Nigeria’s Christian Genocide: A Call for Justice and National Reawakening__ EgbemaVoice Editorial Board,

By
Nigeria’s Christian Genocide: A Call for Justice and National Reawakening By EgbemaVoice Editorial Board Nigeria’s Christian communities have, for decades, endured unimaginable suffering in the hands of violent extremists and armed bandits, particularly in the northern regions the North East and the Middle Belt. Thousands of innocent citizens have been killed, churches burned, and priests, pastors, and missionaries brutally murdered in cold blood. The persistent attacks by extremist groups have left many communities in ruins. Villages once filled with life and worship now stand deserted, while many families continue to grieve their loved ones. Those who set out to spread the gospel have been ambushed, stoned, or burned alive. These tragedies reflect the painful reality of a country where the sanctity of human life is fast losing meaning. It is deeply troubling that successive governments have failed to deliver justice. In several cases, perpetrators are neither prosecuted n...

The Untold Day U.S. Soldiers Rescued a Kidnapped American in Nigeria — A Warning Against Ignoring U.S. Threats

By
The Day US Soldiers Rescued Kidnapped American Citizen In Nigeria  By EgbemaVoice, It's funny how some people are even saying that Donald Trump cannot just enter Nigeria. Probably, they can't remember what happened in 2024 when US Army entered Northern Nigeria and rescued an American Citizen without anybody knowing about it. The American man identified as Philip Walton spent less than a week in the hands of bandits in the North. Walton was abducted early Tuesday morning from his farm in Massalata in southern Niger by kidnappers who demanded a ransom from the man's father. The same week, a US joint special operations force moved in Nigeria, just across the border, to rescue the American. " They went in with a large group, zero casualties. We've got our American citizen, young man, we got our young man back", US President Donald Trump said, as election day. According to report, the security agencies in Nigeria didn't even know about the operatio...

Trump says he’s ordered Pentagon to ‘prepare for possible action’ in Nigeria

By
, President Donald Trump speaks to ... US President Donald Trump said Saturday he has ordered the Defense Department to prepare for possible military action in Nigeria as he continues to accuse the nation of not doing enough to stem violence against Christians — an accusation Nigeria has repeatedly denied. In a social media post criticizing what he called the “mass slaughter” of Christians in the country, Trump  wrote  the United States would “immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria” and warned the government there to “move fast.” In the lengthy message, Trump said the US “may very well go into that now disgraced country, ‘guns-a-blazing,’ to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities.” Both Christians and Muslims have been victims of attacks by radical Islamists in the country of more than 230 million people. The violence in the country is driven by varying factors: some incidents are religiously motivated and affect bot...
