Why Are Nigerians Being So Selfish,Greedy And Pessimistic About #prayforparis. by Nobody: 8:25pm On Nov 14, 2015
Now there is a latest catch that Fans Blast Phyno For Asking Them To Pray For
Paris.


Following the terrorist attack in Paris yesterday,
people all over the world have been calling for
prayers for Paris.
Nigerian rapper,phyno, also joined the bandwagon but instead of being given props for the post, he was heavily tongue-lashed for not beginning his charity from his motherland that has been experiencing similar attacks from Boko Haram for some time now.

* Now that not where its over why because when nigerian had the issue about the missing chibok girls we were all sad actually but happy in one way,Why?. Simply because the first lady of USA joined the flow by the famous so called "#Bringbackourgirls. Not actually only the first lady but also a lot of top class famous people from all over the world joining the #bringbackourgirls campaign and nigerians only smiled and where happy about that and now our fellow nation PARIS needs us to support them by our prayers,they didn't ask for our money or soldiers but just prayers and remember that FRANCE IS our fellow black nation... Is that so difficult for nigerians to do yet they keep on blasting "Phyno" about his post. Isn't that selfishness. With nigerians behavior am sorry to say this,we can't progress further.
* I remember a friend of mine,on seeing nigeria appear on ajazira,CNN and many more popular news channels about the chibok girls he made a statement saying that "if this is the only way nigeria can appear on the famous ajazira and CNN then am happy let it continue at least we done dey get mouth small small." Damn I was so angry about it,I could have dealt with him that day.
* Now my question is: Why do nigerians like self-acclaimed praises especially only to ourselves alone?

* And please am begging you all with the Almighty's name. Let's not forget to pray for Paris because when nigeria was in and still in pain about the missing chibok girls,the world remembered us including France so let remember them also.

#PrayForParis.

Actually we ought to pray for Paris because if we don't, just because they didn't do thesame for us then what makes us different from them. We in turn are guilty of the crime we accuse them of.
Now OP don't you ever bring up that chibok girls issue because its not thesame thing, chibok girls is a conspiracy theory that was propagated by the British so nobody gives a hoot if the US first lady or anybody at that showed support. We fell for it so don't remind us how blind and naïve we were for doing so

God bless you my brother. It pains my heart when i read some Nigerians nonchalant attitude towards the paris attack. We have our own insecurities yes but that should never stop us frm showing love to those who face same challenge. We know how it feels to lose a loved one,many have died frm Bomb blasts in diff parts of the country,citizens slain and gun down,we knw the effects of war,we experience and are stil experiencing it. So its rather unfortunate when some Nigerians display an inhuman attitude towards this unfortunate event. It happened to them,it can happen to you or your loved ones maybe thats when u knw hw it feels.

Yes! Its only.
How many times have those in France posted a pray for Nigeria hashtag?
Are we the only ones who know how to pray for others?
Every country should face their troubles, we have enough on our plate without adding theirs.

more of this would happen in France if they don't close down that useless satirical magazine called charlie hebdo, imagine the Russian plane crash suspected to be an act of terrorism, being mocked by that magazine, a crash where innocent people died.

let them mock this attack too, if terrorist attack the whole west I don't pity them. cause they created terrorism. even the so called boko haram. Nigerians are just being silly, too much notice me ..angry

I wish to state here that the following is simply my view and I am open to corrections.
I changed my profile picture on Facebook to reflect the flag of France because I was given the option to do so by the owner.
It has been years since France experienced such I believe.
Now, back to Nigeria,
Bokoharam did not start when President Jonathan, a Southerner, came into power, NO. But their attacks escalated when he won the election in 2011.
My dear President Buhari said something about making Nigeria Ungovernable (God forgive him) and the rest is history.
Fast forward to 2015, President Buhari, a northerner is here, I could not remember the last time I heard about Biafra.
Suddenly Biafra is building gradually. When blood shed begins,
WILL THE OWNER OF FACEBOOK DEEM IT REASONABLE TO TELL THE WHOLE WORLD TO SYMPATHIZE WITH US?
GOD BLESS you as you make common

Got this from a friends post on Facebook.

