Trump Says Christians Face ‘Existential Threat’ in Nigeria

Former US President Donald Trump has claimed that Christians in Nigeria are facing an “existential threat,” urging American lawmakers to investigate what he described as a “mass slaughter” in the country. Trump made the statement on Friday via his Truth Social platform, alleging that “radical Islamists” were behind widespread killings of Christians, though he provided no evidence to support his claims. “Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria. Thousands of Christians are being killed. Radical Islamists are responsible for this mass slaughter,” Trump wrote. He also said he was naming Nigeria a “country of particular concern,” a designation used by the US State Department for nations accused of “severe violations of religious freedom.” According to Trump, two US lawmakers have been tasked with investigating the matter. “The United States cannot stand by while such atrocities are happening in Nigeria, […]

Coalition faults push for Sharia law, cites breach of 1999 constitution

A coalition of civil rights and faith-based organisations has condemned renewed efforts to expand the implementation of Sharia law in Nigeria, describing it as a violation of the 1999 Constitution and a threat to national unity and human rights. The coalition, operating under the banner End Sharia Now, includes groups such as One Nation One Law, Global Network of Christian Faith and Truth, and Love a Muslim Ministry. In a statement signed by Benson Sunday on Wednesday, the coalition said attempts to institutionalise Sharia beyond personal faith practices contradict the Constitution’s secular foundation. Responding to comments from some Islamic scholars who argued that there was “no justification for opposing Sharia in Nigeria,” the coalition cited sections 10 and 42 of the 1999 Constitution, which prohibit the adoption of any state religion and guarantee equality of all citizens regardless of faith.

Northern Christian group urges US to reconsider Nigeria sanctions

The Northern Christian Youth Professionals (NCYP) has appealed to the United States government and its lawmakers, including Senator Ted Cruz, to reconsider the move to label Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” over alleged Christian persecution. In a statement on Wednesday, the group said that while it acknowledges the reality of Christian killings in parts of northern Nigeria, such a designation could harm ongoing national efforts to promote peace and unity. The NCYP warned that the proposed action, though well-intentioned, might undermine President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s initiatives aimed at fostering inclusivity and reconciliation across religious and ethnic lines. The group praised President Tinubu for appointing Christians, especially from northern Nigeria, to key administrative and security positions. According to the NCYP’s National Public Relations Officer, Christian Oda, this demonstrates the president’s commitment to fairness and national unity. “This conviction is […]

EU Lawmaker Alleges Christian Genocide in Nigeria, Govt Denies

A European Parliament member, Dominik Tarczyński, has raised a global alarm, alleging a genocide of Christians is taking place in Nigeria. The Polish lawmaker posted a graphic of a blood-stained Nigerian flag on social media, along with a video of a Nigerian pastor pleading for international intervention. In the video, the pastor claims that Christians are being systematically killed and calls on former US President Donald Trump for help. This accusation has been strongly denied by the Nigerian government. The Minister of Information, Mohammed Idris, has previously labeled such claims as "false, baseless, and divisive." The government maintains that the country's security challenges, which include banditry and terrorism, are complex and not a targeted campaign against any single religious group. It warns that such allegations oversimplify the situation and risk fueling dangerous divisions within the country.

Yemi Solade: My life more peaceful since leaving church

Veteran Nollywood actor, Yemi Solade, has revealed that his life has been more peaceful since he stopped attending church in 2013. Speaking on the Honest Bunch podcast, Solade said he decided to withdraw from church after a pastor cautioned him against working on Sundays, a move he found impractical as an actor responsible for his family’s wellbeing. He recalled, “I got into the church with my wife in 2013. I was told to tell producers not to call me for work on Sundays, and I found it disturbing. It is from that work I contribute financially to the church.” Solade explained that contrary to popular belief that people’s lives decline when they stop attending church, his experience has been different. “There’s this notion that if you don’t attend church, your life will nosedive. I have not seen anything change. Rather, […]

Togo : profanation à l’église Maria Auxiliadora de Gbényédzi

Un acte de profanation a profondément marqué la communauté catholique de Lomé. Le 25 août, un individu non identifié a déposé un sachet contenant des excréments humains devant une croix à l’intérieur de l’église Maria Auxiliadora de Gbényédzi, deux jours seulement après l’ordination de neuf nouveaux prêtres. Face à la gravité de cet incident, l’administration apostolique de l’archidiocèse de Lomé a ordonné la fermeture temporaire du lieu de culte. Les responsables religieux ont indiqué qu’une période de purification spirituelle et de recueillement sera observée avant toute réouverture. Ce n’est pas la première fois qu’un tel acte est signalé. Il y a un peu plus d’un an, une profanation similaire avait déjà été constatée dans l’église catholique de Bè-Kpota.
