A prominent Christian group in Nigeria has accused U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry of being “discriminatory...and divisive” during a recent trip to the West African country.

Kerry was in Nigeria on Monday and Tuesday and was hosted by the Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar III, the most senior Islamic cleric in the country. The U.S. diplomat also met with 19 governors of Nigeria’s northern states and held talks with President Muhammadu Buhari, who is also a Muslim.

The president of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Reverend Supo Ayokunle, told reporters on Thursday that Kerry’s visit showed a “lack of respect for the heterogenous nature of Nigeria” and favored the country’s Muslim population “to the detriment of the Christian community,” Nigeria’s Premium Times reported.

Christians (and Jews) the world over should understand that neither “Live Shot” Kerry nor Obama give a rat's hindquarters about them.

Didn’t Obama say that he wouldn’t help Nigeria with Boko Haram unless they embraced sodomy and sodomite marriage and LGBT? And they said they never would.

There’s a shock. He’s an atheist piece of #### and his boss is a muslim piece of ####.

At least they made that great deal with Iran.

John Kerry is definitely anti-Christian.

We certainly can't expect Satan's emissary to be fair to Christians, as Christians are Satan's number one enemy.

sorry, Rev Supo. We common folk are still trying to figure out how in Sam Hill Mr. Kerry got the job without congressional objection to begin with.
