Dear most Nigerians, SPEAK UP!

In the space of two days, I have watched two separate videos (see links 1 & 2) recorded, consciously and shamelessly, by supposedly educated individuals rebuffing the desperate pleas of some street beggars, apparently of northern origins. The reason cited for the denial is because they "voted for Buhari" in the just concluded elections, nevermind that one of the beggars is clearly a very young girl, not of voting age. I will not bother expounding on that illogic, or the other one in which grown thinking men presume to know the preferred candidate of someone they've most likely met for the first time, based on nothing but their apparent ethnicity. No, instead I prefer to call our attentions to the ominousness of this despicable behaviour on our collective conscience, which is, to put bluntly, pre-genocidal.

Alarming as the behaviours exhibited in these videos are, it is far more worrisome reading through the comments, as the proportion of commenters applauding and encouraging these individuals very easily drowns out the occasional dissenting voices of reason. I would like to believe, and with good reason, that the vast majority of Nigerians do not agree with the staggering maliciousness demonstrated in these videos. But as history has shown, being good does not provide immunity from the boiling frog syndrome! Remember, no genocide ever happened because blood thirsty lunatics suddenly happened upon their victims. They happened because blood thirsty lunatics said and did incrementally terrible things while the good majority stayed silent. We ought to recognise a pot for what it is, even if the water feels initially cold. We owe it to ourselves and to history to speak UP and tell those insignificant deplorables "NOT ON MY F.UCK'ING WATCH!"

Shuu? Ontop say we no want give beggars money again?Naso the matter pain una reach? You are declaring war ontop our money? I don't understand this..

I'm beginning to think there is something diabolic these beggars do with the money given to them by infidels.

Not on your watch? Come and shuk hand in my pocket and bring out money na..

Buhari should provide jobs for beggars. Abi them no dey give beggars tradermoni? Na only vote dem dey vote?

Like I said ysday ''all beggars are diabolical' ' u can all see that the rantings of OP is predicted on this premise.

Na small small we go dey see fowl yansh as the wind of hausafulanikanuris Muslims beggars and Christians givers dey blow so.

No more money for banbiallah gangs......!

#go and beg buhari ye hausafulani Muslims Beggars

OP, I'm not in the mood to speak up because those fools will not listen. The more you beg them, the more they will do yanga.

I'm waiting for the consequences of their hatred to start bearing fruit. When it start, let me hear any mad person accusing the Northerners of hatred...... That's when everyone on this platform will think I'm a northerner. You can't sow rice and and expect to reap yam. You can't expect to sow a seed and expect not to reap many seeds.

You will all learn to respect each other differences forcefully.

Buhari has brought out the worst in Nigerians. Why would he rig himself into office!

but must you beg？

i was initially indifferent about this “alms embargo”..


but with the way some ppl are hurting so bad because of it,even tho their kinsmen in zamfara and katsina who are elites actually initiated and recorded it for people to see.. i may be forced to look closely at their grievances that made them unanimously agree on this

A Christian said he doesn't want to give his money to an hausa beggar, that the beggar should go and meet the President. How is that hatred? How is that war? Is there anything i am missing? Shuu?

So who is "we" and "our" in your sophisticated rejoinder? Are you one of the individuals in the videos?

I'll tell you five reasons why it's hatred.

1. By posting it online, it becomes a tool of mockery.

2. By posting it online, you are taunting the Northerners.

3. By posting it online, you are humiliating the weakest of them.

4. By posting it online, you are exhibiting a tool of tribal supremacy.

5. By posting online, you have created an archive of distrust.

Your hatred is blinding you all to how vindictive you all are.

AgentOfAllah:

It simply means i would have done the same thing those guys in the video did and i would do it a million times.

Nobody should give any beggar any dime. Maybe one day when hunger finally resets their brains, they would understand the importance of voting to improve economy and not along religious lines.

If you are hungry, go and meet Buhari.

I would love to engage you in a meaningful discussion sir/ma, but there is not even a token amount of sense you've made that I could latch on to. Please work on your coherence!

What you are saying is we can all collectively decide not to give beggars any money again, but we shouldn't post it online right? The error is in posting it online and not in the refusal to give. Right?

