Description

In this episode of The More Freedom Foundation Podcast, hosts Robert Morris and Ruairi dive into one of the most misunderstood crises on the global stage — the violence in Nigeria, the claims of a “Christian genocide,” and the speculation that the United States might intervene militarily.

We explore how a mix of religious tension, regional insecurity, and government failures have fueled a humanitarian disaster — without fitting neatly into the narrative some Western commentators promote. While we don’t believe a coordinated genocide against Christians is taking place, the situation in Nigeria is undeniably dire, with thousands of civilians — of multiple faiths — suffering from extremist groups, criminal networks, and political corruption.

Robert and Ruairi break down:

  • Why some media voices think the U.S. could invade Nigeria

  • How Nigeria’s internal conflicts actually work on the ground

  • The role of religion versus economics and power

  • How government elites are enriching themselves — including the seizure of national oil wealth

  • Why a U.S. military intervention is highly unlikely, and what Washington truly wants

This episode takes a sober, critical look at a humanitarian crisis too often oversimplified for American culture-war politics — and asks what responsible concern for Nigeria should really look like.
