President Obasanjo once told El-Rufa'i thus:
"Listen, let me tell you- you know , you have three problems. Each one of them is enough of a problem by itself , but you have all the three. Your first problem is that you are very clever. People generally do not like clever people. You are clever . That alone will attract you enemies."
"But you have a second problem - your second problem is that you look clever. One look at your face and a person knows that this one is very clever, and that is a bigger problem. Look at me . In my time, I was not as clever as you are. I have gone through your grades in school. You are very bright. You got A's in high school , A's in A levels, first class honours. I did not go to University but I took my high school graduation exams a year in advance and I also got A's so I was also clever in school. But I am lucky - God gave me a not -so- clever face . People think I am stupid . So you can not look at me and know what is going on in my brain. But in your own case , you do not have that luck. You know what I do? I behave like a bushman. See what that has done to me. I am here , far smarter people than me are out there. There is nothing you can do about your face, but you can reduce the enemies you have by avoiding the the problem of being too clever."
"Your third problem - you speak clever, you act clever , you are impatient with people who are not as smart as you. You talk down to them. You do those things. So you have these these three problems... You are smart ; you look smart, talk and act smart. Many people will not like you. You must learn to look simple ,to be patient with people who can't think as fast as you . You must learn to talk less and listen more and agree even more with not -so- clever people. Unless you do that, you will continue to have problems and it is my duty to protect you, and develop you, because you are a good person..."-

@rilwan_ola01@tdiyela Lopsided scholarship…. I don’t support Dangote’s move … yes his kids went to School in Nigeria, … yes there are scholarships but only the rich who can actually afford these schools get them… another side to corruption… so let’s be frank they are pursuing each other …
@SaharaReporters The problem started when we named it “Fulani’ herdsmen… a criminal is a criminal- no need for tribal connections- try that and these criminals will be flushed out- from north, south , east or west . Shalom ☮️
👆🏼…. Let’s call a spade a spade…. A criminal is a criminal not a Hausa man, or Igbo man, or Yoruba….. so is a terrorist, not a Muslim or a Christian…. Just a terrorist… until we agree to stop name calling, our problem is Nigeria will hardly be solved.
Today, I ran into a Hausa man who was selling belts. He flaunted them before me when he walked towards where I parked my car. I quickly remembered that I needed a belt for my son.
.
I bought two and asked for the man's account number. He gave me and I did a transfer of 3k. And when he confirmed receipt, I threw the the belts into my car and walked away.
.
This evening when I got home, I saw a paper conspicuously tucked into the wiper of my car. I sensed it was a message for me.
.
In the paper was boldly written; PLEASE CALL THIS NUMBER 070.... IT IS URGENT.
.
I dialed the number but it was not answered at the other end. I gave up after two attempts.
.
At dinner, I settled down to go through my phone while I munched my food with smooth appetite. Then to my consternation and shock, I found instead of the 3k I was to pay for the belt, I had sent 30k!
.
Food suddenly turned to sawdust in my mouth immediately. My eyes shot out of their sockets like popcorns. My arms and feet felt like bicycle senews! My head a half filled bucket of water spinning or dangling like a pendulum.
.
How and where in God's name will I ever run into Aboki again? I thought helplessly. And if I ever did, how would I recognize him?
.
That was how I left my food and went upstairs to bemoan my fate. 30k in this APC era!
.
To cut a long story short, I just got a return call from the number on the paper tucked into my wiper minutes later. The voice of a lady greeted me.
.
"Good evening, yes I called because I found the number on my car." I mumbled into the mouthpiece.
.
The lady introduced herself as a POS agent. A belt seller had told her to transfer 27k to the owner of the car who bought two belts from him. He had waited for nearly two hours hoping he would see me come and drive away but I never returned. He narrated how I mistakenly transferred 30k to him and demanded that she write her number for him so he could tuck it into my car.
.
How he cleverly designed this means to reach me and return my 27k is still a mystery to me. I am just here wondering why some people are giving up on Nigeria when there are still good people like this fellow.
.
May God bless him and his generation. Indeed there are just two tribes of people on the surface of the earth; the GOOD and the BAD. This man belongs to the good tribe.
.
I can confidently say he is my BROTHER or KINSMAN. I could offer him free land in my village to farm and live in.
.
Until we begin to tread on the paths of life with this kind of mindset, we will be doomed by the hate and selfishness emanating from the coven of religion, tribe, race and tongue which will only continue to divide us.

SINGAPORE WAS BUILT BY AFRICA
In 1964, the founding Prime Minister of Singapore, Lee Kuan Yew, undertook a 35-day journey across 17 African countries, including Nigeria. He returned with a clear vision of how to not run a newly independent country.

