12:51Now PlayingThe Director of the Africa Programme at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies, Oge Onubogu, says branding Nigeria’s insecurity as Christian persecution oversimplifies a complex situation.
Onubogu spoke on Thursday during a U.S. Congress hearing by the House Subcommittee on Africa, to examine President Donald Trump’s decision to return Nigeria to the Country of Particular Concern list.
She recalled her upbringing in Jos and her family’s history in Christian missionary work and warned against a narrow narrative that reduces the crisis to Christian persecution.
“A narrow narrative that frames Nigeria’s security situation solely as the persecution of Christians oversimplifies the issue.
“Religious and ethnic violence is driven more by governance failures and worsened by hate speech and conspiracy theories,” she said.
