π₯ "You Can Kill 10 Million & It’s Not Genocide?" – Rufai Oseni Drags Bishop Kukah in Scorching Clash!
Arise TV’s Rufai Oseni has ignited a national firestorm, calling out Bishop Matthew Kukah over "insensitive" remarks that have left Nigerians questioning the church's stance on mass killings and persecution.
The debate over the security of Christians in Nigeria has reached a boiling point after Bishop Matthew Kukah, the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto, allegedly dismissed claims of ongoing genocide. In a viral remark that has sparked outrage, the Bishop argued that genocide is defined by "intent" rather than the number of casualties—suggesting that even a death toll of 10 million might not qualify as genocide if the intent isn't proven.
π―️ "Ask That Man of God": Rufai Strikes Back
Rufai Oseni, the outspoken presenter of Arise TV, did not hold back in his response, labeling the Bishop’s logic as dismissive of the brutal reality on the ground. Oseni challenged the cleric to look at the blood spilled in his own backyard.
“I heard a man of the cloth say you can kill 10m and it will not be genocide,” Oseni wrote. “Ask that man of God, wasn’t it in his state that Deborah [Samuel] was killed? Ask that man of God what happened to 'Thou shalt not kill.'”
Oseni cited the targeted violence against clergymen like Venerable Achi, arguing that when Christians are picked off because of their faith, hair-splitting over legal definitions of "genocide" is a betrayal of the victims.
π―️ The NiemΓΆller Warning: "Then They Came for Me"
Invoking the chilling World War II poem by Pastor Martin NiemΓΆller, Oseni warned that staying silent (or downplaying violence) because you don't fit a specific category is a recipe for total destruction.
First they came for the Communists...
Then they came for the Socialists...
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak out.
Oseni’s message was clear: By refusing to name the victimhood of Christians, leaders may be enabling a future where no one is left to defend the faith.
⚖️ The Great Divide: Intent vs. Body Count
The controversy has split public opinion:
Kukah’s Defenders: Argue that he is using a strict international law definition to avoid polarizing the country further.
Oseni’s Supporters: Argue that when the bodies are piling up, the technicality of "intent" is an insult to grieving families and a dangerous shield for perpetrators.
❓ WHAT IS YOUR TAKE?
Is Bishop Kukah right to focus on the legal definition of "intent," or is Rufai Oseni correct that dismissing millions of deaths is "insensitive"? Does the body count matter more than the motive? Drop your comments below! π⛪️π‘️
