By declaring IPOB a terror group Nigeria has completed the last stage of genocide preparation before extermination begins.

6. PREPARATION: Victims are identified and separated out because of their ethnic or religious identity. Death lists are drawn up. Members of victim groups are forced to wear identifying symbols. Their property is expropriated. They are often segregated into ghettoes, deported into concentration camps, or confined to a famine-struck region and starved. At this stage, a Genocide Emergency must be declared. If the political will of the great powers, regional alliances, or the U.N. Security Council can be mobilized, armed international intervention should be prepared, or heavy assistance provided to the victim group to prepare for its self-defense. Otherwise, at least humanitarian assistance should be organized by the U.N. and private relief groups for the inevitable tide of refugees to come.

Buhari mocks Western powers amidst Nuclear war tension. If you destroy yourself with Nuclear weapons, we will welcome some of that will survive in Africa

'General' Muhammadu Buhari's silliness is increasing by the day. He is proving to be overtaken Idi Amin in inaness and ineptitude. Standing the UN General Assembly, he would tell western nuclear powers: "We will preserve Africa in case the nuclear-armed nations of the world decide to destroy themselves in their so-called mutual assured destruction. Should that happen, be assured that there will be a place in Africa for those of you who will be lucky enough to survive your self-inflicted annihilation.
