Israel just destroyed a 1,900-year-old mausoleum of Simon Peter the Apostle of Christ in southern Lebanon.
So what do you have to say about the Christians in Palestine and Lebanon?
Do they not count?
MESSAGE TO THE WORLD ABOUT MY COUNTRY, NIGERIA
I heard Trump speaking arrogantly and disrespectfully about my country, Nigeria. What we want him and the world to understand is this: Nigeria is not like those other nations you look down upon, the ones you exploit and destabilize under the disguise of “liberation” just to steal their resources.
Yes, Nigeria has its problems corruption, hardship, and an ongoing struggle to grow as a nation. We face challenges daily, and life can be tough. But none of this makes us forget that every grain of this land is ours, and every natural resource within it belongs to us.
We have endured conditions many people could never survive. Our parents and grandparents lived through coups, poverty, and suffering, yet they remained loyal to this nation. We were born into their struggle, and we carry their resilience. No hardship has ever made us turn our backs on our country and it never will.
Let it be known: we choose to live and die as free Nigerians. We reject any so-called “liberation” from foreign powers. We have seen what you did to nations like Iraq, Syria, Palestine, Sudan, Libya, and Vietnam, you destroyed them in the name of freedom, and they are still suffering from the ruins you left behind.
If any country truly wishes to help Nigeria, then do so with respect and dignity. Our nation is far too strong and rich in spirit and resources to be bullied or manipulated. And if it ever comes to that, we are ready to defend Nigeria with everything we have our voices, our strength, our very lives.
We may have internal differences, but if any nation dares to invade or exploit our land under the pretense of help, we will stand united Muslims and Christians alike to fight anyone who tries to oppress us, even if we must stand alone.

Why are we threatening war with Nigeria? Here’s why:
Nigeria was the single largest recipient of Chinese construction financing in the first half of 2025, with $21 billion in construction deals, making it a focal point for China’s Belt and Road Initiative. In addition, in late October 2025, Nigeria and China signed a major $3.5 billion investment partnership. This agreement focuses on boosting Nigeria’s infrastructure, energy, and manufacturing sectors, including the construction of new solar power plants, modernization of rail lines connecting major cities and expansion of industrial parks. The partnership is seen as a transformative move for Nigeria’s economic strategy.
….But if the country is in ruin because of war in the name of “saving Christians” China can’t expand their belt and road. That’s the REAL reason we’re threatening Nigeria.
Best Video I’ve watch so far. “Nigeria’s unity is not up for negotiation. If the world insists on watching, then let the world watch us rise together.” Share far and wide!! 🇳🇬
@ShehuAA Omo ole barawo. If your father had invested the money he stole from National Treasury maybe your brothers who have been recruited as boko haram terrorists and bandits would have been better than the mess created by your corrupt leaders.
A lot of Nigerians bent on sentiments, do not understand sovereign pride. You cannot support a foreign country against yours, or blackmail your country because you disagree with it. Even worse, believing that another country has authority over yours; that’s the highest form of indignity.
U.S. decision on Nigeria exposes hypocrisy and ignorance
By: Zagazola Makama
The latest statement by the U.S. President Donald Trump, designating Nigeria as a “country of particular concern,” is not only disappointing but downright insulting to the intelligence of anyone who truly understands the dynamics of the Nigerian crisis.
It is, frankly, a shame that a country as sophisticated as the United States could allow itself to be misled by a handful of fabricated reports sponsored by those desperate to divide Nigeria along religious lines. The so-called figures and claims being brandished are not only exaggerated but deliberately concocted to paint Nigeria as a failed and faith-hostile state.
One must ask: who benefits from this reckless labeling? Certainly not the Nigerian people and definitely not the thousands of civilians and security forces who have sacrificed their lives confronting terrorism. The real winners here are the terrorists themselves. They must be laughing in their hideouts, knowing full well that such pronouncements will only make it harder for Nigeria to procure the arms and equipment it needs to finish them off.
This is not the first time the U.S. has played this dangerous double game blocking legitimate arms sales to Nigeria under the guise of “human rights” while turning a blind eye to the suffering caused by terrorism in the Sahel. Meanwhile, the same terrorists continue to receive weapons smuggled through Niger, Sudan, and Libya, the so-called “corridors of chaos” that America’s foreign policy helped create in the first place.
Just yesterday, Jama’at Nasr al-Islam wal Muslimin (JNIM) announced its presence in Nigeria and launched an attack in Kwara State, a clear indication that the threat is expanding. Yet, instead of supporting Nigeria’s counterterrorism efforts, the U.S. seems more interested in playing politics with tragedy.
Nigeria does not need lectures from abroad. What it needs is honest partnership and respect not condescension and propaganda-driven judgments that embolden the very enemies of peace.
“There is no superior race.
There is no ‘chosen people of God’.
It is neither the United States nor Israel.
The ‘chosen people of God’ is all of humanity.”

