This is purely a religous war which has been on going in Nigeria. Muslims are so hopeless and useless in carrying out their useless religion. Thats why we have to be careful about all this protest going on under the cloak of fuel subsidy removal. Some of the protest in the north might not be unconnected with religion in the real sense of it. Much as am against the timing, yet the removal is not bad. We in the east are not part of the mad protest. The protest as we have witnessed so far in the north appears more like a religous protest even though they may say that christians are among them. The timing of the subsidy is very bad but the subsidy removal is not a bad idea provided GEJ will utilize the proceeds very well.

Guys stop these inflammatory posts. Things are not that bad in benin. There is more vehicular traffic today compared to yesterday. I drove round town today and encountered no protest. There are numerous police patrols.
Tensions remain in the air quite alright. The hausas understandably are scared. The pockets of violence yesterday was perpetuated by some miscreants from the ghetto, looking to cease on the chaos.
Most people are peace loving, and absolutely condemn the violence.

@snowdrops God will Bless U my brother,

You are welcome.

Most people who besiege this forum which all sorts of scary headlines do not reside in Benin. They monger rumours and half truths. This is not only sad but dangerous. At this time when the nation is on a knife edge, what we certainly do not want is such nasty stories.

It remain unconfirmed if indeed a northerner was killed yesterday in Benin.
I went past the allegedly burnt down mosque several times today. It has little sign of fire damage. If anything it was vandalised by hoodlums. But as soon as security personel came into the picture, peace was restored ASAP.
It is yet to be ascertained if a soldier killed any person today. I was around that part of the city when the incident was said to have happened.

People should calm down. Report facts, not rumours. The facts are;

There is massive presence of soldiers and police at strategic locations in Benin
Some hausas are being placed temporarily in police and soldier baracks for their own safety
Few have left Benin althogether for fear of being assaulted
About a third of shops re-opened for business today and same number of motorists on the road
The city remains tense, not only due to above, but also due to an ongoing cult clash and reprisal killings.
