Christians are actually killed across the north central states especially in Benue and Plateau but that doesn't mean the aim of the killings is jihad. Communities under attack are mostly remote villages affected by open grazing and cattle rearing. Jihad is a process of Islamic state capture also aimed at imposing Sharia laws on the state. What happened in Mali recently can be termed a jihad because the jihadists were seen marching towards the state capital where they dislodged the minister of defense. Such scenes have never been recorded in Nigeria as bandits only hide in the bushes and not making any move towards any state capital. So it safe to say that there is no jihad in Nigeria except threats from groups like BokoHaram

The reason why we have this city boys movement is because terrorists are only operating in the villages for now. The city boys don't care about the plight of villagers instead they are already campaigning for 2027. What if the table turns and the terrorists start targeting cities? The city boys should instead of campaigning mobilize forces to fight against terrorism now that is hasn't gotten to them. They should procure drones and missiles to dislodge this terrorists occupying villages now that there is time. Remember that BokoHaram were only in Borno bushes but now they are in parts of Kwara and Niger. Those states were nonchalant until it got to them. Bandits are almost in all middle belt states currently. A stitch in time saves nine

... Thanks for the info... Thumbs up.. Are you saying that there's no cure for leprosy or what
?

there is a cure but higher cases of relapse are recorded

YoungLionken:
Na wa o! These terrorists just dey chop Nigerian senior military officers, exactly just as Israel dey do Iran. Just last year to this year so far, these Islamic terrorists have terminated top Nigerian military coordinators. Attacking/chasing/killing soldiers right from their (our)bases, and each base formation contains at least a hundred soldiers in it. No wonder these terror murdas are always seen in our military outfit..

Nigerians made their terrible mistake in modern history voting the APCheat into power...

how sure are you about the number?

It is no longer news that BokoHaram now attacks military bases. They have attacked 6 military bases in 2 months killing a good number of Nigerian soldiers so far. This number is 10 times higher than the number of soldiers both US and Israel have lost in Iran war. Soldiers including brigadier general and lieutenants lost in ambush and attacks from bandits are over 50 in just 2026 alone. If a state of emergency is not declared by the military themselves, it will only get worse because these terrorists are fighting asymmetrically not conventionally. In asymmetric warfare, the enemies don't give you locations and targets to strike.

CodeTemplarr:
They already do. In fact the top soldiers are largely Iswap terrorists in uniforms. Even the executive.

It hasn't gotten to this but if care is not taken, we will get there

If nothing is done to curtail ISWAP now that they are few, a time will come when they will outnumber Nigerian soldiers by 3 to 1. When such happens, Afghanistan experience won't be far from Nigeria. The military should stop playing politics, avoid corruption then focus on security and intelligence before it is too late

Recently, ISWAP has been focusing on military formations. This is something that we all should be worried about because an attack on a country's military is to undermine the sovereignity of that country. ISWAP is a west African version of Isis and they are focused on Islamization.

The rate at which Banditry is growing in the north, they will outnumber Nigerian soldiers at the ration of 20:1 ie 20 bandits to 1 Nigerian soldier. Nigeria is heading the Afghanistan way if this government refuses to fund state police before 2030. Criminality in Nigeria is growing at an exponential rate and they are recruiting daily

The problem with black people is their inability to make use of their senses at the right moment. I am so shocked that the disgraced Reno Omokri still has his post making it to front page on nairaland. Despite all the evidences on ground to show that this is a double faced figure, yet some people for which ever reasons best known to them still push his narratives for us to read here. A man whose entire post and comments are opposite of what he said just few years ago is still celebrated in Nigeria? This has shown the species of people living in this country and why this country will remain backwards even in the next 1000 years

EKONGKING:
I dont think , even Tinubu under the threat of exile can do anything as Nigerian security forces are deeply compromised .

He can change top generals and read riot act and thats where it will end . Years of poor Professionalism and Political manipulation has completely eroded Nigerian Armed forces along with un wanted production of kids , where parents cannot even afford to feed their children is what is leading to it. as these kids join terrorists , as they get food to feed their belly .

Nigerian problems are long term structural issues , which any politician and its people have a clue except shouting , we are Giant of Africa only in terms of uselessness .

Great point, bro

While the sponsors of terrorism are highly united and speaking with one voice, the foolish victims are highly divided. This is not strange as it's the cause of nature. When you watch wild life series, you will see how united the flesh devouring beasts like lions are when they launch a hunt while the prey even those with defensive horns scatter. They can never unite against their killers because if they do, the lion will starve to death. It's just nature at play here. Humans are also animals just a bit higher. The terrorists can be likened to the lions while the people killed are the prey who lack wisdom. The terrorists are blood sucking beasts sent from the pit of hell hence their wisdom and unity unmatches their prey who are dumb and foolish by nature. All the comments I have read so far from the sponsors of this terrorism since the threatened American forces invasion show how strong their unity is while some of the so called Christians destined as food for the terrorists even made videos denying the genocide

