EPAPER METRO SPORT LIFE TECH GTV OPINION WOMAN REVIEWED ‘U.S. plans options to protect Christians in Nigeria soon’ By : Tobi Awodipe Date: 22 January 2026 2:55am WAT Share : Riley M. Moore Rep Riley M. Moore • Insecurity, not religious war, hits all faiths, Presidency insists United States (U.S.) Congressman Riley Moore has disclosed that the White House will soon come up with options to protect Christians in Nigeria against persecution by Islamist extremists. However, the Presidency, yesterday, dismissed claims that Nigeria’s insecurity was driven by religious sentiment, insisting that violence across the country affects people of all faiths and should not be framed as a religious war. Moore, in a post on his X handle yesterday, said he would soon brief President Donald Trump on his observations from the fact-finding mission to Nigeria, which would enable the White House to proffer options for protecting Christians. The congressman, who was reacting to a testimony by Bishop Robert Barron to U.S. lawmakers on the alleged Christian genocide in Nigeria, said the U.S. was not taking the allegations lightly. “Thank you, Bishop Barron, for shedding light on how our brothers and sisters in Christ are being persecuted for their faith in Nigeria,” Moore wrote after the briefing. “Thanks for the shout-out. You are right; I will be briefing the White House on this topic very soon to give them options on how to protect Christians in Nigeria.

Hashim cautioned that narratives portraying Nigeria’s security challenges as genocide or faith-based conflict risk deepening divisions and undermining national cohesion at a critical time for the country. “What’s important now in this country is togetherness. We should put everything aside between Muslims, Christians and even people who don’t have a religion. We should not go with the stories going around, which all of us know are false,” he added. Responding to allegations of mass killings and abductions of Christian faithful, Hashim said realities on the ground show that insecurity cuts across religious lines, particularly in conflict-prone regions https://guardian.ng/news/u-s-plans-options-to-protect-christians-in-nigeria-soon/?fbclid=IwZnRzaAPe0gxleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZAo2NjI4NTY4Mzc5AAEemdew_ec4AmALd02OFfOZ4xLC62rJQA8vVfGvuuxqjaek3n6vRvqmwH8X8vE_aem_R_Dm84Are_y6XifcuvUz1g Nlfpmod Nlfpmod 3 Likes

When Nigeria divides, history should have it that core Notherners are the ones that divided Nigeria along religious lines when they adopted sharia law they use to torment poor Muslims and innocent Chrtistian minorities in 12 Nothern states , thereby creating their own separate country inside a country..

 Data boys of the fake certificate holder will blame the screw driver seller in Anambra. If they don't blame him, they will blame PO for reporting to the Americans. If they can blame PO, they will blame our neigbours from the East.

CyynthiaKiss:Islamist is not a form of the Muslim faith or an expression of Muslim piety; it is, rather, a political ideology that strives to derive legitimacy from Islam. ....Soner Cagaptay https://www.washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysis/muslims-vs-islamists Trump referred to the violence in Nigeria as genocide against Christians by radical Islamists, but this is a statement that does not hold up under examination. Boko Haram has attacked both Muslims and Christians indiscriminately, targeting places of worship for both faiths. In the northwest and central parts of the country, criminal gangs are responsible for assaults on villages and farming communities, primarily motivated by ransom rather than religious beliefs. Out of 1,923 attacks on civilians in Nigeria, only 50 were aimed at Christians specifically because of their faith. Trump took a complex and tragic security issue and presented it in a simplistic religious framework that the evidence does not support. Experts argue that from a legal standpoint, his genocide claims do not stand up. This rhetoric served to energize his evangelical supporters and provided a rationale for possible intervention. In doing so, he engaged in the same behavior he often criticized in others: using religious language to further a political agenda while overlooking the real suffering of both Muslim and Christian Nigerians caught in the turmoil. Sources: Council on Foreign Relations: https://www.cfr.org/expert-brief/trumps-focus-christians-misses-boko-harams-wider-threat-nigeria PBS: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/trump-says-christians-are-being-persecuted-in-nigeria-experts-and-residents-say-the-reality-is-more-complicated ACLED (Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project): https://acleddata.com NPR: https://www.npr.org/2025/12/28/nx-s1-5659769/do-trumps-claims-about-christian-persecution-in-nigeria-match-reality It further appears conveniently ironic that since his statement there are more attacks seeming to fit his narrative. In human relations absolutely nothing is given completely free. May the cost not away the support! |

Northern jihadists terrorists doing their genocidal conquest freely while the govt of the day is attempting damage control by denying and counter denying. The solemn truth is that the Northern and Southern Nigeria are ideologically and religiously incompatible. So the only solution now is total seperation |
