Boko Haram: Shehu of Borno declares 3-day fasting

Following the recent attacks Boko Haram members on the residents of Borno state, the Shehu of Borno, Alhaji Abubakar Ibn-Garbai, has directed all residents of the state, both Christians and Muslims, to embark on a 3-day fasting and prayer period to seek the face of God over the unfortunate incidents that have befallen the state in recent times. The fast is to start tomorrow, Tuesday 11th.
In a statement released today from the Shehu's office, the monarch said the prayer session is also to seek for God's mercy on the land.
"I am appealing to all residents of the state to observe a three-day fasting to seek Allah’s mercy toward ending the crisis facing us. I believe we should continue to seek for Allah’s help toward restoring peace in the state" the statement read.

Alhaji Abubakar Ibn-Garbai, STOP this nonsense. Do you read your Koran upside down, in the dark, by yourself? Who are you deceiving? If your children, flesh and blood were be massacred, would you be calling for fasting or demanding for cessation of the killings? You lot up north are deliberately and conveniently full of double standards. People are being massacred and all you can do is ask people to fast? Fast for WHAT? We want immediate and permanent STOP to the killings. Demand that your terrorist people put down their weapons. Fast all you want, but ask your fellow northerners to STOP the killings. YOU PEOPLE ARE EVIL, SOULLESS AND SHAMELESS. YOUR PEOPLE ARE MURDERING YOUR FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS AND YOU LOT THAT ARE SO CALLED LEADERS IN THE NORTH, IBB, ATIKU, EL RUFAI, SANUSI, AND CO, CONVENIENTLY TURNED A BLIND EYE. SHAME ON EACH ONE OF YOU. You lot, northern leaders MUST stop patronising us, please. You lot are lunching attacks and hiding under the skirt of Boko Haram. Everybody, including teenagers and even foreigners know what's going on and the people behind Boko Haram. We know. Nigeria is tired of TREACHEROUS northern leaders and Arewa. You tribalistic, rotten and corrupt gangsters in and from Northern Nigeria unleashed Boko Haram, the military wing of Arewa Consultative Forum (AFC), on Goodluck Jonathan's administration and on Nigerians just because Nigerians wised up and no longer want to be dominated by northerners. Northern leaders and northern politician are the most corrupt, evil and most despotic. Remember the tyranny of IBB? Remember the despotism of Abacha? Could any Southern Nigerian president or military leader try what those two filthy and evil, rotten creatures did to Nigeria and Nigerians? If you lot from up north owned the oil wells, by now, you lot would have Islamised the whole country (with the usual arrogance and impunity) or you lot would have created your own country. What Nigeria and Nigerians need is for Alhaji Abubakar Ibn-Garbai, including that rotten El Rufai, and all you 3-faced politicians and leaders from the north of Nigeria to stop the killings and to accept that the days that you lot will hijack power, dominate and lord over Nigeria is OVER, forever. You rotten creatures are sabotaging the Nigerian economy because a northerner is not in power. Stop fighting the battle which you cannot and will never win. Call off Boko Haram. Call off the INSURRECTION which you northerns, gangsters and criminals lunched on Nigeria. Boko Haram is an uprising which northern leaders lunched on Nigeria. 100% of Boko Haram "fighters" are illiterates. On their days off from slaughtering innocents souls, those dirty rotten scoundrels wear skirts and sodomise themselves on door knobs. Boko Haram, you people are cowards. Boko Haram, if you lot are as tough as you pretend to be, come out in an open field. I guarantee that the Nigerian army will exterminate each and everyone of you, and your leaders, within 30 minutes. We "took care" of Sanni Abacha, and by the grace of God almighty, Arewa Consultative Forum / northern leaders (aka Boko Haram) are already defeated. Northern leaders and northern based politicians are TRAITORS and should all be jailed for economic sabotage, treason and murder. Ask yourself, who are the members and leaders of Arewa Consultative Forum. Who supports Arewa Consultative Forum? Who funds Arewa Consultative Forum? What is the link, be it "technical" or financial, between Iran's Shiite leaders, Hezbollah (the Shi'a Islamic terrorist network "political party" based in Lebanon, Iran and Syria) and Arewa Consultative Forum? NORTHERN LEADERS (Arewa Consultative Forum) = BOKO HARAM. BOKO HARAM = NORTHERN LEADERS (Arewa Consultative Forum). BOKO HARAM IS BEING PILOTED BY NORTHERN LEADERS.

