i lived so long in the north. every crisis has a religious undertone. i laugh always when our leaders try 2 fool us and themselves when they say these crises are political. TRASH! the fanatical muslim guy wants all xtians wiped off the earth. if he quarrels with his wife he goes out to set the nearest church on fire or send a dagger tru the closest xtian to him. ALL NORTHERN CRISES HAVE RELIGIOUS UNDERTONES.

well, i am from Osun state, i dont know were you got your figure that osun is 60% Muslim, Although some area are dominated by Muslims, other area like Ijeshas are christian, even if you go to those area that claimed to be dominated by Muslims. you will find out that the numbers of churches out-weight mosques. Maybe the assertion was based of olden days settlers,

I find this piece very interesting.  I will first start with Hammid O. Typical of all hausa muslims he is trying to evade the main facts.  He is now blaming the crises on government not being able to provide jobs for the people and trying to say they should work on that.  Quite true, but we all know that government has not always provided for us. Government will never provide everything for everybody.  Whether I am a christian or a traditionalist and I find out that I am jobless does that give me the guaranty to go slaughtering pregnant women and their babies, slaughtering innocent youth corpers, burning churches, despoiling women and looting peoples property.  The answer is NO.  

Hammid O what is Bad is Bad please do not look for any excuse to support your muslim brothers. Every human being is a creation of God Almighty at no instance should any one take the life of a fellow brother or sister in the name of joblessness.  Hammid O all those your muslim brothers in Kaduna that have taken the Law into their hands and taken the life of innocent people must pay for it dearly and the fact is that on judgement day they have no hidding place they will burn forever in HELL FIRE.

Now to the main issue.  My own theory to all this crises are neither political, religious or tribal.  This crises is simply due to ENVY.  The typical hausa man is lost in this present dispensation. He is not educated (just a few are I mean) and you will agree with me that in the world we are living in today one must be educated, learn a trade or at least buy and sell before he can make a living.  The hausa populace in Nigeria have been sleeping. They reproduce massively without thinking of a way to provide for their offspring. You will find a jobless hausa man having four wives, concubines and twenty children just sitting on a mat under a mango tree from morning till night expecting God to drop manna from heaven for him my brothers and sisters how possible is that?

This now leads me to why I say it is pure envy.  The hausa man has put himself in a corner due to his decision to populate the earth and he now sees the average southerner hustling, a good example being the so called uneducated ones like the enterprising Igbo guys who come from various villages in the east to towns like Kano Jos kaduna and bauchi becoming millonaires. This is because of their involvement in businesses like the sale of spareparts, electronics pharmaceutical products cosmetics etc. All of a sudden you find the hausa man envious of these southerners the next that will happen is this an excuse will come up it will either be a christian butcher used the same knife to slaughter a pig and a cow and sold the beef to muslim brothers which is against their religion. You will now find groups chanting arabic words well armed with swords, axes and long sickles slaughtering maiming despoiling looting and burning churches. At the end of the day who are the victims?  Youth corpers, igbo business men, yoruba muslims etc.  Just because this group of southerners practice family planning have an education, have learnt a trade, can provide for themselves and their families translating to high living standards. The Hausas are a lazy bunch most of them into black market businesses which are not consistent eg sitting down by the road side to sell dollars and pounds, waiting for fuel scarcity to sell black market fuel, selling water in jerrycans, selling sweets and cigarate, selling sugarcane, selling kolanut, walking around town as a cobler, buying old bottles/newspapers (Mai kwalabe). Now the ones that are a little connected have friends in Abuja all they simply do is sit wait for contracts to be offered them by their friends in Abuja.  Contracts they will never execute or at worst sublet to Igbos and Yorubas.  You can see why they cant imagine power slipping off their hands.  Once power is off their hands no more fake contracts no more free money everyone will have to sweat for his money.  

Most southerners sweat for thier cash in this country most know that education is vital in this our internet age. The Hausa man is just realizing it.  Infact they have a group called BOKO HARAM meaning western education is forbidden. What a pity. This BOKO HARAM is funded by educated people/working class people and someone would come out to say crises is caused by illitracy/unemployment.  We all know the destruction this BOKO HARAM caused to the country.  

I would like to conclude that these bunch of Hausas are envious of the southerners lifestyle and  believe.  If a southerner is jobless what he will simply do is simply to engage himself in something, go to church and pray to God almighty to assist him and God that is God will perform wonders.  The opposite is the case of a Hausa man.  Once a Hausa man does not get what he wants or for example he sees that he has lost an election because his main source of living is the sharing of government money. The Hausa man will draw his sword and use the black market fuel he sells to start slaughtering maiming looting despoiling and burning churches due to ENVY. At the end of the day if you say this crises is political how does killing give one political power, if we say religous why does he kill his fellow muslims, if tribal the hausa man still slaughters his fellow hausa man.

Am just me:

the hausa/fulani man is the most hardworking in nigeria/hardwork and striving for development=in our dna, as a matter of fact when a northern person is trying to better himself, what does the government do? it put's him down i have seen it with many individuals who have to get foreign aid just to start a charity, and don't talk about "boko haram" you are sounding like the rest, it is not a force in the north somehow the media is trying to make it what it is not for an obvious agenda, to spread your agenda, what can you do but tarnish our religion that's all you know, we see the failures of the federal government to adresse issue, what do you do, you blame islam, walahi from my point of view this is not about religion (the north is very tolerant we accepted alot of southerners when we were at our peak), we do not despice education (the north has always produced some of the greatest scholars/scientists in african history i.e dan marina, masani al barwani etc.) we can definitely look at that in our heritage, the good outweighs the bad in the north when you find a really good northerner ther are no better human beings in the world even in the civil war when emotion and anger was high we heard of stories of fulani/hausa get killed trying to protect strangers (children, women, elders) from the south, where else can that happen? don't tell us what we are not, we know our short comings we don't need reetards writing some pathetic stories that some ignoramuses will obviously believe, pathetic

dejyx:

