Although there are some who question reports of Nigerian Christian genocide, we must hear first person eyewitness accounts to learn the truth…

Who Is Mike Arnold and Why His Testimony Matters…
Mike Arnold is not a distant commentator or policy analyst. He has traveled to Nigeria 16 times since 2010, including repeated visits to Massacre sites, Displaced-person camps, Frontline villages targeted by Fulani jihadist militias.
He has embedded with survivors, documented atrocities on camera, and helped build schools inside displacement camps in Abuja. His work culminated in a government-invited press conference in October 2025, intended to neutralize genocide claims but which instead exposed them globally.
Within 72 hours:
The global narrative shifted from majority denial to majority recognition.
The Nigerian Senate convened an emergency session.
The issue entered high-level U.S. security briefings…
…I recently received an article written by someone I thought was fully tuned into the the genocide faced by the Nigerian Christian community, but then realized that the writer's perspective was much different than that of a recent guest with much first hand experience on the suffering of Black Nigerian Christians at the hands of radical Islam and many complicit Nigerian government officials.
“Equally, the dangerous misinformation being amplified abroad must be countered. Recent commentaries by U.S. lawmakers and advocacy groups paint Nigeria as a place of Christian persecution or state-sponsored indifference.
This is not true. These narratives are misleading and corrosive.
Nigeria’s violence is not theological; it is the product of resource competition, desertification, and population pressure, factors that extremists exploit to mask their political ambitions under the cloak of faith.
Nigeria's President is Muslim; his wife is a Christian.
Nigeria’s cabinet and key Government appointees are religiously balanced. Christians occupy senior positions across the military, judiciary, and civil service.
Nigeria bleeds from both sides of her faith. Its leadership knows that every life lost, Christian, Muslim, or otherwise, is a loss to one Nigerian family or another.
President Tinubu has shown strong leadership on the economic and security fronts. Unlike some of the country's past leaders who hid behind excuses, President Tinubu has faced the security challenge head-on, strengthening inter-agency coordination, military command and intelligence structure by deploying modern technology and platforms, while tackling the economic roots of insecurity through bold reforms, empowering local security initiatives, and restoring morale in their Armed Forces.”
I sent this quote and the entire article to Mike Arnold and suggested that he join me again to discuss how politics and poorly conceived political alliances by the intelligence agencies within our national government and the military industrial complex are impacting the lives of innocent people.
Much of America's international foreign policy for the past 125 years has focused on the containment of our perceived ideological enemies, and not the furtherance of a free and decent quality of life for average citizens living in the impacted nations. Consequently, we have mistakenly supported and financed some of the most corrupt and dictatorial regimes on the planet. By painting a false image of reality, or thru the funding of proxy wars against our perceived enemies, we have blundered into some very counterproductive relationships that threaten our international moral credibility.
This must stop if we are ever to end the image of “the ugly Americans” on the world stage.
According to Mike Arnold and many others directly involved, the Nigerian genocide against Christians is very real; affecting the lives of all those caught in the path of theocratic political forces intent on transforming all of Africa into a uniform Islamic theocracy.
Without serious change, it is estimated some 2 million currently displaced (kidnapped?) Nigerian youth will be radicalized by 2030. Africa Arise programs are reaching out to the afflicted populations, currently serving some 600 child survivors with a free, high-quality, loving education – and stand ready to reach many more given the opportunity.
The most resource rich continent in the world has a long history of subjugation and colonialization by the old European Powers, and more recently by the CCP attempting to gain natural resource dominance through their Belt and Road initiative.
Erstwhile efforts by the radical green lobby to limit the development of affordable energy that would allow Africans to enjoy economic development have kept much of the continent desperately poor.
Meanwhile, despotic political factions treat Black Christians as little more than cannon fodder in an autocratic system that relies on constant strife and war to maintain control. It's time to stop this madness and end the tribalism and theocracy that continues to destabilize the entire continent.
It's time to give the African people a fighting chance to realize the religious, economic and political freedom that most in the West have enjoyed for several centuries. It's time to lift the boot off their necks and walk the walk rather than just talk the talk of committed Christian people of faith.
We can no longer afford to turn a blind eye to their travails while African Christians are being exploited.
A recent expos'e of the Nigerian Genocide by Mike Arnold who has traveled to Nigeria 16 times since 2010 — doing mission work, field investigation, and front-line filming will be our topic of discussion for this podcast.
He has made seven trips since 2019 to visit slaughtered villages, been embedded with survivors; all while documenting atrocities and building schools inside displaced person concentration camps in Abuja.
Mike Arnold has connected with the top political and religious leaders – presidents and cabinet ministers, Senators and Kings, even Cardinal Onaiyekan.
On October 14, he was flown in by the Tinubu Administration for what was supposed to be a photo-op PR stunt — complete with smiling photos next to jihadist imams. He updated his will before boarding the plane because he knew he might not make it home…………especially after he flipped the script.
Within 72 hours, his press conference made 4 billion media impressions. The Nigerian Senate called an emergency session and formed a special committee to address the report. That single event flipped the global narrative on Nigeria’s Christian genocide — from 80% denial to 70% recognition. Observers across both continents now credit that moment with prompting Trump’s CPC designation and open threats of military action.
- Mike Arnold publicly exposed the coordinated design behind the genocide: from Fulani jihad networks to Chinese-funded blood mineral pipelines.
- Mike Arnold has been name-checked by the Sultan of Sokoto — likely the single most dangerous religious-political figure in Africa
- He become — verifiably — the most visible American in Nigeria and his tweets frequently become headlines.
- His expos'e is now being pulled into top-tier U.S. government meetings and security briefings, like those being set up by Sen. Sam Brownback.
Mike Arnold is also the executive producer of Me & Ms. Hanatu, a documentary now in post-production, keynoting the “Stop the Genocide & Restore Nigeria Rally” in Washington, D.C., on December 1, 2025.
