Asari Dokubo Warns Trump Against Military Action, Says Nigeria Will Be America’s Graveyard

Wale busari03 mins

Former Niger Delta warlord Asari Dokubo has warned President Donald Trump against launching any military action on Nigeria, vowing that such an invasion would end disastrously for the United States. In a viral Facebook video, the former leader of the Niger Delta People’s Volunteer Force (NDPVF) reacted to Trump’s recent threat of a possible military intervention over alleged Christian persecution in Nigeria. Asari declared that Nigeria would become the graveyard of American troops if they dared to invade. “Let Trump come with his America, they will all die,” he said. “This lunatic wants to annex Canada, he wants Iceland, wants to kill the president of Venezuela, wants to kill the Supreme leader of Iran. America is a sick country that elects mad people.” He accused the U.S. of hypocrisy, saying Washington often overlooks real humanitarian crises in places like Congo, Gaza, and Sudan while exaggerating issues in other regions. According to him, “South Africa is committing genocide against Whites, but he can’t see the genocide in Congo, in Gaza, in Sudan. Yet, he claims Nigeria is killing Christians. If you come to Nigeria, you all will die here. Nigeria will be your graveyard.” Asari also dismissed the religious framing of Nigeria’s violence, saying the killings in the country are not driven by faith. “Everybody knows people are being killed left, right, and centre. But is it Muslim or Christian? I’m a Muslim who was made by non-Muslims,” he stated. He further reminded the U.S. of its military failures abroad, citing Vietnam as an example. “Did America not go to Vietnam? Didn’t they run? Where have they gone to and stayed?” he asked. Asari’s fiery message comes amid heightened global attention following Trump’s remarks about alleged Christian genocide in Nigeria.

Christian Genocide: Kumuyi Distance Self from Fake News

Wale busari02 mins

The Deeper Christian Life Ministry has condemned in the strongest terms the malicious and entirely false news report circulated by a faceless platform which goes by the name of “Ibomfocus” The story with the headline: “America is Trying to Steal our Natural Resources; There is No Christian Genocide in Nigeria, says Pastor Kumuyi” is a total fabrication and the figment of the imagination of its authors. Pastor Kumuyi, according to statement issued on Monday, did not at any time address a press conference or make the aforementioned statement in Lagos. He has been away from Nigeria for a considerable length of time, holding programmes in the Oceania region and the Far East. Besides, Pastor Kumuyi is well known for focusing entirely on preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. He does not dabble into politics, as the false story mentioned above seemed to suggest. The Ministry warned all those bent on mischief by seeking to drag our General Superintendent into politics, or fabricating stories in his name, to desist from such venture. In the future, any such activity may attract action.

Donald Trump Threatens War Against Nigeria Over Alleged Christian Killings

Wale busari04 mins

President Donald Trump has issued a strong warning to Nigeria, threatening to unleash military action if the alleged killings of Christians in the country persist. Just a day after labeling Nigeria a “Country of Particular Concern,” Trump took to his Truth Social platform with a fierce message: “If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the U.S.A. will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, and may very well go into that now disgraced country, ‘guns-a-blazing,’ to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities. I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians! WARNING: THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT BETTER MOVE FAST!” Trump’s remarks came after his earlier statement accusing the Nigerian government of turning a blind eye to what he described as the “mass slaughter of Christians” by radical Islamic groups. He said Christianity in Nigeria faces an “existential threat,” adding that the killings have continued unchecked for years. In response, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration rejected Trump’s comments, describing them as “misleading and uninformed.” Tinubu reiterated that Nigeria is a secular state that respects freedom of religion and that ongoing violence in the country stems from terrorism, ethnic clashes, and banditry—not religious persecution. The warning from Trump has sparked widespread reactions across global political circles, with many analysts expressing concern that such rhetoric could heighten diplomatic tensions between Washington and Abuja. Experts also caution that the security crisis in Nigeria is complex and cannot be reduced to a simple Christian-versus-Muslim narrative. Under the U.S. International Religious Freedom Act, Nigeria’s designation as a “Country of Particular Concern” could already trigger sanctions or limits on aid. But Trump’s latest statement goes further—signaling potential U.S. military involvement if what he calls “Christian genocide” continues. The development has drawn mixed reactions globally, with Christian advocacy groups praising Trump’s firmness, while others warn that military threats could destabilize relations and worsen Nigeria’s fragile security situation.

