Well, tonight we step into the reality that most of the world would rather ignore. Because while we gather freely, while we worship openly, while we lift our hands without fear, there are believers, our brothers and sisters in Nigeria, who are risking their lives simply to say the name of Jesus. And this isn't theory, this isn't an exaggeration. It is happening right now. Nigeria has become one of the most dangerous places in the world to follow Christ. In fact, reports show that more Christians are killed for their faith in Nigeria than the entire rest of the world combined. Like, just let that sink in for a minute. Last year alone, out of nearly 5,000 Christians killed globally, over 3,400 were in Nigeria. That's 70% of all Christian martyrdom across the world. And those numbers are not slowing down. And just the first part of 2025, over 7,000 Christians were killed in Nigeria, which is an average of 30 believers every single day. That's more than one every hour. Families destroyed, churches burned, villages emptied. Since 2009, it's estimated that over 50,000 Christians have been killed, and thousands of churches have been attacked or destroyed. These aren't just statistics. These are pastors, these are mothers, these are children, these are people just like us who love Jesus, who love to gather to worship, who believe in the power of the gospel. And they are being targeted by extremist groups like Boko Haram, ISIS-affiliated militants, and armed Felani fighters who are determined to silence the name of Jesus across entire regions. Entire communities are being displaced. Tens of thousands have been driven from their homes. And yet, despite all of this, the global church has largely remained silent. A few months ago, I had the honor of standing at the United States Capitol hosting the crimes against Christians at the summit. We had congressmen, senators there, leaders in the body of Christ. Right there in the halls of power, we lifted up the voices of the persecuted church. We shared these stories, we presented these facts. We called on leaders on the media and on the church of America to wake up. Because this isn't just a Nigerian issue. This is a body of Christ issue. When one part suffers, every part suffers with it. And tonight we refuse to look away. We refuse to be distracted. We refuse to let our brothers and sisters bleed in silence. Because the church in Nigeria is not weak. They are strong, they are faithful, they are on fire for Jesus. Even in the face of terror, they gather. Even in the face of death, they worship. Even in the face of persecution, they refuse to deny his name. And now this Palm Sunday, I'm not just going to talk about it anymore. But guys, I'm going. I'm going to stand with them. I'm going to see it all with my own eyes. I'm going to hear the stories. I'm going to worship alongside of them. And I want to bring awareness. I want to stir prayer. I want to strengthen the church on the ground because they are not alone. And tonight, right now, we begin. We lift up Nigeria. We lift up the persecuted church. We lift up the name of Jesus of every village, every family, every believer standing in the fire. This is breakthrough hour, and we will not be silent. So coming live from Nigeria, this is breakthrough hour, and we are going on location on the ground to stand with the persecuted church of Nigeria. And guys, I am coming to you live from Nigeria. And I'm here with my really, really great friend, Joseph Okuchuku. Okuchu. His last name always gets me. Okuchuku. And uh man, it's been a while past couple days. Um, but I'm uh we want to share with you what's going on here from the ground in Nigeria. Joseph is in an amazing. I'm gonna let him introduce himself in a minute and share all the things he's doing. But uh, this is a timely uh show. This is a timely message, this is a timely moment, and we do not want to stand by and do nothing with what's taking place here to Christians in Nigeria.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I agree with you, Sean, and thank you for visiting. Um people like us have been on the journey for such a long time. Of course, my name is Joseph Okechuku, and um I'm an Hollywood film actor and activist. And um yeah, I have been on this journey for a very, very long time trying to raise awareness, trying to let people know what is going on in Nigeria. I mean, I don't have a lot of friends because of the stance that I take. Yes, I come up, I come up as the fearless one who is ready to risk anything just to tell the truth about the situation. And if you look at across all my social media handles, all the people who follow me, 99% of them do that because they believe that when they come to my channel or my handle, they're gonna hear the truth, the raw, undiluted truth. Yeah, and that's why I was very excited that you finally managed to come to Nigeria because of the way we connected in the States and you wanted to come see things for yourself. And uh maybe you should tell people what happened to you on your first day of arriving in Nigeria.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, yeah. I mean, it was, as many of you know, we hosted a summit uh called Crimes Against Christians. This happened uh several months ago in the U.S. Capitol, uh, and it was really focused on the response to the rising persecution in Nigeria. Um, I mean, it just reached a point of critical mass where even Bill Maher and people like that were talking about it, right? They were forced to talk about it.