The Light that shines in darkness and darkness can't overwhelm, lead our path. Guide us with the light of your presence so much that we will never walk in darkness ever again. John 1:5 & 8:12
Amen.
God bless NIGERIA
God bless USA too.
Nigeria is not a disgraced Nation and will never be.
We thank you for your concern and openness.
Every conspiracy against Nigeria from within and without will be defeated in Jesus Holy Name.
I want to thank National Security Advisor @NuhuRibadu for a productive and positive conversation with the US Congressional delegation to Nigeria.
There were concrete steps and actions discussed at length, that if fully executed, I believe will enhance security across the country for all Nigerians, disrupt and destroy terrorist organizations in the northeast and stop the killing of Christians (a specific concern for @POTUS and myself) - particularly in the Middle Belt of the country.
I want to thank the Nigerian government and @officialABAT for rescuing the 100 innocent and precious Catholic school children. This is a positive demonstration of the government’s increasing response to the security situation and shows commitment to the emergency declaration laid out by President Tinubu.
The US’ sense of urgency on our concerns was positively received. I feel that a cooperative security framework is within sight. The now established joint task force between Nigeria and the US is a great example.
It is clear that there is an openness and willingness on the part of the Nigerian government to work with the United States to tackle these critical issues. Now, that openness has to translate to concrete action.
There is much work still to be done, but things are moving in the right direction. I look forward to the next steps with Nigerian government and the continued open dialogue.
Peace be with you all. God bless the great people of Nigeria.
Today is my 57th Birthday.
I thank God for ALL the Experiences I've had that have made me the Man I am today.
At the end of the day, "We KNOW that ALL THINGS work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to HIS Purpose."
-Romans 8:28

Jesters. Looters. Thieves. Squanderers. May these evils never happen to Nigeria again
Excuse me, in the 10 years of APC waste where was @ChibuikeAmaechi, @ProfIsaPantami and @elrufai
Please stop joking
This is a coalition of decency, competence, integrity, and honesty.
The ADC coalition will end ten years of APC disaster and create unprecedented prosperity for Nigerians.
Everywhere I go, I always take Nigeria with me. I believe in Nigeria, and urge all Nigerians to stand firm and give the right hand of fellowship to their country and its elected leaders. Your value is tied to Nigeria. Therefore, by speaking well about her, you are adding value to yourself. Even if you do not know how you can contribute to Nigeria overcoming its challenges, just believe that it will. Your faith in Nigeria is something. It is not nothing!
@ADCVanguard_@atiku@ChibuikeAmaechi@channelstv@tvcnewsng the quality of some past leaders that ruled Nigeria is appalling. How could you guys, been in power at some point for past 26yrs & then turn around to taunt us with effects of your misrule for politics. Disappointing
When I heard Senator Kevin Cramer say, "The Christians in Nigeria today are probably feeling pretty good about Donald Trump's position", I decided I had to let him understand a few things.
The Halifax International Security Forum's audience certainly enjoyed this one.
God bless you @Omojuwa Your light will never go dim.
Every conspiracy against Nigeria from within and without shall be defeated.
Many thanks for using your voice patriotically for Nigeria.
You should see this brilliant exchange between Senator @SenKevinCramer (North Dakota) and JJ @Omojuwa at the Halifax International Security Forum.
🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏
Kanu’s Conviction: At a Time Like This.
The news of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s conviction should compel every well-meaning Nigerian to pause and reflect. This is coming at a time when our beloved nation is facing severe economic hardship, insecurity, and the consequences of poor governance.
Rather than reducing tension, this unfortunate development may well only aggravate it.
I have always maintained that Mazi Kanu should never have been arrested. His arrest, detention, and now conviction represent a failure of leadership and a misunderstanding of the issues at stake.
For years, I have consistently argued that dialogue, constructive engagement, and inclusive governance offer the path to lasting peace. Coercion becomes necessary only when reason has been exhausted. In this case, I submit that the reason was not only not exhausted, but was probably not explored at all, or not fully explored.
The concerns Kanu raised were not unheard of. The issues for which he demanded solutions were not insoluble. It only required wisdom, empathy, and a willingness to listen. In any functional society, such grievances are met with dialogue and reforms aimed at strengthening unity.
