Rev. Samson Ayokunle, President, Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), has called on Christians to put hands on deck to rebuild a new Nigeria for the country to move forward.

Ayokunle made the call at the Independence Anniversary Interdenominational Church Service tagged: “Our Help Comes from the Lord” held at the National Christian Centre, in Abuja.

CAN president,who said that Nigeria as a nation was on its way to seeing better days ahead, urged Nigerians to be strong and not to be dismayed at the situation they were passing through.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that CAN had organised a three-day prayer and fasting ahead of the Independence Anniversary for divine intervention in the economic situation of the nation.

CAN president said that Nigeria as a nation did not only have oil but other mineral resources that would help in the nation’s economic growth.

“We should have the kind of wisdom that will prevail over economic growth; we should diversify our focus.

“We have all found ourselves in an economic recession; we are not wise enough to gather what we can gather and manage the resources we have,” he said.

Ayokunle also called on the Federal Government to continue to fight the menace of Boko Haram, militants, kidnappers and every other form of violence until they were subdued.

“In the society in general, there are evils everywhere, the righteous does not have any value; we celebrate people that are half naked and call them celebrities.

“We owe it a duty to stand firm and stand in the truth in season and out of season so change, repent and be converted,’’ Ayokunle said.

NAN reports that top clerics, government officials and governors attended the Independence Anniversary.

Details of the Attack The Houthis, a Shiite militant group with ties to Iran, declared that they launched missile and drone strikes targeting Israel. While the exact impact of these attacks remains unclear, reports suggest that Israel’s defense systems intercepted several threats over its airspace. This marks a significant escalation as the Houthis widen their involvement in the conflict beyond their typical operations within Yemen and neighboring Saudi Arabia. The Houthis’ Justification In their statement, the Houthis framed the attack as retaliation for Israel’s military actions in Gaza, which they characterized as indiscriminate bombings resultin...

Fall of Assad is a Blow to Russia's Prestige

The potential fall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, a long-standing ally of Russia, would mark a turning point in Moscow’s global influence, particularly in the Middle East. Steve Rosenberg’s analysis underscores the profound implications for Russia, which has invested heavily—both militarily and politically—in ensuring Assad’s survival over the past decade. This article delves into why Assad’s downfall would strike at the core of Russian prestige and what it could mean for the broader geopolitical landscape. Russia's Strategic Commitment to Syria Since the outbreak of the Syrian civil war in 2011, Russia has been a staunch supporter of Assad's regime. In 2015, Moscow launched a military intervention that proved decisive in stabilizing Assad’s hold on power. This intervention solidified Russia's role as a key power broker in the Middle East and demonstrated its willingness to project military power far beyond its borders. Syria is not just an ally for Russia; it is a...
