The lesson is that, we should not loose what we have before knowing their value.

FOR THE HATE OF ISLAM...Everything is Christianity

When we speak of evil done against Muslims some Christians rush to defend the evil doer in that calous spirit of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". It is as if these brand of Christians are ready to accept anything into the fold of Christianity provided Muslims don't like it

It is for this reason that majority of Christians are friends and allies with Israel always supporting them whereas these Jews believe Jesus (SAW) is a bastard and Mary was a prostitute. God forgive me for even mentioning this sickness. Surprisingly the Muslims the Christians love to hate believe Jesus (SAW) was one of the mightest messenger of God and his mother is one of the four best women God ever created. Matter of fact from the four she is the very best. The ninetenth chapter of the Qur'an is named after her, no chapter is named after the mother of Muhammad (SAW) Aminah and no chapter is named after any of the wives of Muhammad (SAW) but there is a chapter of the Qur'an named after Mary the mother of Jesus (SAW)

The same Mary the Jews call a prostitute the Qur'an says Allah has "exalted you (Mary) above the women of mankind and Jinns", in order words there is no woman who has or can ever reach her status...yet the Christians are allies to the Jews and enemies to the Muslims so much so that they support 66 years of Jewish enslavement of Muslims, they support the 22 days attack on Muslims by the Jews which involved use of white phoporous a gas that is so wicked the UN ban it, a gas that irritates the nervous system and blind our children; they support those who say their mother is a prostitute against those who say she is the best woman ever created: indeed for the hate of Islam, an enemy of christianity is a christian worthy of christian support

Another hater of Christianity who is a star among Christians is Barrack Insane Obama. A fellow who at the Covenant for a New America conference in Washington, D.C., in June 28, 2006, had this to say about the Bible:

"the problem is when you try to look for guidance from the Bible. Where will you turn? The old or the new testament? Should we go with Leventicus which suggest slavery is ok? Or we can go with Deutronomy which suggest stoning your child if he strays from the faith? Or should we just stick to the sermon on the mountain: a passage that is so radical that it is doubtful that our own defence department will survive it's application. Folks haven't been reading the Bible" (he ends in a mocking tone)

Even if Obama did not stop at insulting the Bible, if he had insulted Jesus Christians will still adore him and defend him and curse you out when you complain about him because the enemies of the Muslims are the friends of these brand of Christians even when that enemy is also an enemy of the Bible

The same Obama is pro abortion, not just pro abortion, arrogantly so. So arrogant he sent 3 pro abortion ambassador to the Pope just to piss the man off and he is still the friend of these set of Christians just because he kills Muslims. Alow me to reproduce at this stage a comment on the Vanguard website when 150 Muslims were killed in Jos for the benefit of those who will think i am taking it too far when i speak like this:

"I must say it again, Islam is fake and Christ is King. I am happy that the Plateau state Government is fully conscious and ready to make a final onslaught on mozlems. Jos and indeed the whole of Plateau should be rid off mozlems. They must be finally exterminated because they are vermin. Governor Jang is our hero and like our new King Richard the lion hearted (who destroyed Muslim in the crusade against mozlems in te the holy land of Jerusalem) second only to Slobodan Mlosovic who helped rid Europe of mozlems. Every Mozlem is a terrorist just like Umar Mutallab and Ahmed (please don’t call him Seyi Olayiwola because I think he is a Hausa-Fulani disguising as Yoruba and tried to blow up Pastor Chris Oyekhilome). See how the mozlems kill each other in Boko haram and the recent Qala kato debacle in Bauchi and imagine what they can do to followers of other faith. I praise our lord warriors in the police and army for doing a brave Job, a true modern day crusade. To kill mozlems that protest anything is to receive abundant Christ glory as well as salvation because mozlems are children of the devil and have no rights. I don’t see those people killed at Kuru Karama as Human being. Great job these warriors that killed even the mozlems babies and dumb them in pit latrine, well and sewage (septic tank). A friend told me how he clubbed about 3 children to death at Kuru. His account of how they convulsed, piss and shit, bit and chewed their tongue before dead was one of the most gratifying information. Unless you want to be a hypocrite you know these children would grow to be mozlems. You must be an anti-christ to feel that what was done to them is wrong. Sweet it is the sound of their agony. Mozlems are the most illiterate, the poorest and certainly the most politically incapable people we have the misfortune of living along with in the contraption called Nigeria. Jang is the light and way into the future of Christianity in Nigeria and we must give him all the support both political, monetary as well as more military hardware. The U.S Government is surely going to support us" - Gyang Joseph

These and many more comments like this we have seen and this is not to infuriate or incite people but to draw your attention to the fact that we are not just talking. I placed this comment on my note since it was made and when i was asked for the link i promptly provided it to the amazement of other responsible Christians and every single Muslim. A visit to facebook pages dedicated to attack Islam will also shock you; we see pictures of our Prophet Muhammad (SAW) depicted as a pig among other things. God forbid that i see the day when a Muslim will make a picture mocking Jesus (SAW)

Finally, i appeal to Christians to stop this attitude of the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Don't approve homosexuality just because Muslims hate it, don't support Obama's mass murder of women and children just because he is fighting Muslims, don't support the Jewish invasion of Palestine and 66 years of slavery, murder, rape and the selling of body organs of palestinians just because palestinians are Muslims even when the jews call the person you claim to follow a bastard, let your alliance and opinions be based on justice and fairness and i advice my Muslim brothers same because the Qur'an says even about those you hate:

"O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm for Allah , witnesses in justice, and do not let the hatred of a people prevent you from being just. Be just; that is nearer to righteousness. And fear Allah ; indeed, Allah is Acquainted with what you do" - Qur'an 5:8

We hope for a new start in our relations where justice will come first. Peace be upon those who follow the guidance

Please kill them all before they will infect the South West with there insatiable love for money and women. Animals!

