In the final ten years of his life, Muhammad accumulated at least 11 women.
Two were Jewish women taken through war, one was a Christian Egyptian woman reportedly handed to him as property (gift), and one was nine years old.
In that same decade, he didn’t preach peace — he waged it away.
27 raids. 56 smaller military incursions.
83 armed actions in total.
Run the numbers.
That’s a war every 44 days.
That’s a new woman every 11 months.
This isn’t a religion, it’s violence sanctified and lust divinely licensed.
Prophethood pays — in blood and bodies.
God doesn't care about Nigeria.
Evidence surrounds us to support the fact that - he sent every condemned war criminals from their past lives to be reincarnated here.
If God has cable TV in heaven - Nigeria is like NTA.
He doesn't tune in.
How do you “reason with” or “reform” someone who believes your death adds to their heavenly reward, and are I afraid to die because dying for their beliefs is the ultimate reward? How?
I saw a tweet yesterday and it stayed with me all night.
In the last 1 decade of terrorism in Nigeria, not a single terrorist has been put to death.
Not one.
If anyone is still in doubt, this tells you everything you need to know.
Trump asks the Nigerian government to sit up and flush out terrorists, or they'll be forced to 'help'
Nigerian Muslims are claiming Trump wants to attack them.
I don't see the correlation. Interestingly, they see it.
Anyways, Egbe bomb yii tobiiii. 🤲
Allahu gbau gbau. 💥💥
Dear @fkeyamo,
I read through your piece here: https://t.co/CYNNJYxNUl to @realDonaldTrump. You said your appointment as a Christian minister proves there is no persecution. But when bandits and Fulani militias attack villages in Benue, Plateau, Nasarawa, or Southern Kaduna, do they stop to ask if the Minister of Aviation is a Christian? Do they check the president’s cabinet list before burning homes and killing farmers? The dead do not care who was appointed. Political appointments cannot replace justice for those who have been slaughtered.
Donald Trump did not accuse President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of killing Christians. There is nowhere in Trump’s statement where he made such a claim. He only said that Christians are being killed in Nigeria and called on the government to go after the killers. That is the same thing Nigerians have been crying about for years.
If Trump is saying the same thing that citizens, pastors, and victims have been shouting for years, why respond with a long political essay instead of a plan of action? Why not tell the world plainly that Nigeria has a problem and needs help to go after the killers (both Fulani militias and terrorist groups) killing people of all faiths? Why pretend that because the president’s wife is a pastor and his children are Christians, the country has no crisis? This is not a family issue. This is a national tragedy.
You wrote that President Tinubu is a moderate Muslim who prays with pastors. That is fine, but being a moderate does not make the killings disappear. Quoting the president’s family’s faith to defend state inaction is meaningless. Nigeria needs leadership, not family testimony.
This is not PDP versus APC. This is not about who supports or opposes the president. This is about human lives. It is about farmers murdered on their land, children burned in their homes, and families forced to flee to IDP camps.
Look at Benue, Plateau, Nasarawa, and Southern Kaduna. Every week brings a new attack. In Yelwata, Benue, over two hundred Christians were killed. Bokkos and Barkin Ladi have become mass graveyards. If there is no Christian genocide, what was Governor Ortom crying about in Benue? What did President Tinubu go to Benue for after the Yelwata massacre? If there are no killings, why are Christian communities living like refugees in their own country?
You completely denied the massacre of Christians. WOW! The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom and Amnesty International both report that Christian farming communities in the Middle Belt face repeated and organized attacks. These are not random crimes but a clear pattern of targeted violence. A UK Parliament report recorded over 12,700 Christians killed and 7,900 abducted between 2019 and 2022. Recent reports by Reuters and The Guardian show that in 2025 alone, more than tens of Christians were massacred in Yelwata, Benue, while dozens were killed in Bokkos and Barkin Ladi. Human Rights Watch confirms that such killings are coordinated and often ignored. The evidence is overwhelming: Christians in Nigeria’s Middle Belt are being disproportionately targeted, and the violence is systematic, not equal.
The truth is that there has been no political will to stop them. Each time Nigerians cry out, government officials treat it as an attack on the government rather than a cry for help. Every report, every video, every outcry is dismissed as propaganda. That is why nothing changes. The killers move freely because those in power prefer silence to truth. When the world begins to notice, the government rushes to deny instead of act.
You, of all people, should remember that when the APC was in opposition, it ran to Washington to tell the Obama administration the same genocide in the North under Goodluck Jonathan. Even Bola Tinubu once tweeted about it. Back then, you called it genocide. So what changed? Did the killings stop because you came to power? Or is it only called genocide when another party is in charge?
If your goal was honesty, your letter to Trump would have been short and sincere. You could have simply said that there are terrorist attacks affecting both Christians and Muslims and that Nigeria needs help, intelligence, and technology to go after the killers. That would have shown leadership, not weakness. That would have shown truth, not propaganda.
Nobody said Tinubu is killing Christians. The point is that he must do more to stop those who are. Because if the killings continue and the government keeps denying them, history will not remember who was president. It will remember who stayed silent.
Nigeria does not need denial. Nigeria needs truth, accountability, and courage. Every time you deny the pain of your people, you give strength to those who kill them. And when that happens, the blood no longer cries only from the ground. It cries against those who refused to act.
This is not about politics, Mr. Keyamo. This is about truth. And no government can win peace by denying pain.
Borno State — where around 30% of the population are Christians — still lives under statewide Sharia law.
Christians there complain that Christian Religious Studies has been banned from schools in Southern Borno;
—they face blocked advancement in the civil service and other local authorities compared to the Muslim/Kanuri elite;
getting land or a Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) for churches is almost impossible; and Christian programmes are shut out from all six major radio/TV outlets in the state.
Even when homes, churches, or businesses owned by Christians are destroyed — often during Boko Haram attacks — others get compensation, but they from Southern Borno usually get nothing.
Reports also show Christian names can hinder admission to schools, job access, or even renting property.
In Southern Borno, Christianity is practiced by— among the Marghi, Kibaku (Chibok), Bura, and Higgi peoples in LGAs like Askira/Uba, Hawul, Chibok, Biu, Damboa, and Gwoza, where Boko Haram has its base and has displaced most of the people there.
