Catholic Priest Begs: ‘Donald J. Trump, Please Come Quickly!’
By Toyin Adebayo, Abuja
Abuja — November 3, 2025
A FIREBRAND Polish Member of the European Parliament, Dominik Tarczyński, has thrown his weight behind President Donald Trump’s “guns-a-blazing” threat, declaring on X Sunday that “Nigerian Christians will be rescued very soon.”
The ultra-conservative lawmaker, famous for branding Poland the “last stronghold of Christianity,” posted the dramatic promise hours after Trump slapped Nigeria with the dreaded Country of Particular Concern (CPC) tag and ordered the Pentagon to draw up invasion plans.
In Nigeria, a Catholic priest based in Germany, Rev Fr Angelo Chidi Unegbu, stunned the nation with a tear-soaked Facebook appeal:
“We have begged Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to stop the killings… he has all it takes to end insecurity and injustice, yet he turned a deaf ear. Humans are slaughtered daily like cows while terrorists walk freely. Harmless protesters are either killed or in jail.”
The cleric, popularly known as Fada Angelo, then issued a direct SOS to the White House:
“If the US comes to our aid, the chances are 50/50, but if not, our doom is sealed… Donald J. Trump, please come quickly”
His posts, which have gone viral with over 50,000 shares in 12 hours, have split the country down the middle.
– Christian communities in Benue, Plateau and Southern Kaduna are sharing the priest’s plea with the hashtag #TrumpSaveNaijaChristians.
– Muslim leaders and northern governors have condemned it as “treasonable,” insisting the crisis is banditry and farmer-herder clashes, not religious genocide.
Tarczyński’s Bombshell
The Polish MEP, who once boasted “multiculturalism is not a value,” attached Trump’s CPC statement to his post and added:
“The world is waking up. Nigerian Christians will be rescued very soon. Radical Islamists will face justice.”
European Parliament sources told NEWSFOCUS the firebrand lawmaker is already lobbying the EU’s foreign policy chief to freeze Nigerian assets and impose travel bans on governors in the 12 Sharia states.
Trump’s War Drum
Trump’s Friday night Truth Social blast still reverberates:
“Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria… I am hereby making Nigeria a COUNTRY OF PARTICULAR CONCERN — But that is the least of it… If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet”
The White House has confirmed the Pentagon’s “Operation Saviour” contingency plan is on the table, with two carrier strike groups already steaming toward West Africa.
Tinubu’s Midnight Push-Back
President Tinubu fired back Saturday night:
“The characterisation of Nigeria as religiously intolerant does not reflect our national reality… Religious freedom is a core tenet of our identity.”
Presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga told Vanguard: “Mr President is married to a pastor. No faith is targeted. We are fighting terrorists, not Muslims.”
What Next?
– Tuesday: Tinubu jets to Washington for emergency talks with Vice President JD Vance.
– Wednesday: Senate President Godswill Akpabio convenes an emergency session on “foreign invasion threats.”
– Thursday: CAN and JNI hold joint press conference in Abuja — first in 15 years.
As church bells and mosque loudspeakers compete across the Middle Belt tonight, one question echoes from Benue to Borno:
Will Trump’s marines land — or will Nigeria’s leaders finally bury the hatchet?
