mrvitalis: Government sponsored killings to give agitators bad name
Every smart human know this
IPOB accused of the killing has agreed for nigeria to allow an independent enquiry into the killings in the South East... Guess who is against such enquiry ?
There are more killings in South West than South East... What do we call the killings in South West
The fact that most of Kanu’s supporters are shocked the broadcasts used to charge him exist is pure cognitive dissonance.
Many of you heard those orders live when he told anyone who came out on sit-at-home days to be killed. “You know we love dead bodies” , his words, verbatim. “I decide who lives and who di es” , verbatim. “I will go to Abuja and bring back the head of Buhari” , verbatim.
When he ordered prison breaks, ambushes on police, kpaing of officers and military, and his terr0rists came on air to report it, none of you went to stop him.
When he ordered the May 31 sit-at-home and warned that even old women coming out to fend for their children’s stomachs would be kpaid on the spot, you heard it. None of you said a word. Imaro na owu crime that you consigned, funded, and cheered.
And the iti akwus who come now to gaslight us with “IPOB was non-violent till Python Dance” so non-violent that they set Orsu, Umuaka, Lili, Achala and Okigwe ablaze. Call it what it was, terror, arson, bl0odshed. We will not let you excuse it.
When Kanu went on air ordering the kpaing of anyone who disobeyed him, and later boasted he could stop insecurity in the Southeast in two minutes, that was posturing for a political solution, a threat designed to force concessions. He wanted governors to come negotiate on his behalf “so peace would return” on his terms.
That’s why his people started pointing at terr0rists in the North, an ironic, telling diversion. They moved from denying he was a terr0rist to demanding that their terrorist be negotiated with.
Kanu said repeatedly that to get Biafra they would turn the “zoo” into a place worse than Sudan. When you heard that, where did you think he meant? Who were the intended victims? Who would be used as shields?
When he said “we will draw the zoo army to our land and annihilate them” how did you imagine that drawing happening? Through singing praise and worship? By singing the Biafran anthem? No, he meant ambushes, bloodshed, and using civilian bodies as shields on Igbo soil.
You lot cannot pretend to be outraged now after cheering the vi0lence and expect anyone to take you seriously.
You cannot demand his release to “calm the land” when he is the one who set it on fire.
The recordings didn’t make him guilty, his own words did. And you heard them.
And the law said he had a case to answer.
Stop performing surprise. Quit the faux outrage. Own what you cheered.
Look at every community ESN boys and Umuoma Kanu invaded, how non-peaceful they now are. That is the Biafran liberation he promised. Are you impressed?
Adaisback: it is also the igbos that are more vocal against the killings in the East even here on nairaland . Eg , Tochi, proudly omoina, ejiofor, kingotex, my humble self etc
I see. But there are many ibos who say Kanu is a messiah and that ugm and ipob are doing a good job
Let me go through your posts and see what you mean
lastmessenger: if the killing going on the south east is the same proportion of killing going on in the other parts of the country then it means Nigeria security is good. As a matter of fact there wont be a cry of Christian genocide. Please tell me any occasion where a south east governor called for peace meetings between them and the non-state actors who brandish AK 47? When was the last time villages was ransacked and the peoples land taken over and renamed in the southeast.?
If one life is lost to any act of terrorism, it is one life too many. The nonsense we have in the north also started gradually. The northerners were also romancing their terrorists the same way you downplay the menace of ugm and ipob.
absoluteSuccess: Brother, try to enlighten me and everyone that reads, you can also create a thread on the nomenclature of the killings in Igbo land, that's your beat.
Except you want to argue that nothing is going on in the middle belt or I'm not supposed to talk about it. By the way, I have right to pray for the Igbo as long as it's my prayer.
Why should I hate on my neighbors?
You brought igbos into the thread. It's there in the title. You made it look as if the ibos have done something spectacular for the middle belt people in trying to help them(I still don't know what they have done sha) with their insecurity problem. What I merely pointed out is that if the ibos were so adept at helping with this kind of issue, how come they have become incompetent in handling theirs? Except you want to argue that nothing is going on in the East
Mind you, this is a public forum and anybody has the right to make comments on any topic you put up here. Thank you
absoluteSuccess: While I don't support any form of violence, but to comment on the killings on the East, I will like you to understand that the Igbo race are a peculiar people from the little time I've been in this world. I know they do challenge their fears.
Although it has nothing to do with it, but when China was trying to industrialize, it suffered self imposed trauma to the extent that there's nothing the people don't eat, but today, the country is out of the woods.
Did Japan not lord it over Chinese before the country decided to take it's destiny by it's own hands? So whatever is the ongoing issue in the East, that's for the time being, it's the land of the rising sun of the black race. It shall be a land that the enemy will not rule over direct.
Ok. So the nomenclature you give the killings in the East is Self Imposed Trauma?
absoluteSuccess: In the video shared about the ongoing killings in the middle belt on YouTube, it's pertinent to save this mindset or myopic point of view of the ongoing issue for the records.
I will encourage us to see things for what they are, and thank God they speak Yoruba in the video and the opinion is of the commentators, not in anyway sponsored. But the very same opinion cut across and completely failed to do justice to the problem as it pretend to want to.
Now the essence of sharing this is the fact that, this very sentiment is shared among the Yoruba m****m, and some don't just see the recklessness of their sentiments just yet.
