The federal Government on Monday condemned the call by five United States Republican senators asking for the redesignation of Nigeria as a country of particular concern because of alleged persecution of christians.

The senators who made the call in a letter to the US secretary of state, Antony Blinken, had also alleged violation of freedom of Nigeria christians right to practice their religion.

Responding to the allegation in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in London, the Minister of information and culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, on Monday said the call was based on false premise and misunderstanding of what was going on in the country.

NAN reports the Minister is in London for engagements with international media as well as some relevant Non-Governmental -Organisations.

The Minister said,"We want to say once again that Nigeria does not have a policy that denies people the freedom to practice their religion.

"The country also does not have a policy of violation of freedom of religion and it is not true that Nigeria persecutes anybody on account of his or her faith".

He added, "Nobody in Nigeria is being persecuted, but we have issues of criminality going on and the criminals really do not make distinction of any religion.

"They kidnap for money, they hold people for ransom Irrespective of their religion and there are some issues of communal matters dating back to many years.

"If statistics is to be taken,I can say confidently that as many Muslims as Christians have been victims of these criminals.

It's this old cargo that will not respect her age that keeps prolliing about picking on every post I make after which her followers will now troop in and start saying the same things all over again.

Very confused bunch.

I see aunty mercychen must have left an indelible mark on their souls for them to be having sleepless nights over her.

Don't be annoyed..... just take it easily or better still ignore them.

Let's reject him completely

Are you really a LovePeddler?

You guys have started again.

Parachoko:
The people that kicked him out are the same people who have been abusing and hating on Tinubu since 2013.

They have been calling him a Fulani Slave for supporting his fellow countryman.

They were happy when Adamu announced Lawan as The Special One. They jubilated and said "Tinubu has been used and dumped".

They hate Tinubu more than they hate Buhari or Fulani heardsmen.


They jubilated when Tinubu said "Buhari does not listen".

They jubilated when Oluremi Tinubu said "My Husband Has Been Used And Dump"

They were jubilating Tinubu have been sideline. But now, you will never see them blaming Buhari for his woeful performance, they are directing the blames at Tinubu.

The same Tinubu dey jubilated he has been Used And Dumped. The same Tinubu they jubilated when he said "Buhari does not listen"

My Support For Bola Ahmed Tinubu is not shaking at all.

On the Jargaban Mandate I Stand Gidigba

Keep shut....... your statement sounds irritating!

Or am I missing something

Beans weevil is a pest of beans when it's not stored properly.

Good development....at least it will reduce the pest (Beans weevil).

Milliator:
June was effectively a transitional month for many of Africa's top women's footballers between their club schedules and the Africa Women's Cup of Nations (AWCON) in Morocco from July 2-23. However, four Super Falcons stars still found time to excel for their clubs in Sweden and the USA before the international break, while there have been standout performances elsewhere in Africa during AWCON warm-up games.

Rankings according to ESPN:

1. Ngozi Okobi-Okeoghene, Eskilstuna United

Uchenna Kanu left the Damallsvenskan for Mexico's Tigres UANL after last season, but Nigerian internationals continue to shine in the league and Okobi-Okeoghene was June's standout performer.

2. Anam Imo, Piteå

Imo netted twice in Piteå's 3-1 win over Umeå on June 5, putting her team 2-1 up in the 38th minute and then scoring a penalty in the 88th to put the result beyond doubt.

3. Ifeoma Onumonu, Gotham FC

Having been on target for Gotham in their 1-0 win over Angel City on May 30, Onumonu turned provider on June 5 as she teed up Midge Purce for the only goal in another 1-0 victory, this time over Washington Spirit.

4. Michelle Alozie, Houston Dash

Alozie was relegated to a bit-part role at Houston Dash last season, but is fulfilling her potential in the 2022 campaign and scored her first goal in the NWSL in a 5-0 thrashing of Orlando Pride.

5. Ajara Nchout, Inter Milan

Nchout found her scoring boots over the past season with Inter Milan, netting eight times in 18 Serie A Women appearances. In a 2-2 friendly draw with Senegal, she recently reminded Africa why she is Cameroon's star player.

6. Samya Hassani, Gent

Hassani bagged a brace for Morocco in a 7-0 friendly drubbing of Congo three weeks ago, netting in the 47th and 81st minutes.

7. Salma Amani, Saint-Malo

Amani, who is at the opposite end of her career to Hassani, also scored twice against Congo in Morocco's recent friendly.

8. Barbra Banda, Shanghai Shengli

Based on talent alone, Banda should regularly feature at or near the top of our rankings. However, a lack of regular club football during her time in China in recent years due to the short league season means her presence has been less frequent than it would otherwise have been.

9. Khadija Er-Rmichi, FAR Rabat

During pre-tournament warmup matches, Morocco's performances suggest that they have one of the strongest defences in the AWCON.

10. Grace Chanda, BIIK Kazygurt

Chanda has been one of the most influential players in a successful era for Zambian women's football. It is no surprise, then, that the forward finally earned an overseas move to BIIK Kazygurt in Kazakhstan recently.

Why not put in their pictures.

What is Nigeria turning into nowadays?

The three of them should face the right justice,or they should just cutoff their manhood to reduce RAPE in the society.

Let it not be what am thinking

Ishilove:
