The guy asked a right question. DHQ would have been more specific instead of labelling the attackers Shiites. The guys that were processing today, had/have a leader, they would have used the name of the leader instead of using the name Shiitea

[b]You are very correct!

Not all Shiite Muslims are followers of Zakzaky. Even though of the estimated 10 million Nigerian Shiites, Zakzaky has about five to seven million followers.

Zakzaky is the head of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria.

Check:

www.islamicmovement.org

Zakzaky is the head of that organization. Not the head of Shiites as a whole, even if he follows Shia doctrines. Just like we cannot say Shekau is head of Sunnis. This generalization is very unnecessary and mistaken.

There are Shiites and Sunnis in every country around the world. Beliefs/religion have nothing to do with a movement or an organization. Otherwise, is Zakzaky head of Shiites in China?

The generalization is wrong. Imagine on 9/11 the US army declares: "Muslims attack the US". Or calling bin laden head of Muslims. Of course I am not comparing Zakzaky to bin laden because he leads an organization that has denied the allegations of violence thrown at it. And it has maintained it is peaceful, even after three of zakzakys sons and thirty others were killed last year, the group didn't resort to violence. I hope they maintain peace and not react. Again, the military claimed it was attacked. Each time no soldier gets injured but civilians get killed. I don't buy the story that the army chief was attacked. The Islamic movement claims the soldiers stormed it's center. [/b]

Before English language came to Nigeria, northerners were reading and writing with/in Arabic. The one on the naira note is Hausa ajami, a form of Hausa but written with Arabic. There's nothing wrong in writing in Arabic, at the end of the day its just another language. + It has a stronger historical root in Nigeria than English.


Spare us such explanation, Nigeria's official language is"ENGLISH". the inscriptions tells a lot about Nigeria and it's amalgamation pattern.

infact what you wrote does not address my questions a bit.
The issue is, some sections of the country believe Nigeria is their papa property so they can manipulate it the way they deem fit. We all do not speak Arabic...

Truly there is nothing wrong in writing in Arabic. Truly ignorance is a disease. Do you knw that Iranians who write in Persians ( which to me looks just like Arabic lettering) can write their language using both English and Persian characters. I found that so interesting.


Anyway to the matter of discourse. I wonder why mumu Africans will carry western religion so much on their head. It is one to carry Islam or Christianity so much on your head like a gala seller. It's another thing to be so indoctrinated you lose your reasoning and start behaving absurd. Like killing your own tribesmen. Does this make sense? I need a ROBUST response to this.

But truth be told. Since the official language of Nigeria is English I guess the lettering on the Army stuff should be changed. What we just need is someone to sue the Nigerian Army to have it changed. But wait a minute. Is it not Nigeria I'm talking abt? Sue? I guess I'm living in fools paradise. We need to protest on the streets.

You can't bury indigenous language & culture in the graveyard of English language. Most countries speak more than one language and they also accommodate them. Case in point, South Africa.

Re: Shiites Attempted Assassination Of Buratai, The Chief-Of-Army-Staff In Zaria by Osu175(m): 9:31pm On Dec 12, 2015
I have an advise to Nigerians


Am an igbo boy who grow up in zaria .

If shiites should start their own,boko haram go they learn work from shiites.

Just because of El zakzaky in kongo zaria,there is no church in kongo aside in one in kongo campus or a place where they sell drink.

Any shiites could die for El zakzaky

All what i will tel Nigerian soldiers is that they should know how to go with El zakzaky cos his more dangerous than a rattle snake but a nice man.

I am ashamed of myself whenever I see Arabic language on our any thing concerned Nigeria. The Hausas had made Nigeria a laughing stock. I hate to be called Nigerian, u know why we are nothing before the world. One Nigeria was a mistaken phrase from Nnamdi Azikiwe, being capitalized by politicians and defrauds Nigerians.

I do envy those countries that have their language as official language. But we are talking of a country with many languages from different people and region, amalgamated under one official language. Why single out one? Are the hausas the only tribe with history?
The army's logo(I mean the symbol) should have been sango or king Jaja then?
