-Wale Adefarasin Questions U.S Love For Christians In Nigeria
Senior Pastor of Guiding Light Assembly, Wale Adefarasin, has questioned the United States government’s sudden concern for the welfare of Christians in Nigeria, describing the recent attention as curious given the country’s long history of religious violence.
Speaking during a recent church service in Lagos, Pastor Adefarasin noted that attacks on Christians in northern Nigeria have been ongoing for decades, yet have rarely drawn such intense scrutiny from the international community.
“For 40 years that I have been a Christian, there have been killings in southern Kaduna, killings on the plateau, there have been riots,” he said.

“Sometimes, I think it was in France, an image of Prophet Muhammad was defaced. Who remembers that? And as a result of that, there were killings of Christians in Nigeria.”
He explained that while the attacks against Christians in certain parts of the country were real and condemnable, they were not new occurrences and should not be presented as a recent or coordinated extermination campaign.
“It’s nothing new. It doesn’t amount to genocide. The way the West are talking about it, it’s as if a Christian steps on the street, his head will be blown off,” Adefarasin said.
Wale Adefarasin Questions U.S Love
“I’m trying to understand this sudden love for Christians. Is it because we now have one of the largest refineries in the world and no longer have to ship raw materials abroad and bring the finished products? Or is it because of the 21st-century minerals that we now have in our earth, that are used to generate nuclear power for electric vehicles?” he asked.
