Faithful007:
Dangote's refinery is in Lagos, most oil reserves are in the south. If you don't understand the political divides in Nigeria and the area of concern where POTUS remarks affects, maybe you should sit it out.

The best thing is for the Nigerian government to work with POTUS administration to improve the security of lives in those affected areas. Trying to play alliance with Russia will not work cause Nigeria is not even a united country. With the level of support POTUS statements have in the south, US could easily break up Nigeria if it things got so bad.

Work with the POTUS how?

Work with the POTUS how?

The way the Somalian government is doing.

Trump’s outburst about a ‘Christian genocide’ in Nigeria is as dangerous as it is absurd

A combination of ignorance and emotional manipulation resurfaced this weekend when US President Donald Trump erupted on social media, threatening a ‘fast, vicious and sweet’ military invasion of Nigeria to stop a supposed genocide against Christians.

Two years ago, at a dinner in Washington for Africa “experts” to brief an incoming congressman on the continent, the newly elected legislator began his contribution by declaring that one of Africa’s most urgent crises was a “Christian genocide” in Nigeria. When asked to elaborate, he cited a single name — Nnamdi Kanu — as an example of a persecuted Christian languishing in prison.

The table fell silent when someone gently explained that Kanu was not a pastor or missionary but a Biafran secessionist leader, jailed for fomenting rebellion and inciting violence, not for his faith.

That same combination of ignorance and emotional manipulation resurfaced this weekend when US President Donald Trump erupted on social media, threatening a “fast, vicious and sweet” military invasion of Nigeria to stop a supposed genocide against Christians. The statement was as dangerous as it was absurd.

If Trump had paused to consult the US military, which has spent years partnering quietly with Nigerian forces against Boko Haram and other insurgents, he might have learned that Nigeria’s conflicts are real — but they are not religious wars.

It is astonishing that the United States spends billions of dollars annually on intelligence gathering, yet its political leaders can still be so profoundly misinformed about Africa’s most populous country. Yes, Christians in parts of Nigeria have suffered horrific violence from extremists. But so too have Muslims, often in even greater numbers. In Borno, Yobe and Adamawa — the heart of the Boko Haram insurgency — most victims have been Muslim civilians murdered for rejecting the group’s nihilistic ideology.

Trump’s eruption is the culmination of a yearslong lobbying campaign in Washington by Biafran separatists, who have cleverly repackaged their secessionist grievance as a struggle to save “persecuted Christians”. Since 2019, Biafran groups have declared more than a million dollars on lobbying in Washington, through Mercury Public Affairs, BW Global Group and Daniel Goldin.

They have found a receptive audience among Christian nationalists in the US, who see Nigeria through the prism of their own culture wars. Senator Ted Cruz has floated legislation invoking religious persecution. Congressman Riley Moore has made it a personal crusade. Even the comedian Bill Maher got in on the act, scolding the media for ignoring it.


The strategy is familiar. It echoes the “white genocide” narrative promoted by far-right activists about Afrikaner farmers — a storyline that the Trump administration once enthusiastically adopted before quietly erasing it from the discourse.

As with some Afrikaners, many Nigerian Igbos feel that they are the victims of discrimination, second-class citizens in a country that has never quite healed the wounds of the Biafran civil war of 1967 to 1970.
Emotional triggers

In Washington, the campaign deploys the same emotional triggers: a grain of truth wrapped in distortion, amplified through the machinery of US grievance politics.

That grain of truth begins with the Boko Haram war, launched in 2009 in northeastern Nigeria, which has killed tens of thousands across faith lines. It extends to the Middle Belt, where Muslim and Christian farming communities have clashed violently, and to the recurring conflicts between Fulani herders and largely Christian agriculturalists. These are complex, overlapping crises — rooted in land scarcity, climate stress and state weakness — not a simple religious persecution. Much of the violence is simple banditry and criminality.

To reduce it to “Christian genocide” is not just inaccurate. It’s dangerous.

Nigeria is far from perfect, and its government has often handled these conflicts clumsily or brutally. But it is also a country of extraordinary coexistence: roughly half Christian, half Muslim, and among the world’s most religiously integrated societies. Its current president, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is a Muslim. His wife, Oluremi Tinubu, is a Christian pastor. Nigeria’s Cabinet, parliament and cities are filled with people who cross those supposed lines every day without bloodshed.

The idea that Abuja is colluding in the persecution of Christians is as false as it is incendiary.