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_01And uh so we held a summit with senators and congressmen and activists really calling for the U.S. to do something, which I'm so grateful the president did. And they took a stance, you know, they even they even launched some missiles at you know the terrorists, and and and so we're we're grateful for that. However, I wanted to actually come and see it for myself. I wanted to take, you know, stand on the ground here and hear the real reports, you know. And so we landed yesterday, uh, flew all night, landed yesterday, and in typical Africa fashion, they're like, as soon as you land, we're bringing you to a church service. So uh I went right to a Palm Sunday uh church service, which was just a beautiful time, and got the got to lead worship and just be with amazing people, just loving on Jesus. It was packed, it was it was amazing. And then that night, last night, an attack happened on Palm Sunday again. And this happened actually in a town called Jos, which is you know hours from here, but it's it's a town that I know people that live in and have friends that have ministries. One that I don't think would people even think of being attacked. Yeah, and uh and they were Christians were slaughtered again last night. And so you're seeing the news of that, it's it's starting to get out there. Um, but at the same time, there's the Iran war, and there's a lot of stuff battling for attention, and it feels like it's getting buried, like it's not even getting the traction that it should. Yeah, you know, more people are angry that the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, you know, wasn't allowing services in the middle of this war than they were the fact that dozens of Christians were murdered in the street again in one day on Palm Sunday. And so maybe just I would love for you to explain to me and to everybody watching about this conflict, just the history of it. Like you know so much, and you've advocated, you've met, you've gone to the US several times, you've met with members of Congress, you've given them intel. Yeah, maybe for just your average American that doesn't understand the dynamics, can you break it down?
SPEAKER_00Okay, so first of all, before I even go into that, I remember when you were about to come to Nigeria, you made a video. And in that video, you were talking about going to catch a flight, and then you talked about how that on Palm Sunday last year, about 51 or so were killed. Right. And you were asking people to pray that something like that doesn't happen again this year. Right, yeah. And while you're on ground, it repeated itself. Yeah, it happened again. So there's there's a kind of um there is a pattern to what is happening.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_00You know, initially when this whole thing started, everybody went like, oh, well, it's farmers and herders having clashes. Some people say, oh, it is uh climate change, like Reuters would report.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Reuters was reporting is climate change, and that's mainstream narrative, which is a lie. Right. Because if you really want to know the truth, you will come on ground and see people. Sean in Nigeria, Nigeria, I have to tell you, is a predominantly Christian nation. Mainstream media has sold a lie to people to say it's either 50-50 or predominantly Muslim. It's a lie. Nigeria is predominantly Christian. Evidently, predominantly Christian. Wow. And we had an election where two Muslims contested, and you had a Muslim president and a Muslim and a Muslim vice president because they don't care about the Christian population. And this has happened for such a long time. Look at what is going on with the church when this killing started, and like I was saying earlier, they were saying it's herders and farmers. People on ground were saying, no, it's not farmers and herders. There is a pattern. The guys are killing mostly Christians. They will kill Christians who are worshiping inside the church, kill the choirs, the decoristers, and then put on their garment and use it to mock their God inside the church. Dance on their blood and mock. It's almost like a ritual, satanic ritual sacrifice. This is how they kill the people.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_00So is either they're killing Christians or they are abducting Christians in hundreds. And when we say abduction, people think it's just abducting adults, they're abducting babies. Yeah, they violate them, yeah, they turn them to slaves, yeah, and then they massacre at will. How is it that when you have up to, say, for instance, a hundred attacks, 98 is on Christians?
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_00If Muslims get killed, most of the time it's collateral damage, or maybe because they feel like these ones are just too liberal.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_00But 98% of the attacks are on Christians. How is this farmers and herders having crisis? Right. How is this supposed to be about um climate change?
