Ignorant Thing, the war in Gaza has nothing to do with religion.

You are the ignorant one here. Hamas openly declared they fight with Israel a jihad. Ho and educate yourself before coming here to type what you know nothing about.

MadPolitician:
Lets look at it this way; how many people are involved in rice farming in Nigeria?? Up to 100k citizens? What do they do with their excess profits? Build factories and industries? No! Create morw high paying jobs? I'm not seeing it. Or marry new wives, then go to upper and lesser hajj, maybe then buy new cars and mansions

Compare that with this;

How many people consume rice in Nigeria? Obviously, hundreds of millions of people . Its a staple that is eaten by almost every healthy Nigerian on a daily basis. That means hundreds of millions of consumers and thousands of retailers and wholesalers.

So, for how long will the government contineu to caliberate economic policies that only carter to the well being of a few thousand greedy farmers , while millions of citizens go hungry? They don't even pay taxes! I mean the socalled farmers. They just grab grab grab and grab.

And if all they do is to buy foreign commodities and properties abroad with their profits, such behaviour still instigates capital flight. If the rice farmers are not willing to drastically reduce their prices, the border should be thrown wide open for big rice imports. We should all not die because we want to help some ruthless rice farners.

What is wrong with you? You sit in your house and write what you don't know. Have you traveled to any of the rice producing communities? Well I have. I have been to at least 50 rice producing communities in this country.
Now let me educate you. In these communities, you don't find millionaires. You will see as much poverty as in any other part of the country.
I am in the business of wholesale foodstuffs so I know first hand. Your rice farmers are not making a crazy profit. If it's as easy as you think, why is every millionaire not investing in rice farming or why don't you start your own farm.
Stop spreading fake news.

What excuse? That's a fact. They've said it themselves. That's how those people are. You can't compare them to Japanese. They have a different culture.

Why they take that approach is beyond me. You see people having so much hate but not become terrorists. You see Africans suppressed by the West for years but they don't become terrorists.

On the other hand, some Muslims turn to terrorism to fight back against the West. The West think they can end it by eliminating their leaders but they're making a mistake. They only fuel the anger. They push even more people to join groups like Hamas and Hezbollah when they kill or injure their loved ones.

I have seen videos of non Hezbollah members saying they wished they were members after their loved ones were injured by Israeli strikes. One of them was the father of a small girl who lost half of her brain.

To be honest though, the West are not saints. They commit some of the very same acts they classify as terrorism. Look at what Israel is doing? What if the tables were turned?

As for why some Muslims turn to terrorism, there are many possible reasons. They see each other as brothers and sisters just because of their religion. Even if they are complete strangers, they see each other as one big family.

And then there's the argument people make that the Qur'an incites violence. Even though the Bible also incites violence, you don't see extreme Christian terrorists like Muslims.

It's very complicated, but the bottom line is people are different. The US and Israel don't understand the fundamental motivations of Hamas and Hezbollah and labelling them as terrorists only furthers that ignorance. They're fighting for land and freedom not in the name of religion. If they took time to understand them, they would approach things differently and handle the situation better.

Well I disagree with you. And I refuse to excuse bad behavior in the name of culture. Again, they are not an oppressed people as they claim.
I will also state that the west is not their problem. The world is a much better place because of the west that you seem to hate and blame for everything. My theory is that the only reason the war between Israel and Palestine continues is because the west is always standing in the way and holding Israel back.

Namaster:
This is the kind of FOOLISH and SLAVISH mentality that prepare people for being EXPLOITED by politicians, pastors and their employers.

Flood is a serious and DANGEROUS natural disaster.

Wading through dangerous and DIRTY water to attend a CDS is STUPID.

If there is a FLOOD, use your BRAIN!
STAY at home!

That's how 5 FOOLISH employees of a US company DIED because their boss, who was SAFELY at home, told them to stay at work. Even when the flooding got worse.

Use sense!

There is ZERO dignity in suffering.

Wisdom implies making the best choice out of the alternatives you are presented with.
For these coppers, the choices were
1. Get punished for not attending the meeting
2. Walk through a flooded street.

shoodboi2:
Netanyahu will soon flee into his bunker as he always does. A coward whose only power lies in weapons from the United States. Ordinary small Hamas, he has been unable to defeat and has resorted to committing a genocide instead.

