Dear Representative Riley M. Moore,
@RepRileyMoore
RE: Peddling misinformation about the crisis in Nigeria by you and your lobby groups .
We write to correct and clarify the record on Nigeria. Travel and meetings, while valuable, do not justify reducing Nigeria’s crisis to a single story. The separation question is at the root of today’s instability.
It is true that violence targets Muslims, Christians, and others alike. In parts of the North, especially Kaduna, Christians are heavily targeted.
In the Northwest, Boko Haram–linked cells kill both Muslims and Christians. The reality is complex and cannot be reduced to one narrative.
The deeper cause of today’s violence is the historical injustice of the forced amalgamation of different peoples and regions in 1914 without consent.
That political arrangement has long failed. Christians in the Southeast and other regions have faced attacks by Fulani jihadist elements, some enabled by political actors in the North.
Insurgency, banditry, criminality, governance failure, and weak policing are consequences of this unresolved forced union—a political marriage never settled through a referendum or a genuine agreement allowing self-determination.
This crisis is not only about religion. Framing it as a religious war misdiagnoses the problem and leads to the wrong solutions.
The real solution is political separation and restructuring so communities can govern themselves and reduce the cycle of violence.
There is a serious case for partitioning Nigeria. The Nigerian state has, at times, tolerated or done business with terrorist elements in the North, including factions linked to Boko Haram.
Those killing Christians and moderate Muslims alike are known to elements within the system.Blaming “external pressure” for emboldening separatists ignores the real drivers of instability: the unresolved question of statehood, corruption, impunity, and a broken, ineffective security sector.
These conditions empower terrorism.
No matter how much money or equipment is given to the Nigerian army, the situation will worsen without fundamental political restructuring.
Security cooperation and military aid may sound reassuring, but history shows they often prioritize optics over civilian protection and real reform.
Without separate statehood arrangements, accountability, and genuine reforms achieved through a referendum, more deals and more weapons will not make Christians—or any Nigerians—safer.
