US Congress lists steps to tackle Christian persecution in Nigeria

The United States Congress has outlined a series of measures it says are needed to tackle the growing persecution of Christians and wider insecurity in Nigeria. Lawmakers recommended reforms in security, justice, financial oversight and foreign policy as part of a broader strategy.​ The proposals follow a report prepared for President Donald Trump by a congressional panel he set up to investigate the situation of Christians in Nigeria. Congress urged the president to formally classify Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern, name and shame perpetrators of attacks, impose sanctions on them and keep enforcing visa bans.​ The report describes Nigeria as one of the deadliest places in the world to be a Christian and cites years of violent attacks, killings, kidnappings and the destruction of churches and schools by armed groups, including Fulani militias and terrorist organisations. Lawmakers said […]

IK Ogbonna slams ‘dirty politics’ hurting Nigerian cinema

Actor IK Ogbonna has criticised what he calls “politics” and unfair practices in Nigeria’s cinema industry, alleging that Ini Edo’s film A Very Dirty Christmas has been deliberately undermined. He said the situation makes it difficult for filmmakers to recover their investments despite putting in huge effort and resources.​ In a post on Instagram, Ogbonna claimed that some cinemas have repeatedly shifted showtimes, removed the movie from scheduled slots and even turned off air conditioning in halls showing the film. He added that celebrities doing meet and greets have had unpleasant experiences, while some front desk staff allegedly influence customers away from certain films through biased suggestions.​ Ogbonna urged cinema operators and the producers involved in such actions to stop, warning that these tactics are damaging the entire industry.

AGN president urges CAN to reconsider stance on Ini Edo’s A Very Dirty Christmas

Outgoing Actors Guild of Nigeria president, Dr Ejezie Emeka Rollas, has called for calm and constructive dialogue between the Christian Association of Nigeria and the creative industry over reactions to Ini Edo’s film A Very Dirty Christmas. CAN had described the movie’s title as offensive to Christianity.​ Rollas argued that the title is not an insult to the Christian faith but a metaphorical and creative expression. He said it was intended to reflect the complex and sometimes messy realities that can surround the Christmas season, not to mock or trivialise Christian beliefs.​ In a statement, he noted that a full viewing of the film shows no scenes that ridicule or undermine Christianity. According to him, criticisms based only on the title would benefit from a more complete engagement with the movie itself.​ Rollas stressed that Christmas remains a sacred season […]

Ini Edo begs NFVCB not to pull film from cinemas

Actress and filmmaker Ini Edo has appealed to the National Film and Video Censors Board and the public not to pull her new movie, A Very Dirty Christmas, from cinemas, insisting the film does not mock Christianity.

He asked how it reflects Christian values to ignore the project during its development and promotion, only to speak up after […]

Trump: Diplomatic Engagements Yielding Results — FG

The Federal Government of Nigeria says ongoing diplomatic dialogue with the US under President Trump is producing “positive results,” opening channels for mutual understanding and practical cooperation on security, economic, and religious tensions. Information Minister Mohammed Idris highlights better US appreciation of Nigeria's complex social challenges and urges continued partnership to combat terrorism. US Congressman Bill Huizenga criticizes Nigeria’s handling of Christian attacks, advocating economic sanctions over military intervention and calling out failures to protect all citizens. US-Nigeria ties face scrutiny after Trump’s viral remarks threatening intervention. Nigerian leaders argue for economic pressure rather than armed response. Vatican Envoy Archbishop Fortunatus Nwachukwu and Northern CAN urge dialogue, not anger, to resolve religious violence, while Afenifere warns against full-scale US military campaigns—advocates intelligence sharing and limited operations via drones instead. Senator Orji Kalu affirms both Christians and Muslims are victims of […]
