Religious tensions have been growing as a general strike over rising petrol prices continues to grip the country.

Southerners, who are mostly Christians or animists, have recently been the targets of attacks by Boko Haram, which operates in the mainly Muslim north.
Yobe is one of the states where the government has declared a state of emergency following an upsurge in violence by the Islamist group.

Meanwhile, tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets in many cities to protest against the doubling of the price of petrol since the beginning of the year.
The removal of a fuel subsidy has caused widespread anger among Nigerians.

GOD BLESS NIGERIA....GOD BLESS AFRICA....ALUTA CONTINUA
