Genocide is not defined by how many people are killed, it's defined by the intent at erasure of a people / ethnicity.
10's of thousands of Christians is also not correct

More than 7,000 Christians had been killed in Nigeria during the first 220 days of 2025, a civil-society watchdog said.
And it's not just Christians
The violence has displaced at least 12 million Christians since 2009, according to Intersociety. That year marked the start of Boko Haram's insurgency to establish a caliphate in Nigeria and the broader Sahel.
In the 16 years since, Intersociety estimates that 189,000 civilians have been killed—125,000 of whom were Christians and 60,000 liberal Muslims.
Yes Nigeria has many rights violations as well

Nigeria is responsible for grave and systematic violations of women’s and girls’ rights amid multiple mass abductions, the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) has found. The Committee highlighted that 91 Chibok schoolgirls are still held captive or missing ten years on, while survivors continue to suffer trauma and stigma without adequate support.

Mosque attack which killed 44 should be ‘wake-up call’, says rights chief

In recent years, the Sahel has seen a major uptick in violence, following the expansion of armed groups linked to al-Qaeda and ISIL terrorist groups which took over territory in north Mali following the 2012 Tuareg rebellion there.
Since then, the violence has spread into neighbouring countries, Niger and Burkina Faso, and more recently into some other coastal West African nations.
UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed characterised the Sahel as “ground zero” for one of the most brutal security crises in the world.
Despite efforts by Member States, terrorism-related deaths in the region have reportedly soared past 6,000 for three consecutive years, making up more than half of all global fatalities.
Oh and look at the origins
Niger shares a long, approximately 1,500-kilometer (930-mile) border with Nigeria to its south. This border, established by colonial powers France and Britain, cuts through densely populated regions and is a significant cultural and logistical connection between the two landlocked West African nations.
It's a civil war but could indeed turn into genocide. However it's not just Christians that are under attack.
HENCE it's so important International law doesn't die with Gaza!
The ICC is dragging their feet in Nigeria as well
Nigeria: Despite a disappointing ICC ruling, northeast Nigeria’s victims and survivors are urging the Prosecutor to finally act
https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/afr44/0143/2025/en/
In a regrettable decision on 16 June 2025, the majority of the ICC Pre-Trial Chamber found it lacked the power to make a finding on the Prosecution’s obligations under Article 15(3) of the Rome Statute in the case of Nigeria. This followed a complaint submitted by Amnesty International on 2 December 2024, on behalf of thousands of victims from the Jire Dole Networks in north-east Nigeria, where Boko Haram and the Nigerian army committed crimes under international law. The complaint argued that the Prosecutor had a duty to request the opening of an investigation after concluding in 2020 that there was a reasonable basis to proceed.
But if you believe the US / Christian propaganda then there's a white genocide in South Africa as well...
The difference with Gaza is the overwhelming consensus among human rights groups, genocide scholars, Israel's own human rights group B'Tselem, the ICJ, the UN, all agree on genocide being committed in Gaza. Next to man made famine, ethnocide, open apartheid, illegal detentions etc.
Anyway, Nigeria =/= Gaza, totally different situation.