Uwamumuke!

The same GEJ who has not achieve? No wonder. Rubbish.

He is highly wellcome, Mar' aba bikum

So will this not be in the Front page? Its is having the right qualification such as the liknks?

So when will the government agents stop telling us lies? They kept saying its for the Hisb and Hasb. Nonesence

What a beautiful masterpiece!
This Faruq is wonderful.

gramci: Is there any facet of any economy in the world that is FULLY operational?

Are you categorically saying that we have not recorded any significant improvement in electricity and road maintenance?

Are you saying that the achievement so far in railway is not worth acknowledging?

What is your problem?

If you can not see anything wrong with all I listed, then you need to need to be examined! Simple.

gramci: You think? What criteria did you use to arrive at 15%. Any foool can manufacture figures

On the assumption that no single facet of the economy can be said to be fully operational.
What affect us most are electricity and road and he had not made any improvement.
The noise from his team is also about the train and from the physical assessment, nothing special has happen and I knew there are mumu everywhere who will still claim he has turned Nigeria to Paradise.

I think its about 15% in the overall performance.
Let them atleast show us sample of finished project like Lekki-Ikoyi link bridge in Lagos and stop telling stories.

PRESS RELEASE: HIJAB: FASHOLA SEEKS OUT OF COURT SETTLEMENT
The Lagos State Government is seeking an out of court settlement in the suit filed against it by the Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria (MSSN) Lagos State Area Unit over the victimization of Muslim girls wearing Hijab in state public schools.
When the case came up for first hearing before Justice J.O.K Oyewole of the Lagos High Court Ikeja today, counsel to the state government, S.A Ajanaku, said no defense had been filed in the case, but added that steps had already been initiated towards settlement of the matter.
He pleaded with the judge to allow the government more time to consummate the steps already initiated.
However, counsel to the MSSN Lagos State Area Unit Barrister Hassan .A. Fajimite, who led other nine lawyers to the court, expressed surprise at the request of the state counsel, saying that they were not aware or informed of any move by the state government to settle the case. He nevertheless obliged to the option.
Justice Oyewole thereafter asked the parties to meet and work out terms of the settlement and report back to the court on July 10, 2013.
Meanwhile, members of the MSSN and other Islamic organizations, who thronged the court premises for the case, later embarked on a peaceful protest to Ikeja under-bridge and back to the old secretariat mosque beside the high court.
They carried placards with inscriptions like ‘Hijab is our right,’ ‘Why must Lagos State Government compete with God?’ ‘Hijab our pride,’ ‘Nudity is not our way,’
and others.
Addressing the people, the Amir Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria (MSSN) Lagos State Area Unit, Alhaji Qasim Badrudeen, urged all Muslims in the state to remain calm and peaceful throughout the period the hearing of the case would last.
He also thanked all Islamic organizations that came to solidarise with the MSSN on the Hijab issue promising that the society would not relent until victory is achieved.
It would be recalled that the MSSN Lagos State Area Unit had taken the state government to court over persistent victimization of Muslim girls using Hijab by some secondary school principals in the state.
One of them Aisha Alabi of Kadara Junior Grammar School, Ebute Metta was given 43 strokes of the cane by her principal, Mrs. E.C Ukpaka for wearing Hijab in the school premises.
Bareera Tajudeen of Mafoluku Senior Grammar School, Oshodi was also harassed by her principal, Mrs. Elizabeth Omidele who removed her Hijab and stepped on it outside the school premises.

THE BASIS OF PEACEFUL COEXISTENCE: The Network of Islamic Organizations is interested in promoting peace in Lagos State and in the whole country. Muslims in Lagos State are always ready to coexist peacefully with people of other faiths. So far so good, there has been no religious crisis in Lagos and the South-West of the country. But this is mainly because the Muslims in Lagos and in the region have been very tolerant. The truth of the matter is that Muslims have not been given their equal share in rights, priviledges and positions in the South-West. Islamic landmarks have been under threat in the South-West since the colonial days while Christian heritage have been assumed as ‘conventional’ and therefore imposed on Muslims in the region. A good example is the school uniform.

The British colonial masters were the designers of the school uniforms used to date. They never consulted the Muslims regarding the type of uniform most acceptable to Muslims even though Islam was already in Nigeria in 1085 and in Lagos long before the year 1775. There were more than fifty madrasas (Islamic schools) in Lagos by 1775. The presence of so many Islamic schools in Lagos at that time is enough proof that Islam had been in Lagos at least fifty years earlier, around 1725. In comparison, Christianity was first preached by the British Henry Townsend under the Agacia tree in Badagry in 1842.

This means Islam was already in Lagos more than a hundred years before the advent of Christianity. Additional evidence of the great antiquity of Islam in Yorubaland is the existence of Shari’ah courts in Ede in 1913 during the reign of Oba Abibu Olagunju, in Iwo under Oba Muhammad (Momodu) Lamuye who died in 1906 and in Ikirun in 1910 under Oba Aliyu Oyewole. Our people say when a child rejects pounded yam in the evening, the parents will reveal his history to him. There is no gainsaying the fact that people who practice Shari’ah must have imbibed the culture of Islam for more than a hundred years before introducing it. Whereas Islam entered Lagos peacefully, history testifies to the fact that the British entered Lagos by force and Lagos was bombarded in 1851 to compel Lagosians to accept British culture and religion.

