Thank you for listening. Thank you.

Thank you. How did you deal with the world that I sent my son to die for and redeem? How did you fight the good fight to share the good news and keep evil in check?

How did you shine your light and be a beacon of truth in the darkness? Did you shrink back in fear when they demanded you change my message? Did you call evil good and good evil? Did you forsake my love for that of another, lying with the adulterer and setting up a new idol in your life? Have you defiled yourself through compromise and tolerance of that which I call an abomination? Have you innocent blood on your hands for the children murdered on your watch and the young ones perverted in their way by evil men, seeking their own comfort and reviling me?

No. At the end of the day, I want him to simply say the evidence is in. Well done, thou good and faithful servant. I love my God and I love his creation, and I will go to my grave telling the world that evil is evil and only God is good, and Jesus came to save the world.

That no matter the evil in the world, I will never give up, and in spite of the hate, I will love in truth. God bless you all, and may love remove the veil, so you all might enter into his rest. Welcome to Chosen Generation with your host, Pastor Greg Young. But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people, that you should shew forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light, which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God, which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

And now, Chosen Generation, where no topic is off limits, and everything is filtered through biblical glasses. And now, here's your host, Pastor Greg. And welcome to the program.

Great to have you with me. Thanks so much for being here for this very special broadcast. We're live with Masara Kim in Nigeria, Africa, and it is my sincere pleasure to welcome him to this very special broadcast. Folks, we want you to understand the seriousness of what is happening in Nigeria.

It is so critically important to understand this, and I welcome one of the men who is bringing this forward. And just a little bit of a background, Masara Kim, when he was a very young boy, injured his arm. And that injury, because they lived in a very poor village and had very poor medical attention, turned into a staph infection that could well have killed him, and they had to amputate his arm.

Take that off as a young boy. He has overcome that amputation and is now considered one of the leading voices in Nigeria bringing forward this truth. Masara, welcome to the program, to this extra portion. Thank you for being here, sir.

Thank you so much, Pastor Greg, and thank you for joining us, the audience. Sir, I guess, so let's begin with a fresh slate. I know we just did some interview on air on the radio, but let's begin with a little bit of a fresh slate and bring people into what you're seeing and what you're watching happen in your home country of Nigeria.

Start at the top. There's a President Buhari who was actually put into power by the Obama administration here in the United States under the assurances that he was going to be friendly to everyone. Talk to us about how his policies have impacted Christians there in Nigeria and then, I guess, work your way down through the military and so on. Yeah, first of all, his coming to power started off with what I would say actually a restriction or rather an alteration of the Christian education curriculum at the high school level. He completely abolished Christian religious studies in the high school, and that marked the foundation of what I would say the ultimate jihad against Christianity. Next, we started having lopsided appointments, the appointment of Muslims to even head, you know, Christian institutions, Christian communities and Christian constituencies. Now, what that also means is that Christianity began losing its grip politically. It began losing, you know, even its foundation legally because the legal system itself has been, you know, controlled and tilted to favor the Muslims. First, you have a Sharia law expert as the chief judge of a so-called secular country, and that's actually what has been happening.

And therefore, any case that comes from the Christian community, any suit at all, that is supposed to ensure justice for Christians is tilted in the favor of, you know, the Muslims, with or without merit. You know, and just a number of actually issues and, of course, the appointments, you know, into the military and others, particularly the military, you know, which have resulted in persistent attacks and consistent withholding of military support in areas where terrorist activities tend to be or have appeared to be endemic, which of course has largely been, you know, Christian communities. In the southeast, you have only Christian communities attacked. Of course, there have been a few Muslim communities, you know, that have been attacked by Boko Haram, but those are the moderate Muslim communities and or those that were not known to be Muslim communities. So they happen to be, they just happen to have been caught, you know, in the crossfire, usually, you know, but the larger percentage of the terrorism that happened happened to Nigeria, actually, particularly in central Nigeria, has been against, you know, the, you know, the Christian community and the president just sits by and watch.

