Gaystar: We must do everything within our limits avoid war and any thing that could trigger it, I'm a very emotional person and I pity people a lot. We must not fight cos it will spell doom for the whole of Africa and not just Nigeria.
I know we all want peace but there seems to be so much injustice in our land right now. So many of us have prayed and even fasted to bring about change in our land and nothing seems to be working at the moment.
Our destiny is now in our hands and we must do whatever we can to bring address the present situation or else posterity will not judge us well...
God bless Nigeria.

Everyone's destiny has been in their hands since earth began. God does not meddle in the affairs of humans.

Bruv, that's a real right war. And I'm sure more than 100,000 people have been killed since it started.

Also, the longer it last, the more hardened those folks are going to get - and it's only a matter of time before it spreads to other parts of the country.

Nigerians honestly don't know what's about to hit them.

What we are facing is Islamist insurgency e.g Maitatsine and BOKO-HARAM.
Remember the Niger-delta was once a boiling pot.

The situation can only become a real war "IF" everybody decides to take-up arms against each other just like RUWANDA.

ISP1KSDATROOF:

Actually, your people, the Ibos (and to a lesser, but just as crazier extent, the Northerners) are the ones that've been beating the war drums in your country since 1970. They have been itching for a round 2, just since after the Nigeria/Biafra war was over. They might not have done the "requests" in physical terms like the North is want to do through butchers, murders and maimings, but theyve been very vocal in their desire to "destroy" Nigeria if they cannot get Biafra. This is not a hidden fact, and to deny this as truth is to proclaim yourself a non-credible person.

Really? So from 1970 to the present the Igbos "have been very vocal in their desire to "destroy" Nigeria if they cannot get Biafra"? Chronicler of Nigerian history I salute you! Please can you list historical support to back up this dangerous assertion?

How exactly have they been gunning for war all this while? By going back and integrating with the same people that killed and hated them before and during the war? By embodying 'One Nigeria' and moving on with their lives and entrepreneurial spirit even after countless mass murders and destruction of sources of livelihood and properties in religious or ethnic riots? Or has MASSOB become representative of the entire Igbo?

The danger of your rhetoric is in its subtle ethnic profiling of a people as a blood-thirsty collective without proofs, the same narrative that led to the war.

The problem with Nigeria is that many are now disenchanted and can no longer see a compelling future. People have therefore gone back to primordial tribal instincts in order to self-preserve.

Nigeria is traumatized with ghastly wounds and wounded people with the Igbos bearing a sizable chunk of that wound. Our solutions lie in healing these wounds and strongholds from the past, not in denying them, finding creative and courageous ways to resolve the problems we now face as a nation, and creating a compelling vision of a preferrable and beautiful future.

I am convinced that CIA/MI6 agents are planting seeds of discord in this forum.

Call for peaceful dissolution equals war now? You people who stay in the comforts of western countries planting this negative propaganda are evil and wicked for creating this thread.

You want to hypnotize us into doing something as careless as warring over what is a logical thing to do? Why

Evil people who do nothing but perpetrate genocide!

This is exactly what Britain did when they declared that the 1966 coup was an Igbo coup in their media houses. Planting poison.

This is what Britain did when they instigated the israeli-Palestine conflict, when they tore Pakistan and India apart.

^^^Listen to yourself! How can you force someone to love someone else; especially when he's of the firm belief that the other person hates him back.....and he has the scars to prove it!?

In any case, this 'hatred' you allude to is a consequence or symptom of a dysfunctional society; a society where the rights and freedoms of a people (as enumerated in my previous post) are denied them! The 'hatred' is not a causal factor but a symptom of a much deeper problem!

I still don't get why humans are afraid of war...every great change like the changing of the ridiculous state Europeans left Africa would surely need blood to cleans.
Many won't get it, but an opened eyes would see Nigeria isn't working, it never has and would never work.
A total disintegration is the only path to any better future

Whether Igbo, Hausa, fulani, Efik or ijaw want war against the Yoruba, they would get it. We certainly aren't the trouble markers

shymexx: It's either most of you are feigning ignorance, or Nigerians are just generally selfish, and insensitive to other people's plight.

Isn't there a war currently going on in that country, with boko haram attacks?

This is the google images link of what's going on in Nigeria: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=boko+haram+attacks&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=qCPUU8LfGe2f7AbIxIGYBA&sqi=2&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAg&biw=1252&bih=602

^^Pray tell me that isn't a war. Oh, because it doesn't affect you directly, the country is peaceful, no?

Smh @ these mofos getting emotional about war pictures, and screaming peace - when there's a war currently going on in the same country. It's a only a matter of time before it spreads to other parts of the country undecided

Thank you

Lagos has being bombed, signifying the escalation of the war.

Do u know the meaning of "Anti"

Antichrist means people that are against christ... Meaning some christians are antichrist cos they go against his will. Anyone that goes against d commandments in the bible is antichrist.

The antichrist is not a supernatural person that will fight christ at the end. The antichrist are humans that don't obey the bible.

And you think those folks attacking military formations and bases are just ordinary inconsequential folks, no? Just pray they don't get hold of manpads from Libya - else, it's over for the Nigerian military in that axis.

Anyway, I believe Boko Haram is allegedly a Sunni sect, no? And the ones the Nigerian army killed yesterday are shiite, isn't it? I also read on the thread that they've got Qud fighters. Now, that's fvcked up. Get back on your knees and pray the shiite folks don't retaliate because if they do, they'll be two battle fronts for the already exhausted Nigerian military. And the shia's don't play - they go harder than the Sunni's.

Just remember the titans when you're praying. And pray for peace. cool

I think our parents are giving birth to more stupid children than we had those days. If you were born from 1965 upwards, please shut up! You don't know anything about fighting your neighbour, you sing typing rubbish! If we start fighting wars now, who will be your target? Igbo against yoruba? Yoruba against hausa? Hausa against igbo, fulani against nupe? Ijaw against itsekiri? Kids of nowadays are so stu.pid and they just don't know what war is all about. My dad had to carry us, running from one local government to the other. Running in the bush, killing different kinds of wild animals. You think you fought cult fights, secondary school ode fights, street fights, etc and you think you can fight war? Talk to a soldier in maiduguri anyhow and see if he won't release bullets in your body, stu.pid kids. You have your smelling fathers that cheated you, input hate in your minds. Few men putting hates in your hearts and you come here forming loyalist to your tribe. I swear, th.under should just strike some these kids here, Id.iots. Do you know how many family members were lost? War begets more hatred because in war, there is no victory, only varying degree of defeats! All of you should just get out and sleep. Ode! Warrior ko! Hulk hogan ni!
