Security forces in Nigeria shot and killed 22 protesters for holding marches against the growing starvation rates. The government’s measures to attract foreign investment triggered massive inflation in this oil-rich country. Despite their wealth from oil revenues, subsequent governments’ failure to curb corruption, mass kidnappings, and terrorism have become key deterrents to a healthy economy across the different income classes in Nigeria.
The Bible, Isaiah 59:7
“Their feet rush into sin; they are swift to shed innocent blood. They pursue evil schemes; acts of violence mark their ways.”
- Pray for significant international pressure from Nigeria’s critical allies in the West to end this habit of killing innocent and peaceful protesters in the country.
- Pray for God’s divine intervention to end the line of corrupt government officials who neglect their duties in serving the Nigerian people.
- Pray for the supernatural elimination of the criminal enterprise in Nigeria.
