Nazgul:
Are Nigeria and China on the same economic level?

China is a global superpower with one of the strongest economies in the world. Their manufacturing, technology, infrastructure, and export strength are miles ahead of most countries, not just Nigeria.

In case you don't know, China has managed to industrialize rapidly over the last few decades, lifting hundreds of millions out of poverty and becoming the world’s factory. Meanwhile, Nigeria is still struggling with unreliable power supply, poor infrastructure, insecurity, unstable policies, corruption and heavy dependence on imports.

That’s why when such lists come out, it’s not the same thing. The “countries of concern” list is largely aimed at African and Middle Eastern nations. Regions often labeled as politically unstable or high-risk. China might appear there due to political tensions with the West, but economically, they’re still too powerful to be treated the same way.

Our realities are not alike. While this can cripple us, China has the systems, industrial capacity, and global partnerships to withstand it.
Sebi America imposed duty, how far did it affect us? Aside arms which they hardly accept to sell to us there is minimal trade between America and Nigeria. It was not so in the past. The truth is that Nigeria has almost fully aligned her economy to Asia. How many American companies are here? Trump just wants to be everywhere at the same time. They have discovered that their economic policies that are hurting others are not hurting us. Not that we are rich but high cost of their products and services have made us to turn to Asia. Besides they import little or no crude from us.

Is that the issue? People especially Christians in Nigeria are dying.
A lot of people have died in Nigeria. Muslims, Christians, Atheists, to now say that it is a Genocide against the Christians is devilish.

Do you remember when the CIA came with a Report that Nigeria will spilt by 2015? Google it and read.

To.make that come to pass, they covertly funded insurgents. Initially targeting Christians to provoke a reaction so that they attack Muslims.

When the Christians didn't react the way they projected, the Insurgents/Boko Haram turned on the Muslims, slaughter them in numbers in Mosques, Markets, Schools etc. And what did the Muslims do, they call out these people as not Muslims but you guys only laughed and jeered.

Until we see thru these things, we will keep going round in circles whole they profit from our collective misery.

Those are their views and not the reality on ground. Obama killed more Muslims alongside many other American Presidents.

He killed Gaddafi and messed up Libya. He thrashed Syria, Iraq and many other Muslim Lands. So, what are you saying?

You want them to flush out their business partners?
AmGreat1234:
Federal Government is playing politics with this statement. Instead of them to take advantage of Trump's concerns, align with the US Government to flush out all the bandits and insurgents. Unfortunately, Federal Government is claiming that nothing is happening in Nigeria. Our 'mumu' no too much?

But the US cannot do that under International Law. Since what is happening here does not concern her citizens or interests, they cannot hit anyone here. It will be a violation of International Law. They can only come if we invite them.

but nobody ought to be killed when we have a supposedly legitimate government, whose primary responsibility should be the protection of lives and properties of the citizens.
that Nigerians are killed across board doesn't undermined the genocide intents of the jihadidists terrorists.
that your governments refused to apprehend these jihadists terrorists and their evil sponsors, even when your government already have the lists of those terrorists sponsors, makes them look complicit.
Correct! Nigeria's government is complicit to the genocide

If a country is designated as such, wetin the US go fit do against them, except economic sanctions which is nothing special to so many countries? Or is it denial of visas? What will they do against China, North Korea, etc?

No be every country you can flex with.
But at least, let the world know that you called the black kettle, black instead of calling it white because you are now in government.

United State of America questioning Freedom of Religion?

The same United States that have killed more humans than any Nation on this planet presently?

The same United States that will lie, slander do all sorts for a regime change to get to your resources?

The same United States that actively, covertly and overtly fund genocide?
Who did they killed? Is Sadam Hussein and Gadaffi that were oppressing and suppressing some of their countries'men and sponsoring terrorists torrorists? Or are you one of the torrorists?

Their views are based on his promotion of the concept of islamophobia as well as his defence of Islamic extremism
He killed Gaddafi to "liberate" Libya not because he hates Muslims. He supported Arab spring

I really don't know why Muslims are attacking this accusation of Christian genocide

The statement specifically said "Islamic terrorist groups" are you guys defending Islamic terrorists or what cause I don't understand your grouse
One should attack it, because many Nigerians here are reading it as Muslims are killing Christians, which any one with a brain will know is untrue.

Unfortunately, when it comes to religious and tribal bigotry, brains are few.

