🇳🇬 As a soldier who has buried too many brothers, let me tell you this:
You're absolutely right. I've seen bandits who can recite Surah Al-Fatiha better than some imams and still slit a man's throat for ₦5,000. I've seen them fast in Ramadan and feast on ransom money at iftar. Don't confuse ritual with righteousness.
They don't care about your prayers. They don't care about your tears. They care about money, power, and the terror they spread. Some masquerade as "repentant" only to return to the bush with more weapons.
I've knelt beside dying soldiers who whispered Shahada with their last breath. And I've watched the men who killed them celebrate with stolen cattle.
This isn't a religious war. It's a war against evil dressed in rags. And the only language they understand is what we speak through the barrel of a gun.
Pray if you want. But keep your rifle close. Because when they come, they're not counting your beads they're counting your bullets.
TERRORIST SURVIVOR 💪🏽@GbolahanOlanyi0
Those bandits don’t give a fuck if you recite every Surah in the Quran while begging them, they don’t give a fuck about God/Allah. They don’t pray they don’t fast. if you think they are doing this in the name of religion. 😢 They're heartless 💔 if you die you die.

Not a single word from Abel is recorded in Scripture. Cain murders him, and Cain has something to say. But the victim of violence? the recipient of hate? the righteous one? Not a syllable.
Cain has words, Abel none.
But Abel does speak in a different language. He utters crimson eloquence, red rhetoric so profound his speech pierces heaven's veil to lodge in the ears of God.
How so? The Lord says, "The voice of your brother's blood is crying to me from the ground" (Gen. 4:10).
You see what's happening?
1. Blood has a voice.
2. Blood cries out to God.
3. Blood is heard by heaven.
Far, far later, the author of Hebrews wrote about another crimson eloquence, about more red rhetoric. He says that the blood of Jesus "speaks better than the blood of Abel" (12:24).
Whatever Abel's blood said to God, Christ's blood said it better.
The voice of Jesus's blood, crying out from the ground beneath the cross, piercing the heavens, lodging in the ears of God, speaks one and only one message: "Father, forgive them."
That eloquent blood pronounces the absolution of the world, you included.
Believe it. It is for you.
