Suhaibu:

Mulims alone? don't be selfish!

you mean to say that the Non-Muslims are hoarding murder that Muslims do not have enough to go around eh

Let us take a closer look at all the recent religious and ethnic clashes that have occurred in Nigeria and only in the North(mind you)

So bastard intellectual the likes we have on Nairaland will start selling the selfish myth that Nigeria is United and anything outside that is treason. Bleep U it is time Nigerians realize that Religion and Politics will be the death of us. The masses will wallow in crisis after crisis while Politicians and Corrupt Governors hobnob (Christian/Muslim/Pagans) with each other and watch Nigeria die a slow death

It is important that you all should shine your eyes. These conflicts are not essentially religious but rather religion is being used in a struggle for power.

I don't think that those herdsmen slaughtered those women and children in a fit of religious zeal. Rather I suspect that they were instigated to do so, possibly even paid to do so, by certain power brokers for whom religious tension would be a political advantage.

In nigerian affairs, heck in all affairs, it is always important to look beneath the surface.
