And mehn your spiritual life must be very low o, for them to send tortoise to you - dem reason am say, spiritually, you nor fit even outrun a tortoise.

But an innocent lady got raped and killed in your region. Not even the handwork of the terrorist but by people who are expected to be normal. You know what that means? There’s chaos everywhere not only in southwest or northern part of the country but in the world generally.. when things happen in southwest which yes everyone knows it’s abnormal. Some certain set of people like you will be quick to react to and politicalized the situation.. meanwhile a lots of terrorism are happening in your region which no one is politicizing it.. recently a video of people slaughtering fellow human being surface online. No one politicize it. Get your fact right Mr. Terrorism started not from this regime of government and hopefully soon in future someone from your region will be President we you will get to understand a lots about this country..

You do realize THIS was the message I originally responded to, right?

Openyamind111:
On behalf of the entire Obidense.. we are waiting for our darling wanna be President AKA (Agbotikuya) to say something to this..

THAT was your response to this situation, right? don't throw stones if you live in glass houses, You can't play the political and ethnic game and then hold your hand when that same card is played back to you. So I repeat, the joke is on you for electing a man who cannot save his own people from being decimated in their own land.

Openyamind111:
Jokes on you.. but when Buhari was the President you guys were angry with Buhari. Started sit at home.. you can remind us of numbers of people who lost their lives because they refused to obey the order. That’s if the order is still not active… funny how those are killing their loved ones because they are mad a particular President are saying they don’t play politics with lives..

Joke is not on me bro, your person is the president and he's people are being slaughtered on their own land. That's one of the worse deals ever made.

Say what you will but NDIGBO are very PRO-ACTIVE. They don't play politics with lives. No be matter of kidnapping students and teachers and everybody still hold mouth because of one dead mandate. Dem comot pesin head and people hold mouth, dey wait for mandate. That one is never happening, after next year yekini is returning to the swap he came from.

iichidodo:
The same subgroup exists in Kogi, anywhere there's a heterogeneous mixture between the northerners and indigenes as well as a cultural and religious assimilation between both sides, you have a base where external actors from futta djallon or as far way as Mali or Libya can call home and perpetrate such heinous crimes against the locals....Who would blame them? If I was a hardened desert fighter from Mali, affiliated to one of these Jihadist groups in the Sahel region looking for fortune, loot and booty. The sweet, vast green land of the Yorubas populated by a docile people will be prime real estate to establish a niche for my group..

Very informative and well explained

iichidodo:
Nothing will happen if there's an assimilation of terrorism in Yorubaland...The people will just learn to live with it.

There's already a very large Yoruba-Fulani subgroup in Kwara and Oyo, similar to Hausa-Fulani group.

Terrorism? One bag of rice for everyone.

But, but but but Israel...Our arab brothers would never do that to black people especially black people who pray 7 times a day just like our arab brothers. The Ummah is one...something something something Bilal

Case Study: Nigeria’s Higher Levels of Terrorism Compared to Somalia and Afghanistan (2024–2025)

While all three countries face severe security challenges, recent data from Amnesty International and other credible sources show that Nigeria experiences significantly higher volumes of terrorism-related deaths and ethnoreligious violence than Somalia or Afghanistan.
Terrorism Impact (Global Terrorism Index 2026)

### Summary Comparison
| Aspect                        | Nigeria                          | Somalia                       | Afghanistan                     |
|-------------------------------|----------------------------------|-------------------------------|---------------------------------|
| Terrorism Deaths (2025)      | 750 (sharp rise)                | Lower than Nigeria           | Lower than both                |
| Civilian/Armed Group Killings| 10,217+ (recent 2 years)        | Hundreds per period          | Lower mass killings            |
| Christian Faith Killings     | 3,490 (2025 reporting period)   | High persecution, low numbers| Targeted repression            |

Nigeria: 750 terrorism deaths in 2025 (up 46% from previous year), 171 incidents. ISWAP and Boko Haram responsible for ~80% of deaths. Nigeria ranked among the top 5–6 most impacted countries globally.
Somalia: Ranked around 7th globally, with fewer deaths than Nigeria despite ongoing Al-Shabaab activity.
Afghanistan: Ranked lower (around 11th), with a notable decline in large-scale terrorism since the Taliban takeover.

Nigeria records the highest terrorism fatalities among the three.
Ethnoreligious and Armed Group Killings (Amnesty International)
Nigeria stands out for the scale of civilian deaths from armed groups, bandits, and ethnoreligious violence (often targeting Christian farming communities by Fulani militants and others):

At least 10,217 people killed in attacks by armed groups/gunmen across key states (Benue: 6,896; Plateau: 2,630) from May 2023 to mid-2025.
Specific mass attacks in 2025: Over 100 killed in Yelewata, Benue (June); 27 in Plateau (July); 50 in Katsina (August).

