I'll tell you a story.
It was the year 2018 and the time of Ramadan, in Minna. I was volunteering with a community group called SISTERS CLOSET, run by Barr. Zahida and a host of other wonderful females.
We were called about a missing girl somewhere around Bosso.

Cannot afford basic hospital bills but with multiple wives. Systemic failure aside, a huge part of poverty in this part of the world is self imposed.

Imagine someone who is looking for any possibility to kill other people for religious or doctrinal differences, looking you in the face and saying you don't know Islam! Imagine the audacity.

There is no difference between someone who commits an act of terrorism, someone who takes pleasure in it, someone who supports it, and someone who tries to justify it. They are all terrorists.

Imagine slaughtering a person because they have a different opinion about a book you both believe in. Imagine rationalising this death, asking while his body is still warm and wet from his own blood, why he does not believe in the traditions you believe in.
There are many terrorists in that hellhole called Nigeria. The terrorists that are easy to identify are those with guns. But by far the larger number are the cowards, who hide behind those with guns and knives and throw questions to the bodies lying lifeless on the floor. How dare you not believe in Hadith they say to the dead, bleeding body. If only you did not say those things. I would not kill you myself but why did you go and get yourself killed they say. And those cowards, they are everywhere, in politics, in academia, in the civil service, in journalism, posing as normal human beings.

So because there r religious zealots in the south means we should all be zealots ? What does the extremism in the North have anything to do with South. Just focus on the problem.
BTW, u don’t have to dig into anything, the violence is everywhere. EVERYWHERE.

In 2005 in FUT Minna, same Ebira extremists started an all out war against Christians right there on Bosso campus. When they saw that Christians regrouped and mounted a formidable counterattack, they had to disperse.
No be today.

Didn’t start in 2014/15. As far back as the 80s some Ebira students dropped out of their universities and moved to a particular Middle East country to “learn the deen”. There’s an extremism issue in Kogi central.

it someone who doesn’t have tajweed and tauwheed, who isn’t fit to preach the word of Allah is now preaching around town. Then they go round brain Washing other members of community. Death to all kind of terrorist!
Meeeee.... Evu!
As a man and a dad, I will always say this: I still don’t believe there is any sane man who wakes up one day and becomes a deadbeat without reason. Men love their kids. These little beings always end up being our stress relievers. It’s like you’re sure they’re the only people you can always talk to, and their smiles melt our hearts.
But some people are so evil that they will make these men go through the worst, to the extent of hating themselves and their kids in the end, because it’s too hard to love those kids when you’re not on good terms with the mother. Yet, in some way, everyone always expects a man to stay calm and normal, send school fees, provide the basics, and show up for his kids. But do you know the price they pay for this?
Before you judge anyone, just know that you’re doing it because you’re not the one going through what they’re going through.
A good number of young Ebira women were also recruited by ISIS... an acquaintance's sister was lured? by God knows what.
Two years later she tried reconnecting and wanted to return. She already had a kid at the time. They eventually lost contact with her sha... sad
I was in FUTMinna when it happened.
And yes this is why I tell you people to avoid Ebira men.
Aside being egotistic and self-deluded, they can be radical.
Leave Ebira men alone.
