“The Tinubu Government Is Searching For Missing N210 Trillion From The NNPC, Yet No One Seems To Be Treating It As a Serious Issue. With That Kind Of Money, Nigeria Shouldn’t Need To Borrow From China. Or Is It Trump And America That Stole The Money?”.- Barrister Darlington
Dear @fkeyamo,
I read through your piece here: x.com/fkeyamo/status/1986067… to @realDonaldTrump. You said your appointment as a Christian minister proves there is no persecution. But when bandits and Fulani militias attack villages in Benue, Plateau, Nasarawa, or Southern Kaduna, do they stop to ask if the Minister of Aviation is a Christian? Do they check the president’s cabinet list before burning homes and killing farmers? The dead do not care who was appointed. Political appointments cannot replace justice for those who have been slaughtered.
Donald Trump did not accuse President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of killing Christians. There is nowhere in Trump’s statement where he made such a claim. He only said that Christians are being killed in Nigeria and called on the government to go after the killers. That is the same thing Nigerians have been crying about for years.
If Trump is saying the same thing that citizens, pastors, and victims have been shouting for years, why respond with a long political essay instead of a plan of action? Why not tell the world plainly that Nigeria has a problem and needs help to go after the killers (both Fulani militias and terrorist groups) killing people of all faiths? Why pretend that because the president’s wife is a pastor and his children are Christians, the country has no crisis? This is not a family issue. This is a national tragedy.
You wrote that President Tinubu is a moderate Muslim who prays with pastors. That is fine, but being a moderate does not make the killings disappear. Quoting the president’s family’s faith to defend state inaction is meaningless. Nigeria needs leadership, not family testimony.
This is not PDP versus APC. This is not about who supports or opposes the president. This is about human lives. It is about farmers murdered on their land, children burned in their homes, and families forced to flee to IDP camps.
Look at Benue, Plateau, Nasarawa, and Southern Kaduna. Every week brings a new attack. In Yelwata, Benue, over two hundred Christians were killed. Bokkos and Barkin Ladi have become mass graveyards. If there is no Christian genocide, what was Governor Ortom crying about in Benue? What did President Tinubu go to Benue for after the Yelwata massacre? If there are no killings, why are Christian communities living like refugees in their own country?
You completely denied the massacre of Christians. WOW! The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom and Amnesty International both report that Christian farming communities in the Middle Belt face repeated and organized attacks. These are not random crimes but a clear pattern of targeted violence. A UK Parliament report recorded over 12,700 Christians killed and 7,900 abducted between 2019 and 2022. Recent reports by Reuters and The Guardian show that in 2025 alone, more than tens of Christians were massacred in Yelwata, Benue, while dozens were killed in Bokkos and Barkin Ladi. Human Rights Watch confirms that such killings are coordinated and often ignored. The evidence is overwhelming: Christians in Nigeria’s Middle Belt are being disproportionately targeted, and the violence is systematic, not equal.
The truth is that there has been no political will to stop them. Each time Nigerians cry out, government officials treat it as an attack on the government rather than a cry for help. Every report, every video, every outcry is dismissed as propaganda. That is why nothing changes. The killers move freely because those in power prefer silence to truth. When the world begins to notice, the government rushes to deny instead of act.
You, of all people, should remember that when the APC was in opposition, it ran to Washington to tell the Obama administration the same genocide in the North under Goodluck Jonathan. Even Bola Tinubu once tweeted about it. Back then, you called it genocide. So what changed? Did the killings stop because you came to power? Or is it only called genocide when another party is in charge?
If your goal was honesty, your letter to Trump would have been short and sincere. You could have simply said that there are terrorist attacks affecting both Christians and Muslims and that Nigeria needs help, intelligence, and technology to go after the killers. That would have shown leadership, not weakness. That would have shown truth, not propaganda.
Nobody said Tinubu is killing Christians. The point is that he must do more to stop those who are. Because if the killings continue and the government keeps denying them, history will not remember who was president. It will remember who stayed silent.
