CPC: THANK YOU DONALD TRUMP
>On Gideon Akaluka’s 30th anniversary
>Islam is a weapon of terror in Nigeria
A sanction long overdue: Thank goodness some form of help is coming for hapless Nigerians, ( especially Christians) at long last.
Apparently not many remember a certain Gideon Akaluka. It’s exactly 30 years ago today, but the pain won’t heal. On November 2nd, 1995, Akaluka, an indigene of Imo State who was a trader in Kano was killed in a most bestial manner.
He was said to have had a quarrel with a neighbour in the market over a stall. He was later accused of blasphemy for using sheets of the Qur’an to wrap stuff. The matter escalated, police intervened to prise Akaluka from a killer mob. But the mob regrouped, invaded the police station, extracted Akaluka from the Nigeria Police, took him away, beheaded him, burnt his body, stuck the head to a stick and paraded it all over town.
That was probably the first known victory for Islamic mob justice in Nigeria. Nobody was arrested, nobody was prosecuted and the barbarians killing in the name of Allah got emboldened. Since then, there have been dozens of such cases in Nigeria. They all follow the same pattern. Government and security officials have become too impotent to act.
Since then, Islam has increasingly become an instrument of terror and mass destruction in Nigeria. Islam has continued to defy our sovereignty, our constitution, our military/security, our judiciary and every good thing in our country.
In no other country on earth has Islam become so asinine and uncontrollable!
TINUBU OVERWHELMED, TOO WEAK TO ACT: We therefore, applaud the designation of Nigeria as a COUNTRY of PARTICULAR CONCERN (CPC) by the United States.
If only for the humbling effect it has brought on Nigeria’s bumbling federal government and her current dumb leadership at all levels.
Did you notice the sobbering effect already? The absence of the usual blustery and braggadocio this government would usually push out in responding to issues like this? The fear of Donald Trump must be the beginning of wisdom for the Bola Tinubu administration.
Presidential spokesman, Bayo Onanuga would have gone off the handle boasting about Nigeria’s so-called sovereignty and her ability to defend her territory and respond to any foreign attacks.
But this time, Onanuga barely made a whimper in response to Trump’s open, unambiguous warning (not a threat) to apply force on Nigeria if Tinubu fails to act against marauding Fulani militias.
IT’S IMPUNITY MORE THAN GENOCIDE: Yours truly is a diehard patriot and would have naturally taken umbrage at President Trump’s slap not only of our president, but all Nigerians.
Ordinarily, every true Nigerian should have risen up to defend Nigeria following that most offensive tweet by the president of another country to our president. We ought to have stood up and dared Trump to send his army.
But we cannot do that because our dear country has been made a total mess of by our president and his party. Particularly so in the last 10 years.
President Tinubu has proved that he has no answers to Nigeria’s problems, especially the violence and insecurity ravaging the lives of the citizenry. The situation has gotten worse in the last two years and it’s apparent he has no clue whatsoever what can be done.
President Trump’s brash intervention is most salutary not because of genocide against Christians or non thereof as the silly argument goes back and forth. The more pressing issue here is to curb the murderous impunity of so-called Muslims in Nigeria. Many of them have made a sport of killing and maiming fellow citizens, especially Christians and destroying Christian worship places in the north. How many mosques have been razed against hundreds of churches?
And since they face no consequences whatsoever, it has become a whole pastime of terrorising Christians.
DEBORAH MURDERED BY FELLOW STUDENTS: In May, 2022, Deborah Samuel, a female student of Shehu Shagari College of Education, Sokoto, North West of Nigeria was stoned to death, then set ablaze by fellow students who accused her of committing blasphemy in a voice message on a class WhatsApp platform… In broad daylight!
This case stirred the soul of peoples around the world for its particular gruesomeness: classmates becoming cold-blooded murderers against their member.
But more troubling is that not a word from Nigeria’s government.
