The only godly thing Trump ever did was dealing with those LGBT people who were teaching kids their nonsense in school. Making taxpayers fund gender change and other brazen rubbish during the Biden years.
He rightly put a check on them.

A lot of people who are religious applauded him for that. Subsequently, his advisers told him to maximize it for political gain.
They released a picture of praying in the Whitehouse etc.

They went even further and took it to International politics. While preparing for Iran war, they seized Venezuela oil for buffer. I'm sure they considered seizing Nigeria too, so they used the Cristian persecution rant as a potential Flashpoint to justify a possible invasion. Eventually, they didn't need Nigeria.
"Christian president" is still useful for Trump though.

It was going well until Trump attacked the pope and then depicted himself as Jesus. Fortunately, he listened to advice and deleted that image. But who he really is has been made clear as always.

America is not a custodian of the religion in any way. And Trump is just a typical politician.

I agree with the Bishops ... their point is Trump told a big fat lie that he has ended the Christian genocide in Nigeria. First off there was and is no Christian genocide in Nigeria ... only an idiot will say such. This became a talking point by the Trump regime because some of our Christian Trump ass worshippers took the fake news to them. At the time ... Trump was in full swing to control oil... took control of Venezuela's oil under the pretext of "drug runnings". Nigeria ... control of that also in the works ... but what will be the pretext? Here comes an opportunity.... " Christian genocide". ... let's start making noise... and they did. Drop a missile as introduction .. will ramp up when the time comes ... but keep Christian genocide on the back burner. Control of Iran oil first ... pretext ... they're about to make a nuclear bomb... attack on Iran. It did not go well... went bad... verrry bad. The control oil reserves programme is out on ice... Nigeria off the schedule ... no more need for a pretext ... so now Trump announces the Christian genocide is over.... he has taken care of it .

If he ever did care about Christians... there is a real Christian genocide happening in South Lebanon where Christians are being killed and churches destroyed and desecrated by the IDF . .... but he's silent on that

Na now una know say the werey na intentional liar?
If he could lie about this, who's the idiot that would trust hi words on the conflict in Iran?

Maybe only nairaland Americans.


My own is, why do they always have to say women and children died during all these matters? Men no follow die? Abi na because as na men dey do the killing they don't deserve sympathy?

And in matters like these, men death dey pass both women and children o.

CAN you have numbers, you can protest, picket, mobilise funds to lobby, do something. Your responsibility is protecting the 'flock', Martin Luther King, the greatest activists and freedom and equity fighter ever, was a clergy man, a pastor. You people are not playing your role.

On the issue of Christian genocide, both Trump and the bishops are clowns. Is it a Christian, then what about the faith of thousands of Muslims who are affected by the same situation.
Re: Northern CAN, Bishops Reject Trump’s Boast Of Ending ‘Christian Genocide’ by Katell: 12:18pm On Jun 28
Trump was only seeking for the attention of President Bola Tinubu, possibly to cut some deal since the latter seems determined to snub him to the grave even in the midst of using withdrawal of financial aids and imposition of heavy custom charges.

If you think Trump shouting nigerian christians because of nigerian christians, it implies you don't understand who Trump. He is no way different from nigerian politicians. And, I think his DNA needs to be checked deeply. Nigeria might actually be his ancestral home because the blood is really flowing in hm.

In all, I see him as someone with inferiority complex using force to be seen and feared. The more his bully tendencies, the more he disgraced himself. Who take him serious again ?

Clown think trump was fighting for Christian, lol Sha Venezuela and cuba is a Muslim country right.

The insecurity we suffer today can be traced to the failed lybia state most weapons use by these elements are from lybia. Then ask yourself which country made lybia what it's today and failed to rebuild it.

Tinubu already gave approval for the USA base so you expect him to cry genocide again. Lol

Trump should do more.
His assertion is not really okay.

His intervention should be continuous and consistent. These terrorists have gone rogue and bunkers.

That was then, where Trump go see bomb to bomb anyhow again when Iran has depleted US stockpiles?



geoworldedu:
Trump was not sincere with his dealings in Nigeria at all. Now I can see that he only wanted to use his deed as a mean to some ends. How can you bomb just once and say that you ended genocide? As a matter of fact, after that bomb blasting, the terrorism grew more than ten times what we were experiencing earlier. undecided
Re: Northern CAN, Bishops Reject Trump’s Boast Of Ending ‘Christian Genocide’ by Reference(m): 2:01pm On Jun 28
So what does CAN want.

They keep shifting like the sands of the Sahara.
One minute they are denying Christian genocide to be one politically correct, the next minute they are accepting there are targeted killings of Christians but foreign intervention is ineffectual.

Is CAN part of the problem or the solution or are they like the citizens of Iran who 'pretended' to want liberty only to present themselves enmasse as human shields to the mullahs when the bombs started to rain down.

Cry wolf long enough and no one will take you seriously. America should not bother a people who cannot help themselves out of Stockholm Syndrome.

