Nigeria's Christians beg Trump for help before they are wiped out as bodies pile up and villages disappear
The Daily Mail ^ | 16 Nov 2025 | JAMES REINL

Nigeria's Christians are being pushed to the brink of extinction - and could be wiped off the map within two generations without urgent international intervention.

That's the chilling warning from Emeka Umeagbalasi, the outspoken founder of Nigeria's International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law (Intersociety). And he's not mincing his words.

The veteran activist says a silent, systematic genocide has swept Africa's most populous nation for nearly two decades - a 'long-running, coordinated campaign' of killings, kidnappings and church burnings carried out mostly by Islamist militants and enabled by the Nigerian state itself.

'If you look at the clear-cut definition of genocide, it fits the present reality on the ground in Nigeria,' he said in an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail.

'Fulani jihadists have infiltrated or laid siege on 35 of the 36 states. Nigeria is now under siege.'

Umeagbalasi's message is stark: millions of Nigerian Christians live each day in fear of slaughter.

Many of the country's 109 million Christians - nearly half the nation's population - endure harassment, intimidation, and the constant threat of sudden attack. And, he says, it's getting worse.

His warning comes as armed men, believed to be militant Fulani herders, stormed farming villages on the Plateau–Kaduna border in late October.

They shot indiscriminately at villagers, torched homes and left bodies scattered across fields and courtyards. Dozens were reported killed and wounded, according to International Christian Concern.

It's the latest massacre in a grim roll call of killings that has turned Plateau State - once known for its green hills and quiet hamlets - into one of the world's most dangerous hotspots for rural Christians.

The “United Nations” is a worthless organization.

Lived in Nigeria before, mostly in the South west (Yoruba) part.
About 30 years ago.
Never experienced/saw any anti Christian discrimination, even though there were plenty of Muslims there, as well as Christians of course.
The north is overwhelmingly Muslim.
Never visited the north.

Spain, Portugal, France, and Italy are much closer. If a western nation is to help, let them do it.

Trump should nudge. But this is not for our military. We cannot use bombs to save women an children even christian women and children. We have to make the community want to protect these people.

Very appropriate tagline. A humanitarian catastrophe of the highest order, and crickets is the ‘response’ from the UN and the other globalists, communists, and islamists.

We should send an aircraft carrier to Nigeria.

Yeah.
But lets not forget they fought a bitter civil war in Nigeria in the late 60’s when the Ibo's declared independence and the mostly north dominated federal government/army invaded and conquered the Ibo “independent” government.

Sorry about their situation but it is not America’s responsibility to go around the world fighting everybody’s battles for them.

Diversity is their greatest strength.

But in all seriousness. Arm Nigerian Christians to the teeth.

YET

“On Election Day, each voter is expected to take his/her permanent voter’s card and proceed to the polling unit in his/her neighborhood where his/her name is listed on the voter’s register.”

With US pressure, Nigeria could authorize and give legal cover for a private mercenary force like Blackwater to wipe out the terrorists.

ChatGPT estimates that there are 5,000–9,000 active, full-time Islamist terrorists in Nigeria. This does not include part-time supporters who also work as farmers, herders, doctors, etc.

It may be odd that the last Christian President of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan, lost an election in 2015 to a Muslim challenger. This was the first time a Nigerian President “conceded election defeat” (according to Wikipedia). Did the Obama regime help push a Christian President out of office?

America needs an American Foreign Legion. Well supplied and supported logistically and with Aviation a Legion force could wife out these muslim killers in no time! I believe America has thousands of guys who would volunteer for such a force.
