The United States of America Senators, Marco Rubio and Josh Hawley have written to President Joe Biden to relist Nigeria as a ‘Country of Particular Concern’ over increasing cases of violence against Christians in the country.In the letter to the U.S. Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, the senators urged President Biden to immediately reinstate Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern under the International Religious Freedom Act.
There have been a series of abductions and killings of Christian clerics in the country. There were also recent attacks on Catholic churches in Owo, Ondo State in the Southern region and Kaduna State in the Northern region, where no fewer than 50 worshippers were killed and dozens injured.
“Last month, a violent mob brutally stoned to death Deborah Emmanuel Yakubu, a student at Shehu Shagari College of Education in northwest Nigeria. According to reports, some Islamist students were enraged by a “blasphemous” message Deborah had posted in a WhatsApp group, in which she said that “Jesus Christ is the greatest. He helped me pass my exams.” Merely expressing one’s Christian faith has apparently become tantamount to a death sentence in many parts of Nigeria.
What about killing Muslims in Nigeria by IPOP,this is hypocritesy,u support the side of urs,this is an injustice statement.
POTUS Please here our cry😭😭😭, even children, young and old are been massacred daily. The insecurity is on the rise daily. All we need is to divide this nation with peaceful and amicable referendum 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Who that one help,as if Dem give a fuck about Nigeria and Africa at large?
Good
All these are BS.
Yes indeed
This is an interesting news.
BuhariMustGo IntlCrimCourt crimes against Humanity
maximilian_oz elonmusk Twitter stop covering image of people killed by Nigeria government and Biafra
This is long overdue
newborndc Fb boss sir newborndc ❤️
Be like say US wan collect wotowoto
Hypocrisy
Now they're waking up
I expect this for long
I wish the united state could take over Nigeria government like the Libya
I no belong in any religion but na only christians Dem dey kill for naija? last I checked na Nigerians Dem dey kill not just christians.
Hmm but what about killing of muslim in Nigeria?
Good move
They should if they too are not complicit
The high rate of indiscriminate killings Christians and clergymen across Nigeria is a deliberately attempt to wipe out Christians in Nigeria
US government should focus on removing APC and PDP from Power and install LP Mr Peter Obi to fixed Nigeria permanently
Mr. Biden put on his nose mask crossed on top of his ears whereas, the impostor/buhari’s mask passed through his neck. Does that tells u what u need to know? The one that wears his on his ears has natural cartilage while the other is artificial. This is as simple as that, period
Good news of the day, I wish it shall come to pass.
SenateDems SenateGOP GOVUK POTUS FLOTUS POTUS45 DonaldJTrumpJr help us speak for us, MBuhari is sponsoring terrorists, killer Herdsmen, bandits, Iswap, Boko Haram and HQNigerianArmy PoliceNG killing, kidnapping, raping innocent Nigerians, we are dying help us DIVIDE US
Long overdue
Does the US need to be begged by Nigeria law makers to implement their international policy? All western envoys in Nigeria are compromised. They are bent to cover up for the zoo. High level corruption.
Absolute nonsense. Who cares, the US has little moral authority in the world currently. Thanks to George Bush and Donald Trump
Now Christians will rejoice with this development without seeing the hypocrisy and falsehood in it. So only Christians are being killed? The same US that supports Israel killing innocent Palestinians
Allah ya kaskantar da kafirci da kafirai.
Thousands of Muslims were killed on a daily basis, many were abducted but this western countries have never Utter a word against the killings, i see no reason why they will involve themselves while it’s already too late.
I don't get this? Are they saying all the victims of banditry and terrorism in Nigeria are Christians? Let them continue to divide us the more.
so oyibo de collect bribe
Omo forget lie Muhammad would turn it up side down, that man is capable to convert truth to a smooth lie
When all our supposed leaders are outside the country CHILLING...
We are I total mess
I see sanctions coming, but the truth is this problem is not peculiar to Nigerian alone however, it is the non responsiveness to prosecute by the authorities that makes ours unique, also its pertinent to mention that even Muslims up north are not spared in this killings
The bunch of hypocrites in CAN protested for the delist of Nigeria from CPC (Countries with Persecuted christians) not too long ago
why do Sahara reporters fancy tearing Nigeria apart using a religion card? sad!
Relisting is not enough, it has never changed anything. Keeping Nigeria one is the greatest mistake ever made. One Nigeria means more killing. Referendum is the only answer if actually they are interested to save lives.
All this issue about the fulani’s is too much
Kudos
Biden should relist Nigeria real quick abeg
kennizglobal Omg overdue
Democrats are supporting buhari and all he is doing in Nigeria right from the time of Obama. It is common knowledge actually.
The US has its own issues, worse than Nigeria's sef. But they pancake it. Na we own dey sour for mouth and eye
Buhari a terrorist sponsor
Buhari is a mistake 2 be president of nig. 4 7 yrs nothing concrete 2 show that he is president. Every day killing, kidnapping nd hatred. US govt should hold Buhari govt 4 all atrocities committed in Dr country. Buhari is a religious fanatics
chillychux007 please relist people that are from BH region, abeg na Lagos I dey I no k.ill anybody abeg!!!!!
The senator should report the complaints to Heaven not America please, so that everyone can relax with all this blackmail against Muslims in Nigeria by pegans. We waiting to hear sanctions from Heaven not America.
POTUS please do it fast. Realist Nigeria as violator of religious freedom. Thank you
Good move nigeria has to be stop for every day killings of Christian Muhammad Buhari is the one championing the killings of Christians in nigeria. Muhammad Buhari fulani nigeria president is a killer and ter
How can relist end the vawulence attacks in the Rural areas?
Very good
Acts17David ApostateRidvan MrsApostate thank you!!! 🙏🙏🙏
And how would they label their own policemen that keep killing innocent black people
Money will still solve the matter. They will come and they will be bribed, and even go to extent of killing Innocent black people, claiming they're the ones violating religion. Las las, they will go, and muslims will keep killing Christians In the North and west. best Is division
please do it fast. Re-list Nigeria as violator of religious freedom. Thank you
It should have not been removed for the first place,Nigeria remains the country where Christian is been killed by the Muslims extremist.
Time to go home God pls
You see, that's how it starts, no one talked about over 200 people that were killed in Sokoto, over 50 people killed in Katsina and many others. So its only Christians that being killed or why all this hullabaloo
Hope they wrote similar letters for the persistent massacre of muslims in India and Israel
Or may them end Nigeria
YES 💯
Pls nycgov USA 🇺🇸 Nigeria 🇳🇬 needs help from so many groups bandits herdsmen unknown gun men boko harams and many more 🥲🥲🥲
I agree and impose severe sanctions on those found wanting.
When they were delisted sometimes last year, well meaning Nigerians raised alarm and protested but we're ignored. That emboldened Buhari and his Fulani killers to intensify their murderous barbaric life style
KokoboyOfAfrica Nd call this mistake to order too
and what happens thereafter? Govt through it media aides to deny that no single Christian is killed, and that religious freedom enjoyed under this regime is never seen anywhere in the world. Finish!
Nigeria will continue to be in the bad book civilised nations
Why and how was it delisted in the first place ?
I guess they don’t care about the Muslims being killed.
Yes please, ASAP🙏🏿
US SECRETARY OF STATE IS A TERRORIST SYMPATHIZER NO DOUBT FOR HIM TO DELIST NIGERIA AS A VIOLATOR OF RELIGIOUS FREEDOM. WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WILL DO SUCH KNOWING FULL WELL HOW FULANI TERRORISTS R RUNNING ON RAMPAGE EVERYWHERE KILLING & MAIMING INDIGENOUS PEOPLE? THIS IS INSANE
Best news ever.
yomiable Evil corrupted people everywhere
Because of oil greed, they turned blind eyes on the persecution of indigenous people, and Christians in Nigeria. Good moves though. EndNigeriaNowToSaveLives
Good
Right under NGRPresident MBuhari Government
Coming late.
It's long overdue
I stan!
Not Nigeria. Buhari and his goons.
True.
The Fulani terrorist government of Nigeria quickly bribed Washington in a bid to cover their evil track but now the reality of the situation has dawned on everyone. Relisting them will greatly restrict their international funding of terrorism. They need to be relisted now.
yomiable Money don finish e won collect again 😂😂😂😂
USA should gettat abeg🙄
I say it’s really pointless. It never deprive those evil men of anything
s_bendel U.S is world best hypocrite, if you want Nigeria in peace,, let Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba etc have their independent nations Our culture, tradition and religion are different and therefore indifferent to our selves
s_bendel Atiku is relaxing in Dubai, Buhari is in Portugal feeling shock. Wike is in Turkey enjoying clean environment Ikpeazu is in Turkey enjoying good road EKWEREMMADU dey Uk Tinubu is in France enjoying best medical Me and U dey here? We dey enjoy, Darkness, Bandits Bokoharam etc
The same Biden that has more than enough problems in his country and Europe? His approval rating is 38% in his country. US have more problems right now 😂
This is long overdue
Good call... The k!lling of Christians is just too much.
Maybe black life Don's matters because of oil and gas etc in Africa.
They should be sending weapons to us to fight terrorist and not trying to punish us when we are under invasion by religious extremist
LONG OVERDUE.MUSLIM MUSLIM TICKET CAN NOT WORK AGAIN IN NIGERIA.CHRISTIAN SHOULD BORROW THEMSELVES BRAIN.
The call is on the right direction as its about human lives
Sahara reporters you are the promoters of all religious crisis in Nigeria, your hatred for Islam and Muslims cannot work even the Christian themselves now know that you're the Nigerian enemy please allow us to leave in peace
Joe Biden & Obama are working hand in hand .
NaijaGoBeta1 This is needed. There’s a silent genocide happening in Nigeria. Kudos to marcorubio and his colleagues for speaking for persecuted Christians.
Very important , they have distroy**d Christains.
Christians in Kaduna dey see shege
But na who delete am before?
The killing is too much. Please POTUS JoeBiden Nigerian Christians are now beef meat in the hands of the Fulani herdsmen and terrorists. Save Our Soul
Removing Nigeria from that list was what emboldened the APC sponsored Fulani terrorists to begin a new onslaught on Nigerian Christians, while Buhari, Pantami, El Rufai, Kwankwaso and other hardline Muslim fundamentalists applauded.
It is necessary because all the killings in Nigeria has government backing
Relist or Delist can not change the fact that since buharia came to power thousands of Christians has been murderd by his foot soldiers. The beast called buharia derives joy in all the killings. his body language tells it all.
It is in Nigeria that those who wage religious wars are invincible because they have support of highly placed individuals.
The useless impostor will them, they are teaching his beloved brothers to stop killing people.
A monster called Buhari has made a point of duty to eliminate all Christian in Nigeria..
This is perfect!
Very good
Ob..a..ma is a mistake to USA, never allow forigners non indigenous to take highest office in Ur land. There is why. Relist Nigeria this gvt is evil.
Nigeria is a terrorist county that integrate Boko Haram in to the army called them repentance Boko Haram while killing innocent youths who is agitating for their freedom. Terrorist in Nigeria are busy going inside church killing innocent worshipers kidnapping priest in the church
Can you check this
POTUS BorisJohnson UKParliament The way and manner christians are being killed daily in Nigeria especially in Benue State and Kaduna State is totally heart wrenching, the Nigerian President MBuhari has completely turned blind eyes and deaf ears. WE ARE NIGERIANS WE NEED HELP
What about all the Muslims and other non-Christians killed? Seems their lives is not an hypocrite's biz!
It shouldn't have been delisted before. We know MBuhari's government can go to any length to cover the atrocious mistreatment of Nigerians of certain sections and faith.
Biden na Jihadish too
What is the US waiting for if not for politics and sentiments
I don't know what they zoo gave to Biden that made him to remove it in the first place.
Nigeria… Buhari has been accused of being complicit with the 'insecurity' going on... ie genocide by Fulani for land grab!!! NINASisRight NINASPlanIsTheAnswer WeStandWithNINAS TransitionNow EndSARS
It's very important. Most Nigerians don't know that Nigeria is classified as an Islamic country.
Buhari's government in one picture.
Who comot am before? Is this playin
ETUKMMA Yes
Small minded jihadists are doing the most recently
Na now wonna know abi
The religion of térro and destruction (Islam) are everywhere in the whole causing havoc nd wasting innocent precious lives. Dos mini minor idiots wey dey igbo land go collect if dem misbehave anytime. Rubbish
