IMEI:Ok you don't support it but it was people like Reno, Femi, and the rest that first talked about a Christian genocide in the north why are claiming that there is no such thing now They said this for the past 8 years or so |

I have been going through twitter and honestly a lot of Nigerians have given up hope on this country but it is ridiculous the way people are thinking that the United States of America wants to come and rescue them. Like their bombs and bullets don't discriminate, they will end up justifying their actions at the end of the day and a lot of people who supported this will just be tagged collateral damage. Nigeria is genuinely cooked as a country with the kind of leaders and citizens we have.

nahr:Patriotism can be Nurtured and can also be degraded, it doesn't come by default. Patriotism can only exist when there is Nationalism. Nationalism can only exists when there is an acceptable plan to move forward. The Nigerian leadership has no plan to move forward, that's the simple truth. Political settings are purely looting sprees. |

nigeriansamurai:There can't be nationalism in today's Nigeria, we are way too divided to fight a common enemy together. Leadership and followership in Nigeria are also both flawed. |

nahr:True💯 but if Genghis Khan could unite the mongols, Nigeria na small case in the hands of the right leader. I believe Why we have religious and tribal bickering is simply because, we have not had a strong leader that has been interested in Unity, rather we've had rulers that benefit from the division. Most of these disagreement are stimulated by few people |

nahr:Until the day we all come to understand that Nigeria currently has no business being one country, we'll keep doing this back and forth with damning perpetual consequences. This colonial cesspit was an arrangement of administrative convenience that had no prior considerations for the interests of its inhabitants, but that of its western beneficiaries. It has to end. |

WriteerNg:Good one. They must not allow America destroy their region the way it destroyed Middle East. If some stupid countries in the ME have allowed US to exploit and destroy their region they must let US know that this is Western Hemisphere and not ME. Unity is all it takes. |

⚡Satellite images show that the United States is rebuilding a military base in Puerto Rico in preparation for a war with Venezuela. Transport routes ready for jet and cargo planes are being prepared, nearly a dozen tents set up, and a River drone already in place.

nigeriansamurai:Our leaders have since been using the divide and rule strategy that the British colonial government handed to them. This same plot is what USA is using, it's the same old plot being used. If Nigeria was homogeneous, we might not have this many problems. To achieve unity at this point seems so unattainable to me. |

SonOfWords:Bro Division would work too, I mean if you look at Europe, you'll see alot of indigenous countries and they have been in relative peace all this while. Someone I respect made a comment that most African Countries are too diverse to be United. My fears is this: If it happens violently the scale of border disputes would be staggering. even as I'm talk to you my community dey drag land with another people. This issues would definitely throw the region into a complex web of conflicts. If division should come let it be peaceful, popular also it should be indigenous no mixing of tribes (where it is possible). |

nigeriansamurai:In whatever guise it happens, the dissolution of the current Nigerian arrangement requires bloodshed. So whether we as citizens decide to trigger it in the form of a holistic revolution or the intervention of foreign bodies of interests, one absolute certainty is that Nigeria as we know it today has to end. The country is not working and you cannot be asking unity and patriotism from a people who don't even know what it means to have a working country. |

nahr:So what is your solution to the killings? Because US bombs don't discriminate we should fold our hands and allow islamic terrorist massacre us like Christmas goat? After which the government send them abroad for training, use state resources to give them valuable skills. What type of justice system is that? Is that how Russia, China, Turkey reward terrorist who murdered Russian, Chinese citizens? Some people on Twitter have every right to complain and accept US pressure or sanctions on the government. Especially when they see some Muslims calling for jihad against Christians in Nigeria. No right thinking Nigerian Muslim should be against US pressure or sanctions to get rid of islamic terrorist in Nigeria.

SonOfWords:I'm not asking anyone for anything, honestly it would be hypocritical to blame the masses for their aparthy and lack of patriotism. Like you said the state is not working. Truth dey your point @bolded, but I'm simply hoping for the best. |

SonOfWords:See, nobody is willing to sacrifice their lives for this country. After the #End Sars protest, do you know how scared Nigerians have been since then? Blood is not cheap and as terrible as this country is presently, nobody wants to die. |

OkpaNsukkaisBae:Dude nobody wants these terrorists to be alive but compromising Nigeria's sovereignty is not the solution. Knowing the pattern of US "saving" the oppressed citizens of certain countries and leaving them worse off, we ought to be skeptical. An ideal situation would have been a partnership of the US army with the Nigerian army while providing weapons and Intelligence. |
| Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by OkpaNsukkaisBae(m): 8:50am On Nov 03, 2025 |
nahr:You don't really know the meaning of the word Sovereignty. When all Nigerian President/governors starting from 1999 have their medical treatment abroad, their children school in foreign universities. That's not a sovereign country. Compromising Nigerian sovereignty means rewarding islamic terrorist. Government officials attending wedding of terrorist .