Of course some people are unaware of what is called emotional intelligence. If the Fulani militia are ajagungbale, and you describe the people who own the land as people in the firing line of the Fulani militia, that's a building up of abetting with the idea that “might is right”.
Then the same commentators concluded that the Fulani are clashing with settlers because of climate change. The west has punched a hole in that narrative. How has this very claim been proven beyond reasonable doubt?
The same mouth which says that the militia started their carnage from Borno because it was not conquered during Othman Dan Fodiyo Jihad switch to climate change when the bandit and Fulani got involved in the same thing happening earlier in Borno against Western education.
So it's Western education in Borno, it's grassland and climate change in Benue, what will it become when it gets to Ilorin? It will change its nomenclature there too, and on and on, it will clear up the middle belt and build up a launchpad to get to the entire south under another name in decades to come.
You will fight tooth and nail that it's not a religious war as you are doing now, but first you will run, wishing you had put out the fire on the mountains of plateau when it was first kindled, but you are protecting your religion instead of it to protect you, you are fighting for Allah instead of him to fight for you.
Oluwo shared a video of his visit to a meeting at Abuja and in spite of his allegiance to the Fulani, the sitting emirs in the video did not accord him much respect as did Jonathan and Obasanjo. One did not even bother to shake hands with him.
Again, I pray for the Igbo nation, who have been vehemently noising the ongoing carnage in all social media, being the voice of the voiceless minorities, that God will always stand by them and will be their help in time of need.
Today you think you are safe, but the killers are encroaching on you while you think it's the minority they were attacking. You don't know that those are your outpost to defend, big for nothing slaves of brainwash. Why is your God subservient of foreign gods?
Eleduwa means "the Sustainer of existence". Interpret the name of the foreign gods you are shielding from scandal and let's see what it means?
Jeezuzpick: Osimhen needs to be protected from injury during national team assignment.
NFF doesn't care about him. An injury while wearing the green jersey might not get the swift treatment he needs, that would otherwise be available in his club.
Anyone who wants the young man to succeed will not wish super eagles on him.
However, if he plays for Nigeria, I wish him the best, and I pray for injury-free matches for him.
You don't know how much every football wishes to be at the world cup, especially good footballers like Oshimen who have never had the chance to play at that level
Ventura1: An interesting angle on this narrative is that it seems to originate from a separatist movement - the so-called "Biafran separatists" - in the South of Nigeria who last year hired former U.S. Congressman Jim Moran as a lobbyist to push for their movement.
Which is quite an ironic angle in the case of the Biafra area because it's located in the South of the country, which is overwhelmingly Christian (Nigeria is actually the country in Africa with the most Christians), and is the safest part of the country for Christians.
They're apparently paying Jim Moran "under a $10K per month contract" (again, according to Moran himself on his website) which, assuming this is indeed what spurred Trump's sudden passion for Nigerian Christians, would make it perhaps the greatest ROI in lobbying history: shaping US foreign policy for the cost of a small startup's marketing budget.
This one is just about Biafra liberation. The one that attracted the United States government was done by the people of Benue
EDGEof2MORO: whats funny is that jews are killing christians in west bank. Pedophile jews destroyed the oldest christian village in west bank (jesus stayed in that village).
Whats even funnier, jews claim they are peaceful but hamas and islam are the problem. Then why attack christians? No hamas in west bank. No islam just jews being jews.
if nigerian christians even bothered to read their bible, something i doubt any of them even do, they will see that it was even the jews that killed their jesus christ. yet go through all the posts on nairaland supporting genocidal Israel and the fingers behind it belongs to a nigerian christian.
Is this why the killings in northern Nigeria should continue?
helinues: Begging to help is different from forcing to help.
Is Trump the guardian of the christians on the mother earth?
What's the difference? Why are you APC people afraid of America helping Nigeria against terrorism? Is it because it makes the government look bad? Or you just want the killings to continue?
mightyhazel: If Nigeria is a self respecting country with good leaders elected by the people ,will anybody talk about coming to eliminate terrorists for them?
Exactly. If we'd done something about our internal issues no one would be sending us threats
budaatum: The bandits are not Muslims! They are terrorists masquerading as whatever! And they are terrorising anyone they find regardless of religion.
If you ask any Muslim you know, they'd tell you Allah never told anyone to go do what these terrorists are doing! And if Allah did tell people ti do what the terrorists are doing, everyone in the world would be against Islam!
Unless your argument is New York and London people are naive, of course.
Ok, let's assume for a moment that Trump actually follows through with his plan, that means the terrorists would be in trouble. The senseless killings would go down at least a bit. Is that not a win win situation for both Christians and Muslims in the region? Does it matter at this point is they called it a Christian or Muslim genocide? What matters is for something to be done about it! Or you want the killings to continue?
kwaso2: I have. Since 2010. You probably have, but you don't know. In health care, for instance, most free services we receive is from the American people like; Malaria, TB, HIV, NCD care, NTD care, etc. They usually don't go loud rather present or project their services under the govt of the day. Abeg give them their flowers
you sabi. My father went to school in the early 60s on USAID assistance. No be today
If he had followed this your advice he would have lost.
harsysky: You lose the 500k. As it is, and with the pressure the Op is facing not to lose the fund, he should seek for a third party's help to give him a game to redeem his fund. Let him play Madrid to score today. He will get back his fund
