J3susFr3ak: The same so called Minority that have been emboldened by the very flawed and lop-sided Security Structure of the country as it is? The Muslims have always been emboldened by the presence of a Muslim GOC. This is like their own Governor. Such Muslim GOCs as has happened in the past can execute evil clandestine operations to wipe out Christian villagers....and the elected Governor has always been hanpered by his inability to give orders to the Military or even the police. So you can now understand that even a minority with a stranglehold on the all the legal Security Structures becomes a dagenrous and annoying menace. Yes...I mentioned how the people you refer to as minority hide behind the Military and connive with sympathetic minds in other core-northern states and the FG to unleash their twisted guerrilla warefare tactics in the state. The Christians were never the aggressors in each wave of attacks.
When the State Government created an agency similar to Amotekun to help gaher intelligence and alert authorities of impending attacks...the same Muslims are still whining and maligning the good intentions of that defensive security effort.
It is just like a gullible and STUPID South Africa dragging Israel to the International Court of Justice and accusing them of nonsense and having no rights to defend themselves. The so called minority Jihadists do not want the indigenous Christians to have any means to defend themselves and neither have any means of intelligence gathering by any local or federal security mechanism.
If the option is to go the extra-legal means to set up lethal Militias like what has happened in the East...the repercussions can also be grave. But if you recall how back in 2004 the united indigenous response to these barbaric Muslim terrorist acts in Yelwa Shendam led to the wiping away of every single Muslim in that town....you now understand the angry backlash from the FG and the State of Emergency that occured back then. Perhaps, this has been the game plan all along too....to make the State a bit too ungovernable, provoke a militia response and then use Federal might to slam a State of Emergency where the Muslims want to have their way.
Wisdom and tact is needed to deal with this issue.
GOCs are now superior to Governors/COAS now? (During Jonathan's era up to now?)
If I as a governor who has full control over my state cannot guarantee safety for my people, I'd resign respectfully.
J3susFr3ak: You got your facts wrong pal! How can it be a communal clash when the indigenous native Christians are minding their own business in peace while the constant attackers. aggressors and killers are the invading Muslims aided by the so called Military?
You can be too politically correct to the point of abosolute FOOLISH STUPOR!
This is senseless Islamic Jihad by the Muslims on Christians. Get your facts straight!
Minority targeting majority and the Govt can't do a dime? What a fear?
Be bold and fish out the perpetrators. Kill them mercilessly. I swear to God, I mean it from the bottom of my heart.

Still some people defame Islam.
*Islam is the Religion of Peace*
Yourself knows the truth but just trying to play smartness.
Hamas, a host is fighting for his freedom is tagged a islamist-terrorist!
Taliban, fighting against invasion and theft, is tagged a islamist-terrorist!
BH, ISIS, Al-shabab etc, all are as a result of either political or regional crises or even selfishnesss, but the end result is Islamist terrorists always!
So we blindly have to agree with you !
How on earth will 'muslim' target Muslims? Target Civilians? Target market places? Target non-combatants? Kills children? Kills women? Kill the olds? Target worship centers? Irrespective of those victims faith?
Any fighting that has any of the above feature is out of fold of Islam.
A fighting that can be regarded as Islamic must have both parties agreed, and each side meeting in a battle ground, all with conditions of not targeting the categories of people mentioned above.Point out a single fighter that fit into this?
Documented History of our Prophet and his scripture are out there.
Islam is islam. A community that's a global Family.
You grouping Muslims as Hamas, Boko Haram, ISIS, Al-shabab and their likes is a waste of time. Just say 'Muslims', there by no need of wasting time and effort in grouping, so that I and the rest of the Muslims feel we belong in!
Proffdada: You can clearly hear them chanting in Islam yet you are trying to play Taqyya. Muslims are as cunning as they allah (Baal) they serve
Alright.
In Saudia, Iran, Malaysia and other Muslim countries, we do see Muhammad, Abdullah, Ahmad, Umar and their like have been executed. Don't those who have been executed chant the phrase "Allahu Akbar"?
