🧵Let’s talk about why the 1914 Amalgamation of Nigeria was a grave British error.
It wasn’t just a forced union—it was a blueprint for dysfunction.
A look at other British “amalgamations” like India-Pakistan-Bangladesh and Malaysia-Singapore tells us everything we need to know. 👇🏽
2.
Britain had a habit of lumping together completely different peoples into single colonies, not based on cultural compatibility—but on administrative convenience.
Nigeria was no different:
North = Islamic, feudal, Hausa-Fulani
South = Christian, educated, Igbo/Yoruba
Two completely different worlds.
3.
Now look at India (pre-1947):
Hindu-majority India
Muslim-majority East and West Pakistan
Lumped into a single British India.
What followed?
Partition.
1 million+ dead.
15 million displaced.
Eventually, East Pakistan split to become Bangladesh in 1971.
4.
Imagine if India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh were still one country today under a single government.
Can’t? Exactly.
It would be ungovernable.
Religious, ethnic, and ideological differences would have paralyzed the system.
Now—look back at Nigeria.
5.
Nigeria’s amalgamation mirrors this:
Different religions
Different value systems
No shared national vision
Regional resentment
Instead of creating unity, the 1914 amalgamation planted the seeds of permanent mistrust and structural imbalance.
6.
Another example: Malaysia & Singapore.
In 1963, Britain helped merge:
Malay Peninsula
Chinese-majority Singapore
What happened?
By 1965, Singapore was kicked out.
Why?
Deep ethnic and political tensions.
Even two states couldn’t survive that union.
7.
Singapore’s exit became its salvation.
Today:
Prosperous
Globally respected
Politically stable
Meanwhile, Malaysia remains haunted by racial division.
Now ask yourself—what if Nigeria’s incompatible regions had gone their own way early?
8.
Instead, we’re stuck in a country:
Where elections are zero-sum games
Where one region’s progress feels like another’s loss
Where unity is constantly preached, but never practiced
All because of a British experiment that never made sense.
9.
The 1914 amalgamation wasn’t a marriage—it was a forced merger of strangers with clashing interests.
And like India-Pakistan-Bangladesh, like Malaysia-Singapore—it was doomed from the start.
But Nigeria still pretends it can work if we “just try harder.” 🤦🏽♂️
10.
Maybe it’s time to ask the hard question:
Should Nigeria be a single country—or a union of nations deciding their own fate?
History shows:
When unity is forced on incompatible regions, separation brings peace.
End.

Nigerian mothers mourning their dead. Where is the global church? @buildingzionorg is standing with them but we can’t do this alone.

Heartbroken again — Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo breaks down over four victims killed near his church, days after he was seen weeping at a mass grave for his congregants.
Do you see how Muslims are pushing their luck in Nigeria, when that place explodes in a brutal Civil War, no one should act surprised.

Pèp ayisyen,
Nou prèske fin deplwaye sòlda nou yo ak ekipman nou yo sou tè Ayiti. Sa a se pa yon operasyon kont pèp ayisyen an, ni yon envazyon peyi Ayiti. Nou pa yon gwo pisans. Nou pa gen okenn enterè ni pou nou vin domine pèp ayisyen an, ni pou nou mete men sou richès Ayiti.
Nou se yon peyi modès k ap devlope. Sèl sa nou vle, se pou kat teknisyen avyasyon nou yo tounen lakay yo. Epi n ap bay gang yo yon leson, gang sa yo k ap fè pèp ayisyen an soufri, ki touye moun pèp la renmen yo, k ap anpeche l viv yon lavi nòmal, lib, san laperèz.
Se prèske nou menm sèl k ap peye pou operasyon sa a. Menmsi nou resevwa yon ti èd lojistik nan men kèk lòt peyi, se ak pwòp ti kès nou n ap kouvri 90% nan depans yo.
Sa koute nou chè, men nou te aprann nan pwòp soufrans nou: jistis ak lapè pa gen pri. Nou te pase nan menm soufrans Ayiti ap travèse jodi a. Nou te viv yon beny san ki te pi terib toujou pase sa pèp ayisyen an ap sibi kounye a. Nou konnen sa sa vle di: viv nan laperèz, pa fè politisyen konfyans, pa kwè okenn moun ki pwomèt l ap ede w. Paske pèsonn pa t vin ede nou, e moun ki te vini yo pa t gen bon entansyon nan kè yo.
Men nou te rive chape anba sa. Apre 200 lane soufrans, finalman n ap viv nan lapè, e jodi a nou se peyi ki gen plis sekirite sou kontinan an.
Nou pa vin ann Ayiti pou nou touche lajan, paske pèsonn pa peye nou pou sa. Nou vin ann Ayiti pou nou goumen kont mechan yo.
Men sa m ap mande nou: fè nou konfyans, lapriyè sèl vrè Bondye a, epi mande L pou L geri Ayiti.
“Lè sa a si pèp ki pote non m lan lapriyè nan pye m, si yo soumèt devan mwen, si yo pran chache m ankò, si yo vire do bay vye peche yo t'ap fè yo, m'ap tande yo nan syèl kote m ye a, m'ap padonnen peche yo, m'ap fè peyi a kanpe ankò.”
2 Kwonik 7:14
Ede nou ede Ayiti.
Epi lè misyon nou an fini, n ap tounen lakay nou. Petèt jenerasyon Ayisyen k ap vini yo ap sonje nou kòm zanmi ki te vin ede yon lè.

