I saw this video online and I felt it need to be objectively scrutinize firstladyship renoomokri fkeyamo 'ASIRI TU O ! SEE THOSE WHO PLOT WITH FŮLANI TO B©MB OWO CHURCH FOR MONEY.... - YouTube'

Why they can’t bring her back alive. None-sense

It pains me how people normally used to relate with religion matters for example when John commit a crime then blame John alone but when abdullahi commit a crime it becomes the fault of Muslims. My religion as Islam is perfect but me I'm not perfect.

When you live in a mix of people where they are highly religious you have to adapt with their way of life their religion and respect whatever they are doing even if it means they are worshiping stone...

Nigerians are hypocrite wallahi 😭😭 the life of a pregnant woman and her four children that was been killed by the christians in the eastern Nigeria no Muslim complained about or drag the issue to the 🌎 when you live in a certain environment you learn to adapt to the environmen

If abuse or blasphemy against prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam and islam, is what American and Christians enjoying then killing whoever done this is what we would enjoy. Since violence is what you need lets continue blasphemy and be honored in your graves after killed

Continue with your hate speeches against musulims and islam it would never bring Deborah alive. To have peace with us,you must stop blasphemy and enemity against our religion, otherwise someone one should try what Deborah has done in Kano and be honored by America after his death

atiku How far?

People in this comment section don’t know what it means to honor someone.

Na when person die dem dey show face. Now everybody dey shout no help, once the people rise dem go carry their dead body con do show biz

Allah tsine musu

Continue to rest in peace of Christ daughter of Zion

The US should Honour George Floyd and all the numerous victims of police brutality in the US. Nonsense people

I just want hear if if justice has been serve to those killers

Her blood must cry out

Yes is good to be stoned

Well may her gentle soul rest in peace, but for real u.s no try at all instead to nack d zoology republic sanctions over what happened na medicine after death b this nau

Anyone who felt the pain the pain this young girl went through before she gave up ghost should not dare vote Atiku. Because of his political interest he deleted a comment he made when this girl was gruesomely murdered . Take Note Christians in the North.

Well, so be it. Her name is also registered amongst those that insulted the most precious creatures and servants of the Almighty

If she had applied for usa visa would they have granted her ?... honour my foot. Will that bring her bck

People who retweeted the video of how that pastor was harassed in Dai-Dai market Abuja are still retweeting this one when they are actually not different from those who killed her.

atiku

And what for the suspects ?

Well done United States of America.

May you rest in perfect peace my love 💓 ❤️

I hope they haven’t forgotten Leah Sharibu

May her soul rest in peace. I place judgment on all those who were involved in the barbaric act.

Medicine after death.

Bcs she insult our prophet Muhammad SAW I know she's in hellfire now insha Allah

Nigerian government's duty is to keep terrorist. America honor dead blacks, racism and no equality. Britain is on divide and rule, stealing African man resources Documents of many whites in Africa have expired, but they repatriates any African anyhow. Africa! Return be urself.

ObaJaiyeoba Rest In Peace. justicefordeborah

Honor

Shame on US and USCIRF

U S honour but how about Nigeria government? they will never do that because killing of their people as become a tradition

I’m sad for her but Nigeria as a whole needs therapy, knowing fully well we cannot delete 98% of the country. Both the ruled and rulers are sick.

This is not enough U.S should ask Atiku and Aminu Tambawa to explain to them the reason behind that killed.

And so? US is only promoting Islamaphobia nothing else.

Deborah matters to foreigners. But one perennial presidential candidate thought it best to delete a tweet condemning her murder to be politically correct.

Atiku feels her killer doesn't deserve to be questioned because of his presidential ambitions, therefore, Atiku is not different from Buhari and shettima.

Eye service! Will this bring her back? Stop this hypocrisy 😒.

God bless 🇺🇸

May her death continue to be a curse for generations to her killers and the land of Sokoto and all those that supported her killing and her killers either expressly or impliedly!😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Hippocrates

Rest in peace at the right hand 🙌 of God Deborah, cos you die for Christ. And ur sins have been forgiven😌 🙏🏿

Make una tag renoomokri

renoomokri your master tweeted and deleted this! Religious bigot!

This is damage control by Evil falling hegemony, USA. They’re not fighting for your rights rather their interest. Don’t get fooled

American always celebrate the dead. What are they doing to stop such barbaric act from being meted to other Christians in the Zoo. More are being massacred on daily basis. Just wondering how many more awards they're going to honor the dead with.

I stand for justice

Where is a link with proof that the U.S is doing the honoring? I cannot find anything online except for Nigeria’s sites with the claims.

Rest on sis

I have not heard that a Christian killed a Muslim for blasphemy in my entire life..

