Christians in Nigeria, and indeed in West Africa, face two major urgent challenges, two battle grounds: first, the devastation to lives and property caused by radical Islamic sects.
This they can do very little or nothing about. The government has the sole responsibility to protect lives and property and to engage with and resist the terror groups to stop the persecution.
The second challenge is the battle in the media. Most Christians are frustrated by the propaganda, misinformation and deliberate distortion of news that paint completely different pictures of their situation and the predicaments they suffer. While Christians and churches are unable to do much about the first challenge, they are also ill equipped and unprepared to handle the second.
