[size=14pt]North Africa Qaeda offers to help Nigerian Muslims[/size] Mon Feb 1, 2010 1:20pm GMT DUBAI (Reuters) - An al Qaeda group in North Africa has offered to give Nigerian Muslims training and weapons to fight Christians in the West African country, where more than 460 people were killed in sectarian clashes last month. Vice President Goodluck Jonathan sent in the military to halt the violence after four days of clashes between Christian and Muslim mobs armed with guns, knives and machetes in the area round the city of Jos in central Nigeria. "We are ready to train your people in weapons, and give you whatever support we can in men, arms and munitions to enable you to defend our people in Nigeria," the statement by al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) said. It was signed in the name of Abu Mus'ab Abdel-Wadoud, who was described as the "emir", or leader, of the group, and appeared on Islamic websites that often carry statements from groups using the al Qaeda name around the world. "You are not alone in this test. The hearts of Mujahideen are in pain over your troubles and desire to help you as much as possible, in the Islamic Maghreb, Somalia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Chechnya," it said. Nigeria has roughly equal numbers of Christians and Muslims, though traditional animist beliefs underpin many people's faith. About 1 million people were killed in Nigeria's 1967-70 civil war, and there have been outbreaks of religious unrest since then. But more than 200 ethnic groups generally live peacefully side by side in the West African oil producer. Last month's violence erupted after an argument between Muslim and Christian neighbours over the rebuilding of homes destroyed in previous clashes in 2008. A Nigerian man tried to bomb a U.S.-bound plane on December 25 in an attack claimed by Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, a Saudi-Yemeni group using the al Qaeda name and based in Yemen. AQIM kidnapped a Frenchman and three Spaniards in the Sahara late last year and said it would kill the French hostage by the end of January unless Mali freed four al Qaeda prisoners. French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said on Monday the group had extended the deadline. AQIM has waged a campaign of suicide bombings and ambushes in Algeria but in the past few years has shifted many of its activities south to the Sahara desert. Last year it killed a British tourist, Edwin Dyer, after kidnapping him on the border between Niger and Mali while he was attending a festival of Tuareg culture. The group also said it shot dead a U.S. aid worker in the Mauritanian capital Nouakchott in June last year and carried out a suicide bombing on the French embassy there in August that injured three people. Saharan states have been planning a regional conference to map out a joint response to the al Qaeda threat for more than a year, but the gathering has been postponed repeatedly. http://af.reuters.com/article/topNews/idAFJOE6100EE20100201?sp=true |

Let us get it out before they [conspiracy theorist of NL] do. This is all big plan by the US to destabilise Nigeria. I mean, how come they never offered help until US puts Nigeria on some sort of terror-prone nations list? I swear to god, death to "amerika" for all of these.   |

Haven't you heard they are responsible for the earthquake in Jaiti so as to set up a military base? Word. I'm telling you son sources reaching me right now say they are after our oil. |
| Re: Reuters - Al Qaeda in North Afica Offers To Help Nigerian Muslims by THEAMAKA(f): 3:08pm On Feb 01, 2010 |
ElRazur:duh!!! this is serious. if this is true I'm done with Nigeria. I can't watch my family live in such a country. it breaks my heart. to hell with al qaeda. |