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_00This was why President Trump, way back in 2020, during his first term, slammed the CPC label on Nigeria.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_00And said, Nigeria, country of particular concern. He gave it to Nigeria. Meanwhile, the president of Nigeria, then, the then president Mohammed Guerre, who is a hard line, a hard line, like a we call him a jihadist president because he was a fundamentalist. Yeah. Right? He, everything he thought about was his Islamic faith. And so this guy came to visit President Trump in 2018, and President Trump looked him in the face and said, Why are you killing Christians in Nigeria? The situation was so bad at the time that people thought, before you know it, they're gonna kill all the Christians. And he slammed it. Guess what happened? The very next year, 2020, when Biden won the election, less than one year in office, Biden had instructed Blinken, the then Secretary of State, to go and remove the CPC label on Nigeria. Yeah. Claiming that there was nothing like Christian genocide or religious persecution against Christians in Nigeria. And the moment that label was removed, Nigerian terrorists grew wings and they were more emboldened to even kill the more. Wow. And now the killing went to another level to the point that the Bill Mayhers of this world would have to get involved for the world to get to know what is happening in Nigeria while we are crying over Gaza. You go to the media, you hear Ajaze and the rest of them saying, Oh, about 70,000 has been killed in Gaza. No, but we have 125 going to 130,000 killed in Nigeria.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_00You're calling Gaza 70,000 a genocide, but you are still thinking of what do we call this Nigeria's 130,000 dead already? And you know the death is because of their faith. Right, nothing else. Yes. Because they tell them clearly before they kill them, they shout their so-called Allahu Akbar and they kill them and they say, You have to deny your faith. What about Leah Sharibu, that popular girl? Right. Leah Sharibu refused to deny her faith and they took her.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_00It is clear, everybody knows what is motivating this. Yeah. It is because of who you are as a Christian.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Why are we having a lot of difficulty accepting the situation for what it is? Yeah. Why? Is it because they are Africans?
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Is it because it is Nigeria? Is it because I just don't, I can't wrap my head around it. Sometimes that's why when I see people like you who are able to come out and speak up and say something and do something, it gives me joy. I was talking to you, I told you how that I've lost appetite for a very long time. I don't eat a lot again because this thing worries me so much. I don't sleep at night. Yeah, I think about it so much.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_00I went to Riley Moore, I sat down with him, we had a lot of conversation. And I was thanking him for even having the kind of passion that he's had for persecuted Christians in Nigeria because so many people don't care, but I have seen his passion is raw and it is real. There's no denying it. Understand? And so when I saw you, I was thanking God for you. And I was saying to you in the car, remember, I say, Sean, what you're seeing is nothing. While you're here, you're gonna see more events happening that you won't see in the media. And as if I knew it was gonna happen while you were sitting down there, you didn't even come to me. The imagery came to you. Yeah, they sent you the video and I noticed how you struggled emotionally when you saw that video. Something literally broke in you.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_00So to people who do not understand, we are facing as Christians in Nigeria an existential threat. Yeah, there's a good reason Nigeria is now the worst place, the most dangerous place to be a Christian. Be a Christian. It is not a Christian, it's not like someone just made it up. It is reality. You come on ground, you see it.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_00No, no, the plateau state that they just killed people now. Predominantly Christian, they're trying to change the demographics.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_00In Benwest state, predominantly Christian, they're trying to change the demographics.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_00All the predominantly Christian states in the northern part of Nigeria, they want to change the demographics so that they become they lean more towards Islam by force. Fear. And through fear. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Hey, I mean, he's right. Everything he's saying, I think, you know, what I want to reiterate is just that when that happened last night, I was getting, you know, real images from people on the ground where it was happening. Yeah. The news really hadn't broke yet. I was posting and sharing about it, and people were saying, oh, that's that's images from 2025. That's what that's from the last attack. Don't bring that up. Literally, I'm like, no, no. This literally just happened. Oh, I don't see the news. I don't see it on any of the media. I'm like, that's because they don't care. Yeah. You won't see it until we make enough noise where they have to talk about it. Even as we stand here today, even as we sit and we talk, like this, what this attack that happened yesterday still hasn't hit mainstream American media at all. And and it happened on Palm Sunday. And it's literally, you know, and there's so much that I want to talk to you about because I feel your passion. And I'm like, definitely never going to be the same after this trip for sure. But I want to understand why it seems, you know, 7,000 Christians massacred. If you look at the numbers, and that's just what we know of. That's not even ones that we don't know of, right? Yeah. Now, just so everyone understands, that number puts Nigeria number one in the world by far of the highest curse of persecution. But it also, if you go back to last year, it it lets us realize that this accounts for 70 to 75 percent of all of the martyrs in all of the world. Yes. All of them, 75%, 70, 75% have happened in this country. And we are just sitting here scrolling through the news in real time while an actual genocide is taking place. What do you feel like are the barriers to why it's just not gripping the hearts of people?
