LegendHero:Funny enough, we've heard stories of our military being compromised and aiding these bandits, how sure are we that whatever support the FG gets won't find it's way to the bandits to do more damage? |

LegendHero:The first designation was quickly removed by Biden then. Forget about whether bandits kill both christians and Muslims. Bandits re Muslims, no single christian among them. Fulanis herdsmen are Muslims, no single christian among them, many Islamic terrorists operating in Nigeria are Muslims, no single christian among them. It is Muslims that marry four wives with plenty children in poverty being recruitment feeds for banditry, militant Fullani herdsmen and Islamic terrorists. How can you now expect christians to carry problem you created more than you? Those that are peaceful Muslims are hypocrites, they laugh and justify terrorist killings or burning of churches in the secret, and come with propagandas to defend terrorists in the public. For how long will christians continue to suffer from the problems islam created for 72 virgins reward? Instead of peaceful Muslim leaders to come together and resolve these problems once and for all, they only keep busy insulting and fighting themselves online for one reason or the other. Christians are not suppose to be the receiver of the problems you created without making attempt to seek solution. Islamic terrorists are not decreasing, but increasing in Nigeria and in the world over. For how long are christians going to fold their hands? Christian as the most powerful religion on earth, most populous, richest religion and most educated follow after peace with every humanity, offer freedom to every humanity to the extent many Muslims prefer christian countries then Islamic countries. Unfortunately, it is the opposite in Islamic countries with rules and rules to restrict christians. Christians can't preach, christians can't carry bible, Christians can't be free to worship etc in Islamic countries., yet; soldiers of Allah will still go to their churches and bomb them. Don't come here to mention they kill christians and kill Muslim too. Are christians suppose to be killed at all when they never created the problem in the first place? Religion that creates the problem should be the receiver if they can't proffer solution |

LegendHero:Obi and IPOB and Ibos and Biafra are one and the same. By O’tega Ogra A proscribed terrorist organisation in Nigeria has learnt to speak fluent Washington. Its grammar is lobbying. Its vocabulary is faith. At the centre of this story is a firm once known for its quiet presence in Washington’s political corridors. Moran Global Strategies, led by former United States congressman Jim Moran, is now registered under the Foreign Agents Registration Act to represent the Biafra Republic Government in Exile. Nigerian courts recognise that so-called government as the external arm of the Indigenous People of Biafra, a group declared a terrorist organisation in 2017 and reaffirmed by the Court of Appeal in 2025. The public filing sounds benign. It describes the contract as “advocacy on human rights and political recognition matters in Nigeria.” But the language conceals the truth. Behind the careful wording lies a movement responsible for attacks on civilians, police and clergy across Nigeria’s southeast. This is not diplomacy. It is deceit performed in a three-piece suit. The stage is Washington, the audience is global, and the script is written in the ink of self-interest. In October 2025, Authority Newspaper in Abuja reported that Simon Nkere, the self-styled prime minister of this phantom government, met Senator Ted Cruz and other lawmakers to promote the claim of a “Christian genocide” in Nigeria. Neither Nkere nor Cruz has denied the account. A parallel investigation by Paris-based Africa Intelligence confirmed that Moran’s firm had been hired to drive the same message through Washington. What began as lobbying now looks like laundering. Moran Global Strategies, which has represented defence contractors such as GE Aerospace, General Dynamics, and Robinson Helicopter, also lists clients that include the Eritrean Blue Revolution Front and South Sudan’s National Salvation Group, both accused of violent insurgency. A firm trusted with national security contracts now carries the brief of proscribed and armed groups. The moral contradiction could not be starker. It seems morality in Washington now bends like a weather vane – whichever way the wind of profit blows, principle politely steps aside. In May 2025 a court in Finland convicted Simon Ekpa, one of the loudest voices of the same network, of terrorism offences for orchestrating attacks in Nigeria from his base in Lahti. The conviction proved what security agencies had long warned. The supposed government in exile is not a political movement. It is an operational arm of an organisation that uses faith as camouflage and propaganda as its main export. Moran Global Strategies should now clarify whether it continues to represent this network and how such work aligns with United States law and corporate ethics. Senator Cruz’s office should also explain the meetings Nkere described and whether any due diligence was carried out on the source of those claims. Until they do, the record stands. The filings, the court judgments and the public admissions remain unchallenged. A pattern has emerged. Insurgents and governments, rebels and corporations, all rent the same credibility under one roof. We are told that the world runs on rules. But these rules change depending on who breaks them and where the victims live. If a United States senator or a European parliamentarian had met representatives of ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Hamas or the PKK under similar circumstances, that contact would almost certainly qualify as material support for terrorism under US or EU statutes. When it involves Africa, the same behaviour is rebranded as advocacy. The double standard corrodes trust and teaches extremists how to turn sympathy into strategy. Because when lobbying becomes laundering, truth, faith and reputation burn in the same fire.