This British culture is today symptomised by the school uniform used by pupils in Lagos public schools. Christians are satisfied with the current uniform because it is the product of British Christian culture. It is natural that Muslims find it unacceptable. We see it first and foremost as immoral and indecent as it exposes our young ones, particularly the females, to immorality. It is amusing that those campaigning against the spread of HIV and AIDS fail to see the connection between HIV and AIDS, early pregnancy and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).

The Muslims who are canvassing the use of hijab by female Muslim pupils are not asking non-Muslims to use it. If this is a true democracy, there should be freedom in this regard. Government is free to ask the Christians if they want another uniform or not. The Christians are free to reject the present uniform if they don’t like it. They are free to ask for something else they prefer. But their present silence means acquiescence. In the same manner, the Muslims are free to accept the current uniform or to reject it and that is what they have been doing and government has failed to listen. We assert firmly that Christians or any other group have no moral or legal right to oppose Muslims’ demand for hijab. On what basis is such opposition? How does the sight of hijab affect a Christian or any other non-Muslim for that matter since they are not expected to use it?

Our observation is that Nigerian Christians have always acted as opposition party or rivals of Muslims even when the issue at stake does not concern them. They are always out to make mountains out of molehills. They always oppose any demand made by Muslims. Examples abound in this regard: OIC, Islamic banking, etc. Our understanding of this is that our neighbours preach love but want no progress for others. They see themselves as rivals. Any achievement by Muslims is seen as a minus by Christians.

This is why the Lagos State Government, other governments in the South-West and even the Federal Government must be careful about demands made by Muslims. Governments must weigh demands along the line of parity. Government must be able to determine whether or not the Christians already have what the Muslims are asking for. Another useful criteria government must use in determining the rationale for demands made by religious groups is whether or not the scripture of that group commands what the group is demanding.

Is it not interesting that the Christians since independence have never demanded any particular thing? We want sociologists to look critically at this question. Why is it that it is Muslims alone who are always making demands? Why don’t the Christians ask for something? The answer is very simple. Though Islam had been in Nigeria for 800 years before Christianity, British colonization of Nigeria sought to completely uproot Islamic culture. The British succeeded in creating a scenario whereby the whole system was Christianised. This is why Christians are satisfied with the status quo. The normal thing was for Nigerian leaders to ensure that Islamic landmarks disrupted by the British were restored after independence in 1960 while those of the Christians are retained for the two cultures to run parri pasu. But this never happened because Nigerian powerful Christian elites, though a clear minority, mounted a campaign of calumny and deceit each time Muslims seek to balance the equilibrium, thus blocking the road to justice.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TERRORISM AND JUSTICE: Terrorism and violence thrive where there is no social justice. Justice is the soul of peace. Those who deny one always end up losing the other. We reaffirm that violence or terrorism is mere smoke. The cassu belli is a fire kindled by injustice. A good fire-fighter will not direct the hose at the smoke. He knows he should face the fire.

We therefore call the attention of senior citizens in Lagos, men of goodwill, the Nigerian security agencies, human rights organizations and the international community to what is happening in Lagos State. Muslims are peace-loving people. They go their own way until authorities push them to the wall. The Allah-given and fundamental rights of Lagos Muslims are being flagrantly denied today by the Lagos State government. Using blatant lies and divide et impera gimmicks, a non-Muslim commissioner is publicly insulting Muslims and maligning their collective integrity.

In the interest of peace, we lay the following demands before the Lagos State House of Assembly:
1. That the Honourable House calls this arrogant commissioner to order;
2. That the principal of Kadara High School be suspended and the circumstances surrounding the caning of the Muslim girl investigated by the House;
3. That the House reopens dialogue on the demand of Lagos Muslims for use of hijab in public schools while Islamic organizations are allowed to attend a public hearing on the matter.
4. That the public hearing be given due publicity on radio, television and other means of communication.

Gentlemen of the press, Muslims are civilized and cultured people. We issue no threats. But let nobody make a mistake about our resolve to ensure that justice is done. Already, MURIC has reported this hijab case to some international and local human rights bodies so that the whole world will know what is happening here. Letters have been forwarded to Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, The Islamic Human Rights Commission, National Human Rights Commission as well as the House of Representatives’ Committee on Human Rights in Abuja. This is just the beginning. All available legitimate options are on the table.

Thank you and Allah bless you all.

Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC),

TEXT OF PRESS CONFERENCE ON THE STATE OF THE NATION ADDRESSED BY THE NETWORK OF ISLAMIC ORGANISATIONS UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE MUSLIM RIGHTS CONCERN (MURIC) ON TUESDAY 21ST MAY, 2013 AT BELEKE SMITH HALL, RABIAT THOMPSON STREET, OFF MASHA ROAD, SURULERE, LAGOS.


