I Received a Call From a Top Official In Abuja Informing Me That I Am Among Those Marked By The US For Elimination Through An America Airstrike, As Part Of Boko Haram. Northern Leaders And Clerics Must Speak Up Against These Lies.” He said



Can you now see it that Nigerian government are terrorists enablers?

The quote itself is false

Validated:
“I Received a Call From a Top Official In Abuja Informing Me That I Am Among Those Marked By The US For Elimination Through An America Airstrike, As Part Of Boko Haram. Northern Leaders And Clerics Must Speak Up Against These Lies.” - Sheikh Gumi Cries Out

My question is who are those "Top Officials in Abuja"? They are the ones giving out the military strategies and plans. They are the ones notifying the terrorists about US plans.
The more reason @DonaldTrump should avoid letting Nigeria government be aware of their plans.

The quote is false

The premise of the question is wrong

If you believe there's God and there's a hell, then the question should be:

What would be the gain in disobeying God?

and

is hell worth it?

If you neither believe in God nor hell, then the question is irrelevant

United States lawmakers on Tuesday were urged to mount direct pressure on the Nigerian government to declare Sharia law unconstitutional in the 12 northern states where it has been in force since 2000.

They were also urged to dismantle the Hisbah religious-police commissions accused of enabling extremist abuses.

The call came as American legislators examined escalating violence and what several witnesses described as state-enabled religious persecution targeting Christian communities across northern Nigeria and the Middle Belt.

Appearing before a joint House session convened in response to President Donald Trump’s October directive on Nigeria’s Country of Particular Concern (CPC) designation, the Council on Foreign Relations Senior Fellow, Dr. Ebenezer Obadare, warned that Sharia-based governance and Hisbah enforcement structures have become tools exploited by jihadist factions and radical actors.

According to him, the frameworks provide ideological and operational cover’ for Boko Haram, the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), and radicalised Fulani militias who enforce forced conversions, impose extremist rule, and operate with near-total impunity.

A statement issued by the House Appropriations Committee quoted Obadare as laying out a blunt two-step strategy for Washington: “The policy goal should be two-fold: first, work with the Nigerian military to neutralise Boko Haram.

“Second, the United States should put pressure on President Tinubu to (1) make Sharia law unconstitutional in the twelve northern states where they has been adopted since 2000 and (2) disband the various Hisbah groups across northern states seeking to enforce and impose Islamic law on all citizens regardless of their religious identity.”

Obadare acknowledged that Nigeria has responded to recent U.S. pressure but insisted that far more assertive diplomacy is required.

“As recent events have shown, the Nigerian authorities are not impervious to incentives,” he said.

“Since the country’s Country of Particular Concern (CPC) designation and President Trump’s threat of unilateral military action against Boko Haram, President Tinubu has made several moves, including ordering air strikes against Boko Haram targets, the recruitment of an additional 30,000 policemen, and, most recently, declaring a national security emergency in the country.”

Still, he maintained: “Washington must keep up the pressure.”

The session, led by Appropriations Vice Chair Mario Díaz-Balart (R-FL) and including House Foreign Affairs Committee members, was dominated by stark warnings that the Nigerian state is failing to prosecute — and in some cases enabling — what lawmakers termed “religious cleansing.”

Witnesses referenced the November 22 abduction of schoolchildren and teachers from St. Mary’s Catholic School, Papiri, Niger State, ongoing blasphemy imprisonments, and systematic mass killings that have displaced entire Christian communities.

Obadare stated: “The deadliest and most serious threat confronting the Nigerian state today is jihadist terror, perpetrated by the Islamist group Boko Haram.

“Boko Haram translates to ‘Western education is forbidden.’ Boko Haram’s barbarous and implacable campaign to overthrow the Nigerian state and establish an Islamic caliphate in its stead is the source of Nigeria’s present discontents.

“Every proposal to solve the Nigerian crisis that does not take seriously the need to radically degrade and ultimately eliminate Boko Haram as a fighting force is a non-starter.”

However, Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ) described Nigeria as “ground zero for global anti-Christian persecution,” while Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL) demanded immediate disarmament of militias and the prosecution of attackers.

U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom Chair Vicky Hartzler and Alliance Defending Freedom International’s Sean Nelson detailed atrocities and urged the U.S. government to leverage security assistance, early-warning tools, and targeted sanctions to “force accountability” on Nigerian authorities.

Both Republican and Democratic lawmakers signalled readiness to support Díaz-Balart’s FY26 appropriations language aimed at addressing the crisis.