Elrazur gives voltaire a run for his money. Let me smoke some of the special conspiracy weed too. I predict that muslims will poison their food supplies in order to get at the christians in Nigeria. |
| Re: Reuters - Al Qaeda in North Afica Offers To Help Nigerian Muslims by OvieE: 3:09pm On Feb 01, 2010 |
ElRazur: Once again you prove how stupid and idiot you are. How did America responsible for earthquake in Haiti not Jaiti? |
| Re: Reuters - Al Qaeda in North Afica Offers To Help Nigerian Muslims by ElRazur: 3:11pm On Feb 01, 2010 |
OvieE: Look, do you even know a joke when you see one?  Or do you not have an ounce of common sense in you? Jeez. Look read my post again. It is clear to most what am talking about but you. Jeez.Oh where is Jaiti? Is it on the map? THE AMAKA: Wait let me get this, you seriously believe that? |
| Re: Reuters - Al Qaeda in North Afica Offers To Help Nigerian Muslims by THEAMAKA(f): 3:13pm On Feb 01, 2010 |
what does the US have to do with Nigeria besides the oil? |
| Re: Reuters - Al Qaeda in North Afica Offers To Help Nigerian Muslims by asha80(m): 3:17pm On Feb 01, 2010 |
Why can't u guys get Elrazur's drift?He is simply sarcastically echoeing what nigerians here on nairaland always seem to say whenever this kind of story surfaces. |
| Re: Reuters - Al Qaeda in North Afica Offers To Help Nigerian Muslims by ElRazur: 3:19pm On Feb 01, 2010 |
asha 80: Damn. This brother is ruining my fun. lol. On a different level, I have noticed people find it hard to detect satirical and wit based humours around here, especially when laced with sarcasm. |
| Re: Reuters - Al Qaeda in North Afica Offers To Help Nigerian Muslims by blacksta(m): 3:23pm On Feb 01, 2010 |
Dont you guys know they are some weed smoking conspiracy theorist called Sam and Negro_nts on the foreign section who think the U.S used an earthquake machine against haiti on the guise to take control over the country new recently discovered oil . That is the most silliest thing i have heard in this new year |
| Re: Reuters - Al Qaeda in North Afica Offers To Help Nigerian Muslims by asha80(m): 3:24pm On Feb 01, 2010 |
ElRazur: Really this is a serious situation if it true. |
| Re: Reuters - Al Qaeda in North Afica Offers To Help Nigerian Muslims by hatch: 3:25pm On Feb 01, 2010 |
There are a number of idiots on this thread and infact, of all them i personally think OvieE is the dumbest. OvieE: Its sad that with your so called level of exposure you cant tell when someone is being Sarcastic |
| Re: Reuters - Al Qaeda in North Afica Offers To Help Nigerian Muslims by ElRazur: 3:30pm On Feb 01, 2010 |
blacksta: Look clearly you are not intelligent. The epicenter of the earthquake was different from what we know. Besides, "my sources" said the US used a machine called HARRPP to generate that tremendous amount of energy. So, it must be true. |
| Re: Reuters - Al Qaeda in North Afica Offers To Help Nigerian Muslims by blacksta(m): 3:34pm On Feb 01, 2010 |
ElRazur: Your sources must be weed smokers as well Lol _ Harrrp ko star ni |

This post is not a joke o! The Rams up North will definitely dance to AlQuaedo Longomba's Makossa, totally forgeting that the people down South can do the same dance, with more intelligence. I pray that those up there will reason more intelligently this time. I can sincerely see an imminent break up! |

Al-Qeada to help Nigeria Moslem Terrorist, i love that. When i say, Every Moslem is a Terrorist, people call for my ban. Nothing Good Comes out of Islam, and by the power of the most high, Islam will be eradicated. God will never allow the Devil to have upper hand. |
| Re: Reuters - Al Qaeda in North Afica Offers To Help Nigerian Muslims by NegroNtns(m): 5:03pm On Feb 01, 2010 |
before I respond to post two things to clear up. . . Sam and Negro_nts on the foreign section who think the U.S used an earthquake machine against haiti blacksta, treat my sayings like you do "facts"! make sure anything you attribute to me is correct. Can you quote where I said US hit Haiti with earthquake? Is time muslims call themselves devil religion since they like a human blood. Fucck Mohammed for developing terrorist religion. Ovie, do you know what Europeans called Africans when they set foot on our continent? They said we are heathens and we kill and eat one another. To save us they brought Christianity and then enslaved us in the name of Jesus. lmao! Is it religion that is bad or is it certain humans with demented views? Jesus is the prophet of God, the Messiah. . .and it will be a blasphemy to attribute the atrocities of European terrorism to Him. LIkewise, respect Mohammed for his legacy to humanity. . .if you cannot show respect, then don't denigrate Him as you have done. Doing so does not earn you any fame here. @post, Gradually, following the pattern in religious skirmishes in the North, the people have successfully pushed the frontier away from the seat of the "Hausa Bakwai" Emirates and the new boundaries of these conflicts happen to be regions in the North in which Christians are indeed in large population. . .like Jos! The response to AQIM should be a strategic one. In the sense that Northern Nigeria should be saddled with a burden that draws its efforts and focus away from religious differences and into economic survival or cultural surival in which standing alone, its vulnerability becomes obvious and exploitable and so is forced to seek securit through a national sense of identity, rather than an Islamic one. |

