On August 1, 2007, I saw what shocked my humanity to its foundations. Please remember this date (August 1 2007) and put it on your Calendar. Political and religion capitals remain crucial and demands separate operationalities for it to take off effectively. There exist clear and imminent danger when religious-imperialism and dominance over others remains the agenda. Religious imperialism engineered with the intent to grab-land, takeover resources, etc, generally trigger territorial conflicts. The current militarization of Igwe-Ocha and its territorial-waters and borders will spell disaster—if, Igbo, Ijaw, Ibibio and Ogoni nations’ et al rejects effort at collectivism for her survival. Without a stratagem, it is almost impossible to confront today’s institutional threats against our peoples. Today’s Islamic-military occupation of Igwe-Ocha and elsewhere is well orchestrated abi-n-itio. It’s earmarked primarily against Igbo-Nation and its neighbors in general. The gate-way for eastern import and export is being militarized—under (concealed religious-imperialism) supposedly in a democracy. These are dangerous times.  

I do not prophecy for the entity called Nigeria ; however, this writer retains some gifts of prophecy for his family. Now that’s not open for conversation. This generation must embrace Ancient Igbo-Israelism—love for God to starve-off her extinction from the planet-earth. Igbo, Ijaw, Ibibio, Ogoni, etc, must quickly return to the God of Abraham, God of Isaac and God of Jacob and live or perish in their SINS.

One inquiry is: Is Igbo, etc, better Christian today than they were in early 60s and/or post-Civil War Era? Of-course NOT! Igbo-Nation and its neighbors must re-evaluate self, look-out for religious-imperialism and economic hegemony by foreigners inside her shores. The purported attempt at restoring PEACE in Igwe-Ocha and elsewhere is dishonest and false.  The truth is that Islamic fundamentalists triggered the conflict[s] and now pretends to resolve the problem it created for decades. Northern caliphate (Sokoto & Kano)—is training, strategizing and positioning it-self in an effort to regain her lost control over oil-deposits they missed for eight (8) years under rogue-administration led by Obasanjo. Backed with her al Qaeda-connections, with strong-returnees making its way back from Iraq-war and elsewhere buttresses these postulations—of clear and imminent danger that we face today.  

It is important to organize and establish every needful thing against these upcoming uncertainties including war. Righteousness not titillation and tastelessness will facilitate and stimulate our security at this time. What did you see?  I saw Igbo-Nation and her neighbors, men and women, children and old peoples hooded in Arab—regalia. Yes all of them hooded in Mecca regalia! None escaped Arab-religious-imperialism and dominance. My eyes opened to melancholy and I was confounded.  Could this be imaginary, fantasy and or realities et al? I cannot tell. But I saw what I saw. Period! Those who resisted were brutally wasted in cold-blood.  Igbo, Ijaw, Ibibio, Ogoni, etc—must realize that this generation is at war against principalities and powers of this generation and must wisen up. As repository of our heritage, it must prioritize intelligently or be destroyed in your iniquities.  The upcoming war cannot be won by state-of-the-art digitalized weaponry only, but by spirituality and virtuous-based capital. 

Defensive mechanism is defeatism. Demonstrated offensive delivery-system, effective strategy, characterized by readiness and preparedness at every turn is strategic. The world is becoming increasingly dangerous everyday; danger that is multiplying in minutes and seconds to the point that one's security is not guaranteed. As a chosen generation, you must not anger the Living God, Otherwise. This generation must cleanse its territorial borders free of robbers, corruption, 419ners and political-mosques, etc, to become secure. His justice and mercy will visit you and you will withstand foreign and domestic interventionists in your own lands. Please invest and consume wisely.

It is egregious that Nigeria-State consumption capacity is higher than its production capacity. If a nation consumption runs higher that her production-out-put, that’s recipe to inflation and depression. In time, prioritizing our misplaced intellectual and spiritual capitals to establishing effective economic-production, balanced purchasing-power, and actionable economic statistics will leverage her, restore your relevance and position you as a potential competitor at the global market economy.

