The Ongoing Genocide in Nigeria Is Inevitable. The British Government Set Up Nigeria to Fail. – Mike Arnold
U.S.A – December 7, 2025
American advocate Mike Arnold delivered a searing indictment of Nigeria’s historical foundations, the legacy of British colonialism, and the escalating Christian Genocide currently unfolding across the country.
Speaking to an audience deeply concerned about global human rights abuses, especially as it concerns the ongoing Christian genocide, Arnold argued that the instability and bloodshed in Nigeria are not accidents of governance but the predictable outcome of a nation deliberately engineered for conflict, control, and extraction.
“Genocide is baked into Nigeria’s DNA”
Arnold laid a stark thesis: the ongoing Christian killings in Nigeria are not random or isolated, but structurally inevitable.
His central statement that Nigeria’s “very DNA has genocide baked into it” challenges long-held diplomatic narratives that claims Nigeria to be a progressive country as well as Africa’s light bearer. He called for urgent international intervention.
He explained that radical Islamist ideology, which has shaped the ruling political structures of Sokoto Caliphate for generations, is rooted in the logic of extermination and domination:
“Radical Islam is an ideology of genocide by definition. It expands only by wiping out those who do not believe as they do. They believe it glorifies their God when they conduct genocide.”
According to Arnold, while nations like the United States were being founded on ideals of liberty and human dignity, the political structures that would later dominate Nigeria were being forged through jihad, conquest, and systematic destruction of Christian Indigenous communities.
A Colonial Blueprint Built on Violence and Extraction
Arnold argued that the roots of today’s violence extend back to the British colonial administration, which did not dismantle the jihadist political order it encountered in Northern Nigeria. Instead, he said, the British strengthened it, using it as an instrument of control and extraction.
“Britain did not set up Nigeria to expand its goodness. It set Nigeria up as a point of extraction, period.”
He emphasized that the British imperial strategy favored ruling through already brutal structures, rather than reforming them. When the time came to create the modern Nigerian state which was drawn on a map with little consideration for ethnic, cultural, or religious realities, the colonial authorities built it on the foundation of what Arnold termed a “genocidal jihad regime.”
According to him, this decision established a power imbalance that persists to this day, in which political elites from the North rooted in the same jihadist ideology control the state machinery, military structures, and economic resources.
A Country Designed to Fail
Arnold argued that Britain intended for Nigeria to remain weak, dependent, and underdeveloped so that it could continue supplying cheap raw materials to global markets.
“They don’t want to buy finished products from a developing nation. They want raw materials from an undeveloped one. And they set Nigeria up to fail. That’s just a fact.”
The consequences of this design, he suggested, are now rippling violently across Nigeria, and the world is watching a predictable catastrophe unfold.
“It’s not surprising, Nigeria is simply following the template”
Arnold insisted that the wave of killings, displacements, and targeted attacks particularly in Christian and minority communities is not an aberration but a continuation of historical patterns:
“It’s not a surprise that there’s genocide in Nigeria. It’s following the template that was set up. It’s inevitable when the world looks away.”
He condemned global indifference, especially among Western governments and international Christian communities, whom he accused of being distracted, complacent, or complicit through silence.
A Call for Global Attention
Despite the grim diagnosis, Arnold was cautiously hopeful, pointing to a growing international awareness of the deep-seated crises of the mass killing of Christians in Nigeria: “Thank God people are paying attention now.”
The speech underscores a rapidly expanding concern among international observers, human rights advocates, and diaspora groups that Nigeria is entering one of the most dangerous periods in its post-independence history.
With rising extremist violence, political fragmentation, and state weakness, Arnold’s warning adds to urgent calls for global engagement before the ongoing crisis of Christian genocide spirals beyond control.
