Intersociety reports that approximately 125,000 Christians have been killed in Nigeria due to Islamist militant attacks since the Boko Haram insurgency began in 2009. More than 7,000 Christians were killed in the first 220 days of 2025 alone.
This is part of a broader pattern of violence that has led to the displacement of millions and the destruction of thousands of churches, with Intersociety warning that Christianity could be wiped out in Nigeria by 2075 if the current trend continues.

According to a report published in August by the International Society for Civil Liberties and the Rule of Law (“Intersociety”), at least 7,087 Christians were massacred across Nigeria in the first 220 days of 2025.
According to Intersociety, 19,100 churches have been destroyed, over 1,100 Christian communities displaced and more than 600 Christian clerics have been abducted. Since 2009, approximately 185,009 Nigerians have been killed, including 125,009 Christians and 60,000 “liberal Muslims,” Intersociety says.
The report attributes the killings to 22 Islamic terrorist groups, including Boko Haram, ISWAP and Fulani militias, which are accused of a genocidal campaign to eliminate Christianity and traditional religions. It says these groups aim to eliminate an estimated 112 million Christians and 13 million adherents of traditional religions by the year 2075, or over the next 50 years.
In addition to uprooting and obliterating Christianity, “These Islamic terror groups are using violence and genocidal means to obliterate or wipe out Nigeria’s indigenous ethnic groups and their identities, especially the 3,475-year-old Igbo cultural heritage put in place [established] since 1450 BC,” the report states.
Intersociety and other groups, including Genocide Watch, have condemned the Nigerian military for its complicity in the violence, accusing it of protecting jihadist interests and failing to protect Christian communities.
Years ago, Genocide Watch raised the alarm. In December 2022, it said, “The UNDP estimates that terrorists have killed over 350,000 people in Nigeria since 2009. 300,000 were children. Boko Haram, ISWAP, and Fulani jihadists have also forcibly displaced over 2.9 million Nigerians. The genocidal massacres have mainly targeted Christians.”
In March 2025, Nina Shea, an American international human rights lawyer, testified before the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Africa on the persecution of Christian farming communities by militant Fulani Muslim herders.
“Nigeria now ranks 6 out of 66 on the 2025 Global Terrorism Index and the index does not even take into account the violence by militant Fulani herders … In recent years, more Christians have been killed for their faith in Nigeria than in all other places combined,” Shea said and urged the US Congress to recommend that Nigeria be designated a Country of Particular Concern (“CPC”).
Yet corporate media remains silent.
The Islamic terror groups want to turn Nigeria into “a country where Christianity is banned and brutally crushed, relegated and forced underground,” the Intersociety report says.
Adding, “Other countries lending anti-Christian crush to Nigeria are Libya, Algeria, North Korea, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Somalia and Afghanistan – where it is high crime to be seen with holy bible or wearing Christian symbols or saying Christian prayers or singing praises and worship songs.”

Fighting over whose imaginary sky fairy people should worship. I’m a Reverend of Nature in case you were wondering. Very pagan….but genuinely Ordained….but I wouldn’t go to war with a Creationist..madness…
Hi Reverend Scott, you say, “I wouldn’t go to war with a Creationist … madness.” I think that’s very wise.
Christians are not violent or hate-filled people, they will not attack you or terrorise you, they are more likely to love you to death :). But when someone goes to “war with a Creationist,” which I take to mean a child of God, they are in fact going to war with God.
Anyone who even vaguely understands the power, the omnipotence, of the Almighty God (Yahweh) will understand that God wins, God always wins. Sometimes God’s way of doing battle doesn’t look as you would expect – often people are looking for the wrong things when He demonstrates His power, when He carries out His will, and so they don’t see it. But when God’s children cry out to Him for help, those who have declared war against them should fear how God will answer.
I pray that God will save His children in Nigeria and demonstrate His power in such a way that Islamists live in fear, that the evil plans Islamists and their collaborators make for others are turned back on them.
There is no rest/respite for the wicked because there is also this: in the end satan eats his own. Are you familiar with C.S. Lewis’ ‘Screwtape Letters’? They’re a good allegory of how satan operates.
https://expose-news.com/2022/03/23/the-screwtape-letters-a-message-for-us-all/
The wicked are not safe from satan either. If the wicked do not have God on their side when satan turns on them, who will they turn to for help?
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?..
Save yourself, or you’ll have a long wait!…
No – save each other – until the enemy of mankkind is wiped out. Maybe God wants us to love life and each other enough to prevent the genocide of His people…
The fact that people can’t fully understand God doesn’t mean he isn’t there. Scientists can’t fully explain the physics of the sun, but they and I can see its light and feel its heat.
All your above “if’s” are only conjecture, not proof. Plus, you are trying to prove by definition when your definitions might be too limited to apply, as in, Yellow apples taste good. This apple is red. Therefore, it cannot taste good.
You might not like the idea of God, but it’s irrational to deny the possibility.
