The man dey play away match. He's just trying to destroy his marriage

If you ask for war, accept its consequences with open arms.

The demise of NDA will be swift compared to the militancy under OBJ/Yar'Adua because almost every ethnic group and ex militants leader has come out to denounce them. They have no support among the locals

When the NA under PMB and the local communities are against you, your days are numbered. They can ask Boko haram

Stop supporting a thief

I missed the court judgment or indictment stating that Amaechi was convicted of embezzling public funds. Please share the link with me

Happy birthday to the Lion of Ubima

Slayer of a sitting President Goodluck Jonathan
Slayer of a sitting First Lady Patience 'Shepopo' Jonathan
Slayer of the demonic/lootocracy party PDP

Nyesom Wike lives to fight another day but he can only do gragra inside Rivers State. Amaechi is a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Lagos to Maiduguri. Anambra to Bayelsa. The entire Nigeria is under Rotimi in terms of Transportation

Wishing you many more fruitful years

They want to make akamu for their oracle na. Hunger dey catch the thing

This man makes the most useless and stupid comments here on Nairaland. He even deserves an award for his stupidity. Oh boy did you even read the headline not to talk of the post?

A Muslim mob stripped a 70-year-old Christian woman and paraded her naked on the streets in an attack last week in which seven Christian homes were ransacked and torched in a province south of the Egyptian capital.

According to the local Orthodox Coptic church and security officials, the assault in the Minya province village of Karama on Friday began after rumours spread that the woman’s son had had an affair with a Muslim woman – a taboo in conservative Egypt.

Police have arrested six men suspected of taking part in the violence and are looking for 12 more, the security officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to speak to the media.

Anba Makarios, Minya’s top Christian cleric, told a talkshow host on the private Dream TV network that the woman was dragged out of her home by the mob, who beat and insulted her before stripping off her clothes and forcing her to walk through the streets as they chanted Allahu Akbar, or “God is greatest”.

The woman reported the incident to the police five days later, said Makarios, adding that she had found it difficult to “swallow the humiliation” she suffered.

The incident, intensely publicised since Wednesday night, has unleashed a flurry of condemnations on social media networks where users accused ultra-conservative Salafi Muslims of being behind the violence. The hashtag “Egypt stripped naked” on Twitter gained traction shortly after it was introduced.

Extramarital affairs or sex between unmarried couples are taboo among both Muslims and Christians in Egypt. Such incidents often attract violent reactions in rural areas, where questions of honour can lead to deadly family feuds that endure for years or result in ostracising of the perpetrators.

Christian men cannot marry Muslim women in Egypt unless they convert to Islam first, but Muslim men can marry Christian women. An affair between a Christian man and a Muslim woman is almost certain to cause a great deal of trouble if the couple are found out, particularly in rural areas.

According to a statement by Makarios, police arrived at the scene of Friday’s violence nearly two hours after the attack began. The family of the Christian man had notified the police of threats against them by Muslim villagers the day before the attack, he added.

“No one did anything and the police took no pre-emptive or security measures in anticipation of the attacks,” the cleric said, speaking in another TV interview, also on Wednesday night.

“We are not living in a jungle or a tribal society. It’s incorrect for anyone to declare himself judge, police and ruler,” he told Ahmed Moussa, a prominent talkshow host on the private Sada el-Balad television.

Christians, who make up about 10% of Egypt’s population of more than 90 million people, have long complained of discrimination in the mostly Muslim nation.

Egypt’s president, Abdel-Fatah el-Sisi, in office since 2014, has sought to address some of their grievances, changing election laws to allow more Christians into the national legislature and easing restrictions on building new churches and renovating old ones.

But many Christians say they are still consistently victimised in disputes with Muslims.

Criminal gangs have often targeted wealthy Christian families south of Cairo in recent years, kidnapping their children for ransom. There have also been scores of cases in recent years of underage Christian girls lured from their families by Muslim men who force them to convert and keep them in hiding until they reach adulthood. Christians often complain that police don’t do enough to pursue the Muslim perpetrators.

At least 35% of Minya’s population is Christian, the largest in any of Egypt’s 27 provinces.

Speaking on Moussa’s Sada el-Balad TV, Makarios also said that the late arrival of the police gave the attackers “ample time” to do what they had set out to do. He predicted the village crisis would probably be handled through a government-sponsored meeting of the two sides in which the Christians would be forced to accept “humiliating” conditions for reconciliation.

If the case were different, and a Muslim man was having an affair with a Christian woman, the reaction would not have been so violent, he added.

“It is a disgrace for honest men to remain silent while accepting, seeing or hearing this.”

meeky007:

Google is your friend

Wailers will soon descend on this thread to blame Buhari for the dirty Arik seat

They are on their way

Thanks to the IB and fake promises. 2nd Niger bridge, improved electricity, working refineries were all a dream.

This one wey dem dey spend N52bn on TV, have they paid the NBC fine?

Shouldn't he be arresting the perpetrators? Or has he met with them to know that they won't do it again.

Yesterday, he hosted PDP warring factions to settle their quarrel...a private matter.

This man deserves to be fired

Kposkila:
He shud have put laws in place dat bars flaring and ensure they built compressor stations and power plants...

Gbam!! Gbammer!! Gbammest!!

INEC should not waste their time and money on presidential elections till 2047

Who the Governor epp?

This bill should be call Pre-1914 law because we will divide the country if it passes. Let them operate Sharia in their Northern Republic. South will not participate

Eeyaah maybe he has not slept in the past few days. Anybody wey see Baba Fash should tell him that we love him

Is this why NDA is degrading their environment? To get pipeline protection 'contracts'? My people really do perish for lack of knowledge

If that money was sitting in a bank account, it would have generated compund interest so they should be refunding N400 million + interest

temitemi1:
Bunch of incompetent pple!!

I see say dem don recharge your battery

I thought they wanted to listen to Nnamdi Kanu's case. They should go and ask Togo and Benin for money

Do you agree?

(In TonyeBarcanista's voice): "The party remains united"

With the speed with which Lagos is developing, National Assembly might have to pass a law to slow them down so that other states can catch up

This man is a real philanthropist. I should pay him a visit in Las Vegas

Why is taxpayer's money being spent on settling the private quarrels of a demonic political party? We pay the IG's salary. He should be attending to matters of national importance. This country sef

I don't usually see eye to eye with Fayose but I agree with his approach to this issue.

megrimor:
#MegrimorDonCome. Everything about Buhari is a mistake. Even his name!

Hypertension kills

I remember a PDP chieftain who predicted during the election period that PMB will die. He died a only a few days later.
