They persecute Christians there, also some of the articles mention Shia Muslims and who knows whom else but it’s pretty bad right now.

U.S. adds Nigeria to list of world’s worst religious freedom violators​

By Darryl Coote

Dec. 8 (UPI) – The Trump administration has added Nigeria to a list of the world’s worst violators of religious freedom, opening up the African nation to punitive measures.

The State Department designated Nigeria for the first time as a Country of Particular Concern on Monday under the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 for engaging in or tolerating “systematic, ongoing egregious violations of religious freedom.”

Burma, China, Eritrea, Iran, North Korea, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan were all re-designated as CPCs, the statement department said.

So, perhaps the main offenders, except I don’t see Pakistan in there nor Egypt for that matter.
