President Trump recently claimed that Christianity in Nigeria was "Facing an existential threat", referring to the alleged slaughter of Nigerian Christians by jihadists and or Boko Haram. He threatened US military intervention if the problem was not resolved, saying the response would be "fast, vicious, and sweet".

Chair of the African Commission Mahamoud Ali Youssouf denied these claims, saying "there is no genocide in northern Nigeria" he also claimed it was the Muslims who suffered first.

What is the true situation in Northern Nigeria? Is one side correct, or is it a combination of two truths? are Nigerians being Slaughtered, and if so, Christians specifically?
