Why the Killing of Christians in Nigeria Hasn't Stopped — And What You Can Do About It

This episode of 'Conversations That Matter' confronts the escalating violence against Christians in Nigeria, highlighting a systematic campaign of ethnic and religious persecution led by Fulani ethnic militias and enabled by a complicit Nigerian government. Judd Saul, CEO of Equipping the Persecuted, reveals that despite over 160 verified terror alerts issued by Truth Nigeria—accurate 93% of the time—authorities failed to act, resulting in over 170 Christian deaths during the Easter 2026 attacks. He exposes how the U.S. government’s focus on ISIS in Nigeria ignores the 80% of Christian killings attributed to Fulani militias and Boko Haram, while a $9 million Nigerian government lobbying effort in Washington, D.C. actively suppresses the narrative of genocide through influencers and media manipulation. The episode calls for urgent action, including passing the Nigeria Accountability Act, supporting on-the-ground organizations like Equipping the Persecuted and Truth Nigeria, and rejecting false narratives that frame the crisis as a political distraction tied to Israel. The host emphasizes moral responsibility, urging listeners to prioritize aid to persecuted Christians over domestic or geopolitical distractions, even at minimal personal cost.