Religious persecution of Christians:

Nigeria accounts for the vast majority of faith-related Christian killings globally. Open Doors World Watch List 2026 reports 3,490 Christians killed for their faith in Nigeria (out of 4,849 worldwide).

Somalia:

UN data cited by Amnesty: 854 civilian casualties (295 killed) from Jan–Sep 2024. Al-Shabaab responsible for ~65%. Another period (Mar–Sep) recorded 144 killed.
One investigated incident: 23 civilians (including 14 children) killed in military strikes (potentially war crimes).

Afghanistan:

Focus is more on targeted repression. Rawadari data cited by Amnesty: 251 people (protesters, former officials, etc.) extrajudicially executed or wounded in the first half of one recent year by Taliban or unknown actors.
ISKP carries out sporadic attacks on minorities (e.g., Hazara Shia), but large-scale civilian massacres are lower than in Nigeria.

Conclusion: Nigeria suffers from more intense and widespread terrorism and ethnoreligious killings, driven by groups like Boko Haram, ISWAP, and Fulani militants, coupled with weak protection of civilians. Somalia faces brutal insurgency violence, while Afghanistan has shifted toward authoritarian repression with fewer mass casualty events.

If they try to forcefully retrieve the body then they should be shot on sight. T
Poor education and lack of common sense has been very detrimental to Africa.

The last thing Africa needs is a disease outbreak as a result of the irrational actions of some uneducated bunch. The fact that you have choosen to remain uneducated shouldn't come at the expense of others.

Fake news. Iran has nothing to repair. Their state of the art supersonic, hypersonic, cybersonic high tech defence system which was personally built by Allah prevented all missiles from landing in Iran.

He always has a way of leaving a small hidden door open so he can run back to his political adversaries. He has already begun the process of placing his odds on both candidates.

This one don kill people tire. See how evil he looks

Love the calm energy Doherty has, his cool head and GRV youthful ginger collabo for sure pass

No be only guide, na manual and firmware update.

The 'grasscutter' is also a rat albeit a herbivorous one

It's a CANE RAT

The grasscutter is a rat the same way a seahorse is a horse.

Nigeria na bollywood.

I don't know why Nigerians are so hard headed and defiant. This is a HEALTH RISK!!!!

brain54:
Unlike you I'd admit and correct my mistake...


They are both of the rodent family. Not rat family.


Admit yours too... which is broader and really ignorant.


Doesn't make you any less of a man. If you aren't an ignorantly obstinate fellow you would have seen where I said I have never eaten it before!

I would admit when I make a mistake, however I haven't made one yet. The screenshot confirms what I wrote earlier on - Grasscutters eat Grass, Gutter rats eat ANYTHING!!! I have seen these exact rats eating some of the most disgusting things from the GUTTER!

brain54:
The irony of his argument is that grass cutter is actually a specie of rat...


Or of the rat's family.


Such an ignorant fella. But he wouldn't take corrections!

A simple 2 seconds Google search would have educated you but you refused, all because of your love of eating Gutter rat as a delicacy.

You are struggling to cope with that fact that you have been eating Gutter rats your entire life.

Christlike01:
Fair enough.

You can't keep sugar-coating things and treating people with kid gloves. There is evil in the land and just 2 days ago, I saw people collecting 1,000 naira to sell their votes. Sometimes its good to remind people of their pain and suffering so that they can re-evaluate their future decisions. After all the popular proverb says tell the truth and shame the devil.

if I have to remind people of the destruction that they have brought upon themselves through their short-sighted ethnoreligious decisions then I would do just that.

Christlike01:
You guys are too emotional— reason why you are where you are politically. Hownon earth do you expect anyone from Oyo State to support and vote for Obi with this your highly ridiculous statement? Believe it or not,It will be difficult for anybody from your region to rule Nigeria as its President. You guys are not just smart!

Bro at this point if anyone cannot see those behind the evil in Nigeria then let them vote however they want to.

If the evil in the country is not enough for them to understand what is at stake then let them do as the please.

Desusi:
There's a different between gutter rat and normal rat that lives in a well digged hole, on its own accord. The common gutter rats are the one you just described.As the name implies they live in the gutter.This one is different from normal rat, which lives in a hole From your description its called Okete in western Nigeria

Bro that thing na rat.
