Acts 20:24
But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.

Also Jesus is an incredibly caring person. There’s this miracle that stuns me, Jesus meets a man born deaf and mute, and he takes him away from the crowd to heal him.

I imagine Jesus knew that sound would have been bewildering to him for the first time and he didn’t want him to embarrass himself in front of a watching crowd.

I want a God like that, who doesn’t want me to be a freak show, who is mindful of me being restored privately without the prying eyes of others.

The tough pill to swallow for most Muslims is if you take the Quran strictly as it is and synthesize it with the Hadiths, these men resemble Muhammed more closely than “Modern Muslims”. There is nothing the men here do, that Muhammed did not do, whether it is killing people or raping women. It is simply a question of the window of operation. But the Quran presents Muhammed as the timeless exemplar of perfection so therefore it is not far fetched or unfair to think or say that these men are the truest Muslims available.

Another set of killings and kidnappings in Kwara. The ones in Oyo are yet to be rescued.
A government that can’t protect its people is a failed government. This government is a failed one!

In Nigeria, a Christian villager defended his people. The state sentenced him to hang. The terrorists walked free.

---

A state high court in Kaduna, northern Nigeria, has sentenced a man to hang for defending his people.

His name is Victor Solomon. His Adara community — Christian farmers in Southern Kaduna State — calls him Zidane.

In October 2018, Islamic terrorists stormed the Kasuwan Magani market, a busy trading hub about thirty miles from Kaduna city. Adara Christian traders working their stalls on a Tuesday. Police counted 55 dead. The Adara counted more than a hundred. The killers murdered some of them inside a police post, in full view of the officers.

The next day, the Adara king — a paramount tribal chief, the Agwam Adara — left a meeting with the state governor and drove home through the bush. The terrorists ambushed his convoy. They shot four of his aides on the spot and dragged the king and his wife into the bush. Five days later, his body turned up. They let the wife live to carry the message home.

That governor was Nasir El-Rufai. Nigerians call him the Butcher of Kaduna. He admitted on the record that his government handed payments to the Fulani Muslim "herders" who slaughtered Christian farmers across his state. His troops shot nearly a thousand men, women, and children at a religious procession in the city of Zaria. And his administration arrested the Adara survivors of the Kasuwan Magani massacre instead of the men who carried it out.

The killing didn't stop with the king. Wave after wave hit the Adara villages through the rest of 2018. The killers burned homes and killed hundreds. They put a whole people under siege.

The state convicted zero killers, yet they arrested more than twenty Adara survivors.

Zidane stood up in the middle of all that. He risked his own neck to defend his people when the government wouldn't lift a finger. The Adara Development Association — the community's main civic organization — has gone on the record calling him a hero.

For that, on January 6, 2026, a Kaduna State High Court sentenced him to death by hanging.

Two different courts tried him on similar facts. The first court cleared him in 2024. The second sentenced him to death. Same man. Same defense. Two opposite verdicts. The current Kaduna government calls it due process and warns Nigerians not to spread "misinformation" about it.

Here is the punchline. The same state that couldn't convict a single man for slaughtering a hundred Christians at Kasuwan Magani — the same state that couldn't convict a single man for killing the Adara king on his way home from a meeting with the governor — that state is now set to execute the survivor who fought back.

That isn't justice. That is a system that has decided Christians have no right to live.

The Nigerian regime has a pattern of sentencing Christians to death for self defense. And it goes out of its way to deny recognition and aid to the millions who are displaced, mostly woman and children, now suffering in horrific conditions in hidden concentration camps around the country.

Contrast that with what this regime does for the terrorists. The Nigerian federal government runs a program called Operation Safe Corridor. Boko Haram fighters and Fulani militiamen who yell Allahu Akbar while savagely slaughter Christian villages get six months of carpentry class at a military camp, a graduation ceremony, and a stipend.

By all international standards, the program is a sick joke. It is estimated that up to fifty percent quickly return to terror -- well fed, rested, educated, and better connected thanks to unwitting taxpayers and a complicit government.

Nigeria's Chief of Defence Staff calls the these savages "prodigal sons." National Security Adviser Nuhu "Bugsy" Ribadu calls them "brothers." The Sultan of Sokoto, who speaks for Nigeria's Muslims, called them hellbound from a podium in Abuja the same week his Fulani militants attacked a Christian burial in Plateau State. Despite his recent, cynical media statement, the Sultan has taken no action to stop them in 20 years - no fatwa, no names named. Many believe him to be the architect.

A vacation and carpentry certificte for the man who hacked apart Christians with a machete. A noose for the man who stood in his way.

Last Christmas, after a year of global pressure, a Christian state governor in northeastern Nigeria pardoned a Christian farmer named Sunday Jackson — convicted for killing a Fulani "herder" who attacked him with a knife. Eleven days after that pardon, Kaduna sentenced Zidane. The regime watched, learned and then pushed harder.

The world saved Jackson and can save Zidane. But only if the world hears his name.

Say it. Share it. Tag the Governor of Kaduna State, Uba Sani. Tag your congressman. Tag your senator. Tag every reporter who covers Nigeria. Use the hashtag #freezidane

Victor Solomon aka Zidane. The man who stood between his Christian people and the terrorists who were killing them.

The man Kaduna State sentenced to hang for it.

As humans, we often wrestle with God—but in the wrong way. We wrestle to resist Him. But a wrestling match with God must always be “fixed” for Him to win. The question is: in what areas of your life will you allow God to wrestle you down?

Their song says
We are being killed and persecuted, we thought we should go and retaliate. But Jesus gave us an example, he taught us that to be persecuted is part of our heritage in Christ.

They are rejoicing despite the persecution

I’ve just returned from Nigeria’s killing fields.

Yet the world is barely paying attention.

Paul warned believers not to associate with acclaimed believers who were involved in sexual sins, greed, and swindling.

We have dropped the bar so low that many now "honour" preachers who are regular practitioners of these sins.

Nigeria: Yet another Christian has been sentenced to death for the crime of self-defense.

Victor Solomon (aka Zidane), a Christian who defended his community from Fulani Islamist attacks has been sentenced to death for doing so.

Shockingly, he was charged with the same crime in two different state courts.

He was acquitted in one but condemned in Kaduna by a Muslim judge.

Christians have a right to defend themselves from Islamists who attack them.

This is not okay. Pray for Zidane, his family and community. He needs immediate help.