Then President Muhammadu Buhari, an arch-Islamist, made only a tepid statement. His police chief looked the other way. Sokoto, the seat of Nigeria’s Islamic religion and the Sultan o acquiesced to evil with passive words.
Atiku Abubakar, a presidential candidate who tweeted to condemn the vile act was quick to pull down the tweet preferring to protect his votes in the election ahead.
Though the culprits were known, being classmates to the victim, nobody was prosecuted. None was brought to justice.
AMAYE AS TINUBU’S LITMUS TEST: Barely two months ago, a food vendor in Kasuwan Garba village, in Mariga LGA of Niger State was given the mob Justice.
As the story went, she had refused the overtures of a cousin who proposed marriage. The suitor apparently cited a portion of the Qur’an which Amaye pooh-poohed. The young man was said to have relayed her answer to his friends who deemed it blasphemy. Thereupon, they dragged her out, stoned her to death and set the body ablaze.
Not the village head, not even the police officer who held her in custody, pending reinforcement could save her. The mob prised her from the arms of the law and meted jungle justice.
Again not a whimper from any quarter. Not the IG, not the state police chief, not the state governor made nary a public rebuke.
One would have expected President Tinubu to seize the moment and make a national broadcast, to make a statement and to show the world that some untutored mob had not stolen his mandate and Nigeria’s sovereignty.
Tinubu said no word. He didn’t see the outrage of a citizen of Nigeria being stoned and barbecued like a ram in broad daylight in 2025! He pretended it didn’t happen. He failed to see the moment; he failed to act because he lacked the balls to confront Muslim caucuses who have taken bloody impunity for privilege and licence to kill. They had stoned and roasted fellow citizens in this manner for too long it had become their right to do so. Thanks to President Trump. This Muslim madness would cease henceforth!
STUDENTS KILL TEACHER : In March 2007, Mrs Christiana Oluwatosin OLUWASESIN, mother of two, was conducting invigilation for her students in a Gombe secondary school.
According to the story, she had collected bags from the students in the exam hall and kept them aside on the floor as it’s the practice during exams.
One of the students who supposedly had a Qur’an in her bag reportedly raised the alarm that the teacher had desecrated the holy book.
The students immediately surrounded her, shouting Alahu Akbar! She was stabbed mercilessly, her throat slit and body set ablaze. No prosecution, No arrest, no consequence for these young terrorists!
November 2016, Mrs Bridget AGBAHIME, 74, was dragged to the front of her shop, stoned and burnt to death on the allegation of insulting the prophet. Her killers were acquitted even before trial commenced.
Pastor Eunice OLAWALE was murdered in cold blood on the streets of Abuja as she preached one March morning in 2016.
Grace USHANG, a serving National Youth Service Corps member, was raped and murdered in 2009, in Maiduguri, Borno State for wearing her NYSC khaki trousers.
In 2002, what is now known as MISS WORLD RIOTS put Nigeria in bad lights as Muslim fundamentalist insisted that Nigeria hosting the global spectacle was amoral. The ensuing riots claimed about 250 lives with over 25,000 houses razed.
THE CARTOON RIOTS: Another case of Muslim malady in Nigeria in which a supposedly offensive cartoon in a Danish newspaper sparked serious riots in northern Nigeria which left over 100 Nigerians dead. Shops owned by Christians were destroyed and looted in some parts of the north. Why would a cartoon in Denmark bring Armageddon upon Nigeria? That’s what this column calls MUSLIM MADNESS in Nigeria.
GENOCIDAL ATTACKS: While what we have detailed above are cases of brazen terrorist acts against Christians, there are outright genocidal cases in the last decade. Only two examples will suffice:
BLACK CHRISTMAS: On Christmas Day of 2025, about four coordinated bombings went off in Abuja and some cities in the north of Nigeria.
In Abuja, a car bomb at St. Theresa’s Catholic Church targeting the morning mass, killed over 40 worshippers and left dozens injured.
The key suspect, Kabiru Sokoto was arrested by the police but reportedly escaped the following. He was later to be rearrested , tried and given life sentence, (for mass murder and destruction)!
