China and the European Union (EU) said yesterday they were solidly behind Nigeria in its efforts to wipe out terrorists, bandits and other criminals.

Also, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) pointed out that reports show that terrorist-related violence does not discriminate based on gender, religion, ethnicity or age.


No religious colouration to country’s insecurity - EU

EU Spokesperson for Foreign Affairs and Security, Anouar El Anouni, who reacted to Trump’s threat, reaffirmed the bloc’s commitment to freedom of religion and belief, and to the protection of all communities.

“The EU expresses its solidarity with all the communities and families affected by the violence, including the recent large-scale attacks in the Southern belt of Nigeria and in the Northeast,’’ El Anouni added.

He assured that the European bloc has taken note of the statements made by the American administration concerning Nigeria.

El Anouni added: ‘’The EU reaffirms its commitment to freedom of religion and belief, and to the protection of all communities, especially to minorities, and we underline our commitment to the peaceful coexistence of the Nigerian population, beyond geographical, ethnic, political, or religious differences.

‘’We recognise the many factors behind the violence in Nigeria. Let us note that religion is only one of these factors, and only in certain instances.

“The European Union cooperates with the competent Nigerian authorities and implements multi-faceted support in Nigeria to prevent violence, to encourage the consolidation of peace and to assist the victims of violence and forced displacement.”

China Warns US Against Interference In Nigeria’s Affairs

In Beijing, China’s Foreign Ministry Spokesperson, Mao Ning, told reporters at a news conference that Beijing would not turn its back on a ‘’comprehensive strategic partner’’ like Nigeria, especially in its time of challenge.

“We oppose any country’s interference in other countries’ internal affairs under the pretext of religion and human rights. We oppose the wanton threat of sanctions and use of force,” Ning said.

“As a comprehensive strategic partner of Nigeria, China firmly supports the Nigerian government in leading its people to a development path that fits Nigeria’s national realities,” he added.

Trump’s genocide claim divisive, dangerous for region’s cohesion - ECOWAS

In a statement yesterday in Abuja, ECOWAS drew the attention of its partners and the international community to the growing level of violence that terrorist groups of different colouration have perpetrated in some countries in the West African region, including Nigeria.

It said it was important for all to note that perpetrators of violence target innocent civilians of all religious denominations, including Muslims, Christians, and adherents to other religions.

The regional bloc rejected ‘’false and dangerous claims’’ that seek to deepen insecurity in communities and weaken social cohesion in the region.

The statement reads in part: “Perpetrators of this violence target innocent civilians of all religious denominations, including Muslims, Christians, and adherents to other religions.

“As independent reports have confirmed over the years, terrorist-related violence does not discriminate based on gender, religion, ethnicity or age.

“ECOWAS calls on the United Nations and all partners to support member states in their fight against these groups and to treat as false any claims that these terrorist groups target one group, or that there is a genocide of one religious group in the region.

ECOWAS calls on the whole world to stand by the countries in the region in their fight against terrorism that targets all communities.’’

Is Nigeria actually making any effort to wipe out terrorism?

Is Tinubu making any effort to protect lives and property according to the oath he took as President?

What exactly has been done by the military to combat terrorism?

If these killings do not stop forthwith then America is more than welcome and free to intervene.

I didn't see where the EU condemned the Trump military action on Nigeria over Islamic terrorism against the Christians in the country. instead, it strongly condemned the on going attacks on Christians in Nigeria .

What this means is that the European Union (EU) are solidly behind any step that will stop the senseless killings of christians all around the northern states and middle belt where Benue has had the worst hit by the Islamic terrorists .

The EU supports Trump military intervention to stop killing of Christians in Nigeria

They should use that their solidarity to help wipe away terrorism in Nigeria that's what we want

Nigeria must request their help to begin with. Not all global leaders have lost the plot, as Trump has, to begin making lunatic declaration they understand international law forbids and will surely rise against.

Nigeria must have attacked the USA or be 100% confirmed as threatening America's interest for Trump to get support and approval for his sad and misguided announcements which is no different to him saying America will attack sovereign African nations where gays and lesbians are being persecuted.

Trump's demand was that Nigeria should protect her own citizens and take care of the terrorism business that has turned us to a 'disgraced country', else the US will take care of business.

Why is the Nigerian government and seeming friends not assuring the US and the world that we are capable of dismantling terrorism? Instead, we are whipping up emotions up and down.

I don't think that the average Nigerian denies that the insecurity and wanton killings by the numerous Islamic terrorist groups are real, and we don't care who helps to stop it since the Nigerian government is lackadaisical about it.

Game on!, International muscle flexing at its finest. China has rattled the US, by the time Putin also expresses his strong support for Nigeria, then followed by each members of BRICS, Trump will have something to chew about. Powerful countries knows how important, influential and powerful Nigeria's standing is among the international community. The world is not ready for any related war-torn crisis that Trump could be planning for the biggest black population ahd and the most powerful African nation in the world.

I consider Trump's threat as yet another of his failed rhetoric play book. This is a man that had boasted and threatened several countries but he was met with stronger resistance and so far he has folded.

He threatened to annex Canada as the 51st state of America but he failed,

He threatened to annex Greenland in Denmark, but he failed,

He threatened to take over Panama canal but failed,

He also threatened to convert the Gulf of Mexico into the Gulf of America but he failed.

He will also fail spectacularly on Nigeria issues.

God bless President Tinubu
God bless China,
God bless Russia,
God bless EU,
God bless ECOWAS,
God bless Nigeria.


-Kiss the truth!

Shame , that all the guys put together can’t defeat US in war…

Other Africans should stay away from this issue if village politics wont allow them to stand on the side of truth. They should face their fledging countries and sort their mounting problems before dabbling into issues way above their pay grade.

