According to a report by Daily Post on Friday, October 24, 2025,, the Director of the Abuja School of Social and Political Thoughts, Dr. Sam Amadi, has raised serious concerns about the growing discrimination and violence faced by Christians in northern Nigeria.
Amadi said that Christians in the region are increasingly treated as second-class citizens, adding that the Nigerian state has failed to protect them from persistent attacks.
He warned that the situation has become more alarming due to what he described as state-tolerated and sanctioned violence.
Speaking in an interview, the political scholar accused the authorities of inconsistency in handling religious issues across the country.
He said the government often turns a blind eye to acts of persecution and injustice against Christians in the North.
According to Amadi, the pattern of violence shows a disturbing level of complicity from state institutions that should ensure protection and justice.
He noted that many communities have suffered repeated attacks, with little or no punishment for the perpetrators.
He explained that this failure to act has created an environment where religious minorities feel abandoned and unsafe.
Amadi said the Nigerian state’s silence and inaction are signs of deeper contradictions within the system.
He stated that citizens should not be treated differently because of their faith or where they come from.
Amadi urged the government to uphold fairness and equality, stressing that a country cannot achieve peace when a section of its population feels excluded or oppressed.
The scholar warned that continuous neglect of the issue could worsen national unity and deepen mistrust among citizens.
“So, the Nigerian state is toying with inconsistency and contradictions. I see the northern Christians becoming more of second-class citizens. So yes, the Nigerian state is guilty and complicit in the sustained violence against northern Christians,” he noted.