As Usual typical of you guys thank God I am not by your side you would have done what is worse than calling me not-so-smart person and insult others as ignoramus. There is no need  for insult it can't help us.  We should try as much as possible to be factual.  I will use Jos as an example for a little explanation.  Please where you think I am wrong point me out thats how it is done.  I have lived in Jos for about 36 years now so there are so many of your type here.  My own is that there is something that muslims are hidding I just dont know what it is.  Here in Jos, you guys call us southerners arne mai shan gia (infidel/outcast that drinks alcohol) they say we are Kapiri mai chin Mushe (pagans that eat unslaughtered meat) unslaughtered meat I think they mean things like bush meat and for that we are not worhty to live even we should be slaughtered with sickles and die while the murders enjoy themselves in paradise. Insulting people means nothing to you namfav when you can slaughter and support slaughtering. I am not surprised you are calling me not-so-smart person. In my religion there is no Gentile and no Jew people are God's creation we don't judge people on earth by saying arne mai shan gia or Kapiri mai chin mushe or gidan Kaurwaye as you people say.  

Any way my friend I am not talking based on media I am talking from experience.  I have been a refugee about three times that is because I lived near angwan rimi after shagari corner here in Jos.  I and many others have had to pack out of that area because we live near muslims.  Jos was so peaceful then we used to send food to muslim brothers during xmas and easter. I used to enjoy sallah celebration because I eat alot of RAM meat during those celebrations and they send us food during sallah. Now all this is history. Let us ask us why.  Lets give a brief summary to this, one friday afternoon 8th sept 2001 Jos was in flames the story was this a lady was passing congo junction where they have there friday prayers but the place was blocked. she was told not to pass the blocked road because it was already time for prayers, the lady insisted she must pass she passed and the whole place set ablaze.  Another crisis in jos was due to the fact that jos north chairman winner was declared, the winner was a Plateau man as against a hausa man instead of the hausas going to the electoral tribunal they started burning christian houses at about 1am in the morining at Ali Kazaure street.  Have you heard of Dogon Nahawa, Retsat and Zot Fulani killed 500 innocent women and children while they were sleeping at night.  The excuse was that people of Dogon Nahawa Retsat and Zot ate fulani mens cows.  I can give you ten (10) lame excuses why crises have been  sparked up in nothern Nigeria infact these excuses are ridiculous.

Any way my friend like I said earlier please feel free to say no to what you think is wrong that I have said instead of insulting.

This is a combination of socio-political-economic-and religous tensions. Let us all be honest to ourselves, the North boasts the lowest literacy rates in Nigeria And has a large minority if well educated Southern-Igbo and multinational Christians living in cities like Kano, Kaduna taking up the high paying jobs.

Northeners see the Southerners as intruders and view them as an altogether different entity due to economic and religious differences. So what do they do? In expression of their anger they go about burning the homes of Succesful Southerners and churches throughout the North in retribution. The average Hausa man has no education passed primary 6, and therefore is ineligible for high-tech and modern jobs which call for an educated Southerm labour force.

Jaidey-one:

gosh!!! I wonder if this namfav and his hausa brothers would accept the truth. If anyone says the problem is religious u'll attack him. If someone else says it's tribal or political u'll still insult him. Yet u can't give us a good reason why your muslim brothers are killing people and burning properties. If there's a not-so-smart person on this thread then it's you.

namfav:

what truth should be accepted, that we hate non-muslims? i speak this with certainty when i say this is nothing to do with hatred for muslims and non-muslims, neither is it tribal maybe in your quarters it is tribal but not in ours, the problem is social caused by the general political enviroment, in real life i don't think i will lose friends who are christian because i am muslim or because i am fulani, but there is a big possiblity friendships will be lost because of disagreement with social structures and the general enviroment of nigerias politics whenever i come across a southerner as a northerner we always avoid politics, we talk about religion, culture etc. but not politics do you know why? we've lived each other for too long with our different tribes/religions but now that religion has been politicised and being used by sections of the media to score points and sympathy why do you think there is a problem these things did not exist years ago just now especialy with the growth of internet where everyone can just go on and spew alot of rubbish on forums, news websites and blogs, even intertainment blogs are used for politics against northerners (e.g linda ikejis blog), and you think we are the ones to blame? please 

namfav:


you are not being factual at all and i come across your type everytime i go on internet, your little story is pathetic and false but there will be your type that will believe that nonsense, as you like to believe, we are not lazy, unwilling to learn, or the other pathetic stereotypes you like to spew, you know what i hate people like you who make things up, lol i don't care what names you are called i have never used those words or hear anyone that i know using those words but if you are acting like kufr you will be call such why do you get offended do you know what it means? you insult our religion and you are offended when you are called kufr, does someone who kills get offended for being called a murderer? not all southerners are bad people, in fact the good are more than the bad it's just i guess the bad are making the most noise, they have their hands on the media, always on the internet spreading lies etc.  and you expect good things?

who cares about your experiences i also have experiences to tell i'm sure we all have experiences that we want to forget, but someone with a tongue as sharp like yours and a head as thick as yours will get into any trouble, do you think if you offend people you will not get people angry and some people refuse to learn on history, you gave a story of a arrogant lady who goes on to offend people after being warned, that sum up your type, you get warned but when sheet happens you lay the blame, you know what gets under my skin, is the fact that you get warned that it is worth not saying or doing certain things but going instead to test other individuals, how pathetic man, many wars would have been preventable if some people just stopped being thick
