Concerned Christian youth forum (CCYF) affirms genocide against Nigerian christians The Concerned Christian Youth Forum (CCYF) has raised fresh alarm over what it described as an ongoing “Christian genocide” in Nigeria, urging world leaders and human rights groups to intervene before the situation spirals further out of control. In a statement issued in Abuja on Friday and signed by its Convener, James Paul Adama, the group expressed solidarity with the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and other advocates demanding justice for victims of violent attacks on Christian communities across the country. Adama recalled that since 2010, several notable figures — including President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) — have repeatedly condemned the brutal killings of Christians, yet the violence persists with little accountability. “From villages burnt down to worshippers slaughtered in cold blood, the world cannot afford to look away any longer,” the statement read. The CCYF noted that the international community was beginning to take notice, with senators from various nations now publicly denouncing the atrocities. In a symbolic act of global solidarity, fans of the Romanian national football team recently displayed a banner during a World Cup qualifier match, boldly declaring support for persecuted Christians in Nigeria — a gesture the Forum described as “deeply moving and courageous.” The group accused unnamed individuals and organisations of deliberately spreading disinformation to downplay the crisis, warning that such actions only embolden perpetrators. “To those paid propagandists seeking to distort the truth, know this: your lies will not stand. The world is watching, and justice will come,” Adama said. He added that those found complicit in suppressing the truth about the killings would one day be held accountable “before history and before God.” The CCYF reaffirmed its commitment to working with both local and international partners to ensure justice for affected Christian communities, insisting that silence in the face of genocide is itself a form of complicity.

Independence Day Strategic Prophetic Action over Nigeria. Prophetic Walk on 1st October 2025. 'God is not finished with Nigeria'. ~ Bishop Ebiye

Nigeria @ 65; The Nation Of Our Dream, A Great Possibilities - Nobles Family Church. As Nigeria clocks 65 years of independence, the call for responsible leadership, national renewal and active citizenship has dominated the discourse. For the nobles family church international, a faith based community, it is a moment for intersession and reflection. At the prayer walk for the nation in the federal capital territory Abuja, the nobles family international and stakeholders urge Nigerians not to only pray but to participate fully in shaping the future of the country. Speaking at the prayer walk and rally for the nation and international believers summit(IBS) with the theme: Possibilities, the senior pastor of nobles family international, Bishop Ebiye Tuaweri said, "we must understand what made this possible is God, so we are handing over this nation to God, while we would do our bit". "The bit we are going to do is for everyone to go and register for it doesn't matter what is happening, no body should be afraid to go and register, do his bit so we can do our vote and allow God to the best for us". Speaking further, Ebiye stated "As we celebrate 65, no matter what we are passing through, we should work hard, everybody should work hard in anything we are doing and be careful where you go to and make sure you fall into the hands of the people who are destructive to this nation like men of the underworld". "We must do our best as a nation and see what God is going to do with us". Also speaking at the prayer work for the nation, the bishop elect of Nobles Family Rev. Prosper Isichei said "the church has the authority to bring the moral influence, to bring about the direction both transformational and eternal direction to the country and that strength of the church is what we are trying to unleash through this kind of prayers". "But also we think about the state of our country, Nigeria as a nation, we are at the lowest epp in our moral level, we have moral, spiritual bankruptcy today, leadership gaps, we have young and large population of people without direction and we know that the hearts of men are not controlled by rules, laws, but controlled by God". "Only God has access to heart and makes a true heart change and that is the reason why we are here, to call upon God to touch the hearts of the people, leaders and populace to bring a moral clarity to us, offcourse the church has always been praying and praying this much, imagine of we are not paying". "But we came here knowing that, we are joining the entire body of Christ praying for the redemption of our country and we believe, that God will do it, the first step to see physical transformation is to invest in spiritual transformation and thats what we are doing today", Rev. Prosper stressed. Other speakers also made the call for resilience and collective action stressing that faith must drive citizens into responsible engagement; On her part part Rev. Patricia Tuaweri said; "Frankly speaking, there are cars everywhere today, even the nation is not celebrating itself but the advice is, let's not give up, let's continue to do the best we can and, everybody in their little corners should keep doing what they're suppose to be doing just like i kept saying must times, we are all lights". "Little light here and there, we will lighten up Nigeria". "I believe strongly that, we can come back again to be the giant of Africa" Patricia emphasized. Also speaking, Pastor Sydney Akpotive said; "if the head is correct, the body is definitely correct, but you know because we are in Nigeria, we have seen some correct heads in private organization so we know , it can work in our national as well, so we are saying to our leaders that, the Lord will give them wisdom to rise up and take up the responsibility of leading, so we know that, you make policies that are difficult for the people but, beyond those polices, put action, energy to words". As 65, the message from faith community is clear, while prayers remains essential, the Nigeria of our dream will only emerge through honest leadership, active citizenship and a share commitment to the nations future.