They confirmed that a formal congressional report is being prepared for President Trump, potentially recommending conditionality on U.S. assistance to Nigeria.

Nigeria was first designated a Country of Particular Concern in 2020 under President Trump but was delisted by President Joe Biden.

Trump, however, reinstated the designation on October 31, warning of possible military action and suspension of aid if Abuja failed to confront anti-Christian attacks and extremist violence.

This month’s hearing follows a separate November 20 House Subcommittee session on the CPC redesignation, which featured senior State Department officials and Nigerian religious leaders.

Tuesday’s briefing reinforced a rapidly growing consensus in Washington: that dismantling Sharia criminal law in northern Nigeria — alongside eliminating Hisbah religious police — is now viewed by U.S. lawmakers as an essential prerequisite to halting what they describe as one of the world’s deadliest and most neglected religious-freedom crises.

If you investigate, you'll probably discover that this account is being operated out of India or israel, like the anti-Islam twitter accounts that Elon Musk exposed

Those ones also impersonated other countries only for their locations to be revealed

More than 90% of them were based in either India or israel

Now you know that most Nigerians are ignorant of so many things.

Those are Tuaregs but how would they know?

Maybe that's the country's main problem

These are Touaregs, this isn't Nigeria

Foolishboy419 apologies

One thing has become clear regardless of claims to the contrary

That thing is that many of those desperate to see the US come into Nigeria, are so because they hate Northern Muslims especially and Muslims in general. As a result, they want to see similar images we've been seeing coming out of Gaza, in the North

Why do I make this claim? Let's take this thread as an example: Ever since the Trump threat, there've been several pages and posts of insults against Islam as a religion and Northern Muslims. If the desire is for the US to come save Christians from terrorist groups, why would anyone insult the religion of the majority in the region?

Fxtrader, despite his crudeness isn't completely wrong. The hate and bile stems partly from those who haven't gotten over Biafra and want Trump to do what they've been unable to achieve for decades now, which is the suppressing of Northerners. In all this, a particular section of the country has been more vocal than even the Northern Christians themselves

On this very thread, anyone believed to be a Muslim has been labeled a terrorist. Shoodboi2, fxtrader2025, IMEI, Alamkiir. It's ironic that those who claim to be standing up for Christians because there's a 'genocide' against them, implying they're being targeted for their faith, are inversely targeting Muslims for their faith

Of course, there are those who are genuinely concerned, but they are few and far between. The majority are just myopic anarchists who don't know the implications of their actions. They're probably too stupid to understand the import of this post

WriteerNg, thanks for this thread. I'll restate this many times, this for me is probably the best thread on Nairaland. Certainly no thread has had my time as much as this one and you deserve a special honour from Seun at the very least. I promised you I won't mess up your thread and I meant it

Hence, this is probably my last post on this thread. I'll still be following though, I just won't be an active poster

God bless this thread

FoolishBoy419:
@Imeii Lordadam

I honestly wish you guys would calm down and discuss this matter peacefully. You're both highly intelligent fellows and I'm sure the house would gain alot from your discussion if you do away with the namecalling. Afterall, both we that have zero trust for Trump's intentions and those in support of his intervention want the best for our homeland.

You're right bro

I'll stay the course from now on... Thanks

Alamkiir:
I tried not to get involved on this issue, but he has been rambling for days now. Da fuk is the trigger

He seems determined to keep the buzz alive for Trump to respond. He's on a personal crusade apparently

He has definitely lost his way on this thread

It's his business Sha

LordAdam16:
continue explaining
don't retreat

tell us why the authorities that usually violently attack the shiites allowed them to protest without confrontation when the target is the us.

-Lord

You're right loudAdam

Whatever it is, you're right...I defer to you

Heart3030:
u rather talk about the west all the time while ur country is in crisis...imagine the heartless mindset of calling someone a religious bigot..because he is firmly standing his ground and talking abt the genocide currently going on in ur country which u choose not to acknowledge by not talking abt it for reasons known to u...
Trying to shut lords down meanwhile communities are still getting attacked

You need to go back several pages and then return to update your comment

Alamkiir:
You oppose the idea of the Axis allowing the US to attack them within their own sovereign countries. Yet, you now call for an attack within your own country, driven by your hatred for a particular tribe and because the violence isn't in your own backyard. It seems this dudes hatred is specifically for the Hausa people.

