Anti-genocide billboard in Nigeria hits New York City

A large billboard in New York City has attracted attention after displaying a message about the killing of Christians in Nigeria, with images placed next to the text.

The billboard bears the words “END TO CHRISTIAN GENOCIDE IN NIGERIA”. It shows a burning church and a woman holding a child. The display also states that it was paid for by Across Nigeria, a group founded by Brad Brandon.

Footage from the location shows the billboard mounted above the shops, where it is clearly visible at night. The images used on the message board match those on the group’s website, which features the same images and message on its landing page.

Details on the website say the organization operates in parts of Nigeria and focuses on awareness work. Brandon is said to have experience in pastoral ministry and media and has been involved in work in parts of West Africa.

The site also states that the group provides educational support in some communities and help in others. He adds that his work includes areas described as high risk, where people face security challenges.

The message on the billboard led to an online discussion, with users sharing different opinions on the claim and the issue it raises. Some posts question the wording on the display, while others highlight broader concerns about security in some parts of Nigeria.

The billboard adds to ongoing conversations about how Nigeria is represented abroad, as groups and individuals continue to use public platforms to highlight issues they believe need attention.
