Did you hear about the global persecution of Christians? Of course you didn’t: the only time the legacy media takes the time out from endlessly reporting far more important events, like the fact that a celebrity said something about men in dresses, is to loftily inform us that the war on Christianity is all in our fevered, “right-wing” imaginations.

Just as they ignore the fact that the reported rises in “hate crimes” are overwhelmingly directed against Jews, while shrieking about an imaginary “noose” in a race-car driver’s garage, or a (very likely false) report that someone’s hijab was pulled off.

I’m sure you’ve heard plenty of stories detailing the malnutrition and starvation of hundreds of millions due to coronavirus lockdowns, the ongoing horrors of Communist China, the massive increase in trafficking, domestic abuse, addiction, and suicide due to lockdowns, and the increasing persecution of Christians around the world.

In case you didn’t see the extensive one or two articles published on such topics each month – buried at the bottom of webpages below a hundred articles detailing how the president is a Nazi and how the ‘Rona is lurking out your door – here’s a peek inside Nigeria, where the brutal mass murder of Christians has become the status quo.

Just like the campaign of brutal slaughter being waged against South Africa’s white farmers, the mass-slaughter of Nigerian Christians is just another “right-wing conspiracy theory”. Just ignore all those dead Nigerian Christians.

Funerals like these are all-too-common for Nigeria’s Christians. The BFD.

Since 2009, largely in the north of the country, Islamists have murdered 34,400 Christians and 20,000 cultural Muslims who often maintain animistic traditional beliefs and practices. These Islamists largely come from the Fulani people group and many are members with the group Boko Haram.

In 2020 alone, 2,200 Christians were slaughtered – oftentimes with entire villages being burned, raped, and hacked to pieces.

Consider this story from earlier this year in the village of Gonan Rogo:

“Terrorists killed at least 20 that evening as they went from house to house yelling ‘Allahu Akbar’ along the way. They also put a bullet in the head of a 3-month-old and hacked a 6-year-old to death. We don’t know their names. We do know the name of a 14-year-old girl who was murdered along with her grandparents. Her name was Blessing.”

I tried to locate footage to give a visual on this horror, but 90% of it is too disturbing to post here.

Of course, the Nigerian government is being as useful as the international media.

The government does little to help, maintaining troops in the region, but instructing them to flee when attacked and creating propaganda denying the attacks in order to appear useful without actually doing anything.

Even worse is the fact that President Buhari is an Islamist himself, obviously trying to create an Islamic caliphate in the nation by stacking the government with Muslims and breaking the constitution. He’s also a member of the “Miyatti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria,” which directly supports the nomadic Fulani herdsmen that often attack villages.

Christmas is shaping up to be a particularly bloody season this year, with a string of attacks anticipated in the coming weeks. 300 kids were just taken from a school recently, and attacks on farms and villages continue to ramp up.

Last year, Boko Haram celebrated Christmas Day by beheading 11 Christians on video[…]

Now the question: What can we do to stop it? There are a few things[…]

Pressure our elected officials endlessly over this matter.

Which is as likely to be as useful as asking your local council to fix the roads instead of blithering about an imaginary “climate emergency”. Like British police and social workers, they’re too terrified of being called “Islamophobic” to actually bring themselves to criticise “a violent ideology hellbent on hacking 3-month-olds and raping girls”.

Another thing you can do is support ministries working in Nigeria. Here is a list, and additional ministries can be found with some research.
