Trump’s new love for Christians plot to destroy Nigeria – Mahdi Shehu
Public affairs commentator, Mahdi Shehu, has criticised United States President, Donald Trump over his recent threat to launch military action in Nigeria under the guise of protecting Christians.
In a post shared on X on Sunday night, Shehu described Trump as a war monger and accused America of hypocrisy in matters of religion, morality, human rights, and democracy.
He said Trump’s claim of defending persecuted Christians in Nigeria was nothing but faith pretence and hypocrisy.
“There is no better pretender about religion, morality, equality, human rights, justice and democracy than America, and now along with its blood-thirsty Hollywood actor, Trump,” Shehu wrote.
He added that the U.S. has failed to deal with its own internal problems but constantly interferes in the affairs of other nations.
“With a series of terror attacks and daily killings of its citizens, America is unable to alert its own people but has the effrontery to create a false sense of concern for others,” he said.
Shehu accused America of promoting instability across the world, recalling that from 1945 to date, the U.S. has directly or through funded and armed proxies killed millions of Christians of all sects and denominations not in Jesus’ name but under selfish and sadistic motives.
He said America exports a different brand of democracy to Africa and pretends to care about human rights while supporting monarchies elsewhere because crude oil is sweet and arms sales are profitable.
Shehu further alleged that America gives safe haven to stolen funds from weaker nations but continues to blame them for poor development.
The activist warned that Trump’s so-called defense of Christians could cause religious tension and conflict in Nigeria.
“In the process of killing Islamic terrorists in Nigeria, American drones and war planes will end up targeting Islamic clerics, Muslim-dominated settlements, mosques, and madrasas,” he said.
According to him, the true goal of America’s new love for Christians is to destabilize Nigeria, install puppets, and exploit the country’s natural resources.
“The whole aim of America’s ‘new love for Christians’ is to create war in Nigeria, destroy it as a potential regional power, install stooges, rule by proxy, and extract endless raw materials for their satisfaction,” Shehu stated.
He likened America’s actions to its role in other conflict-ridden countries such as Guatemala, Nicaragua, Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Somalia, Afghanistan, and Iran.
“When one recalls these countries, one cannot stop seeing America as the Devil Incarnate,” Shehu wrote.
He accompanied the post with a picture of President Trump in court, alleging that he was docked for inciting criminal violence and undermining democracy in the U.S.
He ended his post with the words, “The devil is a liar.”
