If the US can block arms shipments to the Nigerian Army over serious concerns of extrajudicial Killings and human rights violation in the quest to dislodge boko haram terrorists is it a genocidal war over oil in t Niger Delta that they will support?

Shell BP is no fair weather ally to the nigerian central govt.

Shell has the unenviable position of being one of the longest operational oil companies in Nigeria with a pox marked history of aiding and abating corruption and their total disregard for both the welfare and environment of the indeginious people.

For shell to shut down completely all operations in nigeria shows they are not in anyway going to support any military action in the region in the name of fighting militancy.

Shell is also a multi-billion dollar cooperation that will still be eyeing the huge energy reserves in the Delta and with their money and lobby groups in the West, they can easily see to a permanent solution to the constant militancy plaguing the Niger Delta even to the point of supporting autonomy for the Niger Delta.
PoliticsImplications Of Shell Shutting Down Operations In Nigeria by MossadAgent(op):
This is a clear sign that no multinational company will want to do business with the genocidal APC led govt as this will not be good for their image.

Shell was heavily indicted in the Ogoni crisis which saw Nigerian Soldiers pillage Ogoni land and testified as well in Ken Saro-Wiwa's trial by a kangaroo military Tribunal.

This alone should send signals to those aggitating for another war for oil in the South that it is no longer business as usual.

Why will any oil company risk further bashing of their battered image brand?

On the international scene, I foresee western nations backing any secessionist movement in both the Niger Delta and Biafra as it will be much easier, cheaper and morally expedient to support genuine seccession than support a brutal corrupt central govt of one Nigeria.

This is not 1967 and the world is very much aware of the atrocious civil war waged to keep Nigeria one.

If buhari still has sense in his head he should dust up the confab report and genuinely start the process of its implementation.

That alone can buy Nigeria some extra decades as one nation.

PoliticsReminder That The Current Amir Of Kano Instigated A Religious Riot by MossadAgent(op): 12:34pm On Jun 04, 2016
Reminder that the current Amir of Kano was found guilty by a panel setup during the Abacha era to investigate perpetrators and instigators of a religious riot in Kano which was sparked off by the false allegation that an Igbo preacher's wife used the pages of the Koran as toilet paper.

The preacher was summarily executed by an irate mob and his head stuck on a spike and paraded round the city. The mob will then set their sights on attacking non Muslims .

Sanusi Lamido was the architect of this riot as he wanted Abacha to depose off the late Emir Ado Bayero for not keeping the peace from where he hoped he will ascend the throne.


All his fellow conspirators were executed by hanging but Sanusi was spared after much pressure from the Kano elite begging Abacha to spare his life being that he is of royalty.


Sanusi will spend some time in Sokoto prison before being exiled to Sudan where he became more radicalized mingling with characters like Osama bin Laden.

The man Sanusi has been a rampaging fantic since his early days at the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria as he is one of the co founders of the violent radical Muslim Student Society, MSS.

The MSS staged series of violent riots both on campus and outside demanding that sharia law among others must be included in the 1979 constitutional draft. The group destroyed and vandalized school properties and even attacked fellow students of southern extraction only to later then seek sanctuary in a mosque.

No be today that boko don start.

I am not disputing the possibilities of another Islamic war against Christians in Nigeria or the world over, but all I am saying is this: Muslims should not expect a win-win war like the Armenian own....war is not just won by number of soldiers you have now....but through intelligence gathering and technological might, and these two war tools belong to the Christians even in Nigeria.

Northern Nigeria dominated by Muslims have population, but mostly of uneducated, unrefined and unintelligent youths who just take command and rush to war front with sticks, dagars, knives, machetes, guns and what have you....they don't fight with intelligence....so wait until full war is declared.

You can't compare the war-readiness of the northern Nigeria by the rate at which their illiterate youths take up arms to attack and kill unarmed innocent villagers and people going about their businesses without expecting war.

You can only know who will win when the real war breaks out...by then, you will see the demon, the vulture and the ghost in other tribes and regions, so don't panic even though your write-up calls for some caution from the Christians in political power, well done smiley

Very thought-provoking articles....the problem is, Christian teachings and doctrines preaches peace a lot, even in death, and this owe tribute to the ways and teachings of Jesus Christ which Christians strive to emulate in their daily life and dealings with people.

