The establishment media can’t figure out a way to blame Jews and Israel for the ongoing jihad genocide of Christians in Nigeria, so they ignore it.
“Three Christians Slain in Benue State, Central Nigeria,” Morning Star News, April 26, 2024:
ABUJA, Nigeria (Christian Daily International–Morning Star News) – Fulani herdsmen killed three Christians last week in an area of Benue state, central Nigeria, a local leader said.
Otukpo Local Government Council Chairman Alfred Omakwu said the herdsmen on Saturday (April 20) killed a Christian in Otukpo County’s Entepka village, after killing two others on Thursday (April 18) in the Entepka District’s Adoka-Icho community.
“The two were ambushed and shot by the herdsmen,” Omakwu told Christian Daily International-Morning Star News.
Suspected Fulani herdsmen also killed three Christians in attacks on Onipi village on March 19 and on Okakpoga village on March 12, Omakwu said.
The herdsmen raided nine predominantly Christian villages in March and April, including Udabi, all in Entekpa District, he said. Omakwu said Christians displaced by the attacks were camped at St. Charles Primary School, owned by the Roman Catholic Church.
Andrew Mamedu, country director of Action Aid, an international humanitarian organization, said at a press conference in Abuja that the incessant attacks on Christian communities in Benue have displaced about 1.4 million people. He called for urgent government action to curtail such assaults.
“With what is happening in Benue state, people may not have villages to retire to when they grow old,” Mamedu said in an April 20 press statement. “There is also the loss of culture that comes with it. If we fail to act now, I am afraid that by 2030 we would have lost a generation, and it may take up about 50 years to recover from it.”
The toll on the lives and livelihoods of these attacks cannot be overstated, he said.
“Families have been torn apart, homes destroyed and futures shattered,” Mamedu said. “The trauma and suffering endured by those affected are profound and long lasting, underscoring the urgent need for sustainable peace building and conflict resolution efforts.”
Nigeria remained the deadliest place in the world to follow Christ, with 4,118 people killed for their faith from Oct. 1, 2022 to Sept. 30, 2023, according to Open Doors’ 2024 World Watch List (WWL) report. More kidnappings of Christians than in any other country also took place in Nigeria, with 3,300….

“Fulani herdsmen killed three Christians”
“herdsmen on Saturday (April 20) killed a Christian ”
“after killing two others ”
ambushed and shot by the herdsmen,”
“Suspected Fulani herdsmen also killed three Christians”
“herdsmen raided nine predominantly Christian villages ”
Rabid mozlums, of which the government approves, are murdering Christians across nigeria, with the intent to eliminate all who follow Christ and who do not worship the false god of islam, nor its equally false/fake prophet.
Calling these snakes and children of satan “herdsmen, fulani, doesn’t change who and what they are.
And this: “people may not have villages to retire to when they grow old,”
This is not going to be a problem the way things are progressing. The “people” are not going to “grow old.”
May Christ return soon and rescue His followers, along with all who
support His “brothers,” everywhere.

Excellent points Somehistory but I would add that the Christians need to come together and say that enough is enough and start arming themselves. As has been shown by experience in the last ten to fifteen years, no one gives a hoot about Christians in Nigeria or any other nation. The major press does not even mention any of this so it must not be occurring.

Amusing the someone with monika ‘somehistory’ would talk about Christ returning. Christ told his followers he would return within the lifetime of his listeners. It seems either he did not know much or ‘dad’ did not send him the memo

Are you not listening Bill? Christ and our Heavenly Father talks to us if we are willing to listen through our prophets, priests, clergies, kohanim and others of the Cross as well as the Written Word.

“Monika”? I presume you meant “moniker”. And the Bible says, “but of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only”.
Most importantly, though, bill here seems to have *no* problem with Jihadists slaughtering innocent victims–not in this case, at least…

But the people ignore it as well. Who is more to blame?

A good friend (and ex doc maker) wants to report on the 000s of Myanmar Christians living without papers in northern Thailand..
The MSM, ergo the British, are introspective, so who will publish? The Christian papers? JW?
In the 60s Frederick Forsyth’s reports on the genocide of Xians in Biafra, made headlines.
OLD GUY says
Its NOT a PROBLEM, the Muslims are doing it. Nothing to see here.

The Jihad in Africa never ends–but few in the West know anything about it as it is so seldom reported here. Thank goodness for the Morningstar News for covering this atrocity.
