Nigerian Genocide: Why are Muslims massacring Christians in Nigeria?

In this Part 1 episode of The Goldie Show, we unpack the difficult question: Why are Christians being massacred in Nigeria? Goldie offers a clear, plain-English breakdown that separates Islam (a personal faith practiced peacefully by tens of millions of Nigerians) from Islamism/jihadist extremism (a political ideology exploited by violent groups). If you’re new to the topic and want facts without euphemisms, this is your starter guide. We map the major actors and their methods: Boko Haram, ISWAP (ISIS–West Africa Province), and Fulani extremist militias that raid rural communities, torch homes and churches, kidnap for ransom, and weaponize fear to empty villages. You’ll learn how these networks use cross-border arms, smuggling routes, and propaganda to destabilize regions like Borno, Yobe, Adamawa, Plateau, Benue, Kaduna, Nasarawa, and beyond. We also spotlight the victims who rarely make headlines: pastors, farmers, schoolchildren, and women who face abduction, forced “marriages,” and trafficking. Goldie explains the drivers behind the violence in practical terms—ideology, broken policing, weak governance, corruption, poverty, and local political incentives that allow militants to operate with near-impunity. We also discuss how climate stress and competition over land and water are manipulated by armed actors to inflame tensions between neighbors who historically coexisted. Most importantly, we keep the focus where it belongs: on perpetrators and enablers, not on ordinary Muslims who reject violence. What actually helps? The episode lays out a solutions checklist that defends human rights without empowering repression: Intelligence-led policing and rapid response to interrupt attack cycles. Terror-finance disruption (kidnap-for-ransom markets, cattle rustling, illicit mining, arms trafficking). Community early-warning systems and secure communications to alert nearby towns and churches. Accountability and sanctions for commanders, fixers, and corrupt officials who aid or ignore atrocities. Support for survivors and IDPs: trauma care, schooling, safe return plans, and protection for witnesses. Goldie connects Nigeria’s crisis to global patterns of transnational extremism and information warfare—how jihadist brands launder narratives online, and how Western audiences can spot manipulative content and avoid amplifying disinformation. For viewers in Canada, the U.S., the UK, and Europe, we share concrete steps: elevate credible Nigerian civil-society groups, push lawmakers to sanction known perpetrators, back programs that secure churches and schools, and support NGOs providing medical, psychosocial, and legal aid. If you care about religious freedom, women’s rights, and equal citizenship, this Part 1 primer gives you the context you need before we dive deeper in Part 2. We stand firmly with Nigeria’s peaceful Muslims and Christians against terror—without blurring the hard truths about the networks driving the killing. 🕛 Live weekdays at 12 noon ET — Subscribe and turn on notifications so you never miss The Goldie Show.