SPEAKER_00Uh so sabotage, uh deception, a lot of lies, a lot of about faith. So I'll tell you something because I like to go down straight to the point, right? Let's not beat about the bush. You know, recently something happened in Nigeria. Uh there is no sincerity in Nigeria's so-called determination to fight against this evil. Yeah. There's no sincerity in that. So we woke up one day and we realized that Nigerian government had spent 9.0 million dollars for lobbyists in America, for guys to lobby in DC to make Nigeria look good. To make Nigeria look good, to deny the fact that there is Christian persecution going on in Nigeria. They initially started with, oh, well, Muslims get killed too. And then we're like, okay, if Muslims get killed too, does it make it right? Right. Do we not all agree that 90 plus percent of those who get killed are Christians? Right. Is there any sane person who doesn't understand that this is a planned, premeditated, genocidal attack on the Christian, on a particular group of people, on a count of their faith? So they are not sincere about trying to end the carnage. Another thing is that you have so many people in authority who have been implicated as having some type of ties or connection with the criminal elements who kill our people. And you wonder why and how is this possible? So many people have been outed. In Nigeria, Sean, this is gonna shock you. In Nigeria, we have something that the former president of Nigeria introduced, a very demonic, satanic program. It is called Operation Safe Corridor, where these same terrorists who kill, you know how they kill people? I told you it's like satanic sacrifice. Yeah, pregnant women don't get killed straight. They disembowel them and take out the baby, and then they kill the baby in their womb. I mean, we have videos. I can show you, you'll get tired of videos. We have like hundreds of videos, thousands of them. Babies get killed, they cut them out. Some of them they cut their tongue and pull it out. They they don't kill you in a very they don't kill you with respect. It's almost like you're sacrificing, they dismember people. Yeah, as recently as a few weeks ago, they did that, dismembered people. But Nigeria had the audacity to create a program, Operation Safe Corridor, aka Repentant Terrorist Program, where they take these terrorists and claim they want to rehabilitate them and then send them to some VIP tent somewhere, give them everything they need. Full. Water, drink, and everything, and even give them money and good clothing and everything. A few months later, they bring them out in their numbers, hundreds, and say, Hey, these ones now have repented. And guess what they do? They send them out and say, Now you are going to be re-integrated into the society like every other person, and you're free to join the military, you're free to join the police, you're free to join immigration. In fact, you can even become presidents in Nigeria. They tell the repentant Boko. And what we have found out is that 90-something percent of them are not repentant. If I don't even think any one of them repents, of course. They still hold loyalty for their commanders in the bush. But guess what? So many of these same people have now been moved into the military, and they are going to keep on sabotaging the military. And that's why we've seen soldiers in Nigeria who come out making videos. Can you imagine an active duty soldier making a video? You can tell that he's had it up to here. So he's now making a video saying, look, we are dying because we have terrorists who shouldn't be in the army wearing uniforms, fighting with us. These are guys we should be killing, but they are standing beside us, knowing all our operational details and everything. Why won't we be sabotaged?
SPEAKER_01And they just get massacred.
SPEAKER_00They just get massacred.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00I told you how that before I went to see Riley Mo. A soldier called me. He said, I am quitting. Can you give me money? I want to sign off and leave the army. He said, I said, What happened? What happened? He said, I want to send you a picture. I showed you that picture. Yeah. It was about 50 or so of his comrades killed in one fell suit. I mean, how do you deal with that? So we keep doing, and then you now see.
SPEAKER_01And I talk to that soldier, too. Thank you.
SPEAKER_00You talk to that soldier in the car, you see. And now you have senior officials in the Tinibu administration, two of them that have come out on record. One says the terrorists are supposed to be our brothers. And then the other one in uniform came out and said, we should be sympathetic to the terrorists. We shouldn't be too harsh with them. And as he finishes the statement, the next minute, terrorists have gone to kill about dozens of Christians somewhere. So I'm asking, how are you claiming that you are fighting terrorists? You're asking America to send you weapons. You're asking people that you're fighting them, but then you are not able to fight them. You hear soldiers telling you that look, we see the terrorists, we want to fire at them, and we don't get the order to fire. They won't let them fire at them. They've made videos to the videos are everywhere. Look, I am seeing the terrorists that you say I'm in the bush to kill. I want to kill them. They say they don't get order. That don't try it, don't fire. So what are they doing in the bush? They are only being sacrificed. So for as long as we don't have an overhaul systemic change, there are some evil cabals at the top of this whole thing, this whole uh value chain that are controlling it. If we don't dismantle that from top to bottom, Sean, this is never, ever, ever gonna end. Christians are gonna keep dying until you wake up one day and realize that this once predominantly Christian nation is now 1000% a Muslim nation. Yeah. And we don't hate Muslims, we love our Muslims. But stay in your lane and allow the Christians to stay in their lane and worship who they want to worship. Right.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_00This is what we are begging for. Is that too much to ask for?