Hi A Yousleh Zeeter,
You sound like you have just climbed out of a sandpit.
Religion is a belief, which means you have to believe.
The 10 commandments are a good guide.
Do as you do unto others, is a good starting point.
The Nigerians will never advance without education.
Excellent wisdom there Dave!
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and CREATE EVIL: I the LORD do all these things.
Isaiah 45:7.
The thrice holy God of Abraham, Isaac, & Jacob is not only “omnipotent”, but omnipresent, and omniscient also.
He “is able” and “willing”; my sincerest advice to you is repent ye and BELIEVE the gospel, for the Kingdom of God is at hand. Mark 1:15.
Seek ye the LORD while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near.
Isaiah 55:6.
Capitals for emphasis.
AWESOME reply!!
G’day Rhoda, quite a few of those Christians being murdered will be those who have converted from Islam.
Hi Ian, its very possible because according to The Association of Religion Data Archives there are as many Christians as Muslims in Nigeria: 46.3% of the population are Muslims and 45.8% are Christians.
https://www.thearda.com/world-religion/national-profiles?u=166c
But it is the Christian faith Islamists are targeting.
Christians don’t use violence, force or fear to convert people, but Islamists do. This is how Islamists take over a country/region, they use Islam as a tool of control to subdue, dominate, suppress and oppress populations. Perhaps that’s why Islam is so “popular” in Nigeria, its a case of conversion to Islam out of fear? Something we see where ever Islamists manage to get a foothold.
We should always bear in mind that Islamism is a political ideology. Islamism uses Islam to gain and maintain power and control. An Islamist does not equate to Muslim. Islamists are power and control hungry. Muslims, on the other hand, follow the religion of Islam. As such Islamists will target moderate or “liberal” Muslims as well. And, as we have seen in other parts of the world, this is happening in Nigeria.
In the article above, I noted that Intersociety’s report said 60,000 liberal Muslims have been killed since 2009. According to US Rep. Chris Smith, Islamist extremists in Nigeria have murdered approximately 34,000 moderate non-Fulani Muslims. See: https://chrissmith.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=414915
The aim of Islamists is to radicalise the entire population into following and/or bowing down to their extremist beliefs. Where Islamists are enabled, they will use terrorism to achieve their aims. Where they cannot use terrorism en mass they use psychology (e.g. the “pro-Palestinian cause”) and infiltrate institutions (including Parliament) as we are witnessing in the UK. When Islamists have gained sufficient control of those institutions, the Islamic terrorism en masse will start. I believe the Muslim grooming/rape gangs in the UK is part of this Islamic terror strategy to take over the UK, a Christian nation.
…and we’re led to believe that could not possibly happen here (UK).In my view it’s a foregone conclusion we will degenerate further, in this direction.
There were many countries before Nigeria, and the rest of the world is on their list too. Islamic terrorists won’t stop, as long as no one stops them!!
Considering ALL religions are man made, these atrocities are all done by design. We are not even from this realm, our souls were deceived to come here by the elite’s masters. so they harvest us for our negative energy. This is an enclosed prison plane, where fear, hate, anger, jealousy and greed are forced upon us. People must realise that no saviour will return to save us. They’re all fairy stories written by man based on astrological symbolism. Only we can save ourselves and hopefully if enough people are awakened and research the truth we will return to our original realms and escape this hell!…
Hi A Yousleh Zeeter,
You need to slow down a bit.
You are covering too much ground, and keep mentioning fairy’s.
Jesus came to the UK in 32AD, so he was a real person.
He came to this country to work in the silver mines.
There were no books in those days, so Jesus told people stories to educate them.
Very good Dave-not only was Jesus “a real Person.”
He was, rather, IS God!!!
He was MANIFEST in the flesh. 1 Timothy 3:16.
Would you care to elaborate on the “silver mines”?
Hi Islander,
I have read he worked at Glasdonbury.
Years ago there were silver mines all over the country.
Keep up your good work.
Glastonbury might be nearer.
Dave, I’ve read many things about Jesus! Then I started studying the Bible. Fables abound, though it is said of Him; there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. John 21:25.
I’m very familiar with Glastonbury-been there many times, it is an absolute mecca for witchcraft/druidism/paganism, and other such nonsense. It maybe that Rev Scott lives there!
There are old silver mines in that area. I’ve been down many mines (and coal mines-you know about them!) of various types, especially the Cornish tin mines, Tintagel Castle etc., when I was researching the Holy Grail/Arthurian legends….and got nowhere!
Hi Dave Owen, you say, “Jesus came to the UK in 32AD.” This is not true, it is a fable pushed out by those who, I suspect, also believe the Holy Grail or Sangreal mythology.
According to the “Jesus came to the UK” mythology, Joseph of Arimathea, a wealthy follower of Jesus, brought the young Jesus to Britain, possibly to Cornwall, due to the region’s tin trade. Some versions of the story suggest Jesus stayed in Glastonbury, learned from Druids, and even planted a staff that grew into the Glastonbury Thorn.