If Trump truly cared about Nigerian lives, he might note that the Tinubu government has been fighting, not aiding, the extremists — often with US logistical and intelligence support. The Pentagon, better than anyone, knows that a military intervention in Nigeria would not be swift or clean. It would be catastrophic, plunging West Africa’s fragile equilibrium into chaos at the very moment when Russian forces — now rebranded as the “Africa Corps” — are being pushed back in the Sahelian states, the epicentre of the Jihadist insurgencies.

Stoking religious hysteria from afar risks achieving what Boko Haram and the Islamic State in West Africa could not: turning Nigeria’s diversity into its undoing.

There is a legitimate role for international support in protecting vulnerable communities, helping Nigeria guard its borders, strengthening peacekeeping and deploying sophisticated technology to prevent violence. As Nigerian commentators have pointed out, the international community needs to close ranks in identifying, sanctioning and prosecuting not just the active participants but the financial sponsors and collaborators with those who are responsible.

The world needs partnership, not performative threats of invasion.

It needs steady diplomacy, not social-media outbursts dressed up as moral crusades.

Trump’s outburst exposes more than his ignorance of Africa. It reveals how easily US domestic politics can be weaponised to distort African realities. The real victims of that distortion are not in Washington’s think tanks or on cable news. They are the Nigerians — Muslim and Christian alike — who must live with the consequences. DM

Small hat people were having a highly guarded meeting in Sandton yesterday (Sunday). Pictures prohibited. I wonder what they're planning behind closed doors, just days before the G20 summit.

But it is also a country of extraordinary coexistence: roughly half Christian, half Muslim, and among the world’s most religiously integrated societies.


This is how you know this dude has zero idea of what he’s talking about.

Literally every coastal West African country is doing way better than Nigeria in religious coexistence.

Benin Republic

Togo

Ghana

Sierra Leone

Ivory Coast

Senegal


Just spitting Ignorant liberal buzzwords from his beach house bubble outside reality. One would almost think only Nigeria has two religions in west Africa.

It's a symptom of the very Nigerian lax mindset towards the sanctity of life. Every other thing suckles from that cursed fount

Trump’s outburst about a ‘Christian genocide’ in Nigeria is as dangerous as it is absurd

A combination of ignorance and emotional manipulation resurfaced this weekend when US President Donald Trump erupted on social media, threatening a ‘fast, vicious and sweet’ military invasion of Nigeria to stop a supposed genocide against Christians.

Trump and Rubio never mentioned the word Genocide. They never mentioned Boko Haram. They never mentioned IS. They are talking of a particular different set of people. The key word there was Radical Islamists and Fulani ethnic militias. It is selective sympathy but there’s fact to it.

I once mentioned to you that America’s right wing is more religious/Neo conservative than racist but you laughed it off with scorn. If you understood that you will know why this is happening. The racist right may be louder but Americas religious right is usually more influential over the government and get what they want more often than the racist right.

Another mistake uninformed left make over and over again is thinking that everything has to do with neo colonialism, oil and resource exploitation. Although there could be elements of it, conflicts also can have a powerful human factor which is sentiment. Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine is fueled by pure sentiment. The Israel Gaza conflict is another example.

The issue is that America’s religious/Neo conservative right is beginning to sympathize with some minority communities in Nigeria’s north especially north central and are pushing it at the executive level. It is similar to what happened in 2014 when executions of kurds and minorities by IS started to show up on the internet.

Lastly let demystify that dumb story that America hates Nigeria’s refinery. That’s a comedic statement cause US sweet oil production is rising and needs more refineries abroad. It is cheaper for the US to refine abroad than at home.

Dangote’s refinery is processing mostly U.S. crude for re export. In fact US needs more refineries in Nigeria if possible. I won’t be surprised if Dangote starts building another one soon.

The myth of Christian genocide

Far-right and pro-Israel actors are recasting Nigeria’s insecurity as sectarian extermination to distract from Palestine.

As usual, local reactions diverged about Mr. Shettima’s address at the General Assembly with conscientious Nigerians warmly welcoming the country’s diplomatic posture on the international stage despite its domestic challenges. After all, Mr. Shettima did not mince words when he admitted that Nigeria has had “a long and difficult struggle with violent extremism” and a culture of insurgency. His critics also had their piece, highlighting that Mr. Shettima’s comment on the international scene does not adequately reflect the truth of his government under which citizens endure an unrelenting campaign of terror that leaves vulnerable groups including minority ethnic groups and Christian communities particularly exposed while the wider populace cowers under a pall of insecurity.

