The genocide of Christians in Nigeria.
Six million dead. Ten million enslaved. Twenty-five million displaced. The raging genocide hiding in plain sight — and why you’ve never heard of it.
They say the winners write the history books.What if the Nazis had won? The Holocaust would be a vague conspiracy theory — denied, spun, suppressed, purged from the media. Anyone who raised it would be marginalized, branded a fringe lunatic. Israel wouldn’t exist. The Middle East would be under total Islamic domination. And eventually, America would be fighting Nazis on the homefront.
We don’t have to guess what that world looks like. There’s a real example today — chillingly parallel, hiding in plain sight.
Nigeria. An ongoing genocide possibly more bloody than the Holocaust.
Before I go further — the point of that comparison is not to rank the dead. Six million souls is six million souls. The difference is that in Europe, the right side won and wrote the history books — so the world was forced to reckon with what happened. In Nigeria, the wrong side won. And the world is being told there’s nothing to reckon with.
Unlike the Holocaust, Nigerian Christians could in theory spare their lives by converting to Islam and joining the jihad. Hitler gave the Jews no such exit. But no human being should be forcibly converted under torture and death threats. What is happening in Nigeria has its own name, its own horror, and its own demand for the world’s attention. It is jihad. We must respond.
To understand what’s happening today, you first need to know about a place called Biafra. There’s a reason you’ve probably never heard of it. But you should.
Today’s Nigerian genocide did not emerge from chaos. It has a genesis — and from it a consistent ideology, tactics, bloodline, and throne that have never changed. Only adapted.
In 1804, a scholar named Usman dan Fodio led the Fulani — a nomadic Muslim tribe perhaps originally from the Sahara — in a declaration of holy war across West Africa. He built Africa’s largest pre-colonial empire on conquest, mass displacement, and enslavement. He called it the Sokoto Caliphate. Its spiritual authority over Nigeria’s Muslim north has never been broken — not by colonialism, not by independence, not by a constitution. The 20th Sultan sits on that throne today. Same institution. Same ideology. Same bloodline. Same ambitions, tactics, and tribe. Two hundred and twenty-two years and counting.
In 1914, Britain stitched together two incompatible worlds — the Christian south and the Caliphate north — into one colonial territory and named it Nigeria. Administrative convenience. When they granted independence in 1960, they handed the keys to the north and left.
What followed in the southeast — Biafra — was electric. Its people, the Igbo, are among the most remarkable on earth. Renowned for their entrepreneurism, hustle, and integrity. They carry an ancient tradition of descent from the lost tribes of Israel — working synagogues still serve their communities today. They are overwhelmingly Christian.
And they happened to be sitting on one of the world’s largest untapped oil reserves.
In the summer and fall of 1966, organized Islamic mobs killed thirty thousand Igbo across northern Nigeria in coordinated pogroms. On September 29th, the killing erupted simultaneously in at least a dozen cities — a coordination that required planning, not passion. Nearly half the dead were children.
The Igbo drew the only logical conclusion: this forced marriage to a bloodthirsty Caliphate simply wasn’t going to work. On May 30, 1967, after futilely trying to negotiate a structure for peaceful co-existence, Lieutenant Colonel Ojukwu declared the Republic of Biafra.
The Caliphate came with full jihad fury. When military assault couldn’t break them, it imposed a total blockade. They shot down Red Cross planes bringing food for starving children. A federal spokesman stated policy on the record: “Starvation is a legitimate weapon of war and we have every intention of using it.”
By 1969, more than a thousand children were dying every day. Time, Der Spiegel, the New York Times all ran the photographs. But the West was consumed — Vietnam, Woodstock — and a genocide of Black Africans simply didn’t break through. Britain kept arming the side doing the starving. Why? Igbo oil. Washington called it an internal affair. The UN stood down. --->READ MORE HERE
