All eyes continue to be on the humanitarian crisis precipitated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the world pulls together to give much-needed aid; at the same time, the world continues to ignore the ongoing genocide against Christians by Muslims in Nigeria. It hasn’t let up; nor will it, as jihadists will keep on spreading the sharia by the sword.
“Terrorists still killing our members, 170 churches remain shut – Northeast Church,” by Jim Ochetenwu, Daily Post, April 2, 2022:
An indigenous Christian denomination based in the North East, Ekklesiyar Yan’uwa a Nigeria (EYN), has said its church buildings are still being attacked and members killed despite the Federal Government’s claim that it has uncovered sponsors of insurgency.
The denomination, otherwise called Church of the Brethren in Nigeria, said during its annual general meeting at the church headquarters in Kwarhi, Adamawa State, that insecurity is worsening and members of the church continue to be killed by terrorists.
President of the EYN, Rev Joel Stephen Billi, said in his address at the 75th Majalisa at the weekend that security around the country has never been in such a sorry state as now.

According to Critical Theory, Christianity is associated with white people/colonialism and must be subjected to “repressive tolerance”. The narrative must be that BROWN “racial facial” Muslims and hence their “best” intellectual product, Islam, must be protected at ALL and ANY costs. Nothing racist about that right?
