Nigeria’s $10 million genocide cover-up

A disturbing new report from International Christian Concern highlights how Nigeria’s government is weaponizing misinformation to hide a decades-long campaign of violence against Christians.

Written by ICC Fellow Justin Joseph, “Nigeria’s $10 Million Genocide Cover-Up” reveals how power, politics, and propaganda are fueling a human catastrophe. Since 2009, at least 190,150 Nigerians — 128,750 of whom were Christians — have been murdered in ethno-religious killings, with the slaughter escalating in 2026. Yet, instead of addressing the crisis, officials are spinning a dangerous narrative.

During meetings with other heads of state, Nigerian President Bola Tinubu claims the terrorism plaguing his nation stems solely from climate change and regional instability. Researchers have repeatedly debunked this reasoning, pointing to the targeting of Christian communities.

Tinubu’s administration has launched a $10 million lobbying front to silence human rights accountability in the U.S. and whitewash the genocide of Nigerian Christians.

Prosperity gospel champion Joni Lamb died

Joni Lamb, a Prosperity Gospel enthusiast and co-founder of the Daystar Television Network, died on May 7th at the age of 65, reports Christian Daily.

Lamb had been privately battling serious health issues before suffering a recent back injury that significantly worsened her condition in recent days.

Founded in 1993 alongside her late husband, Marcus Lamb, Daystar Television grew from a small Christian television station into one of the world’s largest Christian broadcasting networks, with 100 stations worldwide, employing 300 staff, and bringing in $100 million annually.

On December 1, 2010, Marcus Lamb confessed on Daystar Television to having had an affair which Joni initially described, reported ABC News.

JONI LAMB: “Several years ago, Marcus and I went through a challenge in our marriage. I discovered that he was having an emotional relationship, if you will, with someone. It had turned into an improper relationship.”

MARCUS LAMB: “I take 100% responsibility. Joni has no blame. The other person doesn't have any blame. It's all --- I don't even blame the devil. It's all on me.

”I'm so sorry. I've asked God to forgive me. Years ago, I asked my precious Joni. And when with this first came out, I said to her, I said, ‘Honey, I only want us to stay together if we really love one another, not for the ministry’s sake, not even for our kids’ sake. Ladies and gentlemen, I love this woman.”

The reason they announced this affair is because they were being threatened with blackmail.

JONI LAMB: “There actually are three people who were not involved in what we're talking about today or affected by our marital challenge. They're now saying, that unless Daystar pays them $7.5 million, that they're going to take our story, that we just shared with you, to the media.”

MARCUS LAMB: “You see these three people, that Joni shared with you, they're trying to take our pain and turn it to their gain. Ladies and gentlemen, we're not going to take God's money and pay to keep from being, uh, humiliated, I guess, or exposed or exploited, whatever you want to call it.”

Subsequently, Marcus died at the age of 64 on November 30, 2021 after contracting COVID-19.

According to MinistryWatch, in 2020, the ministry used a $3.9 million Paycheck Protection Program loan, offered to pay the salaries of employees, to buy a private airplane, which the family used for vacations, reported Inside Edition. That loan was reportedly paid back after Inside Edition began asking questions about it.

Over the years, Joni Lamb became one of the most recognizable faces in Christian media. Unfortunately, Daystar frequently featured prosperity-oriented themes such as:

financial blessing tied to faith and giving,
“seed faith” donations,
and testimonies of material and personal success through faith.

Joni and her late husband Marcus Lamb regularly hosted ministers connected to the Prosperity Gospel movement, including:

James 3:1 says, “My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment.”

And, in another controversy involving Daystar Television, Joni’s son, Jonathan, claimed that his mother covered up the sexual abuse of his 5-year-old daughter by a relative, according to the Roys Report. While Jonathan had been Daystar Television’s vice president, he was demoted to a manager position for refusing to sign a non-disclosure agreement.

On May 8th, The Economic Times reported that Joni’s daughter-in-law, Suzy, who is married to Jonathan, stated online, “We weren’t informed of anything,” claiming relatives knew Joni Lamb was dying the night before her death but “didn’t call Jonathan to come say goodbye.”

Joni Lamb is survived by her second husband, Doug Weiss, and her three children — Jonathan, Rachel, and Rebecca.
