Missayuba: Don't divert the issue to number of deaths in regions.
Lol. That's bullcrap, load of bullcrap.
Fact is that rice imported from Thailand is cheaper than rice from anywhere in Nigeria. Beef imported from Argentina is cheaper than beef produced in Nigeria. Yam imported from Ghana ia cheaper than yam anywhere in Nigeria. Tomatoes imported from Cameron is cheaper than tomatoes grown in Nigeria.
What am I saying in essence? Whoever holds the cash is king. The food the North brings down south is paid for by the consumers and not free. If the North decides not to bring their agricultural products down south, their farmers will be the ones to suffer, the south with their money can import from any other country the so wish. Like I pointed out above, most agricultural products are cheaper imported from outside Nigeria but are protected by Nigeria government either banning their importation or imposing heavy tariff.
So, the claim that the North feeds Nigeria is hogwash as people pay for their agricultural products but the North receives oil money for free. Try another spin abokai na.
dasensible1: Please talk about what you are sure of, not guess work or hearsay. Witnesses DO NOT encourage nor discourage anyone from voting. I don't see the correlation between the topic and your assumptions about witnesses.
Peace
Witnesses do not vote or partake in electoral processes and when they go on evangelism, they try to make people see why they should not take part in world politics as according to them the devil is the ruler of this present world and controls the political systems.

I do not support the no election campaign but discouraging people ftom voting is not treason. Jehova witnesses do not take part in electoral processes the world over and they discourage people from voting.
sunnyb0b0: So Bridget Agbahime, Aikfavour Ukeoma, Eunice Elisha and Obinna Okpokiri trespassed their religion? Please tell me how they did.
Mention just one name, just one of a stranger killed or molested in the SE.
The problem with you lot is that you sit down in the comfort of your homes and make spurious claims with no evidential data to back it up. Which crimes are you talking of in the South East?
The North is home to the 1st and 4th most deadly terror groups in the world for crying out loud. Even mynd1 knows this to be true
Ephetar: Hi nairalanders please I am currently about taking a decision regarding my future. I am a 26 years old single guy. I currently work in a company where I earn between 400-500k monthly( salary, allowance and personal hustling)... Now the issue is that I am contemplating on travelling to Canada to study pharmacy with the intention of staying there permanently after school or do a professional MBA here in Nigeria with the aim of growing through the ranks in the pharmaceutical industry. Please I need your contributions...
NB; cost of obtaining a pharmacy degree in Canada is about 10M...Should I invest the money in a business?
Bros, the choice is yours to make as people relocate for different reasons. If you were to ask me though, I'd ask you to stay back and build your career. 400k - 500k in Nigeria is not beans and at your age, you have enormous prospect. Foreign degrees no longer enjoy the edge they used to enjoy over Nigerian degrees now, there are thousands with foreign degrees in Nigeria not able to secure a job.
If your intent is career growth, stay in Nigeria and build. When you qualify for study leave, you can take a study leave from your company and go get a foreign degree if you so crave for it and use that time to study the environment if it'd favour you. That way, you can go back to your job if you find out Nigeria is better for you after weighing options but if your intent is to relocate to a more stable country where you can give your family a more decent life and secured future irrespective of the opportunity cost to you, you can relocate. I've seen senior bankers resign and relocate their families to UK, doing menial jobs just because they want their children to have a better future.
Rich4god: Guy, be truthful... If you mind your business in the north and not trespass on their religion, you are more safe in the north than the East, removing Boko Haram. There are a huge number of foreigners in the Kano state alone doing normal business of buying and selling than there are in the entire south east combined. Crimes in the East are on the high side when compared to the north, this is a fact that everyone knows.

SporaD8: You are being juvenile. The verse you quote is a quotation(Jesus narrated a story). Now to the op, those particular verse was given to the prophet during the time of war - same as it happened in old testament in Joshua and Judges time. The problem is when terrorist quote it in modern time to suit their evil plot. The verse was only meant for people of that time.
Missayuba: Need I remind you of how people get killed and dumped in refuse bins in the SE Or how people get kidnapped and eventually killed or how people get robbed and put in helpless conditions in the SE within a journey of less than 30mins? The insugence in the north is not created by northerners. DO YOUR ASSIGNMENTS WELL.

