THE UNITED NATIONS AND THE FORGOTTEN HISTORY OF ISRAEL’S LAND

Voice of the people -

 

When the United Nations discusses the future of Israel, one truth is almost always ignored, Israel’s history did not begin in 1948. Long before the UN existed, before modern political borders were drawn, the land now called Israel and the disputed territories were the biblical homeland of the Jewish people.


From the covenant with Abraham, through the reigns of David and Solomon, to the return from Babylonian exile, Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Hebron, and other cities stood as the heartbeat of the nation of Israel. The Bible records this history, and archaeological evidence confirms it. Even the Qur’an acknowledges that God gave the Holy Land to the Children of Israel (Surah Al-Ma’idah 5:21). This is not a myth; it is a historical and spiritual reality.


Yet, in today’s diplomatic arena, this foundational truth is brushed aside. The United Nations, bound by modern political agreements rather than historical or religious title, frames its judgments as though Israel’s existence began after the Second World War. The 1947 Partition Plan, rejected by the Arab world at the time, is still used as the moral reference point for negotiations. The pre-1967 lines — which were never permanent borders — are treated as sacred, while the actual sacred history of the land is treated as irrelevant.


This is where the bias becomes visible. Israel is asked to accept a territorial arrangement drawn after its rebirth in 1948, ignoring thousands of years of connection to the land. The expectation is that Israel must give up strategic and biblical areas — Judea, Samaria, and East Jerusalem — in exchange for promises of peace that history shows are often broken.


Meanwhile, the UN has passed more resolutions condemning Israel than against many nations committing far greater human rights abuses. Bloc voting, political alliances, and economic interests drive these outcomes, not an honest evaluation of history or justice. This is why so many see the UN’s stance as not merely biased but deeply unjust.


If the international community were truly committed to fairness, it would acknowledge that Israel’s claim to its land is not a modern invention but an ancient, documented reality. Justice demands that history be remembered, not rewritten to fit the politics of the present.


As the voice of the people, I must say: No nation should be forced to surrender what was theirs long before the institutions judging them were even born.

TINIBU WHY SO SOON 😭😭😭😭😭

Voice of the people -

In just two years, the current administration led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has pushed Nigeria’s public debt to an alarming *₦149.39 trillion* (about *97.24 billion*). Even more concerning, the government is still seeking additional loans — including a recent request for *1.75 billion from the World Bank*. This raises serious questions:   *How can a resource-rich nation like Nigeria be drowning in debt so quickly?*   We have abundant oil, gas, solid minerals, fertile land, and a vibrant population — yet, rather than managing and maximizing these resources, we are depending on foreign loans to run basic government operations. While governments do borrow to fund infrastructure or emergencies, the *pace and volume of borrowing* under this administration is troubling. *Two years in office*, and the numbers already surpass what many past governments accumulated in longer terms. What’s even worse is the lack of transparency.   Where is all this money going?...

The Endless Cycle of Political Recycling in Nigeria: A Wake-Up Call

Voice of the people -

In a passionate address recently shared by Barr. Ugo Ugwunnadi, he expressed deep frustration at the way Nigeria's political class continues to recycle themselves in power while ordinary citizens applaud them blindly. He highlighted how some individuals have occupied multiple key positions—commissioner, House of Assembly member, House of Representatives member, Secretary to the State Government, governor—without giving room for fresh leadership. One striking example he gave was that of a former chairman of Igbo Etiti Local Government, who was under 17 when his father was governor, yet later rose to become chairman. Meanwhile, older and loyal party followers of his father remained sidelined. According to Barr. Ugwunnadi, “God forbid that my children will serve the children of those I serve.” He also recalled a moment in 2015 when Senator Ike Ekweremadu allegedly boasted at Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium that he had been in power since 1999. Figures such as Orji Uzor Kalu also fall into this...

Tinubu’s Trip to Brazil: Diplomacy or Organized Looting?

Voice of the people -

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s trip to Brazil — presented as a diplomatic mission to strengthen economic ties — has drawn serious concern among Nigerians. While the presidency claims the trip is meant to attract investment and build international relationships, *as citizens of this country, we see it as another wasteful, self-serving outing disconnected from the real struggles at home*. Nigeria is facing one of its deepest crises in decades. Inflation is at an all-time high. Food prices are unbearable. Fuel scarcity and electricity failure remain constant. Millions are unemployed, and insecurity continues to threaten lives daily. Yet, in the middle of all this, the president and his team continue to embark on foreign trips that cost millions in public funds — with little or no tangible result. These trips are often wrapped in flowery language: "economic cooperation," "bilateral partnership," "investment promotion." But for how long will Nigerians be fed wit...
