The federal Government on Monday condemned the call by five United States Republican senators asking for the redesignation of Nigeria as a country of particular concern because of alleged persecution of christians.

The senators who made the call in a letter to the US secretary of state, Antony Blinken, had also alleged violation of freedom of Nigeria christians right to practice their religion.

Responding to the allegation in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in London, the Minister of information and culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, on Monday said the call was based on false premise and misunderstanding of what was going on in the country.

NAN reports the Minister is in London for engagements with international media as well as some relevant Non-Governmental -Organisations.

The Minister said,"We want to say once again that Nigeria does not have a policy that denies people the freedom to practice their religion.

"The country also does not have a policy of violation of freedom of religion and it is not true that Nigeria persecutes anybody on account of his or her faith".

He added, "Nobody in Nigeria is being persecuted, but we have issues of criminality going on and the criminals really do not make distinction of any religion.

"They kidnap for money, they hold people for ransom Irrespective of their religion and there are some issues of communal matters dating back to many years.

"If statistics is to be taken,I can say confidently that as many Muslims as Christians have been victims of these criminals.

In the summer of 1981 Dee Dee Bailey suffered a second kidney attack that put her in a hospital, and upon arriving at the hospital it turned out that she was also suffering from kidney stones, doubling her concern.
Mary D. Bailey had always gone by the name Dee Dee. She joined our servants in prayer healing group at the church, absorbing instructions in how to minister to the sick, and became an ardent intercessor for the ill.
Her physician was leaving town but told Dee Dee that another doctor would insert a catheter to help her with her problem. unfortunately, the standby doctor forgot and the catheter was never placed. Dee Dee's temperature shot up to 107 degrees and she went into convulsions. Toxic shock syndrome set in and septicaemia raced through her system. Dee Dee went quickly from a painful but treatable illness to a desperately fatal condition.
At 7:30 on this particular Sunday morning, her doctor rushed in to begin a procedure to regulate her heart, but blood poisoning had already been released into her system. Dee Dee's kidneys shut down and her blood pressure started dropping. Her body was dying.
Her mother, Donna, called the church and reported how serious the problem had become. During the worship time, it was announced that Dee Dee was in trouble, and the entire congregation started praying for her, right in the middle of the service. Back at the hospital, Dee Dee's blood pressure fell through to the bottom.
Dee Dee Bailey died.
And then it was as if Dee Dee sat up in bed, even though she saw her body lying flat on the mattress of the hospital bed. She saw tears forming in the eyes of the nurse.
"We're losing her aren't we?" the nurse asked.
The doctor didn't answer but kept working furiously, calling out to her and calling her Mary, even though she didn't normally go by that name. At that moment Dee Dee started leaving this world.
Two large angels appeared and escorted her from the hospital room, Gently but firmly, they led her into a tunnel of light. As Dee Dee floated along, she heard music, but the sound was a thousand times more magnificent than anything she'd heard before. The music overwhelmed her with an awesome sense of thanksgiving. While she had never heard the language before, she could understand exactly what was being sung. She reported that the experience felt wonderful and that all the pain from the kidney stones were gone.
At the other end of the tunnel, she stepped out. In front of her stood Jesus Christ with his arms open and extended toward her. Dee Dee raced to him and they hugged. Somehow without words Jesus communicated how much He loved her.
"It isn't your time," Jesus finally said.
Dee Dee didn't want to leave and realized that she could stay right there forever.
"It isn't your time," He repeated. "I need you to return and feed my sheep."
Dee Dee looked up at Jesus and into the most beautiful eyes she had ever seen. Then she felt the sensation of being slammed back into her own body, and her own eyes popped open.
"Oh my God!" the nurse exclaimed."Her eyes are open."
The doctor had just stuck a needle into Dee Dee's chest.shooting adrenaline directly into her heart. Immediately Dee Dee was rushed to the ICU, where she began her recovery. However, even in those moments the eyes of Christ stayed fresh in her mind.
Today,Dee Dee paints and one of her next tasks is to paint a portrait of the eyes of Christ. But most of Dee Dee's time is absorbed with"feeding the sheep." She has a life assignment to help people meet Jesus Christ and she pursues this work with college students at the University of Oklahoma.And because she is also a survivor of breast cancer,Dee Dee works with women who have been diagnosed with cancer. In all these works, her after-life experience continues to communicate the life of Christ to people even to this day.

The same terrorists he said were technically defeated since December 2015?
What manner of clown is this misinformation minister, Alhaji Lie Mohammed

DaFlash:
Nigeria has "technically won the war" against Islamist Boko Haram militants, President Muhammadu Buhari says.

He told the BBC that the militant group could no longer mount "conventional attacks" against security forces or population centres.
It had been reduced to fighting with improvised explosives devices (IED) and remained a force only in its heartland of Borno state, he said.
Boko Haram has been described as one of the world's deadliest terror groups.
Critics of the government argue that it has exaggerated the scale of its success against the militants, and that each time the army claims to have wiped out Boko Haram, the militants have quietly rebuilt.

Tbh, there is religious freedom in Nigeria. The issue is insecurity and lawlessness.
Because a Muslim is still likely to killed or kidnapped in the North just like Christians.

But since most of the perpetrators are of the Islamic faith, then Islam will automatically bear the brunt of the accusations.


Whichever, it is still the fault of the government because they are so incompetent and complacent that people have begun to suspect they are complicit.

The way even the devil will be amazed at this man's professionalism in lying will certainly be mouth watering .

Lai Mohammed pushes a false narrative here.
Before the advent of ISWAP the killings and persecution of Christians in the North of Nigeria has been ongoing for decades now and largely unaddressed by the Federal and State Governments concerned.
Certificates of Occupancy for lands on which churches are located are revoked for no just cause.
Gideon Akaluka, a Christian who lived in Kano was beheaded for alleged blasphemy against Islam and Mohammed and his head paraded on the streets of Kano. Till date, nothing has been done about it. One could go on and on.
The internet has tons of hate speech and disturbing perceptions against Christians coming from Mohammed Buhari, Pantami, El Rufai et al. That was before the advent of ISWAP.
Lai Mohammed cannot, in all sincerity, deny or claim not to know that in Kwara State where he hails from Christians in the State Public Service face deprivation of promotions and appointments.
Truth is, Islam is an either or proposition. Islam
takes no prisoners!
