Christian Genocide: Faith is under fire in Nigeria – US Congresswoman
US Congresswoman representing South Carolina’s 1st congressional district, Nancy Mace, has added her voice to the calls against ‘Christian Genocide’ in Nigeria.
MyNigeria reported that US TV show host Bill Maher had raised the alarm that Christians were getting killed in Nigeria, placing the death toll at 100,000 since 2009.
Maher said, “They are systematically killing the Christians in Nigeria. They’ve killed over 100,000 since 2009… This is so much more of a genocide attempt than what is going on in Gaza. They are literally attempting to wipe out the Christian population.”
Reacting, Rep Mace posted on X that “Bill Maher said what the media refuses to: faith is under fire.
“You don’t have to be a Christian to see evil for what it is. What’s happening to Christians in Nigeria is genocide, and pretending it isn’t happening won’t make it stop.”
Meanwhile, US Senator Ted Cruz has pushed a bill in Congress which will see punishment for Nigerian government officials allowing the killings to happen.
Renowned Nigerian singer and songwriter Tiwa Savage has arrived in Malawi and is already engaging with women creatives as part of her visit to the country.
The award-winning artist visited Music Crossroads Malawi in Lilongwe, where she interacted with young creatives and encouraged them to pursue their talents with confidence.
During the session, Tiwa also spoke about the challenges women, especially young female artists, face in the creative industry, including gender-based violence and other forms of abuse, urging them to remain resilient.
The “Eminado” hitmaker arrived in Malawi on Tuesday.
On her first night in the country, Tiwa was spotted enjoying an evening with several prominent Malawian women, including Temwa Chawinga, Kim of Diamonds, Maggie Kadrum, Tay Grin, and other creatives.
Her visit is expected to include more engagements with women in the creative industry as she continues her activities in Malawi.
Maranatha Private Academy Managing Director Dr. Ernest Kaonga has come out of his cocoon and commented on the recently released list of 2026 scholarship programe which has seen 485 learners qualifying.
Speaking during the media briefing in Blantyre Kaonga said currently management is on the process of verifying names of the selected students.
“Honestly the administration of the exams across the country were successful but management noticed some discrepancies.
“It looks like some have failed miserably during MANEB but have done very well during the Maranatha examination, which is suspicious,” he said.
He added that the selected students will undergo another assessment at the school and those who fail the subsequent test risk losing their scholarships.
Kaonga further stated that top-performing students may get an opportunity to pursue studies at Sharda University on scholarship.
Meanwhile, Kaonga has hinted that some staff members have been dismissed for accepting a MK2 bribe from parents and guardians.
The scholarship is worth Mk24 million per student.
