The world yawns. This, too, cannot be blamed on Israel, so it ain’t happening.
“Herdsmen Kill 28 Christians in Benue State, Nigeria,” Morning Star News, May 6, 2024:
ABUJA, Nigeria (Christian Daily International–Morning Star News) – Fulani herdsmen killed 28 Christians from April 20 to April 22 in an area of Benue state, Nigeria, residents said.
“Some groups of Muslim Fulanis have attacked three Christian villages in Gwer West Local Government Area of Benue state,” said area resident Florence Aaka, who said 28 Christians were killed.
Henry Agba, chairman of the Gwer West Local Government Council, said armed herdsmen killed the Christians in Mbabwande village, Gyaluwa village and a community along Naka/Adoka Road.
“These attacks started on Saturday, April 20, when six of the Christian victims were ambushed by the herdsmen at Mbabwande village, where they had gone for the burial of a Christian who died in the area,” Agba told Christian Daily International-Morning Star News.
Herdsmen killed 14 Christians at Gyaluwa on April 21 at about 11 p.m., he said, adding that the next day, they attacked the Christian community along Naka/Adoka Road.
“So far, Christian villagers have recovered the 28 corpses of Christians killed during these attacks,” Agba said. “Furthermore, dozens of other Christians were wounded and are currently receiving treatment in some hospitals.”
The assailants have also kidnapped several people in the Gwer area, he said. Six Christians kidnapped near the Naka Highway on Tuesday (April 30), including one identified as Matthew Chile, his wife and four siblings, were released on Sunday (May 5) after relatives paid a ransom, said Victor Torsar Ormin, a former member of Nigeria’s National Assembly.
“[Chile’s] captors, who are Fulani herdsmen who had demanded a ransom of 50 million naira [US$36,150], released him at about 8 p.m.,” Ormin said in a press statement….

Kidnapped, ransom demanded, paid and the **herdsmen**….a.k.a. mozlum males…know his family can raise the money. He’ll be kidnapped again.
“fulani” and “herdsmen” are now the same as mozlum….scummy dross of humankind…doing the evil desires of their ‘father.’
There will be no “ransom” demands for these murderers and kidnappers, extortioners when their “day” arrives. The payment will be made by the perps and it will be the last thing they ever do.

Over 50,000 Christians killed in Nigeria by Islamist extremists since 2009 and this is undoubtedly a low figure.

I wonder if Harry Markle has been told of this atrocious crime.
James Lincoln says
The murdering of Nigerian Christians.
That’s the real genocide.
Donovan Nuera says
I wonder if Princess Meghan Markle and Harry will visit the area since they are in Lagos today on a self-centered goodwill tour and Meghan is 43% Nigerian as a DNA test she took??????

For the ignorant sheeple, sorry, people using the term “ islamist extremists”
Please STOP!!!!
Your ignorance of what the ideology of Islam teaches is showing and all this does is create propoganda in the minds of more sheeple that cannot think for themselves , thus every time Muslims murder others , these same sheeple will incorrectly believe that “ extremists” committed these acts.
No….This is Islam!

Herdsmen with riffle kiling Christians? What kind of herdsmen are they? Just say, Fulani jihadists, or Islam jihadists.
This is a genocide against the African Christians, but seems like they are not “black” because they are Christians, so Black LIves Matter is not applicable for those victims.
And if they are killed by muslims, then it is not a big deal, not like if the Jews (or white conservatives) kill some people,
We are living in a f***ed world.

And the demonstrators on college campuses are where for the Nigerian Christians being slaughtered by Muslims/Islam in Nigeria. Maybe these young people should take a good look at who is sponsoring the demonstrations they are participating in. Just what is the sponsored agenda?