Nigeria does not need denial. Nigeria needs truth, accountability, and courage. Every time you deny the pain of your people, you give strength to those who kill them. And when that happens, the blood no longer cries only from the ground. It cries against those who refused to act.
This is not about politics, Mr. Keyamo. This is about truth. And no government can win peace by denying pain.
Dear President Trump @realDonaldTrump ,
I am a lawyer of more than three decades of active practice, most of which was dedicated to activism in promotion and protection of human rights. In 2017, right there in Washington, I was found worthy to be awarded the Global Human Rights Award by the United States Global Leadership Council, which had the eminent Dr. Reuben Egolf as its Chairman at the time. This was in recognition of my work over the years in the promotion of the rights of the downtrodden people. I was also born and raised as a Christian in Nigeria.
There is, therefore, a need for me to add my little voice to the issue that has agitated your mind lately (with the hope it would be heard, even as a whimper): the purported ‘mass killings’ of Christians in Nigeria.
I was appointed by the present President of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as his Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, along with other Christians. Because of my strong Christian background and ethical pedigree, it would have been most unconscionable for me to associate with - let alone accept to serve or continue to serve - a government if truly there is any scintilla of truth in the assertion that Christians are SPECIFICALLY targeted in Nigeria for persecution, killings or harassment ON ACCOUNT OF THEIR FAITH. It is simply not true.
Just like the U.S and many countries in the world, we have faced our own fair share of societal violence; ours has been perpetrated by deadly groups known as Boko Haram (now seriously decimated), herdsmen, and cattle rustlers. These decades-old problems were inherited by our President who has made great progress in the fight against these insurgents. In fact, most of the security Chiefs appointed by him are Christians, so it would be unthinkable to imagine them being complicit in the killing of fellow Christians in Nigeria.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of Nigeria, though a Muslim, is a known ‘moderate’, whose wife is a Pastor of one of the biggest Pentecostal Churches in Nigeria and most of his children are practising Christians. When he was Governor of Lagos State, he regularly invited Christian Pastors for prayers and worship sessions at the Government House. He will be the last person to either adopt the killing of Christians as a State Policy, or condone such acts or be complicit in them.
Nigeria is a secular State and our Constitution explicitly provides for freedom of religion and prohibits the adoption of a State religion, reflecting its status as a multi-faith nation. This legal framework underpins the country's diverse religious landscape, which includes significant populations of Muslims, Christians, and adherents of traditional African religions, coexisting within a nation’s space.
In all honesty, the insecurity in some parts of the country over the years has impacted adherents of all religions and this government has not sought to protect one set of adherents and ignore the others.
Ordinarily, opposition politicians will oppose the government of the day. But on this matter, President Trump, you would have observed that leaders of the opposition parties in Nigeria are united on one point: there is no TARGETED killing of Christians in Nigeria.
President Trump, the Nigerian people ask for deep and sincere understanding from your government at this point; the Nigerian people ask for support and cooperation from your government at this point to confront this decades-old menace of terrorism; we ask for collaboration; we ask for frank and open dialogue at this time with your government; we ask that you broaden your sources of information at this time so as to get a balanced view of the happenings in Nigeria.
Thank you.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria and
God bless the United States of America.

Can those APC dogs on social media defending their stomach be more in line with the truth than this honorable Martin Onobo.

Harrison has revealed secret prison by Anambra vigilantes group called udogachi . They arbitrarily arrest and dump people in their private prison for months and years
He wrote
ILLEGAL DETENTION FACILITY BY UDOGACHI SECURITY OUTFIT HEADED BY SPECIAL ADVISER TO GOVERNOR SOLUDO CHIEF KEN EMEKAYI.
They arrest, detain and don't hand over to the police for prosecution.
They have a hidden Holden cell situated at Lion Base AguAwka where some persons have been held for months without trial.
There is a Doctor named Mark who went for humanitarian aid and it's alleged he's also still there at the detention center.

How can we trust elections if the President picks @inecnigeria officials? An independent umpire appointed by @njcNig, Council of State and @NGRSenate ensures transparency.