And in most cases, actually sends the military to arrest any Christian that goes out with a stick, with slingshots, with beam guns, you know, to defend themselves against these AK-47 and sometimes machine gun carrying terrorists. And you ask the question, is this a regime that swore to protect all Nigerians by virtue of Section 14 of the current 1999 Constitution? I lost you. You went on hold. Masari, you put me on hold. I'm not exactly sure what happened, folks, hopefully. Okay. You accidentally put me on hold.

I think a code came in and I was trying to put that up. All right. So the president of Nigeria has remained silent as terrorists have assaulted and terrorized Christians across Nigeria, in particular in central Nigeria, where you're reporting from. And can you give me an estimation as to how many Christians have been murdered as a result of these terrorist acts by Boko Haram and the Fulani herdsmen? And I want to get into defining these Fulani herdsmen, because, again, the news media wants us to believe that it's the Fulani herdsmen that are actually the ones that have been wronged and they're the ones that are victims and so on. So we've got to talk about that, I believe.

Yeah. First of all, actually, the Nigerian media is largely controlled by the government. Even the media outlets that are not owned by the government are subjected to some sort of censorship and sometimes oppression, actually.

There's a large oppression of free speech here in Nigeria, especially when it tends to expose the truth, you know, and therefore a lot of people, even those who have the truth are very forceful. The call's been muted again, sir. Are you still with me? All right. Now we're back on hold.

Massara is getting a lot of interruptions from phone calls that are coming through and or trying to push through. And unfortunately, when that is happening, we are losing. OK. I apologize.

I apologize. So because of the fact that the media is controlled and in most cases modeled by, you know, the Buhari administration, it is very difficult for the world to know the truth. The few of us that are left to tell the truth here are consistently haunted.

I'll give you an example. Last year, precisely the 21st of September, you can check that out online. I was arrested and detained by the DSS, the Department of State Services, which is the secret police of Nigeria. You know, and after I was interrogated and held for four for four long hours, I was released after two days. And the day I was released, I was picked by the police. And what I later learned after I was released was that the military was hunting for me to go into hiding. I was looking forward to running to a safer country to seek asylum until I just had a second thought that, look, I still have family and friends here.

And moreover, there are thousands of Christians that do not have a voice here. I am perhaps the only voice they are looking for, I mean, looking up to. So if I run away, it would mean that they would not only be crushed, but they would be crushed in their silence.

And therefore I have to stay behind, you know, to help tell the story. But again, consistently I have been subjected to attack. Last year, again, shortly before I was detained, I was hunted. I was chased as a matter of fact. I drove on more than 120 kilometers an hour in the night at about 10 p.m. actually, trying to escape from terrorists that were driving on high speed after me, you know, trying as much as possible to block my way for whatever reason.

But I could see, you know, from the window of my car, you know, trying to wind down and gain access for whatever reason. But I suspect that to have been, you know, an attempt to assassinate me. And just three weeks ago, a human rights, a Christian rights lawyer actually was abducted. And the terrorists actually, who opened his profile, they told him who he was and what he had been doing and why they had to touch him. And they told him clearly that we have been sent to assassinate you.

We are not happy with what you are doing and therefore this has to be the end. But of course, well, perhaps with the intervention of God, of course, through the prayers, you know, of, you know, the Christians, you know, who knew, who, you know, went into southern prayers as soon as they learned of his kidnap, you know, he negotiated. And whatever, they told him that he had an option to buy back his life. So he paid over $40,000 to buy back his life. Now imagine that.

