Forged by colonial lines that ignored its people, Nigeria now strains under insurgency, corruption, and oil politics as the military grinds on multiple fronts and voices like Ojy Okpe refuse to look away.

President Donald J. Trump has threatened possible U.S. military action in Nigeria, saying the United States “may very well go into that now disgraced country, guns-a-blazing” if Nigeria’s government fails to stop the killing of Christians.

President Donald Trump threatens military action against Nigeria over Christian killings, orders aid suspension and warns of "guns-a-blazing" response to Islamic terrorism.

Trump has previously claimed that Christians in Nigeria were facing an “existential threat,” and labeled the country a “Country of Particular Concern,” a designation indicating a country’s government has engaged in or tolerated severe repression of religious groups.