But closely trailing local reactions was a carefully engineered wave of falsified international outrage on claims of a systematic killing of Christians amounting to a genocide in Nigeria. Various far-right opinion shapers on social media including Christo-Zionist Eyal Yakoby, pivoted into claims of a Christian genocide in Nigeria, pushing this narrative with the same fervor with which far-right groups have recurrently wheeled out the similarly trumped-up narrative of “white genocide” in South Africa. Other voices, including Zionist US Senator Ted Cruz have sponsored this narrative. It has been retweeted by thousands of X users, 100,000 and more bots, and ranked high in views by the X algorithm. In a similar negative light, talk show host Bill Maher has lent his voice to Israel’s propaganda goals, reiterating lurid claims—since debunked by leading newspapers—of rapes, beheadings, and babies burned alive on October 7. Maher insists he has “seen the videos,” but like every other promoter of this narrative, he has provided no shred of evidence—because it is a lie.

In addition to their newly found affection for the suffering Christians in Nigeria, a curious commonality between these commentators, however, is their unalloyed loyalty to Israel. The cynicism of these actors is barely concealed. The point is evidently to co-opt and misrepresent conversations and incidents happening in other countries as mere tools of furthering their own strategic information and propaganda goals.

This is not to deny heart-wrenching violence that continues to shape daily existence in parts of Nigeria. News agencies continue to report devastating attacks against several communities, Christian and Muslim, with little or no attention by both state and non-state authority figures within and beyond Nigeria. Even Christian religious leaders such as Pastor Enoch Adeboye of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) and his peers have come under fire for persistent neglect of the plight of Christians who face killings and displacement in their communities while they hobnob with politicians whose abysmal incompetence and dereliction of duty is directly responsible for the mishaps the parishioners face. This “call-out” is somewhat reflective of the loose grip of the state on its critical responsibilities to the citizenry in Nigeria, leaving them to depend on religion-based, or communally formed power structures or strongmen in the representation of their interests and guarantee of basic dignity of life and security. This features in our social conversation from time to time and should not be confused with a growing number of Christian movements resisting a systematic “genocide” of its adherents.

Careless US charges of Nigerian genocide are disingenuous and alarmist

To conflate Nigeria’s complex troubles caused by a plethora of issues is a grotesque distortion of realities on the ground. Christians, Muslims and folk who don’t care about either have been caught up in the violence and are, for the most part, helpless victims.

Apart from tariffs, another word that the Trump presidency is fond of is genocide.

First, it was South Africa. During President Cyril Ramaphosa’s visit to the White House last May, President Donald Trump played a video suggesting that white South Africans were under genocidal attack. It was a fake video, of course, but Ramaphosa couldn’t convince Trump.

Instead of looking at Gaza, where the world has serious concerns about genocide, Trump’s fellow Republicans have now turned their attention to Nigeria, requesting Congress to call out the Nigerian government on charges of genocide against Christians.

It’s not just the calculated mischief that should cause Nigerians to worry; it’s the fact that the most prominent promoters of this deadly prank are non-Nigerians. Senator Ted Cruz, or former Mayor of Blanco, Texas, Mike Arnold, are not the first or second among a crop of doom-casters for whom the continued existence of this multifarious country remains an aberration they must discourage.
Origins of the ‘genocide’ story

Cruz may have drawn inspiration from the Armageddon foretold by former US ambassador to Nigeria, John Campbell, who, based on a CIA report in 2005, predicted the potential collapse of Nigeria in 2015 from ethnic and sectarian tensions.

Although it is 2025, ten years after Campbell, Cruz, and some hirelings from within Nigeria still suggest that Nigeria may yet collapse, only this time, the narrative is more sinister.

It is no surprise that the current campaign coincided with Nigeria’s position, along with 142 other countries at the UN General Assembly in September, for the recognition of the sovereign state of Palestine and the immediate cessation of the war in Gaza.

Those who originated the calumny did not just hurl “genocide” from the furnace of mischief; they thrust it at the very heart of Nigeria’s biggest fault line – religion. The roughly 50-50 Christian-Muslim population in Nigeria means that when the Church and the Mosque are up in arms, common sense is the first casualty.
Enablers of Sahelian misery

Once religion is at issue, passions, especially base ones, take over the streets and logic or moderation flees. This is the bait Cruz, Arnold and some other campaigners in the US Senate are casting, blatantly and blithely, oversimplifying the complex mix of terrorism, banditry, insurgency, criminality and environmental challenges/climatic conditions which are at the core of Nigeria’s security problems.