The government’s approach has only deepened mistrust and created an avoidable distraction at a time when citizens are overwhelmed by harsh economic realities and insecurity. While some may insist that “the law has taken its course,” leadership often demands more than a strict, mechanical application of the law. Nations around the world resort to political solutions, negotiated settlements, and even amnesty when legal processes alone cannot serve the broader interest of peace and stability. Nigeria is not an exception.
The handling of Kanu’s case mirrors the government as a man trapped in a hole but who, instead of looking for a way out, keeps digging deeper. It worsens not only the government’s predicament but also the nation's collective condition.
If we truly desire a new Nigeria - a united, peaceful, and progressive one, our leaders must choose healing over hostility, reconciliation over retaliation, and dialogue over division. Only by addressing grievances with justice, fairness, and compassion can we move towards a future where every Nigerian feels heard, valued, and safe.
My ultimate call at this time, without prejudice to how anyone feels about the decision of the court, is for us to be optimistic for peace and reconciliation which will come in the end. I am also saying, thereby, that the Presidency, the Council of State and credible statesmen who love this country and who are interested in cohesion and inclusivity, should rise to the occasion, for a lasting solution. -PO
As professional journalists, Arise TV crew should desist from twisting facts known already in public domain. Nnami Kanu's outburst in court is consistent with his violent incitements in his broadcasts. There is no psychological or psychiatric issue here. He is an angry character
Sentencing of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu: Judiciary’s Firm Stand Proves Nigeria Is a Nation of Laws — Ugwummadu
This practice of pardoning individuals who take up arms and rebel against the state began with the Niger Delta militants. Some of us warned that granting pardons without the necessary repercussions, restitution or punishment would only encourage impunity. Nigeria has now acted correctly by asserting the authority of the judiciary and demonstrating that this is a country governed by law.
Lawyer, Malachy Ugwummadu
Since you know that our president is muslim and Islam commad them to kill all Christians, you must have heard how he recently 'slaughtered his wife and children on national Tv' You don't know a thing about my country Nigeria, so just SHUT UP.
Why are you naive enough @RepRileyMoore to think that the Islamic government of Nigeria is actually going to take steps to protect Christians?
Muslims are commanded in the Quran to kill non-Muslims who they view as cattle.
Nigeria has a Muslim President.
You keep talking about how you want to save Christians, but you won’t address the root of the problem.
Islam.
Nothing will change till our GOP lawmakers aren’t bought and paid for by Qatar, Saudi Arabia and other rich Arabs and they actually start speaking truth about Islam and how Islam is a supremacist ideology that calls for all non-Muslims to convert or be killed.
I’m tired of the grand standing.
If you won’t speak about Islam, then just stop now because you won’t get anywhere.
Listen carefully to this brilliant Igbo Lawyer.
I love where she said, "Influencers should be careful..." Especially, Obi Cubana, Mr P and co
Well-analysed and unbiased opinion on Nnamdi Kanu trial. Her name is Awele Ideal
US Congressional Hearings. The Truth is bringing clarity. “…Violence affects everyone and false narratives perpetuate harmful stereotypes …”Nigeria will overcome under President Bola Tinubu @officialABAT @OfficialAPCNg @GbengaGOLD
@whitenigerian I can't agree with you more. Her insight revealed a deeper understanding of the Nigerian insecurity issue. God bless her and all who seek peace genuinely for Nigeria. All conspiracy against Nigeria from within and without shall be defeated.
American hypocrisy. All of a sudden Nigerian Christians becomes their 'brothers and sisters in Christ'
The Lord will defeat every conspiracy againt Nigeria, both from within and without
A theatre of absurdity is when: A rap!st, convicted felon, bully and a good for nothing narcissist character who claims to be fighting a 21st century crusade in favor of Christianity, welcomed a known terrorist to the White House who has killed more Christians than any terrorist in the last 25 years.
You all should be ashamed of yourself.
I am a Christian living in Nigeria. My Country Nigeria is not a dangerous place to be a Christian.
I practice my faith freely and serve God without fear.
Insecurity in Nigeria is not about faith.
I pray God destroy all conspiracy against Nigeria both from within & without
Nigeria is the most dangerous place in the world to be a Christian.
50,000-100,000 of our brothers and sisters in Christ have been martyred since 2009 in Nigeria. 7,000 have been murdered this year alone. That’s 35 Christians murdered per day.