Missayuba: You speak with quite a level of intelligence but you stated and I quote "A place where you cannot practice your religion without let or hindrance. When I was in Yobe state, the place they allocated to RCCG that I buses to attend in Gadaka was located in the bush far from human inhabitation. place where you cannot practice your religion without let or hindrance. When I was in Yobe state, the place they allocated to RCCG that I buses to attend in Gadaka was located in the bush far from human inhabitation". For you to have picked only one part of the north to generalize for the other northern states make me see reasons to why you speak as you do. Secondly, have you observed how many times in the east northerners are refused accommodation in the east because they are "ndi Hausa". Have you ever boarded a bus from the east coming down to the north and see how "ndi Igbo" treat the "ndi Hausa"? I'm sure you are in support of that too. The moment they notice you do not speak polished or refined English or that Hausa accent they begin to treat one as though one suffers from leprocy". As much as you have stayed in the north, I'm glad you observed that it is not only igbos that are killed in the part of the north where you stayed. Also, it is worthy of note that the several attacks in the north is not only in the north. I know deep within you you know the north is a place to be and as much as you try to deny it, the "ndi igbos" need the north to survive. I SPEAK FROM THE NOT SO SENTIMENTAL PART OF MY HEART. Don't be fooled by the interest of politics in the wealth of SS to think that SE has anything to offer "IPOB". Initially the same "Biafrans claimed the SS was not part of the Biafran Republic, suddenly, they begin to mention the SS as part of them. Look at the celebration of Biafra day last year from the Niger bridge down to anambra was where the celebration was taking place, people living not very far from there I'm Asaba, Delta state capital did not know what was going on except for the heavy hold up. Be honest with yourselves the IPOB as well as the division of Nigeria is only a desire of the few who have seen room for their benefit and wish to take advantage of it.
I STILL STAND MY GROUND THAT THE SE HAS NOTHING ON THE NORTH WHEN IT COMES TO BEING ACCOMODATING.
Let me make it simple; between the North and the South East, where is the probability of a stranger being killed higher? Your answer should put the question to rest.
The Igbos do not need the North to survive rather the North needs the Igbos to survive.
Can any good and woke Muslim please explain these verses from the Quran to me.

Quran (9:5) "But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practice regular charity, then open the way for them.
Quran (8:38-39) - “Say to those who have disbelieved, if they cease (from disbelief) their past will be forgiven... And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism: i.e. worshipping others besides Allah) and the religion (worship) will all be for Allah Alone [in the whole of the world ]. But if they cease (worshipping others besides Allah), then certainly, Allah is All-Seer of what they do.”
Quran (9:29) - "Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued."
mfm04622: Okay! Quote where it is in Qu'ran or Hadith where Muslims were asked to dominate the world. Simple

BetaThings: Christianity? No violence? Are you serious BTW how are they using violence to islamize - please tell me one place that has been converted in Nigeria through violence?
We live in the realities of the 21st centuries and you dig up dirt pfrom the 16th century? Why not go back to being naked like your ancestors at the time.
You asked me where they are using violence to Islam use, what is ISIS' mission statement? Even under your nose, what is Boko Haram's mission?
Here's from your Koran which I'm not sure you read;

mfm04622: 1. Am sure am older than you. You shouldn't call someone you don't know "son"! 2. Am a Muslim. If there is any Islamic world domination conspiracy, they must have forgotten to tell me!!! 3. What do those people who wrote what is in then link know about ISIS? They just want to create areas they can rule and loot. Nothing more. 4. I challenge you to read about Islam. When Islam what at the height of power, ruling Spain in Europe, Islamic rulers practice freedom of religion. Christians and Jews were ruled in Spain without forcing anybody to convert. 5. I challenge you to read about Islam. As you have deviants people that preaches and practices Christianity wrongly, so we have same in Islam. Read what Islam is. Simple
I had a copy of d Koran as far back as 1989. I have read hadiths and I have studied Islam.
mfm04622: What is the significance of dipping the Qu'ran into the sea? What will happen IF it is done? Who plotted this? Where? Are the "plotters" still alive? If they are not alive, did they hand over their wish to other?
I will really appreciate if you can answer these questions
Do you know anything about Islam, the Koran and global domination intent? Read son, read. Study contemporary history. Read the Koran and the hadiths.
