In a bold move reflecting the ongoing cultural battles in American education, President Donald Trump has reportedly tapped Pastor John K. Amanchukwu Sr., a Nigerian-American preacher, author, and activist, to join the MAGA movement in a significant role aimed at safeguarding American children from inappropriate materials in school literature. Amanchukwu, known for his staunch conservative values and fearless advocacy, announced on April 1, 2025, via a post on X that he had been appointed as the “Book Czar” to oversee the removal of age-inappropriate books from schools across the United States. While a follow-up post revealed the announcement as an April Fools’ Day prank, the sentiment behind it resonates deeply with Amanchukwu’s mission and the broader conservative push to address controversial content in educational settings.
Born to Nigerian parents, John K. Amanchukwu Sr. embodies a heritage rich in cultural and spiritual traditions. Raised with a deep sense of faith, he has become a prominent figure in the American evangelical community, leading as a pastor and activist under the banner of his ministry, I Know God (iknowgod.us). His Nigerian roots, often associated with strong family values and a conservative worldview, have significantly shaped his perspective on societal issues, particularly education and morality. Amanchukwu’s journey from his ancestral homeland to becoming a rising voice in American conservatism highlights the global influence of Nigerian diaspora communities, many of whom bring a traditionalist lens to contemporary debates.
