There's Christians genocide in Nigeria. That is the fact.

That US wants to explore that avenue to steal Nigeria whatever you fear is their business.

I know you're defending this obvious truth because it will affect your stomach and the reason you betrayed your conscience.

No honest person will deny the genocide against Christians in Nigeria.

If a Monica on this forum known for his adherent support of APC and also a Muslim, can still speak in clear voice that there's a genocide against Christians while you who proclaimed to be follower of Christ and to be standing for the TRUTH still denying it just because of your political affiliation.

Very pathetic!





Why are we threatening war with Nigeria? Here’s why:

Nigeria was the single largest recipient of Chinese construction financing in the first half of 2025, with $21 billion in construction deals, making it a focal point for China’s Belt and Road Initiative. In addition, in late October 2025, Nigeria and China signed a major $3.5 billion investment partnership. This agreement focuses on boosting Nigeria’s infrastructure, energy, and manufacturing sectors, including the construction of new solar power plants, modernization of rail lines connecting major cities and expansion of industrial parks. The partnership is seen as a transformative move for Nigeria’s economic strategy.

….But if the country is in ruin because of war in the name of “saving Christians” China can’t expand their belt and road. That’s the REAL reason we’re threatening Nigeria.

You can keep posting the X handle of anyone who their posts dancing to your tune it won't erase the fact that Christian genocide in Nigeria is real and visible to blind.

That US wants to capitalize on that because FG and the so called leaders have failed to take a bold step to address that is your cup of tea.

You denying simply means you're wicked and have no truth in you.

I can post the comment of Muslims who are more open minded about this as well but I don't need that, you're the one who will keep running from pillar to post to find solace.

i post them so that perhaps you can understand better, seeing you don't understand from me. They are not dancing to my tune, i hardly know anyone of them. They are simply saying the obvious that i have been saying in a different way.
There i no christian genocide in Nigeria. There is insecurity in Nigeria, and there is christian persecution all over the world including Nigeria.
IF the US/any foreign force capitalizes, it is not just be your cup of tea but your life. They will come and turn you into statistics. As usual, the rich and powerful will mostly escape.
i have not denied but only refused to be a political/religious tool. My pledge and allegiance is to Jesus and my country, not to any religion, tribe or political party. It's not my fault that i'm not dancing to your idea of christians and politics.

I understand more than you and them because none of you are victims or witnesses of this genocide you people are just reading news and pushing conspiracy.

So, I understand better.

They are not dancing to my tune, i hardly know anyone of them.
You're the one dancing to their time because it resonates with what you want not that you're a victim on ground who experienced this first hand.

They are simply saying the obvious that i have been saying in a different way.
You people are just pushing the conspiracy simply because a Country like USA is involved.

Genocide against Christians have been going for many decades in Nigeria.

So, if USA decides to capitalize on that to steal your mineral resources blames your government and leaders who failed to act to protect life's and properties as the oath they took.

There i no christian genocide in Nigeria.
Your denial can't erase the truth.

There's Christians Genocide in Nigeria.

There is insecurity in Nigeria
1. What are the causes of this insecurity?

2. Who and who affected most?

3. Which areas suffered most?

Please back your responses with data.

there is christian persecution all over the world including Nigeria.
Just remove all over the world and stop being economical with truth.

Let's focus on Nigeria.

How does this persecution of Christians happen in Nigeria?

IF the US/any foreign force capitalizes, it is not just be your cup of tea but your life.
Jesus owns my life.

So you think I'm a coward like you people down south. What will I experience from USA invasion (which I don't even support in the first) that I don't experience already?

I know you're doing this so that you want to protect your life and your belly.

They will come and turn you into statistics.
Are the terrorists you're defending not doing the statistics already?

The people who are pushing this conspiracy are they not the one sponsoring all these evil people?

Tell your Tinubu to list the names already on his table of those sponsoring terrorism in Nigeria.

As usual, the rich and powerful will mostly escape.
It has always be like that and at the end something will change.

i have not denied but only refused to be a political/religious tool. My pledge and allegiance is to Jesus and my country, not to any religion, tribe or political party. It's not my fault that i'm not dancing to your idea of christians and politics.
You're denying it because you see countless videos of the victims.

