Killing of Christians In Nigeria is Unacceptable, Says Trump


• CAN called for the immediate resignation of Buhari over his alleged inability to tackle killer herdsmen and other security challenges.

• Trump: America would do everything to halt terrorist activities in Nigeria.

• Nigeria has a reputation for very massive corruption.

• PDP has charged Buhari to explain to Nigerians how his administration spent the $1 billion grant from the United States.
The United States President Donald Trump has described President Buhari’s inability to tackle the continued killing of Christians in Nigeria as a riot act to the Nigerian government, and is unacceptable.

He said this, yesterday, when he received President Muhammadu Buhari at the White House for talks aimed at boosting the strategic partnership between both countries.

This came as the Christian Association of Nigerian (CAN) called for the immediate resignation of Buhari over his alleged inability to tackle killer herdsmen and other security challenges . The association also urged the international community to save Nigeria from a religious crisis, describing the recent attack on a church in Benue State as a jihad.

Expressing concern over the killing of Christians by Boko Haram, Trump said America would do everything to halt terrorist activities in Nigeria. “We have met before , developing great relationship. We look forward to our discussions today. They are very important, but again, especially as it relates to terrorism. That is terrorism here and terrorism all over the world. It’s a hot bed and we are going to be stopping them.”

“Also, we have had a very serious problem with Christians who are being murdered, killed in Nigeria. We gonna be working on that problem, and working on that problem very, very hard, because we can’t allow that to happen ,” he said.

The U. S . President said his country would invest substantially in Nigeria, if Buhari creates a level – playing field by removing barriers to trade between the countries.
He also acknowled that Nigeria is one of America’s largest trading partners in the region, that the U. S . provides it with more than $1 billion a year in foreign aid and wants Nigeria to take down trade barriers in return. According to him , “ We think that we are owed that.” According to Trump: “Nigeria has a reputation for very massive corruption. I also know that the President (Buhari) has been able to cut that down very substantially. We talked about that . He is working on it and they have made a lot of progress , and I think they will continue to make a lot of progress . ”

On tackling insecurity , Trump noted: “We’re helping Nigeria by facilitating intelligence cooperation and providing military training and equipment. We recently sold Nigeria 12 Super Tucano aircraft in the first -ever sale of American military equipment to Nigeria. Nigeria is a valued partner and a good friend. ”
Responding, Buhari acknowledged the deteriorating insecurity in Nigeria and expressed appreciation for U.S. assistance in military training to curb terrorism in the northeast.

He said: ” Certainly , security is the main issue . We are very grateful to the United States for agreeing to give us the aircraft we asked and the spare parts. We are even more grateful for the physical presence of the United States military instructors that go into our institutions and train them , and go to the front in the northeast, to see how they are performing as a result of the training given to them.”

On the clashes between herders and farmers in Nigeria, Buhari said: “ The Nigerian herdsman never carried anything more than a stick and occasionally a machete, to cut down foliage and give to their animals. These ones are carrying AK 47. So, I don’ t think people should underrate what happened in Libya, 43 years of Gadaffi. People were recruited from the Sahel. They were taught nothing other than shoot and kill. With the demise of Gadaffi, they moved to their countries and their regions and they carried away with them, the only experience they have and training using weapons. And that is what is aggravating the situation . ”

Bhari then said: “ We are doing our best to ensure that we stop cross border (crime ) and so on, and to get the proliferation of small arms in the region checked But it is going to take time. And the action by the United States in trying to see the end of ISIS has helped us a lot , because Boko Haram in Nigeria, at one time, made a statement that they were loyal to ISIS. And now that ISIS has virtually gone, with the help of the United States, we are very grateful for that. And we are sure that we are stabilising the situation of security in Nigeria. ”

On what his government is doing to rescue the girls still being held by Boko Haram, Buhari said: ” The Chibok girls was before we came in 2014. We have only a number of them. We recovered about 30 of them. But the Dapchi ones, they were 106 that were kidnapped. We got 100 back , four died. One is still held in captivity, and we are very grateful for the United Nations that is acting between the kidnappers and us and haven’t given up. We are trying to get everybody back to join their families and their schools.”

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), meanwhile, has charged Buhari to explain to Nigerians how his administration spent the $1 billion grant from the United States.

It also expressed shock that Buhari admitted the receipt of only $500million and failed to say what became of the money. In a statement, yesterday, the party’s Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan , said “ More disturbing is the revelation by President Trump that the U. S . has been supporting Nigeria with the sum of $1 bn annually, whereas President Buhari, in his script, announced that Nigeria received only $ 500m last year.” The PDP said : “ We had expected President Buhari , as the ‘ African Champion on Anti-Corruption’, to immediately respond to President Trump on the whereabouts of the shortfall of $500 m. ”

It described Buhari’s performance as embarrassing for “completely failing to project the economic interests of our nation before the American government and the world. ”

Nice one. But personal business do not guarantee life success for all . If personal business is not your calling, stay in de E quadrant and adopt the I quadrant to invest more and more and acquire more asset that will generate more wealth and then quiet the E quadrant.

nice one but this public show of proposing is not for people like me. This is not a sign of love but exhibiting of foolish act started by one ediot.

A good example of a blog is www.hkitnob.com

that is sad. May her soul rest in peace

When natural resources are not utilize to improve the society, the people suffers more. A case of study is the Nigeria government not being capable to change Nigeria; even as being the highest oil producing nation in Africa can not provide security for lives and property.

R I P. Bad Government and death has no respect for lives...

Beautiful Children. The young shall grow. I think it's time to consider building up a family, because I could still remember when she had her first child. Ohoh... just a thought... only a thought

this is gross suicide done by the act of wickedness. How can eleven people die at an exercise training. Them be flies

she is presently looking much prettier than she was.

I look forward to the day Nigeria Education system would implement something like " 500 Best Students Bag 2million Each To Start Up Self Business." Good news, but wat is bad if this 500 people are empowered to empower their society ? Nigerian graduates are slaves to think of working rather than to recreate! Is why we have corrupt system of government where you think you have to steal more to survive.

Behind every successful woman, there is a man who believe in her dream. Nice one to Nigeria Senate President. Success is inside out

Wink, I finally was able to look for someone trouble today. I can be of support to your project. But what will be the outcome of the project? I mean is there a price?

I pray them a happy marriage life. Pride and humiliation won't chip in.

wow... memories. Nice one

Nice one. But Nigerians graduate should consider entrepreneurship. Bank jobs are tasking most especially being a marketer.

Perhaps, who knows she may be a vegetarian and she may also be involve in weekly or daily exercise routine could be why she could still maintain her shape.

That lady is so so beautiful....She looks like Rihanna


Her beauty killed it in the fourth picture with her smile.

God is wonderful.

Beauty don't sustain marriages, neither will professional background do that or a big behind. I have seen well educated people behave like animals in marriage. What can survive any marriage is character, peace and the willingness to become submissive to the head of the home. Some women can be beautiful, but their attitude is nothing to write about. Some men can be so handsome, and outwardly gentle.... they are deceitful because their appearance always justify them to be right even when wrong. look beyond the appearance it goes a long way, and understand he who find a wife, has found a good thing and has obtain favor from the Lord thy God.

Nigeria Politics with their talk talk and no action. As long as Apc remains in power, Saraki is there for life.

This is what happens when people are idle with their mind, and what keep them active is pornography

My advice to the any young men/ladies using Nairaland is to stay of porn, drugs and romance section.
