Trump warns Nigeria over Christian killings; many welcome move

Yeah, welcome the move. Big deal. More words, more wind, more promises made, yet where is the action behind the words? Why speak if having no intention of living up to the words spoken? But this is how things are in such a time as this.

People loved the words coming from the Supreme Court when they did a 180-degree about-face on their opinion of Roe v Wade, and folks rejoiced, proclaiming the premeditated murder of American children would come to an end, or greatly decline — but the facts are that there have been more premeditated murders of American children in the womb than BEFORE that opinion was rendered!

But words distract and soothe, don’t they?

As for me? I prefer reality. The facts. The truth. And most words only move the air around a bit and make the hammers in the ears pound, making a sound, as the words are almost always empty. Hollow. No real action behind them. Not when it comes to the slaughter and rape of Christians, or the premeditated murder of American children in the womb.

Think I’m hard on our president? Well, he shouldn’t keep saying the things he does with no intent on following up on them, taking the appropriate actions. Christian persecution in Nigeria, Iran, the economy, and on and on and on, the words flow. To what result? What end?

Say a lot. Constantly. Act like king of the world, always talking, always saying what’s going to happen, and then? Nothing. No follow-up. Just more words about something else to distract.

Meanwhile, the slaughter of Christians in Nigeria continues. Almost daily.

And nothing is done. Except for more words, empty, more wind with no movement behind it. Just more and more words. And more and more killings of Christians in Nigeria.

Anyone paying attention? Anyone care?

By their fruit they are known, and it’s very clear that no world leader, no nation, and almost all the people on earth don’t care to do a thing about the continuing persecution of Christians in Nigeria.

Such is our time.

But keep listening to all the [empty] words spoken, promises made with no intention of backing up the words. What’s so different from the many, many words of President Trump and that old deluded cogger that was in the Oval Office before him, always saying, “Don’t, don’t, don’t?”

Nothing.

Except one talks a lot more than the other one did.

Words don’t stop evil. Unless those words come from a mouth in which the Holy Spirit is at work, in a heart changed by faith in Jesus Christ. Otherwise, words fall flat, fail, and have no impact on evil, on terrorism.

But then, when those speaking all the empty words refuse to learn about real history, don’t believe in history and only believe in their great imagined power, not giving God the glory — like Nebuchadnezzar — what are we to truly expect?

Islamists Kill 28 Christians, Including a Pastor, In Nigeria Village Raid

(Worthy News) – Islamists attacked a Christian village in Plateau state, Nigeria, early Monday, killing 28 Christians, including a pastor, after reportedly being guided toward the homes of church leaders, according to Christian Daily International-Morning Star News.

The assault took place at about 2 a.m. on June 22 in Kawel village, Bokkos County, when armed Islamist Fulani terrorists stormed the community while residents were sleeping.

“We were inside our houses when the Fulani herdsmen invaded our village,” resident Jesse Peter Dukut told Christian Daily International-Morning Star News. “If anyone came out of their houses, they were shot at sight. And a sound from any of the houses in the village attracts shooting from the terrorists.”

Dukut said phone and telecommunications services had been cut, preventing villagers from calling security agencies for help as the attack unfolded.

According to Dukut, the attackers spoke in both Fulani and Hausa and were heard calling out the names of Christian leaders while directing others to hunt them down in their homes. He said the attackers appeared to be guided by local Fulani herdsmen from nearby villages.

“They killed my uncle and brothers,” Dukut said. “I narrowly escaped being shot.”

Among those killed was the Rev. Markus Nyam, pastor of the Church of Christ in Nations congregation in Kawel village. Resident Godswill Nuhu said members of Nyam’s congregation were also killed in the attack.

Church leaders in Bokkos confirmed the pastor’s death in a statement, saying they had received the news “with deep sadness.”

“Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends and the entire community during this difficult time,” the statement said. “May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace. Amen!”

The attack is the latest in a long wave of violence against Christian farming communities in Nigeria’s Middle Belt, where believers have repeatedly suffered deadly raids, church burnings, land seizures and abductions.

Christian leaders in Nigeria have long warned that many of the attacks are not merely disputes over land or grazing routes, but are tied to a broader campaign of religious persecution, forced displacement and Islamic expansion in Christian-majority communities.

According to Open Doors’ 2026 World Watch List, more Christians were killed in Nigeria than in any other country from Oct. 1, 2024, to Sept. 30, 2025. Of the 4,849 Christians killed worldwide for their faith during that period, 3,490 were Nigerians, representing 72 percent of the global total. Nigeria ranked No. 7 among the 50 countries where it is most difficult to be a Christian.
