    Without the Sultan of Sokoto,Alhajji Sa'ad Abubakar using the occasion to openly pronounce a FATWAH on the Boko Haram sect,the communique red to the press by Alhaji Babangida Aliyu is nothing but a hogwash. They the muslims are good at dissembling and that is a part and parcel of Islamic stratagem.In Quran Sura 3.28 muslims are forbidden from befriending the infidels and when confronted with them to dissemble. The Islamic North might have to borrow a leaf from the Communist China.The Chinese limited themselves to one child a couple.Let the Hausa/Fulanis limit themselves to one-man-one-woman.They have been a burden to our Commonwealth for too long and that has a negative impact on our collective development as a nation.The Northern leaders have consistently and´for decades looted the proceeds of our Southern resources not for the benefit of the Northern masses.They are muslims and muslims are bereft of morality.This griinding poverty all over the nation is the making of Northern Islamic leaders.It all started with IBB and ended with Abdulsalami Abubakar who institutionalized corruption with a writ,the so called Constitution he handed down to Nigerians.The Abokis have to watch out.The killing of hard working and innocent Igbos by muslim terrorists who despise them must be stopped immediately.We Igbos are no cowards and might soon or later be forced to fight back and the entire nation will be on our side.

    Islam is a clear and an all-encompassing religion that is why every aspect of human life is catered for. Marriage being the only LEGiTIMATE way of procurement is categorized and explained (rights and responsibilities) in the Glorious Qur'an Chapter 4, 65 and many other Chapters. Talking about polygamy, we Muslims learnt polygamy from king Solomon the wise. "And he (Solomon) had 700 wives and 300 hundred concubines......" 1 Kings 11:3.‎ And from Abraham, the friend of God "Then again Abraham took a wife (apart from Hagar) and her name was Keturah" Gen. 25:1

    Decency in Christianity?!‎

    David shamelessly danced naked. 2 Sam.6:20

    Noah got drunk and laid naked. Gen.9:21.

    Incest between Tamar and her father-in-law. According to Gen.38:15-13 and Matt 1:3 Jesus the Savior himself DESCENDED from this ignoble union. God forbid! Lot impregnated his two daughters. Gen.9:33-35.

    All the above mentioned obnoxious acts are taught in the Bible; 2Timothy 3:16 says "All scripture, inspired of God, is profitable to teach, to reprove, to correct...." we see no correction or reproof that followed the above mentioned abominable acts hence, they are been taught since a whole savior is found thanks to the Tamar's incest with her father-in-law! If these are the priests, God bless the congregation!

    Those who believe in this reservoir of obscenity as the divine guidance are really beguiled as Paul himself confessed . He Says "But be it so, I did not burden you; nevertheses, being crafty I CAUGHT YOU WITH GUILE" 2 Cor.12:16.

    The traditional and religious leaders of the North need to come out boldly and pronounce a FATWAH on Boko Haram if any meaningful progress is expected on the ground. The innocent persons killed by Boko Haram have exceeded the 1000 mark. Are we waiting for it to reach the 10000 mark now before serious action is taken? In today's world, genocide and crime against humanity are qualified much easily. It will be fatal if the Northern caucus waits until Boko Haram's crimes qualify as crime against humanity. The entire leadership of the North will be co-defendants in the Hague in such a case. A stitch in time saves nine.

    It will be a great development if anobody, I mean anybody no matter his position, who has a hand in these cold-blooded killings will be held to account, and if found guilty, he should be sent to the gallows. None is above the law! Unfortunately Nigeria is governed by proxy through a puppet crab doctor.

    I think and stand to be corrected that crisis in which 10,000 people lost their precious lives is qualified as a genocide especially when the great majority of the victims belong to a particular race, tribe, clan or creed.

    Jos crisis has been ignored for the reason I still fail to come to term with. Frankly speaking, Jos crisis has reached genocide level long ago and I think many of the killings that are taking place now are inspired by those in Jos. My reason is that under the Nigeria's constitution denying any part section of the constitution amounts to treason. Governor Jonah Jang and his predecessor Dariye have orchestrated the killings and ejection of fellow Nigerians, this in stark collision with the right to residence in every part of the nation. Therefore, Boko Haram and Jonah Jang are all terrorists and have to be dealt with justly and squarely.