The person looking for the truth will take a bold step.

I've given you instances.

Just travel to Bokkos in Plateau State and say in their market that there's no GENOCIDE AGAINST CHRISTIAN.

Even Tctrills engaged me earlier (which I believe he mistook me for another person) says he knows many communities that are predominantly Christians and already being occupied by Muslims.

There is a news of over 60 communities that their name has been changed to another by the terrorists.

All these are available data.

So you claiming there's no GENOCIDE AGAINST CHRISTIAN shows you are not for the truth.

Besides, I don't do politics in fact I don't even have voter's card, so you're the one who is doing politics with religion (well I don't have problem with you doing your politics) but you should stand for the truth no matter how even in politics.

For the umpteenth time, you are a witness to the insecurity in Nigeria, not to christian genocide. Your not so wise challenge for people to go to certain places achieves nothing. It simply proves that the people there are not Christians. People who are willing to kill me instead of preaching to or praying for me are not Christians or candidates of the heavenly kingdom. They are unlucky fellow Nigerians.
The people you witness do not die because of Christ or righteousness, nothing christian about it. They'd still be dead if they were Hindus. They died and are dying because they are unfortunately in the way of blood thirsty, land grabbing criminals. Your selfish behavior because "there's problem in your state, it's okay for the whole country", doesn't change the truth.

Who will kill you?

I only ask you to go an see for yourself.

You're changing the narration.

They are unlucky fellow Nigerians.
I don't expect you to accept them as Christian because of your evil mind.

The people you witness do not die because of Christ or righteousness, nothing christian about it.
Many of them are in church worshipping their God because they believe Jesus is their Savior and Lord when death came.

Many of their home are ransacked because the killers knows the religion they belong.

There was a story of a Imam who hides 300 Christians in the mosque when the killers came, you know why the mosque wasn't attacked?

because it belongs to Muslims, if your claim is right that everyone are victims why the mosque wasn't attacked?

Mind you on that same faithful day, over 200 Christians were killed no single Muslim.

Buhari gave the same man national honor.

They'd still be dead if they were Hindus.
That is why you're afraid to answer my question because you know your lying mouth will be exposed.

Why are these attacks always in Christians DOMINATED AREAS despite the fact that Christians are minorities in the North?

They died and are dying because they are unfortunately in the way of blood thirsty, land grabbing criminals.
Now, they are land grabbing criminals but why this land grabbing ONLY LIMITED TO CHRISTIANS DOMINATED AREAS?

How many land have these killers grabbed from Muslims DOMINATED AREAS?

Keep dodging my question but I'll keep hitting you hard with those questions for posterity sake.

[quote]Your selfish behavior because "there's problem in your state, it's okay for the whole country", doesn't change the truth.

isn't my state, I'm from Ondo state.

I reside in the North and many of my family also.

Meanwhile, this same issue is what is happening in Taraba, Nasarawa, Adamawa, Benue é.t.c not just only Plateau State and the same story is CHRISTIANS DOMINATED AREAS.

JUST give me one example of a place that Muslims were displaced from their land by your land grabbing brothers.

What you people don't even know also is that most Muslims affected are still from these minorities Christians areas because the terrorists see them as sabotage.

Lolz, i saw you accused me in one of my mentions of dodging you or running away from a thread. i'd rather do that and have you stay in your lane than force you to lie and continue to sin because you are arguing with me. But since you stay on like a flea and bird hastening to its destruction, i'll take time again to rehearse what has already been said severally. There is an insecurity crisis in Nigeria that transcends the present administration. In fact, the current administration is making good progress against insecurity compared to the previous two. It's overwhelming, though, but nonetheless, it is the fact.


It simply means you're not for the truth.

I only ask you to go an see for yourself.

You're changing the narration.
You're lying here again. You have consistently issued subtle threats that people who disagree with you should go to bokkos. Here are some again in green below. These were all your words.
If you have mind travel to Bokkos in Plateau State and stand in at the central market and say there's no CHRISTIAN GENOCIDE in their land. Let's see how it will go.

Just travel to bokkos in Plateau State and say in their market that there's no GENOCIDE AGAINST CHRISTIAN.

