Why Is The World So Noisy About Gaza, Ukraine, Syria, But So Silent About This Slaughterhouse

Protests against genocide of Nigerian christians - source: screenshot



Why is the world so silent?
On Palm Sunday, April 13, 2025, up to 54 men, women, and children—were brutally massacred in Zikke village, Nigeria. Militants, identified by local leaders as Fulani extremists, torched homes and annihilated entire families in a savage, targeted attack. They were not shot to death, they were savagely beaten and hacked to death with Machetes.
Why?!!!
For no other reason, than they were Christian.
It was initially reported that 51 people were killed but International Christian Concern notes 54 deaths. The exact number hardly matters when the blood of innocents still stains the soil. I saw horrific scenes: children still clad in their pajamas, mercilessly killed and left with horrific gaping wounds, some beheaded. This was not just murder—it was an attempt to erase an entire community.
This atrocity is part of a broader wave of violence. In the past couple of months alone, approximately 113 Christians, have been killed in just the Plateau State. Across northern Africa, the toll is staggering: between 50,000 and 75,000 Christians have been slaughtered by militant Islamist groups. In Nigeria, groups like Boko Haram, ISWAP, and Fulani militants have waged a relentless campaign.
Fifty thousand.
Seventy-five thousand.
JustL let those numbers sink in.
Many among them were small children, even babies.
Yet, the world barely flinches.
No front-page headlines.
No global protests.
No urgent calls for justice.
Compare this to the outcry about Palestinian deaths following Israel’s retaliation for the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack—marches, hashtags, UN resolutions erupted overnight.
Why the disparity?
Why does it seem that Christian lives in Nigeria are deemed less worthy?
The silence reeks of double standards, and of selective outrage. It makes me wonder if the uproar over Palestine was less about justice and more a pretext for anti-Semitism, a latent hatred waiting to surface. 
If the world really cares about innocent lives, where is the grief for Zikke’s children? These were not combatants. They didn’t attack or kidnap anyone. They were peace-loving families—farmers, worshippers, churchgoers—who sang, served, and lived humbly.
My heart is broken.
All I can think is that many did not know. Surely people would care if they did? If you do care, please share this and show you stand against genocide!