Our Fathers and Mothers-in-Islam,
Brothers and Sisters-in-Islam,
Leaders of Islamic Organisations here present,
Gentlemen of the Press,
As-Salaam Alaykum Wa rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu,

We welcome you all to this press briefing. Let me begin by assuring you that Islamic organizations which are active in Lagos State have come together to form a loose federation called Network of Islamic Organisations in Lagos State (NIOLAS) for the purpose of addressing issues of common interest. The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) only coordinates matters affecting the Allah-given and fundamental rights of Muslims in the state. This is without prejudice, rivalry or challenge to the existing Nigerian Muslim Council (NMC) which is a parent organization and whose leaders we hold in high esteem. All the organizations, including MURIC, owe allegiance to the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) which remains the bona fide umbrella body for all Islamic organizations in Nigeria.

Among the organizations in the Network are The Companion, The Criterion, Association of Muslim Professionals (AMP), Conference of Islamic Organizations (CIO), NASFAT, The Muslim Students Society of Nigeria (MSSN), Muslim Lawyers Association (MULAN), Muslim Teachers Association (MUTAN), Risalatul Haq Da’wah Society International, Al-Ikhwan Society, The Muslim Welfare Fund, etc. The leaders and members of these organizations are present in this hall today.

STATE OF EMERGENCY: President Goodluck Jonathan recently declared a state of emergency in three states: Adamawa, Borno and Yobe. While the Network of Islamic organizations condemn terrorism and violence, we insist that military force alone cannot solve Nigeria’s security problem. What Nigeria needs for enduring peace is good governance and transparency. We are of the opinion that the remaining 33 states of the federation have been under emergency for long. With hunger and starvation, with homelessness and joblessness among our army of graduates, what further declaration of a state of emergency do we need? Where is electricity? Where is water? Where are the roads? Corruption remains Nigeria’s middle name and it has worsened under the present administration. The average Nigerian lives on less than $1 per day. Per capita income is less than $300. Our budget for 2013 is just N4.8 trillion whereas we are making N12.7 trillion this year from oil alone. Where is the rest going? We challenge the Federal Government to answer that question.

This is the root of our security problem, not religion, not even Boko Haram. The Boko Haram phenomenon is a magical conjecture manufactured in official factories. The more we look, the less we see. Only those who created it know the rationale for its existence. The declaration of emergency rule recently is therefore sheer hocus pocus. Otherwise why leave the sitting civilian governor, the state assembly and the local governments in office? Why the massive deployment of troops in a way that has not been seen in this country even in war time?

We are deeply worried by the past reputation of Nigerian soldiers. They have a robust appetite for seeking relevance in the polity. This explains the military’s 40-year misadventure into politics and the decimation of all facets of Nigerian life. The role of the military in the Boko Haram saga has been one of deliberate prolongation of its offensive. The military was not interested in dialogue or amnesty for obvious reasons. Otherwise why did the Baga incident occur after the president had set up a committee on amnesty? Was it not to escalate the crisis and provoke the militants more than ever before?

The well-known high-handedness of the Nigerian military is a major cause for concern. We call for the observance of the rules of engagement to the letter. Allah-given and fundamental rights of the civilian population must be respected. We call for independent observers from both the European Union and the United Nations to be allowed into the emergency zone immediately. We strongly suspect that the only reason why communication was disrupted in the zone in the past 48 hours is to make it impossible for eyewitness accounts of atrocities and extra-judicial killings to emerge from the ruins.

Reports reaching us from the zone is not palatable. A huge humanitarian crisis is evolving in the territory. Already, over 2000 Nigerians have fled Borno following the clash between Boko Haram and Nigerian troops in Abadam local government area of Borno North. As at Saturday 18th May, 2013, supplies were running short in the zone. The price of basic goods has soared with supply lorries prevented from entering the zone.


THE BAGA SAGA: We reject reports of investigations of the Baga massacre by the Nigerian military. They cannot investigate themselves. We demand an independent enquiry conducted by the UN. We also call for the involvement of the International Criminal Court (ICC) at the Hagues. Those found culpable should be given the Charles Taylor treatment.

THE HIJAB IMBROGLIO:
The Lagos State Commissioner for Education, Mrs. Olayinka Oladunjoye, in a press conference addressed on Tuesday, 14th May, 2013 placed a ban on the use of hijab and head scarf by female Muslim pupils in public schools in Lagos State. She stated that such Islamic attires would only be allowed during “… prayers, when they want to read the Qur’an and when they want to go for Jumat prayers.”


We reject this position. It is a product of intolerance, tyranny, oppression, persecution and stigmatization. The rejection of the use of hijab in public schools reveals the pitiable human rights condition to which Muslims in the South-West have been subjected both in colonial and post-colonial days. It also stands in contradistinction to the democratic principles of freedom, equal rights, justice and fair play.


Instead of allowing free dialogue, the Lagos State Government is pushing Muslims in the state to the wall. We reject the claim made by the Commissioner for Education that the issue was discussed at length and that “We reached certain agreements”. Concerned and well-informed Muslims and Islamic organizations were either deliberately ignored or edged out of purported discussions while handpicked surrogates of the commissioner and uninformed few were picked. MURIC petitioned the ministry in a letter dated 25th February 2013. Though the ministry acknowledged the letter, we were not invited for dialogue at any point in time.


We challenge the Commissioner for Education to tell the world who she discussed with. She should also tell Nigerians what happened to all the memoranda submitted on the issue by several Islamic organizations in the state. What became of the 8-page memorandum dated 26th March, 2013 and submitted by MURIC to the State’s House of Assembly? It is our contention that a neo-colonial mindset is at play in the Lagos State Ministry of Education.