This is a wake up call to humanitarian organisations especially in Europe

gidgiddy:
Individuals like this are an example of why Nigeria is heading no where. Freedom to protest is an important part of any true democracy. Its not about if the protest achieves anything, or if the turnout is high or low. It is about freedom of expression. But here you have someone who is fully supporting the authorities to trample on the constitutional right of people to protest by using brute force to stop it. In other words, he is supporting a crime

How we ended up in the same country with people like this is a tragedy

I am only predicting this event

Sowere has never achieved anything from organizing a protest and will not this time. I am predicting this event not as if am against their movement. The protest to release Nnamdi Kanu has failed already just like every past protest under APC failed. There will be extremely low turnout of protesters and the protest will go unnoticed. Even if people eventually turn up for the protest, there will be use of brutal force against them. If I were in the shoes of IPOB leadership, another person should be elected as the overall head because Nnamdi Kanu is gone forever.

I will actually admit that the teachings I received while growing up in the church saved my life and I know thousands of others will also confess to this. While growing up in the church, we were taught to abstain from all forms of sexual immortality, alcoholism, smoking and other vices. The only reason they gave us was that God will burn sinners in hell. As I advanced in age, I then realized the health consequences and dangers of these practices. I met children who were orphaned because their parents died of HIV/AIDS. I met young people battling untreatable STDs with their lives almost ruined. I saw people die from lung cancer as a result of dangerous smoking habits. Men battling with alcohol addictions to the extent that they can't provide for their families. I didn't know that those vices were we warned of will eventually destroy lives here on the earth, I was only afraid of hell but now I can tell you that I live healthy, happy and fulfilled

As a self styled security expert, I can sincerely tell you that most of these communities sacked by Fulani militia today actually had enough time to develop and also create their own security network but they failed to do so. A particular community suffering same fate in Anambra state actually raised about 40 million from their indigenes in diaspora and they kicked out the bandits terrorizing the area using local security and intelligence. Does it mean that all these years, the rest of the communities struggling with bandits attacks couldn't raise children who are educated and can represent them in government, police, military etc. Moreover, If those communities weren't idle from the outset, bandits couldn't set up strong holds there. If they were into any form of production or doing something meaningful to support the economy, they must have attracted government presence there. Even foreign investors must have set up structures there if they have actually invested in their communities themselves. It baffles me how people will choose to live nonchalantly and idle now Fulani militia are replacing them with cows.

Someone once told me that vote buying is a form of occultic practice carried out by demonic politicians but I dismissed such claims immediately. But most of these votes don't actually count as elections are usually manipulated by the staff in charge so why do they still need to buy votes? I still didn't see any logic in the question. I felt politicians were only desperate to get more votes but over the years, I observed that over 300 people can be killed in a community just in a day. Ever since vote buying became a norm, killings have also become a norm. Most of those communities that participate in vote buying also participate and become victims of blood letting. When an amount as low as 1k is giving in exchange of a vote, the individual life's value also become as cheap as 1k. They can be slaughtered at anytime and day without any intervention from anywhere. This is merely a conspiracy theory. The reality here is that no competent politician will need to buy votes to win an election. Since the people are not after competence but after their stomach, they will end up voting who cannot handle security situations and who they can't hold accountable. Individuals especially those who claim that their community is more of Christians should stop participating in vote buying. They should start voting who they can hold accountable so that one chapter of this Christian genocide claims will be closed.

Nigeria is at war but the people are living in denial because of media cover-ups. The media is trying so hard to make Nigerians believe that there is relative peace and stability but the reverse is the case. Earlier this year, I wrote an article here on nairaland warning that Nigeria will face serious security challenges in the nearest future. I warned that with the state of Emergency declared in the neighbouring states of Mali and Niger, insurgents will move to a safer ground. They will migrate to a region where there is a more docile government with lesser security architecture and intelligence. BokoHaram as of 2014 was attacking parks, schools and markets but the strategy has changed. They now channel their energy towards military bases and formations in towns and villages. This strategy of attacks on military infrastructure is how Israel and advanced countries wage war on enemy countries. During the Israel-Iran war that lasted for 12 days, Israel targetted Iran's military infrastructure and nuclear sites razing them to dust. Now, you can see that BokoHaram is waging war on Nigeria and they are following international law. They are driven by intelligence and they follow war protocols. A target on military formations other than churches and markets is a pure war situation. Therefore, the Nigerian military should mobilize for a real war situation because this is beyond banditry and kidnapping as potrayed by the media and government officials.