God bless this malam for coming out the way he did. This is not a "jonathan is too slow and needs to fix this" problem, its a religious problem. What all true muslims need to come and do is to clearly condemn this act of terrorism by their muslim brethren. The whole ISLAMIC religion needs a total overhaul and reassesment. Why are muslims always so angry and full of hate/doitmyway or die attitude?

'Right from the start, violence served as the engine of Islam under the command and supervision of Muhammad himself.
For one, the Prophet's son-in-law cousin, Ali, was titled the Commander of the Faithful for his unsurpassed feats of butchery. With the assistance of one or two of his thugs, Ali beheaded some seven hundred captives, most of them Jews, in only one day. This man, highly esteemed by the prophet of Allah, carried a sword that had its own name -- Zolfaghar.
Ali's portrait, holding the menacing sword, adorns the homes
and shops throughout Shiite lands. And Ali is revered by the Shiites at the same level as Muhammad.
On the Sunni side, Muhammad's co-revered is Umar, another unabashed killer of untold numbers. And of course, the choice weapon of these champions of the religion of peace was the sword. To this day, a sword adorns the flag of Saudi Arabia, the birthplace of the religion of peace.
And Islam, by the very nature of its doctrine, appeals to man's base nature. It promotes intolerance, hatred, discrimination'.

This is a great initiative by a traditional leader! God bless you, and yes I will join the prayers! God will show us how to uproot this menace of BH from our country, and prayers will unite us as a people. We are all one, after all!

Kemikal you are brilliant!! Gosh.. U try.. As for this yeye shehu of borno.. How can u instigate fasting and prayers for a troubled state without any declared act of security for your people.. Your state is empty and u say fasting and prayers is the key? We all know you northern leaders are masterminds of these evil brainless monsters who demand ransom every month and claim not to be priced cheap!! Pls do more than starving yourselves and take action. I don't have anything against islam but please don't think Boko Haram acts will stop when the northern people come in to power.. That's if they do.. Once again hailings to Kemikal..

U all r too judgemental, u will all b shocked dt most of these Boko Haram bois may make Heaven n most of u criticising them may not, as far as u accept ur sins n beg God for His forgivness sincerly, He will, instead of laughing @ pple nw n pointing accusing fingers, y nt seek Gods peace n ask Christ Jesus to take contrrol of the situation in d country
I dnt think that's too much to ask, even if Christian were killed in d past, nt evry Muslim ws in support of it, n nw dt d music has changed, nt every Christian enjoys it, so let's pls learn to b our brothers keepers.
Let identify dt wch unites us @ dis tym n nt dt wch divides us

They should sit down n wait for GEJ to stop boko haram knowing fully well that it is the muslim cleric that has the power to stop it.

Manal said...

I thought christianity preached against judging others and bearing false witness? So why are christains quick to attack Islam but when a Christain does something negative they are quick to say 'that person cannot be a christain' who told y'all that the so called boko haram are muslims? As for those who are wishing or praying for Islam to be banned, please stop visiting countries like Dubai o! Also tell your Christain brothers and sisters to stop visiting Dubai and to resign from their mouth watering oil company jobs in Arab countries ie Aramco. Let them come back home. Anon giving the histroy of Ali (RA) please get your facts straight!!! And as for those who feel they can HURL INSULTS! Bring it on I am soooooo ready to take on any kinda 'marrrafakkkar' a je zuwa mahaukaci ya hau kura!!!!

Try and be civil. Dubai is built on rational thinking and not extremism. So you cannot compare Dubai with what you guys are doing here. One suicide bomb in Dubai and the place is finished. You guys destroy your homes just to go and relax in Dubai. God will fish you all out. Fatalists!!!!!

Anon 11:54, it is very obvious that you do not have a brain!!! If you are indeed current as you pretend to be, you would have known that right from the onset, boko haram killed both muslims and christains. Or are you not aware that boko haram was in existance right from Yar adua's era and he gave the order that they should be mowed down. Dokpemu na hin you be!!! Wawa matsiyaci. Mr dubai was built on rational thinking, you don't even get the drift of this gist as I can see. The issue is Islam, and dubai is an islamic country so---------fill in the blank spaces or better still go through all the comments so as to understand what's being discussed. You talk like you are starving how can anyone destroy their homes just to go relax elsewhere? So what will the person come back to? And God will equally judge you for bearing false witness and judging others wrongly! Wawa matsiyaci!!! Don't forget to tell your fellow christains to resign their plum oil jobs in qatar, jordan, oman, dubai and come back home o!!! Enheen!!!