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_00You stay worship your God and I worship my God. Why must you want me to convert? I don't want to convert to your religion. But we are watching this thing happen.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_00They tell you if you do not convert, we're gonna kill you. And even if we don't kill you, you're gonna remain a slave to us forever.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_00And this is what is happening in Nigeria. Wow. And the whole world looks the other way. I showed you a video where about a hundred were massacred because they kidnapped them and were asking for too much money from the government. And when the government delayed to bring the money, they put all of them in a pit and massacred all of them. This is how people get killed in Nigeria. The flowing of innocent blood is ceaseless, it flows every day. So if the change must happen, it has to be holistic. All these guys who are saying we're fighting, we're fighting, they're paying leap service. They're not really doing anything. And that's why Nigerians are overwhelmingly frustrated about this.
SPEAKER_01And and the and the Islamification, I mean, they have their sights on Nigeria. They want to take over Nigeria as they have so many other nations. We've talked about that. Egypt. Used to be Christian. Used to be Christian. Okay. Syria. Yeah. All of these, all of these countries. Yeah. And Nigeria has minerals, resources, oil. I mean, this country, we've been talking about it. Nobody should be poor in this country. With the amount of resources that are here.
SPEAKER_00So I have done, so I'm a I have this podcast I do on YouTube, and I have done a lot of research in my life. Yeah. I am one of the few who know exactly how rich Nigeria is. And I can bet my life, not a single Nigerian is supposed to be poor. If not for the wickedness of corrupt leaders who are being influenced from outside to destroy the destinies of the millions of their own citizens. And this evil that is going on, this terrorism is all part of it. Blood mineral, blood oil, money, and all of that. This is all part of it. Nigerians are supposed to be wealthy. But guess why people are so scared? I was making a video the other time and I was telling them, you know why everyone is panicking about terrorists taking over? Because now they're taking over from the far north. They come into middle belt. And if they finish middle belt, they now go to eastern Nigeria. Eastern Nigeria is where you have the old Biafra, right? The guys who fought the Biafra War. In that place, you can still, in the northern part of Nigeria, you have Muslims, you have Christians. In the western part of Nigeria, you have Muslims and Christians. But Eastern Nigeria are like Israelites, they're like Jews. They do not allow any ideological penetration in their region. Islam has not penetrated even up to 0.1% in eastern Nigeria. It is almost 100% Christian, and then the remaining animists. They're not allowing it at all. So they set their eyes on eastern Nigeria. Wow. They set their eyes on the Biafra, that if we can finish all those places and we get to Biafra, we will kill, starve, and do whatever we can to subdue them and convert them. Because the moment they convert Biafra, which is where most of Nigeria's oil wealth is, which is the old Eastern region, it's now politically called Southeastern, South South, okay? But it used to be old eastern region. If they set their eyes there and they're able to capture that place, they will have enough money to carry out the Islamic terrorism to every single spot on the continent of Africa. They will fund it.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_00They will fund it. If that money gets into their hands, if that power gets into their hands, they can fund Islamization of Africa with their eyes closed. Yeah. Because Nigeria has that much money. Right.
SPEAKER_01Nigeria has so much money. And that's the geopolitical ramifications of why people need to wake up. Why people need to wake up? Because, and here's the thing exactly what you're saying, elections have consequences. And so we have already talked about you and I about how Obama initially propped up a lot of these guys. Yes. Right. And a lot of Americans don't know that. I mean, he was behind the scenes instrumental in setting up this whole, you know, Islamification takeover of Nigeria. Yes. And then you had, you know, Trump come in and things, you know, kind of stalled there for a minute, you know, and he had that confrontation with the, you know, with the president. Then president. You know, and then, but then Biden came in and then Blinken released it, and then it all kind of came back.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, but let me let me give a little history to that because people may not understand what you're saying. Yeah. So uh around about 2013, thereabout, yeah. We had a Christian president who basically became a president by accident because his principal, who was a Muslim, died and he took over as a vice, right? And then this guy was fighting Boko Haram. Sean, go and do your research. Ask anybody. I tell you, I am all for the truth and nothing but the truth. This guy was beating Boko Haram silly. This president even brought private security networks from from outside of Nigeria, and they were they were dealing with Boko Haram. We basically were already celebrating the ouster of Boko Haram from Nigeria. Wow. Because he was killing them.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Okay?
