TFOH.
Why do you Muslim love deviating from the main issue to deceive the gullible ones ?
We are talking about how people are being killed everyday by Islamists that are forcing their ideology on non Muslims , and here talking about violence that’s happening within the same people that’s practicing the same faith.. Stop comparing orange and apple …
If we must go that way, then let’s start discussing about life and Modakeke crisis…
This is a religious issue mr man, stop being mischievous .. We know what you are up to … Stop obfuscating!!
U.S. Congressman Describes Nigeria As ‘Deadliest Place Globally To Be A Christian,’ Calls For Sanctions, Arms Ban
A U.S. lawmaker, Riley M. Moore, has called on Secretary of State Marco Rubio to immediately take decisive diplomatic action against the Nigerian government over what he described as the “systematic persecution and slaughter of Christians” in the country.
In a letter dated October 6, 2025, and addressed to Rubio, who currently serves as U.S. Secretary of State, Moore said Nigeria has become the “deadliest place in the world to be a Christian,” urging the U.S. to “use all diplomatic tools available”, including halting arms sales to Nigeria and redesignating it as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) under the U.S. International Religious Freedom Act.
"I write to urge you to take immediate action to address the systematic persecution and slaughter of Christians in Nigeria. As a Christian nation founded upon biblical principles, the United States bears a unique obligation to stand for the freedom and protection of Christians worldwide,” the letter reads.
"Nigeria has become the deadliest place in the world to be a Christian, and the United States cannot stand idly by. I urge you to use all diplomatic tools available, including designating Nigeria a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) and halting arms sales and all associated technical support until the Nigerian government demonstrates it is sufficiently committed to ending this reign of persecution and slaughter."
The Congressman cited chilling statistics, claiming that over 7,000 Christians have been killed in Nigeria in 2025 alone, an average of 35 murders per day.
He further referenced reports that at least 19,100 churches have been attacked or destroyed since 2009, while more than 15 million Nigerians have been displaced due to extremist violence.
"The sheer number of Christians who suffer persecution daily for their faith, including the staggering number who have been murdered for proclaiming Jesus Christ as their savior, is horrific. More than 7,000 Christians have been killed in Nigeria in 2025 already, an average of 35 murders per day,” he said.
"That includes at least 50 Christians brutally martyred on Palm Sunday and another 200 killed in June. This is consistent with reports from Open Doors indicating that more Christians are killed every year in Nigeria than in the rest of the world combined. These relentless persecutions have continued for years and show no signs of abating."
Moore, who has been vocal on international human rights issues, alleged that the Nigerian government has done little to protect its Christian population and may even be complicit in the attacks.
He accused regional governments in northern Nigeria of supporting extremist ideologies and enforcing anti-Christian policies, including the closure of Christian orphanages and the reeducation of Christian children in Islamic schools.
He wrote, "Since 2015, at least 250 Catholic clergy have been attacked, in addition to another 350 clergy from other denominations. On Ash Wednesday this year, a priest in north-central Nigeria was kidnapped and brutally murdered. Between the Boko Haram uprising in July 2009 and September 2025, 19,100 Christian churches in Nigeria have been attacked or destroyed, representing an average of 1,200 churches per year, 100 per month, or more than three per day.
"In addition, at least 850 Christians are currently being held for ransom in jihadist camps under extreme conditions. These individuals are tortured or killed if ransom isn’t paid. Reports estimate that at least 15 million people have been displaced by the rampant acts of violence and terror in Nigeria. Simply put, this must end.
"Muslim extremist groups such as ISIS-West Africa, Ansaru, and Boko Haram are major perpetrators. Just last week, Boko Haram ravaged Kirawa, Nigeria, displacing thousands. But just as concerning are reports that corrupt cells of the Nigerian government may be complicit, and even directly involved, in some of these attacks.
"In northern states such as Kano, regional governments have backed and facilitated the closing of Christian orphanages and forced the children to be reeducated as Muslims. The Nigerian federal government also maintains and enforces anti-blasphemy laws, and several states within Nigeria have even harsher versions than the federal government. This includes sentencing an individual to 24 years in prison for ‘insulting the Prophet Mohammed.’"
Moore’s letter also linked the violence to well-known jihadist organizations such as Boko Haram, ISIS-West Africa, and Ansaru, which he described as “major perpetrators” of religious killings and kidnappings. He claimed that at least 850 Christians are currently being held for ransom in jihadist camps, where many are tortured or killed if payment is not made.
“Just last week, Boko Haram ravaged Kirawa, Nigeria, displacing thousands,” the letter noted. “But just as concerning are reports that corrupt cells of the Nigerian government may be complicit, and even directly involved, in some of these attacks.”
The Congressman faulted the Nigerian government’s repeated attempts to frame the crisis as a generalized “terrorism problem” rather than targeted religious persecution.
“While Nigerians of all faiths face terrorism, Christians are far and away the most targeted for persecution and violence,” he said. “Additionally, this violence stems almost exclusively from Muslim groups and is explicitly anti-Christian.”
