Nigerian Christians and Muslims are very much the problem of Nigeria. In fact some atheists are better than them.
You can reject a religion without hating those who practice it. Once we understand that, Nigeria will progress. God’s religion is love. You can’t love God and hate man!
Many Nigerian Christians and Muslims do not even realise that their choice of religion is not even their choice. It is an illusion of choice. Their parents were Christians or Muslims, and that is all they have ever known. And on the basis of this faux choice, they hate practitioners of other religion.
US State Department’s Report on Nigerian Violence Leaves Out Jihad
Commentary
Claims of a Christian genocide in Nigeria were discounted by the Department of State’s recently published 2020 Country Report which cites land disputes and farmer-herder competition not jihadism as the driver of mass homicides in Nigeria’s North West states. The 17,000-word report posted March 30, 2021 spares just 200 words to explain close to 1,000 brutal murders in Nigeria’s Middle Belt during the last year.
“Land disputes, competition over dwindling resources, ethnic differences, and settler-indigene tensions contributed to clashes between herdsmen and farmers throughout the north-central part of the country,” according to “2020 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices: Nigeria.”

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has apologised for visiting a church which teaches the biblical understanding of sexuality and marriage – a move branded “an insult” to Christians.
On Good Friday, Sir Keir shared a video of his visit to Jesus House for All The Nations in North London, during which he praised the church for its role as a pop-up centre in the vaccine roll-out.
But he was attacked by LGBT activists within the party, who said the visit was “unacceptable” and “does not align with our values on conversion therapy or LGBT+ equality”.
‘Completely disagree’
Agu Irukwu, who is senior pastor of Jesus House, has previously challenged attempts to change the law to normalise and promote homosexuality, having signed open letters criticising parts of the the Equality Act 2006 and the redefinition of marriage in 2013.