You cannot do much for a people sending mixed messages. POTUS will not risk further damage to his and his government's reputation particularly in this climate of the mideast conflict.

Obviously there are folks that are campaigning vigorously to the contrary and it is the citizens that have to sort all that out by themselves.

Kindly share this story:

The Christian Association of Nigeria in the 19 northern states and the Federal Capital Territory, alongside bishops under the aegis of the Ecumenical Synods of Bishops, Archbishops, Apostles and Senior Clergy, have dismissed the claim by the United States President, Donald Trump, that the US military had ended the killing of Christians in Nigeria.

The clerics described Trump’s claim as misleading, false and detached from the realities on the ground, warning that it could trivialise the country’s persistent security crisis.

Trump, during an event in Washington on Friday, said American intervention in Nigeria played a major role in halting attacks allegedly targeted at Christian communities, particularly in areas affected by insurgency and violent extremist activities.

“As you know, we recently struck Nigeria and largely ended the slaughter of great Christian populations,” the US President said.

He described the situation before the intervention as severe, claiming that thousands of innocent people, including women, children and the elderly, had been killed in brutal attacks.

“They have a great Christian population. They were being butchered, thousands and thousands of people were being killed, children, women, old people, just being slaughtered, hacked to death,” he added.

Trump stated that the alleged military action significantly weakened those responsible for the attacks.

“They know that if they go further, the attack will be far greater and that they don’t want to really get involved anymore so much. We hit them very hard. We knocked out their leader. We knocked out their second leader and their third leader,” the US President said.

Commenting on the claim, the CAN Chairman in the 19 northern states and the Federal Capital Territory, Joseph Hayab, faulted Trump’s assertion, insisting that Nigerians, not only Christians, were still being killed and abducted across several states.

Speaking with Sunday PUNCH on Saturday, Hayab said only victims of insecurity and Christians in Nigeria could determine whether there had been any meaningful improvement in the security situation, stressing that killings and abductions were still occurring across the country.

Hayab described Trump’s statement as a political claim based on misleading information from advisers who did not understand the security situation in Nigeria.

“The right people who should tell whether Trump has succeeded should be Nigerian Christians or Northern Christians, not Trump himself. But probably he is getting his information from the wrong source. I think some of his political claims are not good enough to resolve things.

“Trump should allow the victims to make that confession, not him. The victims are the right people who can tell whether whatever he has done has yielded any success,” he said.

While acknowledging recent US military operations targeting terrorist elements, the CAN chairman said the intervention had not translated into an end to attacks on innocent Nigerians.

“The strategy Trump’s America is adopting is not good enough because after the US forces struck in Sokoto last December, they went on a long recess. They came recently again and killed some ISIS commanders, but people are still being killed here every day,” he said.

“We don’t know those who are advising or telling him stories that are not true. If they want to truly bring an end to the killing of innocent Nigerians, let them stop the propaganda or the media story and focus on the reality, because I’m not sure the victims would like this kind of claim.

“I think he needs to be properly informed about what is happening rather than claiming what is not, because if someone is still sick and in hospital and you claim that he has recovered, it means you have either been misinformed or you probably do not understand what it means to be ill.

“We want help, but the help shouldn’t be propaganda. It should be genuine help, not propaganda or misinformation. All those people who are still in bandits’ captivity in Oyo, Kwara and Kogi, what has happened? People are still in Kwara, Katsina, Borno and other states. Trump and his men can find a better story.

“We want help to bring an end to the killings, not Trump making claims for political gains. Those who are giving him information are not giving him the right one,” he added.

On their part, the Ecumenical Synods of Bishops, Archbishops, Apostles and Senior Clergy said they had yet to see any convincing evidence that the reported US intervention had achieved the desired results.

Speaking with Sunday PUNCH on Saturday, the International Secretary of the body, Archbishop Osazee William, said Nigerians were expecting a more robust intervention capable of addressing the root causes of insecurity and protecting vulnerable communities.

“I don’t seem to agree with him because, in the first place, I have yet to see evidence of that claim. I think there was a kind of warning strike in Sokoto, but I didn’t see any visible killing.

“This is not the kind of intervention we were hoping and looking forward to. We are looking at a good intervention. I saw what we had after that time,” he added.

The cleric also expressed concern over reports suggesting there might have been behind-the-scenes negotiations aimed at softening the US position on issues affecting Nigerians.

While acknowledging that a statement may have been made through the reported action, William maintained that it fell short of expectations.

“It has been rumoured that there has been a kind of high-level bargain to make the guy (Trump) soft-pedal on the issues that are paramount in the hearts of everyone in Nigeria. Is it true?

“Yes, he made the statement, but that statement alone is not good enough because the aftermath makes it clear that it (airstrike) had not really done the job we are expecting.”

The bishops called for more concrete and sustained efforts by both local and international actors to tackle insecurity and ensure the protection of lives and property across the country.
