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.

Gumi Tells Tinubu To End Ties With US If Trump Fails To Withdraw War Threat

Wale busari03 mins

Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has urged President Bola Tinubu to sever diplomatic relations with the United States if President Donald Trump does not withdraw his threat to launch military action against Nigeria. Trump had on Friday redesignated Nigeria as a “country of particular concern” over alleged persecution of Christians. Hours later, he warned that “the USA 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 killing Christians.” His comments were followed by a statement from US Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, who revealed that his department was already preparing for possible military intervention if Nigeria failed to address what Washington described as “the killing of innocent Christians.” A group of right-wing American lawmakers, led by Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, has also continued to push the narrative of Christian persecution in Nigeria. In October, Cruz introduced the Nigeria Religious Freedom Accountability Act of 2025, a bill seeking sanctions against Nigerian officials accused of enabling attacks on Christians. Reacting on Sunday, Gumi described Trump’s remarks as a direct affront to Nigeria’s sovereignty and called on President Tinubu to issue a strong diplomatic response. “For Trump to threaten a sovereign country with military attack is a profound disrespect to our authority, but we can rise above it,” Gumi stated. He added, “President Tinubu should summon the US ambassador immediately. They must retract those threats, or we cut ties with this irresponsible regime. Nigeria has other options for economic cooperation and military partnership.”

Tinubu To Meet Trump To Address Alleged Christian Genocide In Nigeria

Wale busari04 mins

The Presidency has confirmed that President Bola Tinubu will meet with United States President Donald Trump in the coming days to discuss allegations of a Christian genocide in Nigeria. The announcement was made by Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser to the President on Policy Communication, in a post on X on Saturday. His statement followed Trump’s recent comments accusing the Nigerian government of failing to protect Christians from deadly attacks. According to Bwala, the planned meeting will focus on deepening counterterrorism cooperation and addressing misconceptions about the nature of terrorist violence in Nigeria. “Both President @officialABAT and President @realDonaldTrump have shared interests in the fight against insurgency and all forms of terrorism against humanity,” Bwala wrote. “President Trump has assisted Nigeria a lot by authorising the sale of arms, and President Tinubu has adequately utilised that opportunity in the fight against terrorism, with massive results to show for it. “As for the differences as to whether terrorists in Nigeria target only Christians or all faiths, those would be discussed and resolved by the two leaders when they meet in the coming days, either in the State House or the White House.” The development comes after Trump declared Nigeria a “country of particular concern,” claiming Christians in the country face an “existential threat.” In a post on Truth Social, he alleged that “radical Islamists” were responsible for “mass slaughter” and warned that the United States could cut off aid or take military action if the killings persist. “If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the USA 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,” Trump wrote. He added that he had instructed the Pentagon to prepare possible plans of attack. Trump’s comments followed similar accusations by US lawmaker Riley Moore, who urged Washington to redesignate Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” and suspend arms sales until the government demonstrates a “tangible commitment” to protecting Christians. The Nigerian government has repeatedly dismissed the genocide claims, insisting that terrorist attacks in the country affect citizens of all faiths and are not religiously motivated. Bwala stressed that both Tinubu and Trump are committed to strengthening global peace and security, saying the upcoming meeting will serve as an opportunity to clear misunderstandings and reinforce cooperation in the fight against terrorism.

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.

Nicki Minaj Applauds Donald Trump’s Statement Condemning Christian Persecution in Nigeria

Wale busari02 mins

Nicki Minaj has publicly expressed her support for Donald Trump following his condemnation of global Christian persecution, sharing her reaction in a heartfelt post on X. The rapper posted a screenshot of Trump’s statement from Truth Social and wrote: “Reading this made me feel a deep sense of gratitude. We live in a country where we can freely worship God. No group should ever be persecuted for practicing their religion. We don’t have to share the same beliefs to respect each other. Numerous countries around the world are facing this horror, and it’s dangerous to pretend we don’t notice. Thank you to The President and his team for taking this seriously. God bless every persecuted Christian. Let’s remember to lift them up in prayer.” In Trump’s message, he described Christianity as facing “an existential threat in Nigeria” and revealed plans to designate the country a “Country of Particular Concern” due to ongoing killings targeting Christians. Minaj’s post highlights her strong belief in religious freedom and gratitude toward the U.S. administration for acknowledging what she called a “global crisis” of faith-based persecution.

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.
