Nigerian Priest Appeals To Trump: ‘We’re Slaughtered Like Cows, Please Come Quickly
By Abosede Temitope
In recent news, President Donald Trump has taken a bold step in addressing the ongoing persecution of Christians in Nigeria. The US leader has designated Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern and has vowed military intervention to end the alleged massacre of Christians in the country. This decision has sparked a mix of reactions across the nation, with some applauding Trump’s move while others argue that the security crisis in Nigeria has nothing to do with religion.
However, one voice has emerged in support of Trump’s decision – Catholic Priest Fada Angelo Chidi Unegbu. In a statement posted on his Facebook page on Sunday, Fada Angelo expressed his support for the US intervention and shared his frustration with the current state of Nigeria. According to the priest, he and others have been appealing to influential political leader Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to take action against the ongoing violence in the country. He lamented that their pleas fell on deaf ears as the killings continue and innocent lives are lost on a daily basis.
Fada Angelo also pointed out the disturbing reality that terrorists in Nigeria are able to roam freely, while peaceful protestors and activists are either killed or faced with imprisonment by the government. He emphasized that the situation in Nigeria is dire and that urgent action is needed to put an end to the injustice and insecurity that plagues the nation.
In a separate post, the Catholic clergy highlighted the significance of the US intervention in the current crisis. He stated, “if the US comes to our aid, the chances are 50/50, but if not, our doom is sealed”. This powerful statement speaks to the critical state of Nigeria and the urgent need for assistance. Fada Angelo then makes a plea to Donald J. Trump to come to the aid of the Nigerian people, as he believes the US intervention is their best hope for ending the ongoing violence and loss of lives.
In conclusion, Fada Angelo Chidi Unegbu’s voice as a Catholic Priest carries weight in this matter as he directly witnesses the suffering and devastation caused by the Christian persecution in Nigeria. His support for Trump’s intervention serves as a call for action towards finding a solution to the ongoing crisis. As the situation continues to escalate, it is crucial for all stakeholders to work together to bring an end to the violence and restore peace to Nigeria. Let us hope that with the support of influential leaders like Fada Angelo, the US intervention can bring about positive change and put an end to the suffering of the Nigerian people.
