This is the path Nigeria is heading if care is not taken. Blood sucking Fulanis will soon open this kind chapter on South if nothing is done. 3 Likes |

This Rwanda stopped genocide in late 1990s but today, they are better in some areas than Nigeria. Can you say genocide and Nigeria's civil war aren't similar? Why are we still on the part of war today, albeit fought tribally, politically, and religiously? 7 Likes 1 Share |

Very unfortunate the genocide that took place in Rwanda, but the government of Rwanda has been able to transform the war torn country to a country to be proud of, Rwanda has the best police force in Africa according to world economics forum, it occupies spot number 2 as a country that provides the ease of doing business, they have electricity and it is the cleanest country in Africa, they also have pretty women , I can't wait to visit Rwanda again to relax for my vacation and complete the small vacation home that I am building their , the country is relatively safe, there is security all over the country, kudos to President Paul Kagame. 6 Likes |

I watched a documentary on reconstruction after the war, they said the whole professional middle class was wiped out in the Rwandan genocide. The government still finds it hard filling up certain sectors so they need expatriates. 2 Likes |

naptu2: Its even more depressing when you think that an African man, Boutros Ghalli was the UN Secretary General at that time. We had one of our own as the UN Secretary General and Genocide took place right under his nose. Edit: I made a mistake about Kofi Anan being the UN Secretary General as at then. It has been corrected. 1 Like |

fk001: They used to mock each other's distinct features, like some nairalanders do. Tutsis were tall, fair, skinny wt long head (like their current president). Hutus looked more like sub Saharan Africans. 6 Likes |

elfico: Kofi Annan wasn't the secretary general at the time. The secretary general of the UN at the time was Boutros Boutros Ghalli of Egypt. I remember that he requested for assistance but none of the Western Powers wanted to provide assistance because of what happened to the US in Somalia. He blamed the US while the US blamed him. He had a spat with Madeline Albright who was the US ambassador to the UN. A secretary general usually has two terms and Boutros Ghalli was serving Africa's first term, but Madeline Albright campaigned hard to ensure that he didn't get a second term. Kofi Annan was thus elected to continue Africa's tenure. 15 Likes 2 Shares |

fk001: The Hutus killed 70% of the Tutsi population. Almost wiped them out. Truth is dt All the tribal hatred in Africa can be traced back to colonialism. Stuffing people together and making others rule over them. It's not envy but a sense of injustice. 18 Likes 2 Shares |

Saddest story I have read What's wrong with us? I can't even cry, I can't be angry, I can only wonder.... This was purely inhumane, we need to step up as a people.... Worst part is we are capable of doing this in Nigeria if the same situation arises |

DSENATAR: I don't think that type of genocide can happen in Nigeria because the 3 biggest tribes are roughly balanced. The type of genocide that can happen in Nigeria is systemic genocide like it is happening in the middle belt with fulani herdsman. The dangers of middle belt style is that on the surface, you think it is a minor issue but over a decade you could find out that some people and their ancestral lands are nowhere to be found. 10 Likes |

Everyone is praying Nigeria not to witness this.. But nairaland dey promote tribalism per second.. Nonbe 2019 election some tribe don dey turn am to tribal..while instigating other tribes against each other just for 2023 election. The truth about this is that ours will be both tribal.. religious.. geographical zones.. And it will be more brutal than what we can ever imagine.. Shebi na daily we go gather for nairaland and Twitter the insults our human nature. It will happen ..when it will happen.. If a former governor..minister .. San.. can publicly made a tribalistic statement careless.. And a sitting president can openly declare such.. Brutality and fatality is so near.. Nigerians can only wish is a joke ..but they don't know how deep it has gone across tribe regions and religion.. Na Christians I pity most.. E go soon reach us.. soon! 3 Likes |

Things like this are necessary in the affairs of man. It starts from simple disagreements, then there's tension, followed by escalation and then confrontation (which is the climax) and finally a resolution (the denouement). World War II was really a water-shed moment in the history of man. It is the single most destructive war in history but it's also responsible for the relative world peace we've been able to enjoy today. Perhaps, if what happened in Rwanda hadn't taken place, they wouldn't still have sense today. Humans never appreciate perspective. It's what drives their intolerance and it often takes jarring events, usually, at great cost for them to gain perspective -even then, perspective comes in hindsight. There's this saying that those who refuse to learn from their history are bound to repeat them. Rwanda has a lot of monuments dedicated to rmembering the events of their genocide. Germany still has most concentration camps preserved. A timely reminder, setting them on the right path, of the grave costs of hateful and bigoted sentiments. What has Nigeria done? The only civil war we've had in this country is being thrown into the junkyard of history? Why? Because we don't want to learn from it. Because we don't want to move forward. We want to act as if the Civil war was simply something that did not happen. Guess what? The events that led to the civil war still subsist today. Nigeria is bound to repeat history because it is unwilling to learn from it. However unfortunate that'd be, if things are to get better, it is the only way to go... because we can not go on living as if everything is fine and dandy forever. It's not possible. Either the contraption that is Niger-Area disintegrates, or unifies and sheds all of its tribal and ethno-religion scale. Shalom people. 30 Likes 3 Shares |
