I am totally against the killings going on across Nigeria from different armed groups in different regions and Benue in particular, I see politics in everything happening, hopefully this dark chapter will end soon

But I don't like it when America plays religious card to fool gullible christians, go to zamfara, borno, Kebbi, yobe, sokoto and see the mayhem being unleashed on the villagers from their own brothers everyday and it doesn't bother USA

Go to Anambra, imo, abia and see the havoc local armed groups are causing there

Go to Oyo, Ogun, Osun and see ritualists on the rampage and killing spree

Go to rivers, delta, bayelsa etc the home of militants and kidnappers

Let's be honest with ourselves, I don't think there's any persecution of Christians in Nigeria, people from different religions are dying everyday, all I see is bad and wicked leaders who don't care about their own people since their families don't live here in Nigeria

America is a useless country right now and they should mind their business, no one cares about their nonsense sanctions, they are known for ing terrorist groups across the world for as long as it serves their selfish interest, infact Nigeria should place sanctions on American government for aiding and abetting the genocide in Gaza which has killed over 45,000 Palestinians and for ing domestic terrorist groups against minorities across USA

The same spineless congress that cannot stand up to the scallywag in the Oval Office.

Call me whatever you like, I am a moderate & enlightened Christian.

I am a Christian, but the US doesn't care about Christians. The same country that is promoting the Devil's end-time agenda more than any other country in the world and forcing Africa and other nations to embrace their homosexual and gay agenda is now talking as if they care about Christians. Is it not the same Trump who called Nigeria a "shithole" country? The killing of Christians in Nigeria is at an all-time low compared to previous regimes or tenures, yet they didn’t do anything about it.

If they truly value human lives, they should not be selective based on religion, country of origin, or skin color. All lives are important, irrespective of religion, country of origin, or skin color. You should not condone the killing of innocent people in Gaza and other countries while claiming to hate the killing of Christians in Nigeria. What about the innocent people of other religions in Nigeria who are dying due to the weapons they are sending to Boko Haram and other groups?

Only foolish people would fail to see that this has to do with Nigeria ing BRICS as a partner and expanding their cooperation with China. Sanctions brought out the best in China. It's time for sanctions to bring out the best in Nigeria and other African countries.

The bandits, Boko Haram killing people in North, do they target people by their faith?

Those who are into ritualists in South West, do they also segregate people by their faith?

Oh, UGM operated in South East for over 2 years, even for the fact that South East claimed to be majorly Christians, do the UGM targeted people by their denomination ( Catholic, Anglican)?

Now explain to us logically how Christians are being persecuted in Nigeria

You know better than US Intelligence agency?

What do you know about happenings apart from what you read in the news?

So, they are imposing sanctions without evidence?

Clowns everywhere.

It is wrong to accuse Elrufai of sponsoring the killing of Christians, there is no fact anywhere to this.

The fact is, the Crisis between the different religious groups exists long before Elrufai. He tried to solve it by initially trying to pay off the Fulanis for their financial losses , but this didn't work, and it more or less backfired against him.

His utterance and public image was not helpful too. His approach was more about forcing his ideas on people, instead of listening and coming up with a plan.

His muslim/Muslim ticket for his second term, in a state that has always done a muslim/christian ticket was like a slap on.the Christians in Kaduna.

His image is bad, but saying he sponsored killings is taking it too far.

It is also a fact that more Muslims have died from the insurgency in Nothern Nigeria than Christians, so it is not entirely objective to see it as a war against Christians
Your seemingly balanced expression is noted but did you see what his son (Bashir) tweeted a few days ago?

You're not moderate , you're just trying to be politically correct. When people are killed anyhow , who has been coming to their aid. So if you cannot speak up, let others speak up for them. They have families too. How will you feel if you go back to your village only to find the place deserted and scores killed and abducted. The real problems with us as a people is greed, selfishness and wickedness.

Once we are alright , we care less of others either they are dead or alive. A boy whose father is a politician and ex governor just spew wickedness from his mouth from Kaduna but you people didn't see anything bad in it .

Bad news about ethnic cleansing and mass murder keep oozing out from Benue, southern Kaduna and other places . but we face the other way. Its not fair at all

Go to Benue and see for yourselves, more than 500,000 Internally displaced persons who can't even access their homes, what is their crime? The fulani militias come from neighbouring Nasarawa and Taraba states where they have several camps , launch attacks and go back, what has the Muslim dominated Nasarawa and Taraba states done to prevent such attacks on Benue people ?

Have you ever heard the Sultan of sokoto condem all these attrocities committed by his kinsmen against the Christian communities in Benue?
On 25 December 2024, about 50 people were killed by these funani terrorists at Anwase in a single day at Anwase, Turan, Kwande Local Government of Benue state, as we speak several communities in Turan are inaccessible, same thing is happening across several local governments in Benue state. The federal government doesn't cover most of these murders in the media, the issue is who are the sponsors of these fulani terrorists? Why can't these demons be arrested and prosecuted?