Oriwon buru Will they tell us they don’t have hands in the genocide happening in the nation or they don’t hear about it

Hmmm

Say whatever you wanna say but none of you guys including U.S can bring Deborah alive again.

That's it, no one will be healed accountable.. welcome to the zoo

Meanwhile the Unifaya of PDP still hasn't clarified his cowardly act of deleting his condemnation of the murder.

Laugh in capital letter Agony. It’s shameful what Nigeria is today

Shame on President MBuhari and his government. We heard their silence. And another country's government took steps to condemn this atrocious act. Never again should Buhari and his team happen to Nigeria.

Reno's boss got hit by a stray bullet all the way from US

This sahara too dey lie,disregard this,nah fake

They should do more in desolving that demonic contraption

Rubbish

Let them bring her back to life if they could..... nonsense set of people

Nigerians are intoxicated by religion. Phew!

Iamapollopaulo How much did your government give to their family?

Attention: MBuhari NigeriaGov AWTambuwal PoliceNG what has been done to those arrested in connection with the gruesome murder of DeborahSamuel? POTUS USArmy 10DowningStreet EU_Commission EUCouncil EuroParlPress EUinNigeria NigBarAssoc AbdulMahmud01 CNN BBCAfrica

Even atiku abubakar sided with her killers and today he is contesting to be president. May we never be unfortunate to have such barbaric fellow as our leader

This is so sad

Well done U. S, but she is gone because of her expression. Please U.S. ask Nigeria Government to conduct REFERENDUM.

Where are the criminals that killed her? If na Southern part they would have been arrested oo. Koburu

Honor her does it change that she’s dead were the perpetrators brought to book? Took a life u can’t give what a country

To all those who murdered this innocent young girl or supports it, may untimely death never cease in their family and community. May they be overran by terrorist and bandits. Help will never come their way. Sicknesses and diseases shall befall them and their children.

Nigeria mocked her, even a Presidential candidate wished she never existed and deleted a tweet he earlier made condemning the act. In far away America, she has been recognized. Talk about civilization and a people!

Hypocrites of the highest order!

This same subject was why I quit my support for PDP Presidential candidate.

Sad! US, pls stop honoring dead pple! Life is 4 d living not dead! That, u cant giv me when am alive, dont giv me when am dead. Stop Nig govt towards d killings of Nigerians especially Christians, peaceful agitators, their illegal detentions etc. Hold them to a/c 4 any death.

While a presidential candidate deleted his tweet😐

I hope they will honour Sheikh Goni Aisami who was killed recently by a soldier who suppose to protect him

It very painful that under the administration of President Muhammed Buhari the death of Deborah Samuel is swept under carpet

Which honour naija govt give the innocent girl?

That's a country where the sanctity life is valued and recognised.

Thats from behind. Why not bring her life back

Don23846517 Unfortunately,she'd never know about this...

So many needless dead.please don't sent your kid to that part of Nigeria

As dem don honor her, dem go give her family asylum?

When and only you carried the report?

I guess it's OK.. what she did.

What about Fatima and her four daughter that were killed by IPOB, Sahara reporters u are not updating us about that, why do you choose between evils.

I choose humanity over religion tbh. May her soul find peace

Religion is not the problem of africans, tell me when in your life did u ever had about a religious fight between Yoruba Muslims and Yoruba Christians, our real problem is tribalism, and we hide under religion to attack the minority tribe.

Killing Deborah was wrong but the way the world reacted to it is amazing, if u go to Igbo land now and insult nmandi kanu, they will 100%kill u, u go to any village and insult their traditional leader, they will kill u, people even kill without reason, remember the Anambra woman

I thought her killers were arrested. Na so e turn to once upon a time, you living in poverty still killing each based on religion. Hunger go kill una

Rest on Deborah

Rubbish, when will they honour the victim of Israel atrocities in palastain?

US always like this US

This is how a civilized country behaves ... A country that values lives and not Afghanistan bound country always killing humans in the name of religion

😭😭😭 Rest on dear

What is use of honoring a dead, USA should come and do the needful in Nigeria

Till date,the federal govt has refused to prosecute the perpetrators of that violent crime.

May she continue to Rest in Peace... May GOD continue to Bless America

Shame on you renoomokri & atiku

Chimscogab495 Meanwhile the man that wants to be your president deleted his tweet. And people that told you that Muslim/Muslim ticket is not a threat.

May her gentle soul continue to rest in perfect peace!

What the SokotoGovtHouse did not have the guts to do. Once religion becomes a vessel for the transfer of hate then it becomes counter productive and that's not the aim of any religion.

Please USinNigeria do the needful to stop further splitting of Innocent blood. Allow referendum for the biafra and stop All your irrelevant honour.

Yet atiku deleted the tweet condemning her murder

God bless the United States of America.

