Someone's a bit ignorant, aren't they? This app is full of people from all sorts of places. It's not a tiny bubble.

If you're so bothered, you can focus on Nigeria and keep your mind shut from anything else. Cheers!

You should have an internationalist mindset.

Nuclear bombs and radiation emanating from a world war will recognise no borders, so what is happening there concerns you.

When the US emphasises its use of Air strikes, just know that there are Kill Squads on ground who have already taken out the main targets and the airstrikes are to cover tracks

All those middle east pro gaza and terrorist ers should understand that U.S is the world police and 21st century Empire, the same way ottoman empire ruled europe and most of the world. After 9/11, the u.s primary target has always been to eliminate terrorist, especially in the middle east. And the only way they can achieve this/maintaining their world power is by having bases close to the middle east. Hurt one u.s soldier and collect wotowoto.

lol, sure.

I dont think Nigerians have any business taking sides in a conflict where they cannot and do not benefit from unless they find a way to collectively benefit from it. Countries lobby a lot of money and resources to other countries for , but not to Nigerians and other africans because stupidly we always think something involves us, pick a side, and become ionate about somebody else's fight.

The US is not fighting 'terrorists' either. Jews (Who are polish/lithuanian/german/ukrainian) surveyed Igboland and Uganda as places to build a state of Israel. That where all the dumb 'igbos are jews' propaganda came from. Had they choose Igboland we would be hearing about how Nigerians (even non-Igbo) are terrorists for fighting or opposing the white settlers. But luckily none of this happened.


Stop watching CNN international. It's trash
