Another massacre in Nigeria and the ‘slow genocide’ of Christians

During the Christmas period when many people are switched off from the news, up to 200 Christians were killed in a series of terror attacks over two days on villages in the north-central Plateau state in Nigeria.

221 homes were burned, local reports say, as were churches, and in addition to those who were killed, more than 300 people were left injured. The attackers, armed with guns and machetes, hacked many of their victims to death, Intersociety, a Nigerian organisation which seeks to tackle religious persecution, says.

How many people of other races in Ireland have been murdered in a racist incident since 2000? Few if any. Yet we have a Nigerian living in Ireland – who was privileged in her home country – being paid to teach the Irish about racism. This money would be far better spent if she were to become an advocate for Nigerians suffering at home and not being given the help their government should be giving them.

The now agenda of destroying Africa and keeping it poor for the domino affect of destroying the west and the constant Hegelian dialect to keep wars going with pro nwo governments. The nwo has literally murdered billions over the last 200 years.

This has been very prevalent over the last ten years. It is not reported or is misreported as inter tribal conflict over grazing rights. You won’t find any truthful reporting on this in Irish media, Gript excepted. To make matters worse we are catering to the every need of the perpetrators when they arrive in Ireland as guests of O’Gorman and the criminals who share the cabinet table with him. Utterly sick.

It’s ironic that Nigeria is still one of fastest growing Christian nations while it’s Christians suffer the most while also retaining traditional Christian values

Christians are the most persecuted group of people in the world today. This is a fact. The people who perpetrate the vast majority of this persecution are Muslims as is the case in Nigeria. Why is this never reported in the MSM? There is a very sinister agenda here.

Christians suffer daily persecution in many Muslim countries around the world , in particular Pakistan.

Would you support a decision by Ireland to copy the UK's "Rwanda Plan", under which asylum seekers are sent to the safe - but third world - African country instead of being allowed to remain here?
