This is an open secret. No serious person from the South East wants to be left with a country comprising of just Abia, Anambra, Enugu, Ebonyi and Imo. They can't afford to be foreigners in Lagos and Port Harcourt. As a matter of fact, most agitators funnily want Nigeria to annex places like Edo, Delta, Akwa Ibom, Rivers, and wonders believe you me, Lagos State, the promise land as biafro. These are the jokes on the table. Don't be whined.

OLAADEGBU:
Since you believe it is reprisal attacks, are you really saying Christians would shout “Praise the Lord!” and “alleluia!” after carrying out attacks on mosques and Muslims just as Muslims shout Allahu Akbar when they slaughter Christians?

Lol, i didn't believe they are reprisal attacks. Yes, there are places where ther've been reprisal attacks. Nigeria's security issue is not limited to reprisal attacks or christian persecution. It is hydra-headed, this is what i have consistently said. BTW, muslims make that statement even when killing chicken, ram or themselves but it's besides the issue.
On this, this will be my last explanation to you as regards this matter. Evidently, you have another opinion and i believe you are free to. We disagree on the cause of Nigeria's insecurity and that's fine. Time will probably reveal more. Thank you and God bless you for your time on this brother.

What does this piffle have to do with the topic?

Investors' confidence, what would you think?

OLAADEGBU:
Where are the Muslim communities that have been sacked or displaced? Why has there been no outcry if this truly happened?

But we are all aware of the over report over 2 million internally displaced in Nigeria. Majority of theses IDPs are muslims. i don't know the outcry you refer to. The whole country was well aware of the brutal attacks on places like Baga, Bama, Gwoza, and the emptying of Damasak, Banki, Gamboru Ngala, Monguno, Mafa, Dikwa and other Borno/Lake-Chad towns by BH and co. Zamfara, Sokoto, Katsina, Kebbi have seen towns and villages raided, burned or abandoned. Are these all cases that did not truly happen? These are all Nigerian citizens like i say, whatever religion they profess. These criminals don't mostly care. We are talking of people who allegedly value cow life more than theirs, not to mention other people. This we have known and said for decades. The sudden couple of days surge by mainly ipob sympathizers and the West makes it very suspect and the angle skewed. Like i continue to insist, there is no denying of the deaths and insecurity. The issue i have maintained remains same, it is not a christian thing but a national thing.

Nigeria’s Christian Genocide Needs To Be Stopped Are Being Killed By Jihadists | Zariyi Yusuf | Episode 21

Rather, killing of Nigerians needs to be stopped.

OLAADEGBU:
When the Fulani herdsmen shout Allahu Akbar! after carrying out their massacre on Christian communities as shown in the video clip below, doesn’t that mean that they are carrying out an Islamic Jihad?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exPvkJ2UubU?si=dLft1F3cMkpYDPgy

No, it likely shows they are religious extremists. Most muslims use the phrase or terms frequently. It's weird no doubt, but just as we use praise God and alleluia frequently. In the end, what most of them are after is economic conquest and dominion. They're not killing people for their faith. They care less in most cases. They care more about money, land and cows.

Resist Sowore and he will flee from you? No be this man talk say no retreat or surrender or something like that? Mr days of rage just love sightseeing Abuja with drama. Now, dem go start to accuse am from within.

i no fit laugh.

It's a good statement but the problem is some folks complained bitterly when Buhari said similar about rigging. Don't use double standards.

They have cloned him jooo.

This one is Al waleedun from Saudi Arabia

Take the news with a huge pinch of salt. We have two opposing sides capable of huge propaganda. i remember last year or so when a camp of losers swore to fill up our space with fake news, to keep government actively defending and explaining.

“We will start creating and distributing fake stories to paint Yoruba and Nigeria in bad light. We need to start the bigotry in full swing. Let Nigeria scatter, we are not interested in good governance.”

Lolz, all the actions of wailers and people who are negative about Nigeria and want Tinubu to fail, so they can say we told you nko?

OLAADEGBU:
What did think happened in the video clip posted above?

Killing of Nigerians. If farmers, it's most likely by herders. Their story is not one of holy war, but of ancient friction, colonial negligence, and modern desperation.

A) Resource Competition

For centuries, the Fulani have been nomadic pastoralists, journeying with their cattle across grazing routes in search of water and fresh pasture.
In contrast, the indigenous communities of the Middle Belt and southern regions are sedentary farmers, whose survival depends on fixed farmlands and planted boundaries.

Thus began a tension as old as time:

The herder’s cattle demand open grassland.

The farmer’s livelihood depends on fenced crops.

When cows stray into cultivated lands, tempers flare, and conflict ignites.
This is not a dispute born in 2009, nor even in the age of independence - it is a centuries-old struggle between mobility and settlement, between the moving herd and the rooted seed.

B) Colonial Policies and Land Ownership Conflicts

During the British colonial era (1900–1960), policies were crafted that deepened the rift.
While the colonial government recognized certain grazing routes for pastoralists, it failed to legalize them. Meanwhile, land tenure systems favoured farmers, granting ownership through customary law.

The result was a dangerous imbalance: herders had “access” but no “rights.”
They could pass through the land but never claim it - a ticking time bomb that has now exploded across generations.

