He lamented the level of corruption that has been going on in Nigeria for a long time, adding that his state is the most affected with respect to the alleged Christian killings.
Why man sought aylum
In a video posted on TikTok, the young man said he sought asylum because he no longer feels safe in Nigeria and needs to leave the country for the US.
He expressed his desire to join the US Army. He further slammed the authorities and accused them of trying to hide the alleged Christian genocide in Nigeria from the US. In his words:
"So guys, I went to the US embassy today in order to draft a letter, you understand?, to the US ambassador.
"And the Nigerian securities there told me that they would have to see my letter before they can issue out the letter to the ambassador. And you see this whole thing is crazy, you understand?
"Why will you want to go through my letter? Letter I wrote to the ambassador before you draft the letter to him.
"You see, this whole corruption in Nigeria is going on for a very long time but most of you guys don't know.
"I am from the most affected area of Nigeria, Plateau State. This place they have been killing Christians for a couple of years now.
"They have been killing Christian for a couple of yours and I am seeking for asylum. I want to leave this country. I don't feel safe anymore. I want to leave.
"I want to join the US military I drafted a letter to the ambassador and you are telling me you have to go through the letter first before you drop it, so that you can be able to go through the letter.
"Once you read it, you tear it. They don't want the US to know what is happening in Nigeria. But you see this whole thing, it would have to stop. I promise you, it would have to stop. Peace out."
