ROME — A Nigerian religious sister has denounced ongoing targeted attacks on Christians in her country as well as the Vatican’s silence on the matter.Crux, a U.S-based online Catholic news outlet, that Christianity in Nigeria “is very much threatened, and Christian leaders do not seem to worry much about it.”
Many clergymen “act as if nothing is happening, except a few of them,” she said. “Many of us here also wonder why the Vatican and Canterbury are keeping so quiet about what is happening in Nigeria – the abduction and killing of religious people.” The nun also echoed criticism of the government of Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari for its negligence in defending Christians.Many people “do not have any trust in the present government,” she said. “Many suspect that the growth of Islamic terrorism in Nigeria is because of its president being a Muslim and almost all important organs of the Nigerian government are manned by Fulani Muslims.”
“Things may get better when a Christian becomes the president, but they are making every effort to prevent that,” she noted. “Many believe that things will be worse if the APC government with their Muslim-Muslim candidates succeed the APC Buhari government.”Nigeria from the United States’ list of countries that engage in severe religious freedom violations, despite evidence suggesting there is no country in the world where it is more dangerous to be a Christian.blasting the U.S.
