Look at the number of retweets on this particular tweet just because the people abducted are Muslim travelers.
Imagine the amount of propaganda and hate speech Nigerian Christians would push if the people abducted were Christian travelers.
But since they’re Muslims, it’s calm
THIS WILL NOT TREND.
IT DOESN’T FIT THEIR FALLACIOUS NARRATIVE.
Thanks Mr Theophilus Manga.

PRESS STATEMENT BY THEOPHILUS MANGA
Bringing to the Attention of Nigerians and the Visiting United States Fact-Finding Team:
The Unreported Killings in Bachama Land
As a Christian and a concerned citizen of Adamawa State, I, Theophilus Manga, feel compelled to draw the attention of Nigerians and the visiting United States fact-finding delegation to a troubling and largely unreported tragedy unfolding in our region.
In recent months, the Bachama people—predominantly Christians—have been subjected to repeated killings and violent attacks by the group locally known as the Chobos.
This is a painful reality that has, unfortunately, been met with disturbing silence from many quarters, including some sections of the media and even certain Christian clerical circles who ordinarily speak loudly on matters of injustice.
It is important to state clearly that this is not a religious conflict between Christians and Muslims. This is a Christian-on-Christian violence, a painful internal tragedy affecting communities who share the same faith background, cultural bonds, and historical coexistence. Yet, because it does not fit into the popular national narrative, it has been ignored, downplayed, or completely omitted from national discourse.
Our nation must understand that every Nigerian life matters, and selective empathy or selective outrage only deepens divisions and undermines justice. When a community is attacked, whether Christian, Muslim, or otherwise silence becomes complicity.
I therefore call on:
1. The Nigerian media to rise to its responsibility by reporting these injustices with accuracy, fairness, and courage.
2. Christian leaders and organizations to speak up, condemn the killings, and support peaceful resolution efforts.
3. The United States fact-finding team to investigate and document this often-ignored dimension of violence in the Middle Belt, and ensure it forms part of their engagement with local and national authorities.
4. The Federal and State Governments to take urgent steps to protect the Bachama communities, ensure accountability, and prevent further bloodshed.
Our prayer is for peace, justice, and truth. Silence is no longer an option. The lives lost deserve recognition, and the survivors deserve protection.
Signed:
Theophilus Manga

@Abdalla_Nangere Thank you so Mallam Abdalla for your effort in defending world class scholars even in death. We urged @HumAngle_ to do the needful, please.
Yesterday during the Nigeria vs. Gabon game, while walking to the other side of the pitch after halftime, I saw some banners and placards, and I noticed some of them calling my name. I was like, do they have a Pooja Nation in Morocco?
But to my surprise, it was a very serious issue. Sigh.
One of the students said that the Nigerian Bilateral Education Agreement Scholars under the Federal Government have been abandoned in Morocco for over 15 months without payment.
The issue is so critical that they've lost one student to illness because they can't afford his medical bills.
I told them I would use my platforms to help them if the relevant authorities would see it.
Please RT & the relevant authorities attend to it.
Dear @realDonaldTrump
You have been badly hurt by agents and Media houses who paddle FAKE NEWS against you, you claimed FAKE NEWS contributed greatly and made you lost your election bid. You acted wrongly about Nigeria. Your Consulate Gen can tell you this.
