A Thread For Foreign Or International News Discussion. by Nobody: 6:49pm On Aug 20, 2015
I'm using this medium to plead with the Mods lalasticlala maclantunji Afam4eva Obinoscopy and Seun to please allow for foreign stories to grace FP. We need to also debate on what's going on outside the shores of our countries and do a comparative analysis with ours.


I will call on lovers of International news to post their news here let's see the ones that will grace FP.


We need to talk about the Middle East crises and the rise of ISIS and how countries are fuelling it with their actions and inactions.


The crises in CAR with it being on the verge of turning into another Somalia.


Greece financial Crises and how it should be mitigated


The tension brewing in China with the Tainjin explosion.


The US presidential Election vis-a-vis Donald Trump emergence as a strong contender


Let's go International.

we need to keep updated about what is going on outside the shores of this country.

Apart from maligning our image as fraudsters and terrorists, do Americans consider our national issues topical enough to be at the front burner of discussions?

Besides, our national issues are engaging enough and you should be glad young persons of the comtempary era are interested in how their futures are being shaped by participating in politicking off and on the cybersphere.

Visit m.bbc.com for such discussion but here, NIGERIAN issues top the list of our concerns.♦

Some international politics greatly affects our country and needs sound discussion. Like the Iran nuclear deal for example, Others calls for sober reflection like the Greece economy. But never mind, we don't even have sound minds, comments like "First to comments", "Hmmm", "K" and pointless memes would litter such topics.

I don't know why international news stories don't make front page anymore. Back in the days when we always have endless discussion on the artillery capabilities of major world power countries and the intrigues of international diplomacy. Anyways the forum has gone to the dogs.

Why are the Israelis and Saudis throwing unnecessary tantrums on the nuclear deal. Those guys are the major doofus hindering peace in the middle east, satanyanhu keep making the two state solution impossible with further incursion into east Jerusalem and approving more settlements into Palestinian territories.

Wrong. Nairaland is one of MANY forums.

Do you visit m.bbc.com website and Facebook page (for example) regularly? Well, I do. I argue with people of all races there to broaden my worldview amongst other reasons.

Each country has forums that are indigenious to them.

There's www.bbc.co.uk which focuses on British issues mostly.

Nairaland serves its purpose as a NIGERIAN forum. Broaden your horizon. You don't expect to be 'fed' with everything on one site.

As for the jokers and clowns, they are ubiquitous. Check foreign news sites and you'd find them.♦

The Isrealis and Saudis are scared of what Iran can do. Iran are Shites which sees the Sunnis as enemies and also the Iran has never recognise the State of Isreal because they see it as EVIL just Like they see Saudi Arabia as Evil.

The Iranians are not Arabs and are sophisticated bunch who are not happy that they are being suppressed by the Isrealis.


A cold war is being played out btw the Saudis (sunnis) and the Iranians (shites) and they are using Yemen and Syria as their playing turf

I visit those sites more for international news, I don't participate in their discussions tho. Sometimes you would want to hear Nigerians opinions on international politics and how it affects "OUR" country. No one would discuss how the Iran nuclear deal will shape Nigeria for us, No one would discuss how Greece financial crisis compares to ours. Can Nigeria replicate Ethiopia agricultural policy?(A country without a single drop of oil yet growing on a remarkable scale) Some international news needs discussion by Nigerians. Stop looking at the colonial lines drawn on maps for demarcation and start seeing the world as one big village...Greatly connected. Whatever that happens in any country look at how it affects your country or how we can learn from it.

if I'm to speak out without being sentimental, I will advocate for a Palestinian state as a solution to Isreal and Palestine conflict. The Isrealis are visitors there and they used superior power to displace the palestinians.


The major problem there is Jerusalem which houses an Islam holy site, Xtian holy site and Jewish Holy site.

The injustice in Palestine is one of the factors fueling international terrorism that's a fact. But since uncle Sam and UN decide to turn a blind eye then this will continue till the end of time, I don't see a solution in the nearest future.

Trust me, WE discuss it. In our little gathering of intellectuals, in salons, on Nairaland... We do. These might not be popular topics here but we do.

I can tell you that the Arabs are being brainwashed by the Western power till this day. The Western powers are only after their oil and nothing more.


Why should American pump billions into an Afghanistan that has no Oil and allowed Somalia to deteoriate.