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_00And guess what happened? As if that infuriated the cabals, which Obama led, they quickly skimmed to get him out of power. They almost literally commandeered him to get out of power after the election. He didn't even have the opportunity to contest the irregularities in the elections. So they kicked him out.
SPEAKER_04Wow.
SPEAKER_00And when I told people that this was what happened, they didn't believe me until the man, two years later in 2027, after in 2017, because the election was 2015, 2017, he now had a press release, or wrote a book rather, and told the story that Obama specifically told him that he needed to get out of power. In fact, they brought warships, you know, closer to Africa so that if he decided not to leave, they could bomb, they were gonna bomb Nigeria. Obama walked him out. But guess what happened? When they kicked him out, who was there to help to set up the party, the Nigerian party that the the the the jihadist came uh on the platform of to become president? It was Obama that sent David Aserod, you know him, he's an Obama guy, right? David Ploff was an Obama campaign manager. They David Plough came on the platform of David Assarod's company. It's called AKPD Media and Message, something like that. They were the ones who came on ground in Nigeria and set up the All Progressives Congress, this pro-Islamic party that we have in Nigeria today. They set it up. They even called me and asked me to come and join. And I said, I would never do that. My conscience will not allow me to join you guys because I knew some guys who were in the middle of that. And I said I would not join that. And they set up that and ran the APC campaign and made sure they were on ground, they were the guys who laid the framework for everything that APC became. And that's why today, when you see anybody, any governor in Nigeria that becomes an APC member, the first thing you're gonna do is that you must allow for the easy proliferation of Islam in your enclave, in your state. This is the subtle, silent Islamization program. It's enshrined in the manifesto, quietly kept there. So once you become an APC, that's why the APC governor of Benue State, the hardest hit state after Plateau, is not able to say or do anything.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Because that is part, that is the party you belong to. Your party promotes this kind of evil. Right. So they are not supposed to talk. It was President Trump who came and overturned that madness and said, I am going to slam CPC. And true to their world, the moment he did it and he left power, he didn't come back. Biden, who is a Democrat, also came back and then overturned what President Trump did. Because APC became like an offshoot of the Democrat Party of America. Oh my god. That's how they regard it till this day. The guys literally traveled from Nigeria, went to Obama, met with him, they set up the whole thing, planned it, and they now skimmed this guy out and brought a jihadist. And now the person who you brought to replaced the guy that was killing Boko Haram, he now came in and said, Boko Haram is our brothers. Let's bring them in, let's integrate them into the society. How do you think the people who get killed every day by these guys are feeling when they see that the guys who kill them don't face any trial, no consequences for their actions, they just integrate them and even give them higher positions and use taxpayers' money to fund them, to fund the so-called nasty thing they call rehabilitation that they do? It's an affront, it's an insult to the people who get killed every day.
SPEAKER_01And so I mean, there's gotta be conviction on Americans out there to realize that the state of what's happening right now and how it was set up to allow and promote these guys was largely installed by a US president. Yes. So when people say, well, why should you care? Well, we we should care. Because what what knowingly or unknowingly for all Americans, we are connected to this mess here. And you look at, you know, what the what Trump has been able to do, you look at the you know, the they're scared of him, they're fearful of him, but yet what do you say now? What do you say to Americans now? Like what is the hope? What can our hope be in moving forward to see a change? Obviously, we're gonna pray and we're you know, I'm gonna announce the this you know fundraiser that we're gonna do to bless the church, the persecuted church here in Nigeria. But what is the hope maybe politically or action items or ways that people can grab on to anything to see this overturn?
