Prayers can not save Nigeria if a president undermines the federal system of government.



Why did this lead to the current conflict?
The TPLF, which remained in power in Tigray, saw Abiy’s centralising “pan-Ethiopian” politics as undermining the country’s federal system and its delicate ethnic balance. Abiy, in turn, accused the Tigrayans of brazenly defying the authority of central government – notably by holding elections in September despite a national postponement initiated on account of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Some clowns are always beating the drums of war.

It's not a pleasant thing and the aftermath may take decades to clean up.

Oh mama Africa!

When there is inequality & no justice, crisis/war is inevitable. And during war, expect the unexpectables! Human life is reduced to nothing!



“Ethiopian and Eritrean troops have been accused of using rape as a weapon of war. “Rape is starting at the age of eight and to the age of 72,” an Ethiopian nun told The Guardian. “It is so widespread, I go on seeing it everywhere... This rape is in public, in front of family, husbands, in front of everyone.” Finally, fields, food stores and irrigation systems have also been destroyed.”

Ethiopia and Nigeria have one thing in common. Islam vs christain.

the oromo people are Muslims, they are the majority.

while the Tigray are christains, they are like a dot in a circle.

so the oromo president Abiy Ahmed decided to talk to them in a language they would understand. he turned off internet service in the region since the war started.

They don't have state, they have region, based on the tribe. the Tigray were the minority ruling a Muslim majority tribe.


The Amhara and the oromo people have a common enemy . they have decided to commit a genocide by wiping off the Tigray people.
If this story is true......I can't help but wonder why Christians and Muslims can't leave in oeace? Why tribes can put understanding before sentiment..


This is sad!!

It will help dilute a lot of the petty, tribalistic nonsense that Africans seem privy to if there is more movement between places and a realization that the differences are relatively minor.

It's the African Sahel where people had to fend off Arabs and Islamized Africans. The people in that region subsequently acquired some very unhealthy survival habits that they have tried to push onto the rest of the continent.

Exactly, I said this on my post that first, Africans need to fix their ethnic rationality. No major ethnic group will be happy to be dominated. It is like the French dominating the English or the Scotish. This will surely cause war.

I read about the UK union of 4 nations and I was amazed at the contents that I read. The Scotish were a bit scared of joining the union at first becus they didnt want to be dominated by the English. But a proper system was put in place to reduce this. That is why the nations that make up the UK have their own culture, religion, national identity and even national sporting teams. It is a global fear: ethnic domination is a global fear and the best thing to do is to run a system that will not give any major ethnic group opportunity to dominate others. Buhari could have pushed us into war becus he came in with complete ethnic bias in place and pushed his tribe to rule over others in Nigeria.

Things like this can cause war in a fragile country like Nigeria. Africa will never know peace if she doesnt run a political system that grants major ethic groups complete national identity, same as minor ethnic group. The current prime minister of Ethiopa caused this rubbish. He came in with ethnic domination mindset. I dont know what is wrong with blacks. It was later that I read and understood the type of agreement Monaco has with France. That is it. Let nation building be based on agreement that can be reviewed and let these ethnic groups enjoy political national identity. Europe did a great job in managing their ethnicity, especially, western Europe and that is why u see peace and stability there. They used to fight before and the wars were mainly all about ethnic domination.

Africans dont want to hear the truth. We need to grant ethnic groups national identity to help grow Africa. Look at this war in Ethiopia will take another 30 years to fix. This is why Africa is so backward. Sudan fought war for 28 years to free south sudan. Come on, why all these madness? come on, Africa. What is all these?

Why always the North

Tigray, Ethiopia’s northernmost region, has often been a focal point for disputes. It is home to seven million people out of Ethiopia’s 112 million: Tigrayans are the nation’s third largest ethnic group (the two largest, the Oromo and the Amhara, make up more than 60%). They have a strong local Orthodox Christian identity, and a strong sense of grievance against central government.

IPOB should take note. If you don't have what it takes to win a war. Don't start it! Many are counting on the intervention of foreign bodies should armed conflicts arise in Nigeria. But from the look of things nobody is interested in that. The most USA et al would do is to place a kind of sanction on Nigeria or any other part of the country that's having an upper hand in the conflict.

o
my brother war between biafra and nigeria 2021 will be very different from 1967 ooo

one is Northerners will not get the support of yoruba or edo even middle belt self will join biafra

The Oromo are 55% muslim , 40 % Christian and the rest traditonalist

However most of the christians and Muslims follow traditionalist beliefs on the side especially the rural dwellers.
