BluntBoy:


And why do you think the Boko Haram insurgency is still dragging on? Because Amnesty International are monitoring for civilian casualties. Boko Haram knows this and are utilizing it by hiding among civilian population. If civilians are not being considered, Boko Haram would be history by now. 1 hour of air pounding would be enough and then foot soldiers to mop up pockets of insurgents would be even too much to end the insurgency.

The Nigerian Army doesn't have the capacity to truly maintain order and the integrity of the countries borders, this has been tested time and time again from the free handing of Bakassi from a so called giant to France's puppet, to Benin soldiers spilling into the western border.

Nigerians have already forgotten that it's the Nigerian Army that had caused Boko Haram to become the monster it is today by mishandling it in its infancy and by creating martyrs all over the place. I know in Nigeria everything is by force and by might so you're actually criticising human rights precautionary measures, but the majority of the military's work is supposed to be intelligence that prevents conflict, especially domestically. Countries around the world spend billions on their military yearly yet there is no major world war.

The Koreans do not back down, in the war with the US they said the Koreans would not stop coming, even with a small supply of munitions, as a soldier fell another would run and pick up their gun and continue charging at the enemy. They, North Korea, have one of the biggest militaries of the world and their country is a military state, the government would put all its might into decimating an enemy. North Korea has been preparing for an invasion for decades.

That's simply because they were holding back from adding to civilian casualties. North Korean would not care about civilians and would level Nigeria.

Politics / How The Legacy Of The War Still Affects The Southeast by ezeagu(m): 6:09am On Aug 18, 2017
Following the Nigeria-Biafra, the (former) Eastern Region never truly went back to the position it had in Nigeria as an equal foot of the so called tripod, in fact, Nigeria in whole never truly recovered from where it was left off. The eastern region lost any momentum it had in terms of development to keep it short which meant that even more people relied on other regions and to a certain extent still do, it is probably correct to say a chunk of the middle class of the eastern region lives in Lagos and Abuja and contributes in that way. Before the war, the Eastern Region was as diverse as the other regions, some of the census from before the war list Yoruba and Hausa ethnicity numbering up to 10% of the population of cities like Enugu for instance, the former capital, this was in addition to the firm footing the Eastern middle class had in places like Enugu, Owerri, Nsukka and Port Harcourt.



Nigeria: Background to Nationalism
By James Samuel Coleman
https://books.google.com/books?id=ZOgdDZlJqG8C&pg=PA334

The three years made a massive demographic and economic shift in the East, which has not rebounded, not only did people move out of the war ravaged East after the war to establish themselves in places like the then capital Lagos, thousands of brilliant easterners, many of them from the middle class as well, sought refuge during after the war in places like the United States, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea and Europe, this mass exodus contributed to the degeneration of the east into a sort of backwater that's been neglected under the post-war status quo which many of the defeated easterner allowed because they were simply okay with not being exterminated any further, plus the environment of successive military governments after the war, all of them non-Easterners, didn't allow for the sort of protests that are a little more accepted in this fourth republic.



Aba brewery, 1959. Simon Ottenberg.

The question is how would the East bounce back harder, not just a slow crawl. One of the solutions may be to acknowledge that the East is still recovering from the war in many ways, the biggest way is in the attitude from the central government towards the development of the region and the backwards way in which Eastern middle class and wealth, probably because the derivation from the federal government have been shfited from the east, is mostly situated outside of the East, especially in other areas of Nigeria. This isn't to say everybody with money of Eastern heritage to repatriate to the East, but that it would be better to form a voice to tackle the issues, both internal to the East and external, that make the place unsuitable for a thriving middle class.



Agricultural Show at Abakeleke (Abakiliki), Eastern Region, Nigeria. 1959-1960. Simon Ottenberg.

Other issues of the war was the refugee crisis and the fact that a lot of people born between 1945 and 1965 are suffering from post-war issues, whether it is unresolved personal issues relating to the suffering of the war, or direct issues relating to education (even with the 'good' examination scores turn out) and the regression of the society. The East used to be forward looking in terms of technology and knowledge, the university town of Nsukka had hosted some of the foremost brains in Africa including Christopher Okigbo, Chinua Achebe, artists like El Anatsui, Uche Okeke and so on.