It's very obvious that the killings in Nigeria so far are mostly restricted to remote villages which are usually very far from the state capitals. 98% of the victims of insecurity are vulnerable women and children in typical villages who barely have access to technology and the internet. This has led to these attacks being underreported and the casualty figures undercalculated. While the villages are burning down, the cities are still bubbling with their daily businesses amidst tight security. Because of this, most people in the cities have refused to lend their voices or notice the attrocities committed by the marauding militia. This is just history simply repeating itself. Remember that while BokoHaram was attacking Churches, people who worship in the mosques pretended that they haven't heard about such attacks. If Nigerians who have access to the internet remain mute because these events are only occuring in remote villages, the future might take them unawares

According to the book of Acts 1:7(KJV), the date and time that rapture will occur shouldn't be your concern. Your concern on this earth is to fulfill the purpose of your calling, the reason why you were created. You shouldn't be idly sitting waiting for rapture. You should be busy with your career, talent, business and education. You should be investing in yourself as your work orientation should focus more on how to impact your generation. While you are busy fulfilling purpose, rapture should catch up with you. You shouldn't be the one catching up with rapture. People are so idle and empty in Africa, that's why they are all waiting to migrate to heaven where they will continue their idleness. Heaven is for purpose fulfilling beings not for the idle

Someone who has been protesting since the 1980s and haven't seen any positive changes should either change strategy or rest. It's not a new thing that Sowore has been agitating against bad leadership and exposing corruption, but for how long can he continue this way without getting any result? The truth is that an average Nigerian has no problem with corruption or bad leadership. An average Nigerian only has problems with those who are not members or loyal to his religious organization. You can see protest against Israel or heavy mob action against blasphemy but you can't see any protest against looting or even bandit/BokoHaram attacks. 50 people will rather prefer to be shot in a mosque as long as the shooting is carried out by an Islamic terrorist like Bello Turji or bandits and not an Igbo man or a Christian. When it comes to corruption, Nigerians only have issue when the corrupt is from another religious group or someone not loyal to the members or leaders for their religious group. We saw a campaign video in 2022 where a man was telling his listeners that it's better to choose a corrupt Muslim as president over a Christian. So, one could be wondering what Sowere intends to achieve in such a country. He should better find his way back to America where he can spend quality time with his wife. Mind you, the percentage of those who are not religious bigots is not up to 0.02%

The latest attacks in Northeast Nigeria is not carried out by BokoHaram, rather ISWAP is responsible. What is ISWAP? You can get the full definition from chatGPT but my concern here is to expose how their operations started in Nigeria. This terrorist group was only present in the middle East especially in parts of Syria. The onslaught they received from joint team operations including that of USA forced them to escape from the middle East. As we all know, they can't give up on terrorism so their members who survived the onslaught started relocating to West Africa which is a more safer ground due to lack of stable government, corruption and poverty. Currently, Israel has encircled Gaza. The military raid is massive and Hamas terrorists will soon start escaping. Once they escape from middle East, there next safe heaven will be west Africa. What it means is that a country like Nigeria with porous borders and weak security network will be welcoming a new terrorist group. Now, the real threat here is that Hamas has the capabilities of making ballistic missiles, rockets and explosives unlike BokoHaram that only rely on guns and IEDs. So the Nigerian army should start getting ready for air defense systems over their military bases because it's going to be a hot season in coming years.

I have been monitoring the social media account of the self acclaimed commander of BLA, 'Gentle de Yahoo'. I first saw his video around 2022 where he claimed that he will fight the Nigerian state with his last blood. He had a solid online presence from 2023 till early months of 2025 where he always tag the Nigerian Defense Headquarters' Facebook page. In one of his post, he claimed to have killed 70 soldiers in a day and tagged the Nigerian army to confirm that their soldiers were dead. In 2024, the military raided his camp but he was no where to be found. He later posted a video showing a captured Airforce operative who was among those that raided his camp few weeks after the raid. While he appeared to be the commander of BLA, he was not the leader of the group as he gives respect to his superior while always making any live broadcast. In 2025, he was finally unmasked as a serial killer who also eats human flesh. The revelation and audio leaks from people of his community in Okigwe shows that Gentle was only but a criminal who took advantage of the #EndSars protest to break into police armory and steal weapons. His late father was a notorious armed robber. He deceived his followers into believing that he was a Biafran agitator but in the real sense, he was a lunatic thirsty for blood. I will return to complete the article when the military releases a statement about his death or arrest. As for now, they are mere rumors

From my careful study of how bandits operate in Nigeria, it has appeared that although these guys are illiterates yet they outsmart the security agencies. Firstly, the person they flaunt on social media as their commander is a nobody. By doing so, the security agencies mobilize all their resources against the so called commander, while their real command chain remains intact. Secondly, they employ guerilla tactics. This makes it easier to launch surprise attacks on the security agencies while they escape safely with little or no casualties. Thirdly, their recruitment process is better than that of the security agencies. While the security agencies employ people who are looking for salary work, these guys employ the real rugged fighters who are tasty for blood

So we were analyzing this issue of all Nigerian past and present leaders running to London hospitals whenever they fall sick instead of getting treated in Asorock or any government hospitals built and equipped by them and we discovered that these guys may not have common sense actually. The funniest part of it is that the nurse who may be injecting them in that London hospital may be one of the victims of #endSars protest or someone who fled the country like DjSwitch. Such nurse could easily administer a killer overdose to retaliate. In summary, lack of common sense may be what is fully at play here
