Can anybody shed a light on what is going on here I haven’t seen much information on it.
Mass protests about police brutality in Nigeria, a government building has been burnt down.
Very strange how under reported this is. And also strange how when America had their protests about brutality there was also mass protests here in the UK, but no protests in support of Nigeria.

Seems state actors opened fire on demonstrators and killed a fair few. We are also getting 24/7 updates on the US election, and never hear a peep about Nigerian. Cultural ties with the US are as strong as any. It is being woefully under reported, you are right. |

I don't remember if it was Nigeria ... or Namibia ... anyway some country beginning with a N, which was reported to have patrols out during the Corona lockdown and shot people if they coughed or sneezed.
However, these days you can't trust the news, someone told me.

It's been bubbling up for a couple of weeks now. There are a couple of Nigerian News channels on Sky if you are interested, channel 518 & 519. I am a little sad and trawl all the international news channels daily to try and get a world perspective. |

I’d imagine because it’s not a race issue but no less shocking. |

Because the UK is absolutely obsessed with America from top to bottom👀 |

Western media has understandably concentrated on ISIS and Al Queida....what Boko Haram have been doing in Nigeria, across Northern.Africa and elsewhere has been barbaric. Extreme Islamic ideology is a threat to ordinary people and peace. Christians have been particular targets. pure savagery, including the rape of girls. Around 400 students are missing after gunmen attacked a school in Nigeria with AK-47 assault rifles. The attack on the Government Science Secondary School happened at about 9.40pm on Friday in Kankara, in the country's northwestern Katsina state, police have confirmed. This latest attack on a school is most serious incident since April 2014, when members of the jihadist group Boko Haram kidnapped 276 girls from their school dormitory in Chibok. About 100 of the girls are still missing. news.sky.com/story/around-400-students-missing-after-gunmen-attack-nigerian-school-12159920For several days, the killers lived peaceably among their future victims, sharing their dormitories and eating their food. Then, on Saturday afternoon, they took out their guns, rounded up the people like cattle and slaughtered them one by one. This was the nightmare recounted by survivors of a massacre that unfolded in the rice fields of northeastern Nigeria on Saturday. The bloodbath set a new standard of brutality in Boko Haram's 11-year-old jihadist insurgency. www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/afp/article-9010973/Survivors-Nigeria-massacre-recount-tale-horror.html |

No one cares because you can't pin this one on white people. Surely BLM should be up in arms over this?

That’s an interesting statement. Christians are no doubt the most persecuted religion and the latest stats I can find are from 2016 where 90k people with christian beliefs were slain globally. Interestingly about a third were at the hands of Islamic terrorism. But those with christian beliefs are not without their own barbarism. Many of the mass murders by so called white supremacists were conducted in the name of Christianity. Plus within the many forms of Christianity there has been and still is violence, murder and persecution. So, yes, Islamic terrorism is the flavour of the last 50 years but they are not the only religion whose fanatics use barbaric atrocities in order to "spread their word". I prefer to believe in the scientific reasons for our existence and not mythical ramblings from various books written centuries after the events they report. |

I knew a guy who worked in Nigeria in the oil industry and he told me what a dangerous place it was.
Everywhere he went he was accompanied by a rifle carrying bodyguard.
One day the guard climbed into the car with his rifle and it went off blowing a hole in the roof!
He quite rightly said F#£k me be careful. The guard replied “ Don’t worry boss, I’ve only got one bullet !!”

The guard replied “ Don’t worry boss, I’ve only got one bullet !!” I went to Pitakwa and Lagos when I worked for Michelin, we had bodyguards from the hotel to the plantation and sales offices and when I got talking to one of them in reception one morning I asked how common it was for Westerners to be kidnapped. "Very common" was his answer. "And is it local militia doing the kidnapping?" I asked. "No usually it's the bodyguards" was his response before he started wetting himself laughing "Don't worry though I'm one of the good guys"  |
