U.N. lends megaphone to Nigerian genocide

U.N. lends megaphone to Nigerian genocide

Nigerian genocide holds Christians in bondage

ANALYSIS/OPINION:

The United Nations will live in infamy for lending its megaphone on Tuesday, September 19, 2017, to Nigeria’s elected military dictator Muhammadu Buhari.

The Hausa-Fulani Muslim strongman is currently orchestrating genocide as defined by the Genocide Convention against Nigeria’s 50 million Igbo people because of their ethnicity and unwavering devotion to Christianity. Buhari’s genocide marks the culmination of a long train of Biafran subjugation by radical Hausa-Fulani Islamic terrorists. The dictator’s power is anchored to an illegitimate constitution decreed by a military dictator in 1999 to hold the Christian Biafran people in bondage to Hausa-Fulani Muslims. Nigeria’s constitution has never been approved by Nigerians.

Last June, Buhari tacitly endorsed a Hausa-Fulani threat to expel by force and violence and to plunder 11 million Igbos in twelve northern Nigerian states that have adopted Sharia as their legal codes if they did not abandon their Igbo homes and businesses by October 1, 2017. During the past few years in northern Nigeria, Hausa-Fulani terrorists have destroyed thousands of churches and religious schools and displaced millions of Christian Biafrans.

Quite an interesting article by Fein, I haven't read anyone else saying what he is. Bruce Fein apparently worked for the Reagan administration, so his views do carry some weight with me.

A situation to be aware of concerning Nigeria, I never knew for example, this about Biafra, scene of a bloody conflict in the 1960s.

I had not heard about this.

The prior President, Goodluck Johnathan, was Christian, but lost the election in 2015, and peacefully transferred power to the incoming muslim general - who is now committing these atrocities against Christians.

Christians are the most persecuted religion on earth. They are persecuted throughout the Middle East and also in China, North Korea, Nigeria, and Burma. The failure of the Church to recognize, much less respond to these atrocities is shameful.

In 1969, the church DID respond to the war in Biafra.

The author denies the Armenian Genocide, so on the surface, I certainly disagree with that view.

Socialists and Muslim Strongmen once in power do not give up power, but impose their will to mold a country into a Socialist Utopia (Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea), or a Sharia compliant state (Libya, Iran).

They're always for “one election” for all time. Get elected through thuggery, and then establish you lineage as dictators for life. After all once controlled the people will vote unanimously to continue their bondage, whether they did so or not. It's not who votes, how they vote, but who counts the votes.

Just for the record, Buhari’s running mate and vice-president is a Christian.

For the record too, I think he’s been an off-again, on-again sort of president, I once read up on it, I think he came to power in the ‘80s, then, got tossed out...in the meantime, I don’t know what he did, if he became president again or what....

Boko Haram has been broken down somewhat; but that doesn’t clear up the confusion about who was behind them. In that Northern part of the country, that might as well be called ethnic cleansing as well.

Some forecasts have them possibly having a larger population than the US by 2100. As most people know, Africa is predicted to grow like crazy this century and even with the hardship and adversity, I think that mainly applies to countries with a lot of Christianity.
