I was born a Christian, and I am shocked and horrified to find that Nigeria is allowing Christians to be murdered due to their beliefs. Our Christian brothers and sisters are being murdered while praying in local churches in Nigeria. This ongoing violence is unacceptable and must be condemned by the international community.

The Nigerian government has failed to protect its Christian population from such atrocities. According to a report by Open Doors, Nigeria is one of the most dangerous countries for Christians, with over 3,500 Christians killed for their faith in a single year. The reality on the ground is a direct violation of human rights and religious freedoms, and it is crucial for the world to take notice.

Preventing Nigeria from participating in the 2026 World Cup might seem like a harsh penalty, but it is a necessary step to bring global attention to this crisis. The World Cup is a celebration of unity, peace, and sportsmanship, and countries that turn a blind eye to violence and persecution should not be allowed to participate in this universal event.

By banning Nigeria from this prestigious tournament, the international community can pressure the Nigerian government to take definitive action to protect its Christian citizens and uphold their constitutional rights. This move can amplify the global call for justice and ensure the safety and freedom of Christians in Nigeria.

Sign this petition to urge FIFA and international leaders to take a stand against the persecution of Christians in Nigeria by banning Nigeria from the 2026 World Cup. Let's unite to end the violence and hold nations accountable for the safety and rights of their citizens.
