“Pope Leo XIV Names Nigeria Among Countries Where Christians Face Persecution”

Pope Leo XIV has listed Nigeria among countries where Christians reportedly face growing persecution, grouping the nation alongside Bangladesh, Mozambique, Sudan and others experiencing similar challenges.

The Catholic pontiff made the remark on Sunday, November 16, via his official X account, expressing deep concern over continuous attacks targeting Christian communities, churches and places of worship in various parts of the world. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

According to him, the rising wave of violence demands urgent global attention and intercessory prayers. He appealed to the international community to stand in solidarity with victims of religious hostility, while calling for peace and unity among all believers.

“I think especially of Bangladesh, Nigeria, Mozambique, Sudan, and other countries from which we frequently hear of attacks on communities and places of worship. God is a merciful Father who desires peace among all His children!” he wrote.

Pope Leo XIV also extended prayers to families in the Kivu region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where recent massacres resulted in significant civilian casualties. He emphasized the need for compassion, humanitarian aid and sustained intervention to protect vulnerable religious groups.

His comments follow earlier concerns expressed by former U.S. President Donald Trump, who recently re-designated Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” (CPC) over alleged religious persecution. The CPC designation is typically assigned to nations accused of severe violations of religious freedom.

However, the Nigerian federal government has repeatedly dismissed such classifications, insisting that Nigeria remains a secular state committed to the safety of all religious groups. Authorities maintain that there is no state-sponsored persecution or targeted attacks against any particular faith.

Pope Leo’s remarks have triggered fresh conversations on global religious freedom, with many urging governments and international bodies to intensify efforts aimed at protecting worshippers and preserving fundamental human rights.

Sports › Re: Happy South Africans Mock Nigeria Over Failure To Qualify For WC by MrSly(m): 7:44pm On Nov 17, 2025

DiamondsAreFore:
The controversial South African Sports Minister, Gayton Mackenzie who was a former gang member and organised criminal when he was a young man, has taken to his X account to mock Nigerians for failing to qualify for the WC and other South Africans have joined him.

The minister commented on last night's game:

They were busy digging a grave for @BafanaBafana instead of preparing adequately 🕺🏽🙏

Mr Mackenzie had earlier caused controversy when he said that he did not want Nigeria to qualify for next year's World Cup because of the role that Nigeria had played in the deduction of 3 points from South Africa in the group stages for fielding an ineligible player in their game against Lesotho in March this year.

I like the fact you have started identifying obidients for whom they truly are; Nigerians with with dis thirst for bad and evil politics and politicians. That is why obedients are those against Wikes chalatancy and the same group is against killing of nigerian Christians, they are alsonagaist tinubus borrow money to syphone method of governance. They are against anything bad governance.

No wonder at all that these Nigerians see PO as the only Nigerians pokiticians that can deliver their hopes to them. And this is their offence to you pay per post jobbers. The joke is really on you.

Wike the minister with crude manners has met a refined soldier who is so disciplined that he does not tolerate vulgarity. Yerima has so put the I'll mannered minister in his place.

I am not a soldier but if wike had succeeded in intimidating that soldier it would have sent a very bad precedence that would have a negative effect on more on the civilians. If a roggue is able to intimidate a general then who are we, the civilians. Thanks to Yerima.

Just like any other drug user, tinubu who is most likely a drug user (having forfeited a reasonable sum in drug related case. As drug dealers associate he is likely also a user too) is spontaneous in decision without deep thoughts. This is the main reason for the back and forth policies.

Nigeria has been reduced to ridicles because men with the least character are their leaders. An old minister was behaving like a tout before a young soldier, hound enough to be his son. Thank God for the training this soldier had obtained. If the soldier was as ill-mannered and untrained as the minister, heads would have rolled that day.

If you have something to offer, there is something for you in this economy. If you have nothing to offer, go and upskill yourself and offer a service. Money dey to pay you.

Just as you speak for yourself alone. Yinubus reforms have exerbated the already dwindling economy thereby putting the masses into abject poverty. Here you want me to believe that over 130,000,000 Nigerians who are in extreme poverty have nothing to offer. Look at somebody's acumen. Go to other countries with working system you would observe that no one is left to die of hunger. Economic policies protects everybody.

Politics › Re: It’s Not Unpatriotic To Tell The Truth, Peter Obi Tells Critics by MrSly(m): 8:07pm On Nov 14, 2025

Almunjid:
Peter Obi lacks patriotism. As a former state governor, he contributed to Nigeria's stagnation. He awaits foreigners' criticism to validate his own leadership failures. This remark is his political low point. His state (Anambra) fared no better under his rule. Obi should feel ashamed. True patriots don't use foreign insults against their nation. Unlike Peter Obi, leaders like Obasanjo (Baba Iyabo) exemplify true patriotism, defending Nigeria's honor, he even banned songs such as "Jagajaga" etc that undermine the nation. Most of Nigerian politicians, including Obi, criticize but offer no solutions. I'd prefer an empty Aso Rock (presidency) over his leadership.

Peace!

Tinubu is very patriotic. grin

TimeManager:
During the media parley, Wike said when Obasanjo got the memo, he put a call through to him to resolve his land issue in the FCT, ditto General TY Danjuma. These are former President, former Chief of Army Staff and former minister of defense respectively, yet they went through the appropriate channel without resorting to abusing their military privileges not resorting to physically assaulting officials of Government who are discharging their duties. Much less a retired chief of Naval staff who is less ranked feeling above the law. And even more unfortunate is the fact that some military chiefs giving the impression that being a uniformed man automatically places you above the law. That is the lingering mentality of colonialism which we must dismantle.

-Kiss the truth!

There is no truth in that to kiss. Wike goofed, big time goofing.

As much as I dislike Wike and his politics he is completely right this time around

But this is a fight he likely won't win, because his boss clearly lacks the balls to support him. Beyond the obvious face-off with the corrupt Nigerian military establishment, the issue is already turning into a north-versus-south conflict and the northerners have never really been comfortable with a man from the Niger Delta running Abuja, so there...

He is completely wrong. You can't dishonour yourself and expect honour. Go and watch the video. We are talking about an honourable minister of the federal Republic of Nigeria. He is very wrong both in approach and conduct. His course may be right but wike is not right. The process is wrong,

I could not finish this long epistle because it is not just unnecessarily long but also lack in valid points. It is an literary exercise without benefit to the reader and nigeria.

In simple terms, you accusation against EU about being careful is wrong. You can be right if you say you are disappointed that they spoke the simple truth. Yes nigerias severignty is to be respected. But sovereignty in hinged on ability to rule. Any govt that can't protect lives and property of his people has lacked sovereignty. Any other country that can do it can come in. Life is far more precious than sovereignty of any nation.

You are the only person the president saw today. Therefore, he is very welcoming and accessible. How else do we identify sycophancy if not by the nunmeritous praise hinged on politicians even when it is not demanded of them. It is no surprise that it is coming from a once rubber stamp Senate President.