CzarChris:You will always have corruption and the military is not left out. Some of our soldiers are selling intel to terrorists and some of the generals are siphoning money meant to use to probe the ongoing crusade against bandits/terrorists. As you remove them, more come in and continue the corrupt acts just as you have in the civil service and politicians. To solve this menace, Nigeria needs to invest massively in security and manpower. Currently we don’t have that capability and finance for this. Even if we go the local policing route, you still need funding to stand a capable police force considering our size and forest area. If a bandit strike in a remote village, it will take some coupe of hours for military to deploy there, if your supply chain and response is this limited, it’s going to be heard to curb the guerrilla attacks. We can only protect the main cities easily but remote villages and forgotten places remain largely ungoverned in the real sense. |

casualobserver:Well you have your sources and I will still hold on to mine too. We can agree to disagree. This is 2014 when APC amplified Christian genocide rhetorics to discredit Jonathan government. There is nothing different now from what Obidients are doing that APC never did. The difference is that this time around, that traction will will wane before the next election and there is little opposition will hold on to. Also, Tinubu already consolidated the opposition into one and you don’t actually have people with power and clout electoral wise that can jump on this to remove Asiwaju through the ballot. What will be Obi gain? Will this make Northern Muslims to vote against Tinubu for Obi? Will this make Yoruba Christian vote against Tinubu? Even the Northern Christians, the tide has changed a bit from 2023, except if they want to play God will they say Tinubu is anti-christain. So how exactly will Obi benefit from this?

Truth be told I think President Trump has sinster motives. Yes they are killings in Nigeria but it is not religious. I think the motive is far deeper. Americans has had government shutdown for 31days now yet the President of America is more interested in Nigeria. In most cities in America at least 5-12 people are shot and killed every week, infact recent data shows that homicide rate in united state of America is 270 to 300 weekly! (1 person every 31mintes) yet President Trump is more interested in Nigeria killings. The question is what does the President Trump want from Nigeria? The same America that collaborated with NATO and claimed Gaddafi is a "dictator" and they invaded Libya at the time the country was growing exponentially in human and capital development. Today Libya is in ruins. They stole from Libya and destroy the country. The former Chief of Defence, General Chris Musa, once asked who are the sponsors of this terrorist in Nigeria? The answer came from a United States senator that reveals it was USAID of America funding boko haram and the same Trump has been silent |

God bless President Trump, he should threaten severe economic sanctions on this clowns in aso rock and you will see how your government will sit up and clamp down on the insecurity bedeviling Nigerians both Christians and Muslims that you will be wondering why not all this time. This is not Iran or North Korea, this leaders here can never give up their material comfort or US visa and have zero patriotism. So Mr president a strong message of severe economic sanctions on the oil sector and telling them that friendly Western countries will also impose secondary sanctions, will make you go down in history as having saved millions of innocent Nigerians lives both Christians and Muslims. |

LegendHero:Don't worry about whatever decision that Trump would take to end the genocide in the country , he would do it his own way and it will be marvelous in our eyes. The trump of 2020 is not the same trump of 2025. He's serious and whatever he says is what he will do this time. We want him to do things his way and put an end of the terrorists and there sponsors once and for all . |

pharmagba:Let trump intervene and put a stop to the senseless killing in the country. You're asking that what is Trump's motive in this, please i want to ask, what is the APC government motive for allowing this genocide to go on for too long? If the APC government can't stop the killings, then let trump help us stop the killings in whatever ways he consider necessary to stop the senseless killings. |

