Reflect7:


Ignorant response of a bigot. Over 99% of northerners have not ''armed their children'' or asked their children to be terrorists. Be human, which is what you are first, before being a 'southerner' or 'northerner'.

What percentage of Igbos are IPOB??
What percentage supports Nnamdi Kanu??

If you have ever read stories about the Nigerian army ransacking a village in the east, killing and destroying the properties of innocent villagers in the name of looking for the hideouts of unknown gunmen and kept quiet, then you are the PRESIDENT GENERAL of BIGOTS.

Let the other tribes in the train cry for their citizens. All lives matter but since Nigeria under buhari has shown Igbos that our lives doesn't matter, we decided to place value on the life of the Igbo ourselves. If others hate you, the worst thing to do is to hate yourself also.

As a footnote, hope you saw the DSS memo accusing IPOB of trying to bomb the Abuja stadium yesterday? I leave you to your conscience

My Yolloba brother.
I hope you will be very "happen" today.

Beside, let me say it clear to you.......the blood of a single igbo person is greater than that of your three coward brothers combined.

Didn't many died on the train (I know Yolloba person is involved too)??....... which one among them caused an uproar.

If you answer it.........you jejely go off my mention angry
It didn't cause uproar cos we're not attention seeking tribe. Na una dey do 'see me', no other tribe get that luxury of time to be seeking relevance where there's none. To an average Nigerian, ibo and ebira no different so stop giving yourself unnecessary importance.

Check my monicker I have make several comment expressing the fact the Chinolo death is as relevant as the death of others killed by same badit with not a thing special.

The Igbos love to sell themselves superior over others with their noise but I don't buy such foolishness. The Igbo rejoiced n mocked Yorubas when bandit attacked Oyo state n Yorubas fled to Benin republic I wonder why they are now seeking the emphaty sympathy they never gave.

You're not different from market thugs.

Why do you think it's only you going through hardship in the country.

Your sentimental sentiments has beclouded your level of reasoning not to think that there are more than 60 Nigerians that died In that attack.

But you keep on emphasizing on one person.
When there are many hausas, Ibos, Yorubas and other tribes that went with the most unfortunate incidence.

Meanwhile,it does not mean that you care about the dead but you want to use the unfortunate incidence to chase clout.

Most of the people who use the internet are from the South. Especially this site.

Also, people identify with a pretty face. (Pretty girl syndrome). In the USA, a missing girl case gets traction if the girl is a blonde haired white girl. Same for murdered girl. Other colors, especially black women, meh.

Here in Nigeria, Chinelo is a pretty Southern gal. Most people who use the internet are Southerners like her...from the middle and upper classes. They would identify with her far more than a Northerner.

It's part psychological, part tribal, part disunity....
gbamsolutely!
Btw why should Southerners worry for people that don't even value their own lives? Northerners have voices they should speak up for themselves.
Re: Kaduna Train Attack: Most Nigerians Are Very Ignorant by hucknall: 1:05pm On Mar 30, 2022
Tallesty1:
You people are not honest in this space.

Chi's gender, tribe and beauty has nothing to do with the emphasis being placed on her death.

Why her death stood out among the many is because....


1. She called out for help on Twitter.

2. The nature of the responses she got from Twitter.

Supposing she didn't post on Twitter, nobody would have know that she was there until at least the time others were discovered.

Nobody will have any reason to be more angry over her death if the tweeps didn't use her call for help to catch cruise.
to be honest those factors had a lot to do with it than you think.
1. Naturally the society is sympathetic to girls especially pretty ones. They feel they are eggs are should be protected.
2. Her being a Southerner and a doctor is something most people can relate to.
Most of us have young girls like her in our families.
3. Southerners have more media value... 30 people dead in Niger State might not make a fuss. But 30 killed in Lagos will obviously shake mountains.

I wish you all that you prayed for. If I beat you, it is your duty to cry individually irrespective of how many other people were beaten with you.

Most of you Nigerians cheapened the sanctity of human lives that's why we no longer talk about the killings in zamfara and many other parts of the country.

One life is too precious to loose. If we cry about one, does it negate the fact that other people died? Or does the fact that other people died reduce the fact that what happened is an AVOIDABLE DISASTER??

