Nigeria is bleeding.
People are kidnapped on highways.
Families are slaughtered in their communities.
Farmers abandon their farms out of fear.
Children become orphans overnight.
Millions struggle under the weight of poverty, insecurity, and uncertainty.
Yet a question keeps coming to mind:
Why have the various Christian denominations under the umbrella of the Christian Association of Nigeria not organized a massive, unified, continuous national prayer gathering against these crises?
We have seen churches unite for conventions.
We have seen stadiums filled for crusades.
We have seen nationwide programs for prosperity, breakthroughs, healing, and revival.
But where is the united prayer movement against mass killings?
Where is the united prayer ground against kidnappings?
Where is the united cry against corruption, injustice, and the suffering of ordinary Nigerians?
What is holding us back?
Is it denominational rivalry?
Leadership struggles?
Doctrinal differences?
Logistical challenges?
Or have we become more concerned about protecting our individual territories than confronting our collective problems?
If millions of Christians can gather to pray for personal success, can they not gather to pray for national survival?
This is not an attack on the Church.
It is a question.
A sincere question.
Because when a nation is in pain, its spiritual leaders should be among the loudest voices calling for unity, hope, action, and divine intervention.
Perhaps there are reasons we do not see such gatherings.
But Nigerians deserve to hear them.
What exactly is preventing a united national prayer crusade against the insecurity, killings, kidnappings, and suffering that have become part of everyday life?
And if nothing is preventing it, then what are we waiting for?
Nigeria has prayer warriors in every denomination. Why do we rarely see them gathered on one ground against the crises affecting the entire nation?
