Carnage In Sokoto: Face The Bad People, Not Their Religion Or Region

By Reno Omokri

All of you saying Northern Muslims are bad and barbaric have forgotten that a Northern Fulani Muslim, Imam Abubakar Abdullahi, saved the lives of hundreds of Christians on June 23, 2018. Am I lying?

A few days ago, two, alleged, thieves were set ablaze and killed in Lagos. Please Google it. Till today, we still do not know if they were guilty.

How many of us blamed all Lagosians? Or Southerners? Many people even hailed the act on social media. Please do not take my word for it. Investigate what I am saying.

Three (3) suspected armed robbers were also set ablaze and killed in Calabar on April 30, 2022. Was that not a barbaric act? So, why did you not blame Southern Christians? After all, Calabar, where it happened, is a Christian enclave dating back to Mary Slessor in the 1800s.

Deborah’s murder over alleged blasphemy is condemnable. However, do not get carried away. Mind your utterances. Let us blame the perpetrators, not Muslims and Northerners.

There are good and bad people in every religion and region. Face the bad people, not their religion or region!

In addition to these,  and my opinion as sulaiman…

Some so called “unknown gunmen” are busy slaughtering people everyday and night.  We all know their region and the predominant religion of that area, and we have never blamed the act  on all those from Southeast or their religion.

Let’s try to update our knowledge to understand the difference between Islam and Muslims because I have gone past that low level of mixing Christianity and the Christians.

What I see here is a very high level of illiteracy, and public display of  bigotry and hatred for others.
