Spyro Urges Nigerians To Speak Out Against Foreign Intervention, Warns Of Danger

Nigerian singer Spyro has urged celebrities, religious leaders, business owners, and content creators to use their platforms to speak out against foreign intervention in Nigeria, warning that reliance on outsiders could worsen the country’s situation. Taking to Instagram, Spyro described the moment as critical, saying that conflict affects everyone and would leave citizens struggling to survive, with no time for music, movies, worship, or business. “I know it looks like a savior is coming, but the Devil always disguises as an angel of light; his actual aim is to STEAL, KILL & DESTROY. What better time to use our platforms than now to demand that the government do the necessary to avoid this DANGER LOOMING,” he wrote. He emphasized that Nigerians must hold their government accountable rather than waiting for external intervention. “No one is coming to save US; they are only coming to KILL, STEAL AND DESTROY. Remember, war takes the people, and without the people, there is no platform or influence. Use the PLATFORM now while it counts,” Spyro added. The singer’s message calls on influential Nigerians to act decisively, urging them to pressure authorities to protect the nation and prevent escalation, rather than depending on foreign powers for solutions.

Christians Are Killing Christians In South-East, Soludo Says Trump’s Genocide Claims Misleading

Anambra State Governor, Charles Chukwuma Soludo, has dismissed U.S. President Donald Trump’s claims that Christians in Nigeria’s South-East are victims of a religious genocide, calling the allegations false and misleading. Speaking during a live interview on Channels Television, Soludo said the ongoing violence in the region is driven by political, social, and economic grievances, not religious persecution. “The situation is more complex than it appears from outside,” he said. “In eastern Nigeria, people are killing themselves—Christians killing Christians. The people in the bushes are Emmanuel, Peter, and John—Christian names—and they have maimed and killed thousands of our youths. It has nothing to do with religion.” The former Central Bank governor emphasized that the South-East is overwhelmingly Christian, with both the perpetrators and victims sharing the same faith. “In this part of the country, we are 95 percent Christians, and the people in the bushes killing others bear Christian names,” Soludo said. “It is bigger than just Christians and Muslims. Nigeria will overcome, and it will end through conversation.” He added that while the United States is free to express its views, any actions it takes must comply with international law.

Trump Warns Nigeria Again Over Christian Killings, Threatens To End U.S. Aid

Donald Trump has issued another warning to Nigeria over the persistent killings of Christians, threatening to halt all forms of aid and impose tough measures if the violence continues. Speaking from his podium in Washington, Trump declared: “If the Nigerian government continues to allow the killings of Christians, the USA will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria. We are going to do things to Nigeria that Nigeria is not going to be happy about.” The U.S. President’s statement marks his second public warning in less than a week, following earlier remarks accusing the Nigerian government of failing to protect its Christian population. His administration has since placed Nigeria on the list of “Countries of Particular Concern” for alleged violations of religious freedom, a move that could lead to sanctions or suspension of development support. Sources in Washington revealed that Trump has directed the Department of Defense to be on standby for “possible actions,” signaling that the warning may not be limited to diplomatic pressure. In response, Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar, dismissed the claims, saying, “State-backed religious persecution is impossible under Nigeria’s constitution.” He maintained that the violence often labeled as religious is, in most cases, rooted in ethnic rivalries, banditry, and terrorism. Trump’s renewed threat has drawn global attention, with international observers cautioning against rash decisions that could damage diplomatic ties between the two countries. However, others argue that the warning might compel the Nigerian government to intensify its efforts to address the ongoing insecurity and protect vulnerable communities. As tensions rise, both nations now face a critical moment that could redefine U.S.–Nigeria relations depending on how Abuja responds to Washington’s escalating stance.

Falana Accuses Trump Of Lying About ‘Christian Genocide’ In Nigeria

Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN), has accused U.S. President Donald Trump of fabricating claims about an alleged “Christian genocide” in Nigeria, describing him as a leader driven by hostility toward Africa. Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday, Falana dismissed Trump’s assertion that thousands of Christians were being systematically killed in Nigeria, calling it a baseless and misleading statement. “My position is that Mr. Trump has lied to the whole world by alleging Christian genocide in Nigeria without any evidence to back it up,” Falana said. He explained that the violence in Nigeria is not religiously motivated but rooted in criminality, insecurity, and economic struggles. “He said about 3,100 Christians have been killed in Nigeria. But when you look at the facts, those behind the killings — terrorists, bandits, kidnappers, or gunmen — do not care about religion. What they are after is ransom or control of territory. It’s not about religion,” he said. Falana highlighted that in states such as Benue and Plateau, most violent clashes are tied to land and grazing disputes. “Those who are killing there are either trying to take land or feed their animals,” he added. The senior lawyer urged the Federal Government not to be alarmed by Trump’s recent threat of military action against Nigeria but to focus on strengthening its internal security. “Instead of losing sleep over Trump’s statement, the government should look inward and identify its own failings,” he said. He further alleged that Trump’s comments form part of a broader geopolitical agenda targeting Africa’s natural resources and global alliances. “I know him, I know his antics, I know his hatred for Africa. This whole issue is about Nigeria’s resources. The same people pushing this agenda are also saying China must be cut down to size in Africa. We must understand the global politics behind it and the mistakes our own leaders have made,” Falana said. His remarks come amid rising diplomatic tension following Trump’s directive for U.S. forces to prepare for possible military intervention in Nigeria.

Who Am I To Reply Trump? Akpabio Says Senate Will Wait For Government Briefing On Genocide Claims

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has urged caution over U.S. President Donald Trump’s allegations of genocide against Christians in Nigeria, saying the Senate would not rush to respond until it receives an official briefing from the federal government. Speaking during Tuesday’s plenary, Akpabio disclosed that many Nigerians had been calling on him to personally react to Trump’s statement but maintained that only due process would guide the Senate’s response. “Nigerians want us to take a position. But we won’t take a position on that until we know what the government is doing about it,” Akpabio said. He added, “Who am I to reply Trump?” stressing that the Senate could only deliberate on issues that have been formally presented before it. Trump had recently declared Nigeria a “Country of Particular Concern,” accusing the government of allowing the killing of Christians. His statement was followed by a post from U.S. Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, who claimed his department was “preparing for action.” Akpabio emphasized that the claims did not reflect Nigeria’s reality, insisting that the country remains united despite its internal challenges. “All we need is peace,” he said, warning against individuals who take domestic issues abroad to paint a false picture of religious conflict. Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin, however, interjected, saying Nigeria must not be afraid to assert its sovereignty. “We’re not afraid. Don’t be scared. I am a Nigerian. I am a parliamentarian. Nigeria is a sovereign nation,” Barau said. Akpabio also warned against the dangers of fake news on social media and urged security agencies to closely monitor online platforms. “This is necessary so that their breaking news doesn’t break Nigeria,” he added. "I'm not scared of Trump. I can say my mind. I'm Nigerian, Nigeria is a sovereign nation. I am a parliamentarian, and he is saying lies about our country." – Deputy Senate President Sen Barau Jibrin. pic.twitter.com/7X50f1vMbu — Imran Muhammad (@Imranmuhdz) November 4, 2025

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

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

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.
