Fair enough but don't tell feign as if you are on the ground with a 1st hand POV.
Why do people keep chastising the likes of cnn and other western media for not covering this or showing lack of concern?
The nigerian authorities have clearly made it blatant that they don't care about the lives of their own people.
Goodluck Jonathan attended the wedding of his daughter this weekend and he hasn't even addressed this atrocity. If the president himself doesn't give a fukk why should CNN or any outsider?
CNN has an agenda, they don't care about those who die. This is clear that their approach on the issue is 1-D. Demonize Islam and Muslims when CNN doesn't know the demographics of Nigeria, nor the political division.
It's not so much being happy to sit back...there's a "MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS" mentality among many Africans on an individual level but also on a state level. Nobody is happy that people are getting slaughtered but many also don't want to stick our nose in business that doesn't concern us and get caught with a stray. There is a long back story to what's happening in Northern Nigeria....one that I don't care to get into.
Where in this thread was such said? So far you have made quite a few assumptions, I'd recommend you stop doing so.

No, he was making a unitary point about the southeast and the legacy of Biafra, using what you've singled out as broad examples.
In the post I called out you hugely overstated the role a lack of empathy across ethnic lines plays in the establishment and perpetuity of the elite.
You spoke of a lack of empathy across ethnic lines as if it was causal and not symptomatic of power plays by the elite. The ruling elite are the source of strife, not a lack of empathy.
Then you are hopelessly naive. You really think those that seek to manipulate ethnic divisions operate in uniformity? Do you think those that rule are beholden to those same divisions?

You can refer back to Greenstrings post.
Assumptions were still made on your part.
He was clearly making a broader point about the lack of empathy in Nigeria. He thinks Nigeria lacks empathy because it does not know its history i.e. Biafran War
We are talking about humans, not pets
I do know a vast many Nigerians are Christian, support Israel and love GEJ. The population reflects the politics. Stop trying to absolve the citizens

That isn't why that poster said the post was stupid, as He dropped the issue when confronted.
Our sovereignty is African, but even that's not necessary. It's up to us to connect as blacks and say enough is enough, we're going to be a united world power.
You're right, there are too many ideological differences in black Americans. Perhaps Boko is on to something
.I'll start another thread...

...Africans sat back and minded their business while a million Rwandans got shot, burned, and hacked to death in just 3 months...even Hitler wasn't that efficient 
...I guess if it ain't them it's not a big deal right? 
...it's that kind of thinking that has set Africa back 500 years behind the white man...c00ns like you have done more damage to Africa than slavery

@Poitier don't realize that most of the youth and ppl are struggling in Nigeria. It's a rich or poor country. Not much in-between. This idea of the South having the wealth is nonsense. The North as always controlled the oil but they don't share with their ppl. They eat the money. The South usually get the contracts to actually do to work and they made some money from doing that but the Western world don't want a South President or leader. It goes v. their system of White supremacy mantra. The problem in Nigeria is white supremacy. The second problem is fukkery in the mind and these damn societies. It's not much different than here except the US got a law that's elite. Nigeria, not so much.
So what am I to make of the densely concentrated wealth in Lagos and plans like Eko Atlantic?
Where are all these rich Nigerians in France and Britain renting million dollar apartments from?