SPEAKER_00So, what I'm I'm gonna ask Americans to do, you know, there are a lot of things that I may not be able to talk about in detail, but what I'm gonna say to everyone is that what we have tried so far, dropping these bombs, they're good. Um, the threats, they're very good. As you can see right now, and after Trump dropped the bomb on the Lakura terrorist organization, we got the news that many of them were running away. So they they were scared. But then they regrouped and they came back, and the attacks have become almost 10 times worse now. And rather than rely on that alone, I am still thinking that the best will be a total, complete systemic overhaul. Yeah. And elections usually provide us that opportunity. Yes. And just the way I used to tell Africans that whatever happens to America will affect everybody. I was once invited to pray on the Capitol Hill, and I dropped a line that everybody ran with. The whole media carried it out there. As goes America, so goes the world. And people say, Why do you concern yourself with American politics? I say, you guys don't understand international politics. Right. It connects everyone. Yes. In that same vein, that's why I set up Africans for Trump International, the campaign for President Trump to win African uh uh Africans resident in America, win those votes for him, that demographic. Right. And we did win a lot of votes for him. Yeah. And we did tell people the truth about Trump when mainstream media was lying about this man. I was out there constantly debunking the lies from CNN and everywhere. And today, Trump's approval rating in Africa is more than triple what it was, what it used to be those days when it was a taboo to mention his name in the media.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_00I got involved as an African because I know we are all interconnected in this thing. The same way I am asking Americans, you are also connected to what is happening here.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_00If you have any ideas on how we can enthrone people who fear God in the place of authority in Nigeria, share with us. If you have any ideas on what we can do to bring about a total complete systemic overhaul, please share with us. We are open to anything. Nigerians are sorely desperate at this time. When I say this, I say it with all seriousness. Nigerians are desperate. People are tired. That's why you see the easiest thing people do in Nigeria today is what they call Japba. JAPA means get out of the country, go find anywhere. Even if it's a country where there's war, just find somewhere as long as you're not in Nigeria. Because as far as our most Nigerians are concerned, every other place is better than being in Nigeria because the level of frustration is unbelievable. So I am gonna ask our beloved Americans to please get actively involved. Yes, we want to help the church that is persecuted. There's so many of them that have lost their church buildings. Whenever you mention that 130,000 or so close to it have been killed, you notice that they also mentioned the number of churches burned. About 18 to 20,000 churches also burned, destroyed or burned down completely. Who builds those churches? Nobody. They worship in open rows.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, right?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, whether it's raining or sunning, it's on them. Many of them still holding on to their faith. Yeah, those will be done. People need help because they've lost their means of livelihood. Can you believe, Sean, that we have millions of Christians in refugee camps inside their own country? Up until last year, the Nigerian government did not even admit that this was real, that there were refugee camps in Nigeria. Riley Moore had to come into Nigeria, went to Benwe and confirmed that Benwe alone, where he visited, had over 380,000 in one region.
SPEAKER_04That's in it.
SPEAKER_00Then don't talk about Taraba, don't talk about Kaduna, don't talk about Plato. These were Christian agrarian communities who were all farmers. We used to call it the food basket of the nation. Yeah, these were farmers. They they all they did all their lives was just to farm.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Large-scale farmers.
SPEAKER_01And they were just driven out.
SPEAKER_00They have been driven out. The demons who come to drive them out, take over their farmlands, take over their homelands, take it onto themselves, rename them. Wow. After Islamic names. And the guys who own the real lands now end up in IDP camps. In their own state. And the governors are not allowed to say it because they also belong to APC, the ruling party. They hide it. That's why I told you there's no sincerity.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_00They hide it. Christians are in IDP camps in Nigeria. Riley Woko, he confirmed it. He put it out in the but then what he confirmed was only a fraction of the reality.
SPEAKER_01Oh, yeah. I mean, I'm he only saw a tiny little just a tiny little bit.
SPEAKER_00So we need all that to change. We need Mike Arnold, my friend and brother. He has been building schools for them in the IDP camps. A lot of people are building Judsol and the rest of them. And now Alex screaming on the top of his lungs every day. He's now born in Nigeria. He's a foreigner. But the guy is tired because what he's seen is way too much and nobody's reporting it. All these people need help. But we also need to find a permanent solution to stop this madness from happening anymore. If we don't stop it from happening, I tell you, bro, the next year, even before the end of this year, you will notice that some states will no longer have any living Christian population there. This is how bad and how serious this is. Because the guys are advancing. They are treated with kick gloves. They are advancing. Nobody is giving them any serious run for them. Nobody is beating them. Nobody is killing them. If you're the person who kills and nobody kills you, and rather they give you a slap on the wrist, won't you continue killing? You kill more. So even kids, you know, who are not supposed to be terrorists will look at the way that these guys are being treated. They will also want to become terrorists. They want to join them. That is the motivation. So that's why we need a total overhaul, a systemic overhaul. I believe that elections will present that to us. Not that we don't need something more than elections, but you can get that thing that is more than elections before the elections. So maybe we start from elections.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_00To ask God to help us to get it right with the elections so that maybe from there, the actual change that we're looking for can then begin in earnest.
