⁣Nigerian Vice President Kashim Shettima’s recent speech has triggered intense debate, with critics and commentators arguing that its implications may have opened the door for international intervention, particularly from former U.S. President Donald Trump and Israel, in efforts to protect Nigerian Christians.
The speech, which addressed insecurity, unity, and national challenges, was interpreted by some observers as an indirect acknowledgment of the scale of religious violence and the government’s difficulty in containing it. As a result, discussions have grown around whether global powers could be pressured to step in through diplomacy, advocacy, or strategic influence.
This video analyzes the speech, public reactions, and why many believe it has strengthened calls for Trump-led advocacy and Israeli support to defend Christian communities in Nigeria. We also examine what such international attention could mean for Nigeria’s sovereignty, religious freedom, and long-term stability.
