In this episode of Connecting the Dots, Dan Happel takes a second look at the Nigerian genocide with returning guest Mike Arnold, whose firsthand investigations challenge the growing narrative that the mass killing of Christians in Nigeria is merely a resource or climate conflict.
Arnold has traveled to Nigeria 16 times since 2010, visiting slaughtered villages, displaced person camps, and frontline communities targeted by jihadist violence. He breaks down how coordinated propaganda, public relations firms, and political alliances are being used to deny the religious nature of the attacks and shield those responsible from accountability.
The conversation examines how genocide denial is laundered through official talking points, why Western governments continue working with compromised Nigerian officials, and how terror is being used to clear land, destabilize populations, and enable outside economic interests.
Arnold also explains the human cost of this crisis, particularly the millions of displaced children facing radicalization without intervention, and why education and exposure are the most powerful tools for breaking the cycle of violence.
This episode cuts through the spin and lays out what is actually happening on the ground, why the narrative matters, and why ignoring it has global consequences.
