Trump Asked For The Protection Of Both Christians And Muslims In Nigeria by Opinionated: 1:59am On May 01, 2018 |
Religion is a very volatile issue in Nigeria and United States President, Donald Trump might have inadvertently triggered off a new source of dispute between Christians and Muslims in the country. He made the following comments at the Oval Office where he held talks with President Muhammadu Buhari. “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,” Trump said. However, in his opening statement at the Rose Garden press conference, he stated: “We are deeply concerned by religious violence in Nigeria, including the burning of churches and the killing and persecution of Christians,” he pointed out. “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.” This provides more insight into the United States position about the violence in Nigeria and shows it is not taking an anti-Muslim stance when it comes to the violence ravaging the country. Therefore, it is important that Nigerians focus on our common security than engage in unnecessary squabbles over what Trump said about one religious group or the other.

First of all, am a great fan of President Trump and he inspired me into doing so many things I thought were impossible in life, but to suggest that President Trump gives a hoot about Nigeria and Africa at large would be me living in a fools paradise. There's 3 things Donald Trump cares about: 1. Himself 2. Winning the competition against Obama and the DEMs - He is always comparing his administration with the Obama's. 3. MAGA - Making America Great Again (Strictly Business) You guessed right - Trump is actually a very selfish leader. Well, so far that has been the tool he has been using to Make America Great Again. (The US has spent years and Billions of Dollars policing the world while their economy and citizens remain at the suffering end) It was in this years of policing and acting Big Daddy that countries like China came from nowhere and suddenly became a economic threat to the US. Trump doesn't give a hoot about Nigeria and whatever that is going down here, except of course if he is gonna make a name from it (I did this, I did that, bla bla bla), would help him score a cheap point against Obama and the Dems and is gonna result in more revenue for the American government. "We also have a very big trade deal that we’re working on for military equipment — helicopters and the like. We have met before. We have developed a great relationship. And we look forward to our discussion today — very important — but again, especially as it relates to terrorism. And that’s terrorism here and terrorism all over the world. It’s a hotbed, and we’re going to be stopping that" The only economy Trump cares about is that of the United States. - At a point, Trump said he would discuss with US farmers to see how they can start exporting Agricultural produce to Nigeria. (This is a country who is trying to diversify her economy with Agriculture as the main option in focus - I don't gerrit) Even Trump's body language was all about Trade! Trade!! Trade!!! It's high time Nigeria and Africa realized that it's no longer business as usual and all man is now on his own. The UK have issues they're are dealing with, the US have their own too. China are seeking ways of expanding their trade boundaries and further solidifying their position as one of the most influential economy in the world. It is now left for African countries to look inward and see how they can assembly human and capital resources for nation building and stop depending on "sugar daddies" who are only interested in what they stand to gain from you. Anyway, Nigeria's situation seems to have no remedy - a country that has been producing oil for the past 50 years, still exports crude oil and import petroleum products - wetin useless pass that one? 50 years! Haba And the demonstrations by members of the IPOB is becoming too childish. Just like Lagos, the South-east can strive to create an internal competitive economy even as a part of Nigeria and become the envy of other states - Are they serious about President Donald Trump leaving his MAGA agenda and the bazzar to secure funds for building the mexican border and preventing the caravan of asylum seekers from gaining access into the US to attend to their agitation? Mehn. who would school this fellows about the true meaning of O.Y.O? Finally, PMB did a great job during his visit. Aside the long written epistle he went to read like a 5 year old reciting nursery rhymes (You need to see President Trump's body language then - It was like Ogbeni, this your novel no dey finish ni? Tell me how much helicopter u wan buy make I announce am for my people make them know say I don dey revive the economy unlike Obama and Hilary Clinton) and his statement about Herdsmen not carrying guns. Never been this impressed. My expectation was a 3/10. But he did a 5/10. That not withstanding would not stop him from returning to Daura come 2019. 68 Likes 10 Shares |

it is sad that it had to take a president from another country to state the obvious to us you can feel the palpable silence of the Muslim bodies regarding the genocide in middle belt Christians do not kill Muslims in the name of jesus or Christianity but Muslims have killed Christians in the name of Islam and killed other Muslims (who do not believe in their sect) how many of these terrorists has been caught and decisively dealt with to serve as deterrent to others if it were christains killing Muslim in the north, what would be the reaction of Muslims. would they be as docile as christains 9 Likes 1 Share |
