A Nigerian Muslim reflects on the importance of mothers and the pain of their absence, using the Hausa phrase 'uwa a gindin murhu' to illustrate a mother's care. The writer expresses alarm at President Trump's threat of a 'guns-blazing' invasion to stop an alleged 'Christian genocide' in Nigeria, calling it a dangerous distortion that erases the suffering of Nigerian Muslims. The piece argues that the violence in Nigeria is a complex web of terrorism, resource conflicts, and criminality, not a religious war. Framing it as a one-sided genocide ignores the bloodshed of many.
