Christians are being killed in Nigeria under President Tinubu's watch

They are killing Christians in Nigeria, and the Nigerian leaders are trying to deny the truth, despite the overwhelming evidence and their obvious complicity.

Right now, Christians are being targeted by radical Muslims and are being systematically killed.
We mourn the lost, but the killing continues. Gunmen enter churches, slaughtering worshippers. They invade Christian communities, commit unspeakable acts against women, and kill people with absolute impunity. And still, no arrests. We hear of cases where citizens manage to catch an attacker, only for the police to allegedly let them go.

If there is one undeniable truth, it is this: the Nigerian police force is one of the biggest issues we face. How can we call ourselves a country when the very government uses its police to oppress and intimidate the people? Police officers have become thugs for politicians. Our court system is hopelessly corrupt.

Our government and top officials are heavily populated by those who seem to believe in this act of killing people who do not share their religion. They are actively trying to silence Nigerians and deceive the world, claiming these are mere "terrorist attacks" or "farmer-herder clashes," rather than the truth: a direct, orchestrated attack on Christianity itself.

Nigerian Christians are dying. People are crying. Pastors are being killed. Members of the church are being slaughtered. The death toll is so devastating that coffins are no longer available in some areas, forcing families to bury their loved ones in simple wooden boxes. This is the tragic, heartbreaking reality.

And yet, when the conversation turns to international help, especially from nations like the United States, we hear voices arguing against intervention. They warn that America shouldn't help Nigeria because they will "steal Nigerian natural resources." These people have no idea what Nigeria has truly become because of these Islamic radicals. People are being kidnapped and killed, people are being beheaded. Young girls are being snatched from schools. They are even kidnapping boys and forcefully training them to become part of their terror groups.

The devastating truth is that our political class, the same people who brought some of this radical instability into the country, are the ones who truly enjoy the nation's wealth. The politicians share this resource wealth amongst themselves and with other countries through corrupt business dealings, while the people suffer and die.

Tell me, why have Christians been dying for so long, and nothing concrete has been done? Our court system is a mockery of justice. The government doesn't follow the law; they simply pay their way through legal challenges.

We are tired. We are living in a country where human lives are valued less than resources. The government has become a gang of thugs, taking peoples' properties and demolishing homes just to clear the way for wealthy individuals to have their way, and nothing is done to stop them.

Our current leadership, whose election was marred by allegations of rigging, are just old, power-choked men who continue to run this nation into the ground.

With the military and government heavily populated by those who share the religious ideology of the attackers, it feels as though they are actively fulfilling the will of their own religion rather than protecting all Nigerian citizens.

We are tired, heartbroken, and feel utterly betrayed. The intent is clear: to kill all the Christians until we will not be able to worship in the open.

Please, we beg you, pray for Nigeria. Pray for the Christians who are being persecuted. Pray for the light to break through this suffocating darkness.

We need the world to see the truth. We need the world to speak up.

Human rights and Christian organizations have compiled these figures, which paint a devastating picture.

Time Period	Group Tracking It	Estimated Christians Killed (Civilians)	Context
2023 (Oct 2022 - Sept 2023)	Open Doors (World Watch List)	4,118	They reported that 82% of all faith-related Christian killings globally in 2023 happened right there in Nigeria. Just insane.
2019 - 2023	Observatory of Religious Freedom in Africa (ORFA)	16,769	They broke it down and found that for every Muslim killed in violence, 2.7 Christians were murdered.
Since July 2009	Various Christian Monitoring Groups	Over 50,000	This figure stretches back to when the Islamist uprising by groups like Boko Haram really kicked off.

Side Note: Just remember, these are estimates from NGOs, not some "official" government count, and they all use slightly different ways to track the deaths.

The violence isn't everywhere, but it's absolutely brutal in key areas. It's mainly focused on the North-Central region (the Middle Belt), but also parts of the Northeast and Northwest.

The attacks are often carried out by groups like Boko Haram, ISWAP (Islamic State West Africa Province), and armed Fulani militants. While the Middle Belt often experiences clashes between Muslim herders and Christian farmers over land, all reports indicate that the attacks on Christian villages are significantly motivated by religious factors.

Region of Highest Concentration	Key States Getting Hammered	Who's Attacking
North-Central (Middle Belt)	Plateau, Kaduna, Benue, Nasarawa, Kogi	Armed Fulani Militias (Herdsmen), bandits, and other terror groups.
North-East	Borno, Yobe, Adamawa	Boko Haram and ISWAP.
North-West	Kaduna, Zamfara	Bandits, who focus on kidnapping and straight-up violence.

Plateau State: This state has been hit so hard. Over the 2023 Christmas Eve weekend, for example, attacks across Christian villages reportedly killed between 140 and 190 people. Just heartbreaking.

Kaduna State: Violence is constant here, including the burning of residences belonging to priests and seminarians, plus attacks in southern Christian villages.

Benue State: Has seen so many massacres of predominantly Christian farmers, which are usually blamed on armed herders.

I know people always say things like America has a motive for helping any country, but how do you reconcile them helping without getting something? I mean, it's politics. And just so you know, Nigeria is not a working country at the moment. So people who say they will scatter the country do not understand that our leaders have already scattered it. Now what they are doing is killing Christians to make it an all-Muslim country. Christians are under attack. People are crying and dying. Spread the word and pray for Nigeria. If we protest we get arrested and put in jail. They are gradually taking away free speech and the situation is deeply sad. The late President Buhari still has people he put in prison for protesting during the EndSARS movement. President Tinubu keeps borrowing money and the senate keeps approving but nothing is being done. I can't even go on. I need to stop here; please pray for Nigeria.