God bless America

I am a Muslim and I never support this act, this act is baseless in Islam.

May Allah Destroy US

Shame on you Atiku! And other hypocritical bigots that rejoiced over her death.

Hypocrisy

What is right by you is what you call freedom but you don't what freedom should be.

She need justice not honour.

And they are yet to bring those behind this to book ..shameless country

Honour? What are they doing to avoid such from happening again ? It shouldn't just end in honoring the deceased, measures should be taken to avoid such barbaric act from repeating itself.

This is exactly what republicans are trying to make America To look like. Selling national security secrets and disobeying grand jury requests. Republicans are a danger to America.

She would have be a great assets to Nigeria 🇳🇬. But the blood thirsty Islamists cut her short. I wonder what sort of barbaric religion that is.

My country couldn't What a country

May your Soul Rest in Peace

THIS IS JAMBOREE... WESTERNERS AND POLITICS..

OkoroOkoroafor And what about those that stoned and burnt her ? This is injustice hidden in posthumous honour. They must be brought to book.

Madness what will happen to the people that committed the offense? Jail

But atiku deleted the tweet he managed to post condemning the act Now that same Atiku wants to be president

igbo_star

How America hates Islam. They honoured her just because she insulted d Prophet of Islam n nothing else. Hundred of Nigerians are being killed and maimed daily based on religious or ideological violence but America has never even commiserated with the Govt or rendered assistance.

God bless the United States of America for honouring her this is the duty of our government but they're too many bigotry in our current government cabinet than ever, at least the family of Deborah would be happy despite the reflection of Nigeria states.

What is the honour all about

Northern Muslims are in high religious bondage. God himself cherished humanity than religion that's why he said let's make human in our own image. Islamic agenda want to destroy humanity because of religion. Our Lord Jesus Christ said love your neighbor as yourself. Don't kill..

They always want us to see them as gods, All because One tribe Vuulani their slve Raiders.

Individual honour

Deborah oh Deborah My babe, my love That innocent lady That beautiful lady That unassuming lady That lady with a good heart Always smiling, always cheerful The wicked stoned you to death Not satisfied, they burnt you But you're not dead Though your killers live but they are dead

This kind of evil 👿 will continue if Islamic idealistic allow to rain down all over Nigeria of cause I see it coming if allow Muslim Muslim ticket

We’ve not heard of any arrest still because elements of this government actually supported this criminal act. Supporting this alone is criminal. This government is also complicit.

Athiefku and his supporters will never like this News. Killing innocent girl and supporting them... Such man cannot be my president

Mercy after death, God forbid!!

THey should get lost please..

Never forget Deborah. VOTE APC AND PDP BACK TO WHERE THEY BELONG.

Hypocrisy. After that you will send grants and host their leaders without addressing religious intolerance.

Is that what we need? They should be ready to honour more who will be killed by this dangerous religious bigots in the north. Nonsense.

Make us rest abeg

US hypocrates

US should stop this hypocrisy of waiting for more Christians to be killed and burnt so they can come on Twitter to mourn them. We need a referendum in Nigeria, if you want to help the situation in the country that's the best way to help, a ' referendum '.

And Atiku denied a tweet condemning her death all because some religious vagabonds threatened he had lost 1M votes 🗳 in the North. Keep Resting Deborah Samuel.

What's the benefit of honour to a dead person, instead of sanctioning the government for all the innocent killings going on in the country they are even bringing back Abacha loot for them to reloot.

Good pipo are not hard to know.. d useless night govt will never do dis.. Deborah is with the lord.. US thank you for d honor

As long as Nigeria continues to exist, many will continue to be victim of religious violence. To end religious violence end Nigeria.

U. S are bunch of jokers.

One of many sin of our Muslim brothers. I hope they are regretting their actions. Because this things gives u bad image before the global world. No matter how u justify religious killing. The world sees it as terrorism and extremism

May her soul rest in peace

Up till date no one knows what's up with the case .

Some bastards believe she 'crossed' some hard line.

The same US has not honor the Palestinian American journalists shot by Israel. We know their mission in Africa.

Atiku deleted his tweet because of election and fear of his people. What kind of president will he make? renoomokri

This is the evil buhari,apc and pdp have brought to Nigeria, sowing politics of religious division and evil

The same pipo who supported Deborah’s d€*th didn’t condemn AGF ACcountant general looting. officialEFCC . How far with AGF wen will he be amputat£d . Una no fit catch am?

A note worthy gesture by the U.S. Nigeria is firmly under the grip of those who sympathize with religious barbarism. The devil and demons controled religion has made herself known to those who care to know. Revelation 18:4; 'GET OUT OF HER'!