Facebook recommended that I change my profile to support france, which I would, but do they have one for Beirut Lebanon where bomb killed people 24 hours ago, what about The constant attack in north east Nigeria by Boko Haram, also over 200 Russians died of bomb blast on a plane in Sinai, I refuse to acknowledge that some human beings are more special than the rest of us. Life of a simple farmer in Nigeria,African Americans in South Carolina, a baker in Beirut, a russian tourist and French concert goers should and must be valued the same and equal to life of a child in West bank. The world has a hypocritical double standard, please do not play to it. What happened in paris is despicable, but so is what happened in Beirut barely 24 hours ago. I suggested europeans change their profile to french flag, Africans change their flag to green and white (nigerian flag) and middle east change their to colors of Lebanon. Guess where these terrorists get their weapons from? During flight you are told that incase of emergency put on your gas mask first, then help those around you. Africa needs that gas mask before I look yonder to put it on someone else. I can be sympathetic to the victims without glorifying a flag that has been used to terrorize African countries and Haiti for centuries. If anything, change your profile to the image of the globe for a better world. Peace to the whole world.

goodwords:

It has been years since France experienced such I believe.
on December 20, 2014, in the largest suburb of the city of Tours, in Central France, when an attacker of Burundian origin, shouted “Allahu Akbar” [God is great] before attacking officers at a police station with a knife. The assailant, identified as Bertrand Nzohabonayo, injured three policemen before officers took him down.

December 21, 2014, a man in the French city of Dijon run over 11 pedestrians in five areas of the city. The driver – who also shouted “Allahu Akbar” – was arrested.

on January 7, 2015, after two gunmen, identified as Cherif and Said Kouachi, attacked the headquarters of the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo, over the publication's depiction of the Prophet Mohammed. Twelve people, including two police officers, were killed in the onslaught, while eleven others were injured.

Hours after the Charlie Hebdo attack, a third assailant, Amedy Coulibaly, shot a 32-year-old man who was out for a run in a park near Coulibaly’s home. On January 8, the same attacker shot and killed a municipal police officer in a suburb of Paris. A street sweeper was also wounded in that attack. French President declares state of emergency, closes borders.

On June 26, 2015 a French Muslim of North African descent, Yassine Salhi, decapitated his employer before driving his van into gas cylinders at a gas factory near Lyon. This caused an explosion and injured two other people. Prior to ramming his van in an effort to destroy the factory, Salhi placed his boss's decapitated head on a fence along with two Jihadist black flags. The suspect was arrested after being taken down by the firefighters that rushed to the scene.

22 August 2015, A Thalys train traveling from Amsterdam to Paris via Brussels was attacked by an assailant who opened fire in a carriage before being subdued by off duty US servicemen aboard the train. Four people were injured but luckily none fatally. According to early briefings, the gunman, 26, was known to French intelligence services and was Moroccan or of Moroccan origin.

On the 13 Nov., 2015. Paris massacre: World mourns 120+ killed in series of terrorist attacks.


France has a lot of french born Arabs (most of them Muslims), and the current wave of Syrian refugee into the EU is not helping matters too.

The Syrian operative claimed more than 4,000 covert ISIS gunmen had been smuggled into western nations – hidden amongst innocent refugees

They are reaping what they have been sowing; Al Qaeda, ISIS, Taliban and the lot were all created by western powers; just take look at the mess and continuing tragedy they've caused in Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Syria and counting - Karma is a B!tch.

Maybe because France is believed to be solidly behind Boko Haram because they want to destabilize Nigeria.

While we sympathize with the victims, Nigeria has had a fair share of global manipulation that has led to far more senseless deaths in NIGERIA. Who ever prayed with us or for us?
