Just when the US and UK embassies took the initiative to reach out to man, that's when Nigerian Government remembered to cash in on it.
And guess who they sent to do the work? The VP. Where the heck is the president? What really does he do?
Such a shame

He will be sick in the stomach to commend the man.

He's an islamic extremist. A bokoharam mediator.

It is very unfortunate that we are sharing the same country with these Jihadists.

Even the president couldn't hide his fanatical side, he abandoned the country to attend some islamic conference even when he could just send another to represent him.

These killers are Muslims and they are the only problem of Nigeria.

Well, I commend the imam for his humane gesture. He needs to be encouraged.
You are a certified fuul

Osinbajo receives Imam who hid 200 villagers in mosque




An 83-year-old Imam, Abdullahi Abubakar, who hid 200 villagers during attacks on Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau Stamp te was on Thursday praised for his courageous act.

Abubakar got the commendation from Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The VP called him a hero and an example of one who could put their own life at risk to save others.

Recall that on June 23, 2018, bandits attacked communities in Barkin Ladi.

Over 200 of them were said to have found refuge in a mosque in Yelwan Gindi Akwati village, Gashish District, where Abubakar is the Chief Imam.

He had insisted the villagers were his “guests” and prevented the bandits from killing them.

The cleric visited the Villa on Thursday in company with several community leaders and diplomats from the US, UK and the European Union.

The VP said, “I commend you for your wonderful act. Imam Abubakar has demonstrated one of the most courageous acts any man can possibly do by risking his life for those who are not people of his own tribe.”

A statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the President, Mr Laolu Akande, quoted Osinbajo as saying that Nigeria would be a lot better if people would truly love one another and not on the basis of tribe, religion or ethnicity.

“When people have been wronged, it is always easier for people to accept that revenge or vengeance is the right approach. But as you know, vengeance breeds bitterness and hatred and doesn’t solve the problems created, but causes more deaths and harm.”


The Imam, in his remarks, said he was not looking for publicity when he rescued the villagers, but felt that God only used him to save their lives.

The cleric, who spoke through an interpreter, added, “I pleaded with the attackers not to harm my guests. By God’s grace, no one was hurt. Such an incident (the attack) is rare in my community, but I hope such does not happen again.”

Those on the visit with Abubakar were the US Ambassador to Nigeria, Stuart Symington; Deputy Chief of Mission, US Embassy in Nigeria, David Young; an embassy official, Kathleen Fitzgibbon; and the German Ambassador to Nigeria, Bernhard Schlagheck.

sad May God continue to bless the imam for saving innocent lives despite seperate beliefs. We Christians should learn from this imam and be tolerant to people of other faiths especially Muslims. How many pastors will hide non Christians in their churches?. Let's put humanity first before religion. Let's live together in peace and unity

Sir, I beg to strongly disagree with you on this your summation. Christians are much more tolerant than muslims. And I trust we will find so many Christians not even pastors who would do just like the imam did if such situation present itself. I guess i'ni all we should love ourselves and stop all these bloodletting that benefits nobody.

Stop this silly sentimentalisation.

The reasons why you do not hear about Pastors hiding Muslims in their mosques is very, very simple. Historically, Christian youths are hardly the instigators of these violence. Or have you heard of when, after a Sunday's service, Christian youths go out to chop the heads of Muslims, screaming, "Jesus is Lord" while doing so?

Of course not.

And when they've had the chance of hiding Muslims from being killed by reactionary violence, Pastors have done so. Many, many, many times. I am sure residents in Jos, Kaduna, etc, can affirm this. That they do not publicise it is because they are not supposed to publicise it, according to the instruction from the Bible.

So stop the patronising sentimentalisation.

Yeah. Very courageous and godly man. I attend THE SUN AWARDS in February he was awarded and it really touched me. To be a good person should not be about religion but just knowing and doing what's right.

God bless you sir for your good deed.

Ops, you for no abuse him now. We can all be civil with ourselves without resorting to abuse. Just like the imam did let us be tolerant of each other.

Destiny can never be changed just delayed, it has been written that dis man would be known globally, but eventually came to past wen seems like all hope is lost, at 83, he now travelled abroad, meet with Vice president. Wen God speaks. Lest i forget, Jesus is coming back, prophet Muhammad (SAW) is gone 4 good, i can deduce that the former is a living God, and the latter is dead, i will serve a living God.
U were making sense until ur last sentence. I am also a Christian but do u really think other religion won't make heaven? U mean everyone in Thailand, China, Korean Saudi Arabia, Malaysia and other parts of the world who are Muslim, Buddhist will all go to hell? Just serve God and follow ur faith, do no one harm and promote love and peace. Don't be a fanatic

Is terrorism and killing supposed to be a norm in this country that has gotten to the level of govt commending good samaritans while none of the terrorist still date have been caught or jailed..

The wonderful Imam did a very noble act, what has the govt done on it's own part?
