Recent claims of a ‘Christian genocide’ in Nigeria are false and misleading. Nigeria faces complex conflicts involving ethnic rivalries, land disputes, and terrorism, not a religious war. Boko Haram attacks target both Muslims and Christians indiscriminately. Nigeria’s security leaders come from diverse religious backgrounds, showing no state bias. The government has made progress against terrorism and communal violence. False narratives, including those spread by foreign media, oversimplify Nigeria’s challenges and harm national unity. Nigeria supports peace and calls for global cooperation to solve conflicts. These facts highlight the need to understand Nigeria’s situation beyond simplistic religious labels.
