Nigeria Rejects US Lawmakers' Christian Genocide Claims

Pro-government narrative

These Genocide Claims represent dangerous foreign propaganda that ignores complex realities. Both Christians and Muslims suffer equally from terrorism, banditry and resource conflicts — recent mosque attacks prove terrorists target all faiths indiscriminately. Nigeria's security leadership is predominantly Christian, making genocide accusations absurd. The violence stems from poverty, land disputes and climate change, not religious persecution. These false narratives threaten to deepen divisions and embolden terrorists by restricting Nigeria's access to defensive weapons through misguided sanctions.
