Popular Nigerian social commentator, Reno Omokri, appears to have downplayed the seriousness of the current crisis between Russia and Ukraine.
According to Reno Omokri, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict should not yet be described as World War III. He then suggested that if all firstborn sons undergo a DNA test, there would be a real Third World War.
I just laugh at Nigerians that are calling this Russia-Ukraine conflict World War 3.
If you really want to see the real World War 3, let every firstborn child of all Nigerian marriages be DNA tested.
The result of the DNA tests will result in World War 3 that Nigerians are talking about.
But seriously, as Black Africans, let us learn to put things into proper perspective. Not into the CNN perspective. Don’t elevate a regional conflict into a global conflict. The Russia-Ukraine war is not a World War. The Ethiopia-Tigray war, which has killed 150,000 people, is more deserving of Africa’s focus!