Like I said, leave your comfortable room in the south and travel to Southern Kaduna or bokkos in Plateau State and shout there's no Christian genocide and see what will happen to you.



I don't expect you to accept them as Christian because of your evil mind.
i can imagine myself lying to apostle Paul or Peter or the first-century christians that they were not being persecuted, and i know they will not harm me for that. But i know what goes on in the middle belt tit for tat. If the bulk of professing christians had been christlike enough like our early missionaries or the disciples who lost their lives and freedom for ACTUALLY preaching the gospel and being christian, the blood of the few saints would have turned that place and the unbelievers to Christ like it did in those days. But sorry to say, we've had a group of people fighting for their lives and businesses over the decades claiming persecution for Christ sake. Go and read about people who were actually beheaded or burnt for preaching the gospel. Go and read about missionaries who actually lost their lives to savages, barbarians and cannibals. You compare soft targets to that? It's harsh and may even sound inconsiderate of you guys, but it is the real truth we don't like to say. What is christian about a Simon killing people in the South East because he bears Simon for example? So, when they pick them up in large numbers, you will also say they are arresting and killing christians, instead of criminals? You cannot see that they are imprisoned for their crime, not because they bear christian names? It's a similar thing with the bulk of you guys. Your crisis is national and regrettable, but it is not because you are christians, you are just soft/easy targets in the way of the criminals. Fact.

There is none of your questions that i dodged. You only keep repeating the same thing like a bot. When i answered you, you went on some argument winning mission about who is persecuted and how. i am being persecuted, not only you and your friends. Everyone living godly all over the world suffers persecution. It is a shame that you don't believe the Word of God, not my fault.
Again, Classes of Terrorists in Nigeria 🇳🇬:
1. Boko Haram, Ansaru, ISIS West Africa, etc
2. Criminal Bandits & Rustlers
3. Murderous Separatists
4. Murderous Herdsmen
5. Murderous Kidnappers
They are all radicalized unfortunately. Boko Haram / ISWAP in the Northeast, Bandits and Criminal Gangs in the Northwest, Fulani Militants / Herdsmen in the Middle Belt (your place). Each actor plays a different role, with a distinct motive and method.

Boko Haram:To them, Western learning was pollution, a corruption of the Islamic soul.
On September 7, 2010, Boko Haram launched its first major assault - a prison break in Bauchi State, freeing over 700 of its members. Hundreds died that day. Now, shall we assume the Bauchi prison held only Christians? Or that the bullets magically avoided Muslim inmates?
June 16, 2011 - Nigeria’s first-ever suicide car bombing, at the Abuja Police Headquarters. Dozens perished. The target? A national institution - not a church.
August 26, 2011 - the United Nations Headquarters in Abuja. Twenty-three souls gone, eighty injured. Were they all Christians? Did Boko Haram strike the UN because it was hosting a Sunday service?
On April 14 and May 1, 2014, twin bomb blasts tore through Nyanya Bus Station. Over 150 commuters perished. Tell us again, did Boko Haram possess a passenger manifest that listed only Christians for that day’s travel?

And then came November 28, 2014 - a black day in Kano’s history. Multiple suicide bombings ripped through the Kano Central Mosque, killing over 120 worshippers and wounding 200 more.
They didn’t stop there - Mubi Mosque, Maiduguri Central Mosque, Dala, Mulai, Unaware, Gwoza, Damboa - all mosques, all attacked. We're not just talking about your one case situation but the problem in the country.
Unlike Boko Haram, bandits are men without a gospel - no creed, no cause, no conviction. Their only altar is greed. Kankara Grammar School attack in Katsina State, on December 11, 2020 - the first major school abduction in the Northwest. Over 340 schoolboys were seized in a single night of horror. Zamfara village attacks of April 2019, when the fury of these armed marauders descended upon settlements like Kuru-Kuru, Jagir, and Kabalawa, leaving over 200 dead and villages reduced to ashes. The soil of Zamfara, soaked in grief. On March 28, 2022, they struck the heart of Nigeria’s transportation lifeline - the Kaduna-Abuja train - deploying detonators that ripped the tracks apart. The attack left nine passengers dead and over sixty kidnapped for ransom. In the theatre of the Northwest, banditry is not a holy war - it is a business empire built on blood and ransom, where faith is irrelevant and humanity is expendable.
Now, here's where you are concerned in the middle belt. Fulani herdsmen or militant groups, their violent eruptions are woven from a complex web of motives, In the case of the Fulani herdsmen or militant groups, their violent eruptions are woven from a complex web of motives, yet none can be definitively traced to religion. Their story is not one of holy war, but of ancient friction, colonial negligence, and modern desperation.

