STARK REALITY: CHRIST-AFRICA—FIGHT BACK OR FLEE?
By Boldmind Dave, CRA
Executive Director (ED), CHRIST-AFRICA
They came in the night, again. Villages razed. Lives lost. Children orphaned. Churches in ashes. The cries echo, but the response is silence. Deafening, dangerous silence.
In the heart of Africa’s most populous nation, Christians are under siege not for crimes, but for their creed. From Benue to Borno, Plateau to Southern Kaduna, Niger to Kogi, they are hunted not by wild beasts, but by bloodthirsty extremists cloaked in jihad and emboldened by government indifference. This is Nigeria’s shameful secret the open secret no one at the top seems in a hurry to fix.
Enter CHRIST-AFRICA: Christian Rights for Social Justice and Transparency in Africa. A rising cry against the rising tide of religious persecution. They are not just activists they are survivors, warriors of peace, and builders of hope. Their mission? To say NO MORE to impunity, to silence, to the slow-motion genocide of Nigerian Christians.
Yet the question remains: Fight back or flee?
For many, fleeing feels safer. A silent exodus from ancestral homes to overcrowded camps, where hope flickers dimly. But CHRIST-AFRICA says fighting back doesn’t always mean bearing arms—it means bearing witness. It means raising voices in courtrooms, in churches, in parliaments, and in the media. It means demanding accountability, reforms, and protection. It means uniting hearts across denominations and drawing strength from faith rather than fear.
A terrorist enclave in Mahanga, Plateau State, where extremists are said to reside openly and operate freely. The government knows but does little. Even more disturbing, these terrorists boldly release videos issuing threats and daring both government and citizens. They openly boast that no one can flush them out, falsely claiming to be indigenous to the region, when in truth they are jihadists who have invaded communities, seized lands, and now pose as locals.
Meanwhile, Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) majority of whom are Christiansremain unrecognized by the government. Because of this deliberate neglect, they receive zero help from the outside world. Their displacement becomes permanent. Their dignity fades. Their pain is normalized. Makeshift camps morph into long-term prisons of hopelessness.
While the world looks away, the terrorists grab land, seize homes, and occupy territories. Ancestral history, indigenous culture, and sacred traditions are being erased, village after village. It is not just a war on people it is a war on identity.
CHRIST-AFRICA is sounding the alarm. They are not begging for special treatment. They are demanding equal rights the right to worship, to live, to be heard, and to be protected. The Nigerian constitution guarantees it. God affirms it. Humanity expects it.
The federal government, meanwhile, continues with its rehearsed condemnations and empty promises, while the killings rage on. Inaction is now complicity. Silence has become policy.
But CHRIST-AFRICA refuses to be another hashtag, another funeral, another number. They are becoming the resistance not with hate, but with holy defiance.
To ignore this is to be complicit. To speak up is to be courageous. And to support this movement is to say with boldness:
Injustice anywhere, especially under the cross, must be crushed everywhere.
So, fight back or flee?
CHRIST-AFRICA has chosen to fight. Peacefully. Prayerfully. Powerfully.
Will you?
Kindly send your donations no matter how little to help buy sachet water, detergents and food to the internally displaced persons ravaged by these barbaric terrorists attack.
