The persecution facing Christians in Nigeria is extreme and often brutally violent, as Islamic militants and armed bandits attack with increasing impunity.

This mostly affects believers living in the Muslim-majority north and Middle Belt, but it’s also spreading to the south. Although all civilians are subject to threats and violence, Christians are often specifically targeted because of their faith. Boko Haram and the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), for example, want to eliminate the presence of Christianity in Nigeria.

Men and boys are often specifically targeted by extremist groups, with the aim of destroying livelihoods and stifling Christian population growth. Christian women and girls in northern Nigeria, and increasingly further south, are vulnerable to persecution for their faith and gender.

Troublingly, discrimination against Christian men has also been reported within the government armed forces, with Christian soldiers sent to the most dangerous areas where they’re acutely at risk at being killed by Boko Haram or other extremist groups.

In northern states that operate under Sharia (Islamic law), Christians can be treated as second-class citizens, whilst Christians who convert from Islam are also at risk of pressure and persecution.

But you guys have been saying the North won't vote a southerner, una don remember say there is something called Middle belt right now? Yeebos and hypocrisy is just like bread and butter.

Peter Obi will never rule Nigeria. A Muslim will be the president of this country next year, anybody that is not happy should kill himself or herself.

If PO miraculously becomes president ( I think nothing short of a miracle will give him the seat), that one you mentioned is complete akamu case. That one is a non issue.

Our politicians are self centered, none of them cares about party.
