Reacting to Trump's concerns for Christians, Apostle Femi Lazarus, in a video that has gone viral, alleged that America’s interest in Nigeria was not humanitarian but a strategic move to divide the nation for its own gain.
He pointed to past events during the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan.

Apostle Femi Lazarus takes action
Following criticism from Nigerians, including Christians, the Apostle restricted access to comments on his page, as it now shows "Comments have been limited."
"Comments have been limited" means the creator of the post has restricted who can comment, either to a specific audience like their followers or to a select group of people they've approved. This is done to control the conversation, often to prevent spam, hate speech, or negative comments.

"Femi Lazarus, one day you will stand before God and give an account. This man, Evangelist Ezekiel Dachomo, has buried more Christians murdered by Muslim terrorists than you have planted church branches."

"The difference between Femi Lazarus & Paul Enenche is they both have different experiences with Muslim extremists in Nigeria. This is why we can’t take Lagosians serious in this matter. They have no stake and are shielded from the atrocities committed against Christians up North."
real_POK reacted:
"Femi Lazarus is a motivational speaker, he's not a pastor."

"Apostle Femi Lazarus knows exactly what he is doing. HE IS NOT IGNORANT and he is a disgrace of a Pastor."