This is not the first time we have been here. During the Biafra-Nigeria war of the 60s, the then OAU insisted that Nigeria was indivisible , basically providing the biggest diplomatic cover to the biggest genocide that ever happened in modern black Africa!

They paid dearly for that though, as all of those despots who supported that line of thoughts, were uprooted one after the other by internal forces that drew a lot of negative courage from the Nigerian crises. Let them stay in their lanes this time!

Christians in Nigeria 🇳🇬 need Donald Trump!
Don't whine me with all sorts of fake African and Nigerian nationalism rants..
When the terrorists come in the nights to kill and maim, I don't see you scaring them off while shouting "African unity" and "African territorial integrity"..

They have also expressed solidarity with Gaza ,Iran , Palestine etc but that hasn't stop terrorist from being wiped out.

lolzzz

When Tinubu was on Niger case, who stood with them?

He literally wanted to invade Niger; now, he is running helter-skelter to have a meeting with the US. Well, we know who will see him: the PA of the driver of the secretary of state will be the one to meet him.

Eyepob, bitterness only erodes ones ability to read and understand. If you like, be bitter for 100years, it will never make you win election.

Tinubu and APC embarrassing Nigeria

Baba's mind should be calming down by now. Good development but he should wipe out those evil 😈😈😈 doers

Which China? The one that is supporting terrorists in the north to gain access to illegal mining sites in Nigeria? Nigerian Senator Adams Oshiomhole once accused China of stealing Nigeria’s resources, arming bandits and terrorist groups to protect their illegal mining sites.

Nigerian leaders do not have world support, they only have the support of the countries they are trying to lobby to help them clean up their mess, whom they are going to exchange something for.

Nigeria is a sovereign nation. The same sovereign nation has a constitution that says Nigeria is a secular state, but Sharia law has been forcefully implemented in the northern Nigeria against the secularity of Nigeria to create enabling environment for Islamic terrorists in and outside Nigeria to grow. The end result would always be to kilI those who oppose their jihadist ideology towards establishing their caliphate in Nigeria.

Without this move by Trump, Nigeria would soon become the terrorists headquarters of the world, where all terrorists organizations would have their bases.

Every peace loving Nigeria, moslem, christian, traditional worshiper should support any country that want to help us stop terrorism in Nigeria since the Nigeria government has failed us.

These are the countries that have contributed to the death of the country Nigeria. Since these countries have been making noise about Ukraine, they have not been able to do anything even.

Solidarity with Nigeria...how nah
Did trump threaten war on Nigeria??
How come every body is making it sound like US is planning war with Nigeria.
Trump is only coming to wipe out the terrorist terrorizing the country for long.

Tinubu is more concern in his bid to be reelection nothing concern Tinubu with the killings going on under his watch as a president

Now the picture is becoming clearer... China of all people does not want Nigeria to succeed, mark my words. If you think otherwise, you are delusional. I have never seen any country as racist to blacks as China.

magoo10:

Gaza and Nigeria are completely two different situations, it's like night and day. Stop embarrassing yourself on social media.

EU solidarity with the Nigerian state is welcome and timely so, however, it's rather late from ECOWAS.

America is a terrorist state that causes problems all over the world just to sell weapons to the waring groups.

As of today, the most insecure region in Nigeria is the Muslims dominated regions. Everyone knows that Zamfara, Katsina, Sokoto, Kebbi and Niger States top the chart.

Are you saying the Muslims hate themselves so much to be killing themselves?

There's insecurity and it's in large scale but trying to label it a genocide against Christians is false and Trump got it all wrong.

If he wants to help Nigeria, he should do it in a way that our sovereignty is protected not by invasion.

Have you asked yourself who the manufacturers of the weapons boko haram terrorists, ipob terrorists, Bandits terrorists, lakurawa and killers herdsmen are?

Let's start from there and we will know their sponsors. Why selling weapons to the non state actors?

Why denying selling to the Nigerian state?

I'm happy he's being called out.

It is very very insensitive & stvpid to tag the insecurity & terrorism in Nigeria to any religion. Mosques are also infiltrated & Muslims have been victims of violence too. I wouldn't mind getting foreign assistance in combating the terrorists, but please, don't give it a religious colour.

It must be the same people with Islamization propaganda, which is implausible.

Trump is only saying what their itching ears want to hear.

EU Russia is in solidarity with you enjoy. ECOWAS 😂 Sahel states is there boss in progress, development. ECOWAS passport still rejected on Visa to EU. While Burkina Faso can now travel to Italy Europe. Bastards thugs criminals that needs not only Trump coming but putting all from up to down into prison for corruption,drugs, kidnapping, money laundering, etc

These ones will be found wanting when sh!t hits the fan.


Na diplomatic talks be dis

The fight against Radical Islamic Terrorists is now beyond the Nigerian government...

If China, the EU and Ecowas cannot help us fight these bastards, then they should allow Trump and the US to intervene...

Trump has what it takes to flush out these demons from Nigeria...

Na wa, wetin una like make una use the country do

Putindbutt:
Gaza and Nigeria are completely two different situations, it's like night and day. Stop embarrassing yourself on social media.

continue dwelling in self deceit Nigeria is darkness presently Oga .if the loss of lives doesn't touch you it touches us who have human feelings .
Nigeria is gradually gradually getting there if your leaders refuse to wake up.

Those who stood with Tinubu to reject military coup in Niger republic are also standing with him to reject Trump.

How is flushing out and killing terrorists physically and there tracing there financial sponsors a threat ?


This people eeeh


Death to terrorists and there sponsors


Alhamudul ' yasua al maassih
Alhaamudul ' Ruh Al qudus
Alhamudul Yahweh

We also need Russia to join the party by pledging full support to Nigeria in the event of an illegal invasion by Trump.
