Hausa Boys Attack Igbo Chemist In Ketu Lagos For Writing Blasphemous Words On Islamic Magazine
September 6, 2016 – Igbo Chemist Escapes Death As Hausa Boys Attack His Pharmacy Shop In Ketu Lagos Over Blasphemy
Police Prevents Religious War As Hausa Boys Attack Igbo Chemist In Ketu Lagos For Writing Blasphemous Words On Islamic Magazine
A chemist identified as Emmanuel Emeka escaped death on Sunday after some angry Hausa youths stormed his shop with dangerous weapons.
According to eyewitnesses, Mr Emeka was accused of writing a blasphemous word against Allah on an Islamic magazine which triggered the anger of an Hausa man that later informed his fellow Hausa people.
They came back in mass to kill Emeka but the timely intervention of police officials on patrol prevented the northerners from carrying out a similar jungle justice that was done in Kano and other Northern states a while back.
Eyewitnesses said police intervention prevented a bloody religious fight between Christians and Muslims in Ketu around 9pm on Sunday as many Lagosians were determined to deal with the northerners.
The Igbo chemist was kept in Police Custody while his shop was also prevented from destruction.
Police reportedly arrested some of the blood-thirsty youths who refused to give up on their revenge mission.

CHRISTIANS SHOULD have, by now, learnt how to tolerate these people. We know how violent and religiously misdirected that they are, and so if we should unnecessarily provoke them, I do not think that God would absolve us from blame. Even psychiatrists are wary while dealing with their crazy patients. Those things they know would make the patients snap out of control are removed from the way as far as possible.
AND SO I ASK, as a Christian, what did that Igbo boy hope to achieve by writing whatever it was on that magazine? Was it necessary? If he was lynched by this foolishness of his, himself he would have had to blame. We know that moslems are like petrol. Why then should a wise man approach them with flint and tinder? Wisdom, my bible says, is profitable to direct. It also tell us to be wise as the serpent, but harmless as the dove.
WHERE, THEN, IS the wisdom in this case? Even if you want to establish the supremacy of Christianity over Islam, this is a wrong way to go about it.

they should deal with any norther want to kill others,their is freedom to speak,i see no reason,any thing is kill destory of properties, they do that in their area state in north.not in west,south and east, other tribes in lagos,not only lagosian, other tribes should join hand together and deal with them,they should take their backwardness to their states of origin,anything is fight take blood and soul away.dont respect law of the country only sharia police they have in north,country with 2 law,and some tribes above the law.

nice talk @metu but don’t forget every one has the right to speech if it not libelous.. this northerners are clueless since they know their Allah is great so why not leave him to do justice for himself… this set of people are becoming too confident they think they can take on any body .

Time and again the violent attitudes shown by the northern muslims whenever there is an altercation or fracas should make every other tribes in the country stay clear from sparking up what may look like trouble in the eyes of hausa muslims that could potentially lead to social unrest. What people in general will consider as minor might not be the case with the northern muslims in the country because of their level of understanding and their religious exremism. I personally consider “blasphemy” as a mere religious extremist practice or teaching that has no root in Quran. Because there is absolutely nothing in the Quran or the authentic teachings of prophet mohammed justifying the killing of people for opposing,criticizing,humiliating or showing irreverence toward holy personages,religious artifacts customs and beliefs of islam. Inspite of the fact that he was a warlord,there are example upon example that shows that prophet muhammed never did what this religious extremists northerners are currently doing in the name of “blaspheming” which is totally unquranic. But what baffles me most is why people will continue to engage in a scuffle with a generation of people that lack secular education that should have been instrumental in bolstering their relationship with the rest of nigerians. The federal government especially should take this issue of killing fellow nigerians in the name of senseless “blasphemy” that is purely unquranic seriously. They should strengthen the existing laws and allow this laws to take it course on whoever committed murder and cause social unrest in the name of religion.

@ huchennar, I dont intend to comment on this matter again but I just have to appreciate you for your sensible comment especially the question: “If they claim their god – Allah is great, why not let IT do justice for ITSELF?
@ Thricy, a point I would love to correct fast about your comment though, I‘m not trying to be judgemental is the fact that: These Chalatans do not believe in God as you thought but in “Allah“ allah is a god NOT God. Hence their demonic tedencies to kill, steal, and to destroy (John 10vs10).
THINGS CAN ONLY GET BETTER.

The crusade war between Moslem and Christian is now graduating to the next phase which if care is not taken will lead to segregation of Nigeria into two or more geopolitical zones. If the religion crisis continue towards this direction, I believe this Country may not break up economically but rather religious. What that guy wrote is not justification for demanding his head to be chopped off. Anybody can express his/her opinion on a page of newspaper. What will happen if somebody wrote the same thing from China? are they going to go to China to ask for his head?
Enough of this ignorance, the Chtistians must come out their shell and show a little bit of resistance. If these people know that you can fight them back, they won’t start all these braggadocio. If you try to be gentle with them, they will be feeling like oppressors. The Quran doesn’t teach them to be trailing innocent people just because their life has no value to them and they want to die. If their leaders cannot curtail them, let’s draw the battle line. I believe in one Nigeria but if a section of this Country thinks it has more dominion that the others then, it might as well better for each ethnic to go on its separate ways.
At this junction, the law of Jesus is not applicable here. If somebody slap on your right face unless if that individual did slap you with a force. If blood is coming out of that face bros! You won’t have time to turn your left side. Turn your left side if they slap your right face is not going to work why not go for law of Moses “an eye for an eye”. Since most of them belief in wrong idea that if you die in religion violence you can go the heaven then you can help them to realize their dream. All you have to do is to get a lot of grenade and small rockets. Do not go near them because they know how to use knife otherwise if you fail to put your control measures in place then, these people will eventually actualize their intentions as you have assumed.

@ANDY AND THE REST WHO DISAGREE with me, bear in mind that Moslems, by their religion, are predisposed to violence, whereas Christians are the very opposite. I am not advocating for this violent nature of theirs, but a sensible human being who finds himself in the proximity of a “mad man” should learn how to conduct himself for the sake of safety. Now ask yourselves why that Igboman would ever write whatever he wrote there and still allow it to be viewed by Moslems, knowing its potentially inciting nature? He did not write it and tuck it away from sight, but he rather published it. What makes him wiser than those Moslems we may have termed as foolish? This man clearly intended to cause a problem. He did not want to preach Jesus, or he would have been more careful.
AND SO I WILL blame him over and over again. He is just a lucky guy to still be breathing.
