Expert Topics:

  • Ongoing, systematic genocide of Christians in Nigeria: thousands killed, villages wiped out, churches burned, and communities forcibly displaced—far beyond “tribal conflict” or “farmer–herder clashes.”

  • Mainstream media, Western governments, and many international bodies downplay or ignore the crisis, often mislabeling it as “climate change” or generic violence instead of targeted anti-Christian persecution.

  • Radical Islamist groups (including Fulani ethnic militias and other jihadist factions) are driving the attacks, operating with impunity under Sharia-influenced systems and amid government and military inaction or complicity.

  • Nigerian security forces frequently fail to intervene in time—or at all—during massacres, reinforcing the claim of “genocide by policy” and exposing deep corruption and bias within state structures.

  • Equipping The Persecuted’s mission: rapid response within 24 hours after attacks with medical aid, food, basic supplies, trauma care, and prayer support, plus long-term work like wells, orphan care, and church/community rebuilding.

  • Proactive security work: training villages in basic security awareness, establishing response teams, issuing terror alerts, and helping communities implement emergency plans and protective measures.

  • Spiritual impact: sharing the gospel and strengthening persecuted believers, with testimonies of Muslims coming to Christ even as persecution intensifies.

  • Call to action for Western Christians: pray, wake up to the reality of persecution, pressure political leaders for meaningful intervention, and support on-the-ground ministries financially and practically.

  • Exposing narratives and funding: challenging false media frames, asking who funds jihadist violence, and warning how revolutionary and watered‑down theology in the West dulls the church’s response.

Bio

Judd Saul is a family man, award-winning documentary filmmaker, entrepreneur, and missionary who embarked on a call to action in Nigeria in 2011. He and his wife Sherry have 5 children, all witnessing the vision unfold when Grandfather Duane Wessels invited Judd to join him on a mission trip. The trip changed Judd’s life forever. He realized the stark reality, of the risk and sacrifice facing these people, and a burden was placed on his heart for the lost and persecuted Christians in Nigeria.

Since then, ministering to Nigerians has been a part of Judd’s life, regularly serving in Nigeria for over ten years, and he continues to visit 3-4 times a year. It was apparent that escalating attacks outpaced the few Christian missions and organizations effectively responding to the attacks. Talking to local ministers and missionaries, Judd decided to start Equipping The Persecuted to respond and help persecuted Christians in need quickly.

The local leadership affirmed that there are effective ways to help persecuted Christians in addition to victim aftercare. A proactive, prevention mission was put together with a team of “tested by fire” pastors, missionaries, and dedicated supporters to avert crises – creating the boots on the ground, locally managed Equipping The Persecuted.

Truth Nigeria will report with fearless honesty the grim, tragic side of Nigeria’s struggle with corruption and crime but will exalt the soaring spiritual aspiration of Nigerian believers and the common path of Nigerians and Americans to a date with destiny.

Projects

TruthNigeria.com is a project of Equipping the Persecuted, a humanitarian-aid nonprofit chartered in Sioux City, Iowa since 2019.

The founder of Truth Nigeria is filmmaker and evangelist Judd Saul, who received a calling to respond to the human suffering of persecuted Nigerian Christians after a visit to Nigeria in 2011.

All staff and volunteers at Truth Nigeria are called to expose the avoidable loss of life in that country through every possible electronic media. But Truth Nigeria also pledges itself to heal the wounds of war among the greatly gifted and blessed people of the Niger basin and to advance the Great Commission. Truth Nigeria had to be launched to slice through the fog of war and the cloud of false narrative that bedevils mainstream media reporting of what many call a “Christian genocide” in Nigeria that has been spreading like a cancer.

We at Truth Nigeria will support the existing efforts of patriotic Nigerians to hold criminals in government and elsewhere accountable for crime, abuse of power and misuse of public assets. We uphold the natural right of all people in Africa to enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, rule of law and access to just paths to prosperity. There are 218 million stories to be told in Nigeria, and we stand confidant that the Nigerian people have the same aspirations, the same respect for truth, beaty and goodness as the people of all nations. Where there are possible bridges between the United States and Nigeria, we will build them. The common humanity between the two countries will be explored and celebrated.

The reporters and producers at TruthNigeria include award winning journalists such as Douglas Burton, Masara Kim and Beloved John. Reporters across Nigeria are being recruited and trained.
