Why Are People Condemning LAKURAWAS Terrorist Group In Nigeria(my Opinion)? by Botragelad: 3:36pm On Nov 10, 2024
I've been following the emergence of this new terrorist group in North Nigeria, Africa, and I'm not surprised by the selective condemnation from certain individuals, particularly Muslims. It seems inconsistent to denounce this group while supporting Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis, who target Israel and the West.

Why the double standard? If these groups are deemed 'resistance' movements/fighters, why not extend the same label to Boko Haram, LAKURAWAS, and ISWAP, who seek to control specific regions in Nigeria? Just like Houthis, ISIS, Hezbollah, Hamas are doing in their regions.

In case you aren't aware, It's hypocritical to demand military action and airstrikes against these African terrorist groups while condemning Israel for similar actions. Think about the consequences if these terrorists gain control of states in Nigeria, as Hezbollah and the Houthis have done, they ate into their population, recruited many for their fight and propaganda and labelled themselves as resistance.

Would you tolerate being told that LAKURAWAS or Boko Haram are 'resistance fighters' against the Nigerian government? Religious terrorism is real and threatens your own country one way or another.

Supporting Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis while condemning similar groups in Africa, Nigeria is sheer hypocrisy. The terrorism you enable and support today may ultimately consume your nation if you don't tackle it head-on.

I don't think it's the same thing because fed govt didn't migrate from somewhere else and settled on BH, IPOB, ISWAP, LALAKUKULALA"s land....


They are not resisting, they are confronting

The LALAKUKULALA are not even Nigerians

Anyone can make the bolded claim! 🤷‍♂️

By the way, when the original owners who have been displaced by these terrorist come for their land would you still call the terrorist resistance? What are they resisting and what's their land?

I fundamentally have never been against Boko Haram ideology... Just their method of operation picking up arms to fight a state is not smart, then killing innocent people again is worse

They want an islamic State in the core north please give them.... Absolutely I fully support an independent Islamic State of northern Nigeria

But not an inche of middle belt land would be added... All lands from southern Kaduna, gombe, Bauchi, brono, yobe, down belong to middle belt even the ones taken in the last 200 years would be recovered

People would say how about IPOB... Out of all the over 20 biafran group IPOB is the only one I have sympathy for even though I don't understand or support their method ... I have always maintained that if I am IPOB I would go political route

No not form a party no... But listen to all the candidates and release a list of candidate for my people to vote for 2 days before the election across party lines... That way no body can corrupt the movement and you have political leaders loyal to you

Again I don't really want a fully independent Biafra na I would prefer more like a Chechnya or kudistian arrangements with Nigeria

I mean the terrorists are not resistant like Hamas

Nobody took their land. Instead they are the ones doing the taking of other people's land.

Consider this scenario: if tomorrow, they assert that their land was stolen by the Nigerian government, would that justify their actions?
Let's examine similar cases. Hezbollah and the Houthis also stole, invaded people's land and laid claim to it, we are talking government controlled area. Does that make them 'resistance' groups?

What precisely is Hamas resisting? Specifically, which lands have been taken from them?

Hamas
Hezbollah
Are political movement not terror group according United Nations Organization.

Banning the United Nations Secretary-General from entering Israel will not change UN position.

You're having a laugh, right? That screenshot you shared is utter rubbish! Did you even glance through it? That was just some UN official spouting off, not the UN itself making an official statement.
Now, the UN's never actually said that Hamas and Hezbollah aren't terrorist groups. Unless you can prove otherwise with a proper source.

Numerous countries have designated these organisations as terrorist groups, yet you want us to take your word for it. 😂
Grab a seat!

Nigerians are condemning lakurawas because it is a terrorist group, just like ISWAP, Boko haram, and zionists.

The same Nigerians support Hamas and Hezbollah because they are resistance groups. They are defending their people against the zionist terrorists who stole their land and murder their people at will.

The fact that the Nigerians who support Hamas and Hezbollah condemn Boko haram, ISWAP, and Lakurawas should make this clear. It's common sense.
