This interview is fascinating on many levels:
- The perspective of these persecuted Nigerian Christians.
- How they are martyred like in ancient times and do not deny their faith.
- How they are ignored by the West.
- How at peace they seem, despite living through horror and being ignored.
- The contrast between the Christians and the Muslims.
- The contrast between Boko Haram and ISIS, etc.

I saw this interview last night. I felt really bad for this guy. A very courageous individual, IMHO.

The perspective of these persecuted Nigerian Christians.
How they are martyred like in ancient times and do not deny their faith.
How they are ignored by the West.
How at peace they seem, despite living through horror and being ignored.
The contrast between the Christians and the Muslims.
The contrast between Boko Haram and ISIS, etc.=================================================
According to Google, Nigeria is 50% Muslim and 40% Christian. It's a no-win for everyone. We have a Nigerian priest in our parish.
Also, I went to a different Church today and sat in front of a man who is also Nigerian. We got to chatting. I told him about his fellow Nigerian being a priest not 10 minutes away from where we were. I hope he looks Father up one of these days.
It's a HORRIBLE situation for everyone, ESPECIALLY the children. It's HELL to grow up in civil war. Our Nigerian priest worries about his mother.

What is to stop the devout Muslims of Boko Haram from getting hold of nearby Ebola virus samples, infecting a volunteer “martyr,” and putting him on a plane to America?
Ebola is viable in liquids for a long time, and how hard would it be to come by a hazmat disposal bag in the hot-zone next door to Nigeria?
