:’) Maybe they wound up converted to Islam (or dead if they refused).
Wrong threat, sir.
The Nok were beset by, what at the time was known as the “neo sharers”. The “What yours is mine, what’s mine is mine too, gimme gimme, let me kill you for having what I don’t” mindset.
And, of course, with the “all opinions are equal” rule, the poor Nok were defenseless against their own folk who fell into that program of indoctrination, since the program and its indoctrination had no reliance on actual true fact, had no relationship to functional reality and was advanced, advocated and preached by those who had no integrity, honor or ability to relate cause to effect over time.
The neo sharers were immune to reason, argument and protected from debate by a complete lack of critical thinking skills.
The neo sharers then, as now, were a greater threat to the existence of the Nok than the religious murder/death cult a few tribe lands away that was also causing them grief at the time.
