China and Russia go just condemn the attack on Nigeria... nothing else.
Dem no born China and Russia well to attack US becus of a disgraced country like Nigeria.
We take ourselves too seriously, so because China give us loans and come to invest here they will fight for Nigeria, lol, people are dumb, nations must have strategic national interest with your country or have a specified military assistance pact or treaty with you, to fight for you.
They didn't help Iran, I wonder why Nigeria thinks these countries will fight, when we don't have any pact or military alliance with them... moreover USA is not coming to attack Nigeria, USA is coming to target the terrorists and their sponsors.
BrainScanner: I warned you before to stop watching too much films made in America
If turkey has any power, as much as it hates Israel, he could have struck, loaned out his jet to Iran and/or assist his Islamic jihadists brothers or engage in any way, lol
Marindotijnr: Allegedly When you look at how inactive the president had been on this insecurity issues! Most especially the fulani militias! And all those terrorist sympathizers like Gumi and the rest! U get to understand alot of things going on behind the scenes! Could it be that the then cpc and the current apc truly used insecurity to destabilize the jonathan’s administration!
That period was even when it started, if you think about it.
No mind them, they deliberately inserted invasion, when what Trump wants to do is help us defeat terrorists, I wonder the benefit of terrorists that anyone will want them around...crazy work.
WizardOfNG: Everyone accepts the bolded. If you are wise and pragmatic then you'd see that what you propose, Christian laws in the South, plays into their hand.
They want a nation where their religion can be given a formal excuse to fight Christianity so that they will all get sponsorship worldwide to prosecute Jihad against the South in a nation they believe should be controlled by Islam.
It is not today they have been up to those antics. See below to note Babangida's effort to formally make Nigeria an Islamic nation because they are a people obsessed with seeking the dominance of their religion over that of others they share land with.
You can only defeat that ryoe of obsessive ideology by insisting, backed by law, no religion owns a nation. Not by Christian protectionist pushback that you suggest and is precisely what they want.
If we are pragmatically wise in the South, and understand the dangers of playing into their hands, the solution is to push for the formal and FG-backed effort to put all religions, Christianity and Islam or any other, where they belong. I.e in homes and private places of worship like Mosque and Church with no allowance at all for their influence in public and socio-economic life in any corner of Nigeria.
With the USA pushing for the end of Sharia, especially because of its contentious approval of "blasphemy killings" we have unfortunately had to witness in Nigeria, the South should be using this current global focus on Nigeria to push for more secularity the North must accept rather than us making retrogressive noise about greater influence of Christianity in public life.
Passivity has gotten a lot killed, it's a disease and either naivety or you are being the devil's advocate here. We need to safe guard Christian values of freedom, progress...the jihadists will never stop their pursuit till the end of time, indoctrination of so many years is impossible to erase, the best bet is protect yourself. Naivety is dangerous.
WizardOfNG: I am a pragmatist and have no time for political correctness because being a pragmatist is the most effective way to get the best out of life and gain solutions.
A pragmatist is between uncompromising fundamentalists and self-destructive idealist because a pragmatist deals with reality always.
Uncompromising fundamentalists, like you and the Fulanis, today have destroyed regions as results of your nature. The self-destructive idealist will continue to disregard our considerable and toxic difference to insist we can make "one Nigeria' work.
The pragmatist simply looks at reality to know fighting others you are irredeemably different to uncompromisingly (you lot and Fulanis) only bring destruction and suffering for all long term.
Conversely, the pragmatist also understands that enduring with governance system, i.e "one Nigeria', that has failed, after being given decades to work and produce result, is an exercise in futility and indulgence of insanity.
He will naturally settle on regional autonomy, since seccession is impossible, that everyone to go and live as they wish.
Same with religion. The pragmatist will realise the danger of making regions within the same nation religious enclaves since that may eventually precipitate tension and enmity leading to a religious war some are seeking.
The pragmatist will realize, while Nigeria remains one and with regional autonomy not delivered, that a push for formal and government-backed declaration to make Nigeria more secular, with no exception for any region, is the way forward.
I think you are simply being emotional and unwise. Otherwise you'd see the obvious danger the interpretation the entire world, including the jihad-seeking fundamentalists Islamist currently sponsoring terror in Nigerian, would make of Christian law, like Sharia, being introduced in the South. It is a fairly simple issue.
My submissions is a proposition that will shine light to the darkness, a silent indoctrination is going on across the southern Nigeria, this indoctrination will breed more backwardness and darkness in southern Nigeria, we are trying to ensure the light, progress and development fosters. We can see the fruits of the two religions, even a kid can see the one that benefits society and the one that destroys.
Problem with Nigeria is sugar coating, political correctness and saying black is white, we are a people that choose to blindfold ourselves, because we are afraid to face the truth.
The reaction of Nigerian politicians and some Nigerians on this Trump and Christian genocide issue really exposed how we are...we keep trying to deny the killings, when that has already been established by reality.
Fulani militia are terrorists, they are the problem, we are the solution.
How can politicians be so relaxed because they have hundreds of police guiding them and their families in Abuja and Lagos?
