Protecting Nigeria's Christians: A United States' Leadership Opportunity

-


 The persecution of Christians in Nigeria presents a critical leadership opportunity for the United States of America. With over 850, 000 Christians killed in the past 20 years, and over 5 million persons displaced since 2009 in both Plateau and Benue States, extremist religious groups like Boko Haram, ISWAP, Lakurawa Jihadists, and radicalized Fulani herdsmen, have callously perpetrated untold violence, threatening regional stability and global security. The United States, as a champion of human rights and democracy advocacy, must act to protect Nigeria's Christians and promote religious tolerance. 

Nigeria's strategic geographical location and teeming population makes it a key player in West African security. Unchecked religious extremism can easily spread like epidemics, destabilizing the region and beyond. The United States has already designated Nigeria as a "Country of Particular Concern (CPC)" and conducted military airstrikes against extremist targets. However, while congratulating President Trump for his concern, more needs to be done to address the reasons why terrorism and banditry are still persisting in Nigeria. 

United States' leadership can make a whole lot of difference. By supporting Nigeria's Government in protecting Christians and promoting interfaith dialogue, the United States can enhance regional peace, stability, and safeguard global interests. Economic aid, targeted sanctions, and diplomatic pressures can encourage Nigeria to address these issues. 

Protecting Nigeria's Christians is not just a humanitarian imperative. Rather, it is a strategic opportunity for the United States to demonstrate global leadership and promote lasting peace. The world looks up to the United States to act swiftly on values of freedom and justice. Truly, now is the right time to act!

In conclusion, the United States of America has a critical chance to lead in protecting Nigeria's endangered Christians, who face persistent brutal violence and existential threats from extremist Islamic groups like Boko Haram, ISWAP, Lakurawa Jihadists, and other banditry groups. With over 850, 000 Christians killed in the past 20 years, and over 5 million displaced persons in Plateau and Benue States alone, the United States should act fast to separate Christians tribes from Muslims in Nigeria. That is the only way to stop Christian genocide in Nigeria. Economic aids withdrawals, targeted sanctions, and diplomatic pressures can encourage Nigeria Governments to protect Christians and promote interfaith dialogue. The United States should seize this opportunity to act on values of freedom and justice.

Menace Of Parental Estrangement In The World

Parental estrangement is a painful and complex issue that affects millions of families across all latitudes of the world, with disastrous implications for emotional distress, social isolation, loneliness, and long-lasting consequences for elderly parents, and their adult children. Wherever you go, you will see lonely elderly parents who lack food, clothes, shelter, and healthcare delivery services. Their adult sons and daughters are in the cities of their own countries, or have even migrated to other far away countries in quest of greener pastures to survive. Their hungry and helpless aged parents at the rural areas are depending on them for survival, whereas their children in the cities are earnestly struggling to succeed in the face of harsh economic conditions. Many of these adult children in the cities who have elderly parents at home are unemployed. Many of them receive very small wages at the end of the month. Their wages are unable to meet the financial needs of the nuclear fami...

Coping With A Resistant And Toxic Partner In The Family

-

 Family dynamics are complex and challenging issues, especially when dealing with a resistant and toxic husband or wife. The emotional toll of living under the same roof with someone who is resistant to change and toxic in conducts and behaviours can be very painful and frustrating, affecting not only the involved spouse but also the children and other family members. A resistant and toxic partner can exhibit behaviours such as emotional manipulation, gaslighting, and blame-shifting. A resistant and toxic husband or wife is always right ( in his/ her own evaluation and reasoning), unwilling indeed to take responsibility of his/ her actions. Rather than coming down from his/ her high horse to apologize for his/ her fault, he/ she will begin to shift the blame to the partner or any other member of the family. He or she feels that he/ she cannot do anything wrong or faulty. This behaviour can be incredibly damaging, leading to feelings of anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem....

Effective Principles Of Co-parenting Children After Divorce

-
Image
        When a marriage ends up in divorce, the most significant challenge for many parents is not the end of the relationship in particular, but the beginning of a new chapter in co-parenting their children. The act of co-parenting requires parents to put aside their differences (which they were unable to reconcile to save the marriage) and work together to raise their children. Divorce indeed has an unspeakable impact on children's emotional, social, and psychological well-beings. Children of divorced partners often experience a litany of emotions: sadness, abandonment, anger, guilt, anxiety, and depression.  They may struggle to adjust to living in two separate households, dealing with conflicting parental expectations, and grappling with the emotional fall-out of their parents' separation. Infallible research has shown that children of divorced partners are more likely to experience behavioral problems, decreased academic performance, and emotional dist...
