Many people are saying that the unknown gunmen should not cause Nigeria's second civil war, my question is , has Nigeria not being fighting war with Boko Haram for more than ten years now. Why is only war with the Biafrans called civil war.

Bokoharam has direct relationship and connections with alqaeda and also many foreign national have been caught with the sect.
also bokoharam was is not restricted to only Nigeria as Chad, Cameron, Niger are all fighting bokoharam.
civil war is mainly within citizens of the same country..

Lying through the Anus already ... too early

Boko haram have too many apologist.

A civil war is a war between citizens of a country, usually for independence of a particular sect or for betterment of the country as a whole. Random killings and kidnappings by terrorist groups like the boko haram or Fulani herdsmen do not qualify as civil war because even in a war, there's a measure of civilization and mutual respect

Civil war is a war between citizens of a country. maybe tribe, or ethnicity or political affiliation. sometimes Slavery and states right causes civil war.
Boko Haram is a terrorist war.
ESN has sympathizers than could come out of the open and say "I support ESN" and they are justified because no matter how much u want to hide it, their fight has something to do with state right and perceived slavery even though there is an element of greed in most of them

FH sympathizers can also cause civil war, they also come out in the open because they are justified reason been that innocent herdsmen are killed due to hatred, revenge and vexation in some parts of the country.

Boko haram sympathizers can't come out in the open, u can't boldly come out and shout stop killing Boko haram

There's a difference between secessionist attempts to break free from a contraption, and deliberate terrorist attack for no justifiable reason.

You know I was thinking about this yesterday and I can't help but marvel at the level of double standards that govern the affairs of this country.
Few days ago, the loquacious leader of the youth wing of the amorphous Northern People's Forum, one Yerima, said that folks from igboland need to first explain the actions of the Secessionists in the East before talking of the presidency. Meanwhile, this guy is coming from the same North where at the moment, we have an active insurgency worse than anything IPOB is doing a million times and his type is already controlling the presidency without much objections! The stark irony in his outburst was totally lost on him and millions of other Nigerians reading for the obvious reason that politicians from the east seldom push back against this kind of narrative... If somebody from Yobe state can be the countrys Senate president while the North East is embroiled in a war against Nigeria, what again is the reason for the continued exclusion of Igbos from the presidency?

Secondly, I have been wandering why the whole of insurgency ravaged North East of Nigeria has not been blockaded totally and cut off from humanity in order to starve the People there to submission! Shekau is asking for a caliphate! He wants his own country totally devoted to islam! He actually wants to force all of us to be converted forcefully to muslims! Ojukwu never wanted the rest of Nigeria to become Biafrans! The Igbos asked for Biafra. For asking for Biafra, the igbos were surrounded, every adjoining country was bribed with oil wells and monetary inducements in order to accept helping with a total blockade of igboland! It cost nearly 5 million lives both directly and indirectly! My questions are: Why are such far reaching measures not being applied in the North East? Why is Boko Haram being pampered? Many villagers in the North East provide Boko Haram with information on troops movements and all that, why are their hospitals and markets and mosques not being bombed to maintain Nigerias unity as they did in Biafra?

BH started like a house on fire bombing churches and mosques. In 2014, they changed tactics and started attacking military formation leading to a fullscale war with the NA. This is why i think its not a civil war. Nigeria is fighting what i would called a jihad.

Have you not heard that Boko Haram wants to turn Northern Nigeria to a complete independent Islamic state .

It isn't justifiable.

chatinent:



It isn't justifiable.

So are saying that the Biafrans war is justifiable.

vanunu:


So are saying that the Biafrans war is justifiable.

Yes Biafra and FH war is justifiable.

If u stand on a neutral ground without any bias, u will find out that though Fulani herdsmen name has been tarnished but most of them are killed due to hatred and revenge, ESN is also justifiable because they are somehow fighting for state right, even though their fight is kinda twisted with some elements of greed.
That is why we have ESN sympathizers and FH sympathizers that comes out in the open

BH on the other hand has no excuse here

Civil war is mostly fought by different tribes.

Northerners are only fighting themselves

vanunu:


So are saying that the Biafrans war is justifiable.

I only gave my renderings to the question. I neither support Biafra, Nigeria, or any terrorist group.

Op got me thinking on this

Boko haram proclamation is to have a Sharia Nigeria and are fighting to make all Nigerians subjects of Islamic caliphate. Is that not civil war?

One man's terrorist is another man freedom fighter

there lies the hypocrisy of the a biased failed nation.

BokoHaram will succeed in carving out a full caliphate from the northeast probably before 2023 - to be ruled by them alone implement full Islamic law and will have nothing to do with the Nigerian nation except trade - as they are already doing now.

BUT THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT DOESNT SEE THEM AS SECCESIONISTS BUT RATHER CLASSIFIED THEM AS JIHADISTS.

VERY FUNNY SHITHOLE ZOO.

But Buharia once came out openly and say that a fight against Boko Haram is a fight against the North.

Even Isa Pandemic also came out openly and said that he always have erection anytime non-Igbo believers are killed.