Law Regulating Religious Preaching In Niger State is ill advised, anti-religious - Concerned Christian Youth Forum Warns. The Concerned Christian Youth Forum (CCYF) have been made aware of a new policy introduced by Governor Umar Bago requiring preachers to submit their sermons for approval prior to public delivery. In a statement made available to journalists signed by the convener; Paul James Adama, states that "Niger state has been in the limelight in recent times for some wrong reasons. This time, apart from the worrisome challenge of insecurity, the state government has exacerbated the situation by adding yet another concern to the gravely concerning condition of the state – the introduction of the law mandating all religious preachers in the state to submit their sermon notes for approval and obtain due approval from the government before preaching". Whilst we do not subscribe to reckless, hateful and inciteful preaching, the Concerned Christian Youth Forum (CCYF) wish to, in the most unambiguous terms denounce and reject such a law and dismiss it as ill-thought, ill-advised, anti-religious, discriminatory, oppressive and preposterous. This is nothing short of religious censorship and a gross violation of the fundamental human rights of the people as it relates to their freedom of thought and religion which is enshrined in Sections 38 and 39 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Under international law, Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) which the State of Nigeria is party to as well as the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) generally consider as oppressive and illegal, any form of restriction on the rights of people to exercise their freedom of religion. Furthermore, the United Nations Declaration on the Elimination of All Forms of Intolerance and of Discrimination Based on Religion or Belief (1981) provides for freedom of religion or belief. These key UN instruments provide freedom of thought, conscience and religion; freedom to change religion or belief; freedom to manifest, practice or express religion or belief; prohibition of all forms of discrimination and incitement and protection for all regardless of religion or belief. Religion is an ultra-sensitive matter in our nation as in most parts of the world, and so, it is expected of every right-thinking and well-meaning government to handle religious matters with judiciousness and caution. Now, come to think of it, apart from a horrifying insecurity situation, Niger state is grappling with widespread poverty having one of the highest poverty rates in the country with well over 64% of her population living below the poverty line despite being the largest state in terms of land mass. Basie infrastructures like electricity, healthcare facilities, drinkable water supply and education are out of reach of most of the population. The average adult literacy rate of the state is somewhere in the region of 38.1% as at 2022 far below the national average of 63.16%. Appalling! Tackling these underlying developmental issues should be the concerns of any well-meaning government and not stifling religious freedom. Even the insecurity situation in the state could be a direct offshoot of the abysmal poverty and underdevelopment prevalent in the state. Therefore, formulating people-oriented policies aimed at enhancing the economic prospects of the state and lifting people out of poverty should be the major focus of any right-thinking government and not resorting to diversionary tactics by introducing a totally irrelevant, unreasonable, illogical and inappropriate law. At this point, we join other well-meaning voices both within and outside the state as well as across religious divides in denouncing this obnoxious, oppressive, repressive and retrograde law. We stand for religious sanity and denounce every form of inflammatory speech or religious incitement. However, we appeal to the government of Niger state to jettison forthwith, the law subjecting preachers to mandatory licensing and requiring preachers to submit their sermon notes for verification and approval. This is in the interest of good governance, peace, justice, respect for the Rule of Law, the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the relevant instruments and charters of the United Nations on religious freedom.

