So genocide is now ok as long as the people at the recieving end are the wrong race and ethnicity.
Thank you.
Only revisionists use certain English words in useless manner. Gaza is not a country and does not have an army. Hamas are so-called Palestinians and vice versa. It is unacceptable in human nature for a bunch of terrorists and landgrabbers to brave into a country and wantonly lay siege on the society by killing and maiming women and children. Gaza does not belong to refuges com so-called Palestinians.
Gistsnaijamedia: I just finished reading Femi Fani Kayode’s accusations of Ndi Igbo. You know that what gives them orgasm is the mention of Igbo and Biafra. For a very long time people have been ignoring Kayode even with his huge 1.3 million followers on X. Today, he wants to trend using Igbo.
Fani Kayode has accused the Igbo people of supporting Israel against Gaza. Ndi Igbo did not take a side in the Israeli-Gaza war. No Igbo group leader has commented on this war. IPOB on the other hand has not supported anyone, rather they asked them to end the bloodshed. So where is Femi Fani Kayode getting his accusation from?
Ndigbo must support Israel because Gaza is not a country but a den of Arab terrorists, landgrabbers and blackmailers. Femi Fani Kayode is a fraud who has always stood historical facts on their heads.
There is no doubt about what needs to be done. What needs to be done is that the war must be ended and internationally recognized borders agreed upon by the UN more than by the belligerents. In the olden days when borders are to be determined for administrative purposes, they would agree to set out on a particular day and wherever they meet will be the border. Very convenient. Anyone altering it would be inviting aggression. Therefore whatever third parties agree are the borders for Gaza, West bank and Israel should be taken like that by all parties since that ancient method can not be used in their case.. Reports say over thirty thousand people have been killed. Any country with an organized military close enough can end the war but they will need to notice the rest of the world and possibly obtain permission, notice the belligerent groups and if they can not end the war by themselves within the stipulated time then the benevolent nation would be obliged to march on the place and they will be applauded by the rest of the world. They will have to stay there and establish borders and also bill the beneficiaries. Turkey or Egypt or a combination of both can easily do it. They are the best bet.
UN, in 1947 through resolution 181, settled the issue yet a third party, the Arabs and Muslims, objected to the boundaries set by the resolution and declared war against the Jewish State. It is unfortunate people seem to pick and choose historical events that suit their fraudulent narratives.
Fineman2: I really don't like creating threads that will cause unnecessary fight but I've carefully studied and monitored events in Benue for some time.
What baffles me the most sometimes is the negative comments from some Igbos saying Benue people are reaping what they planted during the civil war because they helped the Nigerian government, it is one nonsense story almost every Igbo person knows.
Firstly, During the Biafra war, Benue and the entire middle belt was under the control of the Nigerian government with military administrators fully in charge, so how do you expect Benue people serving in the army not to fight with the central government.
Secondly, did ojukwo consult Benue people before going into war? Did he mention Benue as part of Biafra during his speech?
Thirdly, why are they so fixated on Benue than the rest of the middle belt?
Lastly, Is General Yakubu Gowon from Benue state? The man that fought against you
The lack of humanity in these people is truly horrifying, the same way they are supporting the massacre of innocent Palestinians in Gaza but they are always quick to report Nigerian military to ICC for trying to weed out IPOB.
During the last election, Benue, plateau and several states in the middle belt supported Mr Obi and the labour party including my family and myself, in Benue APC won with a difference of just 2k votes, maybe through rigging with the help of Akume the current SGF.
We could've supported Tinubu or Atiku, but we didn't because we believe in Obi more than the rest of the candidates.
My Igbos brothers should get that nonsense story off their heads and stop creating more enemies for themselves, you can't be fighting every other tribe and region and then expect them to support you during elections.
They must learn how to build bridges of love.
IPOB has killed more people in south east than Fulani herdsmen in Benue, it's either they sympathize with Benue people or they keep their mouths shut and avoid such threads completely.
For Benue people, I think they should stop supporting south east thinking they are brothers, they should just remain neutral and stick to middle belt region.
We pray for good leaders that will do things right and change the minds of our people, not tribalistic leaders.
Once again, there's freedom of expression in our constitution, so nobody should get mad at me for speaking my mind.
I also expect them to report this thread, but my message would have been passed by then.
Please leave Benue people alone.
You seriously deserved to be abused especially being an ill-informed Nigerian. Why would Ojukwu consult people who have already killed Ndigbo and Easterners during the pogrom in northern region of Nigeria? One of the reasons which spurred the January 15,1966 Coup was political riot of 1964 in Middlebelt of Nigeria dubbed TIV riot. Most active actors in the massacre of Ndigbo and Easterners in 1966 hailed from Benue/Plateau axis.
Blazebond: Nobody foolish reach igbo people for this country,them dey always feel as if the country need them, in their ignorance they don't know that it is the other way round,they need Nigeria more than Nigeria needs them and before you begin to vibrate in una usual stupidity let me tell you that a producer or marketer of goods and services needs a huge population to deliver and render those goods and services to,what is their population in the south-east? You ignorant people don't know that you need the Nigerian population seriously but una dey allow Una mumu ipob rhetorics dey deceive una.
Zxcvbnmghtr: The simple TRUTH is, things would have been the hardest, worst had it been Peter Obi or Atiku is the President. That's the TRUTH. To be honest, Nigeria is lucky not have made a wrong choice. Thank God for Tinubu.
No pain no gain. Nigerians are not yet ready. Always looking for short cuts to success. All that is happening is only a part of the process that will inevitably lead to a very lasting prosperity but Nigerians are not ready. You think China became a prosperous country over night. Lol We are in the stage of inflation which is expected and which afterwards things will stabilize. But Nigerians are not ready.
