Nigeria is becoming a “mass grave” for Christians
“According to Global Christian Relief and other human rights monitors, Nigeria remains the deadliest place in the world for Christians. In 2024 alone, more than 4,100 Christians were killed for their faith—82 percent of all Christian martyrdoms worldwide.” - Denison Forum

What is happening in Nigeria is under reported and it seems out government is just ignoring it. We need to pray.
"The Midrash Detective"
The article notes that (a subset of?) the Fulani people, as well as Boko Haram, are they key perpetrators. 15,000 adherents to Boko Haram, probably a few more with the Fulani rebellion. Mixed with the religious conflicts are pastoral-agricultural conflicts and issues with perceived/real corruption in the Nigerian government.
Fighting the insurrections is apparently a guerilla war for which the Nigerian Army is not always well prepared, and part of the issue is that the murders of 4000 Christians each year are a minority of the ~64,000 murders each year in Nigeria--with presumably a few more not reported to authorities.
Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.
