“This House simply cannot look away. It must find its backbone and defend the Christian world globally.”
Strong remarks on persecution of Christians in Nigeria 🇳🇬 by MEP @SebastianTyne@ecrgroup. Puts violence in Sharia law context, blames “Christianophobia” for global silence.
The Euro Parliament debate on persecution of Christians in Nigeria 🇳🇬 began today w remarks from MEP @MiriamMLex, a longtime religious freedom advocate:
“Across the country, Christian communities face repeated attacks from Fulani militants, Boko Haram & other organized groups.”

The UN just released a report from a twelve-day Nigeria "investigation" by its Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief. Finding: no evidence of religious persecution.
One detail sets the table: the Rapporteur was there at the invitation of the Nigerian government.
The Rapporteur's reasoning: she did not see a direct government order to kill Christians. No instruction from Abuja, up and down the chain of command, ordering one religious group destroyed. Therefore — not genocide. Not persecution. Move along.
The problem is, that is NOT the legal standard. That is a red herring. Disgusting.
In 1994, Hutu militias — not the Rwandan military, not a government chain of command — killed 800,000 Tutsi in 100 days. The International Criminal Tribunal ruled it genocide. The killers didn't have government memos in their pockets. They had machetes and a mission. Intent to destroy a group is the standard. Not a signed order.
The Rapporteur, Prof. Nazila Ghanea, holds a chair in international human rights law at Oxford University. She knows the legal standard for religious persecution and genocide. She chose intentionally to kick up dust with a false argument to justify her obviously pre-determined conclusion. That's not an investigation, it's a whitewash. This should be a crime.
Here's what her twelve-day investigation looked like. She went to Abuja, Jos, and Kano — cities. Not to Barkin Ladi, not Benue, not Taraba or Southern Kaduna, not Gwoza, where the massacres continue. Her own statement confirmed her activities were "limited to Kano and Plateau states." She met with government officials and "religious leaders." In Nigeria that means she sat with the apparatus running the cover-up and took notes.
In her own words, she acknowledged that "at the village and hamlet levels in particular concentrations of the country, scores of innocent people experience killings, mass violence and the total decimation of their livelihoods, time and again, witnessing little or no justice." She acknowledged the scale of killings "could qualify as genocide." Her own senior legal experts told her directly they "cannot say that genocide is not happening anywhere in Nigeria."
Then she issued a report saying there is no evidence of religious persecution.
Prior to her trip, the European Centre for Law and Justice, Genocide Watch, and 21Wilberforce each submitted documented evidence of anti-Christian massacres for her consideration. She came home and said there's nothing to see.
Lying to hide the genocide is nothing new for the UN. I build schools in displacement camps in Abuja. The UNHCR wrote a detailed report about those camps in 2015. When I contacted them in 2020, they officially denied the camps exist. But they do, and the victims are still there.
More than 185,000 Christians and non-jihadist Muslims have been killed since 2009. More than 20,000 churches burned. Twelve million driven from their homes.
And the UN just handed Nigeria a clean bill of health.
The only certain conclusion from the report is that the UN Rapporteur is either corrupt, complicit, or a complete ignoramus. And her Oxford position likely rules out ignoramus.
The United Nations is not a neutral observer in Nigeria's genocide. It is a participant in covering it up.

“Land of the Living Dead”: Heartbroken Lawyer Weeps as Igbo Youths Emerge After 5 Years of Silent Suffering in Wawa Barracks – Families Never Knew They Were Alive
In a moment that shattered the courtroom silence, Barrister Nnaemeka Ejiofor stood at the Federal High Court yesterday, his voice heavy with grief, as he witnessed dozens of young Igbo men, mere shadows of the vibrant sons, brothers, and husbands their families once knew, lined up like forgotten souls finally seeing daylight.
These were not hardened criminals. They were young Igbo youths, many barely out of their teens when they were taken, now pale, broken, and traumatized after spending more than five agonizing years locked away in the notorious Wawa Military Barracks in Kanji, Niger State, without a single phone call, visit, or letter to their loved ones.
“I cried!!! Some dead!! Dead without their families knowing!!” Ejiofor wrote, his words raw with pain.
He described how the young men, accused of IPOB membership or support, had been completely cut off from the world. No one knew if they were alive or dead.
Mothers in the South-East continued to light candles and pray for sons who had simply vanished into the darkness of detention. Fathers searched hospitals and mortuaries, never imagining their children were suffering hundreds of kilometres away in a Northern barracks many had never heard of.
The lawyer, visibly moved, managed to collect a few phone numbers from the detainees. When he dialled the families, the reaction was pure heartbreak.
“It was crying and thanking me for making efforts for them,” he recounted. “I was not myself after that.” The lawyer stated.
Some of the young men appeared in court only after security agencies had sworn under oath that they did not exist. They had been arrested from Orifite, from Orlu, Orsu, Onitsha, Enugu, Aba, and other part in South East. Now, standing before the judge, many were ready to plead guilty, not because they believed they had committed any crime, but out of sheer terror.
Terror of being sent back to what Ejiofor called “the land of the living dead.”
“They are pleading guilty for fear of being returned to detention in a strange Northern land called Wawa… What is the justice served???” he asked, his anguish echoing through every word.
Imagine a mother who has mourned her son for years, only to learn he has been alive all this time, starved of love, sunlight, and hope. Imagine a wife raising children alone, believing her husband was gone forever. Imagine young men whose only “crime” may have been their identity or their dreams, now so broken that they would rather accept punishment than return to that place of endless suffering.
This is not abstract justice. This is human pain, raw, deep, and avoidable.
Wawa Barracks has become a symbol of silent agony for many families across the South-East. Reports of deaths from illness, neglect, or despair continue to surface, leaving behind widows, orphans, and parents who may never get the chance to say goodbye or lay their children to rest with dignity.
Barrister Ejiofor has promised to publish the names of those he met so that at least some families can finally breathe again, knowing their sons are alive and fighting for a day in court.
But the bigger question lingers in the hearts of many: How many more are still hidden in those barracks? How many voices have been silenced forever? And how long will Nigeria look away while its young men waste away in the shadows?
In the face of such profound human suffering, one cannot help but feel a deep ache, for the forgotten youths, for their grieving families, and for a country that must do better.

THIS IS ONE BRIEFING YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS
@Alex_Barbir and I are the only people I know who have been called out by the dark trifecta of Nigeria -- Tinubu's regime, the Sultan of Sokoto, and Sheikh Gumi.
THIS WILL BE OUR FIRST TIME TOGETHER. Be there to witness history in the making. The truth will be spoken, the light will shine, the earth will shake!
The last time I did a briefing in DC, Nuhu Ribadu rushed over to do damage control and handed the US more targets to bomb. I hope he's backing his bags and bringing more juicy targets!

Cornelia Ginikanwa emotionally experienced Nigerian Genocidal Civil War against Biafrans first-hand, fighting with the Biafran Civil Defence Force and witnessing its devastating impact.
Today, Biafra people are still fighting for survival in Nigeria.
Kudos to Madam Rachel Nwosu as she continues to engage the Israeli government in the quest for justice for MAZI NNAMDI KANU & related matters. This is a tip of the iceberg on how vigorous it has become, seen & unseen.

This is call wise man .I love the way the man handled it not to beat and handvover to the security while his charm are still active.
In case you’re confused about the newest Nigerian security debacle, and President Trump‘s brilliant chess move to expose this corrupt regime, this pretty much sums it up….