Stephen Liddell writes, “It is said that some years after the death of Jesus, Joseph of Arimathea returned to Glastonbury and buried the Holy Grail or the Cup of Christ at Glastonbury. A couple of centuries later with the Romans evacuating from the country, the whole story then gets encapsulated in the story of King Arthur.”
The truth is, this mythology is to soften people up to accept the anti-Christ. The Holy Grail or the Sangreal, luciferians believe, is the bloodline of Jesus. These satanists claim Jesus had children with Mary Magdalene, and their Sangreal Royal (to us he is known as the anti-Christ) is a descendant of one of these children, who Joseph of Arimathea whisked away for safety and raised as if it were his children in either France or Britain (I’ll need to check which country as I can’t quite recall what the claim of where these supposed children were raised). This Sangreal Royal will be appointed/chosen by the 13 “bloodline” families from one of their own. The 13 bloodline families I refer to are the 13 families that answer directly to satan and head the entire, Council of 33, Committee of 300, Illuminati, Freemason and a plethora of secret societies and mystery religions cult system.
Satanists will try to convince the world that this Holy Grail fable is true so that people believe the Sangreal Royal (the anti-Christ) is the messiah, and follow him as their saviour instead of following the true Christ, the Son of God, Jesus our Saviour who died on the cross for our sins and rose again to rule in Heaven.
As luciferians/satanists begin to publicise their cult more and more openly, their narrative will mimic/counterfeit the Bible and God (Yahweh, Adonai, Jehovah) ever more closely. If we are not firmly rooted in the Bible (God’s written word) and/or Jesus (God’s living Word) it will be easy for people to fall by the wayside. Out of any text or narrative, it is important to follow and believe the Bible first and foremost. If the Bible does not say it, tread carefully and test it for truthfulness (ask God/Jesus/Holy Spirit). Protect your soul (heart and mind) as much as you would your body.
Hi Dave. I keep mentioning fairies?…I said it once! Jesus coming to England is a myth. There were at least 4 historians in the 1st century but not one wrote about Jesus!
Jesus is the Sun of god, the 12 disciples are the signs of the Zodiac….It’s all symbolism created by MAN….
There is an antithesis to the Truth; Satan is the master of this art.
When you say “created by man”, and, in another comment on this thread, I quote you; “ALL religions are man made.”
I most certainly agree with you.
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man; but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
2 Peter 1:20-21.
God in Christ used men to bring His purposes to pass-in this sense the Truth is man made-God used men to preach the Gospel Truth.
His instruments.
Hi A Yousleh Zeeter.
There you go, you mentioned fairie’s again.
The only fairie’s I have seen, are at the bottom of my garden.
The Welsh language is based on Egyption language.
So somebody did arrive to teach them.
Before 2200, there will be no one here and no life on planet stupid.
I can’t imagine why several other well-weaponized countries aren’t going, forthwith, to Nigeria to wipe out these islamic terrorists entirely, once and for all. A genocide this widespread, with threats of lasting for another 50 years and getting unimaginably worse must be stopped by a unified coalition willing to save not just Nigeria, but every other country on these demented islamic terrorists’ list!!! Children, babies, pregnant women, young girls, boys, fathers, mothers ad infinitum should not be sacrifice to the god of death! Wake up world! You’re next!
Other countries, the Western ones, aren’t going to the rescue because their governments are all for the genocide, including of their own citizens. They’ve made some deal with the bad guys and think they themselves won’t be next but instead will get a share of the spoils because they helped. But bad guys break deals.
It’s the ordinary citizens of these countries who must unite against both their own oligarchs and the oligarchs’ Islamist terrorist co-conspirators.
Nigerians, Algerians, Pakistanis, Somalis and Afghans are also leading the raping and butchering in the West. Another long-term global plan is bring carried out against us.
The West was built upon Christian and Roman principals. Throw out the Christian part and you have slavery and lions eating people in the Colosseum. Or, nowadays, slavery and women getting stoned to death for spending the night with their boyfriend.
The Romans high jacked Christianity and perverted it for their own agendas with the end goal of obliterating it along with all other beliefs we need to expel Roman law along with noahide law and sharia law here in the west and return to our real Christian based law where the principle maxim, equality under the law is paramount and mandatory, is fully manifest, then perhaps we could have a positive influence elsewhere.
We need to clean house and get our errant servants in check asap.
Hi Rhoda,
You have entered another bottomless pit.
The Boko Haram gang sound very similar to the gang in Gaza.
These people are still savages and have not entered the real world.
The rule of law means nothing to these types.
Whatever good came out of Nigeria, they are still evolving.
How come we have not really heard about the Christians being killed in any of our news makers.
We haven’t heard about this in the news because the Islamists obviously own all the news sources, right?
Sharia law, John? So I can be stoned to death, as I commented above? Jesus put an end to that, which is one of the many reasons Islamists hate him.