The Fulani jihadists are fighting a Jihad, this is the same strategy Uthman Dan fodio used to capture the Hausa's, sadly they never succedded in islamizing Benue, neither will they succeed now!

The Nigerian government has never been sincere and committed to arresting and prosecuting the perpetrators and fulani sponsors of the genocide in Benue , Jos and Southern Kaduna! This shouldn't be happening in the 21st century

FACT 1: More Muslims are killed in the North than Christians
FACT 2: Sanctions will affect the people more than it would affect the incompetent government
FACT 3: If you like put a Christian as president, the killings will never stop because it is not religious but one of poverty and greed!

This one never reach to go front page? Some.people are even asking how Christians are being persecuted in Nigeria as if they live in Mars. Something that the blind even hears the threats thereof. El rufai's son even wrote a threat recently, and this goes to tell you what has been planned and carried out behind the veil

That person didn't hear over 60 Christians were kidnapped yesterday or so?

That person didn't hear a reverend from was murdered few weeks ago?

That person has never heard of southern kaduna?

That person thinks fulani herdsmen are a tool for what?
Obama and Biden had used them to ruthlessly attempt to quench Christianity in Nigeria, but the enablers didn't know Obama was using them as a multiple tool - to also destabilize Nigeria and it's economy- the likes of buhari, el rufai and shetima were perfect executors for them.

Something that foreigners have come to with and now are voicing out because all the voices that have been screaming it Nigeria were being silenced and the govt has been pretentiously asking this same deceitful question "how has the killings been about Christians?".

Some Nigerians are always wont to say "why punish me fot committing a crime I am caught in, why have you not also caught the other criminals?" This is one of the dumbest arguments people who ed a secondary school put up.


Thanks for your intelligent comment the writer above with 100 fools who clicked likes to his unintelligent and dumb comment ,in this country who wants to be told that Christians are in Great danger well planned evil arrangement since 2015 till this present istration how in life apart from 1993 when it was Muslim Muslim ticket presidency but this one was forcedt on the country when everything concerning security is in shambles the first Muslim president and Muslim vice president why people are dying everyday in middle belt States and you're asking us how are Christians being killed how many times have we heard that a Muslim Imam, malam or mullers are kidnapped and killed by the Christian group ? .Anything US government can do to stop this nonsense in this country called Nigeria is highly welcomed never mind it will affect both innocent and poo r citizens of the country but let it be, this government is a government of propaganda with paid media and online agents who always defend them ,you wrote correctly and intelligently my dear keep it up no matter how Cobra might crock we know the sound of a cock. US president Head by Donald Trump should do anything possible to save the Christians in Nigeria and Middle East, and other places in the world,.If it I left for the Pope, GO s, Christian Associations, nothing would be done they're after their monetary gains.No religion has Monopoly of violence

You're not any Christian.
You're a shameless Islamist and er of jihadists, with desperation to distort the truth and deceive unsuspecting readers.
Can you tell us any single Muslim that has been arrested and persecuted with all the religiously motivated massacres happening in the north and beyond, by the herdsmen and bandits?

Your rantings don't matter; Trump will heavily sanction the Islamic run Nigeria.

You hit my nerves when you asked a very foolish question and it irked me. You asked if the boko haram and bandits killing people in the north are targeting people by their faith. The answer is an emphatic YES!.. Na north boi I be and I want you to know that there is a low-key massacre of Christians in the north that you dont get to read on the news headline. What is the aim of boko haram in the first place? Well, if you know the answer, then I think you know how these things work.


Look, you guys need to slow down with your lies. A wace jaha kake a arewa? Kai dan wani gari ne

I have my reservations about Muslim northerners but let's tell ourselves the truth: Muslims are the biggest victims of both Boko Haram and bandits in Nigeria. Bandits almost exclusively target them in Kebbi, Zamfara, and Katsina. Even in Kaduna, you guys deliberately overlook the killing of Muslims in Birnin Gwari, Zaria Low Cost, Hay in Danbushiya, etc and focus only on Southern Kaduna. This is plain dishonesty and a desperate attempt to create a narrative.

AntlisIaam:


So you don't know how Christians were persecuted in Nigeria?

How many Muslims were killed in Nigeria for blasphemy against Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit and Christianity? How many Muslims were killed for carrying jihad in front of Mosque, how many Muslims in Nigeria were killed for burning down Holy Bible, how many Muslims were killed for mocking Christinity in Nigeria?

If any Christian try this shit against your religion, your messenger and allah, did you know the end result?

Ask him how many mosques has been bombed by Christian militants trying enforce Christian laws on others.

Maybe he was not yet born when Moslems killed Christians and burnt churches because Reinhard Bonke was to hold a crusade in Kano..

Ask him Moslems killed Christians and burnt churches because Nigerian was to host miss worl pageant, and how did it concern Christians.

Let them. tongue to deny..
After all lying is allowed if done to protect and promote Islam.
