MY THOUGHTS
First of all, I feel sorry for the families of those who have lost loved ones during this crisis. No human life is superior to the other and no religion orders the killing of innocents.
I think the way our media is reporting this sad events is not helping matters. The crisis is not a religions one The Fulanis didnt attack the people of Berom because they are not muslims. They didnt way they wanted to Islam there. The reason they attacked them is clear to everyone and their spokesperson even said it to the media that they are retaliating for their over 20,000 cattles killed by the Berom people. Now whether that is a silly or valid reason, i dont care now cos thats a discussion for another day.
My problem is that we are doing ourselves alot of harm by potraying this as a religious crisis and i blame the media for that. Why cant the fulanis be attacked as a tribe. . .? Why must it be ISLAM that will come up anytime the hausas or the fulanis are in crisis. . when the underlying cause of the whole wahala is not anywhere near religion. . .?
The effect of this is that non muslims who are not logical in their thinking or have no access to the real news start to have “unnessecary” reservations for the faith called ISLAM. Hatred for muslims, their beliefs, etc will loom in their minds. Instead of hating the real perpetrators of the evil acts, they begin to hate those in the same faith with them. . .Its sad. . .!
Nigeria is becoming something else. . .it seems we are all tired of the Lord lugard’s architectural work and want to draw our own. Even though I have never been a supporter of that belief, a part of my brain does. . .!
WHO I BLAME
I blame the FG. . .I know it might sound weired but its the FG i blame. . . They cannot tell Nigerians that there were no security reports before all these attacks. . .DOnt we have trained experts who conduct due diligence and security investigations into stuffs like this? RIght from the first crisis, there should have been ears on the ground to checkmate further developments of underground preparations on both sides.
Nigeria is failing!!!!!
SOLUTION
Sincerely i dont know. . .anyone with suggestions can come up with it but “oro ilu yi ti su mi”
FINAL WORD
Lets report events as they are. . .Call the Fulanis or Hausas when you need to and Call them Muslims when you need to. Attack their tribes and not their religion cos ISLAM CONDEMNS THE KILLINGS OF INNOCENTS AND NON COMBATANTS!!! I am a muslim and i just feel sad when i read in the dailies that muslims are killing people in Jos. .
ISLAM CONDEMNS THE KILLINGS OF INNOCENTS AND NON COMBATANTS!!!
so tell me what ISLAM condones?
According to the Qur’an:
“Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah. Those who follow him are merciful to one another, but ruthless to unbelievers” Surah 48:29. “Kill the Mushrikun (unbelievers) wherever you find them, and capture them and besiege them, and lie in wait for them in each and every ambush…” Surah 9:5. Also see Surah 9:29: “Fight against such of those who have been given the Scripture (Christians & Jews) as believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, and forbid not that which Allah hath forbidden by His messenger, and follow not the Religion of Truth, until they pay the tribute readily, being brought low.”
