It wouldn’t be at all surprising if among Boko Haram there were “white men, Asians, Africans,” for contrary to the Western establishment narrative that Islam is a race and opposition to jihad violence and Sharia oppression is “racism,” actually jihad warfare is based on Islamic doctrine, and that doctrine can be and is held by people of all races. People of all races can be jihadis and are jihadis, and jihadis in the past traveled from all over the world to Bosnia and Kosovo, Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria and elsewhere in order to be on the front lines of the jihad. There is no reason why some wouldn’t travel to Nigeria as well.
But Christians? This strains credulity well beyond the breaking point. Why would Christians join a jihad group that routinely victimizes their fellow Christians and would subjugate Christians as inferiors under the rule of Islamic law? There are foolish people everywhere who do self-defeating things, and so even this is possible, but it seems unlikely.
“Zulum: Some Boko Haram militants are white men, Asians and Christians,” by Femi Owolabi, The Cable, January 17, 2021:
Babagana Zulum, governor of Borno, says there are white men, Asians and Christians in the ranks of Boko Haram.
Boko Haram is seeking to establish an Islamic caliphate in Nigeria.
For over a decade, Borno and other states in the north-east have suffered attacks from Boko Haram insurgents, where thousands have been killed and over two million people displaced.
While speaking at the 17th Gani Fawehinmi annual lecture in Lagos, Zulum said the security challenge in Borno poses a danger to every part of the country and everybody must come together to fight it.
“I’m from Borno state, and many of our children are into Boko Haram. I’m not denying the fact. But again, they are being sponsored by many people across the world. Among Boko Haram, we have white men, Asians, Africans, Muslims and Christians,” he said….

What Christian will join a group of Islamic terrorists who kill Christians? These guys can’t get enough of lying.
rooare says
Boko Haram is an Islamic organization and no one can be a Christian and a Muslim at the same time therefore no members of the Boko Haram jihadis are real Christians.

I don’t rule it out: just like there are Jews like Stanley Cohen who rep Hamas, similarly there are Christians, Hindus and others who happily participate in the Jihad b’cos they’re so woke!

Some people claim to be Christian, but they prove by their “fruit” that they are not Christian.
‘o’ said he was Christian, but he was lying behind that snarky, snake grin, and the lie came right out of his mouth in order to smear Christians and as a pretense so Christians who were unaware would still vote for him.
Some of the people of boko haram terrorist group may have laid claim to being Christian, but if this is so…and I don’t believe this fool for as long as it takes me to write this sentence…then those ones are “rotten trees producing rotten fruit,” and are liars.
One day, Christ will return and then everyone will see that many have lied and claimed to be His, when they are not. “I will confess to them, I never knew you. Get away from me, you lawless ones.” (Matthew 7:23)

Here’s another thought. The phenomenon of “generational” cults with warped occult or satanist practices, while not widespread, is not entirely “conspiracy theory” or fantasy as some would have us believe. As a cult investigator and author, I met a number of credible survivors. Frequently they tell of the cult assuming a false Christian front to the community as cover for their activities. Again, there you are not getting genuine Christians or likely even bizarre misinterpretations. It’s cover-up plain and simple. And it can produce very warped people who might claim to be “Christian” but do not in any way fit the definition.

I just think this guy is lying. It’s a ‘cover’ so not so much criticism of islam and moslims if one can lump a bunch of others in as guilty too.

I can’t find a *single* reference to a Christian member of Boko Haram. If even one existed, you’d think Muslim apologists would be all over it.
somehistory says
He’s just lying to take the heat off. For years, moslims have been slaughtering Christians there, and boko haram has not only been in on that, but kidnapping and raping little girls and strapping bombs to some of them and sending them to kill.
If he can get people to believe that others are guilty, even some Christians, then he believes moslims won’t look so bad to the outside world.
It’s similar to when the terror attacks occur and then moslims bring up the Crusades, as though they are a current thing. Only worse, because he’s attempting to make Christians a party to the slaughter and kidnapping of other Christians.

Just like some people claim to be Republican Patriots, and storm the Capitol, when they are really Antifa dressed up in Maga clothing.

Can anyone tell me why God is putting so many of us through utter misery? Answers on a postage stamp.

It’s a criminal enterprise with a high instance of sadistic violence. It’s not surprising that it might attract psychos of all colors and origins. (True, I’ve seen some weird and extreme Christian cultists in times past, but boko haram is outrageous even for them.)
b.a. freeman says
zulum should know about christians; U can tell that he is one, because of his traditional christian dress …
i call bulls**t; he’s practicing taqiyyah to fool the lying nazi media, who won’t bother checking his words.

………………….
Why would Christians join a group that wants then all dead?
David says
Well, muslims kill other muslims. Weirdly some Christians convert to islam, and become zealots.
As you probably know, Muhammad was a white man.
