Nigeria Needs to Probe the Sudden Interest and Intent of the West in the So Called Christian Genocide...


Christians have been killed in large numbers in Nigeria for decades - during republican and democratic governments in the U.S. One could call these killings genocide if you evaluate intent and the number of victims... There is a church attack as recent as this week in Kwara State, Nigeria. Nigeria has had serious issues of insecurity for over 15 years now - Boko Haram, banditry, Fulani herdsmen attacks... The West kept quiet so far, just as they have been quiet about the DR Congo crisis, or the Sudan genocide from both sides of the warring parties. Why the interest in Nigeria at this crucial time... I hate conjuring theories or conspiracy... but the motivation of powerful countries is always hard to decipher... They give nothing for free... if they show interest, it means there is something to gain...

The same West that is crying genocide in Nigeria denied there is genocide in Gaza, or refused to stand fully behind Ukraine. They have not lifted a finger to help quench the madness in the Sudan with one of the worst humanitarian crises brewing. It is hard to trust Trump's intent in the Nigerian situation. Nigeria has resisted U.S. military base in the country for a long time. This is an opportunity to force one, and Nigeria will be made to pay for it. Nigeria's economy is showing signs of recovery that threaten some U.S. exports. How are we sure this is not about economic gains for the West?

Nigerians are the only ones who can solve their problems themselves.. No U.S. base is needed, no exchange of rare earth minerals or ceding of any territorial power. If the U.S. wants to help, they can provide intelligence and modern weapons to help Nigeria defeat insecurity. A safe Nigeria is a prosperous Nigeria that mean more economic gains for the West. I hope the pressure from outside will cause the current leadership in Nigeria to get its act together and deal a big blow to insecurity and Christian killings.

STATE OF THE NATION - Nigeria takes one step forward, and ten steps backward...

I just came back from Nigeria . I traversed the length and breadth of the nation a bit in my three-week stay. Something is different about the country compared to when I visited last year.... The people are more desperate... Hunger has increased astronomically.... The gap between the haves and have-nots has further widened... You feel impunity in the air... You see police collecting bribes openly like we have not seen since the Shagari era in 1983... There are more law enforcement agents on the roads now, yet the crime rate has not abated... You see VIO , Road Safety, State Law enforcers, the Police, everywhere mounting illegal roadblocks... I heard things from those close to the seat of power about those who hold the reins of power, and I weep for Nigeria - it is beyond disheartening... Projects are being abandoned because a significant portion has been given as bribes to government officials like governors and ministers, including major monarchs - they all collect money for projects...

WHO SHOULD OR SHOULD NOT HAVE NUKES IN OUR WORLD TODAY?

I quote the father of nukes himself, Albert Einstein , “ Mankind invented the atomic bomb , but no mouse would ever construct a mousetrap ”… No nation should have nukes. If some would, then any nation who want should be able to… current situation creates a power imbalance because those who have it are seen as extremely powerful, and those who don’t are extremely weak nations… Here is a list of nations with nukes – declared and undeclared: U.S., China, Russia, Pakistan, India, France, UK, Israel, and North Korea . These countries host nukes from other countries – Germany , Italy , Türkiye , Belgium , Netherlands and Belarus … Many of USSR ’s former regions like Ukraine and Kazakhstan had nukes, and were tricked to give them up, a decision they all regret today. It is known that Japan , though do not have nukes, have capabilities to develop and launch them within a short time, even from the space. Why can’t other nations have nukes? Ownership of nukes is why Iran is holding the...
