My heart goes out to the Youth Corpers in those areas who have been deceived by our government.

Ok. I see babyosisi has changed her name to nwando. Nice one.

Now, to the topic at hand. Where do I start from? All ye muslim people should please imbibe peace as you all claim yor religion preaches. There isn't any gain in violence of any type. Like most rational people have stated in here, please take this message home to your people. Peace.

And my heart goes out to the suffering people at Yelwa. I expect Yuguda and his govt to do something urgent to assist the suffering masses over there.

But I've always been around you know. Yes, it's heartwarming to know our dear babyosisi is still very much with us.

Education without common sense is as good as no education.Religion of any kind is delusional,any body that takes it seriously apart from avenue for socializing,reaching out to the ignorants in form of motivation and filling up the empty gaps of life that you reach after you've attain your life goals and expections, should properly have his or her brain checked.
Our lack of reasoning as a people can be seen in ills of our world today,the basic human needs that every rational being on earth should have is what people pray and fast for,that is why when any thing threatens their religion,they go crazy because that is the fountain of life to them,instead of their brains,hands and legs that that same so-called god they call upon has given them to create and reproduce.
As you make your bed, so you lie lie on it,the only problem in africa today is lack of common sense,just think and work hard like even birds,ants,bees,then you see that things can be done without pastors and imans who are in most cases are as dumb as dumb can be.I wish majority of people know what the world think us,they think we are sub-humans and going by the way we live,it is true,adults having the iq of special needs children,it's just annoying.

This riot is more serious than is being reported in the media.

Good to know.

Daviddylan,

No christian should fight under any guise.
You should not stop praying for the people of this religion, If you know the spirit behind the religion and the constant shedding of blood, you will weep. I am talking from 5 months research into the religion. if you need more enlightenment on the religion, please visit www.answering-the great religion.org[url][/url] mind you this address had been modified by seun so that they will not demolish his website

Religious riots under any name ought to be condemned.

South East, South-South Speakers to Meet Over Bauchi Riot edit - http://www.nigerianewsdirect.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=199:south-east-south-south-speakers-to-meet-over-bauchi-riot&catid=85:nigerian-news&Itemid=295

Hope

its a shame! Nigerians are very predictable! when you know nothin bout a problem, u think u know every thing. i dont think any of u here have muslim friends cuz if u did u wuld have learnt dat the first thing bout friendship is to respect and try to understand each other.

I attended a federal government school and i have friends from every part of the country cutting across different religeons and tribes and i am a muslim. I feel slighted and abused by the comments i see here concerning muslims.

i wil only say one thing and that is when u dont kno anything about another person's religeon, is it a crime to ask questions?? just ask a muslim about his religeon when u meet one and am sure u wil start to realise u know nothing bout islam.

U criticise wat muslims did in bauchi but u ignore wat happens in other parts of the country.

Very biased statements by very ignorant people!!!


Honestly i have never met your kind but i knew dey existed.

Unbelievable!!! Truly shocking!!! i am actually glad i hav met a lot of christians who are 100% better than all of you here and will be proud to dissassociate them selves from the likes of you

@aligs
Many of us southerners, christians, and non-muslims know a lot about your religion more than may be comfortable for you to admit. Personally, I lived in Kano for many years, speak passable Hausa, and appreciate other people's religious point of view. However, that is not even the issue, the issue, sir, is that for too many times now, too many innocent Nigerians have lost their lives to unwanton religious destruction--- principipally championed by northern muslim youths or almajiris. As painful as the truth might hurt, it's important for us as a nation to address and monitor this issue very well. Denying it's existence, and complaining about not knowing your religious are not the issue.

to the so called "Naija King"

in every state of the federation, we have street touts who are always waiting for an opportunity to start a riot in order to gain some unhealthy profit. it is as a result of the corruption of govt, the lack of education and poverty existing in our lands thats the cause of this problems.

in lagos we have agberos, in kano (that u claim u spent some time in) they are called Kaura boys, in port harcourt am sure they have a name,  they exist in all parts of the country. ALso in every state we have responsible people, those who practice true religeon and are educated enough to know the value of life and understand its meaning.

the riots is not an issue of Islam or christianity, its an issue of the negligence and ignorant attitude of the govt towards its people. violence is the only way these touts can express their anger and frustration in the country

finally just to clear ur views a little muslim exist every where and are not restricted to the north, i come from auchi and therefore not from the north so i am not speaking on behalf of the north even though most of my  education took place in the north

so please dont come here and say things u obviously know nothing about and blame it on biased view or simply hatred on a particular religeon which is Islam. Chat me up and i wil give a history of every thing including the violence in the middle east and including the history of civilizations which existed or are presently existing

what's with this guys, the slightest provation, they start burning churches. even ordinary mosquito bite them go run go burn church

islam stinks!

Now thats the biase and hatred am talkin about, from the look of things u guys look set to burn a mosque!!!!! and u wonder how they think!!! just look at the way u r thinkin and how u behave u r no different from those that burn churches as well.

Just heard that yesterday while Christians were praising their God some fundamentalists attacked a police station at the Low cost federal housing estate in the Bauchi metropolis. A lot of people including a soldier lost their lives in the ensuing melee.

@aligs. What bias and hatred? Shit goes down and if it's mentioned as being morally wrong (which it is) you're anti-Islam?
What's your excuse for this?

