We Lost Him 💔😭
My heart is shattered beyond words
Our little brother, 13-year-old David Raymond, has gone home to be with the Lord after fighting for his life for 18 painful days
David was not a soldier
He was not a criminal
He was only a child whose only "offense" was being born into a Christian family in Plateau State
On that dark night in Kawel village, Bokkos LGA, terrorists stormed his home while the family slept
His father, Raymond Maichibi, stood between death and his son, hoping to save him with his own body, but he was shot and killed
His mother, Nanlop Raymond, hid inside the bedroom, praying for mercy, but the bullets found her too
David tried to escape, but an AK-47 bullet ripped through his back and stomach, leaving his intestines exposed
As doctors struggled day and night to save this innocent child, his parents were already lying in a mass grave alongside 20 other Christians murdered simply because of their faith
The family could not bring themselves to tell David that he was now an orphan
They hoped he would recover first
But today, that painful secret no longer matters
David has gone to join his father and mother in eternity
Before he died, his trembling voice still echoed from his hospital bed
"They came in the night... My father tried to protect me and they shot him... My mother was hiding when they shot her too... I ran and they shot me in the back..."
How many more children must die before the world listens
How many more Christian families must be erased before our tears are seen
The silence of the world has become another weapon against us
"Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." — Matthew 5:10
David's blood cries out from the ground
His story must not die with him
I plead with the Church around the world, do not stop praying for the persecuted Church in Nigeria
Remember us before the throne of God
Stand with us while there is still someone left to save
May the Lord comfort every grieving heart and may little David Raymond rest in the everlasting arms of Jesus until we meet again
Rest in peace, precious child
Your suffering is over
Your crown awaits you 💔😭🙏
The wait is over.
We have 2 golds: Chimdiebube Onwubiko and Don Anele Munachimso.
We are the best in the world!
Egejurum Onyedikachi’s name was omitted. He should have a gold.
In Ghana, any child who qualifies to represent the country in the International Maths Olympiad gets an automatic scholarship to MIT.
Interestingly, the head of their local Olympiad unit is a Nigerian. He left Nigeria the moment the Nigerian government stopped sponsoring our students for the program.
MIT students regularly travel to Ghana to prepare their students for the Olympiad.
It is also a huge talent pipeline for a company called Jane Street. They are the major sponsor for Ghana Maths Olympiad. Their starting salary is between $300k - $600k annually.
When I was Muslim, I knew the story in Surah 2.
King Saul leads his army out, God tests them at a river — don’t drink, or you’re not with me — and only a few pass. Then they fight, and David kills Goliath. Surah 2:249-251.
Clean story. Until you open the Bible and find that the river test isn’t Saul’s at all.
It’s Gideon’s. Judges 7.
God tells Gideon his army is too big. So he tests them at the water. The men who lap like a dog go one way, the men who kneel go another. God whittles 32,000 men down to 300, so Israel can’t brag that they won by their own strength.
That’s the test. And it belongs to GIDEON. A judge. About 150 years BEFORE Saul was ever king.
You know what shook me?
The Quran took Gideon’s water test, pinned it on Saul, and then stitched the David and Goliath battle onto the end of it.
Two separate stories, from two different centuries, fused into one.
It’s the exact same thing the Quran does with Moses and Jacob. Take a detail from one hero, glue it onto another, compress the timeline.
I used to say the Bible mixed things up.
But the Bible keeps Gideon and Saul as two distinct men, 150 years apart, with two distinct stories.
It’s the later book that merged them.
And here’s what I couldn’t ignore.
Gideon’s 300 won so that no one could boast. The whole point was: the victory is God’s, not yours.
That’s the Gospel in advance. You don’t win by your strength. You win by His.
“Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord.” Zechariah 4:6.
The Bible kept the story straight because the story was going somewhere.
It was going to a cross, where God won the victory alone, so no one could ever boast they saved themselves.
When I was Muslim, I never asked who built the golden calf. I just knew it was a sin in the desert.
Then I read both accounts and one detail stopped me cold.
In the Bible, the man who builds the golden calf is AARON. Moses’ own brother. The first high priest. Exodus 32:4.
He gathers the gold, melts it, shapes the idol. And when Moses confronts him, he gives the weakest excuse in scripture: “I threw the gold in the fire and out came this calf.” As if it made itself.