He definitely has issues

Classic mask off moment

LordAdam16:
you don tire to explain already?

the shiites have credibility
they trooped out to join the sowore bad governance protest against buhari

now explain why the authorities that always monitor and violently attack them when they step out allowed them to protest freely when the target of their ire is the us
you think we are kids

see as e rush with megaphone to explain
oya explain

-Lord

You didn't even know they were Shia until I told you

Keep doing you...Knock yourself out

Alamkiir:
Omo fear religious bigot oh, they fit be professor sef and still lose it when religious discussions come up

All that axis axis axis talk wey him dey do na just cap

It's the way he's totally lost it that's funny, na only him remain wey never relent

LordAdam16:
and your government authorities that usually forcefully disperse them and as you admitted kill them when they step out allowed them to protest freely as long as it is against an intervention

the government banned them as a terrorist organization in 2019
and always mobilizes when they gather
now that intervention is coming they are now free to protest the us without anyone disturbing them

you go explain tire

-Lord

You went from

"people wen no gree protest",

"they only have energy when it is time to sabotage a solution"

and

"but when the killings are happening they will sit in their house"

to

"the government dispersed them before, but allowed them to protest this time"

Continue dey jump like Mario

LordAdam16:
people wen no gree protest against the insecurity that is also killing muslims don find placard start dey protest trump for kano

they only have energy when it is time to sabotage a solution
but when the killings are happening and getting worse, they will sit in their house

-Lord

You too dey yarn dust

The Kano protest is by IMN, aka the Shia movement, aka Iran's followers

Nobody dey protest pass those people, no group don die from hand of Nigerian police and soldiers like dem

They've been carrying out protests like the ones in Iran, chanting death to America and israel while burning their flags for decades, so them showing open opposition to US' presence is normal

You've gone from lordadam to loudadam, just making too much unnecessary noise

Remove that lord for your name

Alamkiir:
As for me i oppose 100%, nothing good will ever come out of America, they can sanction Nigeria leaders from their home. There are Christians in Palestine go and save them

Those ones are bad Christians, they should accept their oppression so they can be blessed

Protoaxen:
Why this cryptic post?

Come out and say what you want to say clearly let us understand!

If you understood the last line, that's all that matters

FXtrader2025:
Most of them have one thing in common, they hate the Northern Muslims, its not about terrrism but just pure hate! especially the Chinedus, they hate anything Nigeria and are always praying for the destructionnn and destabilizatiooon of this country.

Go and Read the open letter Nnamdi Kanu wrote to the US claiming people are k!led in Aba for singing sweet Jesus by the NA

But he forgot how he was inciting his headless mob about the destructiiionn of Lagos through his Radio Biafra during Endsars. Normally Ibo hate anything Islam, most of them are even crypto jews, even Gentle the Yahoo do hoist Israel Flag in his den. But you will never see them post anything related to that Terrorist activities in the East, they are just happy Trump is going to bommmb the Muslims up North

Yes there are Fulani Terrorist in the North no doubt about that, any sensible person knows that, recently on OCT 31 deputy Speaker of Kebbi state HOA was abducted, till date The FG didn’t made any strong statement or even take measures to Rescue one of their own, Yes Nigerians should take a stand against the killings and kidnappings in the whole country not just the North but making it about Islam is plain stupidity, go on SM and see how many Islamic Clerics in Sokoto Katsina and the rest are preaching against these terrorissst and calling on Government to tackle the menace. I dont believe Trump is coming to save Nigeria but to destabilizzze it, imagine the group of terrorissst around the world that will troop into Nigeria just to take their pound of flesh from the US, and it will also be easy to radicalize alot of Northerners and make them see it as a Religious warr against the US and Nigerian Xtians, the amount of weapons that will flow into this country is just unimaginable.

Most of the guys supporting American intervention in this country just h@te Muslims and Northerners and see this as an opportunity that an outside force is here to help them achieve what Ojukwu couldn’t.
Haven't you observed the recent influx of ibo monikers on this thread? All in support of this nonsense,
Bunch of no do wells, that cannot even tolerate their own brothers and clamoring for independence, Nation of drug peddlers and Ritualist. No Rich ibo man outside ibo land ever want to live among his kind because of their immense hatred and envy.

Fish magnet was muted by his fellow ibo brothers for succeeding in Fish business, but it they want Justice for Deborah not for Fish Magnet.

About the dislike for Northern Muslims, I've mentioned that as well and your analysis of what might play out if the US comes, is inline with what I've stated

Me personally, I'm tired of this issue, but it'll keep going on because many Nigerians don't know they're like Boko Haram....in seeking out harm for others, they unwittingly put their necks in the guillotine, causing harm to everyone

The only difference between them and a Boko Haram suicide bomber is that the suicide bomber willingly does so, they on the other hand ought to know, but refuse to acknowledge the self harm in it

This is my last post on this issue

Protoaxen:
First of all, we were talking about how you claimed that you've never seen anyone oppose US intervention on the thread.