Muchos mensajes, análisis y comentarios como este, asegurando que las pandillas de Haití no son como las de El Salvador; que son sanguinarias, que están fuertemente armadas, que nadie ha podido vencerlas, que todas las misiones han fracasado, que estamos cayendo en una trampa, que no sabemos a lo que nos enfrentamos, que será nuestra ruina, que vamos camino a nuestro Waterloo.
Pero cuando Dios nos conceda la victoria, los mismos que hoy dicen todo eso cambiarán su discurso. Dirán que siempre fue fácil, que cualquiera podía hacerlo, que las pandillas de Haití no eran tan peligrosas como se pensaba.
En fin, nunca los hemos escuchado y no vamos a empezar ahora.
Todos los que se han enlistado son creyentes y hemos encomendado esta misión a Dios, mientras que las pandillas de Haití son satánicas y es de conocimiento público que hacen sacrificios humanos.
Dios nos concederá la victoria. El Creador del Universo está con nosotros.
Deuteronomio 28:7
“Jehová derrotará a tus enemigos que se levantaren contra ti; por un camino saldrán contra ti, y por siete caminos huirán de delante de ti”.
¿BUKELE Y SU WATERLOO?
Con el anuncio del envío hacia Haiti, desde El Salvador, de un contingente de 3000 militares, cuya misión es encontrar a los 4 miembros de las fuerzas armadas de ese país, secuestrados el pasado domingo, cuando penetraron en territorio dominado por las pandillas y fueron atacados por una pandilla de irregulares armados, se avizoran en las próximas horas fuertes enfrentamientos armados.
A estas horas, y sabiendo cómo se resuelven las cosas en Haití, las probabilidades de que estos militares continúen vivos son mínimas, así que si no hay posibilidad de negociar nada, y por lo tanto lo que se plantea es un enfrentamiento armado entre tropas de El Salvador y las pandillas que son dueñas del territorio donde fueron atacados y secuestrados los militares centroamericanos.
Según lo publicado en la prensa internacional, los responsables son dos organizaciones criminales que dominan el área de “Croix des Bouquets”, una de ellas dirigida por Claude Celestin, quien es cabeza de la pandilla Chen Mechan (perros rabiosos), y Wilson Joseph (“Lammo San Jou) líder de la banda 400 Mawozo.
En el día de ayer, este último desafió públicamente al presidente Nayib Bukele en un vídeo publicado en las redes sociales, donde advirtió que no se irá de Haití, y mostró miles de municiones y pertrechos con arma de diversos calibres, que según el están esperando a los salvadoreños.
Tenemos entonces la bandeja servida para un enfrentamiento armado a solo 45 kms de la frontera de la República Dominicana y Haití, de un ejército de pandilleros armados sin nada que perder, frente a tropas regulares de El Salvador, que pelearán una guerra urbana en las calles de un país que no es el suyo y es absolutamente desconocido.
Ya en el pasado reciente, los Estados Unidos en 1994 mando 20,000 soldados e intentó organizar a Haití para que se volviera a la senda de lo que ellos llaman democracia, y luego en el 2004 invadieron de nuevo junto a Canada, lo que terminó en la creación de una fuerza multinacional, la Minustah, que terminó en el más absoluto fracaso, es decir, estamos metidos en un tema que no tiene solución.
Si hay alguien que tiene experiencia en combatir pandillas lo es Nayib Bukele, el presidente de el Salvador, su historia de combate a las “Maras” está a la vista de todos, solo que Haití no es el terreno amigo donde peleó esa guerra, un país de habla y cultura hispana donde jugaba de local, el país caribeño es un transplante de África en América, con una historia de violencia típica de las sociedades primitivas.
Cuando Napoleón envió a sus tropas a sofocar la revolución haitiana en 1802, pensó que miles de solados podrían devolver la colonia a sus dueños, pero solo un año después, Dessalines y la fiebre amarilla los obligó a rendirse, ¿será Haití el Waterloo de Bukele?.
El futuro dirá.