While Nethanyahu hides in a bunker, Yahya SInwar took to the battlefield and fought to the very last. That is who a fighter, a commander and a leader is. A soldier to the very end. The same man who they lied to us had surrounded himself with hostages was actually on the battlefield fighting and destroying Nethanyahoo’s army🤣🤣🤣

And what about Hezbollah? After months of preparation and general noisemaking and three weeks of invasion, Nethanyahoo’s army is still yet to gain a foothold in Lebanon. They keep receiving missiles and rockets from Hezbollah fighters. And as usual, they have resorted to their usual tactic of bombing civilians once they lose on the battlefield.

I am happy that you are happy. In your mind the war is going the way you guys planned. Anyway this is a win win for all. We supporters of Israel are happy with the way the war is going and you the terror gang are pleased with the way your leaders are being flown on virgin airlines to their 72 virgins. No one is complaining.

helinues:
What did Ivory coast get or producing?

That's the thing, when we refuse to look at the global picture, we will continue to fall into the trap of a single story.
As of today, the Ivory coast is actually Nigeria's biggest trade partner in Africa. They have some of the biggest oil refining capacities in west Africa and produce more than enough petroleum products that they sell to other African countries. Most of their crude comes from Nigeria. They also have the biggest sea port in west Africa which also happens to be the second biggest in the entire Africa and a railway line that connects Ivory coast, Burkina Faso, and Niger. So much of Niger's imports come in through Ivory coast.
Don't think other countries are as messed up as Nigeria. Travel and you will be amazed at how Nigeria is being left behind.

Yukov:
Why do you always reply these trolls? I wouldn't be engaging them if I were you.

You are showing concern to your brother bah. You are teaching him you strategy. Let's see if he learns

helinues:


But the reverse have been the case for a while now. Niger get most of their stuffs from Nigeria. Which sea port do they have?

Just so you know, there is a direct train line from Abidjan to Niamey. Nigeria is not as important as you think it is. They have other more efficient routes to sea.

Christistruth02:
Tinubu is doing what needs to be done !

Or do you want to spend the next 30 years importing items supposed to be produced

In Nigeria including Petrol?

If that's what you tell yourself to sleep at night, good for you. I guess there 8s no need for further argument. Peace

Christistruth02:
You definitely needed to be replied

Ok so you have replied me. Good boy now you can run along. But before you go, spend some time on the thread again and ask yourself if the Ronu advice was worth it. Was it worth voting for the worst president in the nations history just because someone told you to Ronu.
You can keep arguing and presenting newspaper snapshots to the most unimportant questions while the only meaningful question is, how is the country doing under the Ronu gang. Tribalism is equal to failure.

Christistruth02:
Has Anambra given Imo and other SE States 35% of the Civil Service Positions in Anambra yet?

Just want to make sure

No insults please

I don't have the info you are asking of. And I don't see the need to insult you.
But the fact that you felt the need to reply me after a year and after we have witnessed the failure of Tinubu says a lot.

BigBrother9ja:

Israel confirmed it?
Has Hamas confirmed it?
TERRORIST Zionist pigs confirming nonsense.

Even if true,

Sinwar is not just a person
Sinwar is a MOVEMENT! .

FOR EVERY ONE FREEDOM FIGHTER LEADER KILLED, A HUNDRED MORE WILL RISE.

ISRA HELL IS A TIKING TIME BOMB TERRORIST STATE AND SOON, IT WILL BE COMPLETELY DESTROYED AND THOSE TERRORIST EUROPEAN MIGRANTS WILL LEARN THEIR LESSONS.

Israel is moving the movement. A foolish movement that has only brought sorrow tears and blood to the people he was supposed to protect.

shoodboi2:
Remember, this is the same Yahya Sinwar they told us was hiding in tunnels and had surrounded himself with hostages so that Israel won’t bomb him. He was killed on the battlefield fighting against IDF soldiers. He was not hiding in tunnels and did not surround himself with hostages.

