I’ve spent 15 years immersed in Nigeria—my beloved second home—including the past six years on the front lines of the genocide, camera in hand, investigating and documenting.
My journey has taken me from the highest offices of political and business power, to villages struck by recent massacres, and to the horrific, often-denied camps of displaced survivors.
I know who is perpetrating this Christian holocaust—complete with active, undeclared concentration camps—and why.
This is not random violence. It’s not chaos. The eradication and total subjugation of Christians in Nigeria is part of a long-running jihad to bring the entire nation under the black flag of death—and then use Nigeria’s resources and safe haven to expand that jihad across Africa and around the world. This is why both al-Qaeda and ISIS now base operations there.
Anyone who cannot see the government’s deep entanglement in this campaign is either uninformed or willfully blind. A bloody Northern regime has gained a stranglehold on the nation—actively suppressing and erasing displaced survivors, offering “rehabilitation” to the killers, enabling military complicity in massacre, profiteering from looted mineral wealth, and cracking down on those who dare speak the truth.
I also know how to stop it.
But it won’t come through U.S. designations or media exposure alone. Those tools can help—but the radical Islamic power structure in Nigeria has already prepared to outlast them. They can simply pivot away from the West and into the arms of China, Russia, or the Middle East, where they will be welcomed—and funded—without accountability.
The real solution lies with the Nigerian people… unless and until the world is prepared to take full responsibility and intervene, as it did in Germany and Japan after World War II. But by then, it will be too late.
The backbone of Nigeria is strong and good. But the people have been lied to, gaslit, denied, distracted, and beaten down for far too long. Most have no idea what is truly happening. And those who do are understandably afraid—of a government-linked caliphate that punishes anyone who dares to speak.
The first step in ending this modern holocaust is simple but powerful: shine the light. Expose the truth—unvarnished, unapologetic—not just to the world, but to Nigerians themselves.
The most profound revelation I’ve found is in the 4–10 million internally displaced Nigerians:
In the fact of their existence, and the government’s years-long campaign to grind them into the dirt
In the realization that if this generation of displaced youth comes of age without intervention, the cycle of death will explode like never before
And most of all, in their testimonies—each one a witness to the genocide, and each one holding a story of horror and survival that cannot be denied.
When the displaced are finally seen—when their stories are told—there will be no stopping the moral outrage of good Nigerians. And the world will rise to help them.
Restoring the displaced will require confronting and uprooting radical Islam—and the corruption that protects and funds it.
The government’s role in this crime against humanity—in the systematic smothering of the displaced—is neither subtle nor hidden. It is overt. It is blatant. It is ongoing. And it is there, in the open, that international justice must begin.
The path forward will not be easy—it will pass through great instability and upheaval—but it is clear, and necessary. The government’s active suppression of the displaced, its failure to provide aid, and its calculated tolerance for extremist violence are not policy missteps—they are strategic, willful qviolations of human dignity and international law.
There is still time for reform—but only if Nigerians are given the truth. And only if they demand action.
The IDPs are not a side issue. They are the heart of it all. They carry the evidence, the consequences, and the solution. Their testimonies are the most credible indictments available. And their restoration is the only viable first step toward national recovery.
This is not about Western intervention or partisan advantage. It is about whether the Nigerian people are allowed to see what is being done in their name—and whether they will rise to stop it.
Silence has protected this system for too long.
The truth will break it. (Credit, Atlantic Digest.)
