U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened military action against Nigeria, accusing its government of allowing the killing of Christians. He ordered the Pentagon to prepare for a possible attack if the violence continues. Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu rejected any foreign interference but said he is open to talks with Trump about security cooperation. The Nigerian government insists the conflict is more complex, as many Muslim communities have also suffered attacks from extremist groups like Boko Haram. Some Christian leaders, however, claim there is a deliberate persecution of Christians. Trump’s comments have sparked fear and debate in Nigeria; some welcome U.S. help, while others worry that his motives involve Nigeria’s rich, rare earth minerals, which are used in technology and defense. Activists argue that Nigeria needs strong, fair leadership to address its internal problems, rather than relying on outside military intervention.

Pray against terrorism and religious extremism in Nigeria. Pray for the Nigerian government to take immediate and effective measures to protect the innocent civilians, especially Christians, in the country. (The Holy Bible, Psalm 34:14).

Pray for an improved and strong security system in Nigeria. Pray for more religious tolerance in the country. Pray for divine protection upon all Nigerian believers. Pray for the release and safe return of all the kidnapped victims, including Leah Sharibu (The Holy Bible, Zechariah 2:8).
