Peter Obi Urges Dialogue After US Threatens Military Action Over Christian Killings

Peter Obi has called for diplomatic solutions after the United States designated Nigeria a “Country of Particular Concern” (CPC) and hinted at possible military action over attacks on Christians. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the former presidential candidate said: “The recent pronouncement by the US government declaring Nigeria a ‘Country of Particular Concern’ (CPC) and indicating possible military action should give every well-meaning Nigerian serious concern. Nigeria is experiencing an unprecedented level of insecurity with shocking loss of lives and property. According to Amnesty International, over 10,000 people have been killed since May 2023. The unwarranted and unprovoked killing of Nigerians is most condemnable, and all efforts must be made to stop it.” Obi criticized the handling of the security crisis by the APC-led government, saying: “What is most unfortunate is the lack and absence of competence, commitment, prudent use of resources, patriotism, and passion on the part of APC-led leaders to effectively govern Nigeria where peace, truth, and justice reign.” He stressed that Nigeria and the US, as longstanding strategic partners, should focus on constructive engagement rather than conflict: “As democracies, Nigeria and the US have long been strategic partners committed to regional peace and security. Both countries must work together expeditiously to address the prevailing security concerns.” Obi’s remarks come after former US President Donald Trump warned of potential military intervention if the reported killings of Christians continue, highlighting the urgent need for effective governance and dialogue to address Nigeria’s security challenges.

Portable Fires Warning at U.S., Says Invasion of Nigeria Would End in Disaster

Portable has fired back at former U.S. President Donald Trump’s warnings of potential military action against Nigeria over attacks on Christians. During a TikTok live session with a Nigerian-born U.S. soldier, the Zazuu Zeh artist cautioned that any attempt to invade Nigeria would be disastrous. He said, “If U.S. soldiers invade Nigeria, they won’t return home. Those Boko Haram members you hear about? They are fathers, brothers, and husbands. Many joined because of hunger.” Portable also claimed that some insurgent groups receive backing from elites both in Nigeria and abroad, highlighting that the fight against terrorism is far more complex than outsiders realize. The video quickly went viral, sparking a mix of serious discussions and humorous reactions on social media. Reiterating his warning, he added, “If U.S. soldiers invade Nigeria, they won’t go back home. Those Boko Haram members? They are people’s fathers, brothers, and husbands.

Presidency Debunks Tinubu’s Visit to US

The Presidency has refuted claims that President Bola Tinubu is scheduled to travel to the United States on Tuesday to meet Vice President J.D. Vance. Temitope Ajayi, Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, described the report as false and misleading in a statement shared on his official X account on Monday. He clarified that any visit to the White House would involve a meeting with US President Donald Trump, not the Vice President. “There’s a Sahara Reporters story that President Tinubu is going to the U.S. on Tuesday to see U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance. That story is not true. I can see that the fake news by Sahara has become the basis for some uninformed commentaries since yesterday. If President Tinubu is going to the White House, he won’t be going to see a Vice President,” Ajayi wrote. Earlier, the Presidency, through Special Adviser on Policy Communication Daniel Bwala, said that President Tinubu and President Trump share a common interest in tackling insurgency and terrorism. He noted that a meeting could take place either in Abuja or Washington, D.C., in the coming days. Bwala added: “Both President @officialABAT and President @realDonaldTrump have shared interest in the fight against insurgency and all forms of terrorism against humanity. President Trump has supported Nigeria by approving the sale of arms, which President Tinubu has effectively utilized in combating terrorism, achieving significant results. Any differences regarding whether terrorists target only Christians or people of all faiths will be addressed directly by the two leaders during their meeting, either at State House or the White House.”

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.

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

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’s Response to Trump Is Deaf, Dumb, Blind & Suicidal — Mike Arnold

Tinubu’s Response to Trump Is Deaf, Dumb, Blind & Suicidal — Mike Arnold

I thought Tinubu was supposed to be a smart politician. His response to Trump is not just tone deaf — it is deaf, dumb, and blind. Maybe even suicidal. He just doesn’t get it, does he? I warned them. International scrutiny is coming to Nigeria like nothing they’ve ever comprehended. It’s about time! Through their corruption and brutality, they’ve become very sloppy and prideful, thinking they were untouchable. Well, he’s about to be touched in a way that he will never forget. Trump doesn’t give too many second chances to get it right. Any more empty pontificating from this administration, one more massacre, and Nigeria will face consequences it can’t ignore. And to the civilized world, that’s not soon enough. @officialABAT @YusufTuggar @HMMohammedIdris @SenGodswill

Tinubu To Meet Trump To Address Alleged Christian Genocide In Nigeria

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.

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

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.
