A new Fox News segment has just forced the world to stop ignoring what many of us have known in our bones for years: a horrific video showing worshippers gunned down at a Christian church in Nigeria has been released, and the silence from so-called global institutions has been deafening. Leah Foundation President Gloria Sandi Puldu laid out the human cost on The Faulkner Focus, holding up the faces and names of victims while the rest of the world looks away.
The footage is stomach-turning: churches burned, families terrorized, entire communities living under the threat of slaughter — Christianity in parts of Nigeria is being squeezed by violence that looks a lot like ethnic cleansing. Local reporting and eyewitness accounts make clear this is not random crime but a systematic campaign that targets people for their faith, and it is happening while the mainstream media and global bureaucracies trade moral posturing for action.
In a move that should shame establishment elites who prefer celebrity virtue-signaling over real solidarity, superstar Nicki Minaj stood up at a U.S.-backed United Nations forum and used her megaphone to demand the world pay attention to these Christians. She thanked President Trump and U.S. officials for prioritizing the issue and urged her fans and the public to stop treating religious persecution as someone else’s problem. That an artist — and a patriot who isn’t afraid to call out injustice — had to do what diplomats should have been doing speaks volumes about where our priorities have gone.
Some in the media have rushed to smear Minaj for stepping out of the entertainment sandbox, but conservatives should celebrate anyone who breaks the media’s protective ring around bad actors and tells the truth. The U.S. Mission’s event, organized by American officials and featuring voices like Ambassador Michael Waltz, should be the beginning of pressure campaigns, not the end of public outrage. We ought to be proud that patriotic Americans — entertainers and diplomats alike — are forcing the conversation back to human rights and religious freedom.
Let’s be frank: the United Nations too often offers resolutions and statements while tyrants and terrorists act with impunity, and that impotence costs lives. If the U.S. is willing to host a forum and let a global superstar amplify the truth, then Washington must follow through with real instruments of power — targeted sanctions, cutoffs for any aid flowing to complicit officials, and support for local rescue and protection efforts. Words without consequences are cruelty by another name.
Gloria Sandi Puldu and organizations like the Leah Foundation have been sounding this alarm for years, including campaigning for girls like Leah Sharibu who remain in captivity for refusing to renounce their faith. These are not abstractions for the pulpit or the think tank; they are mothers, children, and pastors caught in a campaign to erase their faith and their communities. Americans who pray and believe in liberty must stand with them, not with the appeasers and bureaucrats who prefer reports to results.
Patriotic readers should take this as a call to action: demand that our leaders stop treating this as a background issue and start using every tool to protect the persecuted. Support the organizations exposing the truth, pressure your representatives to act, and refuse to be numbed by the left’s selective outrage that ignores Christians under attack. This is about defending faith, human dignity, and the idea that the United States stands for the persecuted, not for the powerful who look away.
