I honestly don’t know how to write this without sounding broken. I am Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo, and I just want to ask you to please remember the people who have been killed in Nigeria. Please don’t let their names become just another statistic. Behind every death is a family. A father who won’t come home. A mother whose children will never hear her voice again. A husband who told his wife he would be back. A child who is now growing up without a parent. Some families went to sleep expecting a normal day. They woke up to gunshots, destruction and the worst news anyone can receive. Today, some homes have empty chairs. Some children are asking questions nobody knows how to answer. Some widows are wondering how they will feed their children tomorrow. Some communities are still burying their loved ones while the rest of the world has already moved on to the next story. I know it is easy to scroll past these stories when they are happening somewhere far away. But imagine it was your family. Imagine getting that phone call. Imagine standing beside the grave of someone you spoke to, prayed with, ate with and loved just days before. Wouldn’t you want someone to remember them? Wouldn’t you want someone to pray for you? Wouldn’t you want someone to simply say, “You are not alone”? That is why I keep speaking. Not because I have all the answers, but because I refuse to forget. Please pray for Nigeria. Pray for the widows and orphans. Pray for the wounded. Pray for families who have lost everything. Pray for the communities living in fear. Pray for those working to protect innocent people. And pray for peace. The Bible says, “Mourn with those who mourn.” So today, I mourn with them. And I ask you to mourn with them too. To every family that has buried someone they love: we have not forgotten you. To every child who has lost a parent: you are not forgotten. To every widow trying to figure out how to face tomorrow: you are not forgotten. And to everyone reading this, please do one thing for me: Remember them when you pray tonight. May God comfort the brokenhearted, protect the innocent, bring peace to Nigeria and give strength to everyone carrying this pain. Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo
