Way to go! Gun-a-blazing is an overreach. Nigeria is too sophisticated for that approach and the world does not need a destabilized Nigeria. Timw for the right partnership moves.
@FemiOguntayo2
Now YOU ARE TALKING! I trust Nuhu Ribadu to some extent. This is how you work with Govts, not by going in “gun-a-blazing”.
@KawuGarba
Glad to see you met with the NSA Nuhu Ribadu; however, the narrative you are pushing for Christian persecution in Nigeria doesn’t reflect credible and verifiable data and facts. The terrorists we have in Nigeria don’t discriminate whether you’re Muslim or Christian; everyone is affected by their atrocities as long as you don’t subscribe to their extremist ideology.

Finally some movement on this. Been praying someone in DC would actually listen instead of just issuing the usual statements. Hope this meeting leads to real pressure (and real help) rather than another photo-op. Those kids kidnapped today need more than thoughts and prayers.
@U_Rochas
Thank you, brother, and many thanks to President Trump and everyone who has stood , and continues to stand , with the persecuted Christians in my country. We are truly grateful.
@shuraim
I just hope something meaningful is coming out because both Muslims and Christians are not safe in this country.
@AyanbisiAT
Way to go! Partnership by both countries, to end the reign of terror by bad elements in Nigeria is a welcome development.
