Nigeria government and independent analysts no dey accept make dem frame the country's violence as religious persecution — na narrative wey Christian right for the United States and Europe don long dey use, and even some Nigerian separatists wey get lobby for Washington dey push am.

Still, Nigeria remain for Washington list of countries of 'particular concern' over alleged religious freedom violations.
