An informal network of irreligious Nigerians will organise a talk titled ‘Invisible Victims: The Persecution of the Irreligious Nigerians’ on November 12, 2025, in the country’s capital, Abuja.
Starting out at 10 AM, the event will take place at Kalabari Kitchen—which is a garden with restaurants and bars in Area 1—by the Pedestrian Bridge in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
The event’s digital poster was circulated only today—i.e., a day in advance—and its three keynote speakers are all Nigerian men; however, the poster touts it as ‘The First World Conference of Non-Religious People in Nigeria’.
But the event might just turn out to be a ‘world conference’—from the audience side anyway, given that its coordinator (and the talk’s would-be moderator), Genesis Eririoma, has since made sure that it be a Zoom event too!
A Zoom link was added as an afterthought to a revised version of the digital poster, which is posted below.
On Zoom—which is a free application requiring a (quick) download—the event’s ID is 871-5202-2805, and its passcode will be FwP8ER.
Eririoma was previously within the religious sector himself. For the past many years, however, he has been an active advocate and activist for fact and reason—and an opponent of religious dogma as much as any allegations of ‘divine’. He has also published his views, and critiques of religious and allegedly ‘divine’ notions, in the form of booklets—which can be purchased via this link: https://selar.com/m/genesis-eririoma1

The other two keynote speakers at this event will be Abraham Daniel, a former pastor at Dunamis Church, and Ovoke Ikechukwu Obasi, a newly inducted Barrister and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Nigeria.
Daniel, whose verbal iterations have involved strong anti-colonial Africanist views rejecting the three religions, was arrested in January 2025 for his critiques of Christianity. He has a YouTube channel, which can be accessed via this link: https://www.youtube.com/@Thecrudeandcuise
Obasi has frequently spoken out against human rights abuses that have tended to result over the course of past several years from the religious quarters in Nigeria.
