AntlisIaam:
How many Muslims were killed in Nigeria for blasphemy against Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit?
That Muslims don't agree that Jesus is God is not blasphemy. You guys have failed to prove his deification and the holy spirit, reason you have that as blasphemy. Muslims love jesus (A.S) as they love Muhammad(S.A.w). We're taught to respect others' religion to preserve our own. A Christian was a friend of our prophet and he sent his men to him in Abyssinia. He lived with the jews and Christians.

Quran calls Christians "people of the book". There was no where Prophet Muhammad went into any battle with Christians or the jews, the only they went to battle with were the idol worshippers of the peninsula. But when you have overzealous Muslims act, you put it on everyone.

Do you know i've seen a woman from Edo insult Prophet Mohammed and she was spared? I know her personally. She's a Muslim today and that's what Islam preaches.

Just when terrorists were setting bombs in the mosques, they did that in a shalom church in Kaduna, and they went on rampage killing muslims in reprisal attacks. Isn't that persecution? They get killed by terrorists, and when the terrorists attack their neighbours, they still get killed.

Those guys coming from Bauchi heading to Akure that were burnt, what was their offence? Those ones coming from Maulud and were killed at Gonin Gora in kaduna what was their offence? They're just strangers coming to pass - just traveling through the state, but get killed because they're Muslims.

That water body where muslims are killed and dumped in Plateau, have you forgotten? An army general was killed and dumped there.

The imam that saved Christians and kept them in the mosque, despite what he saw Christians doing to Muslims and that led to retaliation drive, you don't talk about that.

You Christians always want to appear like you're clean and you play the victims card too. So, you don't want to appear like you kill people even when you're doing it.

Yours is even more senseless if you can’t tell the difference between a Trump administration and the terrorist sponsoring Democrat administration like Obama and Biden
America under Obama is same America under Trump and Biden. The sanction is being contemplated under Tinubu for something that happened in 2019, was Tinubu the president then? Think!

Please, let's remove emotions from this discussion.

How are the christians in Nigeria being persecuted. Someone should explain to us logically.

How?
Massacre and displacement of Christian communities in the Middle Belt by Northern Islamic Jihadists masquerading as Fulani Militias. Mr Helinues, the game is up.

Next case to be addressed will be Chicago-Gate

Stop this nonsense. Before El-rufai came, there have been crisis in Kaduna. Na elrufai still kill the Zonkuwa muslims. Or triggered the Zango kataf crisis. Or caused many other crisis in kaduna and. While they were crying of persecution and blaming El-rufai, Birnin Gwari was burning and it's a Muslim dominated LG. Why don't you blame him for that? Well, those are Muslims, so it doesn't matter.

Una go just hold one useless line de carry am.upadan. erufai Ko...
Oga sir, the thrust of the discourse was/is "killing of Christians" not it's origin. Mallam Nasir El Rufai epitomises state sponsors/backers of persecution of Christians

ruffhandu:
I doubt if you did. Your question were preconceived on first perusal of my post. See below also as you compare the facts on the desk of the congressman.

"Today, religious violence in Nigeria is dominated by the Boko Haram insurgency, which aims to establish an Islamic state in Nigeria. Since the turn of the 21st century, 62,000 Nigerian Christians have been killed by the terrorist group Boko Haram, Fulani herdsmen and other groups."

If you are in the theater, you will come to terms with these facts.
Actually freemasonry is an enlightenment cult and worship the goddess of enlightenment.

I am totally against the killings going on across Nigeria from different armed groups in different regions and Benue in particular, I see politics in everything happening, hopefully this dark chapter will end soon

But I don't like it when America plays religious card to fool gullible christians, go to zamfara, borno, Kebbi, yobe, sokoto and see the mayhem being unleashed on the villagers from their own brothers everyday and it doesn't bother USA

Go to Anambra, imo, abia and see the havoc local armed groups are causing there

Go to Oyo, Ogun, Osun and see ritualists on the rampage and killing spree

Go to rivers, delta, bayelsa etc the home of militants and kidnappers

Let's be honest with ourselves, I don't think there's any persecution of Christians in Nigeria, people from different religions are dying everyday, all I see is bad and wicked leaders who don't care about their own people since their families don't live here in Nigeria

America is a useless country right now and they should mind their business, no one cares about their nonsense sanctions, they are known for supporting terrorist groups across the world for as long as it serves their selfish interest, infact Nigeria should place sanctions on America for aiding and abetting the genocide in Gaza which has killed over 45,000 Palestinians and for supporting domestic terrorist groups against minorities across USA

The same spineless congress that cannot stand up to the scallywag in the Oval Office.