Second of all, I didn't know Nigeria had such large rare earth reserves. Why haven't we been mining it since if we had such large natural resources?

There's been opposition even from me, just not absolute opposition. The only exception I gave was fxtrader, as for the rest, they were open to it with conditions attached, including me

Illegal mining has been ongoing for a long time and a lot of bigwigs are in on it. It's a huge racket and it has fueled a lot of the insecurity

Protoaxen:
kai! Which kind lie be this one?

All of you guys opposed US intervention claiming that "they were coming to take our resources" and even resorted to insults during the ending of September.

I remember pointing out that you guys had no problem with Wagner PMC operating in Africa but you guys had problems with Blackwater in Nigeria.

Obedience4 u don dey see these guys abi?

I still believe the rare earth minerals in the North is a target for Trump, but I've made it quite clear repeatedly, that what I oppose completely is a unilateral invasion by the US

If you still dispute what I've said, present the evidence. I don't delete my posts

obedience4:
Many a times i have been deep in a "brown study" and wondered how individuals could show so much empathy to civilians in Gaza while also cheering on Putin's destruction in Ukraine!!. All my ruminations on these matter never made sense to me!!

After much thought, i came to the conclusion that two distinct factors were driving such irrational thinking. I have stated it before here on the thread. let me reiterate myself for empahsis sake!! hate for the West!! and religion!!. These two double edge sword with the latter being more potent are the driving force influencing such behaviours!!

It is now axiomatic that some of those who were clamouring for gaza civilians were simply influenced by religion. Because i find it strange that the same set of fellows who have been hullabaloo on the thread day and night for the likes of russia, iran, and China to intervene in the "perceive killings and genocide of civilians in Gaza and now vehemently resisting the mere idea of an external intervention in Nigeria while camouflaging under the pretense that they want the country sovereignty to be intact

Bearing in mind that terrorists and other militias have been breaching our borders for some time now. In fact, our borders are as accessible and spacious to foreign elements as a "lady of the night" working tool!!.

P.s Trump is not coming!! That's a fact, a military intervention by the US is not feasible. Not now, not in the foreseeable future.

But at least what we can gain from this debacle is that it has become obvious without doubt, that expect the Christians and other minorities in the northern part of Nigeria fend for themselves nobody will help them. Not the Nigeria government nor the military


Another fact that gain from this debacle is that Nigeria won't celebrate 100 years as a sovereign nation together.. She won't even see 80 years together. We as a country is sliding down the slope of disintegration..the question is will it be a peaceful separation? or civil war??

Apart from maybe fxtrader, I haven't seen anyone here completely oppose foreign intervention, either by the US or anyone else

My own position is clear, I oppose a unilateral deployment of US troops, if it'll happen, it should be in conjunction with Nigerian troops and with the knowledge of the Government

I personally prefer the return of the South African PMC that routed Boko Haram in 6months. Those guys delivered and they showed a high level of efficiency and professionalism. Unfortunately, they were forced to leave due to pressure from the same US that wants to play saviour now. Isn't that ironic?

As for Ukraine, I've never cheered the deaths of civilians. My post history is there for you to scour and find proof to the contrary. I've only criticized Zelensky's decisions and have made it clear that Ukraine has no chance of winning and I still stand by that

Even if I do say so myself, I've been consistent in my stance since the beginning

The Nobel Committee lacks credibility

While people were mocking Trump for losing the award to this woman, that was the plan all along

She was supposed to win inorder to give her the fame and credibility needed for her to play this role

With the US having set its sights on Venezuela, under the pretext of combating drugs and labelling Maduro a narco terrorist, she would help reinforce that narrative and be crucial for manufacturing consent and justification for an overthrow of the Government

The whole thing appears too co-ordinated to have been coincidental

A psyop

Islam is the most diseased religion... The adherents needs evaluation

Terrible religion

'Infected islamists' were on their own, a bunch of people decided to kill their military, political and traditional leadership in a bid to decapitate and subjugate them

To make it worse, mockery followed in the form of songs and taunts, adding insult to injury

The 'infected islamists' got fed up and struck back, which led to a war they won and some people are still yet to recover

The taunts and mockery led to the slur 'ewu hausa' that's still used to describe Northerners to this day
