Hawzah News Agency- Nigeria’s problems stem from terrorism, land disputes, and poverty — and both Christians and Muslims have suffered. The path forward lies in reform and unity, not disinformation.
Nigeria is not a religiously monolithic state. Its nearly even Christian-Muslim population is reflected in its leadership.
Most victims of these groups have been Muslims. Boko Haram emerged in Nigeria’s Muslim-majority northeast, where it has killed tens of thousands of Nigerian Muslims, including countless scholars and civilians it deemed apostates.
The Nigerian government has made substantial efforts to combat terrorism and protect all citizens regardless of faith.
To suggest that such a government is enabling genocide is both baseless and absurd. Nigeria’s past crises, such as the Biafran War, were driven by politics and ethnicity, not religious campaigns.
ACLED data confirms that both Christians and Muslims are targeted, with most violence stemming from political, ethnic, or resource-based disputes rather than religious ideology.
