GoldenYankee1 Na today? Another one go happen, na still dsame protest. When you're ready to be serious, everybody will talk to their senses

There's no justice in Nigeria

I hopeCAN mean it.

Don't ever try this nonsense in the great city of kano😏

That is all CAN do talk.. Demand and never get. PeterObi4President2023

We need one voice

CAN should go and read deuteronomy 21,and also be aware of christian life which precautions is most Likely ,let us pray for deborah's family and let God fight is battle ,

CAN don't call for riot ooo we r pleading, at d moment hungry and expenses are dealing wit us , though Allah will surely dealth wit d pple dat killed Deborah

God help us

Rest in perfect peace.

Nonsense question

Yes, really in support of the protest,when we keep quiet it looks as if Christianity is just a name,we shouldn't protest like them a peacefull protest is ok,this same people call christians aarnah and we kept quiet,kill thousands of christians brothers and sisters no retaliation.

Why are you demanding for nation wide protest , when Reno omokiri, said Kuka told him every thing is in order, The only protest we igbos will be interested is allow us to go our separate ways.

CAN let this country live in peace, let the authorities that have the total power to handle the matter. Protest is not a way forward

EndNigeriaNowToSaveLives

someone should pay a Hitman to take down the killers of this lady cos of Una de wait for Una careless government believe me fam they won’t do anything and definitely they would set the killers free cos they are all Muslims…pay someone to take them down!

I support.

Ahh!ah! CAN is now a political party. L

Justice kee? Deborah is not the first and will not be the last. They have the judges, hurry, and the arms and ammunition and you want justice? How many Bokoharam, herdsmen have been prosecuted? Kingmakers in the North support Deborah killing & u want justice, sorry ho. RIP

Na every time ds CAN sef dey demand justice,make dem do the needful. Eye for an rye

Divide Nigeria NOW.

Can that knows nothing but money

Story CAN will never do anything that will jeopardize their little smooth operation

Was justice served for the brutal murder of Bridget Agbahime, Shuaibu Yohanna & Eunice Elisha yet? What you allow will continue. Nigeria Christians need to wake up from their eternal slumber.

This matter is a fight for justice, humanity & for a better Nigeria. The killers must be apprehended, tried. Justice must be served. Deborah was a Northerner, killed by Northerners. I don't want us to make this case a North vs South, or Muslim vs Christian. JusticeforDeborah

We don't need protest for this, if the federal govt don't have anything to say about this, then they should kill us all, enough is enough. Since 2010, what we have been hearing in the north is bombing the church killing Christians, how many Muslims have been killed in the south.

She got what she deserved. NO lowlife should be spared when he/she touches/insulted our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW). She wasn't killed because she was a Christian, she was killed because of what she said. Regardless of her religion, this is what she deserves.

May she go to hell🔥🔥🔥🔥

Come out to protest, and face our wrath

Justice for all who have suffered breach of their rights in any part of the country.

Na now una dey wake up....

Kill one Muslim on religion stupid stuff like this and see the big imams and Muslim groups come out to fight for them. Not so with Christians. Where are the big Christian preachers and other groups aside CAN?

Protest 🪧 and Jesus is sleeping when Mohammed is sucking blood, religion isa scam

We should avoid actions that will lead to controversies & trigger unrest and violence

No. She's Worthy to what was really done to her.

There seem to be a conspiracy of silence amongst the Muslim Northern elites about this killing. It does appear as if they are giving a tacit approval for the killing, abeit, I could be wrong, but my guts feeling tells me I am right.

But is it possible for Deborah to get justice in Nigeria?. This question goes to my one Nigeria brothers and sisters. And to those who don't believe Nigeria can be islamised. If she gets justice the separatists are wrong.

I don't support this protest. It may likely lead to religion crisis

Religious people are all mad.. Be you Christian or Muslim.

People who have never been to Sokoto, will attack me for saying this. But I have lived there. If you respect their religion, you will prosper there, even if you don’t believe in their religion. They will NEVER force it on you. But you MUST respect it. My testimony TableShaker

My dear Deborah need justice and the public need answer for this, the should teach them a lesson, for everyone to learn from it human life is not an animal life

As if it's no longer the same people we knew. There's no justice in Nigeria, especially when the victims are of a Christian believe...

Try and see

See Hypocrites Condemning the murder of Deborah Yakubu in Sokoto but kept silent on the daily murder of Notherners in Southeast especially the murder of that Fulani Family of 7 in Oyi, Anambra State and the Army Couple who were Rap£d, Butchered and Beheaded. HYPOCRITES!!!!!

This is Timely. CHRISTIANS ARE NOT SECOND CLASS CITIZENS IN NIGERIA. JusticeForDeborah

It will not work this time. You of all people should know the consequences of blasphemy.

What can they do Nigeria politics

PoliceNG punch newspaper is calling for violence. Initiate: CS001/SKT/PRS

We don't need to protest for the law enforcement to prevail.. To pretest means justice is denied..

Which may cause another problem.

We should focus on the human that was murdered and not the religion . No human deserves to be murdered by another ! Nationwide protest is more of a religious division than addressing the issue of the senseless killings all over the country.

Good one👍👍👍

And I pray this doesn't lead to something else

At least, let's separate 9ja into two. North nija an South 9ja

CNN cnnbrk CNNnewsroom cnni BBCBreaking ABC .... Look into this they don't care about people in this country

When will you people realize that protests don't work here in Nigeria

This senseless killing has to stop!

I support this 💯
