https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvIJTioobzk Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, has described President Donald Trump’s Christian genocide claims and threat of military action as an embarrassment to the country, blaming the Nigerian government’s inability to tackle insecurity. Falana, who spoke on Wednesday’s edition of Channels Television’s Politics Today, cited the government’s inability to tackle crimes like kidnapping for ransom, among others. “Why have we brought this embarrassment to ourselves as a people that we are being treated as a neocolony of the United States of America?” the senior lawyer asked. “We cannot even challenge Mr Trump, ‘How dare you? Where is this hypocrisy coming from?’” Trump last week declared Nigeria a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) over what he said was a “mass slaughter of Christians”. He later threatened military action in the West African nation if authorities fail to address the issue quickly. “I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians! WARNING: THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT BETTER MOVE FAST!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. Trump’s comment had triggered a wave of debate within and outside the country, with the Federal Government denying the claims. Weighing in on the matter, Falana said the recent development is a wake-up call for Nigeria to put its house in order. “For us as a people and for the government of Nigeria, we must now take Mr Trump’s warning as a wake-up call,” the Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) said on the current affairs show.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvIJTioobzk I can see evidence that the government is now giving information to the public and the international community on efforts being made to wage a counter-insurgency operation. We are now being told how many people are being taken to court. BlessedGift: |

If Nigeria is destabilised tomorrow, Tinubu and APC should be held accountable for bringing insecurity in Nigeria just to win election |

AqualinaXYZ:Eh! Don't repeat that statement again! Obi or what? If Obi or Atiku is the president, the situation will be far worse. Mr Falana is just talking theory; there are Muslim leaders sabotaging the effort. The population of the terrorists keep increasing because they are been funded secretly while some of their Islamic leaders are cunningly protecting the terrorists and serve as eyes and ears of terrorists in the bushes |

This is my question. Is it a must that a particular subset of people in Nigeria must roam around with cows? Why can't open grazing be banned? Brazil and Australia are the world's largest suppliers of cattle and they don't allow cows roam around. What is wrong with the Fulani in Nigeria? Why must the rest of the country keep suffering and dying because a group of people have refused to modernize? |

Today, the Supreme Court would strip Donald Trump the power to implement Tarrifs without Congress approval. SarkinYarki, FarahAideed, how you check am? |

Buhari, Tinubu and APC brought the embarrassment and disgrace on Nigeria, not me, not other innocent Nigerians who are only victim of APC's evil agenda and failure ![]() |

SarkinYarki:No, he doesn't. He is not a king. He must consult with his constituents through their representatives unless in a case of emergency. He has hurt America's trade relations. He would be required to refund all tariffs paid by American businesses . Today na today. |

Hmmmmm....Why have we brought this embarrassment to ourselves as a people that we are being treated as a neocolony of the United States of America?” the senior lawyer asked. BlessedGift: |

Falana don dey talk too much these days. How will you call President Trump comments an embarrassment when he is just exercising his free speech? Nigeria is a sovereign nation and we dont need to be lectured on how to handle our internal issues. |

No sir It's your Yoruba kinsmen that brought embarrassment to this nation by denying that there is no Christian genocide in this country just because they want to please the north for political gains Shame |

tundegan:A sovereign nation that cannot protect her citizens while terrorists are being pampered and worship. |