They are not necessarily Muslims, they terrorists hiding under the guise of Islam to comit atrocities. They dont practice islam.i remember a victim saying they didnt even pray, talkless of 5 times a day. That is why they also bomb mosques and kidnap Muslims.

P. S. I am not a Muslim, I am just someone who knows its not so black and white. Let's be careful that our inherent biases don't blind us to realities.
You are very gifted with a brain. And you use it well.

Thank you. I am an atheist.

How can I possibly mean Christians are not being killed in the North?

I've rephrased what you said because it is debatable that those doing the killings are Muslims.

See here https://www.nairaland.com/8552048/us-state-departments-designated-countries/3#137322936

My point is, more Muslims are being killed in the North than Christians, by terrorists who are not Muslims.

Have you seen Muslims killing Christians in the South of Nigeria?

Cry you a river on top wetin?

Funny you, if I may ask, why didn't OBJ, Yar'dua, Jonathan, Buhari and Tinubu not arrest these people?

Also, note that Saudi Arabia is also a country of concern yet your Almighty America have her Army at the ready to defend that same country from both internal and external aggression yet put the country on a watch list?


Use your brain man!
Keep deluding yourself..a whole Saudi Arabia home of Islam how many times did you hear them massacre Christians there?you must be a joker to compare Nigeria with such countries, same Saudi Arabia that rejected your Islamist terrorist and exposed their financiers to your government and instead of arrest them,your government decides to hide the names and pamper the terrorist and even enable them to continue to the extent of reintegrating them into the military?you dare put Saudi in comparison to this terrorist loving country Nigeria?..In the time of Yar’Adua,Obj the insurgency and Security situation of this country was NOT as bad as it is NOW..

The only reason that dead clueless Buhari escaped the wrath of the ALMIGHTY AMERICA was because Donald Trump was not the president in his second tenure because even in his first tenure when the old clueless thing went to see Trump and Trump called him the most lifeless man he had ever met,Trump asked him Why are you killing Christians in Nigeria.. Anyway if una like make una no advice Tinubu to do the needful until him collect from America and matter over am.

Go to Twitter,suddenly the Armed forces of Nigeria are putting out press statements every 30minutes of successful killings of Terrorist🤣🤣,so they can suddenly start killing them?they couldn’t do that before like their predecessors in the past government because of some reasons best known to you and them like you portray, but suddenly after the ALMIGHTY AMERICA ROARED they suddenly started killing the terrorist🤣🤣🤣,you guys are jokers..

You mockingly refer to the US as our Almighty America as if they are not, yet you cower in fear when they roar and put their gaze in your direction. Oga USA like it or not is ALMIGHTY and il advice you and your likes to advice Tinubu o before matter over am.

Obviously we have a case of a mental breakdown with this response of yours.

Saudi Arabia is on the list of "Country of concern" by Trump, yet Trump US Army will defend that country from both internal and external aggression. What does that tell you if you have any thinking capability at all?

Pakistan is on that list yet the Americans are wooing them to leave China and deal with them?

Don't you guys see beyond your noses?

What exactly is your point?what’s our business with America wooing Pakistan from China and all you stated up there?how does that relate to this??Seems you have a problem with comprehension when you read,because you keep comparing your country to countries who DO NOT KPAI CHRISTIANS, key word is KPAI CHRISTIANS what’s hard to understand there?when your country stops the Christian genocide then you can maybe compare them. Like I said before keep deluding yourself rather than advice your likes to advice Tinubu to do the needful before he collect Almighty American koboko.

am done bantering you cos it is a known fact that APC supporters are incapable of using their brain so you will NEVER understand the whole point that’s why you keep bringing in Saudi,China etc when you are suppose to address the topic on ground of Christian genocide enabled by your government.

It doesn't have to get to me or my loved ones to know the evil in extremism.

There are extremists in every calling. There are Muslims extremists, Christians extremists.

It is the responsibility of the Government to go after them and dealt them a death blow.

What the United States is doing is just whipping up sentiments to some gain know only to them.
How many times have the government dealt with these Islamist bandits?
A government that integrate bandits and boko haram in his arm forces is a culpable one.
Bandits can move on bike in hundreds from one community or state to another without single arrest.
Bandits/kidnappers can post video of their atrocities on the internet with no consequences, but insult the president and you will be located within 24 hours. It shows that the government and this people have something in common and such a government cannot protect you.
Anybody crying because Trump said he wants to come and destroy those murderer Islamist is a terrorist.
