What Africans never want to hear is that the solution always starts with Economics. Even crime is first and foremost an economic - not moral - issue.

40% youth unemployment isn't just an NBS statistic. It is a murderer.

An idle mind is the devil's workshop...
Nigerian men are not more or less violent than say, Swedish men. In fact historically, you could argue that the barbarity of the Vikings exceeds anything any West African men have ever carried out.

The difference is economics.

Swedish men have jobs. These ones don't.
Anyone who has studied Sociology knows that in 9 cases out of 10, it's when you have no realistic career path or hope of any kind of rewarding career path that you start seriously considering crime as a way of life.

Humans are not innately good or bad. We just respond to stimuli
And for the sake of the comprehension-challenged who will soon charge in here to blow their outrage wad, this thread is not in any way suggesting that Hinny's murderer should not receive the death penalty if possible.

It is saying that more monsters like him are inevitable.

The parallels between Serbian ethnoreligious chauvinism during the final years of Yugoslavia under Slobodan Milosevic, and Arewa ethnoreligious chauvinism in this Nigerian era of Muhammadu Buhari are almost a 100% exact fit.

They even did more. It all still ended in hot tears.
Strongman leader from majority ethnicity boasting about Yugoslavia's indivisibility. ✅
Economic collapse, pseudo Marxist govt policy and unbacked money printing.✅
Expansionism by majority group marked by religious and ethnic genocides in places like Srebrenica.✅
Active bullying of political representatives of minority/secessionist groups in Yugoslavia's parliament.✅
Extreme nepotism and treatment of the Yugoslavian state and economy as the ancestral patrimony of ethnic Serbs with zero respect for every other constituent group✅

It's finally time to reveal why Nigeria being placed on this list.

There is a 310-page report on genocide in Nigeria's Middle Belt/North Central presented to Mike Pence in 2020, which I've sat on for the best part of a year. Now I will tweet a thread of excerpts from this report
Every single name and personal photo you will see in the following tweets is that of a dead person.

Ordinary people: Farmers. Shopkeepers. Housewives. Traders. Taxi drivers. Students.

All traditionalists and Christians murdered in their homes, workplaces and churches.
First an overview of the terror incidents.

Nigerians being disingenuous 101

1. You write an article saying "2+2 is 4".

2. They "debunk" it by responding "How can a "journalist" claim that 3+3 is 5?! False allegation!"

They avoid engaging what you said an instead invent a strawman to knock down. Very interesting.
I have read no fewer than 9 attempted "responses" to my rigorously-researched and fact-checked stories about @DrIsaPantami, and every single one of them made no mention whatsoever of anything in the stories.

They just completely sidestepped them and went off on a tangent.
Completely ignored:
1. Audiovisuals and text translations of Sheikh Pantami saying things that objectively align him with terrorists.
2. Evidence that he studied at the Islamic University of Medina (a global terror recruitment hotspot) under ultra-conservative Salafist clerics

And if you know you came to drag me on the TL to impress whoever you wanted to impress, for the love of whatever you believe in, don't bother sending me a DM now.

You came to slam dunk publicly. If you have something to say now, say it publicly. I'm not reading your stupid DM.
Came and sewed 10-page thread on my head, reported my account all the way from Germany, come dey send DM now after I turned out to be right (as usual) and I called you out.

You better maintain the same energy!
Sewed thread on my head and used the thread to sell his market talmbout "Pantami is a Liberal Salafist like the character in my book."

Now that it turns out you're full of shit, you're in my DMs speaking English. I muted your notification forever and left the convo.
