The footage released and discussed on Fox News is the kind of raw, heartbreaking evidence the mainstream media pretends not to see: Leah Foundation President Gloria Sandi Puldu appeared on The Faulkner Focus to lay out the brutal reality facing Christians in Nigeria and to push back against the silence from the international community. Puldu’s organization is on the ground trying to help victims who are being terrorized in their own places of worship, and Americans should be grateful conservative outlets are giving these witnesses a voice. The clip makes clear this is not abstract policy talk but human beings paying the price for global indifference.
New video of an attack inside a Nigerian church, the sort of footage Puldu described, is chilling: worshippers shot and dragged from pews while attackers ransacked a sanctuary that should have been safe. These are not isolated incidents — churches are being burned, pastors kidnapped, and entire communities uprooted while too many institutions look the other way. The visuals are a moral indictment of those in power who have turned a blind eye and offered only tepid statements instead of concrete action.
Into that void stepped a surprising but welcome voice — Nicki Minaj — who used a platform at a U.S.-hosted United Nations event to call attention to the “deadly threat” facing Christians in Nigeria and to thank leaders who are actually prioritizing the issue. Whether you like her music or not, Minaj’s willingness to confront international complacency and praise leadership that demands action is exactly the kind of boldness the world needs now. Her remarks underscore that religious liberty is not a niche concern; it is a fundamental human right worth defending loudly and unapologetically.
Conservatives should celebrate anyone — celebrity or statesman — who breaks through the establishment’s indifference to stand for persecuted believers, and that includes Nicki Minaj and those in Washington who press for accountability. Too often the United Nations, multinational charities, and the left-leaning press act as if all victims are equally urgent except when Christians are the ones being slaughtered; that hypocrisy demands calling out. If the Biden administration and global elites won’t protect religious freedom, then patriotic Americans and principled leaders must push harder for real consequences.
The facts on the ground cannot be papered over by lectures about complexity; when churches are targeted and pastors kidnapped, a clear policy response is required — not platitudes. Former administration officials and voices in the conservative movement have rightly suggested withholding aid or imposing sanctions until Nigeria takes measurable steps to protect its citizens, and that kind of leverage should not be taboo to patriots who care about human rights. Washington must stop outsourcing moral clarity to soft-spoken diplomats and start using the full weight of American influence to defend religious liberty abroad.
This is a call to action for every hardworking American who still believes in faith, family, and freedom: reject the moral relativism that excuses persecution and demand that our leaders treat religious violence as the crisis it is. Support organizations on the ground like the Leah Foundation, pressure elected officials to use policy and aid as leverage, and applaud public figures who refuse to stay silent. We owe it to the martyrs and the terrified congregations in Nigeria to stand firm, speak loudly, and act decisively — because liberty and faith are worth fighting for.