How can they even think of denying the killings, how can they say Nigeria a nation with 36 states has not been invaded and overwhelmed by bandits and territorist, when only Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Akwa Ibom, Calabar, Bayelsa seems to be safe, out of 36 states.
The negotiation with bandits had clearly not worked, only recycled evil demons back into the society with more vigour and impetus. The northern thinking mentality is skewed
dollypi: It is possible the new testament was doctored in some way.
I've been thinking about this for a long time, how this makes Christians easy picking for violent groups.
That is a topic for another day, make your own research on this. But a study of the Bible, even the life of Jesus shows you he was an activist, crusader for truth, justice and freedom, he was not passive like today Christians...if you have read the Bible yourself you will see this, clearly.
Jesus mingled with Mary Magdalene, he stopped people from stoning her, he overstands, he sees the big picture, the Bible portrayed Jesus as a man who lived for truth, justice, equality and love, who was ready to sacrifice for his faith, he was brave. All his dealings, even with the Emperor, he didn't back down, he didn't change his conviction for truth, justice and equality, this was his mantra, but today Christians are too scared to stand for truth, when Jesus the Enigma that inspired the religion, died for truth and light, according to the new testament we have now.
runningriot: Actually, you might not be wrong even though it is bore out of frustration and pains after we have been subjugated to animals with two legs and second class citizens in our own country but toeing the path you are saying will astronomically accumulate the problems and confusion in the country to me the best way Christians should preserve our culture, tradition and values is for Christian parents to encourage their children at tender age to go to church, study and know the Holy Bible.
This passivity is lame, this passivity is why it took foreigners to speak for Nigerian christians that were being killed by jihadists and fulani herdsmen, as recorded in Benue,. plateau, Jos, Kaduna etc, fulanis with their sahel brothers have overrun the whole southern forests, kidnapping and using our money for more weapons, yet you blind hypocrites are talking of passivity.
Elijah is in the Bible, he brought down fire, Jesus Christ challenged the status quo openly when he saw injustice and hypocrisy, this is why they hated him, so many times Jesus described them as snakes and vipers, Jesus was an activist!
I don't know where you modern day Christians got your passivity from.
runningriot: This is very much immaterial and a binary fusion that will further create violence and division. Just the way we don't want Sharia out simple banner of protest should be that Nigeria constitution should be sole and only constitution from the country. We are agitating for equal, justify and prosperous Nigeria that will benefit all in respective of your religion, region or tribe.
This will only go after evil people.
Do you know there are some northerners who import beggars (almajiris) from north to the south to beg as business, these indoctrinated, untrained, hungry beggars grow up in the south, poor and desperate, they will enter the bushes of Ogun etc and start kidnapping for money.
This almajiris exploiters market, which is modern day slavery will be one of the target areas to focus on, to prevent against indoctrination of the young, indoctrination leads to extremism, which leads to terrorism....this is just an area... protection of freedoms, fighting for justice, and outlawing backward evil ideology should be the focus. We must preserve the Christian (freedom) way otherwise it will be eroded by backwardness they are coming with force, we need defence.
runningriot: This is very much immaterial and a binary fusion that will further create violence and division the simple truth should be that the Nigeria constitution should be sole and only constitution from the country.

I think we have passed that stage, this is stage of preserving your way of life.
Mrexcell: These islamic monsters will be difficult to completely root out from the north they have infiltrated the local population the only permanent solution to this crises still remains separating from them and giving them what they really want which is an Islamic country of their own cause it's obvious most of the muslims in the north are fully aligned with their Islamic ideology.
The religious ideology, the people have been shackled.
Flangelo12: Why are Christian Nationalists in America trying to ban women from voting?
Am not in America.
This Christian (freedom) laws, will ensure no one is enslaved, no one is denied access to education, no religious indoctrination that breeds violent extremism and terrorism, no backward ideology or evil ideology will be allowed to thrive. Freedom, justice and progress.
WizardOfNG: What "balance"? What is revealed below is what you want for us in the South? You've reached final year at Uni and you wish to go back to Primary school simply because you feel those there are misbehaving and getting away with it?
Get this into your head once and for all, the best and most progressive nations insist on secularity predicated on religion being private worship.
They know religion can be evil and destructive, because of the tendency of its practitioners to be intolerant, if allowed to significantly present and influential ( as is the case with Northern Nigeria) in every facet of public life.
Face reality, time for political correctness is far gone...their reaction to America coming to help Nigeria to fight terrorists should tell you, the release of bokoharam and negotiating with bandits should tell you...wake up.
Wake up...Martin Luther King was a priest, but is the greatest freedom fighter in history.
Flangelo12: He's trying to be like the white Christian Natoonalists of America who are no different from Taliban.
Recently, they've proposed women be barred from voting.
That's the kind of lunacy they are trying to bring to the south of Nigeria.
Christian laws are synonymous to freedom,. emancipation and light.
Outlaw enslavement, forcing of kids covering their heads, almajiris (which is modern day slavery, someone is ripping off those beggars), and retrogressive and backward ideologies that breed evil extremism will be outlawed.
We are shining some light, too much darkness around here.