Good to see that the U.S. government officials, following their engagements with Nigerian officials led by Malam Nuhu Ribadu, are now getting a clearer and more accurate picture of Nigeria’s complex security situation.
Conclusion
A balance even in vocabulary is always important for proper understanding of any situation. Muslims in Nigeria are learning so since President Trump assigned himself the role of Peter the Hermit. They must learn the art of nagging and complain endlessly as their Christian counterparts do. Finally, they must adopt the Nigerian vocabulary of conflict reporting, naming the religious identity of their attackers and victims, whether Christians or Muslims. Only this would open the eyes of the Internet to their suffering, bring their victims to the notice of researchers and catch the attention of the West and global institutions.
With this egalitarian balance of nomenclature, the world would see a better picture of conflicts in Nigeria and assist the country in overcoming its problems. Without it, the narrative will remain one-sided and the Muslims in Nigeria will always be blamed—and punished—for crimes over which they do not have monopoly.
20 November 2025
— Numan massacre (November 2017) – Hundreds of Fulani Muslims killed by Bachama Christian militias.
All of the above gruesome Christian-on-Muslim killings are called ethnic clashes, reprisals, intercommunal violence, farmer-herder conflict, youth violence or mob attack. When Muslims attack Christians, often in defence or reprisal, it is called Islamic violence, jihad, Christian genocide or religious persecution. The asymmetry is astonishing and it is not without its reasons and motives.
Reasons
The naming bias exists because Western institutions are Christian, culturally, and so is the Nigerian media predominantly. This tilts their sympathies, metaphors and moral instincts toward Christian victims. A Muslim killed in Kuru is a Nigerian villager; a Christian killed in Jos is a Christian.
The evangelical world and funding structure of NGOs also share a quota of the biased narrative. Organizations like CSW, Genocide Watch, Open Doors, WWW, ICC Evangelicals, name them, are Christian and their reports are the fodder of CNN, US Congress, BBC, and form the basis of Western narrative. Muslims are not blessed with such infrastructure of global lying and propaganda.
Then Christian traders of conflict especially from the Northcentral, IPOB secessionist, and evangelical entrepreneurs feed this inverted narrative for the purpose of gaining NGO sympathy, Western evangelical funding, UN, US and UK political pressure, diplomatic leverage as well as weapons and security alliances. Moreover, foreign governments are easily animated by the mention of religious persecution rather than ethnic conflict.
There is also this strange desperation to prove Christian persecution in Nigeria which, for lack of sufficient data, is compelling many Christian clerics and politicians to claim Muslim victims as Christians. A picture of a Muslim burial is tagged “Muslim murder 25 Christians in latest violence across Nigeria—Pastor killed, churches torched.” In the instance of the kidnapping of 25 girls from a secondary school in Kebbi, even American officials and former Rep. Riley Moore are insinuating that they are Christians. Fortunately, to forestall any false claim, the school has just released the names of the victims: 100% Muslim.
The same thing with the killings in Bama, abductions in Katsina, and so on. We hope they will not claim that General Alkali and Brig. M. Uba are Christians too. Some people sabi lie. A reverend just told the Internet world that he carried out 70 mass burials, some up to 500 people in mass graves—he alone, he claimed. Where are the graves? No answer. Chineke! IPOB have also jumped into the fray. I watched a video showing cattle grazing while a group of masked men, speaking Hausa with a heavy Igbo accent, claimed to be Fulani terrorists ready to kill Christian Igbo.
Finally, let us also not forget the frequency of complaint and the readiness to exaggerate. Muslims hardly complain over and over when they are killed. They shout once, mourn for three days and carry on, “leaving everything to God.” Christians, on the other hand, as a Christian TikTok girl said, see it as an opportunity to complain, at home and abroad, for the reasons I just mentioned. The Internet algorithms will then definitely be in favour of the Christian narrative.
In the end, a false portrait is painted—that Christians are being wiped out everywhere; Muslims are never victims; Christians never kill; and Muslims kill for religion but Christians for “land” and “in clashes.”

