US House Of Representatives Cited Nigeria As The Most Dangerous Place to Live by ololadeajayi(f): 4:21pm On Feb 12, 2017
The United States of America has condemned the attacks on Nigeria Christians.

The US House of Representatives said that Nigeria has been cited as the most dangerous place for Christians to live in the world.

The congress, also said that the impunity for people responsible for killing Christians in Nigeria is in proliferation.

In an invitation letter to former president Goodluck Jonathan to sub-committee on Africa, Global Health, Human Rights and International Organization, the chairman Christopher Smith said the killing of Christians “seems to be widespread”.

Thisday reports that Smith said the sub-committee has investigated many crisis faced by Nigeria.

He said himself and one of his staff, Greg Simpkins, have made several visits to Nigeria and have spoken to many religious leader – Christians and Muslims – on the various crisis in the country.

Smith said: “My staff director, Greg Simpkins and I have made several visits to Nigeria, speaking with Christians and Muslim religious leaders across the country and visiting fire-bombed churches, such as in Jos. Unfortunately, Nigeria has been cited as the most dangerous place for Christians in the world and impunity for those responsible for the killing of Christians seem to be widespread.”

He urged former president Jonathan to fulfill the mandate of his foundation – The Goodluck Jonathan Foundation – by promoting democracy, peace and transformational change in Nigeria.

“I invite you to come to the United States next week to share your views on this matter, including the alleged Islamisation of government under the current administration and the actions your foundation is prepared to take in pursuit of religious freedom," Smith said.

“Your timely concession after your electoral loss in 2015, demonstrates a commitment to democracy and the stability of your nation, which was acknowledged by current President Muhammadu Buhari," he said.

Former president Jonathan addressed the sub-committee on Wednesday, February 1.

Among issues discussed with the committee are the implementation of the 2014 National conference, the continuous violence and killing of Christians in Southern Kaduna among many others.

Why won't it be dangerous? They are busy blaming GEJ for massive looting in his government. Nigeria has never been so insecure since the days of Abacha.

Stay which strong?

The US have had their eyes in the Bight of Biafra (now Bight of Guinea) for the last 20yrs to set up their AFRICOM Base and to tap into the massive oil reserves offshore.

Boko Haram, Fulani menace, Buhari, APC are all catalyst to ensure Nigeria breaks up with the SS/SE going their separate way from where the US will setup their military Base similar to South Korea and Japan.

In 15yrs you won't recognise the area known as SS/SE after we pull out and leave you in your useless Lugard experiment

Nobody needs their help


But the north should be now coming to terms with the common phrase about America and the UK being treacherous as friends and impotent as enemies.

All these Buhari nonsense as President, Islamofascist APC Rubbish, Boko Haram, Fulani herdsmen are all wedges the US has driven into the heart of Nigeria to divide.

The north is being set up and stupidily they thought they were the darling of the US.

Let me run you a list of American friends:

Saddam; set up to fight Iran and when he lost to Iran, the US getting wary of all the toys they gave him allowed him to invade Kuwait from there they dismantled him and Iraq.

Qaddafi, just when he let his guard down and thought he was OK with the west after nearly 40yrs of Isolation they took him and his country to the shreds.

South and Central America is full of past right wing US backed dictators who eventually the US finally desposed off.

How about Mubarak of Egypt? Same thing.

Erdogan learnt the hard way when he barely survived a US backed Coup!

Charles Taylor a CIA backed ex convict cum war Lord who helped the US scar Liberia for life.

I can go on but I know you get the drift.

Nah so!

When the APC was using their Oval office pass to shine they didn't know that America only befriends those who can do their bidding to divide your country.

Now all of a sudden, Buhari and the APC are looking like Sadam Hussein and the Baath Party.

The north and SW inadvertently voted for Nigeria's dissolution by voting this islamofascists into power.

The IPOB protesters shooting, Shia massacre and their quest to start a war of attrition in the Niger Delta over Oil is well documented.

They thought America wasn't keeping tabs and sooner than you can say yugoslavia the US will turn the tables on this regime and call for referendum.

