This young man makes a sensible comparison between the Indian and Nigerian communities in the diaspora, and how they behave differently when they move to Canada or the UK.
There are vital lessons we can learn here:
ZAGAZOLA CHECKS: Exploiting Kaduna Muslim Familyβs Kidnap to Push Christian Persecution Narrative Is Misleading
A kidnapping is a crime against its victims, not a licence to manufacture a religious narrative.
The abduction of Ahmed Abubakar Zakka, his wife and their infant daughter from their residence in Alrahus Estate, Millennium City, Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State, is deeply troubling. The family deserves our solidarity, and the security agencies must do everything possible to secure their safe and unconditional release.
But the attempt attributed to Ryan Miller to present this incident to American audiences as evidence of Christian persecution in Nigeria was very disturbing. The question is what does the religious identity of the victims have to do with a claim of Christian persecution when the family at the centre of this particular case is Muslim?
Miller may have opinions about Nigeriaβs security crisis, but opinions must not be substituted for evidence. A Muslim family cannot simply be repackaged as a symbol of Christian persecution to fit a predetermined narrative.
Doing so distorts the reality on ground, misleads audiences and risks turning a familyβs suffering into an instrument of propaganda in the international community.
The video reportedly circulated on October 12 shows a father holding his young child while an armed man threatens him, as his wife pleads beside him. The reported β¦300 million ransom demand, this simply shared more light on the cruelty of the criminal enterprise of Banditry in Nigeria and added credences to the fact that no one is spared both the Muslims and Christians
Nothing about this horrific ordeal should be trivialised, politicised or manipulated to serve an agenda unrelated to the victimsβ actual circumstances.
The question Ryan Miller must answer is straightforward: what evidence establishes that this particular abduction was motivated by the victimsβ religion? If no such evidence has been presented, why is the incident being offered to American audiences as proof of Christian persecution?
A criminal incident does not become religious persecution simply because it occurs in Nigeria. Nor does the suffering of a Muslim family become evidence for a claim about Christians merely because someone wants to use it that way.
Nigeriaβs security crisis is complex. It involves terrorism, banditry, mass kidnapping, communal violence and criminal networks whose activities have devastated populations in different parts of the country.
Any serious assessment must distinguish between the perpetrators, their motives, the identities of their victims and the evidence available in each case.
There is also a reality that international commentators too often overlook: Muslim communities in northern Nigeria have endured enormous losses from Boko Haram, ISWAP, banditry and mass abductions. Muslim worshippers, clerics, farmers, traders, schoolchildren and entire communities have suffered killings, displacement and captivity.
Their suffering does not disappear because it complicates a simplified narrative about Nigeria.
This does not diminish the genuine attacks and persecution that Christian communities also experience. Every documented case deserves acknowledgement and justice.
Ryan Miller and other commentators must understand that Nigeriaβs tragedy is not a licence to mislead the world. If they want to establish Christian persecution, they should present documented cases, identify the perpetrators, demonstrate the religious motive where evidence supports it, and distinguish those cases from ordinary criminal kidnappings or attacks driven by other factors.
Our position is clear every Nigerian life matters, every victim deserves justice, and no communityβs suffering should be manipulated to erase anotherβs.
The Zakka family must be rescued. The kidnappers must face justice. And anyone claiming to speak for victims of persecution must be held to the same standard
Ahmed Abubakar is from Zakka, a small, quiet village in Safana LGA, Katsina State. He only just earned his Bachelor's degree in 2024. Before that certificate ever came, he was already hustling to build a life - teaching in his community, trading fairly in used cars and household appliances to put food on the table.
On September 28, 2019, he married the love of his life, Nafisa Musa. Their love story just reached its most beautiful chapter: on March 20th, 2026, God blessed them with a baby girl.
She is only 7 months old.
Right now, as you read this, Nafisa is still nursing that infant. She is still healing. Ahmed is still trying to figure out how to secure a future for a child who hasn't even learned to walk.
And then evil came knocking.
Armed terrorists stormed their home in Kaduna and dragged them away - a young father, a nursing mother, and a naked 7-month-old baby girl clutched to her mother's chest. No mercy. No clothes for the baby. They drove them like animals through thick bushes and unforgiving hills into captivity.
Now they are demanding N300 million. That's $225,394.
Let that sink in.
At Nigeria's current minimum wage of N70,000 a month, an honest Nigerian would have to work for 357 YEARS and 2 months - 4,286 months straight - saving every single kobo, not eating, not paying rent, not paying transport, just to make what these gunmen are demanding in one night.
A young family that has harmed no one, that was only trying to raise their baby in peace, now has an AK-47 pointed at them.
A father who spent his life teaching other people's children.
A mother whose arms have never known anything but love and care for her baby.
And a 7-month-old girl who has not even lived long enough to know what the world is, now facing a world at its cruelest.
How does a family like this raise N300 million in one night? Where are they supposed to find it?
How?
Itβs 6:50 a.m. in Nigeria, and this young, brave American reporter Juliana Cox is about to attend Sunday service in one of the deadliest villages south of Jos, Plateau State where Fulani terrorist attacks are rampant
BREAKING: At least 3 killed as terrorists attack two villages south of Jos, Plateau State β the latest in a wave of violence that has left 50+ dead in the central Nigerian state this month
In one night, 526 Christians were massacred in this village and this church was razed by radical Fulani Muslims. Yet every evening, believers still gather to worship in its ruins, just feet from the mass grave where more than 500 victims are buried.
Despite ongoing terror attacks, Nigerian Christians in Plateau State continue to worship in public.
Each of them widowed β having lost everything to radical Islamist terrorists β these persecuted believers declared during a solemn Sunday service, held under the threat of further attacks: "I will give thanks to God even when I have nothing left. I have life and health, and that is enough." A profound declaration of faith and courage in the midst of grief and loss.

Nigeria: Reject the lie that Nigerian Christians are dying due to βfarmer-herder clashes.β
It is a false narrative.
The Truth: βWe have been systematically eliminated from our homes.
You donβt call it a clash when someone attacks you at night repeatedly with no provocation.β
Her name is Kyerna Jonathan. She is 35 years old. Her story is one of raw courage, resilience, and a motherβs ultimate sacrifice.
On Monday, August 17th, 2026, armed terrorists speaking Fulani and chanting βAllahu Akhbarβ invaded Bin Mper village in Kombun District, Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State, Nigeria. They came in swarms, and her home was the first they broke into.
Her husband, Jonathan Ishaku, was keeping watch outside. With no weapon to defend his family and no time to get them out, he ran into a nearby cornfield, praying the attackers would pass over his house. They did not. Their mission was to leave no survivors.
They shot off the door locks and stormed the room where Kyerna lay sleeping with her five children, firing round after round from automatic rifles.
With seconds to act, Kyerna made a choice. She threw herself over her two youngest children who were sleeping beside her bed, using her own body as a shield.
The gunmen kept firing for several minutes, hitting her multiple times in the back before leaving her for dead.
When rescuers arrived minutes later, they found Kyerna bleeding heavily and unable to move. But beneath her, the two children she had covered were completely unharmed.
Tragically, she did not have time to reach her three other children. They were killed in the attack. They were among the 25 people buried the following morning in Bin Mper village.
Kyerna survived. She was rushed to the hospital where she is currently receiving treatment for her injuries a mother who took the bullets meant for her children and lived to tell it.
