The Ummah is one, the family is one. The Shia Muslims may be a tiny fraction of the total Muslim population in Nigeria , but all lives being equal, that does not reduce their importance, at least not in the eyes of our Creator to whom even the commanders and chiefs of this and that Muslim country and military will have to give an accounting in the very near future...

The latest distressing news from Abuja, the capital of Nigeria: The sun has done down on Day Two of protests with many Nigerian Shia Muslims killed, their blood on somebody's hands. In the run up to the 19th February 2019 Presidential elections in Nigeria, are we to expect further escalations of violence with the Nigerian Army still firing live rounds into Shia Muslim protesters demanding the release of Sheikh Zakzaky, the leader of The Islamic Movement (Nigeria) ?
Nigeria: army kills Shia Muslim protesters in Abuja

Does Alhaji Atiku have anything to say about Buhari's handling of the matter?
