arabic alphabets, numbering system and are able to read and write in Arabic. I don't know even know why am still arguing this with you. [some] Muslims value Qur'anic education more than western education, and so their children learn the Qur'an (which is in Arabic) either exclusively (in the case of almajirai) or alongside normal schools. Most if not all the Muslims I know are able to read it, although the scholars are naturally better at it, in fact as kid I could have learned it if we hadn't moved.
Anyway, which part of the north did you live?

abdulwastecx:
That is never a justification for inscription of Arabic on Nigeria military code.

Arabic is not native to any culture be it North or south, it came in from some nomadic traders iIo the north and through Shangai empire into South west.

Majority of the so called northern hausas can neither Reed or write Arabic so why the need for it in our military codes?

Nigeria is just a polarize count ruled by a lot of fools in the past with no patriotism for their fatherland and most of us don't really above the dogma of religion

Well, northern kids actually learn Arabic as part of their Qur'anic classes. So a lot of northern Muslims know how to read Arabic, in short, they value it more than western education thats why you'll most of them attend almajiri schools and not western styled schools.

AdeniyiA:
How does northerners relates to army logo?
infact what you wrote does not address my questions a bit.
The issue is, some sections of the country believe Nigeria is their papa property so they can manipulate it the way they deem fit. We all do not speak Arabic...

Neither do we all speak English. I know people who can't read English scripts but can easily read anything scripted in Arabic or any indigenous language they understand. No one is claiming that Nigeria is their father's property, you are the one who probably feels unnecessarily insecure and outplayed in the scheme of things. Anyway, let's not derail the thread.

bishop4life:
Spare us such explanation, Nigeria's official language is"ENGLISH". the inscriptions tells a lot about Nigeria and it's amalgamation pattern.

You can't bury indigenous language & culture in the graveyard of English language. Most countries speak more than one language and they also accommodate them. Case in point, South Africa.

DickDastardly:
I am a wahabi christian

What does that even mean?

AdeniyiA:
Thank God they failed.
Btw, is that Arabic on the logo of our Nigerian army??
can someone explain the reason for such nonsense, is Nigeria an Arabic speaking nation??
Even our naira notes have this crap

Before English language came to Nigeria, northerners were reading and writing with/in Arabic. The one on the naira note is Hausa ajami, a form of Hausa but written with Arabic. There's nothing wrong in writing in Arabic, at the end of the day its just another language. + It has a stronger historical root in Nigeria than English.

DickDastardly:
How can they say Shites? Are they saying all shites endorsed the attack? Just like saying "Catholics attempts to......". Let them be specific pls or are they trying to blacklist all shites to pave way for something we dont know.

What is it with your fascination for Shiites?

DullardBuhari:
I hate zoo, the baboons frightens me

Better go get yourself checked by a psychiatrist. It will not be long before the latent madness and hatred in you manifests in full force and drives you mad.

May God continuing to bless your home Naeto C. I hope the fo..ols jumping around with baby mama/ baby papa will know such its against our culture as African.

You guys only cite African culture when its convenient or suits your needs.

sirTesco:
Why did the sleeping senator not visit them before his election was nullified?

Is there no other politician from his senatorial district who can represent their interest in the NASS.

Shey na only mark go school for their place.
Who go lose go still lose. Imagine after GEJ/PDP don share umbrella, rice, garri and groundnut, knife, gun,drugs and all the calumny campaign against GMB which as a result one media mogul dey suffer for EFCC hand dem nor stil lose.

The day the monkey is destined to die, all the tree becomes slippery.

Mark should go for new blood to come in.
If only his people will have sense.

Lets pray for the IDOMA people.

The pope wants to lead the prayer.

You people are unbelievable, what makes you think you can make a choice for Idoma people? if they want him to spend 30 years there, what business of yours is it? Why taking panadol on top another man's headache, when some US senators have spent more than a quarter century in Congress? Why don't you guys make the same amount of noise when it comes to Barnabas Gemade and George Akume who are also of Benue state.

HungerBAD:
Really?

I got it from a reliable source, that RENT-A-CROWD is now big business in Benue,Ekiti and Rivers State. After the Politician would have passed through, you would now see the mostly Students getting back into the buses that brought them, taking them back to School.

David Mark is many things in Benue State, but being loved by his people is not among those things.

Are you saying that those who have been voting for him hate him? Or are you including the Tivs who are not his constituents? If you don't know, David Mark is the biggest Idoma politician coz he has been a two term Senate President. That there are people who don't like him does not mean that there aren't people who still support him.

gbrown:
i really pity this idoma people, the only dividend of democracy they,ve benefited from mark is the annual basketball xmas show and invitation of tuface to sing, if idomas are content with this, it means they still have a long way to go, the only radio station in otuokpo is owned by David marks daughter (joy fm) i can't count the number of times the daughters husband has been elected local govt chairman, the road from otuokpo to Makurdi is a mess, otuokpo general hospital is an eyesore, there are no infrastructural development in otuokpo, this election re-run will determine if these idoma people are wise or foolish.

And why aren't you blaming the governor whose primary responsibility it is to build road, renovate and equip hospitals? Last time I checked, neither Barnabas Gemade nor George Akume (both of APC) have done those things in their respective constituencies.