Nigeria stands firmly as a democracy governed by constitutional guarantees of religious liberty.
Since 2023, our administration has maintained an open and active engagement with Christian and Muslim leaders alike and continues to address security challenges which affect citizens across faiths and regions.
The characterisation of Nigeria as religiously intolerant does not reflect our national reality, nor does it take into consideration the consistent and sincere efforts of the government to safeguard freedom of religion and beliefs for all Nigerians.
Religious freedom and tolerance have been a core tenet of our collective identity and shall always remain so. Nigeria opposes religious persecution and does not encourage it.
Nigeria is a country with constitutional guarantees to protect citizens of all faiths.
Our administration is committed to working with the United States government and the international community to deepen understanding and cooperation on protection of communities of all faiths.

A Reading of President Trump’s Statement on Nigeria
Perhaps comprehension has become a casualty in this debate, but I find it difficult to understand how anyone can claim that U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent statement on faith-based violence in Nigeria aligns with the sectarian agenda advanced by certain groups. Two points stand out clearly in his comments. First, he deliberately avoided describing the situation in Nigeria as “genocide,” instead using the phrase “existential threat to Christians.” Secondly, and crucially, he identified radical Islamists, not the Nigerian state, and certainly not Nigerian Muslims, as the perpetrators of violence. These distinctions matter greatly, as they contradict the divisive rhetoric being promoted by those seeking to pit one faith community against another.
This is not the first time President Trump has raised concerns about alleged one-sided violence against Christians. During former President Muhammadu Buhari’s visit to the White House on April 30, 2018, President Trump remarked, “We’re deeply concerned by religious violence in Nigeria, including the burning of churches and the killing of Christians.” In response, President Buhari, while framing the violence as indiscriminate, acknowledged the challenge of violent herdsmen and cross-border recruits from Libya and the Sahel, and stressed that his government was doing its best to stabilise the situation.
There is a reason that moment remains instructive. Rather than amplifying a narrative of state-sponsored sectarian extermination, the U.S. side identified religious violence as one of several security concerns. The Nigerian side responded by framing the violence as part of complex socio-security dynamics, not as a conspiracy of Muslims against their Christian compatriots.
It also bears reiterating that the claim of “genocide” against Christians in Nigeria does not meet the legal definition established under the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. The Convention defines genocide as acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group as such. There is no credible evidence that the Nigerian government is masterminding the destruction of Christians. The origins and dimensions of violence in Nigeria are unmistakable. They are rooted in terrorism, banditry, communal conflicts, resource competition, and, admittedly, weak governance over the years. This does not amount to the state-directed and systematic campaign that the term “genocide” presupposes.
President Trump’s statement, while emotively focused on Christian victims, does not mirror the propaganda promoted by some far-right commentators who claim that the Nigerian government turns a blind eye to attacks on Christians or that Nigerian Muslims are complicit. On the contrary, he singled out radical extremists. This distinction aligns with the Nigerian government’s own position and reflects the sacrifices of its multi-faith armed forces in confronting terrorism across the Sahel and West Africa.
The line between NGO activism and diplomatic engagement is clear. Activism draws its energy from outrage, while diplomacy thrives on dialogue. In this regard, the response of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs exemplifies the restraint and statesmanship required in such a situation. It acknowledges the concerns raised, reaffirms Nigeria’s commitment to religious freedom, and emphasises partnership with the United States in tackling violent extremism, which is the central theme of President Trump’s statement. 1/2
DEAR @realDonaldTrump@POTUS, @america,
Stop twisting the narrative. These are terrorists, not Muslims, not Christians, just bloodthirsty criminals destroying lives everywhere. Muslims are being slaughtered too, mosques burned, families displaced. This isn’t about religion, it’s about evil and failed leadership. Call it what it is: terrorism, not “Radical Islam.”
