"Trump Wants To Divide Nigeria" - MSSN by Okoroawusa: 12:27am On May 01, 2018
The Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria (MSSN) has faulted the United States President Donald Trump’s offer on killings in Nigeria, saying such an offer would further divide Nigeria.

The Amir (President) of the MSSN in Lagos State, Saheed Ashafa, said this in a press statement to react to the discussions between President Muhammadu Buhari and Mr Trump during the Nigerian president’s official visit to the U.S. on Monday.

During the visit, Mr Trump specifically read what could be described as a riot act to the Nigerian government, saying the “killing of Christians in Nigeria was unacceptable” to the American government.

But Mr Ashafa considered Mr Trump’s comment as one-sided and uncomplimentary, warning that Nigeria must be cautious of her relationship with the U.S.

The Muslim students’ leader alleged that Mr Trump’s comment signalled his hatred for Muslims and Islam in Nigeria.

He said, “Trump’s offer shows that he is myopic and uncivilised. The pronouncement to help fight killings of Christians in a nation where innocent souls are wasted without recourse to their affiliations is a call to separatism.



“One would wonder if Trump is not aware or deliberately ignored the murder of several Muslims in a mosque at the University of Maiduguri, or those killed in mosques in Yobe and Zamfara; and many other parts of the country.

“We should know that the offer is a reflection of Trump’s hatred for Islam and Muslims. Such offer at this point in time is divisive, ‘unafrican’ and insincere.”

Mr Ashafa urged world leaders to ignore insinuations that Muslims are not against terrorism, adding that it would be more beneficial to tackle insurgency with utmost neutrality.

While commending the calmness of President Buhari during the news conference with President Trump aired on CNN, Mr Ashafa urged him (President Buhari) to avoid negative influence in the fight against terrorism and corruption.

He added, “Let me reiterate that as Muslims we condemn and reject all forms of terrorism, insurgency and oppression in whatever name being perpetrated.

“We should also remember that in Nigeria, most families are composed of Christians and Muslims alike, just as we also have other faithful.

“Trump’s call for separatism when the world is advocating for collectivism is not a healthy offer.”

Not a smart response at all.

If we start bothering about the religions of killers before condemning them then we have lost our humanity.

The killing of anyone is not acceptable. Trump fixed his comment in the Rose Garden.

You should have just answered her question instead of all these weak attempt at hiding the truth. Most if not all of the religious inclined killings in Nigeria are perpetrated by muslims or in the name of islam. It did not start today, but as far back as the early 80s (if not earlier). Can any christian kill muslims in the north in the name of terrorism and all hell will not break loose? Mr man, I know it's hard to be objective on issues like this especially for fanatics like you but you need to accept the hard truth.

Buhari's men have fueled some of this narratives we hear today. The utterances of the police IG and minister of defence about the Benue killings were very biased and provocative.
The difference between the killings in the predominantly Muslim North East and the predominantly Christian Middle belt is this:
-Thousands were displaced by Boko Haram but they have a hope of return one day. Borno state Gov recently commissioned some houses built by UN agencies for displaced residents.
- In the middle belt it is a land grab. Even while in IDP camps the lands and farms of the indigenous inhabitants are taken over by herdsmen. The Fulani herdsmen are an army of occupation in the middle belt.

Oh really?

Going by your logic, it is okay to kill Christians as long as the people doing it claim to be Jihardists?

Sometimes, I wonder whether some people enjoy the killing of their fellow people to satisfy their craving to portray Islam in bad light.

Well, unlike you, people with a rational mind know that your kind of thinking is jot useful. Trump's collective comments today;


maclatunji:

“We have had very serious problems with Christians who are being murdered in Nigeria, we are going to be working on that problem very, very hard because we cannot allow that to happen”.

“We are deeply concerned by religious violence in Nigeria, including the burning of churches and the killing and persecution of Christians.”

“We encourage Nigeria and the federal, state and local leaders to do everything in their power to immediately secure the affected communities and to protect innocent civilians of all faiths, including Muslims and including Christians.”

.

The greatest enemies of Christians in Nigeria are Christians.

#Yeye

By the way, no matter how hard you try to smear Islam or miseducate people about it, it will still thrive. If colonialism could not stop it, dubious people hiding under Christianity definitely don't have a chance.

Nigerians are the most hypocritical people on planet earth...were was this useless group when the killings are going non unabated in the various region of Nigeria..so it took a trump for them to react abysmally like an association of drunks....So all this while Christians are killed in the middle belt they did not remember to say something talkless of taking sides...nonsense

MSSN is one of the breeding grounds for terrorists in Nigeria. The only difference between them and Almajiri/Boko Haram is education. I still have a memory of their fanatical display during their jihad week, during my university days.

I know of some guys who were denied visa to enter the US simply because their names had been entered into the US database as terrorists, right from their university days. And guess what my interactions with them afterwards indicate that they are truly extremists who could do anything that threatens US Homeland security.

It is quite shameful the PMB administration is yet to accept the fact Fulani herdsmen are responsible for genocide and large scale destruction of properties and farmland been perpetrated in Benue, Taraba, Plateau and Adamawa states.

PMB claimed that this dastardly acts are carried out by Libyans trained by late Gadaffi. That herdsmen don't carry guns. They only wheeled sticks and sometimes matches to cuts foliage for their cattle.

This blatant lie and denial is an indication of support in disguise and unwillingness to address this critical challenge.

Shame on this administration.

It's so obvious that these Muslims want the killings to continue..... They don't want to do anything about it and they don't want anyone else to talk or do something about it...

The order to resign from office given to buhari by CAN drives them insane ...they want the status quo to continue...
That's the only reason they still support Buhari

Check his fan base..... Mainly Muslims even from the west.... It's really disheartening... This country has never been this divided under any president ever...

Muslims lost their humanity long time ago, that is if they ever had one. However, since the collaborator's silence of the moslem elites on boko haram's bombing of churches and other mass killing of Christians in their early days starting with Christmas day bombing of St. Theresa's Catholic church, we Christians have lost ours too. So what are you saying?

At a point, I stopped reading this trash when I discovered it was filled with ignorance. Boko Haram is a tool for destabilization that went awry and became a monstrous terror group that couldn't be controlled again by its founders while what is going on in the middle belt and precisely Benue state is ethnic cleansing of Christians, they are different! Also, the ignorant so called student leader said that most Nigerian families has adherents of both religion, now this is false! Aside the yorubas where you find a mix of Christians and Muslims, other parts of Nigeria like the SE (99% Christians), SS (90% Christians), NW (90% Muslims) and in other regions like NE and MB, the Christians and Muslims are distinct except in few instances where a member of the family switched to either religion. Afonja Muslims and their sophistication in ignorance always amazes me, jeez!