I honestly believe there are moles in the Nigerian security agency operating on their own accord to push the CIA mission to divide Nigeria and they were comfortable doing shadow operations without Aso Rock direct orders but with the confidence that they know Buhari being a sectional bigot will not disprove!.

Buhari is the perfect Manchurian Kandidate (MK-Ultra). A puppet drone who the US know will act as a catalyst to Nigeria's dissolution without taking orders or rendering briefings to Langley because they (CIA) know him too well to know his every next move.

Buhari's dossier has amassed enough info over the years in the CIA files of would-be puppets of destruction and that's why they backed his gerriatic illiterate sectional bigoted ass.

Buhari, The Perfect Manchurian Kandidate (MK-Ultra)

If you let a bull into a china shop you are expecting the bull to wreck all the china.

This is why the West chose Buhari as their anointed candidate not to rule Nigeria but to oversee Nigeria's dissolution.

The perfect Manchurian Kandidate is one who you know will do what you expect from him not because of the brainwashing but the fact that you understand his personae and character enough to ensure that he will do what you expect of him. This is the simple summary of the character and divisive nature of Muhammadu Buhari. The West are no strangers to Buhari's sectionalism and bigotry and over the years since Buhari was kicked out of Dodan Barracks, Buhari has had time to become more radicalized in both his parochial sectionalism and bigotry to the point that he floated a regional northern party on his own - Congress for Progressive Change. So the excuse that the west may have made a mistake in supporting Buhari is totally out of the question as they knew very well before hand what a candidate like Muhamdu Buhari represented before throwing their weight behind him.

When Buhari made the quote; "I belong to nobody but belong to everybody" he was in effect telling us that he is nothing but a puppet at the hands of many a puppeteers.

Buhari's many puppeteers are;

1. Hardline Northern supremacists
usually sharia advocates. These set of scammers are working in tandem with the Saudi Wahabbi group are just out to make a buck both from Saudi Arabia and to garner influence from within the Nigerian govt. This set of religious bigots where highly influential in redirecting Nigeria's foreign policy towards Saudi Arabia and pitching us against Israel and Iran. They also played a major role in the Zaria massacre of shiites and are the hawks advocating and pushing for war in the Niger Delta (in the guise of fighting Militants) and SE (in the guise of curbing Biafran secessionists).

2. Hardline Northern Military officers from the Abacha era. These set of retired and serving Military officers are using Military comradeship in swaying Buhari. They are out to make a buck like the sharia advocates above. They have no ideological input into Buhari's administration but are using their army links to back Buhari in whatever foolish decision he makes all because they want him to award juicy contracts and oil lifting rights to them. They are the force behind the NDA.

3. Northern Sycophants . These set of political jobbers have been with Buhari since he decided back in 2003 to contest for the highest office. They are drawn mainly from the Abacha era and have been in the cold dark corridors of political limbo since Abacha's demise. These set of political jobbers dominate Buhari's inner cabinet and are by far the greatest puppeteers of the Buhari puppet as they have 24/7 access to him night and day.

4. Northern Business Oligarchs
. Drawn from the Abacha and Yaradua era these set of northerners are selling the idea that before the north can surpass the south, the south must be slowed down. All Buhari's disastrous policies have been felt first and only in the south. The several companies folding up and mass sacking of staff is occurring mainly in the south, Why? Because there are no tangible private firms located in the north. These set of greedy oligarchs are using Buhari's distorted financial and economic policies to mop up cheapened shares from the stock market. The brain dead forex policy is just an avenue at round-tripping that has made many an ab0ki extremely rich overnight.

Considering the skewed ethnic and regional makeup of Buhari's inner cabinet you will all agree that most of those who surround Buhari are actually northerners pushing a northern agenda and they are achieving their goals because Buhari as president remains a willing tool at their hands because of his highly sectional approach and gross ignorance.

For the US Congress to issue such statements means they are perfecting plans to turn Nigeria into Lebanon which is divided along sectarian lines.

Bye bye Northern Nigeria
