the source is the UN united nations organisation , the UNODC , United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime so not t some unknown or unrecognized organization https://www.unodc.org/unodc/en/about-unodc/index.html?ref=menutop

and again im sure that countries on the the list like ( South Africa , DRC , Uganda , Nigeria , Ethiopia ,Tanzania ,. Sudan , Kenya ,Egypt , Algeria , Morocco ect... ) are not a jungle without born , death registers and polices services like you think

Thanks .I will check out your think.

You are jumping the gun there soldier, no one said countries without proper data are jungles. The concern is that there are countries who have computerized data capturing systems in all their police stations and hospitals and we can't hide the fact that in the continent there are still more without these facilities. So my question is , how accurate is the data from a town/ village with no good functioning hospital/ police station? And again there are still countries with no clear data on how many they really are. Perhaps when I go through your link some of the questions will be answered.

Maduawuchukwu:


Na you wan buy Gun for am?

Guns will come from Russia, Israel, etc Of course in exchange for oil fields after the war

Algerian1:


what ? i m sur all countries on the list have register of born , and declaration of death and police services that know the number of Intentional Homicide stats

Got to argue with how accurate they are as well, after all TIA(This is Africa), Chkil

Negro comes from the Latin word for black, so it's good that you've addressed that.

They further discovered that nearly 220 languages have disappeared while 880 languages are still in use in India. And over the past 50 years India has lost about 250 languages. [https://www.readmeindia.com/how-many-languages-in-india/] The credible sources are so numerous that I have to pick out these few to bring to your attention. Obviously, in term of multiplicity or diversity of spoken languages, Nigeria is no match compared to India!

What oil fields are you talking about for God's sake? You don't even know much about this topic.

They may not win but they are capable of causing so much disturbance that the county becomes ungovernable.

Na who go give them the money to pay for all these weapons? Support for Kanu is weak among the elite and the economy of Igbo land is not based on extractive industry where you can quickly acquire ammunition buy selling stolen crude. Nnamdi Kanus support is because of the animal Buhari who divided Nigeria in his earliest presidential chats.

Its not that complicated. Rwanda somehow got truck loads of machettes that were used to kill Tutsis at a moments notice. Just think of people like Kony, Garang, who have been fighting wars lasting decades. There is always a way. Nigeria's is worse off with the open sahel and the instability of Libya, etc. I think the place will probably get their supplies from the East - Cameroon, Congo(trouble) ----- and as far East as it takes.

There is no war worth mentioning which lacks the US on one side(of the rebels mostly) and Russia on the government side.

There are also people, Nigerians in this case, who for their own self preservation, will fund. The problem will not be weapons.

Hmmm. but any insurgency has elements for success without which it will fritter out like maitasine and many other insurgencies. I do not see success for Nnamdi Kanu except Buhari and the northern establishment further pushes the Igbo to him. As far as Osibanjo continues his peace building efforts Kanus support will fall.

Muafrika2:

And the western nations, China and Brazil who are the major stakeholders in Nigeria oil industry will be watching like mannequin?
Russia is the largest producer of Energy in the world, what will be their interest in Nigeria oil which they have in abundance and even seeking for foreign investors to invest in?

I also think we can use this opportunity to fight for a form of regional Government. This is why folks like Nnamdi kanu are relevant, and come once in a while to put pressure on the Government. We are under utilizing our potential, and we have to change this system of Government that has not worked now for about 47 years.
The south east Biafrans, the oil rich south south, the south west, the middle belt, and reasonable core northerners must come together to fight for a form of resource control with about 40% contribution from all regions to Abuja. We could use kanu's agitation to put pressure on APC for restructuring now that Bubu is away.

Yeah. That is one funny thing in human affairs. Figures like Kanu are the ones who drive society to effect change. The media and some folks have already latched unto this Nnamdi Kanu situation to demand restructuring and Osibanjo said that the government will roll out some measures as regards restructuring. Let us see how far Osibanjo will go.

True. There are losses to make in any war, and the traditional rulers and upper class Nigerians who have business interests, government jobs, would prefer peace. Such people, especially traditional rulers are also trusted and probably hold more sway with the masses. Do any support him?

Am curious as to why the government is not touching him. And am not talking about a court procedure. Who is he that he's getting away with all these - incitement, disregard to court orders, threats to national security, etc etc. Is he related to a former coup leader?

Nnamdi Kanu was just released from prison after a 2 year detention which saw his popularity rise. The government does not want to make him a martyr. They are hoping for a political solution likely. Also arresting him is further going to strain Nigeria as worse offenders than him like some herdsmen who kill people in their farms are walking about freely.

[quote author=Maduawuchukwu post=58218318][/quote]
the fact that nnamdi kanu fulfilled his "draconian" bail conditions shows that he has considerable support among igbo elites (you needn't see his personal motorcade to know).
The guys philosophy is also gradually encroaching into south eastern universities.The only setback the fed government can latch onto, is the dichotomy between igbos who has strong roots to the east and south south, and the igbo who doesn't.
the method of warfare has vastly changed. boko Haram and the Niger delta militants showed that getting arms is now very easy (the missing armouries of many African armies is some where in circulation-besides, the technology behind such aren't restricted anymore).
The good thing about this kanu situation , is that issues normally swept under the carpet in Nigeria, is now every day discussion. I only hope the Feds see the writing on the wall and save Nigeria before its too late.

This is why I think Nigeria has greater freedom of expression than most African democracies. I think he wasn't ever a politician when he started this.

no, he was smart enough to build up massive discipleship in London before coming back to Nigeria. Fulani herdsmen (the current president tribe) attack allover the country,the skyrocketing cost of living and alleged marginalization, made the guy sort of became a rallying call for Nigeria's 3rd biggest tribe .ipob rallies/sit at home was also getting international coverage (especially after tangible proof of the military extrajudicial killings of ipobites) .Nigeria is in such a tribal tension that a little bit of shove might deteriorate into the tribal massacres pre Civil war.
