UK Group Raises Alarm Over "Genocide On Christians In Nigeria" by meavox: 7:37am On Jun 19, 2020
UNITED KINGDOM RAISES THE ALARM OVER GENOCIDE ON CHRISTIANS IN NIGERIA
BY SAHARAREPORTERS, NEW YORK, JUNE 18, 2020
________________________________________

The United Kingdom All-Party Parliamentary Group for International Freedom of Religion or Belief, a group of over 100 British parliamentarians from different political parties and from both Houses of Parliament, has condemned the genocide of Christians in Nigeria.

The group also raised concerns on the escalating inter-communal violence in Nigeria characterised by the farmer-herder conflict, a clash that has claimed the lives of thousands of people and displaced hundreds of thousands more.

The APPG noted that the unchecked killings and displacements have caused untold human and economic devastation and heightened existing ethno-religious tensions. It stated that the response of the Nigerian Government to conflict involving farmers and herders had been inadequate or ineffective and that this had allowed violence to emerge and escalate.

Lamenting the killings of Christians by Boko Haram and herdsmen, Jim Shannon, MP Chair, All Party-Parliamentary Group for International Freedom of Religion or Belief, described the act as archaic, saying “This widespread and tremendous difficulty is a somewhat novel experience for many of us in the UK”.

He added, “Shockingly for a Commonwealth country, Nigeria ranks 12th on Open Doors World Watch List 2020 of countries in which Christians are most persecuted. By comparison, Syria ranks 11th and Saudi Arabia ranks 13th, with Iraq 15th and Egypt 16th.

“As Nigerian Government ministers have publicly and rightly admitted, Christians are being ruthlessly targeted, specifically because of their faith.

"Undoubtedly though, peaceable Muslims, through collateral violence can also become victims of this cruel Islamist religious ideology.
“It is a destructive and divisive ideology which readily mutates into crimes against humanity and can pave the way for genocide. We must not hesitate in saying so.”

The APPG blamed Nigerian politicians for further fueling the attacks on Christian saying political actors are supporting the killings to further their own interests.

APPG posited that for peace to reign in Nigeria, there must be justice adding that to reduce conflict, it is vital to both improve security responses and ensure that perpetrators of violence are held accountable.

The group urged the Nigerian Government to investigate, arrest and prosecute those suspected of committing violence as part of this conflict and also investigate and prosecute members of security forces suspected of perpetrating human rights abuses or failing to protect communities.

The group also called for the establishment of state police to support national police and that traditional and community leaders, who encourage members of their communities to perpetrate violence are thoroughly, independently and impartially investigated.

Nigeria too raises alarm over genocide against Nigerians and Blacks in general by UK security agents.

However, if Buhari does not take decisive action on these killings, it will consume him .

All talk, talk, talk as if Buhari ear infection has gone. Buhari doesn't hear. He only recognises action that affects him directly.
Bring up action or send a second version of the Abacha lady to him. Case solved.

Terrorists killing Christians in Nigeria since 2009. Yet, no major breakthrough in reducing their menace till now. Even the fulani herdsmen/farmer clashes have an undertone of religious extremism. Not shocking though. This is what a country gets when it's paired with extremists who have been brainwashed to think each "infidel" killed is a service to God which comes with due blessings and rewards. Heck, the man in Aso-rock is apparently their grand-patron. Main reason why you see him dishing out incentives like pardon, amnesty and scholarship abroad (for terrorists grin) . Now if that isn't a way to motivate his sons, I wonder what that is. The subject of the massive corruption going on in the Nigerian Army is another topic entirely grin Above all, Nigeria is sitting on a long thing...

Truth is, if you die a Nigerian, you deserve to be spared from the punishment of hell coz you already lived in one on earth. How do you explain going to the same hell with a British man who has never shouted "Up Nepa" all his life? grin

The Govt should do something about this incessant killings of innocent people.

Meanwhile do you know that Ibeju-Iekki will in 5 years time become a hot commercial zone and the adorable bride of investors all over the world. That is because it is the luckiest local government in Nigeria to have gigantic global Landmarks in its soil. Talk about a Local Government in Nigeria with a Refinery, Free Trade Zone, Dangote private Jetty, Pan Atlantic University, Tourist Attraction Centers and Chains of residential and commercial estates and only Ibeju-Lekki will be on the que.

In order to enlighten potential investors about the OppprtOpportu in this axis of Lagos and why they should invest here, we are taking them to the site to see for themselves. The cost of this inspection is borne by the Company all you need to do is to make yourself available to our offices and with an Air conditioned buses we will drive round Ibeju-Lekki and tour some of our properties.

Remember don't say that things are hard or you don't have money because some people earning lesser than you are proud Land Owens. It is a matter of mindset not cash at hand because we have flexible payment system that can enable you pay gradually in a long while.

Those that kill Nigerians these days know no religion as they are not targeting churches and other places of worship.

Maybe we have some kind of ethnic cleansing (suspected) where terrorists and powerful people from one group make life impossible for another group by kill unarmed men, women and children.

God save us and bless Nigerian security services.

Nigerians from all over the world must ensure that the fulani terrorist, Buhari is dragged to the Hague as soon as he lives office for crimes against humanity.
He and his band of terrorist cabal must pay for every single person slaughtered by fulani terrorist.
ONE NIGERIA DOES NOT EXIST!

Imagine a country
Looters in government have their way
Armed robbers have their way
Herdsmen have their way in murdering innocent villagers
Boko Haram has their way
SARS has their way in killing citizens
Cultists have their way in counting scores.

Long live Donald John Trump, he painted us for what we really are. A shithole country.