We also challenge the Commissioner for Education to tell the world what her ministry has done to the principal of Kadara Junior Grammar School, Ebute Metta, Mrs. Ukpaka, who personally administered 43 strokes of the cane on a female Muslim student by name Aisha Alabi, a JSS 2D pupil, whose only offence was wearing hijab. Is this not child abuse? Is this not the height of Islamophobia and religious intolerance tainted with sadism? Instead of taking the law into their hands, the Muslims in the state petitioned the ministry of education. What has the ministry done about this?


The Commissioner’s pronouncement that Muslims who want their children to use hijab should take their children to Muslim private schools is a reckless, arrogant and irresponsible statement. It is a declaration of war on Lagos Muslims. Is the commissioner saying that Muslims are not part of the citizenry in Lagos State? Are the Muslims not paying tax? Or is the commissioner telling Lagosians that Lagos public schools are designed only for Christian pupils? This commissioner has no iota of respect for the dignity of the Muslim person. She has casted aspersion on the collective body of the Muslim Ummah in Lagos State.


The Commissioner should simply resign if she can no longer play the role assigned her in the ministry. She has demonstrated enough hatred for and arrogance towards Muslims. No public officer worth the salt should make such an insensitive, provocative, outrageous and preposterous statement. It is an insult on Islamdom in Lagos State. It is also a ploy to uproot all vestiges and landmarks of Islam from Lagos State. It is therefore unacceptable.


For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Article 18 of the United Nations Charter and Articles 9 and 14 of the European Treaty of Human Rights and Articles 18 and 19 of the Treaty of Civil and Political Rights all of which Nigeria is a signatory support the position of Muslims clamouring for the use of hijab. Denial of this agitation also constitutes a breach of Section 38 (i) & (ii) of the 1999 Nigerian Constitution.


We challenge the Commissioner to tell the world why the hijab is acceptable on school uniforms for Muslims in the North and an anathema in the South-West when Nigeria is just one country. Network warns that Lagos State Government is provoking Muslims in the state. The recent position of the LASG has merely worsened relationship between the Muslims and the state government. We have no problem with our Christian neighbours and people of other faith. We oppose violent reactions. We believe that religion should promote tolerance, forgiveness and love. The name of the religion does not matter. No religion from God preaches hatred or violence. But relationship between the adherents of different faiths must be based on mutual respect and equal rights in order to achieve such cohesion in society.


What the Muslims are demanding on the issue of hijab is their Allah-given and fundamental right. They are not asking anyone to put hijab on Christian pupils. They want to dress the way the Qur’an commands them. Freedom of religion is one of the civil liberties enjoyed in a civilized society. Lagos should not deny this religious right. Hijab is used on school uniform in Britain and Ireland. Female Muslim police use hijab on their uniform. That is true liberalism and advanced democracy. It is stigma for anyone to hate the sight of Muslims or to claim that the sight of Muslim pupils in hijab is capable of causing religious crisis.


The fact of the matter is that the current uniform used in schools is Christian uniform imposed on Nigerians by Christian colonial masters. It suits Christian culture and that is why Christians are not complaining. But it constitutes a violent assault on the psyche of true and practicing Muslims. That is why Muslims are complaining. But will LASG want to be seen as imposing Christian culture on Muslims and denying the latter of their well-deserved dividend of democracy?


Therefore nobody should tag us as trouble-makers. Our thesis comes from a mature and balanced mind. We want peace in Lagos and in Nigeria as a whole. We appeal to all and sundry not to allow the demand for hijab to be hijacked by politicians and religious extremists.


Violence or terrorism is mere smoke and there can be no smoke without fire. The fire which often ignites violence or terrorism is injustice, marginalization and stigmatization. We assert that justice is the soul of peace. It is difficult to deny one and enjoy the other. This is the cause-effect theory as in the law of Karma.


We appeal to all well-meaning Lagosians, particularly elders, to intervene in this matter. We have great respect for the leadership of the Lagos administration. We therefore call on LASG to open another door of genuine dialogue where all proactive Islamic organizations and human rights groups will be represented. This is not too much in the interest of durable peace. The last exercise was selective, parochial and undemocratic.

However, we affirm that the Muslims will continue to explore all constitutional means to challenge this outrageous declaration on hijab. In spite of the Commissioner’s attempt to provoke Muslims in Lagos, we remain committed to the maintenance of law and order in the state. We appeal to Muslims in the state to ignore this provocation and to remain calm and law abiding.

To be continue...

Lobatan, oju ti won ooo. I knew the banning won't take place in our Lagos. Instead, its the evil perpetrators including the Mr Ukpai that will go back to their states.

This is faith based. The topic should be to all Protestants or to all Christian!

