🇳🇬 BURSTED – Nigerian Government Spends $9 Million to Sell ‘Christian Protection’ Propaganda in the US!
Nigeria’s federal government has signed a $9 million, one-year lobbying contract with DCI Group, a US-based firm with Republican links, including advisor Roger Stone, a close ally of former US President Donald Trump.
The deal was arranged by Aster Legal on behalf of National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu and filed under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).
Under the contract, DCI Group is tasked with promoting a narrative of the Nigerian government’s protection of Christian communities, while also seeking to maintain US support for countering jihadist groups like Boko Haram and ISIS affiliates.
Nine staff, including Justin Peterson and Doug Davenport, are assigned to manage the campaign.
Observers describe the agreement as a high-profile propaganda effort, aimed at shaping international perception and influencing US policymakers, rather than addressing the root causes of insecurity.
At $750,000 per month, it is reportedly one of the largest lobbying contracts ever secured by an African country in Washington.
The deal comes amid rising scrutiny of attacks on Christians in Nigeria and exposes the government’s continued failure to protect vulnerable communities at home.
By the way, the fact that the $9m waste dumped on that DC PR firm eventually leaked, is a clear pointer the mission has been aborted before it even began. No one makes something like this public, intentionally.
We’re the media now. No PR machine on earth can match our collective firepower. Nigeria will eventually learn the hard way.
President Tinubu is spending $9 MILLION (over ₦14 billion) on a D.C. lobbying firm—complete with Roger Stone and Trump-connected operatives—to convince Republicans that Nigeria is “protecting Christians.”
Meanwhile Fulani militants keep raiding villages, burning churches, and slaughtering innocents in the Middle Belt—thousands dead in recent years, attacks ongoing.
This isn’t protection.
This is narrative warfare paid for with public money.
Real security for Nigerian Christians > Washington PR spin.

Time they say waits for no one….
Subtract 10 years from your current age; that is exactly how old you were when APC came to power in 2015.
It has been 10 plus wasted years with NO SINGLE growth in any sector except CORRUPTION.
Here are a few of the brazen examples…
@peter_ameh The truth that we must tell ourselves is that this government headed by Tinubu doesn't mean well for Nigeria. This man came to steal, kill, and destroy both us and the economy.
The earlier we get both him and his cronies out of the way, the better for us.
