<p>Hours after president Tinubu&#8217;s reply to the US president Donald Trump yesterday, November 1, 2025, the latter hit back with threat statement, warning that his administration will stop assisting Nigeria with any military aid and may as well invade if the killings of Christians in Nigeria persists.</p>
<p>In a post on social media on Saturday, Trump condemned what he described as the “mass slaughter” of Christians in Nigeria, announcing that the United States would “immediately stop all aid and assistance” to the country unless swift action was taken.</p>
<p>“The U.S. may very well go into that now disgraced country, guns blazing, to completely wipe out the Islamic terrorists committing these horrible atrocities,” Trump wrote. He added that he had instructed the “Department of War” to prepare for possible intervention, warning that any strike would be “fast, vicious, and sweet.”</p><div class="oCd0M11A" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>The remarks followed Trump’s earlier statement on Friday, in which he accused Nigeria of violating religious freedom and labeled it a “Country of Particular Concern” under the International Religious Freedom Act. The designation implies that his administration believes Nigeria has engaged in or tolerated “systematic, ongoing, and egregious violations of religious freedom.”</p>

<p>Responding to the accusations, Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu dismissed Trump’s claims, stating that the characterization of Nigeria as religiously intolerant “does not reflect our national reality.”</p>
<p>Tinubu emphasized that his government is committed to protecting freedom of religion and belief for all Nigerians, adding that Nigeria continues to work closely with the United States and the international community to strengthen cooperation in safeguarding communities of all faiths.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the senior special assistance to the president of Nigeria (in the office of the vice president), Gimba Kakanda, analysed that the US president&#8217;s post about the killings in Nigeria has been misinterpreted by many, &#8220;Perhaps comprehension, just like objectivity, has become a casualty in this debate, but I find it difficult to understand how anyone can claim that U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent statement on faith-based violence in Nigeria aligns with the sectarian agenda advanced by certain groups.&#8221;</p>
<p>He went further to explain that the Nigerian government or Muslims are not targeted at by the post of the US president, &#8220;Two points stand out clearly in his comments. First, he deliberately avoided describing the situation in Nigeria as “genocide,” instead using the phrase “existential threat to Christians.” Secondly, and crucially, he identified “radical Islamists,” not the Nigerian state, and certainly not Nigerian Muslims, as the perpetrators of violence.&#8221;</p>
<p>Conversely, others insist that the US government must not be given any chance to invade Nigeria, citing the plights of other nations that were invaded with military action enforced at the detriment of the citizens.</p>
