Politics › Prevalent Moral Depravity And Bigotry In Nigeria (nairaland?) by omenka(op): 4:15pm On Jun 20, 2015*

Good afternoon.

I write this with a very heavy heart, worried sick about the orientation of the average Nigerian youth and their knack for turning logic right on its head at every turn.

I stumbled on a thread, www.nairaland.com/2392653/buhari-declares-war-south-south-militants, a few moments ago which carried news about an ongoing military campaign against militants (terrorists) in some creeks in Cross Rivers state and was shocked to my marrows the kind of comments people who are supposedly Nigerians were making.

First, the publisher of the article poses a security threat to this country. What is the use of the inclusion of "South South" in the title of the article?? We all know the kind of divisive rhetoric flying around these days and making "war-on" and "South-South" stand together as done by the publisher would certainly stir up emotions from a particular people. If the publisher had intended to publish the article in good faith, why didn't he simply put "declare war on militants"?? When the fight against Boko Haram is being reported, do we see things like "Nigerian Army bombs North East Boko Haram"??

I never imagined we'd become so bigoted and morally debased in this country that we'd consider it inappropriate for the government to wage war against a group of militants and pirates "following their frequent attacks on vessels, police stations, seafarers including market women" simply because these criminals come from the same region as we do and perhaps share common ethnicity with us.

Have the posters criticising the government's action interacted with the pirates to know they come from the same backgrounds?? Couldn't the pirates be a mix of Nigerian and foreign nationals??

I just don't get it- on what grounds is attack on market women and police formations justifiable huh

On what bases should reprieve be given such criminal elements by the state??

Some posters on that thread went "he (Mr President) has been dragging his feet on Boko Haram but was so quick to deploy the military to the Zone" and I ask - what planet were these people when Buhari took his FIRST official decision after he was sworn in which was to relocate the military Command and Control Centre to the epicentre of the war on terror to bolster the campaign against those murderers?? Who bears the brunt of the activities of Boko Haram?? Would it not be in the president's/Nigeria's interest politically, economically and otherwise, to see that Boko Haram is completely extinguished?? Wouldn't doing so require a very decisive military approach?? Isn't that the reason he's been trying to rally the troops within the country and those of all our neighbours to commit to this just course?? How is a military campaign against militants and criminals an act of war against the South South?? Are these guys saying South Southerners are all militants and criminals huh

Someone else went..

are the Millitants really disturbing, killing and molesting people more than the BOKO HARRAM ? OR is it a modern form of discrimination?

And guess what- 16 people had already "liked" the comment the last time I checked. Now tell me, do we have to fold our arms and watch them metamorphose into something as deadly as Boko Haram before action is taken?? Are we oblivious of the fact that government's sloppiness towards Boko Haram during it's infant stage is the reason we have an all out war on our hands today?? How does fighting criminals amount to "discrimination" huh

Then this comment took the idiocy to the summit of Everest!

ode how many bokoharam has he killed since he took over power? ans = 0 he cant kill his brothers
buh he wants to kill my brothers. why would he
declare War on a said group that is causing the
country no harm? if one militant dies then a civil
war would break out in this country and i carzola
would pick up arms and fight enough is enough.

I just can't imagine how one was able to rationalise something like this. It is simply appalling to say the least. Imagine after reading the opening post, this poster still went on to say- "the group is causing the country no harm!!! I bet his opinion would have been a lot different had his mom being one of the said market women or his dad one of the security officers who fell victim to the group's attacks.

How did we get here huh

Where did we go wrong?? Is there any hope our so called youths are ever gonna break free from such jaundiced orientations?? Who are these people promoting this highly inflammable ideologies?? What exactly are their motives??

Are these highly regrettable nuances borne out of an innate hatred for the president or are they spontaneous opinions attributable to the event under scrutiny?? When did we become so obsessed with the notion "a stranger has no right to punish my brother even when he goes against our common laws"?? Do we have any idea who the next victim of these criminals we tend to try to insulate from persecution and prosecution simply because they are our tribesmen would be??

Is there any hope the yawning gap between logic and tomfoolery, as seen amongst us today, is ever gonna be bridged??

The citizens of this country are in dire need of re-orientation.

I weep for Nigeria and pray God have mercy upon us.

A very unfortunate remark I must say. I wish we can adopt the protocol obtainable in developed countries where public officers earn not more than 5 times the minimum wage of the country or a few greater percentage of the per capita GDP, then I'd see if any of these guys that jostle to get into these offices would still do so.

I remember sometime back when an analysis was made and it was discovered it would take someone earning a minimum wage in Nigeria over a thousand years to earn what a legislator earns in a year, yet Dogara imagines they earn peanuts.

So damn unfortunate.

You sing one Nigeria to the high heavens because you are lazy and parasitic and knows nothing about hardwork and being smart, go and look for a land now and plan cooca before it is late.

Have you ever sat down to ask yourself what you can do to make the country a better place and actually attempt to do same?? Have you ever imagined the failure of Nigeria might not be as much a failure of the FG as it is State Government?? Do you think the level of development in your state is commensurate to what the state has been earning at least since 1999??

Stop musing about the "zoo", make a paradise of it for yourself. No one will do it for you mr.