Moore also drew attention to previous U.S. policy actions, noting that former President Donald Trump had designated Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern in 2020, a move reversed by President Joe Biden upon taking office.
He reminded Rubio that, as a U.S. Senator, he had previously urged the Biden administration to restore Nigeria’s CPC designation, citing recommendations from the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF).
"President Trump designated Nigeria as a CPC during his first administration. President Biden decided to undo the designation when he took office. As Senator, you sent a letter with several of your colleagues to then-Secretary Blinken urging him to redesignate Nigeria as a CPC,” he said.
"In that letter, you wrote, in accordance with the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom's recommendation, ‘it is incumbent upon you to reverse last year's decision and redesignate the country as a CPC. The moment demands that you do so without delay.’"
Moore demanded immediate action from the State Department, calling for a full arms embargo on Nigeria until the government “demonstrates it is sufficiently committed to ending this reign of persecution and slaughter.”
"I agree with your assessment that the moment demands that the administration take strong action without delay, and the situation has only grown more dire. As such, I urge you to redesignate Nigeria as a CPC without delay and withhold arms sales and all associated technical support until the Nigerian government has taken tangible steps to protect our brothers and sisters in Christ. Thank you for your attention to this request
Adexvivacity: You should wonder why he had to attach Islam to it.... That's the new plan: They trained and use some Muslims then discarded them and tagged them terrorists, now they are attaching gay to the religion. We all know gay and Islam are 2 parallel lines. It is either he is a gay or a Muslim.
Sexuality has nothing to do with religion..
Christians., atheists and Muslims have gay members..

A member of the House of Commons - Regina--Qu'Appelle in Canada, Andrew Scheer, has accused the international community of deliberately ignoring what he described as the “systematic persecution” of Christians in Nigeria.
Speaking on the floor of Canada’s House of Commons, Scheer said terrorist group Boko Haram and allied militias were carrying out a genocidal campaign that has left thousands dead and millions displaced while the world looks away.
“The world has largely ignored the persecution of Christians in Nigeria: 7,000 killed, 3.5 million displaced, and three churches destroyed every day. It’s time to break the silence, raise awareness, and support those enduring unimaginable suffering.
“The Honourable Member for Regina–Capel. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to bring attention to the tragedy Christians in Nigeria are experiencing. The deadly terrorist organization Boko Haram is trying to eliminate the Christian faith from Nigeria,” Scheer, a former Leader of Canada’s Conservative Party, said in a video posted on his X account on Friday.
He recalled Boko Haram’s brutal atrocities, including the abduction of schoolgirls and the burning alive of civilians, stressing that worshippers in Nigeria now gather in secrecy or in burnt-out church buildings.
According to him, international media and political leaders have largely refused to cover the violence, leaving the victims without sustained global attention.
“This is the same terrorist group that kidnapped dozens of young schoolgirls and burned innocent civilians alive in cages. According to reports, over 3.5 million people have been forced to flee their homes. Three churches are destroyed every single day,” he said.
“7,000 Christians were massacred this year alone, and the faithful must now meet in secret or in burnt-out sanctuaries. Sadly, the world is turning a blind eye to the plight of Christians in Nigeria. There are no embedded journalists covering the violence.
“There are no daily updates. Politicians around the world are not asked questions about how they will respond. We cannot ignore this violence and tragic loss of life.”
He urged governments, faith communities, and humanitarian groups to step in with relief efforts and solidarity for those suffering displacement and loss.
“We must speak out and shine a light on what’s happening so that people can donate to relief efforts and provide support to those displaced by violence. To my brothers and sisters in Christ, we know you know the power of prayer. We will not forget you. Stay strong. Keep the faith,” he stated.
American comedian and television host Bill Maher recently blasted Western media for ignoring what he described as the ongoing genocide against Christians in Nigeria.
Speaking on his HBO show Real Time with Bill Maher on Friday, September 26, Maher accused news outlets and political elites of deliberately staying silent while Boko Haram, Islamic State in West Africa Province (ISWAP), and Fulani militias slaughter Christians and raze churches across Nigeria.
“Nigeria, the fact that this issue has not gotten on people’s radar, it’s pretty amazing,” Maher said. “If you don’t know what’s going on in Nigeria, your media sources suck. You are in a bubble.”
The comedian, who is an outspoken critic of religion but often uses his platform to highlight uncomfortable truths, compared the violence to a full-scale genocide.
“I’m not a Christian, but they are systematically killing the Christians in Nigeria. They’ve killed over a hundred thousand since 2009. They’ve burned 18,000 churches. These are the Islamists, Boko Haram. This is so much more of a genocide attempt than what is going on in Gaza. They are literally attempting to wipe out the Christian population of an entire country,” he said.
During the show, U.S. Congresswoman Nancy Mace (Republican, South Carolina) thanked Maher for raising the alarm, stressing that the media had failed to cover the crisis with the urgency it deserves.