The Central Bank Governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, surprised guests present at the Muson Centre for the launching of the book of Sir Olaniwun Ajayi at the Muson Centre in Lagos. The book titled: ” Nigeria , Africa ‘s failed asset?” attracted many important dignita
ries, intellectuals and some governors. The argument by discussants centered on whether ornot the colonial masters laid the foundation for the problems Nigeria is currently facing. Many argued thatthe British loved the North and that was why it gave more than 50 percent of the National Assembly seats to the North at independence.Sanusi, however, stole the show when he spoke. His speech was anchored on the plank that the British andNigerian rulers are responsible for the state of the situation Nigeria finds itself today.Below is his unedited speech.“Let me start by saying that I am Fulani (laughter). My grandfather was an Emir and therefore I represent all that has been talked about this afternoon. Sir Ajayi has written a book. And like all Nigerians of his generation, he has written in the language of his generation. “My grandfather was a Northerner, I am a Nigerian. The problem with this country is that in 2009, we speak in the language of 1953. Sir Olaniwun can be forgiven for the way he spoke, but I cannot forgive people of my generation speaking in that language.“Let us go into this issue because there are so many myths that are being bandied around. Before colonialism, there was nothing like Northern Nigeria, Before the Sokoto Jihad, there was nothing like the Sokoto caliphate. The man from Kano regard himself as bakane. The man from Zaria was bazazzage. The man from Katsina was bakatsine. The kingdoms were at war with each other. They were Hausas, they were Muslims, they were killing each other.“The Yoruba were Ijebu, Owo, Ijesha, Akoko, Egba. When did they become one? When did the North become one? You have the Sokoto Caliphate that brought every person from Adamawa to Sokoto and said it is one kingdom.They now said it was a Muslim North. “The Colonialists came, put that together and said it is now called the Northern Nigeria. Do you know what happened? Our grand fathers were able to transform to beingNortherners. We have not been able to transform to being Nigerians. Thefault is ours. Tell me, how many governors has South West produced after Awolowo that are role models of leadership?How many governors has the East produced like Nnamdi Azikiwe that can be role models of leadership? How Many governors in the Niger Delta are role models of leadership? Tell me. There is no evidence statistically that any part of this country has produced good leaders. You talk about Babangida and the economy. Who were the people incharge of the economy during Babangida era? Olu Falae, Kalu Idika Kalu. What state are they from in theNorth? “We started the banking reform; the first thing I heard was that in Urobo land, that there will be a curse of the ancestors. I said they (ancestors) would not answer. They said why? I said how many factories did Ibru build in Urobo land? So, why will the ancestors of the Urobo people support her?“We talk ethnicity when it pleases us. It is hypocrisy. You said elections were rigged in 1959, Obasanjo andMaurice Iwu rigged election in 2007. Was it a Southern thing? It was not. “The problem is: everywhere in thiscountry, there is one Hausa, Ibo, Yoruba and Itshekiri man whose concern is how to get his hands on thepile and how much he can steal. Whether it is in the military or in the civilian government, they sit down, they eat together. In fact, the constitution says there must be a minister from every state.“So, anybody that is still preaching that the problem of Nigeria is Yoruba or Hausa or Fulani, he does not loveNigeria . The problem with Nigeria is that a group of people from each and every ethnic tribe is very selfish. The poverty that is found in Maiduguri is even worse than any poverty that you find in any part of the South.The British came for 60 years and Sir Ajayi talked about few numbers of graduates in the North (two atindependence) . What he did not say was that there was a documented policy of the British when they camethat the Northerner should not be educated. It was documented. It was British colonial policy. I have thedocument. I have published articles on it. That if you educate the Northerner you will produce progressive Muslim intellectuals of the type we have in Egypt and India. So, do not educate them. It was documented. And you say they love us (North).“I have spent the better part of my life to fight and Dr. (Reuben) Abati knows me. Yes, my grandfather was an Emir. Why was I in the pro- democracy movement fighting for June 12? Is (Moshood) Abiola from Kano ? Why am I a founding director of the Kudirat Initiative for Nigerian Development (KIND)?“There are good Yoruba people, good Igbo people, good Fulani people, good Nigerians and there are bad people everywhere. That is the truth. “Stop talking about dividing Nigeria because we are not the most populous country in the world. We have all the resources that make it easy to make one united great Nigeria . It is better if we are united than to divide it. “Every time you talk about division, when you restructure, do you know what will happen? In Delta Area, the people in Warri will say Agbor, you don’t have oil. When was the Niger Delta constructed as a political entity? Ten years ago, the Itshekiris were fighting the Urobos. Isn’t thatwhat was happening? Now they have become Niger Delta because they have found oil. After, it will be, if you do not have oil in your village then you cannot share our resources. “There is no country in the world where resources are found in everybody’s hamlet. But people have leaders and they said if you have this geography and if we are one state, then we have a responsibility for making sure that the people who belong to this country have a good nature.“So, why don’t you talk about; we don’t have infrastructure, we don’t have education, we don’t have health. We are still talking about Fulani. Is it the Fulani cattle rearer or is anybody saying there is no poverty among theFulani?”, he said. This is a great message to our generation. Are we truly ready to develop and unite Nigeria?

ayenny02: Pls don't forget to tell Jesus whenever he appears again in your dream that he should go to Jerusalem to convert all muslim in that city to christianity because na that place him birth place.

MURIC REJECTS LASG POSITION ON HIJAB
The Lagos State Commissioner for Education, Mrs. Olayinka Oladunjoye, in a press conference addressed on Tuesday, 14th May, 2013 placed a ban on the use of hijab and head scarf by female Muslim pupils in public schools in Lagos State. She stated that such Islamic attires would only be allowed during “… prayers, when they want to read the Qur’an and when they want to go for Jumat prayers.”

We of the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) reject this position. It is a product of intolerance, tyranny, oppression, persecution and stigmatization. The rejection of the use of hijab in public schools reveals the pitiable human rights condition to which Muslims in the South-West have been subjected both in colonial and post-colonial days. It also stands in contradistinction to the democratic principles of freedom, equal rights, justice and fair play.

