I love how this man talks,
Very particular, precise and direct. Undeplomatic and unrefined.

He's a realist. Not your everyday kind of president

We the well meaning Nigerians can only pray that your good wishes for Nigerian Christians come to past sooner than later.

Though I want this whole terrorism to end, you make a false point by stating Trump has facts.

I live in the north and can confidently tell you that Muslims suffer more than the Christians there.
The Christians there just love to make it about themselves. They claim to be the only ones targeted, come on social media, and spread false narratives.

Do you know how many Muslim villages have been displaced in the north?

Those terrorists are just hiding behind religion, but there is more to it.

If the Nigerian government can work with the Americans to flush those bastards out, I am fine with that.

But the narrative that it’s a Christian genocide is false.

Mind you, if let's say everywhere scatters now, tell me how the US military will be able to differentiate between a Christian and Muslim in the north, not to talk of a terrorist from an average Muslim.

Something that even an average southerner in Nigeria can’t differentiate a Hausa man from other minorities in the north, is it the US military that would?

Now! If Naija scatters today, some of you living down south think you are safe, huh? Especially those in the Southeast.

Well, let me tell you, more militia and rebels will spring up in the south, especially in the Southeast where there is natural gas and South-South where there is crude oil.

That region will be no different from the north.
Now as for sanctions, if the United States sanctions Nigeria now, who will suffer the most? The average northerner doesn't work with foreign companies; they either do FG jobs or business.

But most youths in the south will suffer because most of them work with foreign companies, engage in remote jobs, online businesses like freelancing, KDP, and the like.

Most youths in the south are the ones that love to japa. When that door is closed your eyes will clear.
The politicians will just fly out of the country with their families. They already have dual citizenship, while you fool that are cheering for the destabilisation of your country will be left to suffer.

Trump doesn’t give 2 Fs about blacks be it a Muslim or Christian.

You all should be careful what you wish for.

Of they can carry out airstrikes and kill all terroist in their hideouts. That is fine with me. But the US military setting foot in Nigeria is a serious problem

Before you call me a terrorist sympathizer, I come from a family where we are mixed (both Christians and Muslims). I am also a half blooded northerner and southerner. So I am giving you an unbiased analysis of the situation on ground.
To differentiate TERRORISTS & Non-Terrorists for you...


Muslim TERRORIST have inborn heart to FIGHT & KILL, including with guns and other sort of weapons. Anyone found with such character (FIGHT & KILL) & also with weapons in their possession is a TERRORIST and that's how the US will differentiate. Meanwhile, don't be surprise the US knows and have their locations.

And if a Christian Terrorist is also found with Weapons and have the tendency to fight and kill innocent people, the US should also go after them.

END & DEATH TO ALL TERRORISTS!!! (Both Christian & Muslim TERRORIST)

This is getting serious. There is a particular group of people in Nigeria that are clamouring for anything that will sow disunity among Nigerians.
The Fulani Isleamic mordrers that had been kieling Christians and biurning churches in Benue and Plateau states, are they sowing the seeds of unity in Nigeria by their actions?!

Even if Musliems have also been kieled, who are the keilers if not Fulani Isleamic mordrers?

Nigeria has many problems, and Fulani Isleamic terorism is one of them.

Anyone who loves Nigeria should be happy that the USA wants to help us remove one of our problems.

Only potential Isleamic mordrers will oppose to what the USA is proposing.

Hey all, the agenda of the American president is to increase the network of islamaphobic folks..Trump is pained! The Muslim from Palestine just became the first Muslim mayor in New York. He won't step his feet in Nigeria till he sees his last year in the oval office. He's a proud man that know one wants to deal with.

I don't think I'll make the place called heaven but I have helped a lot of people to live a better life..

Re: Christianity Facing Existential Threat In Nigeria, Trump Insists In New Video by Razzness(m): 9:36am On Nov 06, 2025
There is no facts I don't have. I have been to at least 25 states across Nigeria. Was it not on this same Nairaland that we saw videos of thousands of bandits parading in Zamfara state. Zamfara is 99.9% Muslim population. So you want me to believe that the villages they raid and ransack are Christian villages? Or in Borno state that at the time when Boko Haram took control of 8 local governments it was Christian that were forced into IDP camps? Why are you people downplaying the suffering of other people to further your own?


brandec:
Get your facts right

Christians are the target and those Muslim affected are those who didn't support them. Has it been they support them they won't be affected.

No one is pushing any agenda other than the Muslim

Yes muslim are killed likewise but that's from bandits.. Its entirely different.
We have the fulani militias funded war or Jihad. I think the past governor of benue state was crying on TV during Buhari time..
He said miyetti allah told him that Nigeria belongs to them and there is nothing he can do. That they will take over the whole Nigeria.