Genocide Nomenclature in Nigeria
By Aliyu U. Tilde
International perception of religious conflicts in Nigeria is influenced by a propaganda that is overwhelmingly based on biased naming of their victims and perpetrators. When you search the Internet for the killing of Muslims in Nigeria by Christians, the best result you can get would be very scanty. But when you ask about Christian genocide, killings, etc., the result would be very lengthy. Something is amiss.
It is not that Muslims are not being killed by Christians or fellow Muslims. For twenty years, before Boko Haram and bandits started killing mostly Muslims, wholesale massacres of Muslims have been taking place in Northcentral Nigeria especially. And the mass killings have continued even after 2009 when Boko Haram appeared. However, the Internet turns blind when you search for them. Therefore, international observers hardly remember them and researchers hardly notice them. The reason is in the name.
Same Crime, Different Names
When the victim is a Christian, media reporters, who are predominantly Christians in the country, call them Christians, even in a conflict that may have nothing to do with religion. The headlines will quickly read: Fulani kill Christians, Christian communities attacked, genocide of Christians, etc. The Internet sees only what is posted.
On the flip side, when the victims are Muslim, they are given neutral names: villagers, worshippers, civilians, locals, people, Nigerians, etc. The 25 abducted Kebbi school girls are called “school children”, not “Muslim school children”. Their religious identity is cancelled, deleted or hidden deliberately. So when any scholar or reader searches the Internet on Muslim killings or genocide, he hardly gets much.
Again, if the attackers are Muslim, they are eagerly reported as Islamists, jihadists, Fulani (Muslim) militants, terrorists, etc. The Internet easily apprehends them and hands them over to the researcher who receives them with delight and uses them as the statistics of his own narrative, thus multiplying the spread of the bias.
However, if the perpetrators are Christian-affiliated, they are reported as youths, tribal militias, unknown gunmen, attackers, mob, etc. The Christian identity is deleted, hidden and allowed to escape the policing of the Internet.
Thus, the Internet-dependent world of today, as was the mainstream Christian southern press, is afflicted with the illusion that Christians are always the target, and Muslims always the perpetrators, which is false by history, statistics and morality.
Forgotten Massacres of Muslims
The Internet hardly reflects the following carefully planned and executed war crimes against Muslims by their Christian neighbours:
— Kasuwan Magani (1981) – The first major religious crisis began with the nocturnal attack of innocent Muslims by Christians.
— Kafanchan crises (1987, 1999) – Multiple waves of massacres of Muslims.
— Zangon Kataf (1992) – So horrendous that Christian leaders were convicted and a retired General was sentenced to death.
— Tafawa Balewa recurring pogroms (1991, 1995, 2000, 2001) – Ending in the cleansing of the town of its Muslim founders and majority.
— Plateau crises (2001, 2004, 2008, 2010, 2012) – More than 40 Muslim settlements were wiped out.
— Yelwa massacre (May 2004) – Exceptionally barbaric; the Christian President suspended the Governor and declared a state of emergency.
— Southern Kaduna (2011) – In Matsirga, Zonkwa, Kachia, and many other southern Kaduna towns where over 1,200 Muslims were killed by Christian militias.
— Wukari crises (2013–2014) – Jukun Christian militias carried out mass slaughter of Muslims.
— Taraba/Jalingo/Ardo Kola (2012–2017) – Entire Muslim communities wiped out.
— Mambilla Plateau massacre (June 2017) – 727 Muslim Fulani herders massacred under the supervision and protection of Christian officials of Sardauna LGA and Taraba State Government.

It is amazing to me that one Goldie Ghamari that was removed from Doug Ford's Conservative caucus for her islamaphobic remarks and whose law licence was revoked by the Law Society of Ontario because of professional misconduct and corruption against one of her own clients can be given the opportunity to express her manifest ignorance and perverse views about Nigeria and world affairs on a platform like @PiersUncensored.
She was kicked out of Canadian politics after being an MP precisely because everyone stopped taking her seriously and recognised her for the puerile, infantile and emotionally unbalanced harpee that she is.
Not only is she a vicious and unrepentant extremist and religious bigot but she is also given to stoking fear and division wherever she goes.
Her views on the Palestinians, Gaza, Iran and Israel confirm the fact that she is not only an ignorant and hate-filled Zionist but also that she is a genocide-enabling, child-killing and ethnic-cleasing beast who thrives on mass murder and the slaughter of innocents.
She is war-mongering political harlot, cheerleader and tout that has been bought and paid for lock stock and barrel by the Zionists who encourage, fund and support her.
Her misplaced and insane views on her native Iran and now Nigeria are fuelled by hate, ignorance and a level of malevolence and malice that is rarely seen and I am glad that my brother, @YusufTuggar, not only excoriated her before the entire world during the show but also put her in her place despite her gratuitous insults and insufferable insolence.
He exposed her lies, perfidy and ignorance, skinned her alive, chewed her up and spat her out and I enjoyed every moment of it.
An emotionally unstable and vulgar creature from hell deserves no less and a debilitating fool that can open her stinking mouth and claim that Nigeria has an "Islamist" Government simply because our people chose to elect a same faith ticket and that erroneously trumpets the nonsensical notion that only Christians are being subjected to genocide in our nation, that Muslims are not being subjected to the same genocide as well and that our people are somehow working with the Islamic Republic of Iran to undermine democracy and destroy the world cannot be taken seriously.
How Piers could tolerate such a patently dishonest, morally bankrupt, intellectually challenged and savagely uncouth creature on his show that is endowed with such miniscule brain cells beats my imagination.
Surely he could get people that are guided by facts and not emotion and individuals that do not have such a low intelligence quotient and low self esteem.
I thank @AdamAbiAji and others for exposing her and telling us who and what she is. Outside of that I would have never heard of her.

@masuzafi@YusufTuggar@PiersMorgan@PiersUncensored@gghamari
The fact that Piers Morgan is suddenly “concerned” about Nigeria should tell you everything. When he aligns with a narrative, it’s almost guaranteed to be bullshit. His entire career is built on parroting whatever talking point the establishment…UK or US…hands him. He always takes the government’s side until it becomes too embarrassing, then he performs the same apology routine: “I was wrong, I admit it.”
Look at the pattern…COVID, Palestine, whatever the crisis of the week is. He’s always on the wrong side first, always defending power, always covering for the machine. Then, once the damage is done, he flips position to save face and keep his job as an approved mouthpiece.
It’s not coincidence. It’s his function. And people still fall for it.🖕🏾