I remember back then when I was still in the north and in a vigil in the middle of the night, we started hearing sounds of stones on the zinc roof of the church. Our pastor paused, and whole congregation went silent as the rain of stones continues to increasingly hit the churchs roof and at the same time hearing chants of "Allahu Akbar" outside the church. All of us were shivering, especially children. God so good, my father and some other elders in the church who could fluently speak hausa language boldly stepped outside to engage them. I was too little and did not fully know how they were calmed down. But we couldn't continue with the service that night. Other churches in the town were not lucky as we were. They got injured. This happened around early 2000s and it is not even as worse as it is today but the experience is life threatening. |

LagosOrigin:Let's not be naive. Americans don't do anything for nothing Even on the Ukraine- Russian war, they ensured they signed to exploit Ukraine rare mineral before they agreed to even negotiate with Putin. For Isreal - Iran war they wanted glory and recognition in the international community. Same with Isreal - Hamas. The question is the same America where they are killings of over 300 people weekly is concerned about Nigeria. What do they want? Or rather what are we not giving them? Trump is a negotiator and interest is always overlay |

If the West ever starts propaganda on a country, it means that country is doing something right that is detrimental to their profit and hold. Someone should tell these Caucasians that you can’t spin stories to address a nation like Nigeria! We far ahead of that after learning from past actions of colonialism and present genocide happening right infront of all. It’s amusing that a country with more deaths due to the incompetence of the government, is accusing another country? Someone needs to STFU! |

casualobserver:Thanks a million times for your comment, we Nigerians are a naive lots, do any white man loves any black man wholeheartedly if they don't stand to benefit? Isn't it an open secret now that Fronce which is a Christian nation the one that created and funded boko haram that have massacred millions? Why don't the US lay out that fact to us and the world about France activities? Who illegally toppled Ghadafi that created the instability and the mess we have starting from the horn of Africa and that has spread to Nigeria today, a lot of us in this currently hailing this designation are ignoramuses because factually more Muslims have been killed than Christians, so the solutions therefore should be holistic. |

Send support to a government that is not ready to solve his own problem? !!!, what move have they made personally. there are over 5milion cctv camera in UK over 50 million in USA , China cctv camera is unlimited... How many does the government have to start with ?, I know your argument will be cctv camera won't work, but why not digitalize and secure all the streets first abi money no dey to buy cameras? Why not create a new security polices whose work is primarily to monitor cctv cameras across the country on a shift , lets see if bandit will break all cameras at once and lets see if where they are running to , camera no dey there? Simple road government no do , how do you explain that Abuja has some10 lanes of roads and Benin major road to all most all part of the country is a deep hole, so while traveling on a bad high way , why won't bandits take advantage of the bad roads to kidnap them since they know they can't maintain some certain speeds because of the road?. Barricades every were on high way , which country in the world have you seen such barricades and these are opportunities that these bandits use to kidnap people , you will see barricades without police or military guys , you just have to slow down and pass through this obstacles on the road. Why will police put barricades on the high way just to extort people in the day time and still leave it there at night when they close from work knowing fully well that harmed rubbers can take advantage of these. So before you ask for support from usa , what has the government done personally to stop this. If they tell you government are being these bad things happening in these country , some of you think its a lie and I can understand because its counterintuitive to think the government of a country would do this to his own people, but sorry that's the reality. Go to cross rivers state, i have a friend in this state who is a top police officer, he had told me a top secret 5days ago that the governor of cross rivers pays head of each occultic members 10millions naira monthly to share among his members and these my friend even confirmed that one of his colleagues is a beneficially of this money every month... which means even police offers are cult members . How do you explain this to a 7 year old, and would you say Tinubu doesn't know about this with all the highly paid top security officers around him? So the question is, how do you want USA to support a country whose government are the ones behind the indulgency What steps have they taken to get the support of USA , the other day we saw video of military guys taking pictures with bandits LegendHero: |

For those forming woke or deliberately spinning the narrative to cover atrocities committed in the name of religion in Nigeria, I have a question for you. Why has there not been a single conviction for murdering Christians in Northern Nigeria, before the issue escalated to banditry and terrorism that is now consuming the region? |