Just chanting never meant you're holy or being backed to carry out atrocities man
Islam spreads despite all the odds. That's all I can say . We don't have nukes to threat people to accept Islam
Dennisochampa: God forgive me but I will disown any child that brings a Muslim man or woman to my house for marriage.. I dislike their ways. How can someone be so heartless?? And if you retaliate, they start to claim victims... Very uneducated and barbaric things. May Woe betide them all.. Dirty things. The government need to start takin decisive actions against these dirty things before it degenerates into something else.... May God heal Nigeria.... It's rotten and it's mostly because of Islamic extremists and na them also make this world be like this..... Violence everywhere.....
You says your wishes; Fulanis carried out these atrocities but Islam carries the full blame (💯 ). Why please?
BTW I and every other sane human beings wouldn't never, even for a second, be happy for something like this to happen to another human being.
For violence, with or without Islam, human race can never be separated with violence. Humans always find reasons to fight, an ugly dirty fights/wars. History helps us with that. Islam violences are stereotyped: communal violence, separatists, political crises, etcs so far Muslims were involved, it's tagged "Islam holy war" or jihad
Because: By it's nature, it's meant to destroy things (Kinetic property of matters).
Simply put; when fire is supplied to an object/substance, heat is generated causing change in state of the matter physically or chemically or both, hence the cause of destruction.
Water is life and life is water. Water is meant to produce and not to destroy. It destroys only when it's out of control.
Uyi168: ... Some worship a dead jew. Some,a dead Arabian caravan raider..
This one decided to follow his own way.
To each,its own.
'A dead Arabian Caravan Raider' who happens to be ✓ The 100: the most influential Person in history ✓ the most Mentioned Name worldwide ✓ Called by Trustworthy by his enemies ✓ Forgiver of his enemies when had the chance retaliate (conquer of Mecca).
eldoradoxx: Hijab advocates will attack holiness,. morality, decency and righteousness to wearing of hijab. Those who dont are termed unbelievers and immoral. But i have come to understand that the more righteous and holy a person appears, the more evil he or she can harbour.
Nairaland's server was taken down by our host's abuse team because of an abuse report that wasn't attended to on time.
After rectifying the error, we brought the server back for a few minutes, but they decided to take the server down again. Since then, we haven't heard from the abuse team, yet the support team keeps insisting that only the abuse team can help us.
So we had to transfer Nairaland to a temporary host in order to bring it back to you. A VERY time-consuming process. We are not fully back, even though most features of the site are working. We still have a long way to go. Additional downtime is likely; don't let it alarm you.
There's a lot more to say, but I have to go back to work to ensure that our return is permanent. Please forgive us for the stress we caused. We appreciate the love and support that you showed us during the ordeal. Nairaland is too important for us to let this happen again.
MrPOTUS: Not a fan of Islam or Mohammed, but I like you.
You're smart 👏
I appreciate your kind words.👍 Please: on your own (not what people says/write), ask/study what Islam is all about. I have seen those with sincere and curious/open mind, ended up being Muslims.
[b]Although for Muhammad and Aisha's marriage: [/b]puberty stage/age isn't fixed for all human. Of course no a sane man would love to give or accept girl in marriage who hasn't reached puberty.
You mean Why the double standard on the definition of terrorism by the western Media? Just because we are Muslim or we aren't their brother keepers in evils.
Same thing here, ipob (a radical group which results from political crises) were tagged terrorist, so were/are Taliban, Hamas, BH etc.
Any attack by Muslim is act of terrorism. (Almost those Muslims who involved themselves were either victims of America/West Invading their lands with false alarm of WMDs or other political crises)
Any attack by Non Muslim is mental disorder. And we move on like that!
BTW: in Islam, unjust killing is forever prohibited clearly. We have seen it our prophet lives and dine with the non-Muslims of his time. History is clear to that.
If by terrorism you mean: we kills who blasphemed in our religion: we then say forever we're terrorist. You can do that in your religion. It's always christian thing to always give the other cheek but not Islam!
You can dine and wine and even play with who insulted your parents (your choice) you then tag it "freedom of speech/expression"
What ponders me is, why is it that terrorism is always associated with Islam and
Why did prophet Mohammed married and slept with a 9 years old girl (Aisha)?
Is that all you really cared?
Alright, before people like you, there were staunchest non-Muslims then who never asked just question. Why ? Because they knew isn't against the norm. Again, today, after a 1400+ years (when life expectancy even deteriorated) , medically, it's fit for a 9 year old girl to give birth!
