Mrnairalandd: I bet you are a Muslim. what the united states did is not injustice. pray tell, do you know the history of Jerusalem? How it was founded from tents thousands of years ago. For your information, in that way Niger river is connected to the name Nigeria and Nigeria's so also Jerusalem is connected to Jews. The Jews built that city thousands of years ago, its their home, the city of David since 4000 BCE. They chose and built the temple on the temple mount the Romans destroyed it. By the time it put up again the Islamic Ottoman Empire was world dominant. some one say Prophet Muhammed accend into heaven at the temple in Jerusalem. no on asks how legit such an event is or if it simply signifies unity of 2 warring religions,no. The ottoman empire razed what was left of temple in Jerusalem and massive shrines. if I come to your village and concert it to a chur and send u packing how will u like it? Those mosques in Jerusalem has stood for so long that everyone forgets its Jewish ansestral land. But the God himself warned to Jews not allow other tribes live in their land else they would become a thorn in their flesh. The Jews never listened 2 Likes |

Mrnairalandd:Igbo people don't want to be in your Nigeria. We are only here because of the guns countries like the USA and her allies have given you to subjugate us. When they take those guns and give them to us, we will revisit all your atrocities against us. It is a promise that will be fully fulfilled if tables were to turn against you guys.

Jbleenk: My brother, what that guy stated is an outstanding fact. If trump cut ties with Nigeria today, it will only mean positive for our dear country. How can you threaten a sovereign nation United nation unanimously agreed on a resolution and just only you want to change it The vote shows our support for human right How many countries will America cut ties with? Trump think they can stand without those countries And many more my brother. When Iran was sanctioned, it only show people of Iran their strength When North Korea was sanctioned, I don't think any Africa country can dear NK militarily even America can nit single handedly fight them 2 Likes |

[s] Emyogalanya:[/s] You only managed to prove you are a liar, majority of the people hailing trump and attacking Palestinians are ipob lackeys. Is it not funny you said we should support US against international Law because we benefit from then while at the same time support the same International law when ipob liars are involved, your duplicitous nature always betrays you. |

IkpuMmadu: JFK in his ich bin ein berliner's speech said " ..when one is in bondage, all are not free".The world is too interconnected and we musnt take the other look when the rights of others are trampled upon. we all share a collective destiny, a collective duty to make the world a better place and our actions must be anchored on that concrete fact. And to y'all citing scriptures and what u not. I still keep asking myself is it not God that created the Palestinians according to ur scripture? if the answer to that question is a yeah, then why giving special treatment to one at the expense of the other? And having done that, is it still right to call such a scriptural god a just God? |

Mrnairalandd: When people take reason for madness, the world sinks. We have 2 major religion in this part of the world, Christianity and Islam. I believe Jerusalem is the capital of isreal by biblical references. Just because I don't want my neighbor to think that I am against him or her some how.I stay neutral till the king returns. But if i were to judge by history Jerusalem is not Palestine at all. And the word Jerusalem is nt Arabic or Palestine. So what are they fighting over self ? Nigeria was no where wen battles were fought over Salem by kings and Muslims faithfuls. 3 Likes |

Malawian: As i want to ignore your rant, i felt it ll be a great disservice to people here if i just walk by without saying anything. Let me burst your bubbles, no matter how your future turn out to be, always remember that the people you wanna fight are not sleeping either. It’s certain that if that war is fought one million times, you ll always and continue to lose the war. War is not won alone by guns but smartness and high IQ which seems to have eluded you and your likes. Also, remember that whatever you foolishly do in this country, reaction ll be greater than what you ever anticipated. Peace. 1 Like |

SouthEastFacts: In case you don't know, in international politics there is a difference between "dealing with America" (a country that constantly and malevolently redefines the rule of law to their selfish purposes)... ... and dealing with "other countries" of the world who readily embrace law and other, even when propped into a seeming disadvantage position. That is what intentional politics is about: Different dishes for different dinners. By the way ask yourself, why is USA unhealthfully continues to remain in propaganda all across the world 1 Like |

Doyin2:This is a meaningless benefit. Almost every country is already committed to global peace and justice as if the term has any practical meaning. The palestinian issue is not crucial for the world or Nigeria in particular, it is an arab-israeli affair and Nigeria should have stayed out. But the Nigerian government think the feel-good effect which disappears as fast as it comes is sufficient reason to vote no. If you understand how the world economy works you will realise that 128 countries can never and will never sanction the US because aside from European powers who would never contemplate such move most of them are dependent on the US economy and they will be shooting themselves in the foot. Is it the Arabs whose major oil buyer is the USA? It was even with the US persuasion that many of them joined the US in the first place. Stop thinking like magicians, doors don't open unless you open them. Is this a joke, Nigeria have an unbalanced trade with the US and we mostly trade in items that are essential to our survival and cannot get anywhere else e.g military and IT equipment. Have you also forgotten, the 50,000 Nigerians who move to US every year and the billions of dollar they remit back home? For your information, most of our consumer goods are imported from Asia and not USA. Please go to any Nigerian market and try to count items that were "made in USA". No, interests are never mutual, someone who didn't do their assignment and act irrationally always loses more. If you think interests are mutual, please ask Cuba how they fared with the US sanction. 1 Like |

factwriter: And you what have you offered? Same garbage If our representative at the united nation is wise, he won't vote; not because of america threat but because of the effect it will initiate at home. It won't go down well with Christians who had read there bible thoroughly to accept Jerusalem as Palestine. Is like saying Damascus belong to Jordan. |

yazach:You don't seem to know the kind of precarious situation you have found yourselves in. All they have to do is make a decision in their boardroom to support Biafra actualization, and you guys go know how far. The oil you are making noise with, does not even belong to you but to the people they gave you guns to subjugate. In all, I am quite happy with the turn of events. Your sheikhs in Arabia can't bribe Trump with anything, unlike your pay for play Obama and Hilary. I leave you with a Bible verse "blessed is he who enlargeth gad's territory. Gad is posed there like a lion, and teareth the arm with the crown of the head". You don't seem to know that Gad is referring to Biafra/Igbos and we are one of the 10 Kings who will have their crown (Country) before the second coming of Christ. I expect you to dismiss all have written above as mere conjectures, but it's okay, it is God's word. It does not depend on you for fulfilment. 1 Like |

OceanmorganTrix:Ever since we've been standing on a neutral ground, which of our problems has US solved for us? In fact, China has been more supportive of our nationhood than US. SA, Ghana and most African countries voted against Trump's decision. Why should ours be different? Because it doesn't appeal to the sentiments of the Nigerian Christian populace? Is SA or Ghana a Muslim country? |