Despite being a commander, he remained in the trenches fighting side by side with his men. He was not in the tunnels and did not surround himself with any hostage as they claim. Yahya Sinwar fought and fell like a true soldier and leader. Victory to the resistance ✌️

Oya na. Now he is a passenger of virgin airlines, the favorite airline for Islamic terrorists.

shoodboi2:
Yahya Sinwar died on the battlefield … fighting for the freedom of his people from the clutches of monsters who massacred them and stole their land because according to them “God told them to.”

How can God tell you to steal someone else's land and property?

These so-called Jews are Europeans who were chased out of Europe. They then went to the Middle East and set up a country on another person’s land, claiming they are following God’s commandments as written in the Torah (the Jewish holy book).

Victory to the resistance. We move.

Now he 8s about to be rewarded with 72 virgins. Your hero.

obinna58:
If stray bullet ever touch you you’ll understand the pain of suffering the consequences of another

The people of Gaza voted for Hamas. Elections have consequences

Jovi10:
The ideology became worldwide even after his death it's still being actively practiced.

Where is fascism being practiced? What about Japanese militarism which was the ideology in the Empire of Japan?
Again even if Nazism wasn't destroyed it was rendered 100x less destructive.
It killed over 30 million people in 6 years and has killed less than 500k people in the next 80 years. Do the maths.

Jovi10:
And after 1929? Did Israel remain in the lands bought? There's a reason the West Bank is called occupied Palestine for a reason.

So if you want us to discuss what happened after 1929 we would but let's get it clear, the Arabs began the trouble in the land. Secondly, the west bank is not occupied land, it is disputed land. It never officially belonged to a Palestinian nation. Israel captured it from Jordan who also took it by force. Before 1947, there were many Jewish villages and settlements in Jerusalem and the west bank. When Jordan captured the land, they kicked out at least 25k Jews from the land. So let's call it disputed land not occupied land. It doesn't legally belong to the Palestinians.

Jovi10:
Hitler started small with the ideology and Europe supported him. Before he went full blown.

Well let's not divert, my point remains that if not for WW2, by now Hitlers ideology would have been world wide. So you can defeat an ideology via war.
Same goes for the Japanese ideology.
Fascism was also killed in Italy by war. So the idea that an ideology can't be defeated by weapons is unproven and wrong.

Jovi10:
Why did the arabs attack? You expect them to keep quiet while Israel keeps grabbing their lands and pushing them out. Even macron said it recently, Israel was formed through a UN resolution.

Even if you believe that Israel grabbed Arab land, by 1929, there wasn't a single plot of grabbed land yet. The Jews by that time only occupied land they legally bought from the Arabs. In the 1920s and 30s, it was the Arabs grabbing Jewish land.
The link below shows you who began the violence.

Ikaeniyan0:
Netayanhu is becoming very arrogant. The people of Gaza need help, he should let them have access to help. You want to destroy Hamas shouldn't mean the people of Gaza to suffer. The people of Gaza should have unlimited access to health care and hot meals.

Please explain how to destroy Hamas without the people of Gaza being affected. War tactician.
It's been over a year of fighting in Gaza yet not one civilian has died of malnutrition.
Do you know where people are dying of malnutrition? I am sure you don't. Sudan. Africa.
How many times have you posted on Nairaland about the war in Sudan? Bloody hypocrites.

TruthU87:
100%

Nigeria was created by the united kingdom. How does this matter in today's world?
Israel is not answerable to the UN just as Nigeria doesn't take it's orders from the UK

Jovi10:
Hitler started this was too. He was supported by the west then gradually he became a full force.

I don't understand how this answers any of the question or issues above? Please link you above thoughts to the discussion.

Jovi10:
It's a deferent scenario. The Germans where the ones who invaded. Israel was the one who invaded Palestine. After the WW2 the west brought Israelis to Palestine and the Palestinians accepted them only for Israel to start grabbing and killing them.

So you mean no German and japanese child got there feelings hurt. The Atomic bomb was dropped on a civilian population.
Again can you show me anywhere in history where the situation you are describing happened.
Lastly, if you know your history, it was the Arabs (Palestinians) who began the invasion.
Below are a few links
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1920_Nebi_Musa_riots
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1929_Hebron_massacre
It was the Arabs that started killing the Jews and not the other way around.

Are you arguing with a bot? Do you think it can understand you?

