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


fulani don show us pepper we don wise!

Regardless.

The point is that if you are not as equipped as your enemy in battle, don’t fight him.

At this point, can we say we have the resources to wage a full blown war against the Nigerian state? We don’t.

What you don't know is that foreign power don't go to where they don't have interest.

It's their interest first. If they have to fight your war. You will pay billions for it.

Then how are you going to fight the north? Are you going to take over the middle belt states to reach the north? How ? Who are the middle belt? You dont share border with the core north yet you keep talking war between Biafra and the north. Are you nyamiri people going to take over your imaginary middle belt states to be able to reach the north and fight?

These are the effects of inequalities and injustices by the Tigrays on the other tribes when their wear in power. Their leaders were sharing positions amongst them neglecting other tribes forgetting that power is transient. Hope all parties can find a middle ground to all this issues.k1666

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.

Mumu you think 1967 is 2021 Nigerian soldier’s have never fought any war before, Britain,Egypt and Russia Fought Biafra for 3 years and you think that would happen again? Better Wake up.

If this story is true......I can't help but wonder why Christians and Muslims can't leave in peace? Why tribes can put understanding before sentiment..


This is sad!!
I don't think the conflict is one of religion.

The president himself is a Christian, from a Muslim Christian family.

Seems more tribal if anything.

As to why Muslims and Christians more often find it difficult to live with one another, it's simple, clear lines need to be drawn when it comes to religious matters.
Because eventually one of religions is going to try to dominate the other, because they see their way as the righteous way and the other's as misguided.

And many youths in Nigeria are agitating war.
If they know how gory the previous civil war was, none would ever wished for it.
The truth is that, the people inciting war are cooling themselves off in Europe and America while the doodies are killing themselves here in Naija.
PEACEFUL DIALOGUE AND RESOLUTION OF CONFLICT IS ALL WE NEED. AND OUR LEGISLATORS OWE US THIS!

Your kind still living in olden days. Igbo is scattered all over the world, you can't do anything to them. You can secretly massacre the youths but when you try it openly you buy market . So change your mindset and stop wishing people who don't care about you destruction.

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.



Lol. This analysis is all wrong.


First, Ethiopia is a Christian majority nation 60%: 30%

2nd, Amharas and Tigrayans are Christians

3rd, Oromo and Somali are the only Muslim majority region in Ethiopia. Even Oromo is 40% Christian


4th, Abiy Ahmed Ali is a Pentecostal Christian, not a Muslim


5th, Muslims are the historically marginalized religion in Ethiopia even today; though there's been a brief reprieve under Abiy



The conflict is more of a tribal one.


I think the TPLF made a mistake first by defiantly conducting elections and attacking a military base

Abiy on the other hand, should discharge Eritrean troops and Amhara militias...

Christianity is about 3x of Islam in Ethiopia. The oromo are predominantly Christians.

Those being influenced by foreign detractors should think twice and resolve to peaceful negotiation rather than war because war is not beautiful. When it starts, those urging you on would run away with their families abroad while they leave you here to die. So, shine your eyes!

It's like the game of the thrones bro.
There are kings in the north.....
Even from bible times, they have been ravaging.

Daniel 11:13
For the king of the North will again raise a greater multitude than the former, [/b]and after an interval of some years he will press on with a great army and much equipment


Isaiah 14:31
“Wail, O gate; cry, O city;
Melt away, O Philistia, all of you;
[b]For smoke comes from the north
,
And there is no straggler in his ranks.

Jeremiah 1:13-14

Yoruba people and northern people should be ready for igbo refugees in the future.

There was no single igbo refugee in Yoruba land or up north or even in Cameroon during the biafran war, igbos lived and died on their lands, we are not like Yorubas and northerners currently in refugee camps in Benin republic , Niger republic , Cameron and Chad because on common bandits and Boko harram

Stop saying what you don't know, the Oromo people are more than 60 percent Christian and on a general level; Christians are the majority in Ethiopia

You think the Igbos of today are same in Ojukwu era? Think very very well! I am any Igbo man or related to one but I can tell the day Buhari choose to declare an all out war against Igbos. All other two region will descend on the North and it’s military forces. Mark these words today!