In doing so, they have conveniently ignored the fact that a significant part of the security problem in the Sahel today is rooted in the destabilisation the US caused when it violently overthrew Muammar Gaddafi in Libya and opened the floodgates for cheap and easy arms to flood sub-Saharan Africa.

Cruz is right and wrong

Cruz and others are right to express their concern about the death toll from the violence caused by insurgency-related attacks and banditry, which has claimed thousands of lives and left an estimated 2.3 million displaced. To describe the attacks in Nigeria as a genocidal assault on Christians, however, is like classifying the regrettable rise in homicidal incidents in the US as a genocidal attack on blacks and minorities. It’s like comparing apples and oranges.

As Cruz knows, there are more than 11,000 firearm shooting deaths in the US every year, excluding suicides, and tens of thousands of nonfatal injuries. Mass shootings numbered in the thousands over this decade, with several hundred school shootings contributing significantly to the toll. Unfortunately, blacks and minorities are the largest victims of these homicides.
Homicide v genocide

According to data from sources like the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Gun Violence Archive (GVA), “In the last 10 years (2015-2025), gun violence in the United States has remained a severe public health and safety crisis with tens of thousands of deaths and hundreds of thousands of injuries annually.

“In 2023, there were about 46,728 firearm-related deaths in the US, with suicides accounting for around 58% (about 27,300 deaths) and homicides accounting for about 38% (roughly 17,927 deaths).

“The national firearm death rate rose from about 10.3 per 100,000 people in 1999 to 14.0 per 100,000 by 2023.”

These statistics are alarming because every life matters. Yet, they cannot, by the wildest stretch of Cruzian definition, be classified as genocide, even though the victims are mainly blacks and minorities.
Not what they think

Murderous bandits have killed Nigerian Christians, just as they have killed Muslims and non-believers. A 2025 study of the sociology of banditry by Peer Schouten and Barnett James of the Danish Institute of International Studies distinguishes banditry from jihadism. Bandit networks operate with little ideological or religious ambition. They are roaming predators seeking authority, power and influence.

Cruz’s Republican Party has lived in denial of the mass killing of women, children and civilians in Gaza – a war fuelled by American arms and backed by the American state for all of two years. But it is for Nigeria that a label must be made.

There has been intractable sectarian violence across all the regions of Nigeria. But none of it qualifies as a genocidal campaign by one religion against another, despite reprisal attacks in many instances. All the supporting or opposing narratives from either religious side are, for the most part, reflexive self-defence – driven more by opportunism and identity politics.

All victims

The insurgency in the Northeast, which has lasted since 2009, has raged in predominantly Muslim parts of the country and has killed and displaced more Muslims in as many years. The banditry in the Northwest is not any different, with significantly the same demographics in casualties, damage and destruction.

The mutation and spread of these armed groups have been significantly linked to mineral theft and exploitation sponsored by multinational conglomerates and Western powers, which prop up shadow states and shadow rulers – as amply documented by British investigative journalist Tom Burgis in his book, The Looting Machine.

The complex farmer/herder clashes in the central region of Nigeria owe their persistence to a great extent to government failure, changing climatic conditions and criminality, rather than religion.

Separatist groups in the Southeast of Nigeria are historical and derive from the Nigerian civil war, which ended more than 50 years ago. The war had nothing whatsoever to do with religion, other than the sheer accident of fate, fuelled by the ghastly legacy of British colonial rule.
Remember Gaza

The frightful and horrendous incidents in Rwanda (1994), Bosnia and Herzegovina (1992-95), the Nazi Holocaust (1941-45) and the ongoing case in Gaza are in no way a reflection of what is happening in Africa’s most important country.

To conflate Nigeria’s complex troubles caused by a plethora of issues, confrontations and their blowouts as genocide is disingenuous and alarmist. It’s a grotesque distortion of realities on the ground. Christians, Muslims and folks who don’t care about either have been caught up in the violence and are, for the most part, helpless victims.

Interestingly, sensational narratives like Cruz’s become amplified whenever Nigeria approaches an election. It might not be a bad idea also to remind Cruz of US gun violence – and Gaza. DM

Lurker4Long:

You simply lack the intelligence to see beyond your own ideological bias. Trump and Rubio did not even use the word genocide.

Turkey and Iran support Palestine in the strongest of ways. I guess they must also be after the trillion dollar oil and mineral reserves in Gaza.

The Nigerian Army has deployed the T-55 MBT in COIN ops.

In October, a terrorist attempt to force their way into Kukawa Town using a VBIED was stopped. Troops had engaged the VBIED with RPGs, which bounced off its armoured surface.

