BILL MAHER: 100,000 CHRISTIANS MURDERED, WHERE’S THE OUTRAGE?
The reality in Nigeria is terrifying, yet mainstream media outlets seem unwilling to address it. Renowned host Bill Maher reignited controversy by highlighting a fact most prefer to ignore: more than 100,000 Christians have been killed in Nigeria since 2009. This systematic and bloody tragedy has gone largely unnoticed by international press, while countless headlines are devoted to conflicts that serve political and ideological interests of the media elite.
Maher himself is not a Christian, yet he emphasized the evidence: Christianity in Nigeria is under siege. Radical Islamist groups, particularly Boko Haram and other extremist factions, have launched a campaign that can only be described as genocide. This is not a matter of isolated clashes or tribal disputes—it is a sustained strategy of extermination. From villages burned to the ground to over 18,000 churches destroyed, the goal is clear: erase Christians from an entire nation.
Maher went further by comparing the Nigerian crisis to the conflict in Gaza. In his view, what is happening in West Africa is a far more evident attempt at genocide, with a clear religious and cultural objective: eliminate the Christian population. And yet, while student activists, NGOs, and international protest movements rally around other causes, Nigeria remains absent from the global conversation.
This silence is no accident. According to Maher, mainstream outlets avoid the subject because it does not fit the progressive narrative. The fact that Jews are not directly involved seems to be enough reason for this massacre to remain ignored by international coverage. Global media, always eager to amplify stories that serve their agendas, has looked the other way when it comes to Christians murdered by Islamic extremists in Africa.
This bias is not only concerning—it is profoundly immoral. In any part of the world, the systematic massacre of tens of thousands should spark outrage, headlines, and international pressure. But political correctness, the fear of calling out radical Islam, and the obsession of elites with other narratives have kept Nigeria off the radar. Christians in that region face the most brutal persecution on earth, and yet the silence is deafening.
Maher’s words strike at an uncomfortable truth: if you don’t know what’s happening in Nigeria, your sources have failed you. Those who rely solely on legacy media live in a bubble, shielded from the most disturbing facts of our time. The lack of coverage on Nigeria is not an accident—it is an editorial decision, a deliberate omission that leaves millions of innocent lives erased from international awareness.
In a world where hashtags can mobilize millions within hours, the question lingers: where are the protest movements, where are the universities, where are the voices demanding justice for Nigeria? The silence is a reminder that outrage today is selective, engineered, and manipulated.
The massacre of Christians in Nigeria should be front-page news and ignite worldwide outrage. Religious persecution cannot continue to be ignored simply because it clashes with progressive interests. Genocide is not defined by the victims’ religion but by the scale of the horror. And in Nigeria, the horror is in plain sight.