Dr Paul Enenche speaking at the Ugandan Economic and leadership summit has said "true leadership is measured not only by titles held but by exemplary lives lived". "True Leadership Transcends Tittles, Positions". The Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Dr Paul Enenche, made this known on Wednesday in well articulated and delivered keynote address at the Uganda Leadership & Economic Summit, held in Kampala. The summit coincided with the ongoing Healing and Deliverance Crusade in the country. The high-profile event brought together distinguished personalities, including the Minister of Kampala, Hon. Minsa Kabanda; Pastor Robert Kayanja and his wife, Pastor Jessica Kayanja; the Ambassador of Ethiopia to Uganda, H.E. Etsegenet Bezabih Yimenu; and Hon. Esther Davinia Anyakun, Minister of State for Gender, Labour and Social Development (Labour, Employment and Industrial Relations), alongside other leaders and emerging voices. The gathering focused on leadership principles that drive societal transformation. Speaking on the theme “The Act of Leadership,” Dr Enenche emphasized that leadership transcends titles and positions. “True leadership is measured not only by titles held but by exemplary lives lived, lives that inspire, influence, and drive change across generations,” he stated. He further outlined the hallmarks of responsible leadership: being in touch with the people, accepting responsibility for their challenges, mobilizing resources for their welfare, building and rebuilding systems and structures, and fostering human development. According to him, “A leader is a generational asset. When someone is a leader, his presence is felt, his absence is noticed and people experience the positivity of his impact.” In her remarks, the Minister of Ka :Pmpala, Hon. Minsa Kabanda, expressed gratitude for Dr Enenche’s teaching, noting its relevance and depth. “I have enjoyed the teaching from Pastor Paul. It was part of us. The summary was about acceptance of responsibility. Being a minister is not a simple issue, you meet different people of faith and tribe. We need your prayers,” she said.

68 Countries, Global Ministers Unite at Dunamis Church, Glory Dome For 2025 Flaming Fire Conference. The 2025 edition of the International Ministers Flaming Fire Conference commenced at the Glory Dome, headquarters of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Abuja, Nigeria, drawing delegations from over 68 nations across the world. Representatives from the United States, United Kingdom, Pakistan, the Netherlands, China, Czech Republic, Ghana, Malawi, India, Australia, Russia, Japan, Rwanda, South Africa and several other nations are in attendance. The week-long conference, with the theme “Territorial Dominion,” began on August 26 and will climax with a special thanksgiving service on August 31. Several renowned global international ministers, including Dr. Bill Winston, Steven Brooks, Bishop Dag Heward-Mills, Chioma Jesus, Michelle Benedek and others, are ministering alongside the hosts, Dr. Paul and Dr. Mrs. Becky Paul-Enenche. The highlight of the first evening (Day1) was the introduction of delegations from different nations, with each group greeting in their native languages before a special prayer session for all nations represented. In his opening message, Dr. Paul Enenche emphasized the theme “Territorial Dominion” by drawing from the story of Philip in Samaria. He explained that Philip entered the city without title, publicity, or human backing, yet the whole city was shaken under divine influence. “Every entity in Samaria, whether spiritual or physical, was aware that something had shifted because Philip had arrived,” Dr. Enenche said. “The question is: when last did you enter a place and both heaven and hell recognized your arrival?” He noted that Philip’s entry into Samaria was not by personal choice but by divine orchestration through persecution. Using this as a backdrop, Dr. Enenche declared that pressure is often the birthplace of power. “Every time the devil does his worst, God sets the stage to do His best. Seasons of persecution are seasons of visitation. Fresh battles attract fresh mantles,” he charged, assuring ministers who may feel weary that God releases fresh oil in seasons of resistance. Outlining the forces behind Philip’s territorial impact, Dr. Enenche identified three keys: the force of the Spirit, the force of the Word, and the force of Power.