Instead of allowing free dialogue, the Lagos State Government is pushing Muslims in the state to the wall. We reject the claim made by the Commissioner for Education that the issue was discussed at length and that “We reached certain agreements”. Concerned and well-informed Muslims and Islamic organizations were either deliberately ignored or edged out of purported discussions while handpicked surrogates of the commissioner and uninformed few were picked. MURIC petitioned the ministry in a letter dated 25th February 2013. Though the ministry acknowledged the letter, we were not invited for dialogue at any point in time.

We challenge the Commissioner for Education to tell the world who she discussed with. She should also tell Nigerians what happened to all the memoranda submitted on the issue by several Islamic organizations in the state. What became of the 8-page memorandum dated 26th March, 2013 and submitted by MURIC to the State’s House of Assembly? It is our contention that a neo-colonial mindset is at play in the Lagos State Ministry of Education.

We also challenge the Commissioner for Education to tell the world what her ministry has done to the principal of Kadara Junior Grammar School, Ebute Metta, Mrs. Ukpaka, who personally administered 43 strokes of the cane on a female Muslim student by name Aisha Alabi, a JSS 2D pupil, whose only offence was wearing hijab. Is this not child abuse? Is this not the height of Islamophobia and religious intolerance tainted with sadism? Instead of taking the law into their hands, the Muslims in the state petitioned the ministry of education. What has the ministry done about this?

The Commissioner’s pronouncement that Muslims who want their children to use hijab should take their children to Muslim private schools is a reckless, arrogant and irresponsible statement. It is a declaration of war on Lagos Muslims. Is the commissioner saying that Muslims are not part of the citizenry in Lagos State? Are the Muslims not paying tax? Or is the commissioner telling Lagosians that Lagos public schools are designed only for Christian pupils? This commissioner has no iota of respect for the dignity of the Muslim person. She has casted aspersion on the collective body of the Muslim Ummah in Lagos State.

The Commissioner should simply resign if she can no longer play the role assigned her in the ministry. She has demonstrated enough hatred for and arrogance towards Muslims. No public officer worth the salt should make such an insensitive, provocative, outrageous and preposterous statement. It is an insult on Islamdom in Lagos State. It is also a ploy to uproot all vestiges and landmarks of Islam from Lagos State. It is therefore unacceptable.

For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Article 18 of the United Nations Charter and Articles 9 and 14 of the European Treaty of Human Rights and Articles 18 and 19 of the Treaty of Civil and Political Rights all of which Nigeria is a signatory support the position of Muslims clamouring for the use of hijab. Denial of this agitation also constitutes a breach of Section 38 (i) & (ii) of the 1999 Nigerian Constitution.

We challenge the Commissioner to tell the world why the hijab is acceptable on school uniforms for Muslims in the North and an anathema in the South-West when Nigeria is just one country? MURIC warns that Lagos State Government is provoking Muslims in the state. The recent position of the LASG has merely worsened relationship between the Muslims and the state government. We have no problem with our Christian neighbours and people of other faith. We oppose violent reactions. MURIC’s motto, as stated above, is ‘Dialogue, Not Violence’. We believe that religion should promote tolerance, forgiveness and love. The name of the religion does not matter. No religion from God preaches hatred or violence. But relationship between the adherents of different faiths must be based on mutual respect and equal rights in order to achieve such cohesion in society.

What the Muslims are demanding on the issue of hijab is their Allah-given and fundamental right. They are not asking anyone to put hijab on Christian pupils. They want to dress the way the Qur’an commands them. Freedom of religion is one of the civil liberties enjoyed in a civilized society. Lagos should not deny this religious right. Hijab is used on school uniform in Britain and Ireland. Female Muslim police use hijab on their uniform. That is true liberalism and advanced democracy. It is stigma for anyone to hate the sight of Muslims or to claim that the sight of Muslim pupils in hijab is capable of causing religious crisis. The fact of the matter is that the current uniform used in schools is Christian uniform imposed on Nigerians by Christian colonial masters. It suits Christian culture and that is why Christians are not complaining. But it constitutes a violent assault on the psyche of true and practicing Muslims. That is why Muslims are complaining. But will LASG want to be seen as imposing Christian culture on Muslims and denying the latter of their well-deserved dividend of democracy?

Therefore nobody should tag us as trouble-makers. Our thesis comes from a mature and balanced mind. We want peace in Lagos and in Nigeria as a whole. We appeal to all and sundry not to allow the demand for hijab to be hijacked by politicians and religious extremists. Violence or terrorism is mere smoke and there can be no smoke without fire. The fire which often ignites violence or terrorism is injustice, marginalization and stigmatization. We assert that justice is the soul of peace. It is difficult to deny one and enjoy the other. This is the cause-effect theory as in the law of Karma. We appeal to all well-meaning Lagosians, particularly elders, to intervene in this matter. We have great respect for the leadership of the Lagos administration. We therefore call on LASG to open another door of genuine dialogue where all proactive Islamic organizations and human rights groups will be represented. This is not too much in the interest of durable peace. The last exercise was selective, parochial and undemocratic.

MURIC however affirms that the Muslims will continue to explore all constitutional means to challenge this outrageous declaration on hijab. In spite of the Commissioner’s attempt to provoke Muslims in Lagos, we remain committed to the maintenance of law and order in the state. We appeal to Muslims in the state to ignore this provocation and to remain calm and law abiding.