Igbo-Nation and its neighbors cannot say because the Islamic-based North patterned its existence some-way, she must emulate her—or, because Yoruba-Nation chooses destructive-bureaucracy and opportunism, it must follow a destructive-route and parochialism. That would be foolish. We have different destiny! The truth is that our manifest destiny cannot be paralleled with those of other nations-states. Community-based constitutional republicanism is idealistic and works for our survival. All that we ask for, is a piece of land we can call ours especially, if, the current arrangement will not allow equal-playing field for all. The truth is—as long as religious, political-economic-imperialism persists, liberation movements will exist. Below is an excerpt of communication in a piece I dispatched to Maazi Odera in another communication highway that is tainted with institutional hypocrisy, political-demagoguery, a network that lacks popular constitutionalism by application:  

“Maazi Odera –……………… it’s well with all that stand for truth; truth is your greatest security and greatest security to whoever stand-by it everyday. When you go to bed it allows and gives you recompense and relief because you did your best everyday. Conversely, to all dictatorial regimes out there in different out-fit go to bed thinking geez what have I done; they are usually restlessly incapacitated. Follow your instinct….it’s your greatest undaunted-self that no man can destroy. As they play the script from their masters in Abuja and elsewhere, evil-doers shall surely be utterly wasted at the right time…. Maazi your uncompromising stands on current and past political demographics represents your true spirit. I encourage you do not be intimidatedby these………..and their co-travelers……..The fact remains that we live in ever changing world where no one can actually and truthfully explain the direction of the universe, especially with disturbing corruption in various platforms of human-endeavors. Stay strong as your undeviating spirit remains an ensign to young and old, bond and free; Jews and gentiles alike. ………………whatever truth your instinct moves you to
share, share. …………. Freedom and liberties remains a-universally recognized fundamental human rights. God bless.” CUO New-York.

Religious freedom and economic freedom, liberties and other freedoms cannot be imposed by foreign intervention. Liberation movement must be locally engineered, with elements of nationalism by the citizenry for it to succeed. Have you wondered what's Arabs motivation in blowing themselves up is?  Have we wondered the impact of pornography and other graphic materials from United States to her trading partners, her overseas satellite-states and markets? How about the rational of being given twelve (12) virgins in Heaven if one dies in “holy wars”? I ask which Heaven?  Of-course we know that the war in Iraq and Afghanistan is about Oil, drugs and land rather than the projected terrorism. Reports show that Iraq was not connected to 9/11 attacks in New York , Pennsylvania and Washington D.C.   By application, there is much injustice in the world today against defenseless world’s peoples to triggers evil-commitments. 

In Nigeria , Arab-North is monitoring the insurgencies and duplicitous militia-groups in the Gulf-Peninsula—so are we. Nigeria was named by Osama Bin-Laden as an Islamic nation in one of his taped-broadcasts from his hide-outs, and we said nothing. Locally, there exist Shariah-Edicts or operable Shariah-constitutional in Twelve [12] Northern States of Nigeria . There are also fighters from Sokoto and Kano States that joined Bin-Laden Islamic movement. Today we have al Qaeda-returnees from Iraq and elsewhere trickling in back into the country called Nigeria .Given this circumstance, Arab-North is finalizing and positioning its political machines toward total Islamization of the entire country called Nigeria . Whether you are a Hebrew or Christian automatically makes you an infidel that must be killed, killed because you resists Islamic agenda—i.e. religious imperialism. 

In the 90s, Commodore Ebitu Ukiwe [Rtd] was almost sent to his untimely death by Babangida and his gang for questioning the secrecy that surrounded the inclusion of Nigeria-State into Organization of Islamic Countries [IOC], without clear authorization of the Armed Forces Ruling Council [AFRC] then. Gideon Okra’s Coup during that era blinded Babangida into confusion and fear that, made him move in at the uncompleted Aso-Villa, the New Federal Capital Territory (FCT). At that time Ukiwe was still in Lagos —but was ordered to stand salute at October 1^st Independence Day parade in Abuja by Babangida. Yet there exists unresolved Ukiwe/Abacha power-play over who is authentic number two [2] man in the country, Ukiwe saw the hand writings on the wall refused Abuja salute, quietly resigned and honorably returned to Abriba his home town. Also Police Commissioner (PRO) Alozie Ogumgbuaja’s life was also on the line because he exposed Babangida and his cronies. Ogumgbuaja highlighted the endemic laziness and corruption within army, demanded that military-personals be deployed to mechanized agro-system to redirect and de-socialize their psyche away from repetitive military- Coups, etc.

In the 80s, Gideon Akaluka was beheaded by Arab-nationalists in Kano-State, for allegedly desecrating Koran and we said nothing about it. Till date there is no conclusive-investigative-report of that horrible killing and other killings. From 1945 till 2007 it is killing festivals for them and as business as usual.  But things have changed as self-defense becomes necessary to repel evil-demagoguery of evil-doers. All lives are equal, made sacred and pure by their Maker. 