I hear you.

Right but the error has been committed. A northerner that will be born in the 20 years from now will get to see these. Even if Nigeria divides, does that mean you can't have a relationship with each other.

Here you are owning up. Later, the same people would say *how do you know he is igbo?*

Who is the *we* then?

On top of that, look at his signature. Yahweh indeed.

Oga shattap your mouth. I won't give my money to any bambiala again. If you don't like it, look for the biggest and hottest transformer in your area and do the needful full stop!

Thank you my sister. God bless you for this comment.

Take a look at the signature of the first commentator and tell me if it makes sense. What Yaweh could he be referring to if I may ask?

They just dont realise what this public display and commendation of raw hate is doing to them. ALL BECAUSE A FELLOW NORTHERNER LOST AN ELECTION? It just couldn't be!! This is more about Peter Obi losing than it is Atiku losing!!

Swear by your peni.s that you you have given money to a beggar before in your life.

ThothHermes:

He rigged himself into office, right? It then means these people overwhelmingly supported Atiku right?

Now, place the actions of the people side by side your comment and see if it makes any sense!!

read this dirge to the zamfara and katsina elites that started the trend. these mournful cries should be directed to them.

Was it not on international TV's that buhari called some people under his leadership 5%? Did he say it in the privacy of his bedroom?

Didn't it create an archive of distrust?
Didn't exhibit a tool of tribal supremacy?
Didn't it humiliate the weakest of that tribe?
Didn't it taunt the easterners?
Wasn't it a tool of mockery which you and your cohorts still explore till date?

When all these were happening, what did you do?
Did you write this trash you are writing now?

Hate begets hate! You can't sow thorns and expect to real roses.
Why haven't asked your elites the reason your region is so backward even though they have ruled more than any other tribe?

Keep masturbating, it's your call baby!

You can't win with these people. They're Provocateurs. You don't happily post you wish all zamfarans or yobeans death and not expect consequences. When the crisis starts you cry foul, when you are directly fueling this. The hate is becoming shocking. Not on our watch. Rwanda went to blazes for less.

Nairaland has sat back and tolerated all sorts of rubbish.From bet scammers, Lewd images and this Satanic tribalism.

I explained the meaning of the 'we'. Don't misquote me.

And leave yahweh outta this. You don't hear me attacking any other god(s).

I'm not surprised. Their reaction is still mild compare to 2015 but this time they are dealing with the Northerners who's values system is different from the westerners.

Abeg buzz off! After been throughly violated yesterday in the trash thread you opened, one would have expected that you would take a moment to re-examine your level of IQ and properly channel it into areas where they can fit in, but nope, here you are continuing in same folly...swerve abeg.

If you are hungry, Goan meet buhari.

0balufonlll:


All of these are BY your own standards.

People have a right to do whatever they want with their monies, cameras & social media pages. If it hurts you, that is your own problem. Not everyone has to live by your standards or pretend because you are sensitive.

The germaine things is, has the poster of the videos beoken any laws? No.

Stop being one of those emotional Nigerians. Live your life & focus on what you do not what others do.

Cheers.

No wahala. The Northerners also have the rights to react but it may come by the standard you expect the Yorubas to react.

You just keep talking about his signature, what has his relationship with his God got to do with you? I'm quite sure you don't know what your own siggy says and what it portends for the peaceful co-existence of Nigerians! You hammer on his moniker thinking you can bring his God to disrepute because you are godless judging from your hate filled siggy. Hiss

Calling you 5% is not an hate speech. You indeed contributed 5% vote his government. Jonathan called you guys the pillars of his government. He indirectly accused others of not being his pillar. Buhari's issue is that he doesn't know how to speak

Dear lovmijeje, you need not wait for the fools to listen in order to make your voice heard. It is sufficient that your voice of reason should drown out their voices of hate, if only to instruct them of their insignificance.

May reason lead us to, as your name implies, love alljeje!

Zombie. They are just taking out their anger on anyone they perceive to be Pro-Buhari. It does not prove that they voted at all.

Zombie wan form logic.