Nigeria Dismisses Trump’s Allegations of Christian Persecution, Reaffirms Religious Harmony

Wale busari02 mins

The Nigerian Government has rejected former U.S. President Donald Trump’s claims that Christians are facing an “existential threat” in the country, following his decision to redesignate Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC). Trump made the announcement on Friday, citing alleged mass killings of Christians by radical Islamists and calling on U.S. lawmakers to investigate. “Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria. Thousands of Christians are being killed… I am hereby making Nigeria a ‘COUNTRY OF PARTICULAR CONCERN,’” he stated, urging Congressman Riley Moore and the House Appropriations Committee to look into the matter. In response on Saturday, Nigeria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, through spokesperson Kimiebi Imomotimi Ebienfa, said the claims do not reflect the reality on the ground. “Nigeria notes the recent remarks by U.S. President Donald J. Trump alleging large-scale killings of Christians and calling for the country’s designation as a ‘Country of Particular Concern,’” the ministry said. The statement emphasized that Nigerians of all faiths have coexisted peacefully for decades. It also reaffirmed the government’s commitment under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to combating terrorism, promoting interfaith harmony, and safeguarding the rights and lives of all citizens. Nigeria further pledged to maintain constructive dialogue with the United States to enhance mutual understanding of the country’s ongoing peace and security efforts.

Trump Labels Nigeria A Country Of Particular Concern Over Alleged Christian Genocide

Wale busari02 mins

President Donald Trump has announced that Nigeria has been designated a “Country of Particular Concern,” citing what he described as an “existential threat” to Christianity in the nation. In a post shared on Truth Social on Friday, Trump accused radical Islamist groups of carrying out widespread killings of Christians across Nigeria, calling the situation a “mass slaughter” that the international community must no longer ignore. He noted that thousands of Christians have been murdered this year alone and urged U.S. lawmakers to take immediate action to address the crisis. “Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria. Thousands of Christians are being killed. Radical Islamists are responsible for this mass slaughter. I am hereby making Nigeria a ‘Country of Particular Concern’—but that is the least of it,” Trump stated. The president called on Congressman Riley Moore, House Appropriations Committee Chairman Tom Cole, and others to investigate and provide a detailed report on the matter. “When Christians, or any such group, are slaughtered as is happening in Nigeria, something must be done. The United States cannot stand by while such atrocities continue. We are ready and willing to defend our great Christian population around the world,” he added. Trump’s declaration marks one of his most forceful responses to reports of religious persecution in Africa and is expected to renew debate over U.S. engagement in Nigeria’s deepening security and humanitarian crisis.

Sultan of Sokoto Says No Genocide in Nigeria, Warns Against Social Media Misinformation

Wale busari02 mins

The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, has affirmed that Nigeria has not experienced genocide against any religious or ethnic group. He made the remarks on Tuesday in Birnin Kebbi during the Northern Traditional Rulers Assembly Meeting, Kebbi 2025. “There is no way someone, whether a Muslim or a Christian, can be killed without the knowledge of the traditional rulers in that community,” the Sultan stated. He further challenged anyone, inside or outside the country, to provide evidence of genocide in Nigeria, asking, “Where, who, and how did it happen?” Sultan Sa’ad also cautioned the public about believing everything shared on social media, noting that much of the information circulating online is false or misleading. “People must verify such information before accepting it as fact,” he stressed. He called on the Federal Government to take urgent steps to regulate social media usage in the country to prevent the spread of misinformation. Regarding the assembly, the Sultan explained that the meeting aims to promote collaboration among communities and develop strategies to address insecurity in Northern Nigeria.

