I am wondering why ethnic cleansing does not legally fulfil the definition of genocide. Honestly to me, it looks like a lacunae.

Genocide is defined to be the systemic and deliberate killing of a particular group with a view to eliminating them........ this definition stricto sensu doesn't say the group has to be a religious group.

Oga first of all to claim that any sane Nigerian is not in protest against the killings in the north is an insult and a lie. A lot of Northerners have done more than you or me, to put an end to the killings. Be Humble.


Are Christians Dying in Nigeria due to insurgency? Yes as a matter of fact they are, But I believe it is not the "premeditated genocide" as the media pronounces it.

Nigeria has the most church buildings destroyed in the world, and also a high number of attacks on Christians in worship centers. Now looking at these facts as an outsider, the conclusion instantly drawn is that Nigeria is no safe place for christians, or proof of genocide(which is true). But it is very necessary to understand that these are symptoms of the insecurity that has plagued Nigerians since the APC set its sight on power as a matter of fact more mosques and Muslims have suffered in comparison to christians besides fewer christians recide in the areas of interest than muslims.. (i believe anybody that ignores this fact is a hypocrite)
My conclusion is this, Yes Christians, are getting killed by extremist. But It's not the "premeditated genocide story" that Trump is spinning...

They're professional gas lighters. Shey dem no dey think, what if to say islamic terrorist fit don overrun Naija before then. E go be like Syria, Americans carry their own share, head choppers carry their own share? Na person wey don die go defend his resources from the Americans?

Akaekpuchionwa2:
Swerve one side ancient of days. You have been shouting Free Palestine here yet you have refused to protest against the killings of Muslims in the North. You also don't wan Christians to protest the killings of Christians in the North. You're a proper hypocrite.

private American companies produce AK-pattern semi-automatic rifles for the U.S. civilian market, some of which were initially intended to be under license from the Russian manufacturer, Kalashnikov Concern.

Many USA companies can produce popular Russia fire arms even rocket launcher etc

They sell it to bandit because it easy to use those are not Russia made grade

Mr man If you arm any army properly they will use that arm to over throw you lol

You can only just give them what can last every seven days

And you rotate the squad each seven days

After they failed in Ukraine they want to prove a point in Venezuela next they will come down to Nigeria

Hopefully they will light up those Nigerians keyboard warriors that hide in their rooms

We know only one nation or group of scared leaders that loves to sell weapons to bandit it is the UK USA evil nato

So it all a distraction so that people won't focus on their failures in Ukraine

Madagascar, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Togo and so many others.

There's information going round that there was an attempted coup on President Tinubu. That's why he rushed and replaced all the service chiefs. The plan was foiled.

Me and you know say the only reason why Nigerians flood western countries is because of the language and money. Nothing else.

Afterall that's where our leaders hide the billions of dollars they loot from us. We're only there to get a piece of our national pie.

you can never see "women and children" people on a topic like this.

But let just assume Israel or the US is connected in any way. This is what starvation and genocide look like.

"Nader Sadaqa’s identity as a Palestinian Samaritan Jew is crucial to understanding his story.

The Samaritans are a tiny ethnoreligious group, often considered the world’s smallest, who live primarily on Mount Gerizim in the Palestinian city of Nablus and in Holon, Israel.

They are adherents of Samaritanism, a religion cognate with, but distinct from, mainstream Judaism. The Samaritans assert that they are the genuine descendants of the ancient Israelites, specifically the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh, who were not exiled during the Assyrian conquest in 722 BCE.

They hold their version of the Torah (the Pentateuch) as the sole holy text and believe it to be the original.

A core tenet of their faith is the sanctity of Mount Gerizim near Nablus, which they regard as the true holy site chosen by God, unlike the Jewish tradition that holds Mount Zion in Jerusalem as holy.

The Samaritans reject the Jewish religious canon beyond the Torah and believe they possess the original version of the ancient Israelite religion.

In the context of the Israeli occupation of Palestine, the Samaritans of Nablus have maintained strong, integral ties with the surrounding Palestinian society."

Just learnt today that one of the commanders that Hamas facilitated the release of was a Samaritan (a branch of Judaism). He's essentially a Palestinian Jew

He was one of the commanders of the military wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP, which is the most hard-line Palestinian Resistance group

They're more hard-line than Hamas and Islamic Jihad and are a communist/Marxist group. They're so hard-line, that they reject acknowledging israel's existence, negotiating with israel and believe Israel must be completely eradicated only through armed violence

The group, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine was founded by a Christian Palestinian George Habash and is one of the eight Resistance groups fighting in Gaza

His name is Nader Saleh Mamdouh Sadaqa, a native of Nablus in the West Bank and this is his quote on why he fights:

"Military action was not my choice, but the choice of the stage (of the Palestinian struggle) – that stage in which we sought to express ourselves, and defend our convictions, principles, and the rights of our people,” Sadaqa was quoted by Al-Jazeera as saying

The pro western source clearly mentions that Israel is blocking Turkish rescuers from recovering the bodies of Israeli hostages in Gaza. Or did you read something else there?

The news is widely reported, but as usual Nairaland will hide it since it doesn’t suit their pro-West and anti-Palestinian bias. That said, here you go:

People aren’t really ready to hear the truth about working in hospitality. On the surface, it may look like a regular job — serving food, smiling at guests, and clocking in and out. But behind that smile is a person who’s often physically exhausted, mentally drained, and emotionally worn out.

Growing up, I was vibrant, outspoken, full of life. But working in hospitality stripped a lot of that away from me. You constantly have to dim your light, lower your voice, and reduce yourself just to make others comfortable — just to please customers who often don’t see the human behind the service. And it's not just the guests — the management can be even worse. They push you, frustrate you, and you're left with no choice but to accept whatever is thrown at you because the fear of losing your job is always looming.

Yes, you may be making money — but what’s money when you don’t even have the time or energy to enjoy it? You're lucky if you get one full day off a week. Even on your "off" days, all you want to do is sleep and recover, because shifts are long, draining, and demanding. Standing for hours, dealing with rude guests, running up and down — it takes a toll on your body. No matter how well you eat before a shift, exhaustion catches up. Sometimes, you end up eating scraps or leftovers from tables just to make it through.

And let’s not forget the environment — working late nights, inhaling second-hand smoke from customers, dealing with drunken behavior, and trying to stay professional in the middle of chaos. Over time, it chips away at your self-worth and your health.

I could go on and on about my experience in this industry. The nightlife and hospitality scene might look glamorous from the outside, but if you value your mental and physical well-being, it's not a place to stay for too long. It teaches you resilience, yes — but it can also break you in ways people don’t see.