I wouldn't expect a dumbass like you to answer the questions objectively. Let everyone weep for their dead. If you cared less about your folks and dismiss tragedies that happen to them, don't expect others to do the same.

Tell me, what was your views and participation during the end SARS protest? Many of your family members (thugs) were sent to disrupt the protest because victims of police brutality does not matter to you.

If you are half as reasonable as I thought, you would have read through my earlier assertion to see that such level of reasoning is beyond the level of that of a thug.

On a lighter note, it takes a thug to know one, but NEWSFLASH, I am not a member of your FAMILY.

Since the attack happened there has been so much emphasis about the doctor that died because she is from the south east and based in the North.

Over 60 people died in that attack and so many others injured as well and 80% for these victims are northerners but so far, no body has cared about these innocent lives that were lost only to be bringing up sentiment for one victim that was involved because of her tribe.

When will Nigerians learn to become one regardless of tribe and religion in order to use one voice from North, South, East and West to challenge any failing government?

When will Nigerians stop being tribal bigots and identify themselves as one human being in same nation to stand together and fight for good governance instead of attacking one another.

This is 2022 and we are still like this, it's a big shame to us all.

The Igbos love to sell themselves superior over others with their noise but I don't buy such foolishness. The Igbo rejoiced n mocked Yorubas when bandit attacked Oyo state n Yorubas fled to Benin republic I wonder why they are now seeking the emphaty sympathy they never gave.
chinelo was not the only Igbo killed in that train attack, but what makes her popular was that she beg her fellow Nigerians to please pray for her that she was shot but the Yorubas insulted her, calling her BIAFRA and mocking her till her death. She saw the hates Nigeria have against her before she died.

If you know this train rout between Abuja and kaduna after Jere town the track run through bush till kurmin Kare where it cross road to the other lane then run through the bush till rigasa in kaduna.
Thank God she even saw network, her phone was her only means on communicating to the world for help but Yorubas took it upon themselves to mock her because she was Igbo.

dear OP don't ever try to educate southerners.
I've always taught and openly criticised northerners of ethnic bigotry and religious fanatism but I've come to realize that northerners are even better.
maybe the bigots in the north do so cause of illiteracy but that can't be said of the south.
when the death of a soldier comes in, they rush to check if it's a Christian so they can express hate towards north. everything is bigotry to them.
all this happened in the face where by the chief of defence staff is a christai. from the south.
the highest ranking military personnel in the country.
but you see them, they always have a way of justifying every foolishness.
they couldn't respect dead people.
it's a big shame honestly. just leave them don't ever school them, you already said 80% of the casualties see northerners but still despite that, they still justify their imaginary bigotry.
they know bandits didn't go around killing only southerners, they know for sure and you don't need to tell them but just let them expose their hate.
the north are not little infants but every hate given to us is gonna Bleep us all up.
I'm from d south and I quite agree with almost all u've said, except that u lumped d south together instead of pinpointing the region of the south known for this tribal madness.

Everywhere these goons go, its all the same: chaos!

When u hear south Africans fights Nigerian traders", its them, if u hear (ordinary) Togo fight Nigerian traders", u know its them.

Their bigotry knows no bound, and I'm quite ashamed of being a fellow southerner with them.

I've had cause to say that I prefer a honest Muslim Hausa to lead me than a hate-filled bigoted fellow christian southerner.

What u said about checking of names b4 passing judgment does nor only affect northerners, it affects southerners too. Once they see that ur name doesn't sound like theirs (even if u are a fellow southern christian) na to begin look for ways to pull u down, and if u are 'lucky' to share d same tribe with them, u automatically get a pass irrespective of d gravity of us actions

I'm sorry for what u guys go thru, but if u are conversant with social media, u must have seen that their madness neither knows no boundary nor tribe but theirs and theirs alone!

Let everyone mourn their losses. When the south was protesting against police brutality through the END SARS protest, the North backed out and even said that SARS is not their problem. That we emphasize on our loss does not negate the fact that other people died or that they are not important. If the solidarity you are looking for now we didn't get it during the END SARS campaign, then you need to check the meaning of the word HYPOCRISY
