Envoy: US barred Nigerian officials from Nicki Minaj’s UN address on Christian persecution
Syndoph Endoni, chargé d’affaires at Nigeria’s United Nations (UN) mission, says US officials excluded them from attending Nicki Minaj’s address on the alleged Christian persecution in Nigeria.
During her visit to the UN headquarters in New York on Tuesday, Minaj said Christians in Nigeria “are being targeted, driven from their homes, and killed”.
The rapper was invited by Mike Waltz, the US ambassador to the UN, “for an in-depth discussion about what our administration is doing to protect Christians’ freedoms all over the world”.
Endoni said the decision to exclude Nigeria from the discussion amounted to “shaving our head in our absence”.
