Politics / US Senators Write Biden To Relist Nigeria As Violator Of Religious Freedom. by Bluebolt: 3:45pm On Jul 01, 2022
The United States of America Senators, Marco Rubio and Josh Hawley have written to President Joe Biden to relist Nigeria as a ‘Country of Particular Concern’ over increasing cases of violence against Christians in the country.
The letter written by the two US Republican lawmakers was signed by another three senators, Mike Braun, Tom Cotton and Jim Inhofe.
In the letter to the U.S. Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, the senators urged President Biden to immediately reinstate Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) under the International Religious Freedom Act.
There has been a recent surge in violent attacks and killings of Nigerian Christians by their Muslim counterparts over alleged blasphemy of Prophet Muhammad and other allegations in Nigeria, especially in the Northern regions.
The US lawmakers noted that religious violence is still high in Nigeria which had been earlier put on the list of the countries of particular concern with regards to religious violence by President Donald Trump’s administration but was delisted by the current Biden administration.
The letter which was also published on Senator Rubio’s official website reads, “As you are well aware, horrific acts of deadly violence have been committed against Nigerian Christians in recent weeks, including the massacre of churchgoers on Pentecost Sunday and the stoning of a Christian college student. Sadly, such violence has become all too familiar for Christians in Africa’s most populous country.
Last year, however, you inexplicably removed Nigeria’s designation as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) despite no demonstrable improvement in the country’s religious freedom conditions. On the contrary, the situation in Nigeria has grown worse. We previously urged you to immediately reverse your misguided decision, and we write today to renew our call.
Recent high-profile acts of violence underscore the intense religious persecution that is regularly experienced by Nigerian Christians. On Pentecost Sunday, gunmen attacked St. Francis Catholic Church in Nigeria’s Ondo state, reportedly killing at least 50 churchgoers.
Last month, a violent mob brutally stoned to death Deborah Emmanuel Yakubu, a student at Shehu Shagari College of Education in northwest Nigeria. According to reports, some Islamist students were enraged by a “blasphemous” message Deborah had posted in a WhatsApp group, in which she said that “Jesus Christ is the greatest. He helped me pass my exams.” Merely expressing one’s Christian faith has apparently become tantamount to a death sentence in many parts of Nigeria.
Religious violence and intolerance directed toward Nigerian Christians has worsened in recent years. One report documented more than 4,650 cases of Nigerian Christians who were killed for their faith in 2021. Accordingly, Nigeria earns the dubious honor—for the second consecutive year—of being the deadliest country on earth for Christians.
We wrote last year that “[n]ot only has the government of Nigeria failed to take meaningful steps to mitigate such violence, but Nigerian authorities restrict and crack down on religious minorities and detain individuals indefinitely on blasphemy-related charges. We remain concerned that the Nigerian government is failing to protect the religious freedom and basic safety of its Christian citizens.
Furthermore, as this year’s annual reports from the bipartisan U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) and from your own Department make clear, Nigerian government authorities directly participate in the persecution of Christians, Muslims, and even non-theists, most notoriously through arrests and convictions under blasphemy laws. Make no mistake: continued enforcement of state-sanctioned blasphemy laws enables the type of deadly violence that killed Deborah Emmanuel Yakubu and so many others.
When we previously wrote you, we were met with a response which failed to answer our questions about why the State Department views Nigeria as not having engaged in or tolerated “systematic, ongoing, and egregious violations of religious freedom” or even “severe violations of religious freedom.” This is unacceptable, especially because you are required by federal law to consider the recommendation of USCIRF—which, since 2009, has been to designate Nigeria as a CPC. In fact, USCIRF reiterated in its 2022 Annual Report that it was “appalled” at the removal of Nigeria’s CPC designation. Despite public statements from you and other State Department officials condemning the recent bloodshed in Nigeria, the fact remains that the Department still does not officially regard Nigeria as a severe violator of religious freedom.
“The State Department released its 2021 Report on International Religious Freedom on June 2, which starts the 90-day timeline for the Department to make its religious freedom designations. Given the abysmal state of religious freedom in Nigeria, it is incumbent upon you to reverse last year’s decision and redesignate the country as a CPC. The moment demands that you do so without delay.”

Foreign Affairs / Sri Lanka Eyes Trimming Presidential Powers Amid Unrest Over Economic Crisis by Bluebolt: 7:21am On Jul 01, 2022
Sri Lanka's government on Thursday proposed amending the constitution to trim presidential powers and beef up anti-corruption powers to help shore up stability and defuse unrest provoked by the country's worst financial crisis in decades. The South Asian island of 22 million people is close to running out of fuel and has struggled for months to find enough U.S. dollars to pay for essential imports such as food, cooking gas and medicine.

Pets / Remembering a wonderful family dog. by Bluebolt: 8:13pm On Sep 14, 2021
We had a dog sometimes in 1992 to 1996.
Up till now every member of our family including our neighbours then, could remember one or two things about the dog. The dog was so smart, that almost all the wonders that the dogs of nowadays perform are not new to me. "Coffee" was super smart, if it heard any one of us singing for more than 15 seconds, it would joing you by howling then making you sing off-key.
It could understand many commands even as we did not dedicate any time to train it.
We were into full-time agriculture then, so it used to follow us to our farms.
It would kill some animals like grass cutters and giant rats for us. without human assistance it killed many snakes, cobra most of the times. When it was younger, it used to pay for every cobra it killed by having closed swollen eyes the following day but after a while it was executing them perfectly without consequences.
The dog was also very protective too, you can't stroll into our compound anyhow.
Coffee was infected by vulvovaginitis, it suffered a lot of pain and it was always hidding itself away from us, it lost appetite after we tried all we could to heal it, my dad asked my elder brothers to take it to the old hunter that gave it to us, to help us euthanize it.
After it demise, a scoundrel claimed that he was the one that used jazz on the dog, because it attacked him and tore his trousers.
It was resently that I started realising that the dog was not a pure ekuuke terrier but more like a pit bull mix, because of the shape of it head, the width of it chest, it height, it stance and the colour of it coat(coffee and white).
It memory always make me crave for another smart terrier.
