Over 1,200 Christians killed in Nigeria in first half of 2020 - human rights group
https://www.christiantoday.com/article/o...135202.htm

EXCERPT: . . . The perpetrators are Islamist militants and members of the predominantly Muslim Fulani group. The report attributes 390 of the deaths to radical Islamist groups like Boko Haram and the Islamic State West Africa Province, both of which are linked to ISIS.

EXCERPTS: . . . It’s that potential interaction which has become the focus of a scholarly analysis now published in the Human Resource Management journal. [...] One prominent theme to emerge from the research is the great extent to which people select their career specifically because it aligns with their religious observance, particularly among those who pursue jobs in caregiving and customer service where “religious identity can be experienced as a strength that enhances empathy in difficult professional situations”.

[...] They are both contrasting instances of a similar phenomenon whereby an employee’s religious identity and occupational identity are well matched. A mismatch arises when an employer views religion as “irrational or emotional with no place in a modern organisation”, thereby compelling team members to constrain their religious expression and to “believe their own religious identity is not respected”.

[...] Among the more curious internalised conflicts is the one that occurs when an employee has a very strong evidence-based job, like a scientist or engineer, which demands objectivity and empiricism that are uncommonly related to a belief in a god (hence the term ‘faith’). In these contexts employees usually compartmentalise the two seemingly contradictory aspects of their identity. While such an approach makes it easier to cope in the short term, there’s a dearth of research on the sustainability of this co-existence over the longer term.

[...] From the perspective of the employer, there are certainly proven benefits to accommodating the preferences of religious employees. These include greater rates of loyalty, productivity, sales growth and motivation, as well as more-frequent acts of helpful behaviour and compassion towards clients and peers.
