Nigeria: 'Christians Are Being Killed every week!

'Christians Are Being Killed': Critics Outraged at Biden Admin as Murder and Terror Rage in Nigeria

Dec 7, 2022

Religious freedom advocates are "outraged" and confounded after the Biden administration again declined to add Nigeria to the U.S. Department of State's Countries of Particular Concern list, a designation targeting nations restricting or complicit in religious freedom violations. 

Joel Veldkamp, head of international communications at persecution watchdog Christian Solidarity International (CSI), has been among those urging the State Department to reclassify Nigeria as a nation violating residents' religious liberty – but to no avail. Veldkamp told CBN's Faithwire the Biden administration's decision to ignore international outcry over the matter is stunning, particularly in light of the deadly assaults unfolding against Christians in Nigeria daily. 

"It's not an exaggeration," he said. "Every week, Christians are being killed in this country." Veldkamp shared how the release of the current Countries of Particular Concern was dropped on Friday afternoon, noting this is how "Washington killed news" by burying it at a time when fewer people are paying attention. Tragically, Veldkamp said he had spent the days before the release speaking with priests in Nigeria who witnessed and experienced the unthinkable. 

"Earlier in the week. I had talked to two different priests from two different states in Nigeria. Really one is in the middle of the country, and one is in the deep south of the country," he said. "One priest... had just visited a village where 20 Christians were killed the week before. He met a father who saw four of his children killed in front of his eyes." This same priest met another mother and father who lost one of their children and saw homes being burned. One of those interview subjects said, "I stood on the ashes of human beings."

Saints please pray for our brethren in Nigeria!

Genocide in Nigeria!

 

Our brethren in Nigeria are being slaughtered and the world sits by, does nothing.  The hatred of Christ has never stopped.

“The terrorists waylaid innocent and defenseless Christians,” Kwewum said. “These killings and destruction have become daily occurrences – and in several of the communities the terrorist attack, crops in the field are destroyed; houses including Christian worship centers are sometimes set ablaze.”

 The masacre continues unabated and the world turns their eyes away from whole families being murdered.   Pray for these Christians in Nigeria.

Nigeria led the world in Christians killed for their faith last year (Oct. 1, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2021) at 4,650, up from 3,530 the previous year, according to Open Doors’ 2022 World Watch List report. The number of kidnapped Christians was also highest in Nigeria, at more than 2,500, up from 990 the previous year, according to the WWL report.

America ignores "the least of these"

 Our fallen nation hates Christ and their silence in the face of the persecution of Christians around the world makes that more than evident.

America hates the image of God. (Child sacrifice)

America hates the holiness of God. (Objective moral standard)

America hates The Word of God. (The Bible)

America must repent.  These are the very signs of judgment upon our nation - our cold and callous hearts.

The USA has become a nation of pagan idolatry.

Our idols are many.  Repent and smash those idols wherever they are found in our hearts!

Matthew 25:

“Then He will also say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels; for I was hungry, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me nothing to drink;  I was a stranger, and you did not invite Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me.’  Then they themselves also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not take care of You?’ Then He will answer them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’  These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
