I am totally against the killings going on across Nigeria from different armed groups in different regions and Benue in particular

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 American government 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

That person didn't hear over 60 Christians were kidnapped yesterday or so?

Muslims have been killed because of their belief. It happened in Jos, it happened in Kaduna, it happened in Kasuwa magani, etc.

Explain the burning of mosques in these places too.

The same state where Deborah was killed, another Muslim was also killed in the most brutal way. Why are you guys sounding like this is an official thing? The guys who killed Deborah were arrested, the Muslim guy died without anyone being arrested. If it were the other way around, I know what you guys would be saying.

You think anyone care about sanctions here?

The Christians being killed by UGM, are they Muslims?
Explain the burning of churches and killing of Christians in Kano, because Reinhard Bonke was to hold a.crusade

How many Moslems have been killed by Christians because of blasphemy?

A Moslem who converts to another religion must.die.

Islam spreads by violence and is sustained by violence.

You guys should leave us alone, so you can have your Islamic State.

We cannot belong to the same country


We value human life, which you don't.

UGM is political not.teligious.

Boko Haram, ISIS ISWAP, etc are all messengers of Allah spilling the blood of the innocent in the name of a very crude and primite practices from.Saudi Arabia.

Enough please.
Re: US Congress Approves Sanctions On Nigeria Over Christian Killings by maasoap(m): 8:27pm On Mar 14, 2025
Firstly, I don't understand what they meant by Christians killings. Nigerians are being killed irrespective of their religions. It is not like Muslims or some groups are specifically targeting Nigerian Christians.
Secondly, whatever the sanctions are on Nigeria as a nation, it will surely affect the so called victims too

You see those figures they mentioned as the of Christian victims over specific period, I'm sure that the number of Muslim victims would be more than that since majority of them are living in those unsafe environments. Why is USA playing religion cards over a general insecurity in Nigeria? US government will eventually create more and new problem for us

If there is no religious persecution, what's happening in Southern Kaduna?


What about 1999?

What about 2006?

2011 and 2012?

If you ask me what happened in those years I mentioned, that means you have no business talking about persecution.

Let's start with if Supreme Court sentence you to death for defending yourself against a funlani herdsman.
We can then go to Southern Kaduna. Imagine that is your place of birth. You married and birthed children there. Then came some people from another divide just to steal, kill and destroy the good things and people you grew up with?
Re: US Congress Approves Sanctions On Nigeria Over Christian Killings by harrypetty(m): 9:15pm On Mar 14, 2025

You did not present any facts because the Fulani herdsmen you might want to allude the killings to are not targeting people based on faith. That's why I made reference to ritualists in South West and UGM in South East. They all operate in same way without segregating faith

The IDP camp relocation, the victims, fcs are you telling me they are all christians, no single Muslim inside with their family?

So how are christians being persecuted in Nigeria?
One way you can understand is to go to Southern Kaduna. Find out why there is clear demarcation of Christian communities versus Muslim communities. Take a detour to Jos and see the same situation in Barkin Ladi.
Ask yourself what can be the cause of the segregation.
Make a research and check whether your current position on the matter still holds in face of prevailing realities.

BTW, have you heard that some years ago, some young guys killed assailants and deliberately roasted them in broad daylight to scare the other divide from further attacks. It all sounds like gibberish until you are dealt the victim's card.

That person didn't hear over 60 Christians were kidnapped yesterday or so?

If we are to go by your write up,
The killings in the south east is done by Muslims right? Are the people killed in the south east not majorly Christians?
Killings in Borno, Yobe, Zamfara, Gombe are for Christians right? Where is Muslim dominated region sef? The same way you heard Christians killed every day is the way Muslims were killed every day. I count recall number of Islamic scholars Boko Haram has killed because they preached against them. You people should leave emotion aside. Both Christians and Muslims suffers these killings.
Southern Kaduna has majority Christian, but do you mean Muslims did not suffer killings there too. Similar in Benue and Jos.

Nigerian Christians are just hypcoirte and hide behind media advertabge. Moreover, the America is clearly known to be anti Muslim. So it's not new they will wet the emotions of Nigerian Christians.

That person didn't hear a reverend from was murdered few weeks ago?

That person has never heard of southern kaduna?

That person thinks fulani herdsmen are a tool for what?
Obama and Biden had used them to ruthlessly attempt to quench Christianity in Nigeria, but the enablers didn't know Obama was using them as a multiple tool - to also destabilize Nigeria and it's economy- the likes of buhari, el rufai and shetima were perfect executors for them.

Something that foreigners have come to terms with and now are voicing out because all the voices that have been screaming it Nigeria were being silenced and the govt has been pretentiously asking this same deceitful question "how has the killings been about Christians?".

Some Nigerians are always wont to say "why punish me fot committing a crime I am caught in, why have you not also caught the other criminals?" This is one of the dumbest arguments people who passed a secondary school put up.

Birnin-Gwari is a big LG, it's practically a dead LG due to killings. Giwa is partially uninhabitable due to these guys coming to kill them. Katsina is on fire, sokoto, Niger, Kaduna, Borno, Yobe, Adamawa, etc, are all on fire. These people get killed like chickens. Why's it that when a Christian is killed, we call it persecution, when the same idiots kill muslims, they're terrorists and you don't blame it on insecurity?
The idiots who do the killing are Muslims, that's the difference. If it has only being Muslims killing Muslims, Christians wouldn't be bothered. How many Northern Muslims are bothered about UGM in the southeast or skull miners in the southwest?

You guys from Benue reason some how.
You're not different from Ngenekwu whose people is killed daily in Benue by jihadists from the Sahel but he goes around searching for IPOB or Biafra threads.

Your people are slaughtered daily by jihadists from the Sahel but you go around searching for Hamas vs IDF threads.

Christians are being slaughtered in Syria today, since media won't carry it you won't know because you flow with MSM.

Your Benue people needs help in all over the IDP camp their.

Jihadists are responsible for the killings all over Nigeria and you know it.

You accused US of sponsoring terrorism,
Saudi Arabia is the biggest sponsor terrorists in the world but you no care.

The US House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee approves sanctions on Nigeria over the widespread killing of Christians and religious violence.

The United States House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Africa, has given President Donald Trump the green light to impose stringent sanctions on Nigeria in response to the widespread killing of Christians in the country.


The decision followed a congressional hearing on Wednesday, during which lawmakers condemned the Nigerian government for failing to protect Christian communities from escalating violence.

The committee also cited a 2024 report by the Observatory for Religious Freedom in Africa, which revealed that Nigerians accounted for 90 per cent of all Christians killed worldwide each year.

The report documented that between October 2019 and September 2023, a staggering 55,910 people were killed, while 21,000 others were abducted by terrorist groups operating in the region.

During the hearing, Committee Chairman Chris Smith, who highlighted the severity of the crisis, pointed to testimony from Bishop Wilfred Anagbe of the Diocese of Makurdi, Nigeria, as a viable witness.

He said: “One of our distinguished witnesses today—Bishop Wilfred Anagbe—travelled a long distance to be with us, and his testimony is both compelling and disturbing.

Yet they don't know that the fact that they are not doing anything about these CRIMINALS that are killing people for no reason,, it calls for serious sanctions on the so-called government for being docile and lazy.
