U.S. President Donald Trump and his counterpart, Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria, have been told that at least 16,000 Christians have been killed in Nigeria since June 2015, many of them victims of radical Islamic violence.
The International Society for Civil Liberties & the Rule of Law submitted a petition to Buhari last week, where the civil society organization urged the president to "wake up from [his] slumber" and protect the millions of endangered Christians in Nigeria.
The "Christians at Crossroads in Nigeria" letter, shared online by Elombah.com, said that 16,000 people, mostly Christians, have been killed since Buhari took office in 2015, including the 5,800 victims of Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen, based on Intersociety's investigation.
Intersociety, which sent a copy of the letter to Trump and United Nations Secretary General Antonio Gutteres, said that the 30 million or so Christians in Northern Nigeria have for decades suffered discrimination and violent attacks at the hands of radical terror groups.

Nothing we can do about it. Bring them all here? I don’t think so. Safe zone for Christians. In Africa. Where?
American press and entertainment industry does not care. They think religious belief is a mental illness.

Unless of course that religious belief is Climate Alarmism, then it’s a perfectly rational dogma to hold.
“Muhammadu Buhari”
We have some Sudanese Christians in our neighborhood. Of course, no one should go through persecution but they may well be closer to God for it.
I see folks go over there from Sudan, crippled, blind, I know they have suffered.
And I think that Buhari guy, is of the Fulani Shepherd tribe, whatever is the right term, Fulanis is correct. His veep was a Christian though but I lean towards that not being significant.
But the guy before who was President, Goodluck Johnathan was Christian BUT I don’t think he had much power in office. I think it was largely an impotent government.
So then, which was worse?
Fulani Tribesman, perhaps that is what I’m looking for and yes, they are Muslims and they’ve killed a lot of Christians too.
Funny how the MSM never covers the violence in Africa unless George Clooney is willing to stick his face in front of the camera.
Who said that having faith is a form of mental illness?
