The meeting held on ZOOM was well attended by Christians both home in Nigeria  and in the Diaspora. The platform attendance was oversubscribed such that many interested participants were denied access at cutoff. This was an indication of the Christian community’s great concern about the killings going on in Southern Kaduna.

VOICE OF THE PERSECUTED

A few days ago, National Christian Elders Forum (NCEF) issued a Press Release announcing the setting up of Lay Faithful Trust Fund for the purpose of supporting Christian advocacy and intervention. We thank the NCEF for the bold and timely step.

The violation of the Federal Character Principle, enshrined in Section 14(3) of the Constitution, by the current Federal Administration, particularly as it relates to Security Units, constitutes double jeopardy for the Christian community in Nigeria.

Calling Christians into effective national leadership through participation in politics and governance.

National Christian Elders Forum (NCEF) wishes to express heartfelt condolence to the families and individuals affected in the genocide recurring in southern Kaduna amongst the Christian indigenous ethnic nationalities. The recurring decimal of violence and destruction against the Christian communities in northern Nigeria, Middle Belt, and in the other parts of the country is clarion call for Christian alert and proactive response.

Christian Social Movement of Nigeria (CSMN) wishes to join the generality of Nigerians in
expressing grave concern on the assault on Democracy in Nigeria. The judgment of the
Supreme Court validating the 2019 Presidential Election has not been helpful.

The black man has always been a ‘sufferhead’ since the 15^th century when slavery was introduced and sanctioned by European countries in the 17^th century.  In between, slaves were transported to the Americas when slavery stopped it took some time before the practice was halted in Africa.  The last race to accept that slavery was a crime against humanity was the Arabs but they continued in the trade until amalgamation.  Lugard wrote “Slavery in Northern Provinces: I cannot here deal at any length with the subject of slavery, but the question of labor supply so intimately affects the development of Nigeria, that a few words regarding it will not be out of place. It was mentioned in paragraph 2 that in 1900 when the Administration of Northern Nigeria reverted from the Chartered Company to the Crown, large armies led by Fulani chiefs annually raided for slaves, and had depopulated the country. With the conquest of the Moslem States, these organized raids were put to an end. By the abolition of the ‘Legal Status’ of slavery, a slave had power to assert his freedom. 

Exhortation

“I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of
thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may
lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