If not for the way Christianity changes Christians' mentality and mindset to always preach peace and embrace love, I can guarantee you that no religion or people can challenge the Christians because Christian countries and regions are the power house and technology pivot of the whole world.

But then, what happened to Armenians, Asyrians and ancient Christians can't happen now...Muslims can't dare it in this modern age because ISIS that tried something similar in their own country and territories couldn't stand the heat...right now, they (ISIS) are now using children and women to shield themselves as Syrian soldiers backed by USA, UK, Russia and other Christian countries are about to annihilate them.

Have you heard of the Iman Mahdi and his influence on the rising Muslim apocolyptic jihad?

The jihadist moment in this decade is totally driven by divine call and not political like in the 80's.


Muslims believe they are in the end times and are awaiting the arrival of their Iman Mahdi to lead them into global domination and conquest.


I am not making this up.

Do a little research on it.


While the Muslims that committed these artrocities on their fellow citizens back in 1915 where driven by socio-economic and political gain, the Muslims today fighting in ISIS and Boko Haram are inspired by a dark apocalyptic vision that Islamic domination is about to commence.


The Fulani terrorists are not neccessarily killing and raping their way across the middle belt and south all because of grazing rights but because in mosques and Madrasses across the north are preaching of the arrival of the Iman Mahdi.

This is not limited to the pleb class of almajiris but rather is streaming down from those in high authority and power in the north which includes the likes (but not limited to) Amirs, Governors, ministers , scholars , clerics , politicians and even military officers.

Today, as Turkey continues moving back to reclaiming its Islamic heritage, so too has Christian persecution returned.  If Turks taunted their crucified Armenian victims by saying things like “Now let your Christ come and help you,” just last January, an 85-year-old Christian Armenian woman was repeatedly stabbed to death in her apartment, and a crucifix carved onto her naked corpse.   Another elderly Armenian woman was punched in the head and, after collapsing to the floor, repeatedly kicked by a masked man.   According to the report, “the attack marks the fifth in the past two months against elderly Armenian women,” one of whom lost an eye.  Elsewhere, pastors of church congregations with as little as 20 people are targeted for killing and spat upon in the streets.  A 12-year-old Christian boy was beaten by his teacher and harassed by students for wearing a cross around his neck, and three Christians were “satanically tortured” before having their throats slit for publishing Bibles.

Outside of Turkey, what is happening to the Christians of today from one end of the Muslim world to the other is a reflection of what happened to the Armenian Christians of yesterday.   We can learn about the past by looking at the present.  From Indonesia in the east to Morocco in the west, from Central Asia in the north, to sub-Sahara Africa—that is, throughout the entire Islamic world—Muslims are, to varying degrees, persecuting, killing, raping, enslaving, torturing and dislocating Christians. 

Here is one relevant example to help appreciate the patterns and parallels: in Muslim-majority northern Nigeria, Muslims, led by the Islamic organization, Boko Haram (“Western Education is Forbidden”) are waging a bloody jihad on the Christian minorities in their midst.  These two groups—black Nigerian Muslims and black Nigerian Christians—are identical in all ways except, of course, for being Muslims and Christians.  And what is Boko Haram’s objective in all this carnage?  To cleanse northern Nigeria of all Christians—a goal rather reminiscent of Ottoman policies of cleansing Turkey of all Christians, whether Armenian, Assyrian, or Greek.

How does one explain this similar pattern of Christian persecution—this desire to be cleansed of Christians—in lands so different from one another as Nigeria and Turkey, lands which share neither race, language, nor culture, which share only Islam?  Meanwhile, the modern Islamic world’s response to the persecution of Christians is identical to Turkey’s response to the Armenian Genocide: Denial.