They either kill you and displace you from your home or they spoil your crops so that you die of hunger or they part you with your wealth. Now this man, this lawyer by the name of Mr. Yang Zing, you know, had to even borrow the last chunk of the money he used to buy back his life was borrowed. Now this is somebody who lives on less than $200 income a month. Tell me how long he is going to pay back that loan. If not more than, you know, perhaps selling off his property and perhaps, you know, living in debt for the next 10 years, if not more. Let me interject for just a second because, you know, the other issue that exists with regards to this is, you know, this lawyer now has this situation where he's got to try to make a living. And as Sharia law, and tell me if I'm wrong, but as Sharia law is instituted in the areas where this attorney resides because he's not a Sharia compliant attorney, he's not able to practice in the courts any longer. And so therefore he's not even able to practice law anymore.

Yeah, exactly. What that means also, you know, of course, these attorneys actually live by, you know, appearing in court and offering, you know, legal services and all of that. Though 80 to 90% of his services are offered for free, especially for persecuted, you know, Christians. But again, of course, what that means is that increasingly there are about 250 to 60 Christian lawyers in platform state like him.

Now, all of them, I have spoken with their leaders, all of them have faced one threat or the other. And what that means also is that by the time they are pushed into extension, you know, or the courts are fully converted, you know, to Sharia court, these lawyers can no longer practice and they can no longer stand in the defense of Christians. And of course, they cannot earn, you know, to do anything at all. And that means also removing the economic power of not just these lawyers, but also the Christians that rely on them, you know, to maintain their properties in places where they are facing persecution or have been forced to leave. You know, it also means that, of course, where communities are being forcefully annexed, you know, through conquest or land grabbing and all of that, of course, the possibility of regaining them or reclaiming them is almost lost. And what that means is that in time when eventually the government decides to just take or slam Sharia law in the whole of the country, no one will be able to challenge, you know, these practices.

Absolutely. Talk to us about now the Fulani herdsmen. We hear a lot in the news about Fulani herdsmen.

And if you listen to some of the reports that come out, they want us to believe that the Fulani herdsmen are somehow the victims, if you will, of all of this. Hang on a minute. We're going to be getting him back in just a moment. We're working on the reconnection here again.

We're talking with Massara live. Massara, can you tell me who are the Fulani herdsmen and are they victims in all of this or are they the aggressors? Okay. They are. Are you there?

Are you there? Because we have Christian, Christian livestock farmers and of course they are hurting them. In the United States we have, you know, livestock, you know, everywhere in Europe, in practically every part of the world. And these are not of the Fulani tribe. My apologies, folks. We've had a minor disconnection.

Go ahead, Massara. You were saying. I'm losing you again. Now we're on hold again. I'm not sure, to be honest with you, if his phone is receiving actual calls or if he's just being harassed right now.

It is certainly possible that he is actually being harassed right now on his phone. So we will continue to hold on here for a moment and he should be able to rejoin us shortly. Hang on, I'm going to, I want to play this piece for you.

This is Marjorie Taylor Greene. And let's see if we can get to that piece. And if we look at our, you know, in the Bible at people, the apostles and followers of Christ who lived their faith, it wasn't easy for them. As a matter of fact, they were attacked. They were, you know, just persecuted. And you have to live your faith because right now we are a free people. And if we can't boldly live our faith when we're a free people, then how do they think it's going to be when they're really tested and they're not a free people? So don't be afraid to live your faith. And that means get involved and stand firm for all of our values and every level of government.

City, county, you know, school board, state, federal, get involved, show up, be present, hold people accountable, run for office, you know, just get out there. That's the way to do it. Okay.

We are attempting to try to get Masara Kim back on the phone from Nigeria. But let me give you some overviews of some things that he shared. In one particular terrorist attack, 300 Christians were murdered. This was in a village where Muslims and Christians were living together. And in that particular village where Muslims and Christians were living together, there was an imam that masked some of the Christians. But the Muslims were left alone. The Muslims were never attacked.

Yet 300 Christians were murdered just in one village alone. I think we have Masara back on the phone. Masara, are you back with me? Yes, I sincerely apologize. I honestly apologize to you, Pastor Greg, and of course the audience.

