U.S. President Donald Trump said that terrorists “know what is coming” if they attack Christians, portraying his robust stance against groups accused of targeting Christian communities in Nigeria and suggesting the United States could respond forcefully if such violence continues.

He stated this at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, DC on Thursday. “When Christians come under attack, terrorists know they are going to be attacked violently and viciously by President Trump. I know it is not a nice thing to say, but that is the way it is,” he added.

Trump’s remarks came amid continued international attention on Nigeria’s security situation following recent claims by Trump and some US lawmakers that Christians in Nigeria face widespread violence.

PUNCH Online had reported that Trump designated Nigeria as a “country of particular concern” over alleged attacks on Christians, a move that drew criticism from the Nigerian government, which rejected the claims as inaccurate and harmful to national unity.

Trump addressed various global security issues and how his administration was working to defeat dangerous extremist groups.

Trump said that the U.S. military under his administration had “knocked out” the Islamic State (ISIS) in Nigeria because of how they were attacking Christians.

Trump said he was defeating ISIS when he first entered office, but claimed the group resurged during the four years he was out of office. He also said ISIS was responsible for killing Christians in Nigeria.

“When I was out of office for four years, ISIS rebuilt again. We had a bit of ISIS again, but we knocked the hell out of them the other day in Nigeria because they were killing Christians,” Trump said.

Trump added that ISIS would not be allowed to continue killing Christians, and he warned that he would respond strongly if they did.

Ihejirika was firing those Islamic terrorists back to back, northern elders started crying that he’s committing genocide and avenging civil war,..

I wonder how these Nothern elders would be feeling now that Trump is ready to clear them off..

Maybe they will stage another protest like that shamelessly did last two months before Trump struck

It is now abundantly clear that President Jonathan has finally bared his fangs confirming what was widely speculated. By declaring a state of emergency in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa, he has intimidated and emasculated the governors of these States. We are witnessing a dangerous trend in the art of governance and a deliberate ploy to subvert constitutional democracy.

The body language of the Jonathan administration leads any keen watcher of events with unmistakable conclusion of the existence of a surreptitious but barely disguised intention to muzzle the elected governments of these states for what is clearly a display of unpardonable mediocrity and diabolic partisanship geared towards 2015.

Borno and Yobe states have been literally under armies of occupation with the attendant excruciating hardship experienced daily by the indigenes and residents of these areas. This government now wants to use the excuse of the security challenges faced by the Governors to remove them from the states considered hostile to the 2015 PDP/Jonathan project.

Let me be quick to say that this administration will be setting in motion a chain of events the end of which nobody can predict. Experience has shown clearly that actions, such as this one under consideration, often give root to radical ideologies and extremist tendencies, a direct opposite of the intended outcome of unwarranted and unintelligent meddlesomeness. The present scenario playing out in the country reminds one of the classical case of a mediocre craftsman who continually blames the tools of his trade for his serial failure but refuses to look at his pitiable state with a view to adjusting.

Trump is taking baby steps when he can solve the matter decisively in a few weeks.
Why hasn't he retaliated for Kwara ?

Don't hold your breath because of Trump.

It's a big club, and you're not part of it.

Buhari said: “If you elect me as the President of Nigeria on February 14 (now March 28), I am assuring you that our government will chase Boko Haram out of Nigeria within two months because it is the responsibility of any reasonable government to secure the lives and property of its citizens.”

That's your opinion, and I respect it. But this idea of wiping out Islam is what countries in the West and America are trying since time immemorial with zero% potential success.
Do you have an idea how Islam ☪️️ should be wipe out?
