President Tinubu has denied the nature of this crisis, saying as recently as September of this year that, “there’s no religious persecution in Nigeria.”

He now has an opportunity to deepen and strengthen Nigeria's relationship with the United States and, more importantly, do the right thing.

jaxxy:
For diplomatic reasons not because it wasn't the truth.

I want her to win.
I know Anambarians know what to do.

Irony1:
Be bold enough to mention them. It is cowardly to throw backhanded comments be bold enough and mention their names.

At least, the lai has shifted from "they are coming to stieal awa resources", resources that china is stiealing steadily while the feideral goivernment loiok the other way.

Maybe yeou n yeour faimily should reilocate to plateau or Benue State and pretiend to be Chiristians. Let's see if yeuu'll still be ailive after a couple of years.

jaxxy:
But the fake post is saying the truth.

olabrad:
If yeu are not an Isleamic terorist sympathizer, yeu won't oppose to US coming to Nigeria

Powersurge:
If US interest collides with Russia and China concerning Nigeria, America will attack Nigeria and there's ABSOLUTELY nothing two of them combined can do about it.

In life, you have to ensured that you are strong enough to fight on your own. Not depending on anybody.

I want you to know that America is the ONLY superpower in the world at the moment. China and Russia are global powers. America is the only country with the capacity to take war to anybody within 24hrs.

Pls don't go reason am say if America truly wants to attack Nigeria China and Russia can do anything about it. THEY CAN DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

Lordly13:
Sorry, China has not invested billions of dollars in Nigeria. Infact, Nigeria's major foreign aids comes from the US. Even all of Africa's major aids.

In 2020 China gave all of African nations $300milliion to share.
That's what the US gives to one African nation (South Africa got 380million from the US, Kenya got 200milliion, Nigeria get around 300 to 400mil from the US). That's why Trump is threatening to top sending aids to Nigeria, because theirs is the largest Investment in Africa.

douchesnozzle:
What did China do when Iran was bombarded in and out by Israel. U think China or Russia will blink if US decides to deal with Nigeria. Keep dreaming

jaxxy:
is that's what Iran told u? Lol

Why is Iran suddenly gentle and not looking for trouble again? They know they were 1inch away from a regime change and there was nothing Russia could do.

If Trump wanted their supreme leaders heard Israel would have gladly given it to him.

jaxxy:
I promise u if Trump mean Nigeria there is nothing putin can do. Lol

Go and ask Iran how far. putin hasn't finished dealing with Ukraine in his backyard and needs Trump's help to achieve that.

quip:
Why is it difficult for average Nigerian to reason well.

Trump is not attacking Nigeria. They want to attack the terrorist. The operation will be similar to how Osama was killed .

DIVINEEVIDENCE:
Alliance for what exactly?

To prevent terrorists from being killed?

Goodmarlian:
Isreal is dealing with gaza Russia did nothing you think they will care about one shithole black country agains a world power? Russia already has much on its hands in Ukraine.

ebukal67x:
No foreign interference allowed!

Russia is closely monitoring developments related to reports of potential US military action in Nigeria, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Friday.

Responding to an Anadolu news agency question at a press briefing in Moscow about the situation in the African country, Zakharova urged Washington to adhere to international law.

“We are closely monitoring this issue and call on all parties involved to strictly comply with international legal norms,” she said.

On November 1, US President Donald Trump declared that he had ordered the Pentagon to develop options for possible military measures against terrorist groups in Nigeria to protect Christian communities there.

‘Constitutional commitment’

The Nigerian government has said it does not tolerate religious persecution.

Foreign Minister Yusuf Tuggar said this week that the government has a "constitutional commitment to religious freedom and rule of law".

Africa's most populous country, which is roughly evenly split between a mostly Christian south and Muslim-majority north, is home to myriad conflicts, which experts say kill both Christians and Muslims, often without distinction.

Some analysts suggest that Washington's amped-up rhetoric could be related to Abuja rejecting demands to accept non-Nigerian deportees expelled from the United States as part of Trump's immigration crackdown.