A) Resource Competition: For centuries, the Fulani have been nomadic pastoralists, journeying with their cattle across grazing routes in search of water and fresh pasture.
In contrast, the indigenous communities of the Middle Belt and southern regions are sedentary farmers, whose survival depends on fixed farmlands and planted boundaries.
The herder’s cattle demand open grassland. The farmer’s livelihood depends on fenced crops. When cows stray into cultivated lands, tempers flare, and conflict ignites. This is not a dispute born in 2009, nor even in the age of independence - it is a centuries-old struggle between mobility and settlement, between the moving herd and the rooted seed.

B) Colonial Policies and Land Ownership Conflicts: During the British colonial era (1900–1960), policies were crafted that deepened the rift.
While the colonial government recognized certain grazing routes for pastoralists, it failed to legalize them. Meanwhile, land tenure systems favoured farmers, granting ownership through customary law. The result was a dangerous imbalance: herders had “access” but no “rights.”
They could pass through the land but never claim it - a ticking time bomb that has now exploded across generations.
Thus, the seed of discord was sown long before Nigeria’s independence - and today we harvest its bitter fruit.

C) Population Pressure and Climate Change: At independence in 1960, Nigeria’s population stood at about 45 million.
Today, we are over 220 million strong - a fivefold increase. More mouths to feed means more farms to cultivate, and more farms mean less open land to graze. As if nature itself conspired in the crisis, climate change began to choke the North.
Lake Chad receded, grazing belts withered, and the Sahara crept southward, driving desperate herders into already crowded agricultural zones. The result? A moving frontier of conflict, especially across Plateau, Benue, Nasarawa, Taraba, and Southern Kaduna - regions now etched in memory by tragedies like Agatu, Nimbo, Southern Kaduna, and Wukari.

Yet, beneath the smoke and blood, the motive remains economic, not religious. Just as Boko Haram’s attacks in Muslim-majority areas like Zamfara naturally claim more Muslim casualties, so too, when herders strike in Christian-majority regions like Benue, more Christians fall victim - not because of faith, but because of geography.
Their violence is not sanctified by religion, but driven by greed, ignorance, and lapses in governance.


Plateau isn't my state, I'm from Ondo state.

I reside in the North and many of my family also.

Meanwhile, this same issue is what is happening in Taraba, Nasarawa, Adamawa, Benue é.t.c not just only Plateau State and the same story is CHRISTIANS DOMINATED AREAS.

What you people don't even know also is that most Muslims affected are still from these minorities Christians areas because the terrorists see them as sabotage.
We're saying the same thing. You, your family and your resources are there. i didn't say it's your state of origin. Go to the IDPs in the North East and count them, or maybe you don't know the meaning of IDP. i will leave you again with other people re-echoing the obvious. BTW, some of what i put up there are copied.

There is an insecurity crisis in Nigeria that transcends the present administration. In fact, the current administration is making good progress against insecurity compared to the previous two.
Do I expect you to say otherwise?

Give a madman a hoe he'll gather hip under himself.

It's overwhelming, though, but nonetheless, it is the fact.

Thank God you couldn't provide a single post of mine where I said you'll be KILLED.

You're the one lying.

i can imagine myself lying to apostle Paul or Peter or the first-century christians that they were not being persecuted, and i know they will not harm me for that.
So who will harm you for searching for the fact you're denying?

But i know what goes on in the middle belt tit for tat.
Another blatant lie and false accusation.

You called tit for tat but failed to say who started it. It that an honest review?

[quote]But sorry to say, we've had a group of people fighting for their lives and businesses over the decades claiming persecution for Christ sake.
Do they are the one attacking people because of the lives and businesses.