It is clear therefore, that the North has never hidden its intentions of Islamizing the estate called Nigeria . This effort is geared toward controlling and maximizing war spoils of the civil-war (1967-1970)—and pillaging petro-dollars from the East. Over time, we have seen our oil-territorial borders fraudulently twisted, shifted to disparage Igbo-Nation. We are therefore, confronted to choose between religious-imperialism and survival. North has opted for the latter at the expense of other faithful nations-states in the country called Nigeria . There are many underlying reasons behind Islamists idealism and motivations, that will be for another time.

From historical trends—religious, political, and economic expansionism have resulted into conflicting territorial claims, imperialistic rivalries, and destructive nationalism and wars. North therefore believes unless what she called “positive dictatorship” (another name for religious-imperialism) it will whither and die especially, knowing that she barely produces anything and has zero-industrialism organically. Maazi Chinweizu’s piece on Khartoum ’s [Darfur] crisis pointedly discussed the pogrom against Darfur population by Khartoum ’s Arabization—expansionism, an attempt to grab Oil-rich Darfur for herself. In the piece: “Garveyism Not Continentalism Is What Africa Need” is sort of flawed argument since they reflected different ideological periods of time. One time for Black-America in Americas and the other period for—“Black-Africans” that falls-short of 2007 economic demographics of today. However, there is something we can learn from his piece. I agree with him that we have to act locally before we act continentally a concept that is the purpose of this piece. More-so, industrialism and capitalism today appears to be dominated by Western Europe , North-America & Japan, while other developing industrializations and countries with economies in transition appear directionless in today's economic mobility. In my view, to become a global-competitor, your industrial productivity has to go through three (3) Stages of economic-processes indigenously:- I) Period of crudity; II) refinement; and III) sophistication-stage in industrialization. This is pertinent when reviewing negritude civilization or “black-Afrikka” modernity as-far-as industrialization explanations go. For example, present day Egyptians are not true-Egyptians. They are Islamic-Invaders or Arab- expansionists. True-Egyptians are Nubians, who according to reports is almost extinct and fatiqued at the country-side. This is a replica of what Europeans did to Native-Americans in the United States , etc. Arabs therefore is doing what other imperial powers do--control and steal. Since Igbo-Nation sit on Oil-deposits claimed by Nigeria-State, they are by proxy—justifiably targeted by Islamic-fundamentalists from the North. Case closed!

Another reason for Igbo vulnerability is her Hebrew-Connections. Igbo-Nation and her kinsmen and kinswomen in the South or East have strong ties to Jewish-State for generation dating back to 1500s or as early as 2^nd and 3^rd century B.C. Arab-Islamists (sons of Ishmael) hate anything Israel because of the question of Jerusalem and Isaac chosen ahead of Ishmael his elder brother out of wedlock. It is common-sense that Igbo-Israelism and connections puts her in conflicts vis-à-vis dangerous and jealous Islamic-North [See Articles on: We Are Hebrews, First-Born, and Inheritance of God: What Are You & What Is Your Inheritance?Part I -IV]. Igbo-Nation is Israel and Israel is Igbo. Going by that analysis, does that mean that Igbo has to abandon its oil-deposits to Yoruba-Nation and Arewa-Nation because it lost the first war [1967-1970]?  Of-course NO! Igbo-Nation must either fight for her survival or be enslaved or die.

In 2007, defensive mechanism is defeatism and unacceptable. People should erase it from their head & minds that Igbo-nationals are in government of today. That’s camouflage and sheer falsehood.  The likes of Maduekwe—“Mr. Inconsequential”—or Chukwuma Soludo, etc, do not represent Igbo-nationalism. These sons and daughters of Igbo-extraction represent their individual survivals—while Igbo-Nation seeks collective survival not individual survival. Igbo-nation and her neighbors have the substantive options to empirically and clearly showcase readiness and preparedness for the upcoming hostilities. At the turn of 21^st century, pre-emptive actions rather than defensive strikes against the enemy is strategic and within the territory. In short, it is criminal to be lawful in a lawless society. It is treachery and betrayal to watch from the sideline as these madmen murder our sons, women, children and old peoples. History will not forgive us if we fail to show a sense of urgency in the face of evil. Your prophets’ prophecy PEACE, PEACE when there is no PEACE. And said the Lord said when the Lord spoke to them not.

