PRESS RELEASE:
VENEZUELA:
STOP SEEKING US PROTECTION – MURIC
An Islamic human rights
organization, the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has advised Nigerians to stop
seeking the protection and intervention of the United States in the affairs of
Nigeria to avoid the fate of Venezuela.
The group gave the advice in a press statement issued on Monday,
5th January, 2026 by its Executive Director, Professor Ishaq
Akintola.
He said:
"United States troops raided Venezuela on Saturday, 3rd
January, 2026, captured President Nicola Maduro Moro and took him to the US. Thereafter,
President Donald Trump announced that the US would run Venezuela and
control its 303.3 billion barrels vast crude oil reserves. We have no scintilla
of doubt that discerning Nigerians have already imbibed one or two lessons from
this incident.
"Nigerians
must learn from Venezuela. America used hard drugs as an excuse there. They are
all Christians, yet America has now taken control of their oil. Venezuela is a
timely lesson for Nigeria.
"It
is time to listen to well-meaning Nigerians who warned earlier that America was
only using religion and the false narrative of Christian genocide to penetrate
Nigeria for the exploitation of our resources. Those Nigerians are not even
Muslims. Among them are Bishop Kukah, Fani Kayode, Reno Omokri, etc).
"Terrorists are killing Muslims on a daily basis in Kwara,
Katsina, Kebbi, Borno, etc. It happened up till yesterday with between 42 and
52 people killed in Kasuwan-Daji market in Agwarra Local Government and many
abducted (https://www.thecable.ng/gunmen-kill-42-abduct-children-in-niger-state-community/).
"Information reaching MURIC from our Niger State branch
indicates that about 95% of the victims are Muslims. The optics on ground belie
Christian genocide narrative. Majority of the Muslims killed in Kasuwan-Daji
market in Niger State two days ago were slaughtered.
"Those who invited the US over this fabricated, imaginary
and malicious allegation of Christian genocide, their sponsors and supporters
are therefore selling their country to Western imperialists and they will all
regret it when the US recalibrates the Venezuela scenario in Nigeria because
their children may also become victims along with both Christians and Muslims.
“MURIC considers Nigerians lucky because Trump was about to come here
‘with guns ablazing’. He did come but he was distracted by the empty bravado of
Nicolas Maduro Moro. The US president quickly did his calculations and found Venezuela’s
massive 303.3 billion barrels of crude oil sitting next door more attractive
than Nigeria’s 37.28 billion barrels.
“But it is not over yet. Nigeria is still the leading producer of
crude oil in the whole of Africa and the aroma of delicious handiworks of
Nigerian chefs may still attract Trump particularly if Christian genocide
hallucinators, sponsors and supporters are still very active.
“MURIC calls on Nigerians to evolve a united front. We call for a
change of mindset, particularly in the camp of promoters of Christian genocide version
of the Nigerian story. It is the path to self-destruction. Trump is merely
seeking to fulfill his campaign promise of Greater America.
“We are not saying America should not be great. We have said it
before and we will repeat it here again: the average American is humane,
loving, idealistic. America is already great and we are not thinking of pulling
it down. It should remain great but not on an altar painted with the blood of
innocent Nigerians, not on the extensive graveyards of deprived, impoverished and
dehumanised Nigerian hoi polloi.
"Beware
of a situation where monkey will work but baboon will chop. Beware of turning
Nigeria to a country like Venezuela where Nigerians will work and America will
cart away the fruits. Beware of turning over our milk and honey to foreigners.
It will be too late to cry if this warning goes unheeded. Nigeria's 37.28
billion barrels of crude oil and other mineral resources are on our minds. Do
not say we did not warn you".
