The US House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee approves sanctions on Nigeria over the widespread killing of Christians and religious violence.

The United States House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Africa, has given President Donald Trump the green light to impose stringent sanctions on Nigeria in response to the widespread killing of Christians in the country.

The decision followed a congressional hearing on Wednesday, during which lawmakers condemned the Nigerian government for failing to protect Christian communities from escalating violence.

The committee also cited a 2024 report by the Observatory for Religious Freedom in Africa, which revealed that Nigerians ed for 90 per cent of all Christians killed worldwide each year.

The report documented that between October 2019 and September 2023, a staggering 55,910 people were killed, while 21,000 others were abducted by terrorist groups operating in the region.

During the hearing, Committee Chairman Chris Smith, who highlighted the severity of the crisis, pointed to testimony from Bishop Wilfred Anagbe of the Diocese of Makurdi, Nigeria, as a viable witness.

He said: “One of our distinguished witnesses today—Bishop Wilfred Anagbe—travelled a long distance to be with us, and his testimony is both compelling and disturbing.

I am totally against the killings going on across Nigeria from different armed groups in different regions and Benue in particular, I see politics in everything happening, hopefully this dark chapter will end soon

But I don't like it when America plays religious card to fool gullible christians, go to zamfara, borno, Kebbi, yobe, sokoto and see the mayhem being unleashed on the villagers from their own brothers everyday and it doesn't bother USA

Go to Anambra, imo, abia and see the havoc local armed groups are causing there

Go to Oyo, Ogun, Osun and see ritualists on the rampage and killing spree

Go to rivers, delta, bayelsa etc the home of militants and kidnappers

Let's be honest with ourselves, I don't think there's any persecution of Christians in Nigeria, people from different religions are dying everyday, all I see is bad and wicked leaders who don't care about their own people since their families don't live here in Nigeria

America is a useless country right now and they should mind their business, no one cares about their nonsense sanctions, they are known for ing terrorist groups across the world for as long as it serves their selfish interest, infact Nigeria should place sanctions on American government for aiding and abetting the genocide in Gaza which has killed over 45,000 Palestinians and for ing domestic terrorist groups against minorities across USA

The same spineless congress that cannot stand up to the scallywag in the Oval Office.


Call me whatever you like, I am a moderate & enlightened Christian.

This one never reach to go front page? Some.people are even asking how Christians are being persecuted in Nigeria as if they live in Mars. Something that the blind even hears the threats thereof. El rufai's son even wrote a threat recently, and this goes to tell you what has been planned and carried out behind the veil

That person didn't hear over 60 Christians were kidnapped yesterday or so?

That person didn't hear a reverend from was murdered few weeks ago?

That person has never heard of southern kaduna?

That person thinks fulani herdsmen are a tool for what?
Obama and Biden had used them to ruthlessly attempt to quench Christianity in Nigeria, but the enablers didn't know Obama was using them as a multiple tool - to also destabilize Nigeria and it's economy- the likes of buhari, el rufai and shetima were perfect executors for them.

Something that foreigners have come to with and now are voicing out because all the voices that have been screaming it Nigeria were being silenced and the govt has been pretentiously asking this same deceitful question "how has the killings been about Christians?".

Some Nigerians are always wont to say "why punish me fot committing a crime I am caught in, why have you not also caught the other criminals?" This is one of the dumbest arguments people who ed a secondary school put up.

Same US govt that has been sponsoring radical Islamist terrorists to massacre Christians through USAID since the days of Obama ?

Same US govt that backed ISIS to take over Syria and has turned a bind eye to the ongoing genocide of Christians in that failed state ?


Same US that is backing Azerbaijan in their highly sectarian motivated cross border war against Christian Armenia ?


Same US that s the full ethnic cleansing of Christians in both the West Bank and in Gaza ?.

America is the dragon that the wounded beast (Israhell) in revelation draws authority from.


America is ruled by Satanists who worship Satan. They even proudly display a statue to Satan in one of their major cities with a crown of 7 horns depicting the 7 deadly sins while bearing a book (knowledge) and brandishing a torch. The statue of liberty is a statue of Lucifer - the light bearer who is the god of the Masons and Jews who formed the US and have been in power ever since.

