Walking the talk, eminent Christian leaders from the six geo-political
zones of Nigeria have decided it is time they stuck out their necks to push for
restructuring of Nigeria so as to promote good governance, true democracy,
nationalism, prosperity, and
righteousness in the country. These
respected patriots working as the National Christian Elders Forum (NCEF), under
the aegis of the Christian Association of Nigeria, are currently engaging
Nigerian Christianity in ways never before seen.
For instance, in their interaction with the Senate on Tuesday 25th
July, the Elders Forum challenged Christian senators from Southern and Middle
Belt zones on key national issues including the attempts to islamize the
educational curriculum in the country under their watch. In another series of ongoing engagements, the
NCEF is challenging the major political parties to reject politics of religion
and ethnicity, and rather embrace nationalistic politicking. Under the theme:
Nigeria Once Free, Forever Free, the NCEF is urging
Christians and all ethnic nationalities in Nigeria to resist every intimidation
and fear. The Forum observed that fear is deliberately being ramped up in the
polity, so as to intimidate Nigerians and cause them to capitulate to
neo-colonization.
In a 32
page Confidential Document, the NCEF expressed regret that Nigeria has been
grappling with various forms of colonization from inception. It point-blankly
lends her support for the call for restructuring the country back along the
federal lines which was unfortunately unilaterally disrupted by the military
during their intervention in 1966. Above all, the body urges all Christians, and
indeed all Nigerians, to remain watchful and prayerful.