On the same day, the Evangelical Christian Church, in Jos Plateau State, was bombed.
Another Catholic Church in Gadaka, Yobe; while in Damaturu Yobe, another bomb went off near secret police headquarters.
For all these synchronised attacks, only one person was arrested.
It was however, obvious to all that there were cover ups in high places.
HYPOCRISY, COLLUSION AND DENIAL: There is no doubt that Christians are the first and easy targets in the protracted terror war in Nigeria since 2009. Though Boko Haram and latterly, bandits would kill indiscriminately, killing Christians and destruction of their churches would be icing on the cake for any Islamist. Is exterminating the infidel no longer the divine calling of jihadists!
It stands to reason therefore, that in the path of battle, no church or worshipper would be spared. This is why what is happening is a sustained genocide.
UNMITIGATED GENOCIDE IN THE MIDDLEBELT NIGERIA: What is going on in Plateau, Benue, Taraba, Zamfara and Southern Kaduna is genocide, pure and simple.
Yelemata killings in Benue state last June is the height of it. Killers gave notices, invaded for two days and walked away coolly. Hundreds of Nigerians, mainly Christians were murdered. No reprisals, no consequences. There are dozens of stories like this in the last
couple of decades.
Federal government under serial presidents remain prostrate and cowardly, preferring to politicise the deathly situation. For instance, the US presented a list of terror financiers but the FG never acted on it; never revealed the culprits till today.
POLITICAL CORRECTNESS: Those claiming that there’s no coordinated genocide in Nigeria are only being politically corrupt.
Father Matthew Kukah, Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese doesn’t want to be seen to be unpatriotic.
Way back in 2010, he made a monument in memory of nearly 600 Christians killed in Jos.
WHERE IS LEAH SHARIBU? Most of us know her story. It may be said that Buhari’s government declined to have her rescued because she boldly asserted her Christianity.
FANI-KAYODE, ROGUE ANALYST: Femi Fani-Kayode who has been raving against Trump since the sanctions were announced calls it mischaracterisation of the issue. Toeing the government’s line, he says Christians are not singled out for massacre. But how many mosques have been razed compared to over 160 churches.
Besides, during the era of President Buhari, FFK had been the raging champion against Islamisation of Nigeria and ongoing genocide against Christians.
Fani-Kayode is on record to have said in 2018 that: “Nigeria has had more Christians murdered, more churches bombed and burnt and more clerics slaughtered than any other country over the last 58 years.”
He’s also on record to have said that Fulani herdsmen were killing hundreds of thousands of Christians in an orgy of ethnic cleansing, mass murders and genocide that is worse today than in the 1804 (Jihad).
What has changed? Fani-Kayode is now in the ruling party and being a rogue analyst and a mercenary, he is always quick to trade away the truth for instant pecuniary gains.
FINAL ANALYSIS: AGAIN THANKS TRUMP: The obdurate leadership in Nigeria and her limp presidency would rather
live in denial rather than solve problems.
Now that Nigeria is designated a CPC, in league with such countries as Iran, Eritrea, North Korea, Nicaragua, Pakistan, among others, the exactions of her witch gets worse!
RECOMMENDATIONS: Tinubu must sit up and do the following immediately:
ONE, outlaw Sharia law and declare it unconstitutional; bar States from operating it and ban such agents as Hisbah etc. We either have one country or not.
Two, outlaw open grazing in Nigeria giving one year moratorium for those in livestock businesses to build ranches or do other businesses. The Livestock Ministry could be structured to achieve this.
Three, open a six-month window for amnesty and order all bandits, terrorists and insurgents to sheathe their swords and dialogue or be crushed.
Four, arising from banning Sharia law, outlaw any form of extra judicial killings and jungle justice.
Five, these are tough decisions but high level collaboration with the US would help would come in handy in achieving these.
Yes, we are aware that the Americans may have a territorial agenda in Nigeria, but we shall cross that bridge when we get there.
