Nigerian Christians more resilient than terrorists, advocate says

Light of Truth

Christianity won’t be driven from Nigeria by Boko Haram and Fulani militants, says one human rights advocate. Christians make up about half the population of Nigeria, but have faced harsh persecution in recent years on multiple fronts, primarily from Islamic terrorist group Boko Haram and Muslim Fulani herdsman, who have attacked Christian villages in search for grazing territory for their cattle. However, Johnson said the resilience of Nigeria’s Christian community is stronger than terrorism. “If Boko Haram is allowed to create a caliphate, they would kill all Christians whom they found,” Johnson told Crux. “This does not indicate, however, an end to Christianity in Nigeria. The Gospel spreads quicker in areas of high persecution than anywhere else.” he said.
