OPINION: There is no news story today that is more important than this video of a Nigerian pastor standing in a mass grave

Conservatives are flaming each other over a group chat and liberals are protesting "kings." Meanwhile, Christians in Nigeria are being hunted, murdered, and buried in silence.

Video has now emerged of an October 14th mass funeral. Most of these wooden coffins hold children and their mothers.

This heartbreaking mass burial of Christians - mostly children and their mothers, actually happened on the 14th. Nigeria will go down in history as the country that has drunken the most Christian blood in all of human history, with zero remorse. Loud shame pic.twitter.com/YTH8Wtcbtj— J. C. Okechukwu (@jcokechukwu) October 21, 2025

Take note of the caption on the video. Loud shame, indeed. But even louder silence.

Now watch this pastor - in yet another mass grave - as he stands next to the dead bodies of his brothers and sisters in Christ. Listen to his plea to the world.

Islamist terror groups like Boko Haram have been waging a brutal campaign against Nigeria's Christian population for a decade now. None of this is theoretical. It's happening right now. One Nigerian witness, visibly shaken, described the aftermath:

You are walking, unexpectedly you just stumble on human skull … you are walking unexpectedly on human skeletons … I've never thought that a day is coming where I will witness a 3-year-old baby will be slaughtered like a chicken.

Try reading that again, and experiencing that horror, without feeling it in your chest.

This is what real genocide looks like - not a viral post or a college protest, but mass graves and disappearing villages. And while Nigeria's Christians bury their dead, we in the West bury our conscience in the next political distraction.

This week it's a budget fight. Next week it's a social media spat. Meanwhile, believers on the other side of the world are paying for their faith with their lives.

Rep. Riley Moore of West Virginia recently made a chilling observation on Fox News:

We have been training and equipping the Nigerians in the hope that they were going to stop Boko Haram… well, that's not happening. I think there is a question that there's a collusion between the current Islamic government in Nigeria and these terrorist organizations that are killing Christians en masse.

This isn't random violence. It's targeted, ideological, and absolutely intentional.

The Christians of Nigeria are not aggressors. They build, farm, teach, worship, and for those things, they are marked for death. If this were happening anywhere else, to anyone else, the world would be in an uproar. But these are rural African Christians. So, we look away.

But they're not forgotten by God. And they shouldn't be forgotten by us.

We cannot let our comfort become apathy. While we argue politics, they bury their children. And that should break our hearts enough to act — to pray, to speak up, to give where we can, and to refuse to look away. May those of us who share their faith, share also their pain and their burden.

1) we need to ship them all the Winchesters and machetes they could ever want.

2) We give a cornucopia of weapons to the Israelis, Ukraine, Pakistan, and all of Europe. But nobody cares about Christians, especially black ones. Nobody cared about Syrian Christians either and we and the Israelis installed an ISIS leader there.

It appears that Islam is scourging all African Christians from southern Sudan, Nigeria, Uganda, Congo, Central African Republic, Mozambique, to South Africa. And Christians in North Korea, China, India, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Armenia aren’t faring much better. All while Christianity is collapsing In Northern/Western/Central Europe and Canada. Praying for a revival of orthodox Christianity in the U.S.

That seems to be an obvious solution, although the US intel-deep state would shut it down as soon as an effort began. Organizers would be in the Federal pen for the rest of their lives. They do not want ANY competition in the social-engineering and civil war business.

Great is their reward in Heaven which is eternal and everlasting. Yes, they lost whatever temporary rewards they may have had on earth, but their reword in heaven is eternal and everlasting.

Right now, they are happier than ever with their Savior and Redeemer Jesus Christ. We are the ones who mourn and are saddened by their massacre by crazy Islamist Jihadists.

This is a preview of what soon will come upon the whole world. Soon, but not yet.

No one cares for Christians BECAUSE American Christians don’t care.

They don’t kick up a fuss.

They don’t protest.

The head of the NYT a jew 40 years ago was APPALLED at the world wide Treatment of Christians and the silence of AMERICAN CHRISTIANS.

Still true today.

It is astounding and so tragic...not a peep out of anyone in our government about it. If it weren’t for the internet, we wouldn’t know it was happening. Thank you for posting.

Wasn’t Michelle obama years ago speaking about this? It doesn’t matter anymore to her??? Apparently not but it got her publicity at the time her husband was in office.

We had Nigerian neighbors - CHRISTIANS - until a few years ago when they moved to NM. He was a pastor and he came over to sit and talk with my husband before he passed away. When my husband was in the hospital, he told me to stay home and rest and he would go visit him one day.

I knew one also in CA when he came to to work for the company I worked for. CHRISTIAN and the nicest man who spoke with the most beautiful English..He would call me in the office and say, “XXX, this is XXX” and I would answer, “You don’t need to tell me who you are because no one else speaks that beautifully - I know your voice.”

Boy - do these people ever need more prayers!!!!!

It’s time to wipe the evil death cult known as ISlime from the face of the earth once and for all by any means necessary.

We knew a family, too, and they were good people. I wish these stories got more attention from the media. What’s happening there is horrible.
