THE SILENT GENOCIDE
📋THE BOTTOM LINE: KEY TAKEAWAYS
1. The Numbers Are Real
60,000+ Christians killed in Nigeria since 2009. Multiple independent sources verify. This is not exaggeration or propaganda.
2. This Is Religious Persecution
Christians are killed at 6.5 times the rate of Muslims in affected regions. Attacks target churches, clergy, and Christian holidays. This isn’t “farmer-herder conflict”—it’s genocide.
3. It Meets the Legal Definition of Genocide
Systematic killing, displacement, and destruction of a religious group. All criteria under the 1948 Genocide Convention are met.
4. The Silence Is Deliberate
Media, governments, and international bodies avoid this story because it’s politically inconvenient. Victims are Christian, perpetrators are Muslim, implicated government is a Western ally.
5. It’s Getting Worse
2025 is on track to be the deadliest year. Violence is accelerating and expanding geographically. Without intervention, this will continue.
6. Solutions Exist
International pressure, sanctions, protection for communities, prosecution of perpetrators. But only if the world knows and cares.
❓ WHY THIS MATTERS TO YOU
Even if you’re not Christian. Even if you’ve never been to Nigeria. Even if you don’t know anyone affected. This matters because:
Selective Outrage Erodes All Justice
When we only care about atrocities that fit our political narratives, we abandon any claim to moral consistency. Either human rights matter universally, or they don’t matter at all.
Precedent Is Dangerous
When the world allows 60,000 people to be systematically killed without consequence, it sets a precedent. It signals that some lives matter less. That some genocides are acceptable.
Silence Enables Evil
Every genocide in history succeeded because good people stayed silent. The Holocaust. Rwanda. Cambodia. The pattern is always the same: atrocity occurs, world looks away, evil wins.
Regional Instability Affects Everyone
Nigeria is Africa’s most populous nation and largest economy. Its destabilization affects global security, economy, migration patterns. This isn’t just a Nigerian problem.
THE FINAL QUESTION
60,000+ people are dead. The killing continues. The world stays silent.
Will you stay silent too?
