State police told CNN the attackers were most likely Fulani herdsmen who continued their crusade by burning down 50 homes.

“They attacked the venue of a burial ceremony and also attacked the church where the two reverend fathers were holding mass,” police commissioner Fatai Owoseni says. “We were able to recover 16 bodies from the scene of the attack and those of the two priests.” . . . .

“President Buhari has done nothing more than issue empty words of condolence as villages have been burned and thousands of religious minorities have been slaughtered. President Buhari’s willful inaction has meant attacks by the Fulani are becoming more deadly and sophisticated. Even the Nigerian House of Representatives has summoned President Buhari to account for these non-stop, religiously motivated attacks. President Trump has a great opportunity to influence the situation and help hurting religious minorities in Nigeria.”

I didn’t know this Nigerian was coming here and if I were Trump, I would make sure that not one other issue was raised or discussed with him except this one...What other issue in Nigeria could possibly be more important or affect our country more than this. The killing of Christians should be the business of everyone in the Christian world?

What in the devil is it with blacks that they go absolutely haywire (I wanted to say APE) when they get a voice or a little power?? And blacks in the USA think they are so oppressed...they are obsessed - not oppressed..

“”U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to meet with Buhari next week. Christian advocates implore the president to use this time to pressure Buhari to defend Christians.

“I implore President Trump to leverage his April 30 meeting with Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari to insist upon meaningful protection for Christians who continue to be violently attacked by President Buhari’s own people group: Fulani herdsmen,” said David Curry, president and CEO of Open Doors USA.

“President Buhari has done nothing more than issue empty words of condolence as villages have been burned and thousands of religious minorities have been slaughtered. President Buhari’s willful inaction has meant attacks by the Fulani are becoming more deadly and sophisticated. Even the Nigerian House of Representatives has summoned President Buhari to account for these non-stop, religiously motivated attacks. President Trump has a great opportunity to influence the situation and help hurting religious minorities in Nigeria.””

[SkyDancer]

Ban churches. That's where all the people are. Oh, and also close schools so there won't be anymore school shootings.

Because some folks ......

Christians could protect themselves by organized and trained local militia — if they were allowed to have this.

[BBell]

You have to wonder if that was a Freudian slip.

[Retvet]

In the countries where they are an extreme minority.

Is this where Boko Haram pledged it’s allegiance to the Islamic state and Michelle Obama “demanded” kidnapped girls be released with a hashtag?