Bro. The Bible just put the worst sin in the camp in the hands of the holiest man in the camp.
You would NEVER write that if you were protecting your prophets.
Now read the Quran. Surah 20. Aaron is cleared. Innocent. He tried to stop it. The blame goes to a mystery man called “al-Samiri.” The Samaritan. Surah 20:85.
You know what shook me? The Bible incriminates its own high priest.
The Quran writes him an alibi and invents a villain.
One reads like an honest record. The other like damage control.
And there’s a second problem with that villain. “The Samaritan.” But Samaritans didn’t exist in Moses’ time.
The city of Samaria wasn’t founded until about 500 years later, under King Omri. 1 Kings 16:24.
It’s like putting a Texan at the Last Supper.
Now, some Muslim scholars push back — they say “Samiri” means something else. I’ll be fair, that argument exists. But their own classical commentators read it as “the Samaritan” for centuries.
The defense only works by re-translating away from how the tradition always understood it.
I used to say the Bible was corrupted. But the Bible is honest enough to say the high priest built the idol.
Only a book honest about how bad we are could point me to a Savior real enough to fix it.
The Bible never flattered Aaron. It didn’t flatter me either. It just told me the truth, and handed me Jesus.
You call them kafirs.
You mock their beliefs.
You say they're doomed.
Then you queue up at their embassies.
Spend all night praying for a UK or US visa.
If kafirs are that terrible, why are you desperate to live among them?
If youth can accept giveaways from bandits, then what is rice from Politicians?
To be clear, it's not poverty; I doubt folks in Togo or Chad will ask folks that rape and kill for giveaways. How low are your morals that you are willing to accept cash from killers?
The youth in 234 have been traumatized and need serious therapy (and jobs). We see glimpses of it here on X where people are paid to say anything for a pittance.
There is no low bar; there is no self-respect, nothing. Just hunger.
Same nation is talking esoteric things like AI and foreign reserves while the youth, its future, are pushed to ask bandits for cash?
Na wah ooh
The Nigerian Police Force have rescued Adelabu's kidnapped family under 72H.
Under 3days.
46 children and their teachers, are still in captivity after 3 weeks.
If the entire workforce in Oyo state isn't occupying the streets next week - all of you are fools.
Today, we remember Dr. Felix Oragwu and other Igbo scientists and engineers who contributed to the development of Ogbunigwe, armored vehicles, the Uli airstrip, communication lines, and Ojukwu’s bunker. Their sacrifices, innovation, and bravery will always be remembered.
We Remember Our Fallen Heroes Today.
Dear Igbo Nation, today marks 56 years since we tragically lost over 4.5 million Igbo brothers and sisters to the Nigerian–Biafran War. They gallantly fought and died so that we might live. 🕊️
Let's Retweet in their memory. 🙏
56yrs later, the starved children turned to most well nourished children. The destroyed region becomes the most beautiful cities. Today their cities are rusty and their children are the ones begging for food. The only people that can do it are Igbos, am very proud of my tribe.
As we mark the Biafran heroes remembrance day, it is worthy to mention that during the Biafran genocide, AGAINST ALL ODDS, and literally out of nothing...
Ndi Igbo refined their own oil ✅
Ndi Igbo invented the OGBUNIGWE ✅
Ndi Igbo created their own grenade launchers ✅
1/2
I have made it a duty to share this every year, until the need to share it no longer exists.
My ancestors' death will never be in vain.
Rest in Peace Heroes! 🙏 💪🏽

The Government of Ghana has repatriated 300 Ghanians living in South Africa back to Ghana.
They did that free of charge. In fact, Ghana will give its returnees some financial assistance to cover their ferry back to their respective homes.
The Government of Ghana will also give their returnees a starter pack to help them settle in.
Guess what? Your country did the complete opposite. The Government of Nigeria said that Nigerians who are willing to be repatriated must pay for their flight back to Nigeria.
There will be no free ride back to Nigeria. Allen Onyema is done being their Father-Christmas.
Air Peace has burned a lot of cash trying to help an ungrateful government that squanders everything. Being a Nigerian is a threat to your life at this point. Apart from the air you breathe, “what do you gain as a citizen of Nigeria?” 💔