House of Reps Rejects US Senate Claim Of Christian Genocide In Nigeria

Wale busari04 mins

The Nigerian House of Representatives has dismissed claims by the US Senate framing the country’s security challenges as a “genocide against Christians” or evidence of state-sponsored persecution. The response comes after US lawmaker Riley Moore called on Secretary of State Marco Rubio to act against what he described as the “systematic persecution and slaughter of Christians” in Nigeria, calling it the deadliest country in the world for the faith. Moore also urged that Nigeria be redesignated as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) and that arms sales be suspended until the government demonstrates a “tangible commitment” to ending the violence. In a motion presented by Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu, the House directed relevant committees to collaborate with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Nigerian Embassy in Washington D.C., and security agencies to file a formal diplomatic protest against the sponsors of the US resolution within 21 days. The motion, titled “Need for a Coordinated Diplomatic and Domestic Response to the Proposed Nigerian Religious Freedom Accountability Act of 2025 (U.S. Senate Bill 2747),” received unanimous support. Speaking on National Assembly TV, Kalu said the measure was necessary to counter “the mischaracterisation of Nigeria’s security and religious freedom landscape.” “The House outrightly rejects narratives that frame Nigeria’s security crisis as a purely religious conflict or a state-sponsored persecution,” he said. “Our Constitution guarantees freedom of thought, conscience, and religion and bars the adoption of a state religion. Successive administrations, security agencies, and faith leaders have worked to protect all worshippers and prosecute offenders.” Kalu explained that US Senate Bill 2747, introduced on September 9, 2025, seeks to compel the US Secretary of State to designate Nigeria as a CPC and impose sanctions on Nigerian officials under the Global Magnitsky framework. He warned that such a move, based on “incomplete or decontextualised assessments,” could distort facts, strain diplomatic relations, and embolden violent actors. He further noted that Nigeria’s security crisis is complex and multi-dimensional, fueled by insurgency, banditry, farmer-herder clashes, separatist violence, and communal conflicts affecting citizens of all faiths. “International reporting attributes a significant portion of fatalities to terrorist groups and criminal gangs, not state policy or any single religious group,” Kalu said. The deputy speaker reaffirmed Nigeria’s commitment to human rights and religious freedom, emphasizing that violence against any person based on faith is condemned. “We commiserate with all victims, irrespective of religion,” he added. While underscoring Nigeria’s “longstanding partnership with the United States,” the House insisted that the country’s sovereignty must be respected in international discourse.

CAN Denies Christian Genocide Claims, Urges Nigerians To Address Insurgency Locally

CAN Denies Christian Genocide Claims, Urges Nigerians To Address Insurgency Locally

Wale busari03 mins

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has rejected claims of a “Christian genocide” in the country, calling such reports exaggerated and driven by foreign interests. The controversy emerged after US comedian Bill Maher alleged that Christians in Nigeria were being systematically killed, with Islamist groups reportedly burning churches and attempting to eliminate the Christian population. US Senator Ted Cruz also accused Nigerian authorities of “ignoring and even facilitating the mass murder of Christians by Islamist jihadists,” claiming that Christians were being targeted under sharia and blasphemy laws. Cruz subsequently introduced the Nigeria Religious Freedom Accountability Act in the US Senate to impose sanctions on officials deemed responsible. Congressman Riley Moore also urged US Secretary of State Marco Rubio to designate Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern and suspend arms sales until the government demonstrates protection for Christians. Speaking to Guardian Nigeria on Tuesday, CAN’s Director of National Issues and Social Welfare, Abimbola Ayuba, acknowledged the ongoing killings but rejected the idea that Christians are uniquely targeted. “Facts show that the killings do not follow any particular pattern,” Ayuba said. “In Christian-majority states like Benue, it may seem Christians are being targeted, but Muslims have also been attacked, including during early morning prayers in mosques. The violence involves kidnappings, attacks, and other atrocities that affect everyone.” Ayuba also criticized groups exploiting the situation for foreign attention. “Some actors use our challenges to serve their foreign interests. While outsiders have a right to inquire, we must present the facts accurately. The violence does not discriminate—it affects Christians, Muslims, and even children,” he said. He urged Nigerians to take collective action to address the insurgency locally rather than seeking sympathy abroad. “We need an all-of-society approach to end this insurgency. Why appeal to America when the Nigerian Senate provides avenues for petitions? Declaring Nigeria a country of particular concern will hurt all of us. Those seeking foreign sympathy know why they do it,” Ayuba concluded.