Maher further questioned the absence of public outrage in America. “Where are the kids protesting this?” he asked, criticizing Western activists for ignoring mass killings and displacement in Africa while focusing on other global causes.
On Sunday, the Nigerian Government dismissed reports suggesting that terrorists in Nigeria were carrying out a systematic genocide against Christians, describing such claims as “false, baseless, despicable, and divisive.”
In a press statement issued on Sunday, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, described portraying Nigeria’s security challenges as a targeted campaign against a single religious group as “a gross misrepresentation of reality.”
The minister stressed that terrorist groups target people of all faiths.
“The violent activities of terrorist groups are not confined to any particular religious or ethnic community. These criminals target all who reject their murderous ideology, regardless of faith. Muslims, Christians, and even those who do not identify with any religion have suffered at their hands,” he said.
Ezeama400: This comes after American comedian Bill Maher drew attention to the rising number of Christians killed by extremist groups such as Boko Haram and ISIS-West Africa. The United States has expressed “deep concern” over persistent violence against Christians and other vulnerable groups in Nigeria, warning that the government in Abuja must take stronger action to protect its citizens from terrorist attacks.
This comes after American comedian Bill Maher drew attention to the rising number of Christians killed by extremist groups such as Boko Haram and ISIS-West Africa.
In a statement to Newsweek, the US State Department confirmed it has repeatedly raised the issue with the Nigerian government at the highest levels.
“The United States remains deeply concerned about the levels of violence against Christians and members of other groups in Nigeria, including the threats posed by terrorist groups like Boko Haram and ISIS-West Africa in northern Nigeria. We have raised these issues with the Nigerian government at the highest levels,” the statement said.
The Department stressed that Nigeria must act more decisively to halt repeated attacks on religious communities, insisting that its laws must align with commitments to religious freedom.
The Trump administration’s renewed warning comes amid growing calls in Congress for Nigeria to be designated a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) under the International Religious Freedom Act. Such a designation is reserved for states accused of tolerating or engaging in severe violations of religious freedom.
International advocacy group Open Doors ranks Nigeria as the seventh most dangerous place in the world for Christians, noting that “more Christians are killed for their faith in Nigeria than in the rest of the world combined.”
The Nigerian Government has dismissed reports suggesting that terrorists in Nigeria are carrying out a systematic genocide against Christians, describing such claims as “false, baseless, despicable, and divisive.”
In a press statement issued on Sunday, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, said portraying Nigeria’s security challenges as a targeted campaign against a single religious group is “a gross misrepresentation of reality.”
“While Nigeria, like many countries, has faced security challenges, including acts of terrorism perpetrated by criminals, couching the situation as a deliberate, systematic attack on Christians is inaccurate and harmful. It oversimplifies a complex, multifaceted security environment and plays into the hands of terrorists and criminals who seek to divide Nigerians along religious or ethnic lines,” the statement read.
The minister stressed that terrorist groups target people of all faiths.
“The violent activities of terrorist groups are not confined to any particular religious or ethnic community. These criminals target all who reject their murderous ideology, regardless of faith. Muslims, Christians, and even those who do not identify with any religion have suffered at their hands,” he said.
According to the government, security forces have made significant gains against terrorists.
“Between May 2023 and February 2025 alone, over 13,543 terrorists and criminals were neutralized and nearly 10,000 hostages rescued in multiple military operations across the country,” the statement noted.
Idris highlighted the recent capture of top leaders of Jama’atu Ansarul Muslimina fi-Biladis Sudan (ANSARU), Nigeria’s Al-Qaeda affiliate, naming Mahmud Muhammad Usman (aka Abu Bara’a/Abbas/Mukhtar), the group’s self-styled Emir, and Mahmud al-Nigeri (aka Mallam Mamuda), his deputy, among those arrested.
“These feats underscore the determination and success of our security forces and expose as unfounded the notion that Nigeria is passively tolerating religiously motivated terrorism,” Idris said.
The statement also emphasized that Nigeria is a multi-religious country where both Islam and Christianity thrive.
“Christianity is neither endangered nor marginalized in Nigeria. It is doubtful that foreign interlopers into Nigerian affairs are aware that the current heads of both the Armed Forces and the Police Force are Christians—a fact that underscores the inclusivity of our national leadership,” it said.
papagiddy: I remember...Trump once asked Buhari why Christians wer been killed in Nigeria ....Bubu got no cogent response that day..... Mass killer of Christians is Southern Kaduna are still working around free.. Even killer like Elrufai still want to get power again to continue from where he stopped....hummmm!! Dangerous time to be a Christian in Nigeria!!!
Let some misguided Christians continue voting for the party they know that will never protect their interest..
The worst is yet to come if they don’t change their ways and voting pattern..
It’s not all about politics, it’s just a common sense.. Those that died never knew they would be victims some day
mascot87: I just pray the terrorists would not put our innocent president into problem with Trump. PBAT needs to act now, urgently and decisively. Trump will not think twice before he does something stupid
