Nigeria

The Niger Delta region in Nigeria is rich in oil resources. The Nigerian government is in charge of regulating the nation’s oil industry. Misusing and stealing the oil revenues by the government led to a corrupt political system in the country. Unfortunately, the people in the Niger Delta region have not benefited significantly from the natural resource wealth in their homeland.

Pray for the LORD to dethrone authorities in Nigeria who misuse their power for their lustful desires for money (The Holy Bible, 2 Timothy 3:1-9).

Pray for the proper and effective use of GOD-given natural resources in the country for the welfare of the civilians (The Holy Bible, Psalm 115:16).

There are as many as 544 groups of people of diversified backgrounds. Nigeria has rich diversified geographical landscape. There are Mangroves, tropical forests, wetlands and grasslands. Religious and ethnicity differences are causing divisions among Muslims and Christians. This is causing threatening situations all across the country. Coexisting of Muslims and Christians has been under constant tension due to tribal rivalries. Hostilities and terror by Boko Haram have left devastating destructions in the country. Many thousands of people have been massacred and killed brutally. These horrific atrocities have inflicted terrible pains and hurts in the lives of people. Many millions of people have been displaced and rendered them as refugees.