Islamist militants have clashed with Nigerian police in two northern states leaving many dead, a day after at least 39 people were killed in other attacks.

Eyewitnesses told the BBC a gun battle had raged for hours in Potiskum, Yobe State and a police station set on fire.

A self-styled "Taliban" group which has staged previous attacks also fought with the security forces in Maiduguri, Borno State, killing at least 30.

A curfew has been imposed in Bauchi city after Sunday's violence.

Sharia law is in place across northern Nigeria but there is no history of al-Qaeda linked violence in the country.

Nigeria's 140 million people are split almost equally between Muslims and Christians and the two groups generally live peacefully side by side, despite occasional outbreaks of communal violence.

'Education is prohibited'

Militants chanting "God is great" attacked the Potiskum police station at about 0215 local time (0115 GMT) - the same time as the Taliban launched their raid in Maiduguri.

The police station and neighbouring buildings have been razed to the ground, eyewitnesses say.


Hundreds of people are reported to be fleeing central Maiduguri, the state capital.

The BBC's Bilkisu Babangida in Maiduguri says she has counted more than 30 dead bodies at one police building alone in Maiduguri.

Security is said to have been beefed up in Plateau State, to the south of Bauchi, where hundreds were killed in clashes between Muslims and Christians last year.

The security forces have confirmed Monday's attacks but have not released any casualty figures.

Medical sources have told the BBC that two police officers have been taken to hospital in Potiskum.

It is not clear if Monday's attacks are linked to the violence on Sunday, which was carried out by a different group.

However the BBC's Ahmed Idris in Abuja says both the Taliban and Boko Haram, the group in Bauchi, campaign against Western-style education.

Members of Boko Haram, which means "Education is prohibited", attacked a police station after some of their leaders were arrested.

Correspondents say the group is seen locally as a fringe group and has aroused suspicion for its recruitment of young men, and its belief that Western education, Western culture and science are sinful.

The Taliban came to prominence after attacking police stations in Borno State in 2004.

Fact is, these people are doing this shit in the name of Islam. They have an agenda. That makes them assholes that need to be stamped on. Doing so is not "anti-Islam". It's pure common-sense. I don't give a shit about Islam or Christianity but I do care about Nigeria being torn apart by extremists.

and they do it over and over again annually.

my friends,

All i will say is dis, who ever this people are they are not muslims, altho they seem to be fyting for some reason but not for islam. islam urges muslims to seek for knowledege and therefore education is very necessary, the fact is do not use dis incidents to attack the religion just like i cant say the 9ja deltans who r predominantly christian have an aggressive and violent nature cuz they are christians.

let me add this advice, dont use the actions of a minute number of the population to insult a religion which is the largest in africa

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_in_Africa

scambater:

When will this stupidity ever need, Bauchi that is one of the most backward states in Nigeria instead of trying to encourage westerners and easterners to develop their state is now driving them away. How pathetic.

I am sure the same people of Bauchi are also busy as we speak singing ONE NIGERIA.
WHO IS FOOLING WHO?

Nigeria,when shall we learn our lessons and get to know that Africans particularly,we had our native religions before invasion of European colonialists to African soil.Arabs with Turks and Europeans flooded Africa with all these two religions which is now causing hazards and slaughtries in our beloved country Nigeria the toothless bulldog.we should wake up,it doesnt matter Hausa,Ibo,Youruba,and revive our past forgotten native known religions,why should we kill ourselves because of something we dont know nothing about?the owners and founders of these religions never and now taking it serious,we are just ZOMBIES and follow follows,they always pay us to kill our brother,instead of coming together and find a solutions towards creating a stable governance with well-organised and functionable institutions which will benefits all the tribes,we are rather blind chasing the ghosts of violence.the Arabs and Europeans are making us laughing stocks,this is because we and for those who have never live abroad ie in thier mist will never know how we are being look at,sorry for majority of Africans particularly Nigerians who have not learned to know these two groups,ie Arabs and Europeans,these groups are full of double morals.I came to Europe since 1985,and still live with them,am not saying that am perfect,No,but its high time we have soul-searching and reality-check ourselves and ask,why are we being deceived?Nigeria,we still have very very long way to go,we havent started yet.

Religious riots, meyham, wanton killing and rape by muslim youths in Bauchi, and most of the northern states have become as predictable as the seasons. Iam dismayed that some still seek to rationalize these barbaric actions. Also, I hate it when people "those people are not muslims", we know nothing could be further from the truth. They're attempting to enact the forceful conversion started by Othman Dan Fodio. If they killed themselves, stopped going for western education, nobody would give a damn; but they want to forcefully islamize the whole Nigeria.

My thought level is getting restless from reading about education or lack thereof as pertaining to the recent sectarian riot in northern region of Nigeria. Why should any right thinking person attempts to rationalize the consistent odd behaviors by those dolts in northern region of Nigeria?

I request to be informed about the type of education that is being referred by some peeps on the forum. By Webster’s dictionary, “education is the process or art of imparting knowledge, skill and judgment”. Now, what type of education is the subject matter?

As much as I could comprehend, those hoodlums up north are well educated. At least, they could process a thought and form a judgment. Even if the twisted judgment is to embark on mayhem, burn churches, engage in a gun battles with security agents and rape infidels, I simply deduced that they are educated but chose be idiots.
