Nigerian govt aware of policies fueling Christian persecution, chooses media manipulation – Ted Cruz

November 15, 2025 (updated November 15, 2025) Published by

United States Senator, Ted Cruz has claimed that the Nigerian government is aware of policies fueling alleged Christian persecution in Nigeria, but chooses media manipulation over accountability.

In a statement he posted on his X account on Friday, Cruz also warned about a PR campaign being waged by the Nigerian government to fight the accusations.

Nigerian officials know their policies have created an environment in which Christians are being persecuted and slaughtered, including their enforcement of sharia law and their tolerance of Islamist violence,” Cruz said (via Fox News Digital).

“Instead of reversing these policies, they are waging a media campaign to escape exposure and accountability. I intend to prevent them from doing so.”

This is coming after the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Nigeria, Yusuf Tuggar, recently spoke on the alleged Christian genocide in Nigeria on Piers Morgan Uncensored.

United States President Donald Trump had designated Nigeria as a country of particular concern a few weeks ago.

Trump cited what he described as ongoing violence against Christians and the failure of the Nigerian government to protect religious minorities.

The US leader also said he had asked the Department of Defense to prepare for possible military action in Nigeria if the Nigerian government “continues to allow the killing of Christians.”

But the Nigerian government has strongly denied the persecution of any religious groups in the country.

Tinubu’s aide reveals why President won’t intervene in Nnamdi Kanu’s trial

November 11, 2025 (updated November 11, 2025) Published by

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Community Engagement (South-East), Mrs Chioma Wesley, has explained why President Bola Tinubu will not interfere in the ongoing trial of Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.

Wesley was addressing State House correspondents after she briefed Tinubu at Aso Villa on Thursday.

Nnamdi Kanu’s case is in court, and the President cannot make any pronouncement on it,” she said.

He abides by the rule of law. So, for now, we wait for the court to make that decision.”

Wesley’s comments come amid calls for Kanu to be released from the custody of the Department of State Service, DSS.

Kanu was first arrested in 2015 and granted bail in 2017.

The IPOB leader then left Nigeria after a military operation in his hometown, Afaraukwu, Abia State.

He was re-arrested and returned to Nigeria in June 2021 and has remained in DSS custody since then.

Wicked, Unpatriotic! – Labour Party Blasts Tinubu As Trump Threatens War

November 3, 2025 (updated November 3, 2025) Published by

The Labour Party (LP) has accused President Bola Tinubu of hypocrisy and denial over targeted attacks on Christians.

The interim National Publicity Secretary, Tony Akeni, pointed out that while Goodluck Jonathan was President, Tinubu never hesitated to call him out over the killings perpetrated by Boko Haram.

He stated this during an interview with Punch while reacting to President Donald Trump’s public threat to use military force over the alleged killings of Christians in Nigeria

The U.S. President, in a fiery post on his Truth Social platform, declared that Nigeria had been designated a “Country of Particular Concern” and directed his Department of War to “prepare for possible action” if the killings continued.

Reacting, Akeni said, “Eleven years ago, before Bola Tinubu railroaded the system to declare him President, he tweeted in 2014 that the killing of Christian worshippers was condemnable and questioned Jonathan’s competence.

At that time, about 11,000 Christians had been killed by Boko Haram in four years. Another 6,500 died between 2010 and 2015. Under Tinubu, that figure has skyrocketed to over 14,000 within two years, nearly double the PDP-era rate.”

Akeni described Tinubu’s dismissal of targeted Christian killings as “wicked, godless, and unpatriotic,” and commended Trump and other U.S. officials for their “courage and conviction.”

He also urged the U.S. to extend protection to liberal Muslim communities that have stood against extremism.

They have shown that a united Nigeria, irrespective of religion or politics, is possible if we have good leaders,” he said.

President Tinubu, in a statement posted on X, rejected Trump’s classification of Nigeria as religiously intolerant, insisting that the country remains committed to constitutional guarantees of religious freedom.

November 3, 2025 (updated November 3, 2025) Published by

The management of popular TikTok creator, Amadou Elizabeth, also known as Jadrolita or Jarvis, has threatened legal action against fellow creator, Hamzat Habeeb, popularly called Peller, over allegations linking her to money laundering.

In a recent TikTok livestream, Peller claimed that money laundering takes place on the platform through the gifting system, and suggested that Jarvis was involved in such activities.

Clips from the livestream are already circulating on social media, with the creator stating that he thought Jarvis was rich until she revealed the secret.

He also alleged that a “gifter” who supported him during a livestream once asked for a 50:50 share of the money generated from TikTok gifting, an offer he said he declined, and referenced this as an example of what he described as how people launder money through gifting on TikTok.

Later, the duo cleared the air on the matter and through their recent activity on social media, it was observed that they had made up

However, in a statement on Sunday, the management of Jarvis, Aiso Entertainment with the Instagram handle #aisohub, reacted to the controversy on TikTok, describing the allegation as false, defamatory and damaging to her reputation.

