China says it firmly supports the Nigerian government as it “leads its people on the development path suited to its national conditions”.
Addressing a press conference on Tuesday, Mao Ning, spokesperson of China’s foreign ministry, said “as Nigeria’s comprehensive strategic partner, China firmly opposes any country using religion and human rights as an excuse to interfere in other countries’ internal affairs, and threatening other countries with sanctions and force”.
Ning was answering a question on US President Donald Trump’s threat of military action in Nigeria over alleged persecution of Christians.

I spent weeks in the ICU in November 2024 and I most likely would have died if I had gone to the UCH instead.
Patients died.
Students missed examinations.
Medical personnels had to work under the worst possible conditions while UCH endured over 100 days of darkness.