You are a liar, well it is not new as you must glorify taqqiya to strengthen Islam
So, if same Boko Haram that killed Muslims on Sallah day, Jumma't mosque, and those mosques in every area, chose to bomb a church because they wanted the country to go into full blown religious crisis(because that's the aim of their sponsors through USAID and others), other Muslims get killed for it, right? See the thinking.

I mentioned it. Why should others be killed for the sins of others? Are they not also killing Muslims too?


What you referenced indicted you. A military officer in that operation showed me the report. Stop spreading fake story.

I can see terrorist asking how Christians are being killed, Rufai's son a law maker some days tweets they will continue to kill Christians in southern Kaduna meaning they understand how these things are playing out. Only a fool will oppose this sanction.
Re: US Congress Approves Sanctions On Nigeria Over Christian Killings by gabbytabby: 10:56am On Mar 14, 2025
Does this even begin to make sense sanction a country for its terrorism challenges.

The mad man in the White house has been known for his senseless decisions. God help us.

The bully probably did not get the go ahead for a Military base in Nigeria hence.

God bless you for this analysis. They have been trying for so long to push this false narrative of a so called “genocide” against christians in Nigeria. When in fact the violence affects so many other religious groups.

Never mind these are Republicans that are known for their extremist christian nationalist views, they don’t care about facts and are always out to cause problems.

Biafra should use religious sentiment to secede from Nigeria. In reality, it's strange how a Christian and a Muslim country were able to stay together this long. Even lord lugard will be surprised. Imagine Israel and Pakistan in the same country with one president... It will be war without end.

seyigiggle:
your opinion is limited to your knowledge.
the reports are fairly correct.
I had the opportunity to join an evangelism outreach in the north for one year and i know some of the experiences.
incase you don't know, most of the locations where there is massive killing are particularly Christian dominated areas.
do you know that Christians particularly in remote northern state are judge by sharia?
the Christians in the north are under daily persecution
You haven't said anything.

Prove to the world that the killings that take place in the north are in the Christian-dominated areas.

treatise:
Oga sir, the thrust of the discourse was/is "killing of Christians" not it's origin. Mallam Nasir El Rufai epitomises state sponsors/backers of persecution of Christians
It is wrong to accuse Elrufai of sponsoring the killing of Christians, there is no fact anywhere to support this.

The fact is, the Crisis between the different religious groups exists long before Elrufai. He tried to solve it by initially trying to pay off the Fulanis for their financial losses , but this didn't work, and it more or less backfired against him.

His utterance and public image was not helpful too. His approach was more about forcing his ideas on people, instead of listening and coming up with a plan.

His muslim/Muslim ticket for his second term, in a state that has always done a muslim/christian ticket was like a slap on.the Christians in Kaduna.

His image is bad, but saying he sponsored killings is taking it too far.

It is also a fact that more Muslims have died from the insurgency in Nothern Nigeria than Christians, so it is not entirely objective to see it as a war against Christians

Help us fight the terrorists terrorizing Nigerians. You are there calling Christians; are only Christians being killed in this country?? Very divisive-minded set of human beings.
How many Christians are in Zamfara state, where the terrorists have been unleashing mayhem on them?

How?
Killings go on in the northern part that no one reports.

Terrorists and bandits currently control some parts of the country, collecting levies and practicing violent Shari'a.
Christians in these parts are not spared neither.

The case of Deborah who was burnt alive is still fresh.
That of the woman preacher beheaded in Abuja for preaching is still fresh.

You hear these ones because they happened in enlightened spaces.

In remote communities where these bandits and islamist insurgents hold sway, no one reports these.

The terrorists who commit these evils are refurbished with government money and released back to the communities.

But American intelligence is not fooled.
