Trump Lists Nigeria as ‘Country of Particular Concern’ Over Alleged Genocide Against Christians

Trump Lists Nigeria as ‘Country of Particular Concern’ Over Alleged Genocide Against Christians

By Michael Olugbode in Abuja

United States President Donald Trump has announced Nigeria as a “country of particular concern” after claiming that Christianity faces a threat in the country.

The countries of particular concern are the list of nations the US finds have engaged in severe violations of religious freedom.

In a post on Truth Social, Donald Trump said, “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.”

“When Christians, or any such group, is slaughtered like is happening in Nigeria (3,100 versus 4,476 Worldwide), something must be done! I am asking Congressman Riley Moore, together with Chairman Tom Cole and the House Appropriations Committee, to immediately look into this matter, and report back to me.”

The US President continued that the United States “cannot stand by while such atrocities are happening in Nigeria, and numerous other Countries. We stand ready, willing, and able to save our Great Christian population around the World!”

The Country of Particular Concern list features Burma, People’s Republic of China, Cuba, Eritrea, Iran, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan, according to the State Department website.

The severe violations include “systematic, ongoing, egregious violations of religious freedom,” including violations such as: (1) torture; (2) prolonged detention without charges; (3) forced disappearance; or (4) other flagrant denial of life, liberty, or security of persons, the state department said.

The special watch list countries are Algeria, Azerbaijan, the Central African Republic, Comoros, and Vietnam.

Apart from countries, the US also has a list of entities that are of particular concern. These are al Qa’ida affiliate Al-Shabaab, Boko Haram, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, the Houthis, ISIS-Sahel (formerly known as ISIS-Greater Sahara), ISIS-West Africa, al Qa’ida affiliate Jamaat Nasr al-Islam wal Muslimin, and the Taliban.

Many Nigerian politicians were once involved in 419 abroad – Orji Uzor Kalu

Many Nigerian politicians were once involved in 419 abroad – Orji Uzor Kalu

Former Abia State governor, Orji Uzor Kalu, has claimed that some Nigerians who were once involved in 419 and other dangerous criminal activities abroad have now found their way into politics in the country.

Kalu alleged that several of these politicians had previously engaged in advanced fee fraud and other serious crimes in South Africa and South America.

In a video shared on his Facebook page, the senator said: “Most people, some of them were overseas doing 419, doing all kinds of dangerous crime all over, and you know a leopard cannot change its skin.

“When people are used to taking money that doesn’t belong to them, they can never change their character. If you’re expecting them to change, it is not true. They can never change.

“I think that both the civil servants and politicians who are ruling, who are the ruling class, should stand up to help to redirect the economic dynamics of this country. The economic dynamics is very prosperous if we do it right.

“Why should people stack dollars in their houses? Why should people be giving out dollars? It’s not our legal tender. People should learn how to put the money in Nigeria’s system so Nigeria can now benefit from the money that we’re transacting on.

“So I think that we are working very hard whether people complain, a lot of people that were in South Africa and Southern America everywhere doing all kinds of business are today in politics, but it’s what we see.”

The former Senate Chief Whip also urged well-meaning Nigerians to join politics for the right reasons rather than financial gain.

He said: “Let the good people come and join and make politics better the way it should be. It’s not for saints. This business is not for saints, but it’s not for people that instantly have damaged themselves in cheating white men or other black people.

“For me, I plead with our people, let us support our economic reforms no matter what our political leaning will be, whether it’s in anything or this or that. We should come together and build a new leaf.”
