The painful plight of Nothern Christians under Buhari by DefHQ: 1:37pm On Jun 20, 2021 |
Amidst the violence that is gripping Nigeria, the country’s Christians are being targeted by the terrorist groups Boko Haram, iswap and herdsmen, while Buhari and the rest of the world is largely ignoring the issue. Christians are being singled out for elimination by Boko Haram and Fulani tribesmen. So far since the last five years, the number of christians killed has reached over 30,000. Last month, five international aid workers were killed by terrorists from the Islamic State West African Province (ISWAP), more commonly known as Boko Haram. A video of the killings was released by the Islamist group as a warning to “all those being used by infidels to convert Muslims to Christianity.” While the world has been aware of these atrocities, not much has been done about it. The Office of the Prosecutor looked into six cases wherein Boko Haram had committed crimes against humanity and two cases where such crimes were committed by the Nigerian security forces. Attacking and abducting women and girls has been part of the modus operandi of Boko Haram and bandits. They regularly subject women and girls to physical and mental abuse, rape and sexual violence, forced labor, and more. The Muslim Fulani tribesmen, mostly herders, continue their own brand of genocide against Christian farmers and anyone who stands in their way in central Nigeria, also known as the “Middle Belt.” With climate change, the herders are losing much of their traditional grazing lands. So, they have been taking land by force. According to a report titled “Nigeria: Unfolding Genocide?“ and prepared for the U.K.’s Parliament, thousands have been killed by the Fulani and many more have been displaced by the violence. It is estimated that between two and three million people have been displaced due to Boko Haram and Fulani tribesmen attacks. It has been reported that the number of Christians killed in Nigeria has topped 60,000 in the last 15 years. Former Virginia Congressman Frank Wolf has blasted U.S. efforts in Nigeria to date. He is pushing hard for the creation of a special envoy to investigate the killings which he considers genocide. He said he was appalled “for America to see genocide and not do anything about it.” But The Nigerian government is denying the occurrence of such attacks. According to a statement by Garba Shehu, the spokesman for President Muhammadu Buhari, the “false allegations of persecution of Christians” are “a most misleading campaign.”

OP, this shouldn't be news to you because it is written, "For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.(Romans 8:36), and these signs must happen before the coming of our Lord and Savior |

DefHQ:Oga, serving Jesus is very hard, especially in the midst of persecution. When Jesus said pray for your enemies and turn the other cheek when someone slaps you do you think it would be a ride in the park....? So my brother, endure the persecution ![]() |

Jesus while on earth had no time for fun, his last days were torture filled, he didn't complain because he knew the script, REMEMBER THIS - IN ALL THINGS GIVE THANKS TO GOD. He also told us Christians will be persecuted for serving God.. Mind you, there's no scripture that says willingly surrender urlife to criminals, if they bring the fight to u you defend urself, n glorify God for defeating ur enemies just as he aided Israelites in battle.. |

You see why some whites consider you sub-humans as far as reasoning is concerned. Muslims and Christians are killed daily in this country (with the former killed even more) The weapons being used by this mass murderers are made in Europe/Americas/China etc. Yet to deflect your sub-human reasoning capacity you are made to see the problem in a petty tribal/religious prism. But you never question or pressure the suppliers of these arms to Boko haram, herdsmen, bandits or whatever morphology you use to describe these terrorists. Well let's keep it up, accusing ourselves or our governments or whatever we find to blame (but ourselves) while our resources (human and natural) keep on leaving our continent unhindered. Doesn't all these cause you to ponder? |