Where is Atiku he deleted tweet and and he want to be president. Let him go and rule Deborah killers. Nonsense

Christianity is against blasphemy, she did wrong and she was treated wrongly. Honoring her wouldn't bring her back to life. So me it doesn't make sense 🙄

atiku d unifier Tanx for d deleted message

The world can’t just wait to honor a dead person …stop it before it happens

Northerners who are extremists needs to be taught a lesson and let them know they can't kill someone cause of blasphemy.. who does that sh1t?

Chai mày her soul rest in peace In Jesus Mighty Name Amennn

Rubbish

The horror, the mental torture, the trauma to her family may never be erased for eternity. Yet, her killers, fellow students, whose hands are soiled with her blood, and known to security agencies are moving about freely in Sokoto. That such could happen in this modern age? OMG!

We don't need Honour, all we ask for is plebiscite so we can choose our faith by ourselves. Too many people has died and honoring the dead changes nothing.

Wiiiked soul adamugarba Mr Redline, come and iittt her. God will never forgive wicked souls that supported or committed this heinous crime.

Nigerian christians have forgotten to honor our myrthred ones. May her soul rest in peace.

US should insist that the perpetrators should be brought to justice publicly!

Buhari and others must sabi this... The super-power nations are watching... Just be careful

Divide Nigeria,so that the North can stay there own and stone them self as the like,and praise Boko Haram as they like,

Yet killers were allowed to slip away. Till date, no prosecution for a crime that was caught on video!

That's not enough we want u to apply the law of Moses and stop been cowards

Atiku won't like this

Since how many months now!!

AWTambuwal what is happening with Deborah's case

Atiku of PDP denied her. renoomokri dino_melaye DrOkaforEmmanu1

Can anyone update us on her killers, what was done to them?

Peter obi should tell us how to solve this NONCENCE. What about the Hisba police harassment and criminality in the north. Nigeria is Unworkable EndNigerianow stop been decive REFERENDUMNOW befor Elections May her soul rest in peace

She was a fine lady. May her soul rest in perfect peace in the blossom of the Lord.

Political gimmick

I wish US can grant her immediate family Asylum too.

That's why I can't take any presidential candidate that deleted any of their tweet that condemned the killing of Deborah. It means in their time, if they eventually get the power, they will be in support of the same killings.

But atiku supported the muhammadian murderers that killed her... And I doubt Thiefnibu and fulanii slave boy PeterObi even condemned it..

But atiku supported the muhammadian murderers that killed her... And I doubt Thiefnibu and fulanii slave boy PeterObi even condemn it..

They can reach out to her family too.

They said authorities tried to stop it, correction, authorities never tried to intervene so they just let it happen.

But one candidate deleted his tweet condemning her killing.

God no go allow person blow wen e don die ooo..chia,it's sad

Tragic ,may her soul rest in peace but we must also remember others who were lynched in the south as well .

It not enough, the criminals need to be charged USinNigeria UNHumanRights UN hrw POTUS SecBlinken antonioguterres amnestyusa amnesty

US that's still holding Nigeria under slavery who had certain tribe a it's chief security. We know who the enemy of Nigeria is.

🙏

🤣🤣🤣🤣

USA go and tell UK 🇬🇧 government that the people they gave power are killing so many innocent nigerians...UK government knows them. May you continue to rest in peace .

May we not be honored in death is Jesus name. Amen 🙏

Religion is problem of we Africans My own cousin told me in the hospital that the reason why I has an accident is because of don't know God , he forget that John the Baptist head was cut off to pleasing woman, I know God i don't believe in Religion. Thanks

Atiku will not like this!!!

You forgotten about her may her soul rest in perfect peace 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️

U. S. Always honours African when they lost their life. But when they calling for help U. S. Will never honours.

Where is Atiku tweet about her death...am asking you renoomokri

atiku would be proud of this news

Very very sad 😭😭😭

Her country did not honour her, it's US. God bless United States.

Remember one Presidential aspirant deleted his tweet about this claiming he did not approve of it... Shine ya eyes

Her killers are still roaming free protected by the Islamic Northern Dominated Nigerian State many of whom endorsed her killing & congratulated her killers. I have always said that RELIGION IS A CURSE TO HUMANITY & I'm unapologetic about it

Of what effect is their honour since they couldn't do anything to avert further occurrence

The u.s government should have ask Buhari how judged the case of debora

Her memory shall always remain with us.

That's not the solution to the problem. The world leaders should come together, put an end to religion as the came together to start it.

firstladyship

Then how much did they give to her family? Or just paper honor.

The world is watching

Atiku Abubakar was glad you was killed, if your spirit is somewhere, torment him together with the rest of your killers

But a coward who wants to be President deleted tweets.

Glory after Death 🤦‍♂️. Humanity is my Religion

So Sad
