providing solutions to challenges of the 21st century
This past week, I discovered data revealing the horrifying scale of Christian persecution in Nigeria—35 killed daily. How did our leaders allow this normalization of mass murder? While Christians face systematic elimination, too many leaders pursue wealth and comfort. Christian youth, especially from Middle Belt and Core North: this is our fight.
Trump is right: There is genocide of Christians in Northern Nigeria. 8.8 million Northern Christians—80% of their population—are displaced from ancestral lands. Villages have been erased, renamed, and resettled by radical Islamists for over 20 years. We demand justice at the ICJ and the return of stolen lands.
They shared Nigeria without asking us — oil for them, death for us. While they divide us by tribe and faith, they dine together in the same estates. Our pain isn’t accident; it’s policy. Our dead are their deals. They kept the oil and power, gave us prayers and flags. 🇳🇬🔥
Bishop Wilfred Tsukba-Nagbode delivers a chilling message: Christians in Nigeria are under siege. Villages are burned, priests killed, and lands stolen. The government remains silent. This is not just persecution—it’s extermination. If Nigeria collapses, West Africa follows. The world must act now—before silence becomes complicity, and complicity becomes catastrophe.
The writer expresses deep concern for the Nigerian elite's impact on the populace, reflecting on their complicity and silence regarding local suffering. They invoke religious sentiment, pleading for courage and accountability, recognizing the historical privileges of their ancestry, and emphasizing the necessity of confronting evil rather than remaining passive.
Headlines distract. Lives are at risk. I share a survivor’s view from Northern Nigeria. Christian minorities face targeted attacks; many Muslims suffer too. Let’s track each attack, protect hotspots, cut ransom money, and care for survivors. Turn attention into action within 90 days.
Climate change is an existential crises to humanity. And presents the most dire consequences for vulnerable developing countries such as Nigeria. Adebayo Alonge has presented a comprehensive strategy to the Nigeria President that can help that country and similar countries adapt to Climate change.
The #EndSars protests in Nigeria are a sign of wider discontent and anxiety among Nigerian youths for their future. Nigerian youths face an increasing lack of opportunity. #EndSARS is just a symptom of a much wider decay in Nigerian society. The Nigerian government will be well served to listen and accelerate its efforts towards creating a Nigeria that works for Nigerians rather than only for the 0.1% elite & their foreign collaborators.
The Imperial expansion of the Oyo Yoruba from the 1600s-1800's destroyed the Yoruba confederacy and ethnic identity. Briefly restored from 1940-1970, the Yorubas experienced major economic gains. Now as Nigeria's unitary system constrains Yoruba identity, the Yorubas have again entered into modern decline.
The Yoruba are Nigeria's first nation but their historic advantages are eroding.
This first part series aims to trace the early origins of their historic advantages