I have very serious problems with my network here. Okay. We were talking about the president of Nigeria and the silence that he is basically not saying anything about what's happening to Christians, not intervening. We were then talking about the Fulani herdsmen and you were talking about the difference between the Fulani herdsmen and the Christian herdsmen that actually are the farmers and actually are the ones that are producing and dealing with livestock. But the Fulani herdsmen name is actually a false narrative.

Is that correct? Actually, this name herdsmen or bandits, they choose to call them just to amplify the Christians that have been persecuted. It's not a cover. I could as well use my journalism as a cover to just do anything. And I think that this is actually what they are doing. They are just using their business, their trade as a cover to what they are doing. What they are doing is full terrorism. The Nigerian counter-terrorism law says that just anyone who threatens the lives of another is a terrorist. Now you have people who have not just killed, maimed, destroyed, but even ripped open the dummies of pregnant women slaughtering their unborn babies. And you don't want to call these people terrorists simply because they have someone at the helm.

I think that that's the highest form of injustice you can ever think of. And of course, it is not just the silence from the president that is concerning. It is a lot more the continued aiding and abating of these crimes by the president, by his government, and by his party men. Unfortunately, actually, even the few Christians that are in government or in politics have been intimidated into silence.

And the president and his cohorts tend to continually have a few days. And it's much more concerning that the international community, say for just a few people like you and a few organizations like yours that are intervening, the entire world is silent. And these things are spreading. As of 2001, only about 10 villages in Plato State have been sacked and annexed by these terrorists. By 2010, over 40 of them have been annexed. And today, as we speak, over 76 of Christian communities have been annexed and turned into noble zones for the Christians.

And not only that, they have been converted into launch pads for attacks. Practically any attack that takes place in central Nigeria on Plato State is commandeered from one of these communities. Now you have about 300 more communities that have been annexed. Another 80 communities have been annexed in neighboring Kaduna. Actually, 140 have been annexed in neighboring Kaduna State, and another 40 in Benoit State.

And these things are expanding. Believe me, in the next 5 to 10 years, the whole of Nigeria could be captured and converted completely into an Islamic territory. And what that means is that the allies of the United States, like Ghana, you know, Benoit Republic, and others that perhaps the United States carries out trade with, the international community relates with in West Africa, are going to follow suit.

And gradually, of course, it will expand to other parts of Africa, and eventually it will get to the United States and Europe and other parts of the world. And that is actually what, you know, we share, I personally share, because going by a report that I read this morning actually, by 2050 to 2073, the world religion, the dominant religion in the world is going to be Islam. And what is concerning actually, I think, it is not a crime for anyone to practice their religion, but when force becomes the tool, you know, for evangelism, when violence becomes the tool for evangelism, for conversion, then I think that something is fundamentally wrong. And we all know that Islam is the only religion that uses violence to command respect and loyalty. And by the time 38% or 38 to 48% of the world is converted to Islam, now what that means is that more than half of the world or the remaining populations of the world are going to increasingly face intimidation and persecution until you forcefully yield to them.

And that should be a concern to the entire global community. And that is, those are your options. Your options are to submit or be murdered. And you don't have the option to believe anything other than Islam or to follow anything other than Islam.

You can't remain Christian and be at peace in an Islamic totalitarian situation. They won't allow it. Period.

They just won't allow it. Let's go back to talking about, again, you know, the issues that are related. You're watching young girls that are consistently taken into slavery, villages that are consistently being raided. Now, I know that there's been some Christian attempts at Christian militia resistance, but when you have the Nigerian army under the control of Islam, whenever they try to do that, the army comes in and basically kills those people. Am I right? Yeah, very well. So essentially, at this point, I mean, I hate to look at this so bleakly, but how in the world, I mean, we need prayer, but what needs to happen in Nigeria to stop this and to stop these Muslims from literally exterminating Christianity in Nigeria, which, by the way, Nigeria at one point was about 75 to 80 percent Christian.

Yeah, correct. So what needs to happen to stop this? Massara, are you there?

