The man said Genocide but una don turn am to persecution.

Is it that you guys cannot stick to the issue itself?

Bashir should go and get education.

Christian persecution is different from Christian genocide.

Why are people deliberately becoming du.mp this days

Bishop Kukah agreed that there was persecution but he did not believe that there was genocide. That was Kukah's opinion and there is no confusion about it.

He further challenged the narrative of Christian persecution in the country: “If you are a Christian in Nigeria and you say you are persecuted, my question is: how? At least 80% of educated Nigerians are Christians, and up to 85% of the Nigerian economy is controlled by Christians. With such figures, how can anyone say Christians are being persecuted?”

He said this during his virtual presentation to the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission in Washington, DC, on the persecution of Christians in Nigeria by armed extremist groups in the North.

Catholic Bishop of Sokoto, Most Revd Matthew Kukah, on Wednesday, said the Federal Government has failed to handle the issue of security which it promised to do before taking over power.

He said this during his virtual presentation to the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission in Washington, DC, on the persecution of Christians in Nigeria by armed extremist groups in the North.

Kukah said the people are yet to see any tangible move towards tackling Nigeria’s insecurity which, according to him, has a religious undertone.


He stated that the people were agitated, adding that there was palpable fear and tension across the country.

The clergy, in his testimony before the US Congress Commission, claimed religious violence against Christians in Nigeria was a recurring experience of many years, but the spate of the attacks has risen steadily in the last 10 years.




According to Bishop Kukah, the extremists target mainly Christian schools in the North, “indoctrinate the children and end up converting the girls to wives, cooks, spies, sexual slaves and so on.

“The story of Leah Sharibu suggests very clearly that there is, in many instances, a relationship between the conditions in which people find themselves and the faith they believe in.”

According to Bishop Kukah, “Last year, 2020, some of our Priests in the North were killed. The extremists kidnapped our children and forcefully converted them to Muslims.


“We have issued statements and called the attention of the government to our plight. We have also reached out to let the government know that we are willing to cooperate towards the greatness of our country.”

The Bishop, who is the Secretary of the National Peace Committee, accused President Muhammadu Buhari of deliberately appointing more people of his ethnicity and faith into political offices.



He said, “The North, even the whole country is invaded by armed bandits, kidnappers, etc who attack communities at will. The fact that the government seems to be either helpless or uninterested in dealing decisively with these people has added more confusion.

“And the contradiction here is that the President has blatantly pursued nepotistic and policies that show very clearly his preferences for men and women of his faith.”

The Bishop of Sokoto Diocese also said “for the first time in Nigeria the people heading three arms of government; the President, Senate President Speaker, and Chief Justice are all Muslims. These are all fine gentlemen, but that is not the point. The level of between Christians and Muslims has been exacerbated. This kind of situation has never happened before.


“What is significant here is that we are in a democracy; with weak structures, and institutions. These are existential issues. So, we require practical assistance that can help us and our children.”

Bishop Kukah insists there is no persecution of Christians in Nigeria, arguing that genocide is determined by intent, not numbers. He questioned sources claiming widespread church burnings and cited Christian dominance in education and the economy.

Our God is indeed great. When He decides to vindicate you, He does it in the most powerful way. He can use the very same people who spent years lying against you to come out and admit that what they have been saying is not true.

During President Buhari's time, there was hardly any place Bishop didn’t visit to draw the world’s attention with claims that Christians were being persecuted in Nigeria. Today, the same man is going around explaining to the world that Christians are not being persecuted in Nigeria.

I genuinely agree with Bishop Kukah that there is no Christian genocide in Nigeria. That is exactly what we kept telling him years ago, when he was busy travelling across the U.S. and the Western world, presenting Nigeria as a country persecuting Christians during President Buhari’s time. Unfortunately, those same reports he gave then are now being used against us today.

It is good that the Bishop now understands the situation better, that what he thought it was then is not what it actually is.

Press Release: Ogun State to Prosecute DJ Chicken

The Ogun State Ministry of Justice hereby informs the public that it is expediting action on the prosecution of Ademola Abiodun, aka DJ Chicken, in relation to the vehicular incident of 1 November 2025.

On 1 November 2025, Mr Abiodun crashed into two motorcycles in Sagamu, Ogun State, seriously injuring a rider and a lady passenger.

Mr Abiodun was unremorseful and attempted to leave the scene of the incident, which provoked an angry reaction from passersby who mobbed him. At the time, the Ogun State Police Command began investigation and review of the circumstances, mindful to prioritise the medical care, privacy, and recovery of the victims.

Yesterday, 23 November 2025, in Lekki, Lagos State, Mr Abiodun was again involved in another road crash. This lone car incident almost harmed pedestrians, but for good fortune and the pedestrians' quick reflexes.

Yesterday's incident is reportedly the third road crash in two months involving Mr Abiodun at the wheel.

While it may be reasonable to allow crash victims get compensation from persons who have driven recklessly and to resolve road traffic collisions as a civil wrong, some road users are special dangers to society and should be held to account under criminal law.

Mr Abiodun is one such person. At least two of the crashes were documented in real time video coverage and are self-evident. Mr Abiodun's heedless return to the wheel with no greater care just three weeks after makes it imperative that the State must intervene to protect the public – especially as there is an organic outcry against his continued driving.

Accordingly, the Attorney-General and Honourable Commissioner for Justice – Oluwasina Ogungbade, SAN – has directed relevant officers to expedite action on the pending crash case from Sagamu for prompt arraignment. The Office of the Attorney-General is working closely with the Police to achieve this outcome.