The VBIED was then destroyed by a T-55 tank.

The myth of Christian genocide

I don't care about the politick of the US but I reject this dismissal.

Asides that my church since I was a schoolboy has always had to take care of orphaned children of missionaries as well as their wives.
I also did missionary work in the middle belt of my country in 2021 so I know firsthand some of these things.

There is no defence for my government. These same party cried exactly the same thing when Jonathan was in government.

Let no one conflate the killings in the middle belt which has majority of its victims to be Christians, with the killings in the north West with majority of its victims as Muslims.

Both are happening and I agree they should equally be brought to light. I'm grateful at least that in trying to counter (or balance) the narrative the erstwhile suppressed [by the elites of the same people] reality of the NW is being exposed.

This is what you get when the daughter of the president "crowns " herself "iyaloja general of Nigeria" and extorts money from market women.

Tinubu's greed and tribalism are the USA's greatest weapons against Nigeria.
All the USA needs to successfully invade Nigeria is 2000 soldiers, some missiles and drones, within Nigeria the USA could recruit a million soldiers to fight alongside the USA marines.

More info emerging on Armscor stuffing up the border patrol procurement! I really thought the final choice would be either Paramount or DCD, with ICP or SVI joining them in the final 3 shortlist.

All apparently not well with new SA Army border patrol APC tender
Hattingh and party researchers investigated the project, reaching the conclusion that the evaluation process for the new APCs was compromised. This was because, among others, field trials meant to verify vehicle performance were “cancelled without explanation”.

“Several local defence companies, including Paramount, SVI and DCD Protected Mobility, had already deployed their vehicles for testing when the process was abruptly halted. The eventual winner, Milkor SA, did not participate in the trials and has only limited experience in armoured vehicle production. Aside from a small sale of five vehicles to Namibia, the company has no operational record.

“It is even more concerning that Milkor’s vehicle has not undergone comparative land mine blast testing — a basic requirement for mine resistant troop carriers. Without such tests, there is no evidence that the vehicles meet the protection standards needed to keep SANDF members safe during deployment. Despite this, Armscor has approved the project and awarded Milkor a contract worth half a billion rand,” he said in a statement.

Also, as I stated the USA could recruit a million soldiers inside Nigeria itself to do the invasion for the USA.

Absolutely right!

With the way the country is, in theory, it is.very easy for any foreign power to destroy Nigeria. And like you said, recruiting and army of Nigerians to do the breakdown without you bringing down their foreign troops is very very easy especially with the way we hate each other.

If US wants to deal with a Muslim-led Federal government like the one we have now, or the one led by a 'core' norther, just incite the christians especially those of them from pentecostal/evangelical churches like Winners, Dunamis and all the churches whose menbers listen to Oyedepo and Adeboye. And as we may have it, although they are not the majority of Christians, their number is huge enough to recruit at least 2million boots. What's more, these people are Islamophobic and actually wish there is a crusade again. I HAVE ACTUALLY HAD ONE TELL ME THAT! Such is the level of hatred along religious line in Nigeria.

I went to see a friend of mine in his room at the university and he is one of those campus ''daddies'', if you know what I mean; and I was singing Maher Zain's song the one about Allhamdulillah....all praises to Allah.... and he gave a reaction that reaction that indicates a strong dislike and discomfort to hearing that. That shows you how deep islamophobia exists in that branch of Christianity in Nigeria.

And if it is a Christian-led Federal Government especially when it is from the south, either Yoruba or Niger-Delta or God forbid, an Igbo led one, recruiting 10million unwashed muslims northerners to bring down the government, will be as easy as anything for a foreign power. I mean, it has happened before: in the 2015 election, tthe US secretary of State, John Kerry came to Nigeria, he boycotted Aso Rock as headed straight to Sokoto to see the Sultan. The result? Jonatham lost the election. If he hadn't conceeded defeat, the carnage the country would have seen, would have been terrible!

I served in that same year and our CLO, the outgoing one was Yoruba muslim who was born and grew up in Kano. All his family lives there. But he told us in the run-up to.that election, he made it a point of duty to not spend that period in Kano. And that's him, a muslim; not to talk of you, a christian living in Sabon Gari.

I asked him: but aren't you a muslism? He said: when they start those things, they don't regard you, a yoruba muslim because they will still treat you like they will treat the other christians. That for them, you are just another Yoruba Yoruba muslims.

So yes, for a foreign power like the US to divide Nigeria and bulkanize it, it will be very simple!