Thus, the seed of discord was sown long before Nigeria’s independence - and today we harvest its bitter fruit.

C) Population Pressure and Climate Change

At independence in 1960, Nigeria’s population stood at about 45 million.
Today, we are over 220 million strong - a fivefold increase. More mouths to feed means more farms to cultivate, and more farms mean less open land to graze.

As if nature itself conspired in the crisis, climate change began to choke the North.
Lake Chad receded, grazing belts withered, and the Sahara crept southward, driving desperate herders into already crowded agricultural zones.

The result? A moving frontier of conflict, especially across Plateau, Benue, Nasarawa, Taraba, and Southern Kaduna - regions now etched in memory by tragedies like Agatu, Nimbo, Southern Kaduna, and Wukari.

Yet, beneath the smoke and blood, the motive remains economic, not religious.

I thank Holy Andromeda that I was delivered of living my relationships out on social media. How can an old man be airing his dirty linen in public like this??!!

Jesus did it.

People just like chasing clout.

Of course, who no fear Sowore

Lolz, lawyer telling us economy. Total no be foreigner. Brazil, France, India, Qatar no be foreigner.

HISSCRIBE1995:
Address the genocide allegation .
Is there a genocide against christians or not ?

No, there is no genocide against christians.

magoo10:
I no just get your time to argue so Christians full aso rock or those Muslim states he got reasonable votes?
Make una dey play hunger knows no religion or tribe.
Tell us something Christians pass Muslims for Lagos abi? Take your arguments to your mates

Exactly, no need or time to argue. God sparing our lives, when the results come, your lots will shout rigging as usual since you don't see.

magoo10:
Peter Obi thought them a political lesson in 2023 which they have failed to learn from.
He defeated tinubu in his backyard and defeated buhari in Aso Rock yet APC stooges continue to get hard on every decamp news.
Let alone when major opposition figures from the north and south rallies behind him tinubu is going to be fry before noon.

Lolz, you're not realistic. Obi got lots of votes from christian population who didn't want another muslim after 8years, with the fear of muslim muslim and co. That edge is out/canceled in the Northwest. Lagos, Rivers and FCT are also going to Tinubu, like 95% probability. Asides from the SE, there's nowhere else where Tinubu would not get great numbers.

They don't exactly need to. Most have decamped for their own gains, not to deliver for Tinubu. But definitely, Tinubu will get more ground and he's not losing much ground so far.
Most people who didn't vote for him from the north will vote for him. Also, many of the 'christian' votes who were skeptical in 2023 will vote for him. Also, rigging against him will reduce.

HISSCRIBE1995:
What are you saying ?

Are christians getting killed or not ?

Please address the issue first before any other thing

Nigerians are getting killed, these are the issues.

Freshandfitpod:
I'm Muslim and islam endore all terrorists group but we lie and gaslight people to not question our motive.

Errrm, okay/

And you expect those people shouting biafar to give up? this is what they want, Lagos not biafar.

Lolz, you probably don't know Uma Ukpai. What part is unbelievable there? Are you aware Ukpai's ministry own hospitals? Do you know that his doctor will likely be a member of his ministry or his employee? Are you aware that even some pastors with lesser influence, if they carry your wife and children, you'll even be saying AMEN.
Not saying it's right or wrong but very possible.
i wonder what you'll say of Ananias and Sapphira in the Bible that they buried within minutes. Maybe you would have been there shouting like Sowore and those online lawyers.

Dr Uma Ukpai. Wonderful man of faith, rest well Sir.

All that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. It's non negotiable

But we go sing on your mandate every morning for our school.

Sowore and his hustle. Na wa. He should know that this one is the smallest step na. If not for Tinubu, Wike for use your bum blow trumpet for national anthem.

No be dangote dem talk say no wan employ Nigerians wey do union?
Your jeans and loafers no be made in Nigeria. Phone and laptop nko?

hegelian:
Your whole post ignored the religious persecution and here you are already acknowledging it again.. Double mouth, double soul.. Una don sell una soul for politics and hatred that all you think about is how to feel good cheating others

No one is denying religious persecution. According to the Bible, anywhere there is godliness, there is persecution. Do you believe that?
There are places where people are killed, threatened, harassed, mocked, denied, imprisoned, etc., for Christ in Nigeria and all over the world. But to now carry all of Nigeria's hydra-headed security problems and tag them as christian genocide is what is wrong, mischievous and misguided. You likely do not understand the politics at play, or you're one of those whose candidates lost election and would rather the country burn since you cannot have it. People like me would not sit by and watch that idly.

Gboss247:
If you were paid attention economics class, you will know that more money decreases the purchasing power and makes the population more poorer than it was.

Lolz. So when your salary increases, your purchasing power decreases and you are more poor than it was. What sort of blank is this?

Tayorshd87:
With all you mentioned oga not all criminals or theirs they are able to catch too in US and UK that have it all .

Don't be a dullard and don't let them lie to you.

No where is safe 109% in the world 🌎

Go and find out and kiss the truth

i didn't say anywhere is 100% safe, but we'd be much safer if we had these. Crime will not go on unabated, more lives will be saved and criminals punished. You are like saying we should not have better healthcare or education since people still die in hospitals in the US and UK.
