Christian Genocide in Nigeria: On-the-Ground Report from Alex Barbir

Escalating Violence Against Christians in Nigeria

• ⚠️ The genocide against Christians in Nigeria is escalating, with the world's attention diverted to other global events.
• 💔 Alex Barbir of Building Zion reports that the situation is worsening, not improving, despite temporary media attention.
• 💔 He recently attended a funeral in Kuru, Plateau State, where seven Christians were killed.

Devastation and Displacement

• 🏠 Barbir visited Jato Aka in Kwande, an area untouched by the Nigerian government, where thousands have been killed and displaced.
• 🏚️ Villages are left desolate, with homes burned and ancestral lands forcibly taken over by Fulani terrorists.
• 🌾 Even attempts to return and farm result in death, as exemplified by a man killed for trying to cultivate land on his ancestral home.

Denial and Misinformation

• 🗣️ Many, including some Nigerian government officials and Christian leaders, are downplaying or outright rejecting the notion of genocide.
• 🚫 They claim the violence is due to 'general insecurity' rather than being religiously or ethnically motivated.
• ❓ Barbir counters this by asking how many Fulani people have been killed or had their villages burned, highlighting that the attacks are specifically targeting Christian communities.

The Role of Fulani Militias

• 🎯 The primary perpetrators are identified as Fulani terrorists and militias, not official terrorist groups like Boko Haram or ISWAP.
• ⚔️ These militias are responsible for widespread massacres, burning, and brutal killings across Nigeria, targeting Christians specifically.
• 🌍 Barbir pleads with the US government and international communities to recognize the Fulani terrorists as the main threat to Christians.

Call to Action and Christian Duty

• 📢 There is a desperate need for attention, action, international pressure, and funding to address the crisis.
• ✝️ Christians are called to stand up for justice, the oppressed, and the needy, as this is an integral part of their faith.
• 🤝 The church is urged to pray, give, minister, share the gospel, and dish out justice, fulfilling the purpose for which governments were instituted.
• 🚨 The violence is not slowing down; recent events include the kidnapping of 150 Christian students in Kaduna and constant attacks in various states.
