These Genocide Claims represent dangerous foreign propaganda that ignores complex realities. Both Christians and Muslims suffer equally from terrorism, banditry and resource conflicts — recent mosque attacks prove terrorists target all faiths indiscriminately. Nigeria's security leadership is predominantly Christian, making genocide accusations absurd. The violence stems from poverty, land disputes and climate change, not religious persecution. These false narratives threaten to deepen divisions and embolden terrorists by restricting Nigeria's access to defensive weapons through misguided sanctions.
Nigeria faces a systematic campaign of Christian extermination that demands immediate international intervention. Over 52,000 Christians have been slaughtered since 2009, with more than 20,000 churches and Christian schools destroyed by Islamist militants like Boko Haram and Fulani extremists. The Nigerian government's inaction amounts to complicity — officials consistently ignore pleas for protection and even order troops to stand down during attacks. This isn't random violence but targeted genocide, with 82% of Christians murders worldwide occurring in Nigeria alone.
