The lies and twisting of the real issues in other to draw a different view of American intents by the corrupt institution in Nigeria. The US never accused federal government of sponsoring killing of Christians or taking over of there land.
The uproar is simply because the evil cabal backing these extremists knows that their time is up,with US designation of Nigeria as a country of special concern,it will certainly go with sanctions on the sponsors of these heinous crimes,their assets and dollar dealings will be frozen,they and their resources will be targeted,these whole cry is not about Nigeria but self interests of the criminal elements.
US didn't accuse the Nigerian state of the killings but rather the privilege terrorists killing Christians,committing ethnic cleansing against minority tribes,killing both muslims and people of other Faith.
Are we saying that we should allow this evil to continue even when the Nigeria securities have failed to stop them in the past 10 years,so that our people will continuously be massacred.
Lately we now see these bandits parade some states at will,displaying different arms and yet nothing is done,our securities seem not to know there locations but one Shiek Gumi can go and negotiate with them at will....this joke and national disgrace must stop.The blood of the innocent will forever seek justice!

Now this is what I called constructive criticism, not people that wants to incite and heat up the polity, kudos brother

How can someone comes in to your country without approval? Even though Nigerian leaders are useless and selfish

Thats the thing really. No one is actually saying it is the FG that is doing this madness, but there are powerful state and non-state actors acting independently giving subtle support and turning the other way while madness happens. These people are those who are giving the killers the confidence to do more.

If these people are taken out of the picture, the crimes will greatly reduce.

How does one divorce powerful state actors from the government? If the government harbours the powerful state actors - which would be knowingly, then we're saying the same thing. Talking with both sides of the mouth.

Everyone is just trying to score cheap points in this matter! Even Trump is catching cruise!

Are yeu saying yeu don't want Trump to eriadicate Isleamic terorism in Nigeria?

Are yeu saying yeu want Isleamic terorism to continue unaddressed?! Are yeu saying yeu are happy with the way Fulani Meuslim mordrers are invading homes and deimanding millions of naira riansom from pioor people?!

If that's the case, it means yeu so-called moderate Meuslims are lovers of Isliamic terrorism. Yeu are just pretiending to be peaceful.

Or do you think yeur masters Fulani Meuslim mordrers will accept yeu as a good Meuslim if yeu support their violient morderious behaviours since they currently see yeuu as fiake Meuslims?

There is zero peace in Isliam!

Trump threatened to take actions against Nigeria and you said it isn't an accusing on the FG?

FG is Nigerian government and Trump directed all his threats to the government.

ADC must really be confused about what's going on.

Also, if Trump takes action, we all know that the same ADC will have lots of meriments to do because the FG under Tinubu failed.

But we know that Tinubu will succeed.
1. We will trash dollar dependence in Nigeria through the oil sector
2. All exchange on import goods will be in Naira not dollar....

Trump should get ready to sanction Nigeria.... After all, they sanctioned China and went back to beg.

Trash dollar dependence? You kids , you crack me up. What is Nigeria's debt denominated in?

Amarachieze:
Really? No accusations? But there is an indictment. An irresponsible govt is inadvertently an accomplice. Report shows that security agents turned blind eyes while terrorists kill.
Meanwhile, the govt that was indirectly accusing Isreal of genocide in Gaza is now learning what genocide really is. Trump just want them to know that they are a kettle calling pot black
I expect protest in kano

They know Americans clearly 💀, the sponsors are into hiding. America is busy mobilizing her allies. USA, Canada, EU

zoedew:
I know that on this matter in which they are all complicit they will all be in agreement. Truth is there is targeted killing of Christians in Nigeria and the FG has treated the matter with levity.

Na so!

True, but the government doesn’t seem to have the political will to nip it in the bud, probably they think it is reducing the number of people that will vote against them in the next elections 🫢

The "these people" are part of the government, unfortunately.

Wallade:
ADC and you are funny?

When another and superior country designates Nigeria as a country of concern on grounds that Christians are being killed in mass and possible genocide against Christians in Nigeria.

You don't think that is an indictment on the Federal Government led by the APC?

The poor and delicate security situation in Nigeria is an indictment on the APC led government. The terrorism, kidnapping, banditry and separatist gunmen attacks are signs of a failing state and ultimately an indictment on the APC led Federal Government.

Why are you guys now saying no one is accusing the APC led federal government of persecution of Christians? Especially when you seem to agree that Christians are being killed in mass?

Is the accusation of the APC federal government not exactly ADC's ultimate motive?

The target is on the terrorists, and from the look of things, APC led Federal Government has nothing to offer in that matter, so they should be annexed for the main concerned body to teach them, assist and help them do their work..
I think APC led Government should rather be rejoicing that what they planted and what they don't know how to remove will soon be removed by external bodies...

