Since Christmas, over 100 Nigerian Christians have been slaughtered for their faith in Jesus Christ.
Muslim extremists in Plateau State have attacked over 26 villages since December 23 and have killed nearly 200 Christians during these brutal attacks.
Rev. Johnnie Moore took to X and wrote, “There was yet another Christmas massacre of Christians in Nigeria yesterday. The world is — silent. Just unbelievable,”
Lawmakers who have been very vocal on the Israel-Palestine issue have been very silent when it comes to addressing Christians being slaughtered.

Per Christian Today:
At least 140 Nigerian Christians were killed over the Christmas holiday.
Attacks on 26 villages in Plateau State began December 23, led by suspected extremists among Fulani Muslim herdsman against Christian farming communities. Some media reports cite nearly 200 dead, with many missing as local residents fled from gunmen into the bush.
Grace Godwin was preparing Christmas Eve dinner when her husband burst in with news from the neighboring village, ordering her and the children into the fields. Rebecca Maska similarly took cover but was shot and bled for three hours until help arrived, while her son had his hand chopped off with a machete before escaping. Magit Macham dragged his wounded brother to safety and hid overnight until the attackers moved on.
“These attacks have been recurring,” Macham told Reuters, having returned home from the regional capital of Jos to celebrate Christmas. “They want to drive us out of our ancestral land.”
For years, violence has plagued the West African nation’s Middle Belt, where a predominantly Muslim north intersects with a predominantly Christian south. Land right issues are also contested, as semi-nomadic cattle herders press against settled agrarian hamlets in Africa’s most-populous nation.

Here’s what the New York Post reported:
A never-ending massacre of Christians being “killed for sport” is reportedly happening in Nigeria, yet the world appears to be largely deaf to the matter.
While much of the world this week has been celebrating a beginning – Christmas, the birth of Jesus Christ – in Nigeria they are mourning the end of life – the deaths of more than 100 Christians – as the world remains virtually silent.
Armed bandits ran amok, according to Amnesty International, in some 20 communities across central Nigeria, killing more than 140. In a country where accurate statistics are traditionally hard to come by, some sources have put the death toll closer to 200.
The Christians were killed in a wide swath across an invisible line that separates the mostly Muslim north and the predominately Christian south in the country’s Plateau State. According to multiple sources, Christians represent 46% of Nigeria’s population.
“There was yet another Christmas massacre of Christians in Nigeria yesterday. The world is — silent. Just unbelievable,” tweeted leading evangelist the Rev. Johnnie Moore on X, formerly Twitter.
Nigerian Christians getting slaughtered and you don’t see the Squad caring about human rights or black lives mattering. The entire discourse is fake. It’s embarrassing to believe anyone is operating under anything close to universally applicable moral principles.
