So we should trade our sovereignty over a mere $600 million dollars? Not even on the pain of some more serious economic sanctions but American aid? To hell with Trump. Nigeria makes over $40 billion annually he can keep his chicken change. 8 Likes 1 Share |

porka: You clearly don't understand this Jerusalem issue, let me explain In a lay man terms. Once upon a time the Jews were defeated and they fled Jerusalem, after some time a group of people occupied some part of the land for about 800-1300 years, (Which was normal during that time, the present Americans are not the aboriginals, same can be obtain in Nigeria, people migrate...). After a long time the Jews came back to claim the land. Now I know you gonna ask some questions like Who were the original owners before it was occupied, i will answer you by saying The Jews also migrated there. Any right thinking person would condemn the current occupation of All part of Jerusalem by the isreali force, Wrong is wrong no matter who is involve. I don't expect you to support the truth cous you are blinded by religious sentiments. 10 Likes 5 Shares |

Efewestern: This is very childish, to say it nicely. You said... "Jews were defeated and fled Jerusalem." "After a long time Jews came back and reclaimed the land." What exactly is the problem you have? Is it that you are happy they were defeated and fled? Or is it that you are unhappy that they came back to reclaim the land? Let people know your problem. 11 Likes |

porka: Didn't they (Jews) defeated a group of people before obtaining the land?, or did they bring the land from heaven?, or was the land exclusively made for them? can they try this with strong nations, or is it because Palestine are weak? Again Wrong is wrong no matter who is involve. 5 Likes 3 Shares |

Efewestern: You are going back and forth with your sentiment. Whatever you do, let it be at the back of your mind that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. No UN (non-binding) resolution can alter that. Donald Trump simply implemented the law of his country. The US congress had approved the relocation of their embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem since 1995. The US president is only to consider the security situation in the process. If the situation is not conducive, the president signs to postpone implementation till another six month. Successive presidents had postponed it every six months since then. Trump feels it is conducive for him to move the embassy at this time, considering that the administrative, judiciary and legislative functions of Israel are headquartered in Jerusalem. Israel has withdrawn from many occupied land. These include the Sinai Peninsula, Golan Height and as recently as 2005, Gaza. Israel must exist side-by-side with the Arabs. No one is going for another. Israel as a sovereign nation determines where its capital should be. When the military moved the Nigeria's capital from Lagos to Abuja, all foreign embassies were relocated, while some consular services are left in Lagos. Why should Israel's case be different? 16 Likes |

porka: You still didn't get it do you, I careless if isreal decide to move their capital to Jupiter, it's non of my biz.. the issue on ground is that Jerusalem belongs to both Palestine and Isreal , it's either they divide Jerusalem into two, each country with their part or No country should occupy the ancient city. Isreal don't want to resolve the issue, they think using force will get them their wish, y do you think the whole world are against them? , injustice my friend, injustice. You say something about isreal letting go of some Palestine territory, if I may ask who own those territory they illegally occupied? Am not going back and forth with my comments, am trying to present fact for you to reason, if after every thing I said and you still think isreal are not wrong on this, then I really don't have anything to say. Here are some of my key point: * Who owns Jerusalem? * Was the land Specifically created for the Jews? * Didn't Jews migrated to the said Jerusalem? 6 Likes 3 Shares |

Efewestern: You and the so-called "whole world" are entitled to your delusion. It doesn't count for anything. If it solves ego issues, then good for you. Jerusalem remains the eternal and undivided capital of the Jewish people. Neither you nor the "whole world" can alter it. The earlier you accept reality, the better for your health situation.