Right from the time Buhari told Good luck Government that he will make his government ungovernable, that's when Biko Haram crippled out, and looking at those in APC government now, they were there when Boko Haram stated in Bornu State inshort even a Governor...one couldn't speak anything against Boko Haram in any newspaper but claims tp love Nigeria but is now occupying the most important seat in Government...

So in one way or the other , why the APC led Government is disturbed is because there is no transparency in their fight against terrorism in Nigeria...

Precisely.

we are simply saying that The FGN is doing nothing about it

The painful thing hat it took USA speaking up for our government to respond to such. Wickedness everywhere

ITS EITHER YOU CAN'T READ OR YOU ARE A TERRIBLE LIAR. TRUMP'S DIRECTION OF ACTIONS IS TO THE PERPETRATORS OF KILLING, NOT NIGERIA. WITHDRAWAL OF AID IS PREROGATIVE OF THE AMERICAN ADMIN. ASIDE THAT HE TALKED ABOUT TAKING OUT TERRORISTS.

JASONjnr:
A truck was stopped at Edo and Muslims were killed.

The crisis we have is within and can be done with.... Inviting Trump to do your job for you means that you have to forfeit a lot of things.

America will never do anything for free.... Hiding behind genocide to invade Nigeria just to come and start stealing our resources also, they will introduce more war to keep selling their weapons.

are the politicians not stealing your resources already and making you the capital of all poverty country in the world

God said it and I believe it. All sponsors of terrorists, your days or retribution are near.
Apkabio Gods will, who knows him? Tell him he is becoming a nuisance. The ancient ones who are in charge of women are beginning to turn their backs at him. He needṣ to calm down. They are being disturbed by he and Natasha noise.
Good to see Wike has calmed down
He should use wisdom and compassion for lives to do things from now on. Not saying he should break rules but where things can be salvaged, he should make it easy for souls to salvage themselves.
Asari, go watch your health.

The opposition knows that when the chips are down, their role in the insecurity situation will be exposed, that is why they are all speaking tongue in cheek.

Is it El Rufai that will dare talk about this kind of matter when he knows how he is viewed globally, or Atiku that deleted an initial tweet condemning the killing of Deborah, a Christian girl? If anything, FG will claim that there were suspicions about El Rufai, which was why he was not appointed as a federal minister. Atiku was once held in Dubai over suspicion of sponsoring terrorism.

Even lamba king that used to come blazing with all cylinders at every bad news, first took 2 days to compose his tweet, and when he finally did, his response was more matured and measured than he is usually known for.

Which resources are you people even talking about? The one the masses are not enjoying or the one the elites armed some people to protect them as they keep on extracting, selling and putting the money in their pockets? I repeat again, Trump is not going to fight innocent Nigerians. He’ll only fight and kill the terrorists. Are u one of them? Why are u protecting and supporting the bad boys?

Now this issue will divide opposition. While Obis supporters believe Trump Atikus supporters will not because some of them are complicit in these. Even Atiku deleted his earlier tweet on Twitter condemning the killing of Deborah Samuels by her Muslim fanatical schoolmates. They killed her on the allegations of attributing her success to Jesus. Meanwhile, Tambuwal was then gov. The killers showed us the matches used to burn her alive. Tambuwal and his ADC people are also roped in by Trump's call out. Tambuwal should produce evidence of Deborahs killers prosecution. Northern fanatical Muslims kill for religion and are left off the hook by their leaders. Tambuwal should account.

You are free to accuse the APC led federal government afterall, government should expect criticism in course of governance.

I just expect the ADC not to change their narrative on the subject. The ADC is accusing the APC led Federal Government of persecuting Christians in Nigeria.

Please read: why isn't anyone thinking that why is it Only Christian lives that matters to the US? So, other people of faiths other than Islam can be killed abi? . Means the US don't care about humanity .

My happiness is that if trump want to do something, he doesn't care about wether the actor give consent or not.

ADC just like my first paragraph, has no hand in accusing APC led Federal Government of anything, this is not a party issue, we are talking about up to 500 lives slaughtered by Fulani herdsmen and there was no single arrest by the Securities, haba....

We are talking about the massacre of human beings like you abeg, and you shouldn't be on the side of APC talk more on the side of Federal Government...

As far as Nigerians are concerned, Federal Government has nothing with APC, inshort there is no APC party aims and objectives that the Federal Government is using as of today , so for us to have a better and working country, let us remove party out of Federal Government and face her squarely to perform the obligations of which on them , the power was given to them..

Anything longer or short of this is not in my opinion, let's put the round peg on the right hole ...

Leave ADC party alone, they are not the problem of Nigeria and they are not the incumbent Government....

emkz:
No sensible politician would play politics with national security. There have been tweets by Tinubu where he condemned Jonathan in the past for insecurity. There are also reports that some APC politicians went to report to USA about Jonathan's handling of security.

They were wrong making such a move.

At times like this, everyone would put hands together to work together to end this madness that has bedevilled our nation for decades. We must out country first.

