Who or What Is at Fault in the Ongoing Genocide of Christians in Nigeria?

It is no longer news that there is an ongoing religion-inspired ethnic cleansing in Nigeria, especially across the Middle Belt.
The entire country—and even the international community—has been pointing fingers at the Nigerian government.

But who exactly is to blame?
Is it the Nigerian government? The APC? Tinubu? The Nigerian military?
Let’s reason together.

The APC Government and the Nigerian Military

The APC government and the Nigerian military cannot be absolved of blame.
After all, one of the core responsibilities of any government is to protect the lives and property of its citizens.
In this regard, APC has failed—completely.

However, the full weight of that blame will be addressed in the last part of this write-up.

Nigerian Pastors and Clerics

Not a single major Man of God in Nigeria has spoken up for their flock.
It’s strange that jihadists are killing their congregants—the very people who pay tithes and offerings—yet they remain silent.

The silence of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) is even more troubling.
Many men of God now openly support the APC government—some willingly, others under pressure because of their hidden compromises.

Is it a crime to support APC?
Of course not.
But when your support stops you from criticizing a failing government, then it becomes dangerous—both to your integrity and to the lives of those who look up to you.

So, are the clergy also to blame? Let’s continue.

Tithes and Offerings — The Major Culprit

This is where the real problem lies.
Many Nigerian pastors are deeply entangled in financial misconduct—laundering money, diverting church funds abroad through influencers, and buying luxurious properties overseas.

The APC government and the EFCC are fully aware of these shady dealings.
This knowledge has effectively silenced pastors, making them afraid to speak out for their members.

Such a thing would never happen among Muslims in Nigeria.
No Islamic cleric would stay silent if their people were being slaughtered. We all know how fiercely they defend their faith and followers.

Conclusion

The APC government continues to spend more energy denying the genocide than stopping it.
This denial only fuels the crisis further—first, in an attempt to preserve the party’s image and public support, and second, because of the embedded jihadist sympathizers within the system who want the carnage to continue.

The role of the APC in the rise of Boko Haram and Fulani jihadist movements in Nigeria is no secret to anyone.

Ultimately, the true fuel behind this genocide is tithe and offering.
Once Christians decide to stop paying these “taxes,” the pastors will have no choice but to wake up and speak up.

Right now, many of them are too comfortable watching wolves snatch away their sheep—because they’re too busy enjoying the money.
The Christian population in Nigeria is massive. If they stand up and defend themselves, their power would be undeniable.

But the so-called “Daddy G.Os” have caged them.
Corruption has caged them.
And until that cage is broken, the suffering will continue.

Could you tell us where precisely is that genocide on christians is happening in Nigeria. Which state, which region

To my best of understanding, The southern Kaduna people who are mostly Christian have not been attacked under this government. The killings in Benue state which reasonable christians are have been reduced.

The herdsmen attack in Southern Nigeria have drastically reduced

We have been reading about some bandits attacks in Kwara state which is mostly Muslim state, is that also genocide on the Muslim

Saturday morning gibberish!

Like insurgents round up Nigerians and separate Muslims from Christians.

Bro they should explain to us oo. The ritualists, kidnappers, criminals in Southern Nigeria, are they attacking people based on faith or just random attack?

Politics have made some people to lose their sense of reasoning

the scope of the writeup does not cover bandits collecting ransom. The scope is on ethno/religious genocide in benue and other parts.

Bro, Gentle the Yahoo operated for over good 2 years in Imo state which majority of his victims are christians, should we also count that as part of Christian prosecution in Nigeria?

Look at the number of times you mentioned APC

Realistically, is it the party that's is controlling the government?

So, if the president decamps to another political party like Labour or SDP, the problem would be resolved?

There was no problem when PDP was in power? Was PDP as a party the one that controlled OBJ, Yar'Adua and Jonathan?

So, it's your focus on APC in the post that betrayed your real intentions

By the way, you should also mention the specific areas where Christians are being targeted by kidnappers, bandits or robbers

Must we religionise or politicise everything?

Damn!

This is a list of Christian villages taken over my mulims terrorist and tried or have them renamed and occupied

Ipob are Christians.. .... So if they attack Christians ( that's if the attacks are carried out by them) is not a religiously crime

But when Muslims take over Christian villages and rename them and occupied them then not attack Muslim villages or rename them than that's religious attack

You have painted nothing but a bias and narrow perspective. Too narrow. IPOB slash Nnmadi Kanu's Biafra is a Jewish affiliation which indoctrination is judaism. IPOB leaders are self proclaimed Jews.

Helinios and other Islamic fanatics carry this posts meant for Nigerian Christian’s for head.

Let Christian’s react to this post.

The person wey chop fufu na him him body Dey fufu.

Truely Christian’s are being targetted

Will there ever be a Christian Christian president in Nigeria history hmmm
