Dem call am the Nigeria Religious Freedom and Accountability Act of 2026, and e wan make sure sey the U.S. dey involved for bettering the situation wey dey on ground for Nigeria, especially for Christians wey dey face serious persecution.
The bill require the Secretary of State to dey report to congress every year about how U.S. dey try handle this matter. E go make dem check if Fulani militias fit be labeled as Foreign Terrorist Organization. The lawmakers wey sponsor this bill na Chris Smith, Tom Cole, and Riley Moore, plus other big names from House of Representatives.
This bill no be just talk; e go follow the steps wey don already dey take to fight terrorism wey dey Nigeria. Last year, President Trump don already call Nigeria ‘Country of Particular Concern’ because of all the atrocities wey dey happen. Na serious matter, my people!
According to Rep. Smith, the Nigerian government dey always deny say anything dey happen. But as we dey see am, church attacks and Christian deaths don really skyrocket. The bill dey aim to help U.S. pressure the Nigerian government to face di reality of wetin dey happen.
For recent talks, they don mention sey between 50,000 and 125,000 Christians don die between 2009 and 2025. Na serious figure wey suppose make anybody think twice! No be wahala wey anybody fit ignore.
Moore wey don visit Nigeria talk sey he see di matter for him own eye. He share how churches dey burn, and families dey suffer o. Him still talk sey Nigeria need to work together with U.S. to protect innocent lives. United States dey ready to support wetin go fit change di narrative.

Further more, if dis bill pass, dem go fit require State Department to report how Nigeria dey handle blasphemy laws, droughts of religious freedom, and security issues wey dey affect people. Na serious monkey work, and we dey expect am to go through Congress quickly. Na so e be!
