Bishop Wilfred Anagbe said something of immense importance: that “the quest to Islamize the land appears high on the agenda of some of the powerful and influential Muslims in Nigeria, noting that there is a campaign to take land to spread Islam.”
Every jihadist on the face of the earth, from Nigeria to the Middle East and elsewhere, kills to “take land to spread Islam,” and they also use other deceptive and manipulative means, if they’re not murdering people outright. This has gone on for over 1,400 years, but remains unrecognized by the willfully blind, many of whom are afraid to offend Islam.
As genocide continues in Nigeria, the world turns a blind eye.
Days ago, Fulani jihadists slaughtered dozens of Christians as Easter approaches. During Christian holy days, persecution ramps up, as it does during Ramadan, when the reward for murdering infidels (martyrdom) is deemed to be greater.
“Bishop Anagbe, in DC testimony, warns of ‘Islamic agenda to homogenize Nigerians,’” Catholic World Report, April 15, 2025:
Concerns over the safety of Mgr. Wilfred Anagbe, the Bishop of Makurdi in Nigeria, and Fr. Remigius Ihyula are growing after the two men testified about the persecution of Christians in Africa’s most populous nation.
On March 12, 2025, the Nigerian prelate testified before the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, detailing what he called the “egregious” violation of human rights in a country that has become “one of the most dangerous and insecure places for Christians.“
He fingered militant, Islamic Fulani herdsmen whom he described as terrorists “destroying society.”
“They steal and vandalize, they kill and boast about it, they kidnap and rape, and they enjoy total impunity from the elected authorities.”
He said the target of these attacks is mostly Christians and, to a lesser extent, moderate Muslims.
Nigeria, with some 238 million inhabitants, is nearly evenly divided between Christians and Muslims. But Anagbe sees a nefarious plan by those in power to turn the country into an Islamic state.
“Islamist extremists are fiercely contesting the possession, control and governing law of the land, especially in the country’s northern and central regions, the latter of which is where Benue is located,” he told Congress.
“A long-term, Islamic agenda to homogenize the population has been implemented, over several presidencies, through a strategy to reduce and eventually eliminate the Christian identity of half of the population,” Anagbe said.
He explained that the Islamization strategy includes both violent and non-violent actions. These include the exclusion of Christians from positions of power, the abduction of Church members, the raping of women, the killing and expulsion of Christians, the destruction of churches and farmlands of Christian farmers, followed by the occupation of such lands by Fulani herders…..
