American star singer, Nicki Minaj spoke at a United Nations event in New York, addressing reports of attacks on religious communities in Nigeria.
She called for global attention and protection for all people to practice their faith safely, emphasizing unity and peace.
Minaj who framed the Nigerian crisis as part of a global issue affecting freedom of belief, praised interfaith leaders and peace advocates working to promote security and harmony across communities.
She said: “In Nigeria, Christians are being targeted, driven from their homes, and killed. Churches have been burned, families have been torn apart, and entire communities live in fear constantly, simply because of how they pray.”
“Sadly, this problem is not only a growing problem in Nigeria, but also in so many other countries across the world, and it demands urgent action.
“Protecting Christians in Nigeria is not about taking sides or dividing people. It is about uniting humanity”
The American musician thanked Trump “for prioritising this issue and for his leadership on the global stage in calling for urgent action to defend Christians in Nigeria, to combat extremism, and to bring a stop to violence against those who simply want to exercise their natural right to freedom of religion or belief.”
She expressed the hope that Tuesday’s event would “encourage deepened solidarity for us to urgently work together to ensure every person can enjoy the right to believe, to worship, and to live in peace.”
