dear fubara
i understand your disgust with the situation in the north. i too find what's happening abhorrent
however, i would not use the language of genocide, or hint around it, to communicate my disgust with those committing atrocities.
in rwanda, the language about sending the tutsis back home via the nyabarongo river, i.e., killing them and throwing them in the river, was used both metaphorically and literally.

Date: Thu, May 1, 2014 at 3:42 PMSomeone in Northern Nigeria must be drinking some really bad Ogogoro. Get over the drunken stupor, folks, before you are pushed into the Benue River, and left there to figure out how to swim. President Shagari, Vice President Atiku and the current political and community leaders in northern Nigeria, must call these drunken folks out, immediately, before they do real damage to themselves. Note folks: No damage will be done to the Niger Delta. Absolutely NONE.I thank you.Fubara David-West.On Thursday, May 1, 2014 9:16 AM, Nigerian FM <madamorientalone@yahoo.com> wrote:__._,_.___