We've lost him again. That's the $24 million question. Massara, what are you and your friends hoping will happen to stop all of this?

What could stop this? First of all, President Buhari needs to be, President Buhari has to be prosecuted, prosecuted for war crimes. He has to be prosecuted and that should serve as a deterrent to anyone coming after him. And I believe that when the president, who is like the other head of the full energy heart in Nigeria goes down, I believe that they will be forced, you know, to lay down their arms.

When he won election in 2015, I personally heard some of them, not someone told me, I personally heard some of them saying, now we have the government and we will do anything and get away with it. And that exactly is what has been happening. Let me remind the world that in 1989, when the first meeting conference of the OIC held in Abuja, in Abuja, the capital of Nigeria, a resolution actually was made to the effect that the whole of Africa and Nigeria particularly have to be delivered to Islam. And Christianity was specifically mentioned, you know, for eradication. But again, what is concerning is the fact that, yes, while it was General Babangida that, while it was, no, Murtala Mohammed actually, that conscripted Nigeria into the OIC, it was Buhari himself as a military general in the 80s that signed the upgrade of Nigeria's status from an observer member to a permanent member of the OIC. So it would appear that he is back now to continue, you know, the agenda that has been started long at that time.

And now he has been, his policies, the language has been, you know, the murder of all of these Christians within the country. If Christian political leaders have been mollified and threatened and have coalesced, who is left inside of Nigeria to accuse Buhari of these war crimes and put him on trial? Isn't this going to have to be an intervention from another nation that's going to have to come in and do something in order to rescue Nigerians?

I think the right move actually started with apologies, actually, to supporters of President Biden. It started actually with the declaration of Nigeria, you know, during the Trump administration, a country with violations of religious freedom. And I also remember that there were restrictions, you know, on the visa restrictions actually placed on some Nigerian officials. Now, I think that the U.S. Department of State, which recently, I think, some two, three months ago, released a report. No, I'm talking about January, I think January or February, you should probably in three, four years, four months ago, released a report, you know, highlighting human rights abuses in Nigeria.

I think it could go ahead, you know, to bring out these issues. But Masara, that was still under the Trump administration, unfortunately. All of those people have been kicked out. And now we have the Biden administration, which has turned to death here. We have a new administration. We possibly have, the United States probably has, you know, a new administration that does not possibly care about, you know, these happenings. But then again, it should care. I agree.

I agree that they should. I guess the issue is, and I guess the message to you, my audience, is this. What's happening in Nigeria is happening in other parts of the world as well. Islam is on the rise and they are committing a bloody, murderous destruction. Turkey is doing it in Syria to the Armenians. It is happening in Iraq. Iran is involved in this as well. They are closing in on Israel and they are killing Christians all around the world. And it's going to be coming to a neighborhood near you, my American audience. And this is what you get when you elect someone like Joe Biden and put him in the White House and you give power to the House and to the Senate to continue to basically force these kinds of policies.

They have consequences and Christians are being killed because of the votes of, quote unquote, Christians that voted for Joe Biden. You need to change. You should be ashamed and you need to change what you're doing. And God bless you, Masara, for all you're doing. We will be praying for you and for your protection. And I am telling my audience right now, you need to influence those around you. And we have got to make a change in the political atmosphere in America because murder is happening around the world because of the man sitting in the White House right now.

And remember, you will be responsible. Have you defiled yourself through compromise and tolerance of that which I call an abomination? Have you innocent blood on your hands for the children murdered on your watch and the young ones perverted in their way by evil men seeking their own comfort and reviling me?

No. At the end of the day, I want him to simply say the evidence is in. Well done, thou good and faithful servant. I love my God and I love his creation. And I will go to my grave telling the world that evil is evil and only God is good. And Jesus came to save the world. That no matter the evil in the world, I will never give up. And in spite of the hate, I will love in truth. God bless you all and may love remove the veil so you all might enter into his rest. Thank you.
