A fanatic would always be a fanatic. This is why the government is wasting its time rehabilitating radicalized terrorists

Nigeria internal security concerns is becoming overwhelming with troops split with external duties. How govt became insensitive till atrocious and treasonable elements made things worse is a story for another day

No sane nation would not be proactive in the heat of widespread deteriorating insecurity with rising diplomatic tensions within it neighbouring country.

The problem is getting our of hand.

Chai! What has changed Femi Fani-Kayode? The ongoing jihad onslaught you have been screaming about or you stomach concerns? The recent killings in Benue, Plateau and Southern Kaduna are old news to you?

Nah God go punish all these terrorists and their supporters who brazenly deny reality thereby mocking the wanton bloodshed and deaths of many Christians.

Hehehe! The two useless media aides Daniel Bwala and Tope Ajayi are busy denying and counter denying same.

It is understandable that Nigeria and India are both third(3rd) world countries. However, Nigeria can never be compared to India in many respects.

Thank goodness it is not Peter Obi that is saying this now. The ronu bigots would have said he is instigating people against the irresponsible govt.

The church authority has denounced the said press release but have not state its official position in respect to the unfolding development.

The evil raging the SE especially Anambra state is legendary. The evil souls behind it will surely meet their Waterloo immediately

I guess Bola Tinubu now understands what invasion of sovereignty means when he was planning to invade Niger Republic? Donald Trump should liaise with the UN to take a decisive action on the genocide in northern Nigeria especially against the Christians.

Same Buhari Trump called slowpoke that his govt have never replied till it phased out in 2023? Meanwhile the genocide was sustained during the inglorious Buhari led CPC-APC government

And I boldly say amen to it. I lost some family members and friends to multiple religious and sectarian crisis in Jos especially in 2001 and 2014 yet the wicked soul is denouncing innocent blood of my people shed?

Meanwhile, Daniel Bwala gave a press release last week to say Tinubu is going to meet Donald Trump to iron out issues. So who is lying.

To think that this man is a former Captain in the Nigerian army gives me goose pimples. Just imagine this is the same Shieik Gumi talking shit about Christain genocide in Nigeria today? God have mercy

BIZNess123:
Tinubu is the best president.. Nigeria has ever produced....

Ogbeni go rest you hear? Same Tinubu that has remained aloof even with all the killings especially of Christians in the middle belt and extreme northern Nigeria?

This is an understatement but why did the world allowed all it for this long? Many Christians have been crying out against this annihilation conquest by Islamic jihadists but the UN and other relevant global bodies have been quiet because of political expediency

Meanwhile, the milker-in-chief of the hapless Lagosians goes to France and other cosy foreign hospitals to seek healthcare

Suddenly the originator of operation phyton dance in the SE is advocating for diplomacy in the impending US offensive against his northern terrorists brothers. Can you imagine the double standards practiced by these people?

Tukur Buratai, former chief of army staff, has urged the United States to adopt a cooperative rather than coercive approach in its relations with Nigeria.

BACKGROUND
On Friday, Trump redesignated Nigeria as a “country of particular concern” over claims of Christian genocide in the country.

Hours later, Trump threatened that the “USA will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, and may very well go into that now disgraced country ‘guns-a-blazing’, to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists killing Christians”.

Subsequently, Pete Hegseth, US secretary of war, said his department is preparing for possible military action if the Nigerian government fails to end the “killing of innocent Christians” in the country.

A handful of right-wing US lawmakers, led by Ted Cruz, the senator from Texas, have repeatedly claimed that Christians are facing persecution in Nigeria.

‘PARTNERSHIP NOT COERCION’
In a statement issued on Sunday, Buratai described the Christian genocide claim as “a dangerous misrepresentation” of Nigeria’s complex realities, warning that acting on such distortions could have severe consequences for regional stability.

“The current confrontation between the United States and Nigeria, ignited by the spectre of foreign military intervention, represents a perilous crossroads.

This is a moment charged with the danger of catastrophic miscalculation, yet it also holds the potential for a more resilient and mutually advantageous alliance,” the statement reads.

“The ‘Christian genocide’ narrative is a dangerously reductive distortion of Nigeria’s intricate realities. For the United States, acting on this fallacy would be a profound strategic blunder; for Nigeria, it constitutes an existential menace.

To retreat from this brink, both nations must transcend immediate political posturing and acknowledge their fundamental, aligned interests in lasting stability and shared economic advancement.

“For the United States, a coercive, militaristic approach is a blueprint for strategic defeat. Public ultimatums and intimidation directed at a sovereign nation of Nigeria’s stature — Africa’s largest economy and most populous democracy — weaken, not strengthen, American credibility.

“This stance forcibly unites a diverse Nigeria against a common external aggressor, framing the US as a neo-colonial power instead of a trusted ally. It actively propels a nation of over 200 million people—and potentially the entire Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS)—deeper into the strategic embrace of rivals like China and Russia, who stand ready to exploit an American retreat.

“The objective of safeguarding religious liberty, however principled, will never be achieved by triggering a national collapse. A destabilised Nigeria would unleash a maelstrom of instability across West Africa, intensifying the very security and migration challenges the US aims to contain.

“The wiser, more sustainable course for the US is an unequivocal pivot from public coercion to resolute, private collaboration. This demands an immediate de-escalation of rhetoric and the replacement of threats with concrete offers of advanced intelligence collaboration, specialised counter-insurgency training, and security aid precisely calibrated to Nigeria’s unique threats in the Middle Belt and North-East.

“Most critically, this is a definitive moment for national solidarity. The threat to Nigeria’s sovereignty and corporate existence demands that every citizen, Muslim and Christian alike, rally with unwavering unity behind the government. We must present an impregnable front against external interference.

“The path forward is unequivocal. The United States must recognise that genuine partnership, not heavy-handed pressure, is the sole means to positively influence Nigeria and secure its own long-term interests in a stable and prosperous Africa.”

The former army chief urged the Nigerian government to be more assertive in defending the country’s image abroad, warning that diplomatic silence in the face of damaging narratives could become a national security risk.

Did you made a referendum with Bayelsans before you carry PDP mandate to the APC? These wicked selfish and egocentric politicians always rationalize their foolishness for God-knows-what

Suddenly every supporter of evil including the ongoing genocide against Christianity have started talking. God is always greater than all of you.

Nothing new sir. Deborah Samuel and other Christians have been gruesomely killed by Islamic terrorists in his domain and he as done nothing about it. Instead this is the same sultan back then

tundegan:
I love how Reno is now a pro-Tinubu since he started supporting Nigeria's sovereignty.....

Same Tinubu that went alongside Buhari and others to the same US in 2014 to asked the US to intervene in Nigeria's affairs? You people are irredeemable hypocrites. Meanwhile are you still in love with this same Reno Omokri?

Brendaniel:
And you could not say all these since, you had to wait for Mike Arnold and the U.S govt to expose Tinubu's govt's complicity in the genocide going on, now you want to sound like you care after denying the genocidal activities going on, please keep your fake care to yourself

My brother no blame that soulless Vallian. He got posterity to contend with.

Whao! So Nigeria insecurity is a threat to world peace Mr Reno Omokri? Thought you & the useless govt you subserve openly said that Nigerians and Nigeria is safe/secure under Tinubu? Your lying and propaganda prowess is legendary

We are yet to see any of the antagonists of the Christian genocide invade the thread to spew their nonsense as usual