When edoyad spoke, they called him a bigot. Let me tell you newbies something, alqaeda is already in Nigeria and i'm not playing around this time. When you pass by stalls and shops and see posters of Osama in camouflage along with planes crashing into the WTC pasted to the walls, you know What's up. Look at it this way, how is possible that Mutallab is the first and only person from Nigeria to train with the alqaeda ? He didn't hear about it from friends, family or neighbours ? Think about that. |
| Re: Reuters - Al Qaeda in North Afica Offers To Help Nigerian Muslims by ElRazur: 5:08pm On Feb 01, 2010 |
I thought it is a common sight in the north to see cars with massive poster of Osama on its sides? |
| Re: Reuters - Al Qaeda in North Afica Offers To Help Nigerian Muslims by EzeUche(m): 5:20pm On Feb 01, 2010 |
It is time for us to deal with this Islamist threat once and for all. A call to arms of all Christians in the south to fight these people who only want our death. Lets send them to Allah!!! Time for a CRUSADE!!! |
| Re: Reuters - Al Qaeda in North Afica Offers To Help Nigerian Muslims by bawomolo(m): 5:27pm On Feb 01, 2010 |
EzeUche: all these tough talk while you are in the US eating cheese burger and fried chicken. why don't you carry arms and lead the battle yourself. call to arms ko call to legs ni. |
| Re: Reuters - Al Qaeda in North Afica Offers To Help Nigerian Muslims by EzeUche(m): 5:31pm On Feb 01, 2010 |
bawomolo: Actually I am in Port Harcourt right now eating fufu and egusi soup, |
| Re: Reuters - Al Qaeda in North Afica Offers To Help Nigerian Muslims by Justcash(m): 5:33pm On Feb 01, 2010 |
hatch#: Sit and watch as events unfold. It will happen right infront of you and you will be so helpless that you cannot do anything to avoid it. The brewing Tension is a just the beginning! When they unravel their suicide bombers and bloodthristy terrorists to lay siege and carry out pre-meditated attacks in the South (like they are doing in India) , you will understand that things are really taking another dimension. N/B Remember that they have started with letter bombs already. EzeUche:No worry, siddon dey eat, they will take the fight to your doorsteps. This was the cause of the death of thousands of Christians in the North. Ignorance! You better be at alert! |
| Re: Reuters - Al Qaeda in North Afica Offers To Help Nigerian Muslims by Beaf: 5:44pm On Feb 01, 2010 |
hatch#: Is your foot going to stop it? Nigeria is paying for years of planlessness, stupidity and blatant wickedness. The only way the country can be saved is if we hold a national conference to sit down and thrash out the structure of our nationhood. |
| Re: Reuters - Al Qaeda in North Afica Offers To Help Nigerian Muslims by ElRazur: 5:49pm On Feb 01, 2010 |
Beaf: We have had over 40years to do that or at least work it out, but quite frankly, it do not work. Perhaps time to try a radical approach. . . God forbid, we actually do what most want this time and go each other's way? Just a thought. |
| Re: Reuters - Al Qaeda in North Afica Offers To Help Nigerian Muslims by edoyad(m): 6:05pm On Feb 01, 2010 |
When people are in a situation to coexist peacefully the rational thing is to break up. Is there anything Yugoslavia did not do to try to remain one ? That area was so volatile just a decade ago but see how all those people are enjoying peace today after splitting up. |