Lol

GOTVee:
Even though I'm a born again Christian, all I know is that one day Isreal will be defeated. The atrocities of that tiny country cannot be over looked and I urge my fellow Christian brothers to boycott pilgrimage to Jerusalem henceforth.

Isreal has derailed from the path of God by killing women and children. Let's pray for the innocent Palestinians and Lebanese people been bombed for nothing

Whenever someone boast of being born again, I know he is about to scam.
By your fruits we shall know you. No one in the entire bible went around declaring himself a born again.
Now to the topic at hand, you really need to educate yourself more on the issue.
Israel will not be bombing Gaza if October 07 did not happen. Israel will not be bombing Lebanon if Hezbollah didn't start it first. Hezbollah has been bombing Israel since October 8 last year.

Jovi10:
The bone of contention is Nazism is still very much alive and people are still being killed from that ideology. It brings us back to my initial statement that an ideology cannot be defeated with weapons. Nazism is growing gradually, supported by those who fought Nazis during WW2. USA called azov battalions terrorist before the war with Russia began, now that the, war began , USA is in support of this same azov and gives them weapons and even calls them freedom fighters. Canada even invited a ex Nazi to Canada and he was given a standing ovation.

Let's assume you are right and let's claim Nazism is killing people today but it's killing less then 1% of those it killed 80 years ago so that's proof that bullets are very successful in dismantling ideologies.
To me, if you can reduce killings by over 99%, I call it a big success.
If Israel can do the same, the world will be a better place.

Jovi10:
What Israel is doing to Hamas won't end anytime soon. The innocent children who's parents have been killed will only harbor hate and want revenge making them easy for Hamas members to mobilize them and bring them into their ideology. Then they will plan another attack and Israel retaliates and then the cycle keeps repeating itself no matter how long .

Neither you nor I are the time keeper for this war but the goal for Israel is to destroy Hamas no matter how long it takes.
On the kids, how come German and japanese kids did not harbor hate and mobilize after WW2 . Do you have any historical example of where the kind of situation you are describing occured?
If Israel is allowed to crush Hamas this thing ends.
If Israel is not allowed, the cycle you describe will continue.

Championhala:
Nigerians in Nigeria are very lazy folks who feels that the government is responsible for everything while some even escape paying of taxes.
But when they travel out the survival instincts sets in

Just travel out and compare Nigerians in Nigeria to people of other countries and you will learn. I say no more

PEACE2023:
Greed is the strong selfish desire for possessions, wealth, or power.
A desire to eat more food than is necessary.
Based on the definitions above, if you are comfortable to have all the basic life amenities such as, house, cars, Good Jobs, good family and investment etc and you abandon all these or sold your property to japa for the sake of dollars and pounds, you are greedy.

Base on what you enumerated above no one going abroad is greedy.
How many government workers earn up to 1 million naira monthly? Note,that a one million salary can't get you kids to good schools, can't buy a new car,or build a good house. A 1 million naira salary can't pay for some medical emergencies. To me, your problem is that you have very low ambition and you have gotten comfortable with suffering.
If your kid is able to attend Harvard and Oxford university, that doesn't make you greedy. Being able to afford a brand new SUV does not make you greedy.
But being a director in the civil service and embezzling funds makes one greedy.

PEACE2023:
What even bothers me more is that majority of them that japa don't have a career Job in abroad.
We have seen a lot of them telling us the mistakes they made.
If there is no Igboman in my set in the next 15 years, then no Igboman will be a director as at then so we should not be chanting marginalization when we marginalized ourselves because of greed.

Oga, what is the salary of a director in the federal government? How many years does it take to climb to that position?
Again how do you define greed? If leaving your country for greener pastures is your definition of greed then you need prayers.

Jovi10:
Ask pro Russians that have been killed by Ukraine's azov battalion in the donbass region since 2014.

Oga Russia is fighting Ukraine not Nazi.
But even we agree that this is a war between Russia and the Nazi, only in 6 years of WW2, the Nazi was responsible for the deaths of over 30 million people. If the allied powers were thinking like you and refused to go after the ideology, since you don't defeat ideologies with war how much more would have died.
So even if you accuse the Nazi of all deaths in the Russian Ukraine war, that's still less than 1% of the deaths of WW2.
If Israel can do the same with the Hamas ideology, I will not complain. Or what do you think?
