Why is no one talking about the genocide in Nigeria?
By: Rivy Mosegi, Opinion EditorThe genocide of Nigerian Christians has resurfaced over the past several months, yet mainstream Western media has remained almost entirely silent. I’ve come across some of the most gruesome visuals of the torture and killings of Nigerian Christians on social media...

This is not some made up genocide like we see in Gaza. No, these Christians are not already actively engaged in war with people in Nigeria by digging tunnels and lobbing rockets at their foes as they are fully funded by Iran. No, this is a real genocide where far more people have been killed than in Gaza, yet the world only talks about Israel being Nazis. And the UN is also to blame, as they only continue to write resolutions against Israel. In fact, the Hitleresque antisemitic UN has written more resolutions against Israel than all the nations on earth, proving just how partisan and antisemitic they really are.
But the media is in bed with them as well. In fact, their partisan antisemitic plans begin to fall apart if they report the truth about virtually anything. Our media is absolute trash!
One of the main reasons anyone should go into journalism – a field that’s been deeply compromised – is to tell the truth: to report on what’s really happening in governments, universities and countries around the world. We need to draw attention to issues that extend far beyond our own borders. What’s happening in Nigeria should be our concern. The fact that no major networks are reporting on this crisis is not only concerning – it’s disturbing. It reveals a lot about the priorities of U.S. media and what stories we, as an audience, choose to pay attention to. When are we going to stop being so self-centered and start caring about people whose rights are being stripped away, whose lives are being taken every single day? America needs to do better – both in our journalism and in our humanity.