Go and read about people who were actually beheaded or burnt for preaching the gospel.
I read about many.

So, you mean the whole Christians communities in Northern Nigeria don't go about preaching gospel but just using their place of worship to do businesses.

Go and read about missionaries who actually lost their lives to savages, barbarians and cannibals. You compare soft targets to that?
So, what happened is SOFT TARGET but you haven't read where Christians are beheaded, burnt or killed in a barbarian ways in Nigeria before?

It's harsh and may even sound inconsiderate of you guys, but it is the real truth we don't like to say.
And you're saying the truth that must be one of the wonders of the world.

What is christian about a Simon killing people in the South East because he bears Simon for example? So, when they pick them up in large numbers, you will also say they are arresting and killing christians, instead of criminals?
I know he must brought IPOB into this the usual way of deflecting.

What they are doing is evil and I can't remember where Simon ever said he represents CHRIST in whatever is doing.

You cannot see that they are imprisoned for their crime, not because they bear christian names? It's a similar thing with the bulk of you guys. Your crisis is national and regrettable, but it is not because you are christians, you are just soft/easy targets in the way of the criminals. Fact.
There's a Christians genocide in Nigeria. Fact!

There is none of your questions that i dodged. You only keep repeating the same thing like a bot. When i answered you, you went on some argument winning mission about who is persecuted and how.
I'm expecting your answer for:

Muslims DOMINATED AREAS where your land grabbing brothers have grabbed their land and renamed.

i am being persecuted, not only you and your friends.
How are you being persecuted?

Very simple question.

Everyone living godly all over the world suffers persecution.
How?

It is a shame that you don't believe the Word of God, not my fault.
Did the word of God explain how the persecution will be?

If yes! Tell me.

This is not a dispute born in 2009, nor even in the age of independence - it is a centuries-old struggle between mobility and settlement, between the moving herd and the rooted seed.

B) Colonial Policies and Land Ownership Conflicts: During the British colonial era (1900–1960), policies were crafted that deepened the rift.
While the colonial government recognized certain grazing routes for pastoralists, it failed to legalize them. Meanwhile, land tenure systems favoured farmers, granting ownership through customary law. The result was a dangerous imbalance: herders had “access” but no “rights.”
They could pass through the land but never claim it - a ticking time bomb that has now exploded across generations.
Thus, the seed of discord was sown long before Nigeria’s independence - and today we harvest its bitter fruit.

C) Population Pressure and Climate Change: At independence in 1960, Nigeria’s population stood at about 45 million.
Today, we are over 220 million strong - a fivefold increase. More mouths to feed means more farms to cultivate, and more farms mean less open land to graze. As if nature itself conspired in the crisis, climate change began to choke the North.
Lake Chad receded, grazing belts withered, and the Sahara crept southward, driving desperate herders into already crowded agricultural zones. The result? A moving frontier of conflict, especially across Plateau, Benue, Nasarawa, Taraba, and Southern Kaduna - regions now etched in memory by tragedies like Agatu, Nimbo, Southern Kaduna, and Wukari.

Yet, beneath the smoke and blood, the motive remains economic, not religious. Just as Boko Haram’s attacks in Muslim-majority areas like Zamfara naturally claim more Muslim casualties, so too, when herders strike in Christian-majority regions like Benue, more Christians fall victim - not because of faith, but because of geography.
Their violence is not sanctified by religion, but driven by greed, ignorance, and lapses in governance.
You couldn't see the deception in this your copy and paste. Very shameful.

How many churches was mentioned here? None! Why? For political BS.

The fact remains that:

1. More churches are affected than mosques
2. More Christians are affected than any.
3. More Christians COMMUNITIES are affected than Muslim dominated areas.
4. The same story in Bornu, Adamawa, Nasarawa, Plateau, Taraba, Benue e.t.c.

Why this your copy and paste didn't capture this?

If all what you listed are truth, why must Christians be the one to pay for the anger of Boko-haram against Western education?

You can keep denying this but the God you claim to worship will Judge one day.

