The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, has declared a nationwide one-day prayer to seek divine intervention against what it described as ongoing “g+nocide” in parts of the country.

The directive followed resolutions made at CAN’s National Executive Council meeting held in Jos, Plateau State. In a memo dated November 20, 2025, and signed by CAN General Secretary, Apostle Prof. Samson A. Fatokun, the association instructed all bloc leaders, zonal and state chairmen, heads of church denominations, and resident pastors to mobilise their congregations for the special prayer scheduled for Sunday, December 7, 2025.

According to the memo, the prayer, which will be observed simultaneously across all Christian denominations in Nigeria, will focus on five key areas: ending the alleged g+nocide against Christians, ensuring the safe resettlement of displaced victims, halting the activities of t+rrorists, k+dn@ppers, and b@ndits, granting divine wisdom to those in government, and restoring peace and tranquility nationwide.

“The CAN President, His Eminence Archbishop (Dr.) Daniel C. Okah, has directed that this prayer be taken with all fervency,” the memo stated. “We strongly believe that our God will rise in power as He did in Esther’s time.”

Citing biblical passages from 2 Chronicles 7:14 and Esther 4:15–16, CAN urged churches to intercede passionately, expressing confidence that the spiritual exercise would lead to divine intervention for the nation.

The memo, titled: “Declaration of a One-Day Nation-Wide Prayer Against Christian G+nocide in Nigeria,” concluded with assurances from the CAN President and national leadership of their commitment to safeguarding the interests and welfare of Christians across the country.

"WHEN A WICKED PERSON D!ES, PEOPLE REJOICE NOT BECAUSE OF DEATH ITSELF, BUT BECAUSE THE OPPRESSION HAS ENDED." - TAMBARI JACOB, TO LATE SENATOR BARRY MPIGI

Social media commentator Tambari Jacob has come under heavy criticism following a controversial post he made shortly after news broke of the death of Senator Barry Mpigi. In the post, which quickly sparked widespread reactions online, Jacob made remarks suggesting that people often rejoice when the wicked die — a statement many interpreted as a reference to the late senator. The comment triggered backlash, with several users describing it as insensitive and disrespectful, especially given the timing. Critics accused him of lacking empathy and failing to show proper regard for the deceased. Tambari Jacob, known for his outspoken and often polarizing views, has previously faced public scrutiny over his commentary style and the strong positions he frequently takes on national issues.

A Ugandan pastor, David Ochieng has abandoned his ministerial work after hitting a huge sum of money through sports betting. Local media reports that he won 100 million UGX (N21 million) and decided to shutdown his church thereby leaving members in disbelief and confusion. When he realised that he is now 100 million shillings richer, he closed down the building and left members of his congregation stranded when they came for midweek service. Members of the church who visited the premises were shocked when they saw that the gate was locked and did not know what to do. The clergyman was contacted and he confessed that the reason he chose to work in the vineyard of God was strictly to earn income to survive and not because he was called. Ochieng further described the winning as a blessing from God and a swift way to get him out of poverty he was in because he could not sustain himself with money from his poor congregation.
