Nigeria’s millions of internally displaced people are the living testimony of the nation’s hidden genocide.
While their own countrymen look away, millions of innocent Nigerians remain displaced, denied, and lied about - many for more than a decade.
Survivors are bulldozed. Killers get "rehabilitation" and jobs.
This is not a tribal clash. It’s a campaign of conquest — and cover-up. The nation has been hijacked by corrupt sadists.
A generation of Nigerian children are growing up believing power only comes from brutality, innocence equals death, and killing is rewarded. If they come of age without intervention, the nation is doomed - which is exactly what the perpetrators desire.
But it’s not too late.
The world is watching! Decent people — of every faith, tribe and political persuasion —must stand up NOW to end the silence, refute the lies, and bring justice to Nigeria.
“A peaceful and prosperous nation can only stand on a foundation of justice. Economic and policy reforms are just powder on a bleeding wound — empty gestures that serve only those in power — when an entire generation lives displaced, denied, forgotten, and crushed by the very government meant to protect them.”
Mayor Mike Arnold, MBA
NIGERIA’S
IDPs
The Nigerian government and their praise-singing chop-chop press have lied to the nation and the world for more than a decade. They call those displaced by genocide “criminals” and “vagrants” - and grind them to the dirt - while they give “rehabilitation” and even jobs to the bloodthirsty savages who slaughter the innocents.
Open your eyes and see the truth — it will set you, and the nation, free.
Nigeria’s IDPs deserve a voice. They deserve justice. Towards this end, we hereby call on the Nigerian government to:
Acknowledge the full scope and true causes of Nigeria’s current IDP crisis.
Form a independent, non-political, bi-faith, above-reproach Nigerian Peace and Justice Commission of incorruptable truth seekers and empower them to uncover and report the truth, and architect effective solutions to restore peace and justice to Nigeria.
Formally recognize and undertake a census of all formal and “informal” IDP encampments across the nation, provide direct relief, and call on the UN and other aid groups to do the same.
Restore occupied lands to IDPs, and resettle them SAFELY back home.
Assure reconstruction or restitution of destroyed properties including homes, churches and schools.
Safeguard the religious freedoms of all Nigerians and protect against further attacks.
Provide college tuition and other assistance to youth born displaced.
Unimaginable hardship and suffering — due to ongoing genocide, daily reality of fear, loss and uncertainty — weighs heavily on internally displaced victims and those at risk of internal displacement. These include both Christians (the vast majority) as well as peaceful Muslims.
Let us all stand in solidarity with Nigeria’s internally displaced people during this difficult time, and commit to supporting efforts to restore peace, stability and hope for a brighter future.
The Nigerian news media (and too many “Christian” leaders) are nearly entirely corrupt and complicit. Truth is not a factor in their decision making - only money and power.
The courageous journalists who cover these issues honestly are often hunted by the government. If you wish to see what’s really happening in Nigeria, here’s an outlet you can trust.
The government and Nigerian media have long labeled IDPs as “vagrants” and “criminals” and their camps as “rural communities,” and have even bulldozed some of these camps, in an attempt to deflect public attention from the vast scope of this growing crisis.
In truth, these people are not stuck in these conditions due to personal mistakes or character flaws. Many are well-educated and professional and were successful in life before their brutal eviction.
They are not “homeless.” They do have homes -- homes that were violently ripped away, homes they long to return to.
IDP Annihilation: The Nigerian Government’s Massive Witness Suppression Scheme
The truth about what’s happening in Nigeria is not hard to find. There are at least 4 million eyewitnesses who can tell you exactly what is happening and why.
They’re called internally displaced people, IDPs. They know exactly what’s going on because, against all odds — through unimaginable, tragedy, trauma, and loss — they survived genocide.
The government doesn’t acknowledge this vast multitude of peaceful, once vibrant and productive people. Instead, it brands them criminals, vagrants, homeless bums, while the bootlicking Nigerian media just nods and smiles. The Government intentionally neglects them, grinds them down, bulldozes their makeshift camps — some that have been home to widows and orphans for a decade now — wiping out everything they have left in this world.
The government could very well afford financially to resettle these people. Provide at least basic necessities. Give them some degree of security and dignity.
And if it couldn’t afford to do so, the international community has the mandate and money to do so, if only Nigeria were to acknowledge the problem and invite the world in to help.
But they don’t.
Because what they can’t afford is to give these people the one thing they fear most: a voice.
From the many I have gotten to know over the last six years, I have learned that each one carries a story of cruelty and horror — and courage — that’s almost beyond comprehension.
They saw. They remember. They know.
The Nigerian government’s intentional, systematic smothering of these millions of innocent victims is the inconceivable compound evil of the long-running Nigerian Christian genocide.
Yet, if you thought that maybe it couldn’t get worse than this, think again. Reality is, these people represent — without intense intervention — a generation of millions of traumatized youth conditioned to believe that power comes from sadistic killing, that innocence is suicide.
There’s a reason they’re called Boko Haram. It means Western Education is Forbidden. They recruit from the uneducated, the disconnected. They know education — loving intervention — imbues vision, values and strength of character. It breaks the cycle of death.
Allowing this systemic traumatization and neglect to continue is itself a form of national suicide. There’s no way peace or prosperity can ever be achieved in a nation when it’s gestating a vast army of disaffected victims who will someday come of age.
And this, too, is by design. The long game. To destroy the fabric of this nation — the sixth largest and one of the top petroleum and hard mineral producers on earth — so it can be brought into full submission to radical Islam. And from there, it can metastasize around the world.
Nigeria’s IDP’s are the smoking gun, the bloody hands of the Nigerian government. They are the living proof that this government is fully complicit in this genocide.
The government’s spin doctors and attack dogs do their best too confuse, obfuscate and suppress the truth. They systematically and brutally bribe, threaten, and kill frontline journalists and anyone else who dares to speak the truth.
And for more than a decade, they have methodically waged the most sociopathic witness suppression campaign that perhaps the world has ever seen.
It ends now.
It’s time for good hearted Nigerians — the vast majority, of all faiths tribes, and political parties — to open their eyes, stand up, and reach out in love to embrace, uplift, and restore this forgotten multitude of their displaced countrymen.
It’s time to give Nigeria’s IDP a voice.
And it’s time for the world to listen to them.
We are nearing completion of a full-length documentary film on the Nigerian genocide and plight of IDPs. This film unearths the root causes of this horrible situation, shines the disinfecting light of truth, and highlights heroic stories of brave people who - armed with nothing but faith and love - are standing in the gap and making a real difference for the future.

To drive these points, Africa Arise International is embarking on a multi-faceted campaign which includes:
Continuing to build and staff schools in the many “unofficial” IDP camps, providing free, high-quality education to displaced children, and rallying support for this effort.
Collecting and providing a platform for IDPs to tell their personal stories, through an effort called My Voice Matters.
Staging events and speaking engagements, and otherwise pursuing media exposure in Nigeria and the USA, to shine a light on this situation.
Producing a full-length documentary film to tell the world about the plight of Nigeria’s IDPs.
Lobbying Nigerian, US, and UN officials to recognize, aid, and restore the IDPs.
Engaging in a vigorous social media campaign to garner widespread awareness and support.
