UK told to stop sending foreign aid to Nigeria after mass killing of Christians

More than half of people (53 percent) want British aid to Nigeria made conditional on measures protecting Christians, a new Savanta ComRes poll shows.

Nearly six out of 10 respondents (58 percent) backed sanctions against human rights abusers.

The poll comes as concern mounts about atrocities carried out by Boko Haram and the region’s version of the so-called Islamic State.

There was also strong support for lobbying the UN to send peacekeeping forces into parts of Nigeria (53 percent).

Two in five UK adults (39 percent) say they expect the UK to speak out against violence towards Christians in Nigeria.

The poll of more than 2,000 adults, commissioned by humanitarian organisation PSJ UK, also found that more than one in four people (26 percent) of people would support Britain intervening with military force in parts of Nigeria, although 35 percent were opposed.

Ayo Adedoyin, PSJ UK’s chief executive, said: “For too long, Nigeria’s Christians have been silently slaughtered. Their cries have been ignored by the mainstream media and political establishment, both in Nigeria and across the Western world.

“There will be no peace in Africa until Nigeria, the continent’s largest economy and breadbasket of the future, can defend each of its citizens, particularly the most vulnerable. While we cannot underestimate the threat of Covid-19, it is undeniable that Islamic terrorism has posed a bigger threat to Nigerian society at the start of 2020.

“The poll findings are highly encouraging, particularly as they indicate a strong expectation of British involvement to solve this crisis. Sanctions on high-profile rights abusers who contribute towards or permit the mass killing of innocent Christians is a good place to start, and I commend the British public for supporting this measure.”

A spokesman for the Department for International stressed that aid does not go directly to the government of Nigeria, stating: "We are deeply concerned by human rights abuses against all Nigerians, including Christians, and have raised our concerns at the highest levels of the Nigerian government. Nigeria has millions of people living in extreme poverty, and it is right that the UK provides life-saving humanitarian support to vulnerable people in need.”

They are the reason

The UK giving Nigeria aids are the bigger thieves because they know much more than is the citizens.


Our leaders don't care about us. It's just that we are too blind to notice this.

uk giving Nigeria aid is a way uk govt officials embezzle and loot their own funds

Nigeria should just break up or restructured. Every state governor lead your people the way you like

The truth be told, it is only the Christians in Nigeria that can fight their fight in the land....the more reason it is so rampant is due to the fact that they think and believe that Christian will never raise a finger no matter the level of killings....the earlier Christians rise against brutality the better it will be for the country at large.....

Ch ft

With all the internal looting of funds, Nigeria does not deserve any foreign aid. Bloody thieves.

We must value life beyond all these petty sentiments

The unfortunate aspect is that the Nigerian president is deliberately looking the other way

They can invade ASAP to save people's lives cause it's obvious that this government does not value it!!!

Think very carefully about this, western countries rarely invade for altruistic reasons nowadays. Invasion might mean turning the country to another Libya or Iraq where they depose the current government but leave the place an ungovernable wasteland.

I hope you know how to hold an AK well.

After Sadam Hussein's death, Iraq don fall

It's alright. This government looting sef get season 23. That's enough for them to even stop the aid

Finally, until we lose value out there we won't get sense

Most African countries don't need aid. Sending them aid is enabling the rot and corruption in those countries.

Look at the billions that are being looted, is it not enough to take this country from third world to developed country?

Rwanda that is being given aid by Netherlands is paying 34million pounds to advertise on Arsenal Jersey.

The west should stop sending aids to Africa. Una no wan make we ever progress. Give us aids but steal times 100 of it. Bastards

Long over due

Good

Since bu is on a genocide mission against christians then it's long overdue


Any Christian that thinks bu loves christians and is not on an Islamic agenda is a 21st century fool


He hates christians with perfect hatred.how do I know? his body language, silence and actions have said so.


Abi you don't know silence in itself is a message.


Christians you're living in the midst of your enemies WATCH AND PRAY

Makes no difference. It's not as if the masses ever benefit from such AID. The people dey give it too loot it. Na una problem b dat. Enablers of evil regimes doing eye service.

Which aid?

in everything we do, we should also think bout what the consequence or impact will be on us and the society....i believe we should be asking for help not stopping it

Lol.. wahala. .. our politicians won't be happy about this o

Us and Uk fund these killings directly or indirectly.

When shall things be right in this country.

those that support APC especially simpleleo hope u are happy hearing this?

Okay

The yeye UK started this by lumping us together, they should finish it by helping us break up or they should just continue where they stopped by re-colonizing Nigeria before China does

it won't

Nigeria needs a UN backed and appointed administration to carry out a referendum to determine our continuous existence as a country. Nigeria have never worked, Nigeria is not working now and there's no single hope that Nigeria would work in the future.

For me most killings in Nigeria are not directly segregating Muslim from Christian or athiest

Boko Haram just attack and start shooting in communities, same as Fulani herdsmen

No serving or hopeful politician will support breaking. Only the people and the insolvency of the country can cause that to happen. And the present government is leading us to it in every perfect sense.

Almangiri Republic of Nigeria. (West African Show of shame upon Black people)

Since independence, no single state has achieved UBE.

Sure way to go back to recolonisation. By hungry empty, no natural resources yet financially rich Britain.

I am not proud of Nigeria, Godforbid
