Definitely its obvious we are all descendants of the Arab nation according to the Holy Qur'an

The Yoruba and Hausa nation are more closer to the Arab nation by origin than any other tribe in Nigeria.

Thanks @Op for shedding some light on this topic.

It does not take away the fact that Muslim gang actually threatened people's life before a new section was finally created and the fact that the fella I initially quoted was telling half-truths which is actually the bone of contention.

And the south more prostitutes and ritual killings thab anywhere in Africa, But no one is itching to call them names. Google cannibalism in Jos ... Only ignoramus think Muslims are the only occupants of the north. The NSA who diverted millions of dollar meant for security for the campaign of president who is a failure by all accounts is also a Muslim?

I don't know anything about the NSA, why don't you give his name and the amount missing?

Post a credible news link to the cannibalism in Jos, assuming you have one.

I can tell you about Buratai and the $2 billion that vanished under his watch. Meanwhile he owns million dollar properties abroad. What kind of fool steals money from his own impoverished country, money meant to improve life in his own corner of the country to fritter away on luxuries abroad?

I can tell you about the Abacha billions who did the same as the man mentioned above. What he stole is still being returned.

I can tell you about Mrs Yar'adua and the money that she managed to solicit in bribes whilst her husband was dead/dying.

I can tell you about your foolish leaders who refused to educate the masses, said that Almajiri schools are too expensive but will spend even more on stupid subsidized trips to Mecca every year.

When we finally partition this country you people will finally have to deal with how useless and destructive you are. I can't wait.

The percentage of children being accused of being witches is unfortunate but very small. As opposed to the millions of Almajiri that are thrown out onto the street to fend for themselves.

Which cannibalism are you speaking of? That's news to me. What isn't news is the rampant child rape committed by northern Muslims.

The north has more children out of school than anywhere else in Africa.

Malnutrition is threatening the north, especially the IDPs in the north east because of northern Muslims are stealing vital resources that have been donated to make life easier for the people stuck in camps.

Oga, this is wrong. Even the Quran says Adam was created from a thick black mud

Surah Al-Hijr, Verse 33:
قَالَ لَمْ أَكُن لِّأَسْجُدَ لِبَشَرٍ خَلَقْتَهُ مِن صَلْصَالٍ مِّنْ حَمَإٍ مَّسْنُونٍ

He said: I am not such that I should make obeisance to a mortal whom Thou hast created of the essence of black mud fashioned in shape.

Don't let anyone fool you, Yorubas and most other african tribes are indigenous Africans not migrants.
It is the inferiority complex of some individuals that make them fabricate stories for a non-existent arab
origin.

I have never celebrated Ibori. Most people in Delta did not, it's only the idiots from his own immediate environment who think he is their hero.

Also, I'm not Igbo and despite the drug dealing that you mentioned they are still better than you. At least their crimes make sense. If they need money, they do things to earn money.

What reason do you people have for the rampant child rape?

What reason do you people have for the obsession with denying people real education?

What is the reason behind the senseless suicide attacks?

I will gladly drop him 100 times in the jungle (his chances of starting again and learning who he is are better there) than allow him to be continually enslaved mentally and physically by the Arabs in the Saudi. tongue How can an adult Yoruba/Hausa man make bold statement to be a descendant of the Arabs just because his language has some borrowed foreign words and possibly because he practices an Arab religion?

I still don't see how all these can be compared to a group of people that will decide to threaten your life just because you point out the flaws in their religion. Really?how insecure can you guys continue to be?

And is being the descendants of Arabs something to be proud of?

Is that why Nigerian Muslims are so barbaric?

Of course it is rampant child raope when Muslims are cioncerned. You will know and can tell us statistics when you have no knowledge of what going in your backyard

You are not aware of this story because it di not happen in the North since you hypocritical lots are only interested in bad news from the North that you can blow up on social media

I got married to him when I was only 14 because my mum didn’t want me to get into prostitution like other girls in the village. As of then, I didn’t even know how to talk to men,” she added.

I withdrew the case because my children said I should not continue with it. His mother also said she would die if I didn’t withdraw it. Our church also begged me. Let me leave everything to God; He will fight for me.

You still consider them illiterates, whether they go to school to or not. I remember when "Nigerians" scoured the Internet to try and fault Jelani Yusuf's claim that he designed Chevrolet Vott. It is not enough that he is working with GM. "How dare a Northerner, That rebellion must be put down!"
