Lewzer: Prepare for possible action in Nigeria

Saturday, November 01, 2025

President Donald Trump said Saturday he has ordered the Defense Department to prepare for possible military action in Nigeria as he continues to accuse the nation of violence against Christians " an accusation Nigeria has repeatedly denied. In a social media post criticizing what he called the "mass slaughter" of Christians in the country, Trump wrote the United States would "immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria" and warned the government there to "move fast."

In the lengthy message, Trump said that the US "may very well go into that now disgraced country, guns-a-blazing,' to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities." "If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians!

"Attacks in Nigeria have varying motives. There are religiously motivated attacks targeting both Christians and Muslims, clashes between farmers and herders over dwindling resources, communal rivalries, secessionist groups and ethnic clashes.

While Christians are among those targeted, analysts say the majority of victims of armed groups are Muslims in Nigeria's Muslim-majority north, where most attacks occur."

Remember when Republicans said they don't want America to be the world's policemen?

Well, minorities make up almost half of the US Military, so this would be a good way to get rid of all those DEI hires!

Pretending to protect Christiana, obfuscating from Epstein, and getting rid of nonwhites?

Win-Win-Win!

Why wouldn't it?

We can just add it to the list of African nations we bomb regularly

news.antiwar.com

The US has dramatically increased its airstrikes in Somalia this year, and the latest three strikes bring the total number of US bombings in the country this year to 89. The Trump administration has shattered the previous annual record for US airstrikes in Somalia, which President Trump set at 63 back in 2019. For context, President Biden launched a total of 51 airstrikes in Somalia throughout his four years in office, and President Obama launched 48 over eight years.

Oh, and for context

AFRICOM offered no other details about the strike as it stopped sharing casualty estimates and assessments on potential civilian harm earlier this year. "Specific details about units and assets will not be released to ensure continued operations security," the command said.

Our nation doesn't deem to let us know the details of the war they are engaged in.

Trump sent money to a Nigerian prince once and now he's out for revenge.

I look forward to his mispronunciations of that nation's name. Should give his "Gina" (China) a run for the money!

7,000 Christians Have Been Killed in Nigeria This Year, Group Say

Nigeria has long been an epicenter of Christian persecution, with more Christians killed for their faith in Nigeria than in the rest of the world combined, according to human rights organization Open Doors, which monitors the persecution of Christians around the globe.

The violence has displaced at least 12 million Christians since 2009, according to Intersociety. That year marked the start of Boko Haram's insurgency to establish a caliphate in Nigeria and the broader Sahel.

In the 16 years since, Intersociety estimates that 189,000 civilians have been killed - 125,000 of whom were Christians and 60,000 liberal Muslims.

Just more of that peace and harmony our useful idiots want Palestinian ISIS to inflict on Israel, before they bring it home to us.

These are for the most part not religious killings, they are for territory and resources.

see #1

It's mostly Muslim deaths by Muslims.

Boko Haram is a self-proclaimed jihadist militant group based in northeastern Nigeria.

Those numbers seem to tell a different story. But, in any event, I'm not sure telling Christians that the liberal Muslims that would let them live in peace have it worse makes them feel any better.

It's not about religion, as the article is clear that Trump wants to make it about... it's about territory and resources... just like the genocide in Gaza, no matter who started it.

Yeah, I dunno about that. According to the Wikipedia article, Amnesty International estimates 20K of the Boko Haram religious wackos are roaming around looking to start an Islamic Caliphate. But the press has a hard time admitting that some religions are more prone to violence than others, so they whitewash it.

Anyhow, reminds me of this popular (in Nigeria) joke a Nigerian coworker told me many years ago:

God was distributing gifts to all the nations of the world.

To America, God gave advanced technology and innovation.
To Europe, God gave beautiful landscapes and strong institutions.
To Asia, God gave a large, industrious population.

Then God came to Africa, and God gave Nigeria abundant crude oil, fertile land, vast mineral wealth, a beautiful climate, and all manner of other natural resources.

An angel noticed how much God was giving to Nigeria and asked, "Lord, aren't you being too generous with Nigeria? You've given them everything!"

God looked at the angel with a smile and replied, "Wait until I tell you about the people I'm putting there."

All the Abrahamic religions embrace and endorse violence.
Stern Gang for example.

Holy Violence Then and Now
christianhistoryinstitute.org

... Christian History: In the first three centuries, Christians were pacifists. By 1096, they embarked on a holy war. What caused such a huge change?

Jonathan Riley-Smith: First, the early church was not entirely pacifist. In Romans 13, for example, Paul justifies the violence of the pagan emperor, for the emperor is yet a minister of God. And Christians served in the Roman army from the second century on.

Following the conversion of the emperors, in the fourth century, the church became more open to using violence. Church leaders, after an initial shock, began supporting the use of force against heretics. ...

Top 10 Massacres by Christians in Modern History
#14 | Posted by LampLighter

Some of those are a stretch, both in calling something that happened 400 years ago "modern," and identifying Nazis and every US President other than Jefferson as fighting Christian religious wars.

But, in any event, some religions grow with the times. Some others (peace be unto them) want to party like it's 999 (A.D.).

"and identifying Nazis ... as fighting Christian religious wars."

Positive Christianity (German: positives Christentum) was a religious movement within Nazi Germany which promoted the belief that the racial purity of the German people should be maintained by mixing racialistic Nazi ideology with either fundamental or significant elements of Nicene Christianity. Adolf Hitler used the term in point 24[a] of the 1920 Nazi Party Platform, stating: "the Party as such represents the viewpoint of Positive Christianity without binding itself to any particular denomination".
