“Is the Nigerian government complicit in these attacks?”
Either that, or it’s absolutely useless and powerless. There isn’t a third alternative.
“Fulani Militants Kill 142 People In Deadly Attacks Across Central Nigeria,” International Christian Concern, April 28, 2022:
04/28/2022 Nigeria (International Christian Concern) – On April 10, armed groups of radicalized Muslim Fulani herdsmen simultaneously attacked an estimated ten villages in Nigeria’s central Plateau state.
One hundred forty-two people were killed in the attacks, with an estimated 3,000 now displaced from their homes due to the violence. Of the nearly 70 people abducted, most were women and girls.
Survivors of the attacks stated that the militants arrived in large numbers riding on motorcycles just as people were preparing their farmlands for the rainy season. In addition to killing and abducting villagers, they burned down at least 100 homes, destroyed farmlands, looted barns, and stole livestock….
The targeted communities were settled by Christians and Muslims, and most of the victims of the attack seemed to be the Christian farmers in those communities.
The Fulani, who are majority Muslim, are the world’s largest nomadic ethnic group. While most Fulani live at peace with their neighbors, Militant Fulani, having been radicalized by extreme Islam, have emerged from their people group with Jihadist intent….
“Christian communities in the Middle Belt of Nigeria have effectively suffered a twenty-yearlong genocide,” said ICC President Jeff King….Simply put, the time for cheap talk and platitudes is over. The world is waking up and asking, “Is the Nigerian government complicit in these attacks.” Time will tell, but for this long-time watcher, the decision is in.

The violent and vicious Muslims who in their murderous persecution of Christians aren’t really going to get away with their destruction of Christians. As the apostle Paul had written each individual Christian is actually, in the View of God, a temple of God. For to Christians, it is written in the Bible “Don’t you know that that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? If anyone destroys God’s Temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.” First Corinthians 3:16,17. [N.I.V.] As in “A man reaps what he sows.” Galatians 6:7.

Nigeria: Muslims murder 142 people in jihad massacres in ten villages
…………
These *poor people*. The bloody Jihad in Nigeria proceeds apace–and few in the West even learn about it.
Mr X says
Nigeria should go for a partition on religious lines before it is too late for the christians.

Nigerian authorities *want* it to be too late for Christians. This was true dating back to Biafra’s bid for freedom back in the 1960s.
Andrew Blackadder says
Im sure once the Pope hears all about this slaughtering of his flack he will stand up and speak out……
Wont he?.
Martyman39 says
Of course. He will rant and rave and lead the charge against this outrage as he usually does. Amnesty, CNN and the New York Times will stop condemning Israel and also express their indignation as they usually do

Does anyone remember when Trump brought Buhari to the White House lawn, and made a beautiful speech to him? It’s probably still in the White House.gov webpage.
