The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has criticised US President Donald Trump’s comments on the killing of Christians in Nigeria.

During a joint press conference with President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday, Trump said the US will not accept the attacks on Christian communities in Nigeria.

Reacting to the US president’s position, MURIC urged Nigerian Christians to “not allow themselves to be deceived by Trump”.

The Muslim group said Trump misfired by making the statement and alleged that he “is only using religion to turn Nigeria into another Iraq”.

MURIC warned Nigerian Christians against “swallowing Trump’s bait”, else the West African sub-region will “be shaken to its foundation”.

In a statement on Tuesday, Ishaq Akintola, director, MURIC, said Trump’s statement “is prejudiced, parochial and unpresidential”.

Akintola said Trump, by virtue of the comment, “is luring Nigerian Christians into bolder confrontation” with Muslims.

“It is sheer interference in the internal affairs of a sovereign nation. Trump has a bully’s instinct,” the statement read in part.

“If this is the same Trump who called African countries ‘shithole’, the same American president who threatened to wipe out North Korea, the same US leader who banned Muslims from entering his country, the same Republican who said, “Torture works, ok folks?”, Nigerians must be wary of America’s involvement in their affairs.

“We should remember that Nigeria did not get the required support from the moderate and cool-headed Barrack Obama in its war against terrorism. We should therefore not expect any from Trump who treats vulnerable nations with contempt and has no respect for African countries. Unless Nigerians unite, this country will become America’s ‘shithole’.

“Trump’s comment on killings in Nigeria implies that he would prefer that it is Muslims alone who are being killed. We refuse to believe that a whole American president does not know the true situation on ground in this country. He who knows but pretends not to know has his own secret agenda. Nigerian Muslims are not intimidated by Trump’s comment. We only sympathise with those who will be gullible enough to become Trump’s ‘suckers’. Posterity will judge us.

“Nigerian Christians should not allow themselves to be deceived by Trump’s comment. The advanced countries of today will not compromise the secret of their technological advancement. Western countries will not teach us what will benefit our people. They will only teach us what will divide us in order to further render us debilitated, impoverished and helpless.

“Nay, they will give us fish but refuse to teach us how to fish. They will scatter us like wild oats and then give us weapons to kill ourselves. Then, under the guise of rendering humanitarian services, they will take over our land, our oil, our rich culture and force homosexualism and lesbianism down our throats but at that time, it will be too late to resist. Mark our words.

“Trump is only using religion to turn Nigeria into another Iraq. Just as former US President Bush used Sunni-Shiite dichotomy to destroy Iraq just to lay his hands on Iraq’s oil field, Trump is also eyeing Nigeria’s oil. His plan is to use Christian-Muslim divide to set Nigeria ablaze. But Nigerians should remember that decades after the invasion of Iraq, that country is yet to experience stability. Years after the killing of Ghadaffi, Libya is yet to find its feet. The guns are still booming in Syria and the world holds its breadth each time North Korea sneezes.

“It is our contention that Trump is luring Nigerian Christians into bolder confrontation with their Muslim neighbours. We warn that the West African sub-region will be shaken to its foundation if Nigerian Christians swallow Trump’s bait. The extension to Nigeria of America’s crusade which brought ruins to Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Libya and Sudan will have dire consequences on the whole African continent.

MURIC urged the federal government not to rely on US support to tackle the security challenges in Nigeria and also warned against a military alliance with the US

lol......so all of a sudden muric and mssn are scared of the international community.......buhari shot himself in the leg by meeting with trump.....pls Nigeria needs the attenttion of the world powers.....Usa...Britain...france...russia.....china.....un...common wealth....and all other powerful world bodies....pls come to Nigerians chritian aid.....the persecution is too much.

What was the reaction of these f**cking muslim association when christians were massively mudered......churches burnt.......Igbos massively killed by their terrorist hero(buhari).....they keep quiet and act like nothing is happening......all of a sudden.....they r crying because there's a possibility that help is coming....for Christians.

Uniting Nigeria is the killing of christains.......bombing of churches......killing of Igbos....while trump opposition to the persecutions of christians is dividing Nigeria according to muslim associations.

Nigeria should turn to iraq....iran....afghanista....libya......if it will get d international community's attention.

This terrorist group has come again.

What was your reaction when Christians are been massacred in the north ?
Did you people condemn the killings ? No, rather you were rejoicing behind closed doors that population of Nigerian Christians is reducing so as to easily execute your demonic agenda.

Thank God for Trump for speaking out.
Buhari should call his fellow terrorist brother to order. Any further attempt to unleash genocide against innocent poor Christians in the north spells doom for this this country.
No idiot should cry that the sovereignty of his nation is being trampled upon when the chips are down .
The warning has been given , you have two alternatives. ..Obey or get crushed
MURIC should stop covering the obvious truth with their useless epistle.

Buhari and Prof Akintola are terrorists !

Lalasticlala mynd_44

I hate Xtianity and Islam with passion.
When the Nigeria government killed hundreds of Igbo in the north. The Christians won't talk. Even when they all know that it is bad, they will hail the government.
Today, The same government used operation Python dance and kill xtians because they seek their self-determination.
When the same government started killing Middle beltans in numbers, they call it Islamization Agenda.
Hypocrisy!

Akintola and his MURIC always sound like these terrorist organisation listing out their usual fatwa.



buhari should know that Trump wasn't joking and he will take action



All hail Trump

must the man have something to say every time

Jus imagine

Bia Bia Muric advising human being!

MURIC knowS something about this killings

What has being a Muslim added to this nation. Soldiers had raided churches, gunmen killed church members and priests. You brainless group said nothing. Were it be two Islamic cleric were killed during the morning prayers and members killed, you will know how painful it is. Instead of you to condemn the killing, you are spewing rubbish. Killer religion.......

Nigerians should rather not fall for Ishaq Akintola's deceit.


He is a mole of the APC and campaigned vigorously for them in the last elections, something he has resumed again.


Have you ever heard MURIC condemn the killings by the herdsmen?

What has MURIC done to stop the senseless killings.Their likes were silent when boko haram started cause they were attacking Christians before they pounced on muslims so also they have not been condemning this killings cause its affecting Christians

Why are you telling me,
Tell trump now,
U don't know his Twitter handle....