It is important to reiterate that in the 80s, Gideon Akaluka was beheaded and the Arabs danced with his head in Kano Streets—Igbo, Ijaw, Ogoni Ibibio, etc, did nothing. In 1995, they hanged Ken Saro-Wiwa and Ogoni nine (9)—Igbo, Ijaw, Ogoni, Ibibio did nothing. When MEND establishment kidnapped women and children in exchange for millions of petro-dollars from oil-multinationals—Igbo, Ijaw, Ibibio and Ogoni did nothing. When seven (7) to seven (7) curfew was imposed with over eighty (80) persons killed at the middle of military hostilities on both sides of the confrontations by aliens in Igwe-Ocha—Igbo, Ijaw, Ibibio and Ogoni, etc did nothing. Obasanjo stole over 80 billions of petro-dollars worth of Access & Liquid Adedibu applauded, Andy Uba & Chris Uba danced and celebrated in public square. Unless ye nations repent and turn to God of Abraham you shall surely see worse days ahead of you. Military response will not bring you needed peace and freedom away from servitude under Arab-nationalism as-long-as you remain corrupt. Elder statesmen listen up as you put you head in the sand like oustritch: your criminal silences in the face of evil, in the face of harlots’ houses, betray you—it will never bring you PEACE. Rather it will bring blood and horror unto you and your families. Your quietness is questionable and indeed an act of treachery over our bloods that is wasted and littered in the streets of Igwe-Nga and elsewhere. 

How long shall we suffer under this fiscal irresponsibility and non-accountability of that which is ours? There exists illegitimate corrupt administration that fraudulently turns-over power to another corporate-corrupt illegitimate administration. Yes another inaugurated illegitimacy found in Yar’Adua Presidency is it. At what time do we say ENOUGH is ENOUGH? These institutional aberrations have no end in sight. We say enough. Igbo-lands must be to Igbo? Time indeed is running out for these crooks. In this era of lawlessness and unconstitutional republicanism we have to stand for something and mean it. My August 1 2007 vision and/or report places former Eastern-region under siege to Arab-religious imperialism. I am afraid there is vast iniquity and abomination in Igbo-land and elsewhere today than any other time. Our land is pre-occupied with adultery, harlot houses, pornography, and graphic materials, etc. If Igbo refuses to eschew their wicked-ways, it will lead to their utter destruction, that strangers will point at and hiss in disbelief. If you fail to identify with Chukwu-abiama (God of Abraham) through Christ your punishment will be greater than those of other nations-states because He chose you first.  

We demand that all Political-Mosques-structures by former accidental Governor of Abia-State, Orji Kalu be destroyed immediately. I call on Great Ngwa-land particularly Enyimba-city and its Million-Strong to pull-down these politically motivated Mosques in our shores without delays. They were built without making necessary payments for the land-space. Only fools like Idiotic Orji Kalu plays politics with the enemies of God. He shall surely pay for his crimes against the land. In alternative, we demand that these political-Mosques and their Patrons make lawful payments to the appropriate authorities with Aba-Local Government Authority & Council. Our data-statistic shows that Churches in the North for example in Kano, Maiduguri etc, were built and followed appropriate laws of Land Acquisition instrument and funded by the Church institutions here-to-for constituted. They made these payments through their membership contributions and tithing.

The danger and era of Islamic expansionism and imperialism is real and must be resisted. Our greatest security is righteousness uncompromisingly anchored in virtuousness. Truth is self-evident. We must not by any degree of alliance compromise this report of clear and eminent danger against our peoples today. It is our duty and responsibility to repudiate the militarization and Islamization of Igwe-Ocha and elsewhere. The current seven (7) to seven (7) curfew in Igwe-Ocha is an occupation by Islamic-imperialists that must be repelled and rejected before it unleashes its evil-intentions on mankind. These sieges will not stand. Our ancestor held British to a stand-still despite its superior-naval powers—until it deployed paramount-chiefs locally. We must not subscribe to foreign occupation of lands because it is an abomination. What we need today is territorial freedom to govern ourselves and not territorial imperialism. Evil-privatization and liberalization and her gate-keepers like Obasanjo and Yar’Adua has no business in our lands. They must be made to leave immediately. They must be dismissed with best speedy convenience. Their crass and tastelessness have contributed to the heap of ruination and sufferings of our population across the board. Their activities are crimes against humanity and crimes against defenseless people. Rogue-multinationals must follow them and leave immediately, too. We face ecological disasters, destruction of our aqua-systems, exposing our children—old and young peoples to the Green-Houses and global warming, these by all standards even by UN standard are crimes against humanity. Something has to give. 