America is the great wh0re of Babylon and the sit of Satan.

The bandits, Boko Haram killing people in North, do they target people by their faith?

Those who are into ritualists in South West, do they also segregate people by their faith?

Oh, UGM operated in South East for over 2 years, even for the fact that South East claimed to be majorly Christians, do the UGM targeted people by their denomination ( Catholic, Anglican)?

Now explain to us logically how Christians are being persecuted in Nigeria

This is the kind of hearing and actions that you will never see or hear of in the British Parliament. Never! The British have dedicated their whole life and national pursuits to the shedding of blood of different indigenous peoples around the world, just to get their filthy hands on the resources of others. A nation of proud bandits. That was the reason why they organised, planned and funded the Biafran genocide and have shown no remorse ever since. Trump is fresh air..

I hope that this great move by the Trump presidency will contineu until freedom spreads to all nooks and crannies of this convulsing amalgam called Nigeria. And I also hope that this will form the basis for the release of people like Simon Ekpa! He was fighting a good cause. Fulani irredentists were on a killing spree in Nigeria all through buharis regime and have started off from where they stopped under this "Muslim-Muslim" regime of Mr Bulaabaa and his Boko haram protege..

Tears of an islamist/conspiracy theorist. Keep it up!
We are talking about the same USAID that delivered billions in humanitarian aid in conflict zones like Syria,etc. How is backing groups like the Syrian Democratic Forces (who fought ISIS) same as “sponsoring terrorism,"? You clearly have no idea.

The U.S. led the different nation coalition that destroyed ISIS’s caliphate. If America “backed ISIS,” why did it spend years bombing them and losing troops to defeat their reign of terror?

Read the rubbish you wrote up there. A simple research tells you that the U.S. has consistently called for peace and provided aid to both(Armenia and Azbeirjan) sides, we are talking millions to Armenia for refugees in. When did neutrality in a territorial dispute become “sectarian war-mongering”?

No one cares about your Hamas trash and just for your info the statue was a gift from , modeled after Libertas (Roman liberty goddess), and symbolizes Enlightenment values,not Masonic conspiracy. Grab some book and quit ranting all over the place.

In Ukraine, the US is backing a Jewish satanic mafia in its ongoing ethnic cleansing of European Christians using the Russian meat grinder .

The Orthodox church in Ukraine was dismantled and it's priests arrested , assets confiscated and a Jewish rabbi based in New York headed the so-called reformation of the church that has ended up having a Jew as the new head of the Ukrainian orthodox church. The new Jewish head of the orthodox church of Ukraine even declared that Ukrainians must convert to Judaism for their own good..

Zion Don who can't stop suckin Jewish dik did not see this .

What of the ongoing plans by Bill Gates and his fellow sociopaths in the Jewish WEF that are planning to replace Christianity with an AI derived religion ?

What of the embedded Noahide laws that were recently ed by the US Congress that has rendered the New Testament as antisemitic hate speech that must be subject to Jewish censor and narrative ?


The biggest persecutors of Christians today are Jews and the satanic land of mammon aka America.

I doubt if you did. Your question were preconceived on first perusal of my post. See below also as you compare the facts on the desk of the congressman.

"Today, religious violence in Nigeria is dominated by the Boko Haram insurgency, which aims to establish an Islamic state in Nigeria. Since the turn of the 21st century, 62,000 Nigerian Christians have been killed by the terrorist group Boko Haram, Fulani herdsmen and other groups."

If you are in the theater, you will come to with these facts.

Why is Zion Don ing an ISIS terrorist as the new leader of Syria and turning a blind eye to their ongoing genocide of Christians in that failed state ?

Until your threats are more than empty words, no one will take you seriously. History has shown us what happens to those who think they can challenge Israel, people like Nasrallah and Sinwar, who ended up hiding like cowards before meeting their inevitable death. That’s how all who threaten Israel and the Jewish people end, defeated, eliminated and gone.

You can sit behind your keyboard, spewing hate and making threats, but the moment you dare to act against even a single Jew, that’s the moment you’ll learn the price of your arrogance. Until then, keep hiding, keep talking to yourself, and know this, Eretz yisrael will always prevail.
Am Yisrael Chai 🇮🇱.