Just look at Jos, benue, Nasarawa, Borno... All this places all Christian population has been targeted and massacred in high numbers
They actually think we are stupid by trying to mix up completely different issues of insecurity. They know exactly what they are doing.
They are forgetting that there are real victims and survivors.
The same format they wanted to use to eliminate Jewish history in the entire middle east and rewrite their history all in the name of Islam but as God would punish them,this is an era of civilisation where there is no place for Islamic terrorism any longer.

IgOga:
Like the weapon of mass destruction in Iraq? How old are you?


The intel is that there is abundance of rare earth metal in Nigeria and the regions where they are are currently being ravished by conflict - first herder vs farmer, now bandits and islamists vs majority "Christian" communities.

Many innocent souls died in Iraq over 150,000 killed by the US by mistake more than the Christians they claim they would save. And in politics the big question is what is in it for the US?

The US government is not a charity organisation. They have seen something that benefits them in Nigeria and so they will invade only on that basis.
Nobody is saying the US is a charity. Every superpower acts based on interest. But the fact that they have interests doesn’t erase the reality on ground.

Yes, Iraq WMD was a political agenda, not lack of intel. Even powerful nations make strategic blunders.

Nigeria’s crisis has been documented for years by UN, Amnesty, ICC, Global Terror Index before the rare-earth minerals gist started trending.

Minerals and religious persecution can coexist. One doesn’t cancel the other.

The simple truth is If nothing was happening, there would be nothing to exploit.

The real problem is the FG downplaying and rebranding attacks as clashes while whole communities are being wiped out.


The question shouldn’t be what does the US want?
The question should be Why does our own government deny what the whole world already sees clearly?
Re: Christianity Facing Existential Threat In Nigeria, Trump Insists In New Video by Outthemudbyvoke: 9:43am On Nov 06, 2025
Geopolitics cannot be one straight line. Even a country can make strategic miscalculations abroad, yet still have accurate human intel on ground elsewhere.
Iraq and Libya were policy choices driven by ideology not because intelligence didn’t exist. Those same intelligence networks still monitor religious extremism and insurgent cells globally.

The fact remains:
Nigeria has been on multiple international watchlists for religious persecution and extremist expansion for years.
Our own FG keeps downplaying it for political optics.

So yes America can be wrong in one region and still be correct about what’s happening here at the same time.
Two things can be true.

Why are you guys so desperate to force these lies on people when we all know that both Christians and Muslims are victims of the same systemic collapse.

I traveled to Kano recently. Go and see how the Igbo community in that state is thriving surrounded by Muslims. You will not even know you are in the North, same thing in Kaduna. A lot of Northerners are also successful traders in the south and can practice whatever religion they choose.

Yes! there are armed terrorists and bandits in many States in Nigeria from the northeast, to northwest, middle belt and south east that propagate evil many of which have nothing to do with religion. I served in Benue and most of the Fulanis I met do not have a religion and have never set foot in a school, mosque or church in their entire lives.

Nigeria’s real problem is state failure, weak justice, and impunity, not a one-sided religious extermination campaign. And the US is very much welcome to come and help us shake the table and clear out terrorists but they should do so without falling for any agenda.
Nigeria had been disunited to tge extreme when APC took charge and got worse under this criminals government
Re: Christianity Facing Existential Threat In Nigeria, Trump Insists In New Video by Razzness(m): 9:44am On Nov 06, 2025
It is a very very good thing that the US spoke about this because at the end of the day even if they don't come to Nigeria. DT have drawn attention to the matter which would keep our politicians on their toes like we have seen over the past few days since his announcement. Everyone is now speaking up which is good. The only problem is that some people are trying to take advantage of the situation further an agenda of creating disunity among Nigerians. We have been through a lot to let that happen.

Why don't we identify the group of people , maybe Trump is amongst the group of people then expel them or tell them to leave Nigeria rather than crying day and night

Baba no dey just talk na, and that's what makes him different from the babas we have in Nigeria meanwhile they trying hard to push propaganda on SM that US army will be attacking Nigeria government, no matter what they do will never bring tinubu down, US army will be attacking Nigeria Cho Cho cho.

Let the US forces attack the radicals while naming officials sponsoring islamic jihadist and going after them one by one and confiscating their properties and blocking their bank accounts will also go a long way

Are you Ok? Gwoza that Boko haram cleared out the entire population along with 7 other local governments that comprises over 95% Muslims. Burnt down thousands of homes, churches, mosques, schools, hospitals and all you could take away was that churches were burnt? So you want me to believe that Christians that are less than 10% of Borno state suffered more than the remaining 90% muslim or that when Boko Haram came that they said Muslims this side Christians this side before they opened fire?

I don't even know what to say at this point. I know generally Muslims and Christians live in harmony. There was one company I worked they only employ Christians. That company is owned and operated by Muslims. It is crazy.

The issue we have in Nigeria is that a few individuals have decided to make life unbearable for some people and the government overlooked these things. Now it has come back to bite them.

It has even made the country to be at a tipping point mehn this is scary