SPEAKER_01Amen. Well, I we we we are praying. I mean, we're gonna be praying for the election. We're gonna obviously be doing stuff before then. Yeah. Like we're like these couple days that we're together and strategy and getting others involved and shouting from the mountaintops. But the urgency and the passion that you have and the conviction that you have is what we need to hear. Because in America, people are so war fatigued. You know, you got Iran, you got Ukraine and Russia, you got all these issues. But guys, this is a holy jihad war against Christians. Yeah. This is a targeted genocide to erase people that love Jesus across an entire nation. And we cannot afford to be silent. And we cannot afford to just be fatigued. We have to engage. So I'm gonna ask you to do three things. Number one, obviously pray. Pray, really pray. I mean, set an alarm on your phone. I know for me, like that's my biggest takeaway is I need to have these people. I believe the prayers of the righteous availeth much. I believe God can do miracles and wonders. And imagine if there's millions more people across the world that are raising their Voice in prayer. This is why we're trying so hard to push this news through the algorithms that want to crush it down. You know, the algorithms that want to keep it quiet.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_01You know, and we're trying to let everyone know because we want to stir up prayer. Secondly, you can give. Those that are feeling motivated, you can give right now. We just set up a page. It's called letusworship.us backslash Nigeria. Let us worship.us backslash Nigeria. We're taking none of it. It is all going to go to the persecuted church here. It's going to go help rebuilding churches, gonna go for security, gonna go, we're gonna figure out the right exact people. And I trust you and other people who need it. Uh, so you can give and just give and be generous because this will be used in the most incredible way in the greatest place of need. And thirdly, I would say as as you're talking about, you know, strategy. Um, there are strategies, I believe, that God has for this. And so some of you can reach out to your senators, your US congressmen. There's something about what we see that when pressure is applied from the US, things do change here.
SPEAKER_03Yes.
SPEAKER_01And uh, you know, it's very easy for our government to get sidetracked, obviously, because we're in the middle of a war, but we have to continue to keep that pressure on, especially on Holy Week. You know, like it's like that's the craziest thing to me is it's like the audacity. This is how brazen these guys are, is that they're coming on Holy Week the same thing that they did last year. They did it again last night. And Easter's this coming weekend. Yeah. You know, and so we we we need we need a strategy and we need you guys out there mobilizing. We need you to contact your congressman, contact your senator, contact people of authority and power, be the annoying, you know, person like the Luke 18. Will I not grant justice to those that cry out day and night? We have to be unrelenting with this issue. And, you know, for our brothers and sisters over here that are enduring this, like we have to be motivated on our end. Because I know some of you out there, you don't realize the power that you have. You can you can bug these congressmen, these senators, these people of influence. And it and if they get enough heat, they will push this issue to up top thing. Bills will start to happen, it'll start to be talked about in Congress. And then as we see, the president will act, and he has before, and big things will happen. So that's the takeaway. This is like a fire hose of information. I mean, you're talking, I'm just sitting here, just like taking it all in, bro. You are so full of passion and zeal for this. And I'm praying that God will use this message and it'll go around the world. Last thing I want to do, we always end with this. Would you just pray? And I'm I've been praying for you, and I'm gonna continue to pray for you, but I want you to pray that you're that that God would use this to awaken people around the world to what's happening.
SPEAKER_00Yes, precious Father God, we just want to thank you for the opportunity to share as passionately as you have enabled us to. And that you thank you because we have spoken the truth, only the truth and nothing but the truth. And may the light of this truth shine abroad the hearts of everyone who has heard, and even the most redundant of hearts. Lord, use this to reawaken them, to awaken them to the reality and to call them, oh God, to the place of the defense of these persecuted Christians. Give them the grace, the strength, and the means to support in any way they can, oh God. And in the end, we'll be careful to return all the glory to your name. In the mighty name of our Lord and King Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen. Amen.
