Stop Blaming the West—Start Asking the Right Questions
Thanks for stopping by CMTV.CA. It’s always easy to point fingers—at colonialism, at the white man, at the West. But at some point, we must turn the mirror on ourselves and ask the hard questions:
Why do we allow this cycle of violence?
Why do we tolerate dysfunction, corruption, and apathy?
Why are our nations labeled “shithole countries,” and why does that label sometimes feel justified?
Yes, it’s offensive when someone like Donald Trump makes such statements. But when we look at ourselves objectively, are we truly surprised?
Massacre in Nigeria: 40 Christians Killed—And the Silence is Deafening
Earlier this week, Nigerian President Bola Tinubu confirmed that at least 40 people were killed by suspected Muslim herders in a Christian farming community in North Central Nigeria. The attack happened in Zaki Akpuuna—a name that will fade, like so many before it, into the endless archive of bloodshed.
Tinubu “ordered an investigation.” Again.
But why? How many more investigations must happen before something changes? These attacks are no longer shocking—they’re routine. We’ve become numb to the violence. When Christians are killed in Nigeria, it barely makes headlines.
Let’s be real: No other country in the world kills Christians the way Nigeria does.
Not Pakistan, not Saudi Arabia, not even North Korea. Just Google it—you’ll find the statistics.
Survivor Speaks: “My Son Was Shot Trying to Escape”
One woman who survived the attack recounted that the gunmen spoke Fulani and ambushed the village without warning.
“They killed many people. My son was shot while trying to escape.”
Children. Women. The elderly.
People who had no chance of defending themselves. What kind of society allows this to go on unchecked?
If You Stay Silent, You’re Part of the Problem
Here’s the uncomfortable truth: Most people don’t speak up.
Why? Maybe they don’t care. Maybe they secretly agree.
But if you can’t denounce evil in your backyard, don’t be surprised when the world looks at you sideways.
It’s why immigration officers scrutinize Nigerian passports.
It’s why other African countries feel threatened by Nigeria’s massive population—over 226 million people, with 80 million crammed into Lagos alone.
Boldness is a gift—but what are you bold about?
Why aren’t Nigerians bold enough to stand up to extremist herders?
Nigeria: A Country Without a War, Yet Living in Chaos
At least Congo has the excuse of an ongoing war. Nigeria? No war, yet the level of chaos is almost identical.
We produce movies, we build churches, we throw massive parties—but we can’t stop the killing of innocent people.
Even Netflix saw potential in Nigeria’s movie industry. They gave millions. What happened?
Producers took the cash, spent 90% on cars and houses, and shot the movies with what was left.
That’s why so many of our films look like stage plays—because the budget was eaten before the camera even rolled.
Meningitis and Malaria: A Deadly Double Punch
As if the violence wasn’t enough, seasonal meningitis has now hit Northern Nigeria hard.
The North—ironically, the same region where Christian killings frequently originate—is now facing a deadly outbreak. Over 100 people have died from this disease, in a country already crushed by malaria.
Is this divine punishment? Some would say so. I don’t know.
But you can’t ignore the karmic undertones.
Ramadan Laws: Beating Women for Selling Food?
And while the North suffers from disease and death, women are being jailed for selling food during Ramadan.
Yes, you read that right. Instead of providing jobs, they’re beating and arresting poor women trying to feed their children.
How are we okay with this?
Why are we more offended by being called “shithole countries” than by the actions that justify it?
Final Thought: The Rest of the World Is Watching
You can’t keep blaming Britain.
You can’t keep blaming France.
You can’t keep blaming America.
Until we clean our own house, no one will respect us.
Until then, Donald Trump’s insult will continue to sting—because deep down, we know there’s truth to it.
If you felt triggered by this post, good. That means you’re still alive.
Now do something about it.