The bolded in above post is an idiotic stream of thought which only delusional Nigerian can formulate.
The original post is pure typical and idiotic Nigerian analysis. Unlike Lagos, most states are not city on Nigerian steroid. Most states in Nigeria did not benefit from being capital of Nigeria.
modernWays: Lolz, wasted effort, he should have rather done that in pigin because an average Igbo kid don't like speaking their language, let alone reading it in textbook.
Igbos, especially those living outside South East should try to preserve their language by speaking it to their children.
ganye1: Condemnation of atrocities being committed by the isareli state is not wrong at all. We cannot keep mute when the state of Israel attacks children, women, hospitals, schools, residential buildings.
Those who tiptoe around the truth are merchants of war!!!! The above post is stereotypical crap informed by Arab's propaganda.
You guys are either automated bots or willfully ignorant of history that has played out time and time again.
Kill and displace the local population as much as you can, deny them basic economic and human rights, and usurp all economic opportunities to your race - and in half a century time or so hold aborigins remembrance days, enact affirmative actions laws that give rights to children of minority (that u deliberately created) and make sure corporations sing slogans of "no to racism", "equal rights for aborigins " etc
We have seen this template before - America, South Africa, Canada, Australia, Chile, Panama etc
Why do people who are ignorant of a fact remain the first to refer to anybody as ignorant? There was nothing such as Palestine until 1922.
I had my soft spot for Julius Malema until now. Julius Malema, you got this Palestine crap all wrong. The so-called Palestine started in 1922 and ended 1947. Anybody who idiotically claimed to be Palestinian is a freaking refugee and land grabber.
Oyigbo isthe original name of the landowners who are from Eleme/Ogoni axis
Ibos under Azikiwe used their numbers and domineering attitude to change the name in the first republic
Sanity has been restored
Obigbo was NEVER part of Imo state
That is another IPOB lie
Gowon was not even in power in1976
Ogoni had been under Calabar province while Eleme was under Ahoada division of Owerri province. Eleme is not Ogoni. At least, you were correct about Gowon and 1976. It was idiotic Obasanjo regime.
If Nigeria 'breaks', do you think it will just be a peaceful parting of ways in which nobody's life is disrupted?
If that is what you think, think again.
There will be MASSIVE social disruption and humanitarian crises. Millions of people now based in various parts of Nigeria that are not their states of origin will be categorised as illegal aliens overnight, uprooted, and forced to return 'home'.
Refugee crises would ensue all over the place. Businesses would be lost. Crime would skyrocket. Localised conflicts over access to land by new immigrants would lead to the rise of warlords, and massive bloodshed.
It would be absolutely catastrophic.
I think those who do not want Nigeria to ''break'' are people with common sense, intelligence and foresight, and those who wish the country to break are thoughtless, ignorant, dumb, visionless fools with no common sense. And ironically, this group will feel the pain of that national splintering more than anyone else, since they are the ones settled in various regions across the country in their millions, and will have their lives and livelihoods completely destroyed in the mayhem.
Anybody who slightly thinks Nigeria is peaceful as presently configured remains a dumbass goon. Disintegration has its checks and balances. Czechoslovakia disintegrated into two countries nobody heard about this moronic "There will be MASSIVE social disruption and humanitarian crises". The fear about disintegration of Nigeria is generated by fearmongers who think Africans cannot handle their problems.
Successdude: I've noticed that some people visibly fear so much the breaking f Nigeria. You see it in their comments here on nairaland or posts on social media, no matter how they tend to veil that visible panick.
And one wonders what could be the reason. Like I don't get why such heightened fear.
What are your thoughts ?
Nigeria is fraudulent project inhabited by majority of fraudulent fools. They know the idea of disintegration of the shithole called Nigeria is a death warrant.
fineboynl: Why muslim are wicked to one another? Even with pressure from international community Egypt refuse to open their border for people fleeing gaza. But yet Europe keep accommodating them and they are causing problem there. Could it be muslim are see something the none muslim country mot seeing in muslim refugees?
Egyptians knew very well the so-called Palestinians are fundamental refugees who are also land grabbers. Egypt captured Gaza in 1948 from young and new Jewish country called Israel. Today, nobody tends to mention Egypt in the political saga.
danvon: Do they have a suitable facility to test Uranium?
Do they have enough scientists that studied nuclear science and can help them utilize Nuclear Energy?
What is their next plan exactly?
I see them depending on another Western or Eastern power.
You should have closed down your level of the knowledge by sticking with the caption of your thread. I guess there is a difference between $243 an ounce and $11.
It is only when people are unrepentantly ignorant, shallow minded and extreemely desperate that they sound the way you do and unfortunately, over 80% of Igbo people sound like you. Ikwerre language is not an Igbo dialect unless you want us to believe that Igbo language is a dialect of Ikwerre or maybe even Yoruba. All over the world, there are similarities in languages but it doesn't give any people the right to claim that other people's language is yours. Unfortunately for you folks, you can not change the fact that Ikwerre is one of the over 300 Ethnic groups recognised in Nigeria. You may get yourself a little enlightened with the similarities in various languages as shown below, maybe it would help get you out of your delusion. YOU DON'T TELL PEOPLE WHO THEY ARE, RATHER PEOPLE TELL YOU WHO THEY ARE AND, YOU TELL THEM WHO YOU ARE. You are not Ikwerre so it's time you start talking about who you are, and leave them to tell their own story.

You seemed to be cleaver by deceit else you wrote Ikwerre as people. The word "Ikwerre" is anglicized and means nothing intelligible.
I guess there is "Chi" in the name too. Similarity in written words does not change the nativity. Nna, Nda and Tee have the same intelligible meaning in Igbo.
It is Akpa in Igbo. Akpo, in some dialect of Igbo, is a human skin.
