Islamization in full swing. In 100 years, the area where these parishes were will be considered Islamic land, and non-Muslim authorities will all acknowledge that without a second thought. This is how Egypt, Syria, and the rest of the Middle East became what they are today.
“Over 15 Catholic parishes close amid ongoing violence against Christians in Nigeria,” by Abah Anthony John, CNA, November 8, 2024:
Bishop Wilfred Chikpa Anagbe of the Diocese of Makurdi in Nigeria has called for action to address escalating insecurity in Nigeria’s Benue State, which has led to the closure of over 15 parishes in his diocese.
In an interview with ACI Africa, CNA’s news partner in Africa, during the seventh International Theological Conference organized by the Institute of Consecrated Life in Africa, Anagbe urged the Nigerian government to prioritize security to restore hope and enable displaced persons to return to their ancestral homes.
“Benue state is like the epicenter of what is happening. In my Diocese of Makurdi, I have lost about 14 to 15 parishes now,” the bishop said.
“When I mean parishes, some parishes have about 20 ‘outstations,’ some have about 15. It covers almost 20-25 kilometers. So, the demography of the state and the diocese is shrinking.”
Anagbe clarified that the closure of parishes owing to insecurity is also being witnessed in the Otukpo Diocese as well as in the Katsina-Ala Diocese. Both are located in embattled areas of Nigeria.
The bishop expressed concern about the constant reports of killings and kidnappings in the country, emphasizing the role of the Nigerian government to protect lives and property.
“Every day we must hear about killings and kidnappings. And it is not for the people to defend themselves because the protection of lives and properties is in the hands of the government,” the Catholic leader explained….
Anagbe expressed frustration at what he described as a lack of decisive action from the government.
“The protection of lives and properties is in the hands of the government, yet this responsibility has been neglected,” he said, arguing that Nigeria’s capacity for peacekeeping in other nations — such as Sierra Leone and Liberia — demonstrates that the government could resolve the crisis if it chose to.
“You can’t tell me these bandits are beyond the Nigerian army or the police,” Anagbe said….

Because the government, the kidnappers, the arsonists, the rapists and the murderers are all **mozlum.**
The government is in agreement with what the others are doing; that is the reason nothing is done to stop it.
And the government is well-aware that the Christians have no way of defending themselves. It makes the destruction and demonic actions of kidnapping, raping, and murdering, easy-peasy.

Around the world the Leftist governments have feared and now realize they cannot succeed in fighting the numerically superior and armed invaders they foolishly allowed inn their nations. Jihadist attack will soon overcome all of the G20 nations.
You elect a majority of childless politicians . They don’t have any skin in the game and no progeny to fight for….they are not invested in any families future. So to avoid assassination thry only want to [please the invaders.

At least some of those ruling, want mozlum hordes to finish off the rest of us who value Truth and life. They have no clue that they are also targets for the mozlum madness.

MD Anthony: good points. However, there are some Leftist politicians such as Trudeau, who do have kids, yet who believe that sucking up to Islam will somehow make themselves immune to persecution from Muslim supremacists.

In for a surprise when that thought suddenly faces reality that being used to achieve a goal does not always mean you live.

Nigeria: Over 15 Catholic parishes close amid ongoing jihad violence against Christians
………………………………………..
And of course the Nigerian government, as noted, will do nothing to protect its Christian citizens.
James Lincoln says
Today’s Nigeria:
An islamic government “allowing” jihad attacks against Christians.
That’s why there is the genocide of Nigerian Christians.
Only an outside force can stop this – with none on the horizon…
OLD GUY says
Islam is producing a religious war against Christians world wide. The migration of young islamic men into Christian and Jewish countries is nothing short of a military invasion and urban warfare. Islamic mosque teach and promote terrorist and violence against others who do not follow islamic teachings.

All true, Old Guy.