Efewestern: What you should do is to get properly educated on the subject matter and quit being emotional. Your retorts ("defend evil" "God's people" "Arab niggas" ) may appeal to emotionally unstable minds, but they don't change the fact. Things are discussed based on their individual merit subject to available facts. Israel and the Palestinian Arabs must live side by side. Arabs must accept that Jewish people have the right to live in Israel, their homeland. Jordan, Syria and Egypt that suffered terrible defeat in their attempt to destroy Israel are wiser to negotiate the peaceful return of their territories captured during the ill-fated battles with Israel. The UN should face reality and stop deceiving the Palestinian Arabs. East Jerusalem will not be their capital. It is currently under the control of Israel. It does not make sense for a single CITY to serve as the capital of two separate/different countries. There is no country in the world that is under the UN dictate concerning their capital city. 6 Likes |

People are wise now.. and am happy for Nigeria and Other African Nations, we know what it means to be oppressed in your own land. All through our discussion you couldn't even provide any reasonable prove to show that isreal own the entire Jerusalem.. lol.. you actually have nothing to prove. lol Enjoy your night bro and happy Christmas in advance. . .

Efewestern: Are we in the same world? President Donald Trump just recognized the same Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and is moving the US embassy there. Isn't that what led to the whole discussion? You are confusing yourself. Who took whose "land forcefully"? You earlier claimed that Jews were defeated and fled only to come back and reclaim the land they fled from. What other proof do you seek than what you claimed in your own posts? Are you now recanting? Make up your mind. Or is that your own proof that the Arabs "own" the East Jerusalem? East Jerusalem was under the British Mandate left in 1947 which the Jews declared their nation afterwards. (Jordan temporarily seized it after the British left while Israel took it back in the 1967 war) African countries' UN votes or opinions count for nothing. The same UN voted for homosexuality which was completely ignored by many African countries. Or what is do you think the effect of the vote would be, other than for political mastubatory purposes? Many Arabs countries rely on Israel for many things, including security and agriculture. Nigeria itself relies on Israel in many ways. 6 Likes |

porka: Right from day one the U. s has always being in support of Isreal irrespective of who really owns the land isreal illegally took, U.s and some few country don't make up 4% of the world nations, every other Nation including Nigeria are for a two state solution for Jerusalem. The world don't revolve around the U. S. You are confusing yourself. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerusalem The Jews were defeated by many nations including Romans and Babylonians, So during those centuries other group occupied the land, this is the Genesis of the problem, Now isreal wants everything back, forgetting the fact that someone already occupied the territory for so so many years. What other proof do you seek than what you claimed in your own posts? I Just gave you a prove with a source, don't want to argue about who owns Jerusalem again.. the least you can do for me now is to read the history of the city and see how the present people got the land https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerusalem East Jerusalem was under the British Mandate left in 1947 which the Jews declared their nation afterwards. (Jordan temporarily seized it after the British left while Israel took it back in the 1967 war) Prior to1947 was isreal the inhabitants of East Jerusalem? African countries' UN votes or opinions count for nothing. Yea African countries don't matter, because you keep worshiping the Jews, lol.. We careless of what you think, 95% of black Nations are against the current oppression of The Palestine people, Hope you are aware of South Africa latest development? They just downgraded their embassy in isreal, just imagine you owing a house and nobody recognises you and your territory, it hurts men, y do you think the U. S were threatening African countries in a bid to have their support at UN??. keep deceiving yourself. [s] Many Arabs countries rely on Israel for many things, including security and agriculture. Nigeria itself relies on Israel in many ways. [/s] Nigeria don't not rely on isreal for anything, stop lying , We benefit nada from Isreal, I mean nothing, if not for our corrupt and visionless leaders do you think we would have being accepting some stupid aid from US? We benefit from South Korea, Japan, china etc . As for the Arab nonsense you just typed, the world benefits more from Arab , about 50% of the world petroleum products are located in Arab territories, some arab state are far developed than Isreal, can you compare isreal with Saudi Arabia? , or Kuwait?, they are years ahead of isreal .

127 countries including Nigeria voted rightly to reject Trumps unilateral decision to recognised Jerusalem as Israel's capital. Voting otherwise would have been against Nigeria's advocacy for a two state solution to the Isreal/Palestinian crisis. Trump can go and die with his fvcking aids. We are a sovereign nation and Trump cannot dictate to us what our foreign policy should be on any issue. Sovereign nation or a BEGGING NATION? OVER AND OUT! 2 Likes