A MAN BATTLING CANCER, SITTING IN A GRAVE WITH THE BODIES OF HIS MURDERED FLOCK — HOW MUCH MORE PAIN CAN ONE HEART BEAR? 💔😭
Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo, a man already battling liver cancer, sat on Saturday inside a freshly dug mass grave, surrounded by the lifeless bodies of four people a father and his three sons. They were not strangers to him. They were members of his congregation. They were part of his spiritual family. They were souls he had prayed for, loved, and shepherded.
Now, they were gone.
Imagine the pain of a father watching another father and his three sons being laid to rest, knowing that their lives were cut short while they slept. Imagine sitting beside their lifeless bodies, wondering how many more innocent people must die before the world finally listens.
Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo was not crying for himself. He was crying for the living. He was crying for the members of his congregation who are still alive but must sleep every night with the fear that they could be the next victims. He was mourning the dead while worrying about those who might never live to see another morning.
And what makes this even more heartbreaking is that he is carrying this burden while fighting his own battle with cancer.
Who comforts the man who spends his days comforting the brokenhearted? Who wipes away the tears of a pastor who has watched his own people buried one after another? Who stands beside a shepherd whose flock is being slaughtered?
Plateau State is bleeding. Christian communities are grieving. Families are being shattered, children are losing their fathers, and mothers are burying their children. Behind every grave is a story, behind every lifeless body is a family, and behind every name is a future that has been stolen.
Those responsible for these attacks must be held accountable. The victims deserve justice, the survivors deserve protection, and the families left behind deserve more than words of sympathy.
When innocent people are killed in their sleep, we must not allow their suffering to disappear beneath the noise of politics, indifference, or convenient explanations.
Please, do not look away.
Do not scroll past their pain as though these lives meant nothing. Do not wait until another family is wiped out before you raise your voice.
Today, it is a father and his three sons. Tomorrow, another family may be mourning their loved ones.
How many more graves must be dug? How many more children must become orphans? How many more pastors must weep over the bodies of their own congregation before the world pays attention?
We are not asking for revenge. We are asking for justice. We are asking for protection. We are asking for the right to live without the constant fear of being killed in our own homes.
May God comfort every grieving family in Plateau State, strengthen Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo in his battle with cancer, and grant protection to those who are still living in fear.
PLEASE, LET THE WORLD HEAR THEIR CRY. DO NOT LOOK AWAY. 💔😭

Right now, a genocide against Christians, perpetrated by Muslims, is happening in Nigeria.
More than 3,000 members of Reverend Ezekiel Dachomo’s church have been killed. And he has already conducted over 200 mass burials for his congregation.
This year alone, more Christians have been killed in Nigeria than Gazans in 3 years of war. But no one seems to care, and the media remains silent.

Tonight, as I was leaving a restaurant on 14th Street in New York around 10 p.m., this Muslim woman took a prayer rug and a niqab out of the trunk of her car, put the niqab on, laid the prayer rug down, and started praying on the street.
I grew up as a Muslim in the Islamic world, and let me tell you: this is absolutely part of an organized effort to flood the public square in the West with Islamic symbolism.
First of all, there is no Islamic prayer at 10 p.m. Even if she missed the Isha prayer, which takes place earlier in the evening, she has until dawn to make it up. So why choose to pray on the street at 10 p.m.?
Second, a Muslim woman who does not wear a niqab or hijab in her daily life would never normally have a niqab sitting in the trunk of her car.
She is clearly not strict enough to wear it every day, so why would she suddenly be so strict about missing a prayer that she carries a niqab in her trunk specifically for this purpose?
Third, in almost any Islamic country, you would never see a woman praying on the street at 10 p.m. This would be completely unacceptable.
If she were genuinely worried about praying, she could simply wait until she got home, especially since a missed Isha prayer can be made up before dawn.
I can tell you with full confidence that these scenes we keep seeing of Muslims praying in the streets of the West are intentional.
They serve to assert dominance, normalize Islam in the public square, seize ground, and demand exceptional treatment that immediately turns into claimed rights.
Bad-faith acts like this are signals of the same project that turned many cities in Europe into shitholes.
Exceptional threats demand exceptional measures.
Islam must be banned in the West because it is not a religion; it is a hostile political ideology.
Until that happens, the West will continue losing ground to this ideology every single day.

BREAKING: Nigeria: A Christian mother, Liatu Samuel Dawa, has been sentenced to 14 years in prison for the “crime” of evangelism.
Liatu shared her faith with a woman in Borno State who later converted to Christianity.
For that, Liatu is now behind bars and her family in hiding after Muslims threatened their lives.
The judge, A.B. Kumdila, imposed the harsh sentence.
This ruling is a gross miscarriage of justice.
The disgraceful action must be overturned and Liatu immediately returned safely to her family.
Free Liatu Dawa.

The 3 wise men from the East are set to head to Rome: Chimdiebube Onwubiko, Egejurum Onyedikachi, and Don Anele Munachimso.
Their assignment is simple: bring back the gold.
They will be competing with 154 other countries in Rome, Italy, this week.
Since Nigeria couldn’t qualify for the World Cup, this will be our World Cup.

.@RepRileyMoore is correct.
American liberty was built on Christian principles. Sharia rejects both. They cannot coexist.
BAN SHARIA = SAVE AMERICA! 🇺🇸
Sharia law is cultural and religious insurgency deployed with the goal of destroying the most critical pillar that western civilization rests on - Christianity.
Our culture, laws, virtues, and history are built upon Christianity, Roman law, and Greek philosophy.
Sharia law must never take root in our great Republic!

Honored to speak with my friend @michaeljknowles about the latest on the ongoing genocide against Christians in Nigeria.
