People are threatening war or violence because Nigerians are seeing first hand the kind of extremism that has permeated a region and the human cost of it; we are all tied down to this and we are all suffering.

This thread like my Yakowa tweets is another reveal on extremism.
I'll be referring to this tweet again where this person's contribution to what is currently going on is that the Internet is what is destroying Nigeria.

Not the extremism, not the hate, not the terrorism.

Today, I will be discussing a phrase "Allah Ya Kara nauyin kasa"
"Allah kara Nauyin kasa" is a phrase used in the North when people like me and you die. If you do not share similar beliefs, they will say it on news of your death.
Read this tweet of this very normal Northern fellow defining it as a term they use when a "disbeliever" dies.
The term literally states that since people like me do not believe,may the earth increase in weight so that it will crush us in death.

I came across it yday on Facebook in a comment section responding to Patrick Yakowa's death

These are the same people who accuse you of bigotry
You want to know how casual it is for them to wish eternal pain for anyone?

Look at response to Chadwick Boseman's Death
Rishi Kapoor's death
Majek Fashek's death

All harmless men

Wetin these people do them? Nothing but they do not share their faith so curse them in death 🙃
How much is this term used on twitter? Very much.

My retweets will show you.

When someone accuses you of hate for speaking out for your life but the person is raised and socialised on hate and casually exhibits this hate, it is safe to say the person wants you to die in silence