Finally, to understand how the historic Armenian Genocide is representative of the modern day plight of Christians under Islam, one need only read the following words written in 1918 by President Theodore Roosevelt—but read “Armenian” as “Christian” and “Turkish” as  “Islamic”:

the Armenian [Christian] massacre was the greatest crime of the war, and the failure to act against Turkey [the Islamic world] is to condone it… the failure to deal radically with the Turkish [Islamic] horror means that all talk of guaranteeing the future peace of the world is mischievous nonsense.
PoliticsRe: Picture Of The Day! 1915 Crucifixion Of Armenian Christian Girls by MossadAgent(op): 11:04am On Jun 04, 2016
War, of course, is another factor that clouds the true face of the Armenian genocide.  Because these atrocities occurred during WWI, so the argument goes, they are ultimately a reflection of just that—war, in all its chaos and destruction, and nothing more.  Yet Winston Churchill, who described the massacres as an “administrative holocaust,” correctly observed that “The opportunity [WWI] presented itself for clearing Turkish soil of a Christian race.”  Even Adolf Hitler had pointed out that “Turkey is taking advantage of the war in order to thoroughly liquidate its internal foes, i.e., the indigenous Christians, without being thereby disturbed by foreign intervention.”

There is no denying that religion—or in this context, the age-old specter of Muslim persecution of Christian minorities—was fundamental to the Armenian Genocide.  Even the most cited factor, ethnic identity conflict, while legitimate, must be understood in light of the fact that, historically, religion—creed—accounted more for a person’s identity than language or heritage.   This is daily demonstrated throughout the Islamic world today, where Muslim governments and Muslim mobs persecute Christian minorities—minorities who share the same ethnicity, language, and culture, who are indistinguishable from the majority, except, of course, for being non-Muslims.

If Christians are thus being singled out today—in our modern, globalized, “humanitarian” age—are we to suppose that they weren’t singled out a century ago by Turks?

Similarly, often forgotten is the fact that non-Armenians under Turkish hegemony, Assyrians and Greeks for example, were also targeted for cleansing.   The only thing that distinguished  Armenians, Assyrians, and Greeks from Turks was that they were all Christian.  As one Armenian studies professor asks, “If it [the Armenian Genocide] was a feud between Turks and Armenians, what explains the genocide carried out by Turkey against the Christian Assyrians at the same time?”
PoliticsRe: Picture Of The Day! 1915 Crucifixion Of Armenian Christian Girls by MossadAgent(op): 11:01am On Jun 04, 2016
Today, April 24, marks the “Great Crime,” that is, the Armenian genocide that took place under Turkey’s Islamic Ottoman Empire, during and after WWI.  Out of an approximate population of two million, some 1.5 million Armenians died. If early 20th century Turkey had the apparatuses and technology to execute in mass—such as 1940s Germany’s gas chambers—the entire Armenian population may well have been annihilated.  Most objective American historians who have studied the question unequivocally agree that it was a deliberate, calculated genocide:

More than one million Armenians perished as the result of execution, starvation, disease, the harsh environment, and physical abuse.  A people who lived in eastern Turkey for nearly 3,000 years [more than double the amount of time the invading Islamic Turks had occupied Anatolia, now known as “Turkey”] lost its homeland and was profoundly decimated in the first large-scale genocide of the twentieth century.  At the beginning of 1915 there were some two million Armenians within Turkey; today there are fewer than 60,000….  Despite the vast amount of evidence that points to the historical reality of the Armenian Genocide, eyewitness accounts, official archives, photographic evidence, the reports of diplomats, and the testimony of survivors, denial of the Armenian Genocide by successive regimes in Turkey has gone on from 1915 to the present.

Today, Turkey is 100% Muslim.

If anyone tells you that no one can Islamize Nigeria then that person is highly deluded.


Jihad is just the first step to colonizing and conquering . This they have done effectively in the north and middle belt and are currently asserting their terror grip once more with groups like boko haram in the Christian NE and Fulani jihadist in the middle belt.


The next step is to make sharia law supreme which they are doing silently in the national assembly.


Once that becomes successful then as a non Muslim you automatically become a 2nd tier citizen and your rights denied.

The accounts of the atrocities committed against the Armenians is as brutal and disgusting as any you have heard about from Hitler’s attempts to exterminate the Jews from Germany and the world. Small children and old people were marched over mountains and in circles, without food and water, literally until they died. Young Christian girls were defiled by the Turkish soldiers. There are reports that many killed themselves after being raped. The barbaric treatment of the Armenian women went even further.

On page 96 we see the following image on the Armenians being crucified by Turcs.



