An interesting angle on this narrative is that it seems to originate from a separatist movement - the so-called "Biafran separatists" - in the South of Nigeria who last year hired former U.S. Congressman Jim Moran as a lobbyist to push for their movement.

On the very website of Jim Moran's lobbying firm - Moran Global Strategies - he posted last year that he was taking them as clients and intended "to lobby to gain US support for Biafra’s independence" under the angle of "raising the alarm on the persecution of Christians": moranstrategies.com/us-ex-congress…
Which is quite an ironic angle in the case of the Biafra area because it's located in the South of the country, which is overwhelmingly Christian (Nigeria is actually the country in Africa with the most Christians), and is the safest part of the country for Christians.
They're apparently paying Jim Moran "under a $10K per month contract" (again, according to Moran himself on his website) which, assuming this is indeed what spurred Trump's sudden passion for Nigerian Christians, would make it perhaps the greatest ROI in lobbying history: shaping US foreign policy for the cost of a small startup's marketing budget.