Finally with skills, longevity and strong determination—out of relative obscurity this generation must fulfill its mission—a mission of attrition. Equipped with these tools, knowing that unmerited suffering is redemptive our spirit is upbeat! To the Arab-fundamentalists, know ye that your quest for religious-imperialism, economic hegemony and survival will meet its waterloo. We unequivocally and expressly declare these enemies as personal non-grata within our borders. Be warned and know that as terrorist you will be distressed. You must know that ( Khartoum ) Darfur ’s operational gravity and frequency in 2007 is substantially different in measure and intensity outside her shores. Our struggle for freedom, religious-freedom and self-determination in the face of unprovoked aggressions and hostilities will not be defeated.

CHECK BEFORE DELIVERY

On August 1, 2007, I saw what shocked my humanity to ...Read the full article.

overdryv  # 2 | 30.08.2007 08:31

I noticed people tend to ignore this author in the past but there is new trend now going on in Nigeria. Southern women who are christians throw clothes around themselves before any meeting with Yaradua or his wife. It reminds me of Christian Amanpour of CNN who when on a visit to Iran must wear a head scalf. Are these women doing this out of their own volition and they are being prod to dress that way? They are certain signals which are coming out of Yaradua's regime that points to systematic islamization. Recently, some women were arrested in Lagos for indecent dressing and in the past we have seen some states in the south trying to ban wearing of trousers to the government house by women. In a nation where survival is utmost in people's mind, it doesnt matter even if southern women dress as masquerades as long as they get financial inducement. There is also this news that students in Kano have been given a dress code that is binding. People might have the shallow view that Yaradua would not go to that extent but was he not one of the former governors who implemented Sharia and is Yaradua a Fulani, not implementing an arab agenda? We could only ignore him to our own peril. There are many subtle ways he could coerce the south to join Sharia. One way is the use of the police which he heads. It only takes an directive to the state's CP to deal with erring women.The governors have no say. The worst is yet to come.

RAYNOSA  # 3 | 30.08.2007 08:51

I HATE TO SAY THIS BUT INVIEW OF THE WRITERS AND OVERDRYV'S OBSERVATIONS I CAN BEGIN TO THINK "SOLUDOS SIN IS RE-DESIGNING THE NAIRA WITHOUT THE ARABIC INSCRIPTIONS" THE REASONABLE THING ABOUT THIS ARTICLE IS THAT IT IS VERY FOOLISH AND STUPID FOR THE SOUTHERN GOVERNORS TO TOW THE LINE OF CORRUPTION.

tonsoyo  # 4 | 30.08.2007 09:21

There are some truism in this harbinger of doom's delivery here. We must be vigilant.

“Attempts to Islamize the West cannot be denied, making it clear that Europe’s Christian roots are under threat from a surging Islam” - Msgr. Georg Ganswein, private secretary of Pope Benedict XVI Let me simply say that this writer has written again to remind us of the clear and present danger that is the northern Islamic north of Nigeria, a region that now controls the centre of government of the country. Olusegun Obasanjo had earlier described Umar Yar-Adua as a moderate Muslim, and we all know how right OBJ can be on many things! The agenda of the Islamic population in any part of the world is to convert (Islamize) the other regions forcefully, they seldom take prisoners. Harmony only works for Islam if they are outnumbered; it has been tested in many regions of the world! A nation like Nigeria, with its gullible, “scared to die”, unwilling to fight for change population can easily be the best case for islamization. While we sleep the forces of 13th century evil religion like Islam rages on, changing laws is a secular society, damning the consequences while willing to main, kill and destroy to get their way in a Mohammedan fashion typical of the Stone Age. Islam has never respected anything except an equal and opposite reaction, typical of the George Bush fashion. Eye for an eye I say and let these backward miscreants have it with no holds barred. Some say they are not all like that; some say there are educated ones with moderate thinking intelligentsia, some say there are those Muslims who fight to ensure secularism in the societies. But please tell me how many more people like Colonel Abubakar Dangiwa Umar the north has, why do they not all speak out in the face of such injustice?

Sincerely speaking, this writer is manifesting paranoid delusion with religious content. He is hallucinating and seems to have some over valued ideas. On a more serious note, he should be guilty of inciting Nigerian communites against each other. This sort of things should not be allowed in the village especially at a time when we are trying to build some trust in each other. The picture he painted here is that of Nigeria in the 80's when we are yet to face reality about our co-existence which is unlike what is obtainable today. I am of the opinion that all hands should be on deck at this moment to make Nigeria great again. This is not the time for somebody to start telling a part of the community to pull a mosque down somewhere when we all blame those perpetrating such act in other part of the country. This writer should be ignored for all its worth. This is an opinion that stands to be controverted.

