Wagner Calls on U.S. State Department to Designate Nigeria a ‘Country of Particular Concern’

October 31, 2025

In this compelling episode, Hon. William Wagner (Ret) exposes the ongoing humanitarian and religious freedom crisis facing Christians in Nigeria. Over the past six years, more than a million Christian families have been displaced and an estimated 29,000 believers have been killed amid violent attacks amidst government inaction.

Wagner examines why the U.S. State Department’s “Country of Particular Concern” (CPC) designation matters—and how reapplying it to Nigeria could help bring accountability, protect vulnerable communities, and restore hope.

Drawing from Scripture—including Psalm 10, Matthew 5, and Isaiah 1—the episode also calls listeners to remember the persecuted, seek justice, and respond to evil with steadfast faith and compassion.

Tune in to hear a sobering yet faith-filled conversation on truth, justice, and the moral responsibility of nations to defend the oppressed.
