We won’t look away — US Congress reasserts stand against Christian persecution in Nigeria

The United States House Appropriations Committee has reaffirmed its commitment to tackling religious persecution worldwide — with a specific emphasis on Nigeria — declaring that America “will not look away as innocent lives are stolen.”

The committee stated this in a message posted on its official X account on Wednesday, stressing that religious freedom remains a key priority in its National Security and Related Programs (NSRP) bill.

“Directed by @POTUS, Appropriators led an on-the-ground mission to inform a report on Christian persecution in Nigeria and guide policy recommendations,” the committee wrote, adding that “religious freedom and atrocity response are central to our NSRP bill.”

The reaffirmation followed an on-the-ground mission to Nigeria by a delegation of US appropriators acting under President Donald Trump’s directive.

The visit formed part of efforts to assess the state of religious violence and shape future congressional action.

Nigeria’s National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, confirmed on Sunday that he hosted the US delegation during what he described as ongoing security consultations between both countries.

According to Ribadu, the discussions built on earlier meetings in Washington and focused on “counter-terrorism cooperation, regional stability,” and strengthening an already “strategic security partnership.”

Rep. Riley Moore, a member of the visiting delegation, described the trip as “a very productive visit to Nigeria” in a post on X.

While in the country, Moore also held meetings with Tiv and Catholic leaders in Benue State, one of the regions most affected by recurrent violence.

The congressional visit comes amid escalating diplomatic tensions following the Trump administration’s recent redesignation of Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern over alleged religious-freedom violations — a move that revived debate over possible consequences, including military intervention.

The Federal Government has repeatedly rejected the allegations, maintaining that insecurity affects Nigerians across all faiths.

On November 20, Ribadu met with US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth at the Pentagon to discuss coordinated strategies to address Nigeria’s security crisis.

That same day, the US House Subcommittee on Africa held a public hearing on the implications of the redesignation.

America is not here for Christians, America is here for America….that means money….it’s all they care about.


Those pushing a christian genocide agenda who think America is here to protect them will be disappointed. Similarly on the govt side those who are celebrating because Riley took pictures with Rimbaud will equally be disappointed.

America has an ambassador in Nigeria, their ambassador is not here to take pictures. This is the same America that was compiling intel reports on Aliko Dangote as far back as his early 20s when he was just a regular businessman. They have intelligence on Nigeria, they know more about Nigeria than we do.

Riley is not here on a fact finding mission. It’s just optics. They have already concluded that Christian genocide is the leverage they are going to use to muscle their way into Nigeria and that is going to be the conclusion of their report. Did you see Riley visit any mosques or Muslim hit areas? That tells you he is not interested in truth but the appearance of fact finding.

They will submit a report that there is Christian genocide and they will use it as leverage to muscle their way into favorable economic deals. If they do t get their way, they will fund the terrorists they have been funding and use it to create more mayhem in order to reinforce their narrative.

America doesn’t care about Christian killings. Nigerian Christians are not white christians, If more Christian’s have to die to give America more leverage they will facilitate more Christian deaths. That’s how America rolls.