In the Produce Market; women drying cereal http://amightytree.org/otu/

I think through that way, the middle class of the east can begin coming back and situating themselves in the homeland, this is not an exile after all. A lot of people talk about Enugu Airport, or ports, or even opening other airports, but those things will fail if the people who have the money, and in high numbers, do not actually need to use them apart from travelling back home for Christmas, death, or marriage. The average Easterner looks at their ancestral house like a holiday home instead of a permanent home, even in old age. There will be economic inequality, but that is what precedes a developed society. The run off of these people is what the East really needs, not even that much government intervention apart from the basic needs which are not met, but of course is there really a reason to meet this need if people with voice from the region are all in Abuja and Lagos? It is a question of which should come first, development or the push to move back, in any case, it should be people of the region, whether they live there or not, who should be the ones that have the mind to put their regions first.

ThatCEO:
I know it goes against logic n it makes no sense, but don't take a Nigerian woman overseas as a wife. Use the facts that you see and your brain, and play safe. Why?

1. You don't get to know the girl before marrying her. You marry based on recommendations and she will form the good girl until she crosses the border.

2. Some will say white girls can't cook Nigerian food. But YouTube has solved your problem, enough cooking videos. In fact, cooking used to top the list of skills I want in a wife, but I have since relegated it when I discovered that it is actually fun to cook.

3. Too much negative influence from families, unending requests, n juju. She also wants to show off to her friends that she is a happening girl in emelika. It is only in Nigeria that you meet a girl at 3am and you can't talk to her because she fit go change become Mami water or even ogbanje, but for outside, for wia

4. My people are naturally greedy and ungrateful. Better for an oyinbo girl to fxxk you up than a black girl who you have heavily invested in.

5. Don't carry a girl who hasn't seen correct money as an overseas wife. Money has a way of corrupting the soul especially in this current exchange rate cheesy


Or maybe just don't murder your wife.

Jew is an English or European form of the word Jehudim (Yehudim). Just like Yahweh became Jehovah, the Y in Yehudim became a J, so that even the Germans call the Jews Juden.

Just like Japan is Nippon in Japanese, Hungary is Magyarország and Germany is Deutschland.

So I don't really blame you. I don't think you get the point. The true Jews in the Bible, the Ancient Jews were Africans/ black people. We came to this world first and we controlled things.

Again, you're talking about the bible, which is a fictional text. When you stop basing your knowledge on fictional texts, like the bible, then you can begin to understand the history of the Middle East, or just reality and basic facts in general.

Egypt has a lot to do with it. If Egypt was a country with black people, then nobody has to tell you that the ancient Israelites were black. The Bible tells us Israelites were mistaken for Egyptians in many verses.

SJoseph, Moses, and Paul were mistaken for Egyptians which were black people?

Joseph: "And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt... And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him" (Genesis 42:3-cool.

Moses: "Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock. And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock. And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon to day? And they said, an Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds..." (Exodus 2:19).

Paul: "And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek? Art not thou (Paul) that Egyptian, which before these days madest an uproar... But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew" (Acts 21:37-39).

Jesus fled into Egypt, Pharaoh wasn't able to recognize Moses as an Israelite, when he ordered all Israelites first sons to be killed.

Now it's common sense. There's no how ancient Jews weren't black people if ancient Egyptians were black.

You're using bible quotes, and again, the bible is not a historical text. Besides, the world was not categorised by black and white back then as you can see from the interaction between Greece, Rome and Egypt. You guys wan to to claim Egypt as a glorious civilisation, while quoting the bible that says Jews built it. Again, even the Egyptians painted the Semites white. Genetics and archaeology already show who the ancient Canaanites were, they were not Africans.

Kill what argument? You still haven't addressed the fact that all these empires, Canaanites, Assyrians, Akkadians, Sumerians, Babylonians were never black. These are where the Ashkenazi Jewish DNA is partly matched to and in fact the Palestinians and Jews are mostly the same people. Just randomly calling people black doesn't change actual facts.
