If it is south west Muslims, one can understand it fully , but when this opposition is coming from south west Christians with 99% opposition then there is problem.

This is even coming a week after almost 50 northern officers were arrested for plotting a coup against the government of one of Tinubu.

There is a ceetain Daniel named Bwala.
There is RenoOmokri
There is also Keyahomo Festus.

They all denied the genocide. Igbos are happy with the genocide as they see it as karma on Gowon's people for 1966 outcomes. In fact the yorubas are the most caring if any care from the south towards the slaughtered Christians in the north.

Those SW figures or bodies are cheap buyable targets. For every one Yoruba bought over or serving partisan interest, there are 100,000 other strongly opposed to killing of Christian northerners that are voiceless.

I wonder how you missed a certain Daniel named Bwala from that north if not that you are after cheap politics. I wonder if Omokri is more Yoruba than Igbo?
I wonder if Keyamo is more Yoruba than Igbo also?

Lol. I breathe in CO along with oxygen.
Asides that can think of any real benefits.

Never recieved a dime of interventions or tax waiver
No free food.
No cheap loans

Okay i remember one, public school attendance. At least govt paid most of the salary of the teachers.

Rev. Dachomo’s accusation is baseless and aimed at causing unnecessary tension. The JTF OPEP condemns the misleading narratives and hereby warns the propagator to desist from causing panic and discord among the peace-loving people of the state to abstain from such acts or face the full wrath of the law.”

But despite the denials, Dachomo’s alert turned out to be true as the very night he raised the alarm, three communities in Barkin Ladi were attacked simultaneously with over 17 people killed.

True indeed. The govt structure in Nigeria is larfely islamic. After snatching power few times via military and seeing the limitations of trying to develop the north, they havee since changed strategy and instead, go for the islamization approach of writing a constitution strongly in favour of islam, then going for the juivy potential of southern resources.

Everybody knows that GDP does not signify growth but HDI
but will yoruba agree ?

is Osinbajo an igob man?
You hijacked a valid argument from a man not your tribe for your tribe just because of your hatred for that tribe. Weldone ooo.

Only a compromised govt will reject the chance to neutralize a situation she claims to spend billions of USD on annually.

What happened to hausa G O also?

Every tribe n his own moses.

People who monitize evil spirit talents go full here ooo.

For someone who is open to the idea of hijacking a religion as his own along with his mob, what gives you the right to interpret another religion you have no regard for or use to support an argument?

Is that to mean the prophets in islam are silent about Sinners and terrorists? I thought their sharia was about dealing with sinners so what does "their" book have to say about one who kills his felow muslim?

While you have presented many facts, the idea of Ijaw being anywhere near as politically savvy as Fulani should be erased from that skull.
Ijaw cant control even their own backyard because they are always at loggerheads with their neighbours over land and territoriality.
The ijaw man is less of an investor and is more willing to burn through his wealth in a loud way, a 180° change in direction from Fulanis.

A dead country built around tribal slavery

Then let the opposition b dealt with accordingly.

The pattern is unmistakable. One tribe trying to islamize a nation with 300 other tribes. They did it in Rwanda, are doing it in Congo DRC and will do it in Nigeria if not stopped by saner nations who know what islam means first hand. It is a gradual initiation process into a cult like group, once you sunmit your brain, you lost awareness of your true self. It is a closed loop of subconciousness. It is like a scale trying to weight itself. It cannot but has a weight of its own. Thats the islam they are trying to uae to silence the whole African so they can share resources with their white partbers.

Imagine DRC $24 trillion of resources under their feet. Last December a mountain collapsssed and what they saw beneath was raw copper in mad volume. As we speak that part of DRC is under heavy onslaught. Heavy weapoms that even Ukraine cannot readily boast of were used in the battle of Goma, DRC earlier this year. Where are the Tutsis getting such weapons from. Dont even tell me black market.

Islamic leaders largely and few stooges who have been compromised religiously like Asari Dokubo and Co. They appear to not fit the stereotype of core-northern extremists but are actively involved and just on standby waiting for orders.

US President Donald Trump caused alarm across Nigeria over the weekend when he said he was contemplating military action in Africa’s most populous nation in response to what he claimed was a “mass slaughter” of Christians by Islamist insurgents.

The reality on the ground, experts and analysts say, is a more complex and nuanced one. Both Christians and Muslims — the two main religious groups in the country of more than 230 million people — have been victims of attacks by radical Islamists, they say.

The West African nation has grappled for years with deep-rooted security problems that are driven by various factors, including religiously motivated attacks. Observers say other violent conflicts arise from communal and ethnic tensions, as well as disputes between farmers and herders over limited access to land and water resources.

The Nigerian government rejects claims that it is not doing enough to protect Christians from violence, saying it was bewildered by Trump’s suggestion of a potential military intervention.