MAI TATSINE, BOKO HARAM AND CAN: THE BITTER TRUTH
“Marwa Maitatsine, was a Christian until his death!!
Back in 1954, there ware series of meetings by the highest body of Christian association in the northern Nigeria, in Jos, which I happened to be the secretary, taking the minutes of that meeting (then, I was an unde
rgraduate student of Christian Theology). Part of the result of that meeting was, to sponsor some people among ‘us’ to go to Arab countries as new Muslim converts, and learn Arabic and Islam. Their mission is to come back to Nigeria as Muslims clerics, use their Islamic knowledge to preach violence, distort original Islamic teachings and if possible cause a riot in the North that will make northern Nigeria a history. Five people were nominated for the job, and sent to Sudan to start their mission. 3 of them refused to come back and execute their plan, but spent the rest of their lives in Sudan as true Muslims. The remaining two; Muhammad Marwa and Birema came back, Marwa was sent to Kano, and Birema was sent to Niamey Niger Republic.”….Professor Dauda Ojobi+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Professor Dauda Ojobi, a former secretary of Northern Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), a retired Professor in Benue State University faculty of Law, the 3rd Reverend Father from northern Nigeria, after Paul Gindiri, and Ganaka, The first Nigerian overseer of Baptist Church in Kaduna, and One time commissioner of Justice in Bauchi State.+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Mai Tatsine the obsolete version of Boko Haram, which began their reign in late 50’s in Kano and some other parts of Northern Nigeria, their ideologies were similar to that of Boko Haram, they forbade what Islam allowed, and allowed what Islam made haram. They claimed western education is sin, they rejected anything brought by technology, they were popular with saying, wearing a wrist watch is haram, using radios and television is haram e.t.c. (considering the technological advancement of that period). The spiritual leader of Maitatsine movement was Muhammad Marwa a.k.a Mai Tatsine. The Emir of Kano Sanusi, once suspected Maitasine as fake Muslim when he discovered Maitatsine received goods from Vatican Palace. After sarki confirmed his findings, he expelled Maitatsine out of Kano, in early 60’s. Mai Tatsine was later brought back to Kano by Gov. Rimi in 1979. Rimi believed that Maitatsine would help him win his reelection through charm. After the Maitatsine’s death, Shagari, the then President set a Anya Goru panel to investigate the crises. Prof. Dauda has made his submission in that panel, but when the President, saw the report, he said no, the white paper will not be issued on this report, because it may result to crises, so the white paper was not issued, till date.Professor Dauda became Muslim in 1966, after he came back from Rome, where he went to further his studies, in Christian Theology. He is still alive and has become a Muslim preacher for over 40 years. What I quoted above was from his lecture I attended in Bauchi, 2002.+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-Ever since, no any Christian scholar or CAN executive denied this statement from Prof. Dauda . Are they waiting for his death before they deny it?-Security operatives that always claim they want uproot the Boko Haram mayhem did not investigate in that angle, why?-Why the relationship between Jerry Gana (CAN chieftain) and Muhammad Yusuf, founder of Bokoharam? The former has bailed the later from police custody several times.-I see a double standard approach and hypocrisy by the security personnel, in the investigation.-I began to believe Boko Haram is the creation of some enemies of Islam possibly CAN (not Christian), is never a creation of Muslims.-Remember, Hillary Clinton once said Taliban is their creation, to fight Russians.I beg your pardon, if this write up hurt you in any form, it’s not intended, but facts need to be set straight. I promised to upload the audio lecture from the Prof. Himself for your digestion.

Umar Ibrahim Tafida.

It is clear that the poser is from a Christian. The people you referred to as Muslims are half-muslim as they have christians as wives.

Also, you must not complain if a muslim Governor emerge in Ondo and Ekiti States.

That's all!

Going by the new NL rules, this should not be allowed to see the day. No wonder, their own tribe is so hated by all the tribes in the country.
The same people you accused are far better than you.
Tell you governors and fathers in the East that they shall continue to regret the ethnic votes voted by them in 2011.

We still have Rev King in Prison, also TB Joshua another good Pastor. Lol

Na hypertension go kill this man oo!

funshint: Get d facts right my people:
1. Eggon people have been attacked and killed continuously by the Fulanis' with d Governor doing nothing about it.
2. The Governor is sympathetic towards d Hausa/Fulanis' to d extent of harboring them in his village which serves as a launch pad for attack on the Eggon people.
3. The Governor feels threatened 'cos d people are tired of being ruled by strangers(Hausa/Fulanis) and thus resolved to hv their own true sons at the helms of affair by 2015
4. So as to stop dis the Governor feels that the best option is to silence them thru d use of mercenaries(Fulanis/Chadians&Nigeriens) and also d state apparatus(police&SSS) which could have led 2 a genocide thus silencing them 4ever.
5. Having realised that his(Governor) plans had failed; he rushed to Abuja in order to seek d sympathy of the presidency thru d vice-president who is an Hausa/Fulani by blackmailing d Eggon; falsely accusing Ombatse of forced initiation of Muslims and “Christians”so as to compel full military intervention thus finally achieving is evil plan.
6. Remember Eggon people remain d majority in Nassarawa and most of them are not Muslims or Hausa/Fulani.
7. I don't know wat the Governor is still doing in power; he should have been removed by now.
8. Goodluck must resist being used by that bloody bastard called Al-Makura 2 cause a Genocide by authorizing full military operation.
9. What has the Governor and those in authority done about previous attack on Eggon settlements by Fulani marauders?
10. In conclusion everybody has right to existence and protection of that sacred entity called "life". The Eggon people have literally lost confidence in Government and the state security apparatus as a whole thereby putting their existence on the brink of being erased thus d best option is self-defence which is what any right thinking individual/people would have done.

No sense in this
