Description

Political Rhetoric, Media, and Conflict Narratives: Nigerian Responses to Trump's "Christian Genocide" Statement examines how international political rhetoric interacts with domestic media to shape conflict narratives in Nigeria. Using Donald Trump's 2025 description of violence against Christians as a "Christian genocide" as a focal case, it analyses how global political speech is interpreted, reframed, and contested through media framing, securitisation, and soft power. Drawing on securitisation theory, media framing, agenda-setting, and postcolonial perspectives, the book explores how Nigerian institutions, media, religious actors, and diaspora communities negotiate this externally generated narrative. It situates these responses within Nigeria's historical, religious, and structural conflict dynamics, highlighting the risks of oversimplification and narrative domination. The book argues that Nigerian actors exercise significant agency in mediating global narratives and maintaining contextual integrity. It contributes to political communication, conflict studies, and African international relations by showing how global rhetoric is refracted, resisted, and reconstituted locally.
