Insecurity: Trump, Nicki Minaj ‘Adding Salt to Injury’ – Security Expert Bulama Bukarti

Security expert Bulama Bukarti criticizes Trump and Minaj for sidelining local voices and misrepresenting Nigeria’s complex violence amid claims of coordinated Christian persecution.

  • On Wednesday, Bulama Bukarti, security expert, said President Donald Trump, US President, and Nicki Minaj, American rapper, are exacerbating Nigeria's security situation on Channels Television's Politics Today.
  • Outsider interventions, including Minaj's support for President Donald Trump's alleged coordinated Christian genocide claims, involved inviting a musician with no ties to Nigeria to the United Nations instead of local experts or victims.
  • At a US‑organised UN event on Tuesday, Mike Waltz, US ambassador to the United Nations, hosted remarks where Nicki Minaj said Christians in Nigeria face targeting and faith is under attack, while Bukarti noted she laughed less than two minutes after speaking.
  • Nigerian authorities pushed back, calling the claims `a gross misrepresentation of reality`, while analysts and organisations monitoring political violence say jihadists affect all communities and most victims are Muslim.
  • Earlier this month, President Donald Trump said he would send troops if Abuja did not protect the religious community, while observers noted religious freedom frames the debate as universal faith.
