Trump Makes U-Turn, Admits Muslims Are Also Being Killed In Nigeria by Omooba77(op): 4:32pm On Jan 09
For the first time since President Donald Trump shifted his focus on insecurity in Nigeria, he has admitted that Muslims are also victims of killings.

Contrary to the reality on ground, the US President has consistently claimed that Christians are being targeted in attacks.

However, in an interview with New York Times, Trump admitted that not a single religion is being affected, but even at that, he claimed that Christians were the major victims.

“I think that Muslims are being killed also in Nigeria. But it’s mostly Christians,” New York Times quoted him to have said.

On the Christmas Day attack on terror targets in Nigeria, Trump said there could be more strikes by the U.S.

“I’d love to make it a one-time strike … But if they continue to kill Christians, it will be a many-time strike,” Trump was quoted as saying.

When asked about his own Africa adviser having said that Islamic State and Boko Haram militants were killing more Muslims than Christians, Trump responded: “I think that Muslims are being killed also in Nigeria. But it’s mostly Christians.”

Trump, in late October, began warning that Christianity faces an “existential threat” in Nigeria and threatened to militarily intervene in the West African country over what he says is its failure to stop violence targeting Christian communities.

Trump had redesignated Nigeria a Country of Particular Concern and accused the government of being weak to protect lives.

However, the Federal Government later sent a high-powered delegation to the US to highlight Nigeria’s security situation.

After the visit, top American officials also visited Nigeria to get first-hand accounts of the situation.

This is not the win that Agbadorians are spinning it to be. Nigerians are being killed. What is Tinubu doing about it?

Re: Trump Makes U-Turn, Admits Muslims Are Also Being Killed In Nigeria by chiagozien(m): 4:40pm On Jan 09
Was there a time he said Muslims are not killed too by Muslim terrorists?



Below 👇 is different between good Muslim and bad Muslim.

Re: Trump Makes U-Turn, Admits Muslims Are Also Being Killed In Nigeria by BlackViper:
He also said that Jihadist terrorists are behind the attacks.
This is not the win you think it is🤣
Re: Trump Makes U-Turn, Admits Muslims Are Also Being Killed In Nigeria by Richtaiwo(m): 4:49pm On Jan 09
So, if Muslims are also falling victim to banditry and insurgency, one is compelled to ask, where exactly did this dramatic tale of a “Christian genocide” originate from? Or is it one of those conspiracy theories manufactured somewhere between WhatsApp broadcasts and late-night imagination?

And now to the handle-mops, having exhausted local theatrics, they appear to be pinning their hopes on Trump, expecting him to swoop in and somehow replace Tinubu with pitobi under the banner of “Christian genocide.” One has to admire the creativity.

When that fantasy collapses, as it surely will, what’s the next move? A heartfelt appeal to Netanyahu? At this rate, the campaign strategy seems less like politics and more like an international prayer chain, desperately searching for a miracle sponsor.
Re: Trump Makes U-Turn, Admits Muslims Are Also Being Killed In Nigeria by Benbellamor: 4:53pm On Jan 09
He said moderate Muslims are being killed by radical Muslims because they see moderate Muslims as infidels
Now who are the moderate Muslims? They are Hausa Muslims.... while the Fulani Muslims are the jihadist

Christians are not killing Muslims
Fact
So trump is not making any turn
Re: Trump Makes U-Turn, Admits Muslims Are Also Being Killed In Nigeria by CyynthiaKiss(f): 4:53pm On Jan 09

There are both Christians and Muslims being killed but almost all the killings are by Muslims that is what makes it heavily one sided

You can't deny that your govt provide support and backing for ruthless terrorists and kidnappers to keep perpetrating vicious attacks on the hapless Nigerian citizenry over and over again.

This is not what the supporters of one failure want to hear. They are asking their lord and saviour Trump to come and capture Tinubu and replace him with their failure. They won't be happy with Trump until Trump do the impossible. What a shame!

How many Nigerians killed is now the topic and concern for international bodies while the so called leaders here treat it with levity.

You force the narrative on him.

Then he agrees with you.
Then you call him a liar.

Your Hot Tears is so sweet 😭😭😭😭

Trump is far better than your Muslim - Muslim Combo in the Aso Rock Villa that cannot defend their nation against Kidnappers, Bandits and Terrorists..

Trump had to Sneeze about Christian Genocide before they came to their Senses.
Re: Trump Makes U-Turn, Admits Muslims Are Also Being Killed In Nigeria by ogascomax: 6:34pm On Jan 09
This is the propaganda they are been pushing everywhere. Admitting that Muslims are being killed is not making u-turn. We are also aware that Muslims are been killed which we have never denied on this forum. However, we still stand on the ground that they are genocides against Christians. Trump also warned that if the killings continue that they will be more strikes. Sowore was just typing rubbish on X.

Be careful with your unrestrained criticisms. Even the government officials you are defending are not speaking uncontrollably. Just a piece of advice.