With Gaza winding down and UAE currently in the walk of shame after been called out on Sudan and probably trying to scale back its weapons purchase, more markets need to be opened for the US Industrial military complex. Ditto oil rich Venezuela and Africa which has always been a rich killing field. They see you as lesser humans, trust me. Since Tinubu as Ecowas president didn't go in guns blazing to reinstate 'democracy' in Niger, thereby opening a massive weapons contract and helping them punish the African Sahel rulers that kicked out their military bases, Trump and the MIC are suddenly in love with Nigerian Christains. Notice how they did and still do nothing to help the Christians and minorities been killed in Syria by the followers of their installed Al-Qaeda president. Notice how Israel and UAE are the biggest markets for gold despite owning not one single ounce on their soil - all from war torn Congo. Remember the blood diamonds from Sierra Leone? Remember Patrice Lumumba, the Christian leader of Congo who was vaporized in acid (as we later saw done in breaking bad series) just for wanting the best for his people? Thank goodness Maduro's pilot didn't fall for the millions offered by the CIA to deliver Maduro to them. They know how to make you dissappear or say you commited suicide. No doubt the Nobel peace prize woman would have also given that pilot a good government appointment. It's never about we the populace but their interest. Neo-colonialism and control. Let us open our military base in your country and have skewed trade agreements and we won't bomb or destabilise it. You refuse, we destabilize it anyway and install our puppet. Always a lose-lose with them. We may like or hate China, but their non interference in domestic affairs is commendable. The west is never your friend. It is coercion or control and they always exploit the fault lines within countries for their gains. Sunni and Shia in ME, Christian and Muslim in Africa, Tribe in religiously homogenous countries eg Hutus vs Tutsi in Rwanda. They will always look for something to fan the embers. Economically prosperous nations don't see differences. China's Muslim population don't feel diilfferently because they are okay(the US tried to exploit that and failed. So if we all focused on growing our economies, we wouldn't care about tribe or religion which is why they never want you to grow. They need something to divide you with. See how Israel always targets civilian infrastructure during wars rather than military targets. Keep them poor, eventually some will cave and turn to our informants and stooges (we saw it work in gaza and gradually in Yemen). If all the boko haram terrorists were employed, had families and a meaningful life to return to, they wouldn't be interested in terrorism. Who's currently supplying them weapons and drugs? Hard drugs are what make a human like you take a cutlass and kill another person in cold blood without flinching. Because at the point of using those drugs you lose the brain's prefrontal cortex function which is what makes us human and you become subject to basal instincts like a lion attacking a prey. So drug trade flourishes. Weapons trade flourishes. Win win for the military industrial complex war machine. It is time for the world to unite against the MIC. Against neo colonialism and control. It happened to my neighbour (gaza, libya, syria), I did not care. Now it's gradually coming to everyone's doorstep. Saudi and Qatar may think they're free for now. But honestly when the war machine is done with other enclaves it will reach their doorstep too. Countries should learn to put aside their differences and unite against a common enemy. The US is not our friend. They never were. And wont suddenly be. It's time for African leaders to put their acts together and pursue development. The time is ripe for economically disadvantaged countries to push for BRICS to work |

SonOfWords:exactly, we are too different, to fit as one country, just imagine 200 plus ethnic groups in one country, I will keep saying this the Muslims are the problem of this country, I fully support separatism, they should be Muslim and Christian area in this country, Christians should not enter Muslim areas Muslims should not enter Christian areas |

One of the reason many people are supporting the SMO in Ukraine is that Kiev under Elensky are promoting and encouraging nazism/Banderism. They have national holiday and infrastructures celebrating such figures as heroes. This is the main reason Poland is against Ukraine's EU membership. The Ukrainian Banderites have been killing and attacking Russian native speakers, Russian Orthodox Christians in Eastern Ukraine. Until Russia said that enough is enough, moved in to de-nazify Kiev. This is similar to government in Nigeria that are investing huge resources in the name of training repentant boko haram terrorist instead of bringing them to justice. If you're okay with Russian de-Nazification in Ukraine then you should be okay with US pressure to get rid of islamic terrorism in Nigeria not yapping about non existent "Sovereignty ". |

I’ve heard this said about so many different Ukrainian cities by now, and yet the soldiers remain contract soldiers, not conscripts. If Russian losses were truly that severe, Ukraine would be winning this war decisively by attrition, yet the opposite is clearly the case. |
