A powerful video message from Prophet Isa El-Buba, a well-known Nigerian cleric, has sparked intense national debate after he raised alarm over what he describes as a continuing genocide against Christians in Nigeria.
Addressing the nation, El-Buba warned that the integrity of Nigeria is under threat and called on citizens to unite against deception and injustice. He pointed to persistent attacks in the North and Middle Belt regions, claiming that tens of thousands of Christians have been displaced or killed by Islamic militants.
El-Buba shared grim statistics, alleging that over 7,000 Christians have been killed in 2025 alone, averaging 32 deaths per day. He referenced past figures — 3,100 deaths in 2024 and 4,118 in 2023 — and recalled the 2023 Plateau Christmas massacre, where 300 Christians were reportedly killed by Fulani militias.
The cleric condemned what he described as the government’s denial of the crisis, calling such responses “lies” and urging national acknowledgment of the reality. He appealed for urgent measures against corruption and called on political leaders to safeguard Nigeria’s survival through honesty, justice, and unity.
El-Buba also issued a warning against the rise of a one-party political system, arguing that Nigeria’s democracy depends on a vibrant multiparty structure. He stressed that a one-party state would be rejected and urged politicians to rise above self-interest to rescue the nation.
The video has generated widespread reactions across social media — with many agreeing with El-Buba’s concerns, while others caution against framing the violence solely as religious. The discussion has reignited debate around genocide claims, Christian safety, and Nigeria’s political future amid worsening insecurity and governance challenges.
