Nigeria Is the Most Dangerous Place for Christians” — US Congressman Sparks Global Debate

A statement by United States Congressman Riley Moore, describing Nigeria as the most dangerous place in the world to be a Christian, has ignited intense global reactions and renewed international focus on insecurity and religious freedom in the country.

The claim, which has rapidly circulated online, has drawn attention to persistent reports of attacks on Christian communities, kidnappings, and killings linked to banditry and extremist violence. Human rights advocates say the comment reflects long-standing concerns raised by global watchdogs, while others argue the issue is more complex and rooted in broader security failures affecting all Nigerians, regardless of faith.

As the debate grows, many Nigerians are calling on the federal government to respond decisively to insecurity, restore confidence, and protect lives and property across the country.
The question now dominating conversations worldwide: How will Nigeria address this perception and the realities driving it?
