Nice and fair article.

It sums up the true state of the country called Nigeria
Re: How Kidnappers, Zealots & Rebels Are Making Nigeria Ungovernable - Economist UK by Naijiriana: 6:01am On Oct 21, 2021
Nice reportage. However, I find it that the writer has intentionally or ignorantly skipped some aspects and under reported some.

What he calls "Farmers Herders" crises had been there since. However, the herders being emboldened by their brother in power, it took a deadlier turn since Buhari came on sit. I remember as at the time of my NYSC in 2016, a guy from Agatu in Benue State narrated how the machete-weilding Fulani herders upgraded to wielding guns. That was no coincidence.

No mention of how Buhari's Nepotism and Ethno-religous biases has contributed greatly to the problem.

He didn't mention how the Federal Government through the military have been complicit in the whole problem, prompting Retired Army Gen. T.Y Danjuma to sound a warning to Nigerians that "if they're waiting on the military to save them, they will die one by one."

He didn't mention how federal security elements extra judicially executed thousands of armless and peaceful IPOB protesters. Dumping them in shallow mass graves, the evidents are there on the internet. Amnesty International, never stopped harping on this.

How did he come up with some of his numbers?
That the Nigerian civil war claimed just a million lives?
That the Igbos are just "a sixth of the Nigerian population"?
That only 25% of Southerners oppose the imposed sit-at-home order?

It''s very easy to see his bias even as he tries hard but failed to hide it.

Posterity Will never judge his kind fairly.

Nigeria will succeed Insha Allah. When cownu instigated death against our security forces and civilians in the east, it was from the comfort of a western country using Western media and mobilising resources through Western banks.

The weaponry that is all over the Sahel came from the carelessness and excessses of Western NATO, till this moment a lot of the weaponry flooding west Africa comes largely from the west.

When someone tell you a story, but neglects the role he actively play in creating such problem. It should be clear he only is waging whatever war he has started against you.

You said out soldiers are stretched thing fighting accursed terrorists in the NE, but the same you gave a wannabe terrorists cownu the space to mobilize against the same country. Is it no clear you are only interested in crippling such country?

Nigeria that has failed already, is what this Parasitic Fulani is saying will survive?
Read the Article properly and you will see where it said "The only thing keep Nigeria together is the Corruption of its Leaders, represented by Buhari and his Jihadist, terrorist, Fulani Herdsmen".
Whether anyone likes it or not, Nigeria is dead, just waiting to be buried.

It is just a matter of Time....

The article touches on a lot of valid points though I don't agree with some things the article writer wrote. Nonetheless, Nigeria cannot continue in the trajectory it is currently going. Today, I saw a customs official on TVC news channel talking about how he gave bandits in the bush 7 bags of rice. Why are bandits being given 7 bags of rice while Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and Chief Sunday Igboho are locked up for no other reason but because they called for referendum? Is that fair? Why are people who are causing others hurt and pain being paid money, given bags of rice and offered job positions in the Nigerian army while others who are asking for referendum are tortured in jail or DSS dungeon and the army sent to their home to have them killed?

And as for Britain, the thunder that will strike them is still doing press up in the gym. If they are allowed to conduct referendum to decide if they want to Brexit or not, why can't Africans be allowed to decide if they want to stay together or not? Why don't we have the right for self determination like they the whites do? Former Soviet Union broke into several countries after it disintegrated. So why can't African countries with many incompatible ethnic groups be allowed to decide what is best for them? Answer: Because bloody Britain is benefiting from Nigeria. Nigeria is Britain's cash cow. The white man is just as greedy as the black man in my opinion and won't mind that people continue getting killed as long as he can get his pale fingers on our resources. After all, isn't that what it has always been about?

Britain talks about how corrupt Nigerian leaders are but the same Britain welcomes Nigerian leaders to Britain and helps hide all their loot in British and other western world bank accounts. In my humble opinion, the English man is just as corrupt, greedy and heartless as the African leader he loves to condemn. Point, blank, period!

You know you can lie as much as you want but Kanu did not only call for a referendum.

He requested those under his command to kill and destroy.

From pastors to State actors, to properties as well as members of the armed forces.

This time last year, Kanu specifically asked those under his command to seek the children of politicians to ensure they are maimed.

He also requested the burning of the Oriental hotel and other similar properties.

This is not in dispute and once you start to find an argument concerning this matter, then it becomes evident you are not truthful.

There is a lot of sophistry in the article, going through it you would think the British are uninterested and unbiased arbiters to the conflicts in Nigeria but that that will be a mistake, the British are in fact partial to Fulani interests and are very deep in the mess that is Nigeria. God pass them till eternity..Biafra will be free to their consternation!

Ouch! No sugar coating.
Very painful reading indeed, only a matter of time before the country becomes a failed state.
And like a poster said they misreported the Fulani killer herdsmen as farmers n herdsmen clash, at least that's a win for Buhari.
They also underreported police brutality, extortion and kidnappings. Not to mention the economy, that one name another story.

The situation in the country is so bad, as bad as its never been, and there a are few idiots still defending this Buhari's administration. Disgraceful. Shameless beings.

“With so many forces pulling Nigeria apart, some might wonder how it has held together. One reason is that most Nigerians feel a strong sense of nationalism. “We are stronger together,” says Chukwuemeka, a south-easterner, though he also says that “Buhari has put a knife in what unites us.” In some ways, tolerance has improved, polls suggest. In 1990 almost a third of Nigerians said they would object to having a neighbour of a different race or ethnicity. By 2020 that had fallen to 16%” [quote author=afube post=106922412]


This is part is wrong in all ramifications. Nigerians are divided now, more than ever. And there is no sense of nationalism among Nigerians except for those from the North who of course claim false nationalism just to maintain the status quo.

The write of the article tried to hide his bias to the undiscerning mind albeit unsuccessfully.

This Economist UK report is garnished with subtles lies in favour of the murderous buhari and terrorist fulani acolytes in the nigerian government. There were almost tempted to call IPOB a terrorist group but that would have made their bias too obvious and shattered the whole article as a tissue of fallacies that it is.

People that compiles this articles is not even a regular Nigerians before resident zombies will start their usual denials and consolations but writers or historians that compiles this write up comprises technocrats all over the world.I always laugh at some people when they keep on consoling themselves with Buhari and his Fulani brothers threat that unity of Nigeria is unnegotiable.If almighty Yugoslavia with so much potentials and progress that everybody thought that can never disintegrate can disintegrate is it Nigeria with multi ethinic groups, different culture and religious differences will not disintegrate.Unity beggars should keep on fooling themselves that their Nigeria is immune to disintegration and when it happens those tribes that sit on the fence waiting for Biafra to be crushed again like it happened in 1970 so that they will either claimed abandoned properties of Igbos or use Igbos money in their Nigeria Banks to send their people to school,do owembe,build Lagos and send their people to Landon and other Western Worlds should get ready to be disappointed cos Igbos are fully ready for whatever that is coming to Nigeria and It will be bloody.If some people like let them keep on calling Igbos chest beaters but they will have themselves to blame if they are not prepared by piling arms and ammunition just like some weaker tribes in old Yugoslavia fails to get prepared when wars was blewing and when war started their region was used as a battle field

Shatap.

Nobody has to pick a side.

You guys started on the wrong foot by insulting all other tribes before even soliciting for a common ground.

I remember Kanu specifically asking for Pastor Kumuyi to be stoned should he visit Aba for a crusade.

One would wonder what Kumuyi's crime was other than being Yoruba.

From the writeup, it can be seen that you guys want even the oil producing parts that aren't necessarily Igbo.
