US presses Nigeria to do more to protect Christians

The United States has told Nigeria it must do more to protect Christians as senior officials from both countries meet in Abuja for high level security talks. The comments follow the reported mass kidnapping of worshippers from several churches in Kaduna State, an incident that has triggered local and international concern.​ Allison Hooker, US under secretary of state for political affairs and head of the American delegation, said Nigeria’s government must guarantee that Christians can practise their faith freely and safely. She directly referenced the alleged abduction of more than 170 people from churches in Kajuru Local Government Area.​ Hooker’s remarks reflect the priority US President Donald Trump has placed on what he calls “genocide” and “persecution” of Christians in Nigeria. Washington’s framing has been rejected by the Nigerian government and many analysts, who note that both Muslims and Christians […]

Pope Leo XIV: Violence in Nigeria Targets Both Christians and Muslims

Pope Leo XIV has stated that both Christians and Muslims are victims of Nigeria’s widespread violence, linking the crisis to extremist groups as well as economic and land-related conflicts. In a widely shared video interview from Castel Gandolfo, the Pope explained that “Christians and Muslims have been slaughtered,” and that danger exists in certain areas for all people, not just one religious group. He identified multiple causes for the bloodshed: “There’s a question of terrorism. There’s a question that has to do a lot with economics, if you will, and control of the lands that they have.” Pope Leo XIV urged the Nigerian government to step up efforts to protect all citizens and promote true religious freedom. The Pope previously referenced Nigeria among the countries where Christians face significant persecution, but emphasized a balanced view, recognizing victims across communities. His […]

Nicki Minaj Tells UN: Christians in Nigeria Driven From Homes, Killed

American rapper Nicki Minaj spoke at a United Nations event, claiming Christians in Nigeria are being forced from their homes and killed, echoing recent warnings by former US President Donald Trump. Minaj called attention to burned churches, shattered families, and communities suffering from religious violence. She emphasized that her message was meant to spotlight victims, not to divide, saying, “This is not about taking sides or dividing people, but uniting humanity and standing against injustice.” Minaj also thanked Trump for his leadership on the issue and praised Nigeria’s deep faith traditions and her local fanbase. Trump recently threatened military action, calling Nigeria a “country of particular concern” and referencing attacks by armed groups on Christian villages. The Nigerian presidency rejected the claims, stating violence affects all groups and is primarily driven by land, resource disputes, and criminal gangs. Security analysts […]

Tuggar Debates Genocide Claims With Ex-Canadian Politician on TV

A heated exchange occurred on Piers Morgan’s show as Nigeria’s foreign affairs minister, Yusuf Tuggar, debated with former Canadian lawmaker Goldie Ghamari over claims of mass persecution of Christians in Nigeria. Tuggar rejected figures that claimed over 50,000 Christians have died since 2009, saying official data does not classify victims by religion and all lives are valued equally. He reported that in the past five years, 177 Christians had been killed and 102 churches attacked, countering higher numbers from international groups. Ghamari called Nigeria’s crisis a jihad and suggested links between the Nigerian government and the Islamic Republic of Iran. She criticized the Muslim identities of Nigeria’s president and vice president as problematic, but Tuggar dismissed her remarks, highlighting that Nigeria’s priority is national unity, not faith. Tuggar spoke of his own family’s loss to Boko Haram attacks and stressed […]

African Union Chief Says ‘No Genocide’ in Nigeria’s Troubled North

African Union Commission chair Mahamoud Ali Youssouf has declared there is “no genocide in northern Nigeria,” refuting US President Donald Trump’s recent claims that Christians face mass slaughter at the hands of jihadists. Youssouf stated at a New York press conference that the “complexity of the situation in northern Nigeria should push us to think twice before making such statements.” Youssouf clarified that Boko Haram’s attacks have impacted both Muslim and Christian communities, with Muslims being “the first victims” of the insurgency. Nigeria, with a roughly equal Christian south and Muslim-majority north, experiences indiscriminate violence from jihadist groups, but not targeted Christian genocide. Since 2009, Boko Haram has killed more than 40,000 and displaced over two million, according to UN data. Youssouf stressed that mislabeling the crisis as genocide oversimplifies the grave security challenges facing Nigeria and risks misunderstanding the […]

Nigeria Home to Most Christians in Africa, 4th Worldwide—Report

Nigeria holds the largest Christian population in Africa and now ranks fourth worldwide, with approximately 109 million Christians. According to recent global data compiled from the CIA World Factbook, Pew Research and the UN World Population Prospects, only the United States, Brazil, and Mexico surpass Nigeria in Christian numbers. New religious statistics highlight Nigeria’s key role in the growth of Christianity across the Global South, despite ongoing international scrutiny linked to alleged religious violence. With a population of over 220 million, nearly evenly divided between Islam and Christianity, Nigeria remains a crucial hub for the faith. The country’s prominence has drawn fresh attention following US President Trump’s recent allegations of Christian genocide and threats of intervention. The Nigerian government strongly refuted the accusations, insisting the security crisis impacts all citizens regardless of faith, and results from terrorism and communal disputes. […]

Trump’s Comments Reflect Nigeria’s Deeper Problems, Says Bishop Kukah

Catholic Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah of Sokoto Diocese says recent remarks by former U.S. President Donald Trump on Nigeria point to the country’s ongoing internal problems, rather than being the cause of them. Speaking in Lagos at the 60th birthday celebration for journalist and former presidential aide Reuben Abati, Bishop Kukah addressed Trump’s October 31 statement. Trump had called Nigeria a “Country of Particular Concern” due to reports of attacks on Christians and warned of possible U.S. actions if this continued. Bishop Kukah emphasized that Trump’s comments should make Nigerian leaders reflect on the country’s foundational issues. He noted, “Trump is not our problem. He is only repeating what we have ignored. The real challenge lies within Nigeria.” He described Nigeria as a nation facing weak institutions, unstable values, and a lack of shared national vision. Kukah said, “If we […]
