some people think 70 000 ppl have been killed in u.s mass shootings since 2019 like it's holocaust. pls it's not

Bandying fake information around is their modus operandi. That is how they would have been claiming the 70,000 figure as gospel truth if no one challenged them. Lying e-rats.

USA lied in their propaganda that Christians were being targeted by Muslims in Nigeria but just today here is an attack against Christians in USA and it is not the first.

Mass shootings in USA has become a daily occurrence yet same USA claims Africa is not safe.

Records show that USA has the highest number of mass killings but it is Nigeria or Africa that is not safe.

Okay o

It is high time Africa countries began issuing travel warnings to her citizens against going to USA

Nobody knows where the next mass shooting is going to take place in USA. Today it happened in a church. In August it happened in a Walmart store in El Paso where 22 people were shot dead but it is Africa that is not safe.

They should continue with their propaganda targeted at demarketing Africa and let gullible Africans keep on buying into their lies.


Guy you are not making sense. Yes, there is an attack in the US but will you compare that to Boko Haram? People like you if giving the opportunity can also fly to the US to shoot people just to discredit them.

Yes, senseless shooting takes place globally but that of Africa is more deadly or how will you described horrendous activities by the herdsmen and Boko Haram? Despite all this, US is still very much a safe place to dwell than Nigeria

A gunman opened fire in a church in Texas, killing one parishioner and wounding another before being shot dead by members of the congregation.

The gunman stood up from a pew at West Freeway Church of Christ in White Settlement, a suburb of Fort Worth, pulled out a shotgun, a begun shooting.

Police said they were still trying to determine the attacker's motives.

White Settlement Police Chief JP Bevering praised "the heroic actions" of those who confronted the attacker.

The shooting took place at about 11:50 (17:50 GMT), during the morning service. The service was being live-streamed on social media.

Video footage showed the gunman stand up from a pew and speak to a man nearby, who gestured at another parishioner. The gunman then fired at the man he gestured toward.

The gunman fired again, at the man he had spoken to, before a member of the congregation returned fire with a handgun, immediately felling the attacker. Several other parishioners also produced handguns and trained them on the attacker. It was not clear from the video footage whether any of the other armed parishioners fired shots.

The shooting happened during the morning service at West Freeway Church of Christ
US sees highest number of mass killings on record
Members of the congregation in the nearly full church ducked down behind pews as screaming filled the room.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott called the shooting "an evil act of violence".

"Places of worship are meant to be sacred, and I am grateful for the church members who acted quickly to take down the shooter and help prevent further loss of life," he said in a statement.

Witness Isabel Arreola told local broadcaster CBS DFW: "It was the most scariest thing. You feel like your life is flashing before you. I was so worried about my little one."

Texas has seen a number of deadly shootings this year. In August, 22 people died and 24 were wounded at a Walmart store in El Paso. The same month a gunman killed seven and wounded 20 at Odessa-Midland.

In 2017, 26 people were killed when a gunman opened fire at a Baptist church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, during a Sunday service.

2 seconds everywhere burst!!! Never to be caught unfresh... Guy men dey pack heat come church on a low. If na for naija the idiot for don waste all the worshippers finish. I need go find my representative for NASS, we all have the right to protect ourselves as at when due.

I think what should be done is allow every church the right to secretly arm at least 5 worshippers for every mass/service! Also, adult church members should be given target practice training! This way, any muderous muthafucker will know he’s on a suicidal mission if he wants to go for a shootout in a church!

Can you mention just one thing the USA is doing to stop the shootings? The people in power are Republicans and they are 100% behind gun ownership and have refused to push for Gun control. So name just one thing that they are doing to bring it under control. I am waiting.

You are clearly intentionally blind or you lack enough sense to read and understand. If you read that post well, you would see that worshippers are now allowed to bring guns into churches for self defense.

Do you know that this particular shooting only lasted 6 seconds? And do you know why, because one of the worshippers shot the shooter down. I just watched this particular news on CNN few minutes ago. Stop acting stupid like your Brain is useless and dead.

What exactly is your motive for this post?
I thought you did it cos your felt sorry for the people affected but no, you did it because you want others to hate the USA government cos of your perceived propaganda in Nigeria. Instead of finding ways to make our country good and safe, you are busy spewing your own propaganda. If not for patriotism and love for my fatherland Nigeria, USA despite all the mass murdering is 100000000millionx better than Nigeria.
Is bokoharam not killing people in Nigeria?
Are Fulani herdsmen not killing people in Nigeria?
Are there not pockets of heavy criminalities in Nigeria?
Solve your problems and leave USA.
So because we've not surmounted USA deaths via terrorism and proliferation of arms, the menace should continue and that makes Nigeria better?
OP nooooo na, stop playing with people's life, let's accept that Nigeria is a failing and decayed state.

You don’t know that guy called Timesup. He comes with different monickers attacking the US after he was allegedly deported

In Nigeria of today maybe it is a necessity.

But there are many western countries that don't promote use of guns.

We can also say they are not safe based on the facts we see especially the current mass shooting epidermic ongoing in USA which can happen anywhere and anytime without prior warning
Irrespective of the shooting,their economy still good pass ua naija own.

Na America with their " I too know". When they legalize arms for civilians what do u expect.

When u become an Adult, u can apply for Gun in the name of self defence and the government will gracefully give it to you with some documented rounds of bullets.

Stop typing rubbish.

There are many safe western countries.

There are others that face challenges similar to ours as relates to violent crime.

We shouldn't be demonized whilst those others are overlooked.

Violence should be condemned wherever it occurs. People and countries must come together to prevent further happenings. But trying to demonize the weaker countries should be condemned.

Take pride in your person.