[quote]We're saying the same thing. You, your family and your resources are there. i didn't say it's your state of origin. Go to the IDPs in the North East and count them, or maybe you don't know the meaning of IDP. i will leave you again with other people re-echoing the obvious. BTW, some of what i put up there are copied.









you're talking about IDP.

How many IDP have you visited?

Why are there more IDP in Christians DOMINATED AREAS than Muslim?

Like I said, you can keep defending this because of your belly but you can't change the fact.

There's Christians genocide in Nigeria.

1. Give me the number of Christians killed vs other religion since the beginning of this terrorism

2. Give me the number of CHURCHES destroyed vs other religion?

3. Christians dominated areas affected vs other religion?

You even think you're safe down south, don't worry you will soon fill the heat.

Nice reply!
"Continue to sin" as you're God to know that.



Better



Do I expect you to say otherwise?

Give a madman a hoe he'll gather hip under himself.



The only fact resonating with the supporters of evil and thief leaders.



Now you changed it to SUBTLE THREAD meanwhile what you said before was that you'll be KILLED.

Thank God you couldn't provide a single post of mine where I said you'll be KILLED.

You're the one lying.



So who will harm you for searching for the fact you're denying?



Another blatant lie and false accusation.

You called tit for tat but failed to say who started it. It that an honest review?

I just want you to answer those questions with an evidence, if Google or ChatGpt is your evidence just provide them

Stop dancing around

Lolz, you never said but you said. Which one na? Oh now you want me to answer with evidence, so i already answered them? You need evidence, go and search. It is clear that you don't believe me or my evidence. Do you believe the government for example? So why are you dancing around and asking for what you don't believe?
Lol, your question doesn't need the truth because i told you they were copied. Wow. And you also curse? Bros, i advice you and your ilk to leave politics for politicians and go and preach the gospel. Better to die as a christian preaching the gospel, than just die like a cockroach talking propaganda and anti-government narratives. i wish many of the deaths in the middle belt all these decades had been truely christian persecution, the fruit of the evangelism would being massive by now. Good luck with whatever you do. i'll be generally ignoring from now. i know your political leanings my dear, don't worry. i understand your source of problem more perfectly now.

No! You're dodging them.
Here it is again.

2. Give me the number of CHURCHES destroyed vs other religion?

3. Christians dominated areas affected vs other religion?

You need evidence, go and search.
Yes! If your claim is that there's no GENOCIDE AGAINST CHRISTIAN, provide available data about the atrocity of your brothers.

It is clear that you don't believe me or my evidence.
In your so called evidence no NAME OF ANY CHURCH MENTIONED, why?

So I need number of churches affected vs other religions

Do you believe the government for example? So why are you dancing around and asking for what you don't believe?
If you provide what I needed with fact, I won't reject your fact.

Lol, your question doesn't need the truth because i told you they were copied.
Just answer them, let's see whether they need the truth or not.

Wow. And you also curse? Bros, i advice you and your ilk to leave politics for politicians and go and preach the gospel.
We're doing that and that is why your brothers are furious and angry.

If we don't preach the gospel how do you think the number of churches keep increasing despite the persecution from your brothers?

Better to die as a christian preaching the gospel, than just die like a cockroach talking propaganda and anti-government narratives.
But you're the one doing that right now.

How many villages have you entered to preach the gospel?

i wish many of the deaths in the middle belt all these decades had been truely christian persecution, the fruit of the evangelism would being massive by now.
So all the Christians in those affected areas aren't Christians enough to you but just doing politics. That's wonderful.

Meanwhile, if there's no fruit of evangelism, how come the number of churches keep increasing despite many have been destroyed?

Good luck with whatever you do. i'll be generally ignoring from now. i know your political leanings my dear, don't worry. i understand your source of problem more perfectly now.

can deny it but it won't change the fact.

That was a letter written by the affected victims and the other attached is the minutes of a meeting held in Jos in 2010.

All are in public place.

The minutes shows the plan of all the genocide against Christians in Nigeria.

In fact, many victims have come out to say they are to one who cried to US for help as Nigeria government is compromised already.

Again, your denial won't erase the fact but you rely on the same government you're defending.

Meanwhile, doesn't your Security Adviser once called for the same US intervention against insecurity?

Just continue your defense because of your stomach.
