Rep. Riley Moore, R-W. Va., joins 'Fox & Friends Weekend' to discuss the tension surrounding the government shutdown and an increase in Christian persecution in Nigeria.

Good. The slaughter of these people by Islamists should not be ignored.
The next thing President Trump should do is to impose sanctions/tarrifs against Nigeria.
What an understatement!! Muslims have murdered over 60,000 Christians in Nigeria since 2000. The Nigeria "concern" ship sailed long ago.
Why doesn't our government respond to the savage Muslims in Nigeria like it has Hammas?
My wonderful MD is Nigerian. Every three or four years he goes back there for a month to visit relatives and give free medical care to poor Nigerians.
He’s there now, should be home soon. Hope and pray he’s OK
“Christian persecution in Nigeria”
I’m sure the Lame Street Media will find a way to blame Christians for this.
Since Pope Leo seems oblivious to the slaughter, good that the bad old USA is doing something besides being greedy, nasty nationalists. /s
” According to the International Society for Liberties and Rule of Law (Intersociety), an average of 1,200 churches per year—or more than three per day—have been destroyed, looted, or violently closed since 2009.”
19,000 Christian churches destroyed according to some estimates.
Conflicting reports of the numbers of murders of Christians targeted in Nigeria but here are some:
Over 7,000 Christians killed in the first seven months of 2025, according to Intersociety.
Between 5,000 and 10,000 Christians killed from late 2022 to late 2024, as cited by Global Christian Relief and the Family Research Council.
3,100 Christians killed in 2024, reported by Open Doors.
Over 52,000 Christians killed by Islamist extremists and militants since 2009, according to multiple groups, including Intersociety.
Major attacks include the Christmas 2023 massacres in Plateau State that killed over 200 people, and attacks in Benue and Plateau states in June and April 2025 respectively that reportedly killed hundreds of Christians. Amnesty International reported that over 10,000 people were killed in Nigeria in the two years up to May 2025.
A lot of foot dragging went on before the good people stood up and started the Crusades.
That lesson should have been learned.
Nigeria has to make a decision to split the country in order to survive. They F’d Around and are Finding Out.
Nigerian oil for arms/training is their only way forward.
North against South and Muslim against Christian, bloody conflicts have beset Nigeria since at least the early 1950s. And, still, the carnage and strife continue.
My late Irish pastor spent 30-years there hiding and moving food and supplies and taking the sacraments through dangerous territory to those in hiding. He was shot at and suffered severe tropical diseases, two of which troubled him for life.
Starvation was a frequent threat. Once out of Nigeria, he could never manage to consume even a taste of yam, that vegetable having been, for long periods, his only source of food.
Late in years and frail, he was robbed and murdered in his small church office in Florida by a drug addict. He survived 30-years in Nigeria and the war in Biafra, but while living in the USA, he was robbed of his earthly life.
They caught her. She’s at Florida women’s prison these last 24 years with many more years to follow.
Rev. David Oliver Barrett, of Kinsale, County Cork, Ireland — his life was very precious to me.

Sen. Ted Cruz said, “Since 2009, over 50,000 Christians in Nigeria have been massacred, and over 20,000 churches and Christian schools have been destroyed. These atrocities are directly linked to the policies of Nigerian federal and state officials. They are the result of decisions made by specific people, in specific places, at specific times – and it says a great deal about who is lashing out now that a light is being shone on these issues.”