What does this mean?

1. Amnesty and negotiation with bandits and terrorists are not the solution. Doing that gives them the upper hand. So repentant bandits or terrorists must end. Anyone who takes the life of another for any reason that is illegal should legally forfeit his.

2. Security is the responsibility of all. There should be a central reporting system for citizens to report their suspicions.

3. Soldiers should be given the order to take out these people. We can't treat them with kid gloves.

4. Phone calls should be monitored to track planned attacks. Bank accounts should also be monitored. In case of large withdrawals for cash-based logistics, banks should notify authorities for monitoring.

5. President Tinubu, your primary responsibility is security of lives and properties. Fastrack the appointment of forest guards and let them get to work.

Bold 1....... They were never wrong at that time and no one should be wrong if they report the present administration, not just the FG but also the SG.


Bold 2..... The talk about PBAT responsible for security of the Nigerian State because he is the C-in C and he alone controls the Amred Forces is nothing but a lame shallow talk.

Every State Governor has the primary responsibility to ensure the safety of lives and property of those within his territory is intact and no one should live in fear.
Every State Governor has the responsibility to put in place Forest Guards, State owned independent security officers who are specially equipped for such purpose and each State will its own tailored to their specific challenges.

State Governors can't be collecting security allowance and still do nothing, some even go to the extent keep mute and pretend they don't have insecurity issues in their areas because many of the communities that suffer such are in most times remote places.

When these bandits herders attack, we don't hear security people apprehending them but when we get to hear a retaliation from the communities we now see the speed with which the security people will want to stop the communities from protecting themselves.!!!!!!

The African Democratic Congress, ADC, said no one is accusing the Federal Government of Nigeria of persecuting Christians in the country.

The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Bolaji Abdullahi, said the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, believes that any form of criticism is an attack on them

Is this Balaji Abdullah not the guy that forced an underage Igbo girl into marriage and used the police to keep her in ilorin......All these northerners are complicit in what is going on in the north.

The ADC sef is full of jihadists just like APC and PDP..........the Nigerian army must be defulanized or else!

APC and ADC are one and the same...both parties are run by Islamic terrorists sympathisers

Hypocrisy or Fear? The Truth Behind Trump’s Comment on Nigeria’s Terror Crisis

In recent days, many Nigerians have taken to social media to express outrage over Donald Trump’s reported statement about intervening in Nigeria’s terrorism crisis. Some call it “foreign interference,” others label it “neocolonialism.” But before we drown in hypocrisy, let’s pause and ask the real question: Did Trump say he’s invading Nigeria to take over, or did he say he’s going after terrorists who have turned parts of Nigeria into killing fields?

For years, Nigeria’s northern region and parts of the Middle Belt have been plagued by terrorist attacks from Boko Haram, ISWAP, and armed Fulani militias. Thousands have been displaced, villages burned, and Christian communities wiped out, all while the Nigerian government issues the same empty statements: “We condemn this attack and will bring the perpetrators to justice.” Yet justice never comes.

So when Trump or any foreign leader speaks out about what the Nigerian government refuses to acknowledge: a Christian genocide, a terror epidemic, and state-enabled insecurity, the same voices that should be demanding accountability suddenly rise up in defense of “sovereignty.” Sovereignty of what, exactly? A nation that has lost control of its own safety? A system where terrorists roam free while victims are silenced?

The hypocrisy is glaring.
When the West stays silent, we say, “They don’t care about us.”
When someone dares to speak, we scream, “Stay out of our affairs!”
But whose affairs are we protecting, the people’s, or the terrorists’?🤷‍♂️

Trump’s alleged comment about “wiping away terrorist hideouts” should not anger any patriotic Nigerian. It should embarrass our leaders, who, despite years of promises and billions of naira in security budgets, have allowed terrorists to grow bolder by the day. Nigeria’s security agencies have become more reactive than proactive, more interested in silencing critics than stopping insurgents.

Let’s be honest: if the Nigerian government had done its job, there would be no room for any foreign power to even consider stepping in. But our leaders’ complacency and the silence of their supporters has turned Nigeria into a humanitarian disaster zone.

Those lamenting Trump’s statement should ask themselves one question: Why are we more offended by someone calling out the truth than by the terrorists killing innocent Nigerians?
Maybe, just maybe, it’s because many of these so-called critics are part of the propaganda machine that keeps defending the indefensible.

Until the Nigerian government stops protecting terrorists and starts protecting its citizens, any external voice speaking truth about Nigeria’s insecurity should be welcomed, not condemned. Because silence in the face of evil is worse than complicity; it is collaboration.

Let the world hear this loud and clear: Nigerians are not asking for invasion of its people, we are asking for justice and help to combat the terrorist. Since our government won’t act, then they have lost the moral right to dictate who should speak or act against the bloodshed.
And in conclusion terrorists should be afraid, not citizens, not activists, and certainly not truth-tellers.