"The agenda of the Islamic population in any part of the world is to convert (Islamize) the other regions forcefully, they seldom take prisoners. Harmony only works for Islam if they are outnumbered; it has been tested in many regions of the world!" Hi Oghre, If you don't mind, can you cite an example of a place where an "Islamic population in any part of the World tried to convert other regions forcefully".

Oghre  # 8 | 30.08.2007 10:24

=Tunde meee;203771>"The agenda of the Islamic population in any part of the world is to convert (Islamize) the other regions forcefully, they seldom take prisoners.

Hi Oghre, If you don't mind, can you cite an example of a place where an "Islamic population in any part of the World tried to convert other regions forcefully". Tunde meee, Sir, I read your piece and thank you on behalf of the author I don’t know if you are a Muslim, in which case you will choose to totally ignore what the author wrote or maybe you are that special Nigerian, you know the type that lives for the sake of existence in the hope that all will be well someday. The type that made it possible for Nigeria to be ruled by a small cabal or motor park-type touts, and the Dane gun and cutlass class If you are not a Muslim then surely you have missed the plot, the essence, and the fura where there is no nono of this article! Sir please I beg you biko before you comment on such discussions in future to go read the Nigerian constitution (even in bits) While you are there find out about secularism, the Hausa/Fulani hegemony, and the islamization of worldwide Christian societies since the decline of the Islamic crusades. While you are there please find out why Islamic northern Nigeria is now governed using both the Nigerian constitution and the Koran, please enquire about the HISBAH, an Islamic police force with more powers than the assigned commissioner of police from force headquarters. Please read about local and international funding of terrorist groups in Northern Nigeria, with Arab countries in the Middle East being the biggest donors, like they are doing in Sudan. Please find out about silence, silence of the Northern Islamic leaderships, from sultan to Emir, political leaders and religious mullahs. Find out why Obasanjo caved in to this massive force under pressure threatening to upstage the very foundations of Nigeria. Please read the reports on extremism in Nigeria, written both locally and internationally, find out why Nigeria is being considered an axis of terror and fundamentalism. Please find out why in Kano and Zamfara Christian pupils now have to wear veils regardless of whether they are Christian, Muslim or animists. Please find out how many people have been killed using both northern Muslim miscreants and imported Niger republic Janjaweeds. While you are there do a body count and find out the perpetrators of this genocide. That is enough for your home work, when you are done I will give you more study material to continue the education. Ben Oghre Arhus, Denmark

Nice one Raynosa, the Islamic north is longing for the return of arabic inscriptions on the naira. Like you said, if he had attempted that, we would not be hearing of acting outside his constitutional domain. This is one landmark achievement of Obj. Its not all gloom and doom about Obj after all.

Tunde meee  # 10 | 30.08.2007 10:57

Hello Mr. Oghre, Thanks for the home work which I belief is quite academical. You seem to have evaded the question which I asked you and that is about your statement where you said Muslim seeks to convert others to Islam by force world over. Unfortunately you were unable to give an example to support this. There are Quasi religious uprising in different places all over the world at present, Phillipines, Iraq, Afganistan, Palestine, Chenchya to mention but a few. Which of this was for the forceful conversion of others to Islam. Or was it the murder of over a million muslims in Bosnia about a decade ago for no other reason but being a muslim. Now lets talk Nigeria, from the word go, Sharia was provided for in our Nations constitution and it is no more controversial that this has never been applied to any one except a muslim. I really don't understand your arguement about this. In Nigeria Constitution, there is a provision for freedom of worship and association which has not been tampered with. That a group of peolpe (Muslims in this case) prefers to be adjudicated according to there religious belief should not be of any concern to you and I as long as our fundamental right is not affected. It is only a newspaper event that non muslims were asked to dress like muslims, I am not saying some overzealous security agent couldn't have done this in one or two cases but this has not been an official statement of any of our states. I have christian friends in Zamfara state who have never been molested since the introduction of this 'political sharia'. Lets take sentiment out of our judgement, let us bring in some reality and stop chasing shadows. Even the writer of the above piece acknowledged the fact America went to Iraq for no noble reason but this was hailed by you only because the people that were been murdered happen to be Muslims.