Figure 6: Crucified Armenian women in the area of the Der-es-Zor.

https://www.turkishnews.com/en/content/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/image007.jpg

In his post on the genocide, (The Forgotten Genocide: Why It Matters Today) Raymond Ibrahim recounted the story of a woman who claimed to have witnessed the brutal crucifixion of 16 young girls.

In her memoir, Ravished Armenia, Aurora Mardiganian described being raped and thrown into a harem (which agrees with Islam’s rules of war).  Unlike thousands of other Armenian girls who were discarded after being defiled, she managed to escape. In the city of Malatia, she saw 16 Christian girls crucified: “Each girl had been nailed alive upon her cross, spikes through her feet and hands, only their hair blown by the wind, covered their bodies.”  Such scenes were portrayed in the 1919 documentary film Auction of Souls, some of which is based on Mardiganian’s memoirs.
PoliticsRe: Picture Of The Day! 1915 Crucifixion Of Armenian Christian Girls by MossadAgent(op): 10:45am On Jun 04, 2016
1912-13 had the Turks losing huge chunks of their land to Christian regions that were breaking away. Greece, Bulgaria, and Serbia were all successful in their efforts to leave the Ottoman Empire. This was a devastating loss of power to the Turks and was the spark for even greater nationalism to foment.

Muslim refugees from the now-Christian breakaway countries poured into Istanbul with tales of Christian violence against their families. Some of the more extreme members of the Young Turks formed the Committee of Union & Progress (CUP). The CUP was focused on pushing Turkish nationalism, their chant was “Turkey for the Turks.”



The growing Turkish nationalism was also fuel for more hatred against the Armenian community, especially after Germany and Russia began warring in 1914. Turkey sided with Germany in this conflict. The Turks hoped a defeat of the Russians would help in the prospect of rebuilding their empire. In December of 1914, the Ottoman Turks tried to invade Russia, but suffered a horrible defeat. More than 100,000 Russian troops stormed across the border into Turkey and reports say that more than 5,000 Armenians helped the Russians, some even enlisting in the Russian Army.

This was likely a move that enraged the Turkish leaders who saw the Armenians as a liability. The Armenian members of the military were immediately disarmed and moved into labor camps and subsequently executed.

Not long after that, on April 24th, a group of 250 Armenian intellectual leaders of the community were rounded up and shipped off to a camp where they were killed.

Turkey had killed off the Armenian soldiers and the cultural elites. All that remained was to order the rest of the population to comply with a relocation order that was essentially a death sentence. Most of the Armenians were forced to march for sixty days and many did not survive the trip.
PoliticsRe: Picture Of The Day! 1915 Crucifixion Of Armenian Christian Girls by MossadAgent(op): 10:42am On Jun 04, 2016
The History:

Armenia was a trendsetter when it came to Christianity. The country adopted that faith in 301 A.D. This was even before the formation of the Holy Roman Empire. For centuries the Armenian people built a healthy and prosperous country. However, in the 15th century, the Ottoman Empire absorbed Armenia and the Armenians. The non-Muslim Armenians were classified as “infidels” and had to pay higher taxes and saddled with fewer rights than Muslims.

The Ottoman Empire stayed dominant in the region through the 19th century and into the early part of the 20th century. But in the late 1890s, Armenians were growing tired of their status as second class citizens and continued their push for more rights. In 1894, that push was met with a violent response from the Sultan who turned loose his private army on the Armenians. In the ensuing battles between 1894-96, it was reported that as many as 200,000 Armenians were killed by Sultan Abdul Hamid’s troops in what has been called the Hamidian Massacre. However, the killing of the 200,000 Armenian Christians was nothing compared to the 1915 genocide.

What led to the near extermination of the Armenians? It appears a combination of a few factors were working together to create a rabid form of Turkish nationalism that saw the Armenians as the enemies of the state. After all, the non-Muslims were officially considered “infidels” in the eyes of the Turks.

In 1908, a group of young Turks forced the Sultan out and took control of the government. At first they talked of bringing new freedoms to the Armenian people. Unfortunately, those freedoms never were granted by the ruling “Young Turks.” Instead the Armenians were seen as a threat to the shrinking Ottoman Empire.