Thank you @POTUS for designating Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern to end this bloodshed, and for tasking me to lead this investigation in the House.
Thank you @CatholicArena for helping to shed light on this genocide!
This guy @MikeArnoldTruth is evil. Any reasonable citizen of this Country should never listen to such pathetic lier. What is their interest in Nigeria? To see her citizens bearing arms against one another, so they can come for our God-given resources. Their conspiracy has failed.
That this pathetic class clown is regarded by some Nigerians as a voice of reason while he promotes a divisive agenda between Muslims and Christians in the name of some dubious fact-finding cause is a troubling indictment of our critical thinking tradition. If you were to drop a nickel into the skull that houses the brain producing this nonsense, I have no doubt it would echo.
GENOCIDE AGAINST NIGERIAN CHRISTIANS – MY HONEST PERSPECTIVE @SenTedCruz
Insecurity is one topic I would rather avoid - a terrain I approach with trembling caution - because when the matter concerns the lives of humans, especially Nigerians, those who dare to speak must tread softly upon sacred ground. Such conversations must be guided by empathy, tempered by reason, and sanitized of partisanship. For when emotion trumps logic, truth becomes the casualty.
And so, I choose to abide by this noble creed which I have laid for myself - to set aside party loyalties and even my unshakable affection for our leader, the President - and, for this moment, speak purely as a bonafide Nigerian. This reflection shall therefore be without partisan bias and void of personal sentiment.
IS THERE A GENOCIDE AGAINST CHRISTIANS IN NIGERIA?
WHAT IS GENOCIDE?
To dissect any subject meaningfully, one must first define its anatomy, lest meaning becomes a mirage and emotion replaces evidence.
Under the 1948 Genocide Convention, genocide is not merely the mass killing of people - no. Genocide is defined by specific intent: the deliberate attempt to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group. That intent - what jurists call dolus specialis - must be proven, not presumed.
Numbers don’t make a genocide; motive does. Just as a massacre cannot be declared merely because a DJ claimed she “lifted corpses while bullets flew endlessly,” so too genocide cannot be claimed without evidence of deliberate extermination.
WHO ARE THE ACTORS IN THESE VIOLENCE?
To diagnose a drama, one must first name the cast. For in identifying the dramatic personnel, the plot becomes clearer, and the motives, less mysterious.
In my youth, whenever a movie poster displayed Ramsey Nouah and Genevieve Nnaji, we knew instantly that romance was afoot - no need to glance at the title. But when the poster featured Pete Edochie or Chiwetalu Agu, one could wager it was either a land dispute or a journey through ritual fires.
So it is with Nigeria’s insecurity. Once you unveil the actors, the story reveals itself.
The key actors in this tragic theatre of chaos are:
1.Boko Haram / ISWAP in the Northeast
2.Bandits and Criminal Gangs in the Northwest
3.Fulani Militants / Herdsmen in the Middle Belt
Each actor plays a different role, with a distinct motive and method.
WHAT DRIVES THESE VIOLENT ACTORS?
Here lies the first flaw in the argument of our so-called “concerned friends” in the United States - they paint Nigeria’s complex insecurity with a single, lazy brushstroke, ignoring the multiple layers of motives and realities.
Let’s begin with Boko Haram.
Formed in 2002 by Mohammed Yusuf in Maiduguri, its ideology is written in its name. “Boko” (Western education) - “Haram” (forbidden). To them, Western learning was pollution, a corruption of the Islamic soul. Yusuf sold Boko Haram as a moral protest against what he saw as a corrupt Nigerian state, using sermons and debates as his tools of persuasion.
But in 2009, when security forces killed Yusuf and hundreds of his followers in a brutal crackdown, something dark was born from the ashes - the group transformed from an ideological movement to a vengeful militia. The pen gave way to the gun; the preacher became the avenger.
On September 7, 2010, Boko Haram launched its first major assault - a prison break in Bauchi State, freeing over 700 of its members. Hundreds died that day.
Now, to our American friends: shall we assume the Bauchi prison held only Christians? Or that the bullets magically avoided Muslim inmates?
Then came June 16, 2011 - Nigeria’s first-ever suicide car bombing, at the Abuja Police Headquarters. Dozens perished. The target? A national institution - not a church. Tell us, dear USA, did the Police Headquarters bear a “Christians Only” signboard?
And then, August 26, 2011 - the United Nations Headquarters