As for the calling me lazy and parasitic, I'd let that slide. Made a commitment to leave the insults to kids around here and will NOT violate it.

Politics › Re: Charleston Shooting: What Do We Mean When We Say "Hate Crime" And "Terrorism" by omenka(m): 7:17am On Jun 20, 2015

Op thanks for raising this. It was exactly what my friend and I discussed at a point in the club last night when images of the incident were flashed on the tv screen. It is nothing but religious profiling. Had a muslim carried out this act, ain't no chance it hell it wouldn't be tagged "terrorism". In this case they call it a "hate crime" or any other fancy names. The only person who came close to calling it what it truly is is the NWACP president who called it "racial terrorism". The word has been misapplied so much one is tempted to think the definition has been changed in the dictionary to apply to only acts committed by people of a particular faith.

White westerners are only deceiving themselves. Another case in point is them breathing down our necks to handover our leaders for prosecution at the ICC when men such as Bush and Blair are walking freely commanding respect across the world, as though the court was established to handle only cases with African origin.

Smh.

dinachi:
I feel a deep sense of grief and bewilderment when I read a lot of misguided comments from my Igbo brothers with some calling for a violent secession from Nigeria. Most of the generation of people making these statement never witnessed the civil war. They did not see first hand the horrors of war. They did not experience the terrific impact of bombs or the loud ear splitting sounds of heavy artillery shells as the explode. Should I talk about the economic impact? How our people were reduced to paupers and had to start from the scratch. How beautiful daughters were forcefully torn from the warm embrace of their families and married off to leprous men in the North just to spite our people. Only a mentally deranged and prone to self destruction individual will ever in his life support a violent secession from Nigeria.

Our problem is not secession. Our problem is learning how to live with other tribes in harmony while doing our businesses. Our focus should be on how to build consensus across the nation for vital political interests.

I laugh heartliy when I see some misguided Niger Delta youths like b*arcanista and co trying to be clever by half by playing to our sense of entitlement. Speaking from both sides of the mouth about how our people are being pushed aside and marginalized.
Yet these are the same people that effectively sabotaged the Biafran struggle under Ojukwu. These are the same people that lead the enemy in through our backyards and betrayed their so called brothers. Now they have started a new song because their brother Jonathan who performed woefully was booted out by majority of Nigerians.

I want us to know sometime that is historical. The moment an attempt is made to secede, the I jaws will immediately turn their backs and negotiate us away to advance their interests. So we will end up alone fighting the whole of Nigeria and loosing again.

When the chips are down, we are always alone.

Another point to consider is that Nigeria has become too intergrated to break up. Almost every family has in laws across their tribe. How will that be handled?

Igbo are the most integrated people in Nigeria with business interests across the six geopolitical zones of Nigeria. Most of our people will become jobless or stay and be killed the moment a secession is declared.

Those who knew the truth will tell you that even inside Biafra there were still serious cases of tribalism and nepotism, even under the revered Ojukwu. That was why ahiara declaration became necessary to tackle these issues.

Finally, we are not ready militarily and would only be engaging in another massive waste of life if we insist on our ways.
So my people do not be deceived! Our best and only bet is to remain as law abiding citizens of Nigeria while doing our best to continue to be relevant in the scheme of things.
Ka Chineke mezie okwu.

I love reading sensible posts like this. Nice one Op.

Like I said before, all these people getting overly excited and giddy about "war" don't even know what a gunpowder smells like. When shiit hits the fan this time, they are not gonna read naratives on the pages of newspapers or elsewhere, they are gonna bear witnesses to the horrendous effects themselves, a fate I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

I'm all for living peacefully and enjoying myself. Life is simply too precious.

Just like Obj said he wasn't corrupt and didn't deny the fact that some of the people he worked with weren't corrupt, GEJ had wolves who worked with him also.

Personally, GEJ wasn't the most honourable but he did his best so stop hating you f00LS.

You call others fools yet you've not said anything sensible. Who are we to blame for all the sleaze that surrounded Jonathan's admin?? Didn't he appoint the so called ministers and all those in his cabinet??

In his failed attempt to exonerate himself, he gave a "yam and goat" analogy. Now tell me, who brought the goats into the yam barn knowing fully well the huge appetite goats have for yams?? Why didn't he put carnivores to guard the yams??

It is such a shame we had a president that didn't have any idea what it takes to be a leader. Glad Nigerians finally made the right choice giving him the boots.

I hope the people commending Wike for this unlawful conduct would not shout foul play if Buhari decides to go after Jonathan and his former aides. Buhari doesn't deal with Police or DSS, he deals with the Military. So if he wanna embark on that kinda task, it would be a case of 'hell on earth' for Jonathan and his immediate aides.

Jonathan's admin was nothing but a free for all looting frenzy by the hawks in Abuja. He condoned, excused and promoted corruption within his household, cabinet and beyond. Depending on how big what you steal was, you stood a chance to be awarded a national honour and a presidential handshake thanking you for a job well done.

This info gives an insight into why defence contractors, people at the top of the food chain in the military, and some politicians would do virtually anything to ensure Boko Haram is never completely eliminated
