Β π·π₯Fifty thousand Christians dead. Villages razed. Priests kidnapped. Churches turned to ash β and Britain still wires over Β£100 million a year to Nigeria as if the bonfires are none of its business. Every year, the Foreign Office pats itself on the back for βpromoting peace and human rights,β while Christian communities across northern and central Nigeria are hunted down by extremists. If this were any other group being exterminated, the front pages would be howling. Instead, the silence is bought, sealed, and funded by British taxpayers.
π The Moral Contradiction Britain Wonβt Confront
We claim our aid βbuilds stability.β But stability for who? For the government accused of looking away while Christians are massacred? For the bureaucrats cashing βgovernanceβ grants while families bury their children in mass graves? Britainβs moral compass seems to spin wildly when the victims wear crosses instead of rainbow pins. Every pound we send without conditions is a moral IOU signed in someone elseβs blood.
π° The Facts the Media Pretend Not to See
Human rights monitors β Open Doors, Intersociety, and others β have screamed the numbers for years: tens of thousands of Christians slaughtered, villages wiped out, and extremists running unchallenged. Boko Haram, ISWAP, Fulani militias β take your pick. The Nigerian state, despite billions in aid and βsecurity training,β canβt stop the killing. And yet, the UK continues to boast about βgovernance partnerships,β a phrase so hollow it could echo through a burning church.
π° The Aid Illusion
Aid, in theory, is about compassion. In practice, itβs a laundromat for moral failure. We fund reports, workshops, and PowerPoints about βreligious freedomβ while the actual freedom to live as a Christian in parts of Nigeria vanishes. The Foreign Office says it βmonitorsβ persecution. Really? How many attacks prevented? How many killers prosecuted? Or is the only thing being monitored the size of the next aid budget?
ποΈ What BritainΒ – Should – Β Be Demanding
Tie the money to measurable protection. Count investigations, not press releases. Demand that the Nigerian government defend all its citizens β or cut the funding that props up its excuses. Because aid without accountability is complicity dressed in virtue-signalling. If we can impose sanctions for trade violations, we can certainly demand justice for murder.
π―οΈ Blood on the Ledger
When our aid buys silence, we stop being bystanders and start being partners in the crime. Every coffin carried through a Nigerian village should echo through Westminster. Britain doesnβt need to abandon Nigeria β but it needs to stop pretending that βdevelopment fundingβ is anything other than hush money if it comes without moral terms.
π₯Β ChallengesΒ π₯
Why is Β£100 million of taxpayer money flowing into a system that lets Christians die in silence? Why does βnever againβ always have a loophole? Rage, question, challenge β we want your unfiltered thoughts. π¬π£
