CHRISTIAN SOCIAL MOVEMENT OF NIGERIA (CSMN)
DIRECTORATE OF POLITICS & GOVERNANCE

CSMN cordially invites Christians to the next Christian Political Mobilization Meeting. This would be the fifth meeting in these series.

Theme:
THE RACE FOR 2023: HOW PREPARED ARE CHRISTIANS IN POLITICS?

Christian Social Movement of Nigeria (CSMN), under its VOICE OF THE PERSECUTED program held another “conversation of the conscience” on the unwarranted and illegal incarceration of Prof. Solomon Tarfa. The Christian leader was locked up for no other crime but for operating a Christian orphanage in Kano State. Prof. Tarfa, and 17 children from the orphanage have been unjustly incarcerated for 11 months and two weeks as of the time the program was taking place.

The Chairman of National Christian Elders Forum (NCEF) is a fan of Kwasi Kwarteng, a Negro historian of Ghanaian descent and member of British Parliament who in his book titled Ghost of the Empire selected two countries in Africa. He concluded in his Introduction that: “It is a mistake to think that administrators were motivated by liberal ideals of democracy.  In many cases they chose careers in the empire precisely because they were not democrats.

Here is a digression placed before we have even commenced – it comes in form of a question directed at prominent sectors of the international media, and even the United Nations, whose deliberations I recently watched: what’s in a name? Or, straight to the point – why ‘Boko Haram’? That is not the name the Nigerian pustule of a global religious inflamation chose for themselves. Muhammed Yusuf and his founding cohorts had settled for the grandiloquent name of ‘Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’awati wal-Jihad’ – People Committed to the Propagation of the Prophet’s Teachings and Jihad. Even if Nigerians found themselves ill prepared and ill equipped to cope with this sudden and brutal affliction, they understood and held on to the psychological weapon of – naming! They even declined to concede a shortened version such as – ‘Committed People’, ‘The Prophet’s Jihadists’ or whatever - No, Nigerians , Boko Haram (The Book is Anathema) is what you are, Boko Haram is what your actions read. Language is also an instrument of war. This is a theme that requires addressing in its own right, as a principle of resistance.

In line with the accountability and transparency policy of Christian Social Movement of Nigeria, please find below link to the Statement of Accounts of the donations and expenses for the month of October 2020.

The National Christian Elders Forum held an Emergency Meeting on Thursday 22nd October, 2020 following the attacks and destructions that climaxed the ENDSARS protests. NCEF waited for the President of Nigeria to deliver his speech to the country before commencing with the meeting.

If you are a Nigerian Christian, you need to watch this.

Please watch and share.
Let us match faith with works.

God bless you.

In line with our accountability and transparency policy, the accounts of Christian Social Movement of Nigeria for the period October 2014 – December 2019 has been audited and the preliminary Report has been handed over to the Chairman of the Governing Council as well as the National Christian Elders Forum.

TOPIC: GENOCIDE IN NIGERIA: IS THERE HOPE OF JUSTICE FOR THE VICTIMS?
Sunday 20th September 2020

PREAMBLE
In furtherance of its advocacy for persecuted Christians in Nigeria, Christian Social Movement of Nigeria (CSMN), conducted another edition of its “conversation of conscience” tagged VOICE OF THE PERSECUTED on Sunday 20th September 2020. In the second edition, the meeting focused on securing justice for the victims of the insurgency.

The National Christian Elders Forum (NCEF) wishes to express alarm at the news that the Federal Executive Council (FEC), during its meeting of Wednesday 23rd September, 2020 approved the sum of $1.9 billion to construct rail line from Kano-Dutse-Katsina-Jibia to Maradi in Niger Republic. This project is not only insensitive but absurd considering the many areas in Nigeria that are yet to be linked by modern rail system.