“We are shocked that President Trump is mulling an invasion of our country,” Nigerian presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga told CNN after the US president instructed the Pentagon to prepare for possible military action.

Additionally, Trump threatened to stop all US aid to Nigeria if its government fails to take steps to stop the killings of Christians. He warned that the proposed intervention would be “fast and vicious,” aimed at eliminating the “Islamic Terrorists” he said were responsible for these atrocities.

Is Trump correct about a mass slaughter of Christians in Nigeria?
As Trump’s war threats echo among Nigerians, his assertion that “Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria” has provoked strong reactions from many within the country.

Nigeria has nearly equal numbers of Christians and Muslims, with the northern region predominantly Muslim and the southern region largely Christian.

In 2012, the Islamist group Boko Haram issued an ultimatum, ordering Christians in the northern region to leave while calling on Muslims in the south to “come back” to the north.

John Joseph Hayab, a pastor who leads the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in the country’s northern region, where attacks by Islamist groups are prevalent, told CNN that he agrees with Trump’s claim of “systematic killings of Christians” in that area. However, he added, “there has been a little shift in the last two years,” with the scale of the killings reducing.

Hayab said he had presided over numerous mass burials of slain Christians, stating that “every state in northern Nigeria has suffered its own terrible share of killings targeting Christians.”


He urged the Nigerian government to acknowledge the issue and take measures to correct the killings rather than deny them.

“We have raised this matter dozens of times, but nobody hears us,” he claimed, acknowledging the role of US Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas in bringing attention to reports of alleged Christian persecution in Nigeria.

In August, the Republican senator introduced a bill calling for sanctions against Nigeria for purported violations of religious freedom.

Some analysts argue that while Christians have been targeted by Boko Haram and other Islamist groups seeking to impose their extreme interpretation of Islamic law, Muslims, including those considered moderate, have also been victims of those groups.

Bulama Bukarti, a Nigerian human rights advocate specializing in security and development, disputed Trump’s comments, telling CNN that they “reflect a dangerous oversimplification of Nigeria’s complex security crisis.”

He stated: “The claim that there is a ‘mass slaughter of Christians’ by ‘Islamic radicals’ distorts the reality on the ground and risks deepening divisions in a country already under immense strain.”

High profile killings in predominantly Christian areas draw international attention
Northern Nigeria has witnessed horrific killings targeting religious groups this year. In April, gunmen believed to be Muslim herders, killed at least 40 people, including children, in a predominantly Christian farming village, the Associated Press reported.

Two months later, more than 100 people were massacred by attackers in Yelwata, a largely Christian community in Benue state, also in the north-central, according to Amnesty International.

Pope Leo XIV offered prayers for the victims of the Yelwata attack, many of whom were “internally displaced persons sheltered by a local Catholic mission,” a Vatican news report said.

Outside the northern region, such targeted killings are rare. A a mass shooting at a church in Owo, a community in southwestern Nigeria, left dozens dead in 2022. Court filings seen by Reuters linked the suspects in the Owo massacre to al-Shabaab, a militant group affiliated with al-Qaeda operating in East Africa.

Muslims have also been victims of targeted killings this year. In August, at least 50 worshippers were killed — some shot, others burned alive — when gunmen attacked a mosque in the north-western Katsina State, Reuters reported.

Many similarly brutal attacks have been carried out in Muslim communities by Boko Haram and other armed groups in Nigeria’s predominantly Muslim north.

“Yes, these (extremist) groups have sadly killed many Christians. However, they have also massacred tens of thousands of Muslims,” Bukarti said. He noted that “the groups’ attacks on other civilian locations such as markets, bus stops and refugee camps (disproportionately) harm Muslims,” as the states where the radical groups operate are predominantly Muslim.

“Mr. Trump’s rhetoric (suggesting a mass slaughter of Christians) not only misinforms the international community but also risks fuelling extremist propaganda and undermining local efforts to build peace,” he added.

What does the data reveal?
Claims that Christians are being disproportionately targeted by extremists in Nigeria are not supported by what little data is available.

Armed Conflict Location & Event Data, a crisis-monitoring group, reported that more than 20,400 civilians were killed in attacks in Nigeria between January 2020 and September of this year. Among those casualties, 317 deaths were attributed to attacks targeting Christians, while 417 deaths were reported among Muslims, though the organization did not include the religious affiliation of the vast majority of the civilians killed.

Security analyst Nnamdi Obasi, a senior adviser at the International Crisis Group think tank, explained that while extremist groups have wreaked havoc against both Christians and Muslims in the northeast of Nigeria, bandit groups have terrorized predominantly Muslim communities in the northwest. Additionally, predominantly Christian farming communities in parts of the North Central zone have suffered persistent violence from armed groups.

However, “in most parts of the country, Christians and Muslims live peacefully with each other,” he said. “Reports of widespread persecution and mass slaughter of Christians are seriously misread and exaggerate the challenges of interfaith relations in the country.”

Ken Eluma Asogwa, a spokesperson for the opposition Labour Party, told CNN that “even though the government of Nigeria has been lackluster and shambolic in its approach to the protection of its citizens from murderous non-state actors operating under different aliases, there is no evidence to support Trump’s claims that Christians are particularly targeted for extermination.”

On Friday, Trump designated Nigeria a “Country of Particular Concern” under the US International Religious Freedom Act. The label is a suggestion that his administration has found that Nigeria has engaged in or tolerated “systematic, ongoing, (and) egregious violations of religious freedom.”

Nigerian President Bola Tinubu has so far remained silent about Trump’s mention of potential military intervention but pushed back against the designation, stating in a social media post that “the characterization of Nigeria as religiously intolerant does not reflect our national reality, nor does it take into consideration the consistent and sincere efforts of the government to safeguard freedom of religion and beliefs for all Nigerians.”

Would US military action be likely to stop the killings?
Trump has not ruled out the possibility of sending US troops to Nigeria or launching airstrikes in the country, telling reporters on Sunday, “I envisage a lot of things.”

But analyst Obasi said that any unilateral US military operation against Islamist groups in Nigeria would not address the underlying factors driving instability there.

Such an intervention, he said, “without the involvement of Nigerian security forces, would be predictably unwelcome by many Nigerians and could further destabilize the country, aggravating its security situation.”

Instead, he urged the Nigerian government to “intensify efforts to end the mass killings of citizens,” regardless of their religious or other identities, and to address religious extremism, tensions over resources and banditry, “which are the underlying drivers of most of the mass killings.”

Bulama, the human rights advocate, believes the Nigerian government can address Trump’s criticism by “moving beyond defensiveness.”

“It should meet misinformation with data,” he suggested, adding that “this moment calls for candor, not posturing.”

“Constructive dialogue, not social-media outrage, will best serve Nigeria’s interests — and the cause of peace,” he advised.

How much a kwhr?

Why use about 1.5kwhr to cook a meal. Do it twice daily?

Source pls. Cc nlfpmod fergie001

Same Nigeria that begged to buy Tucanos from USA to fight terrorists It is clear they are just using southern resources to improve northern dominated army.

How? Can dead terrorists retaliate?

The owners of naija wont like ooo. Why you think Asari na moslem.

Can remember where i saw mine but 2026 was predicted as the year Nigeria finally implodes.

But Iran & Britain can interfere right?

If not beating & harassing civillians, they are carrying handbag for the wife of the assistant commissioner or holding camera for bandits.

AMINDA:
They are still busy milking Kwankwaso's comments and translating it to several languages. What manner of incompetents are Tinubu's media aides? The presidency is in disarray! Little wonder they were desperate for both Obi and Atiku to comment. They desperately needed a co-sign.

El.

Salewa97:
The USA that we know of is not interested in the affairs of Nigeria.

All their NGO's are heavily monitored.

Any attempt to come and destabilize Nigeria in the name of helping, would be resisted with all the force.

We are waiting for them

Even if true, allow them cone but direct them to the base of the terrorists. Lol.

You dont want the islamization to stop.

Finally the APC e-warriors have concocted an excuse to reject help that can stop the genocide and insecurity the govt has always pretended to be fighting.

We know already. There is an underlying pattern of aggression whenever Christians are the majority victim. Burnt houses. Burnt churches that aren't allowed to be rebuilt with state funds unlike mosques. Christians in IDP camps mostly.

Mynd44:
Nigeria is fighting terrorists and we have been making progress but with difficulty.

Anyone who wants to join us to fight these terrorists is welcome.

The whole screaming is a giving me headache abeg.

Whether there is a Christian genocide or Muslim genocide, people are being killed. Those who want to fight the killers should go ahead.

the pattern suggest the muslim kill are meant to obscure the christian genocide pattern. I will love them to publish the biodata of IDPs across that north lets see. The Christians most times get annihilated and their settlement permanently taken over as opposed to killings, massive kidnap and conscription for muslims.

The owners of Nigeria attack Igbonla.

Fulani muslim northern people want islamic country through a bloody conquest and see their jihadist brothers as freedom fighters, yoruba south western people want the federal power to remain with their son Tinubu for another 4 years before they can start their agitation for Oduduwa nation, while Igbo south eastern people want Biafra as they appear to be the only ones that are ready to leave the toxic union now since they have nothing to gain at the national level

hmmm. The vocal Yorubas are indeed qaiting for uncle yekini to finish before resuming the ronu exercise.
Ijaw is waiting for their hausa brethren to snatch power ab give them a share. Tiv have been distributed into many states so don't have the will to pull reaources across state lines.

Fulani are masters of the game anyday anytime.
