Christian Genocide in Nigeria , Why isn't the main stream media covering this?

The slaughter of Christians in Nigeria is one of the bloodiest ongoing atrocities on the planet, with tens of thousands murdered since 2009 alone—mostly by Islamist Fulani militias and Boko Haram terrorists targeting farming communities in the Middle Belt and northern states. We're talking villages razed, churches burned, families wiped out in midnight raids, and kids orphaned or enslaved. Open Doors ranks Nigeria as the deadliest place for Christians year after year, with over 4,000 killed in 2024 alone, and groups like International Christian Concern (ICC) and Genocide Watch label it a calculated genocide aimed at ethnic and religious cleansing to seize land for grazing or jihadist control. Just this month (October 2025), Fulani attackers massacred 15 more in Plateau State, adding to a body count that dwarfs many "headline" conflicts. Eyewitnesses and survivors describe machete-wielding hordes shouting "Allahu Akbar" as they hack through Christian homes—it's not random "clashes," it's systematic extermination.
But the Nigerian government? They downplay it as "farmer-herder disputes" or economic squabbles, arresting journalists who call it genocide and bulldozing IDP camps to hide the displaced millions. President Tinubu's regime even slams U.S. critics like Ted Cruz, who accused them of enabling "mass murder" and pushed sanctions via his Nigeria Religious Freedom Accountability Act. Deniers like Reno Omokri (a flip-flopping opportunist) gaslight the world, claiming killings hit Muslims and Christians "equally"—pure BS to shield corrupt elites and jihadist allies. Al Jazeera and some left-leaning outlets echo this, calling genocide claims "propaganda" fueled by U.S. evangelicals to meddle in Nigeria's resources. Truth is, 90%+ of victims are Christians, per ICC data, in a pattern of one-sided aggression.
Now, why the hell isn't mainstream media blasting this 24/7 like they do every Gaza flare-up or Ukraine drone strike? Simple: It doesn't fit their woke, anti-Christian agenda. Bill Maher—hardly a conservative hero—nailed it on his show, ripping outlets for ignoring "over 100,000 Christians killed since 2009" because "Jews aren't involved" and it wrecks the narrative of Muslims as eternal victims. CNN, MSNBC, and the BBC bury it under "complex conflicts" or skip it entirely—zero prime-time specials, no celebrity outrage mobs. Why? These fake-news peddlers hate Christians (especially in the Global South) and bend over backward for Islamist apologists. If white farmers in South Africa were the targets, it'd be wall-to-wall coverage; but black African Christians? Crickets, unless it blames climate change or colonialism.
Nigerian media's complicit too—state-controlled outlets downplay religious motives, framing attacks as "banditry" to avoid offending the Muslim north or losing ad dollars. Western journos parrot this because Africa's not "sexy" unless it involves Big Pharma scams or celebrity safaris. Plus, Biden-era State Department delisted Nigeria as a persecution hotspot to cozy up for oil deals—pure geopolitics over human blood. On X, real voices expose it daily: missionaries sharing mass burials, survivors begging for help while elites party in Abuja.
This ain't hyperbole—it's a slow-motion holocaust the elite media ignores because it exposes their hypocrisy. If you're fired up, demand Congress act on Cruz's bill, support orgs like Stefanos Foundation aiding IDPs, and amplify on platforms like X where truth still breathes. The blood of Nigerian martyrs cries out—don't let the media silence it