In the statement, the management said the allegation was “patently false and malicious,” and insisted that Jarvis had never been involved in any illegal financial activity.

The management of Jadrolita, alongside Jadrolita herself, unequivocally and categorically refutes this egregious claim in its entirety,” the statement read.

It added that Jarvis had “never engaged in any form of illicit financial conduct” and demanded that Peller issue an immediate public apology within 48 hours.

We hereby demand that Peller and his management issue an immediate, unconditional, and publicly disseminated apology to Jadrolita and her team,” Aiso said, warning that failure to retract the statement would lead to legal action.

The management further said the allegation amounted to reputational sabotage and insisted that the matter would not be ignored.

Again, Trump speaks on alleged Christian genocide in Nigeria

November 3, 2025 (updated November 3, 2025) Published by

The president of the United States of America, Donald Trump, has again addressed the alleged killing of Christians in Nigeria by some Islamic terrorists.

Speaking in a 15-second video while on board Air Force One on Sunday, November 2, 2025, the American President said the US government would not sit back and watch the ongoing acts of terrorism in Africa’s most populous nation.

He said, “They’re killing a record number of Christians in Nigeria and the country is going bad also. You know, that part of the world, very bad. They’re killing the Christians and killing them in very numbers and we’re not gonna allow that to happen.”

This reaffirmation by Trump on the alleged killings comes barely two days after he announced the designation of Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern.

Describing Nigeria as a “now disgraced country”, Trump also threatened to invade the African nation with troops from the US Department of War while ending the flow of funds for various humanitarian interventions.

He said, “If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the USA will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, and may very well go into that now disgraced country, ‘guns-a-blazing,’ to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities.

I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians!”Trump wrote on social media.These declarations by Trump followed a series of allegations of Christian genocide in the Northern part of Nigeria, including a bill – The Nigeria Religious Freedom Accountability Act of 2025 – which was sponsored by US Senator Ted Cruz.

Cruz, had, under the International Religious Freedom Act, cited what he described as “the world’s deadliest persecution of Christians.

While his move caused commendation by some Nigerians across the globe, the Federal Government at different times denied such claims, describing the US lawmaker’s allegations as a calculated effort to spread false narratives about Nigeria.

Juventus Sack Igor Tudor After Winless Streak

October 27, 2025 (updated October 27, 2025) Published by

Italian Serie A giants, Juventus have dismissed head coach Igor Tudor following a miserable run of form that has left the club winless in eight straight matches.

The Italian side made the announcement on Monday, confirming that reserve team coach Massimiliano Brambilla will temporarily take charge of the first team ahead of Wednesday’s Serie A clash with Udinese.

In a statement released by the club, Juventus said: “Juventus Football Club today announced that Igor Tudor is no longer the head coach of the first team. His coaching staff members Ivan Javorčić, Tomislav Rogić, and Riccardo Lanić also left their positions simultaneously.”

The club thanked the Croatian and his backroom staff for their “professionalism and dedication over the past few months,” adding that they wished them success in their future endeavours

Tudor’s departure comes in the wake of Sunday’s 1-0 defeat to Lazio, which extended Juventus’ winless streak to eight games and deepened frustration among fans.

The result also marked the team’s third straight loss across all competitions, leaving them eighth in Serie A and struggling to stay afloat in the Champions League group stage, where they sit 25th.

The 46-year-old took over from Thiago Motta in March and managed 24 games, collecting 10 wins, eight draws, and six losses. His only notable highlight came early in the season when Juventus beat Inter Milan 1-0 on September 13, their most recent victory.

Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio reports that Luciano Spalletti, who guided Napoli to the Scudetto in 2023, is the frontrunner to replace Tudor on a permanent basis. Other names linked to the job include Roberto Mancini, Raffaele Palladino and former boss Thiago Motta, who remains under contract with Juventus until 2027 despite being sacked earlier this year.

Brambilla, who currently manages Juventus’ second team, will now be in the dugout when the Bianconeri host Udinese at the Allianz Stadium on Wednesday.

Popular Nollywood actor, Uzor Arukwe, has advised single ladies to take self-development seriously and ensure that they are established in their own capacities before hoping to marry a rich and caring man.

He gave the advice while reacting to the praises the character of Odogwu, a caring billionaire lover which he played in the movie Love In Every World 2, is receiving on social media from people who declared the character as their ideal man.

He noted that the character of Chioma, the lover of the billionaire played by Bambam, was already a valuable woman before the billionaire began supporting her.

The actor explained that the billionaire didn’t need to ask his woman what her contributions to their marriage would be because it was clear she was an industrious woman.

Arukwe urged ladies to build value for themselves first, and valuable men would naturally locate them.

On his X handle, he wrote, “While we are basking in our delulu, it’s important to remember that Odogwu saw Chioma as a valuable woman before throwing his full weight to support her. He didn’t even need to ask what she brings to the table because it was clear she’s an industrious woman. So as a woman, build value for yourself first, and your Odogwu will locate you to become your helpmate that makes everything easier to handle.”
