The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Kaduna State chapter, has expressed hope that God will do something great in Nigeria.
The state CAN chairman, Rev. John Joseph Hayab, enjoined Christians all over the country to be fervent in prayers, especially in next year’s elections for God’s chosen leaders to emerge to pilot the country’s affairs in the way of the Lord.
He said this after the association’s Christmas carol on Sunday. Nigerians have suffered a lot, and we believed the Almighty father, in His infinite mercy will remember the country as He favoured Mary to be the mother of Jesus Christ, the saviour of the world,” he said.
He urged Nigerians to continue to seek the face of the Almighty concerning the affairs of the country and ask for God’s intervention so the country’s lost glory will be restored and take its place in the community of nations.
According to Rev. Hayab, “The God we serve is a merciful God that showered His mercy not because of our righteousness but because He is merciful, He will by faith shower His mercy upon the country and give us God fearing President and other leaders that will work for the full restoration of the land in peace, unity and development.”
He believed that favour is coming the way of Nigeria, especially in the 2023 elections but enjoined Nigerians to pray for God’s mercy upon the land so that the citizens would once again live in peace and harmony, saying that it is the only way Nigerians could adequately showcase their potentials to the whole world.
The Secretary of Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA), Rev. Yunusa Nmadu, also expressed hope that Nigeria would get better and urged Christians to always preach peace and love to all Nigerians for the sustenance of peaceful coexistence.

The convener of Easyread Legal’s Mentorship Programme, Caleb Oboagwina, has called on members of the Nigerian public to report any lawyer found engaging in corrupt practices for disciplinary action. Oboagwina made this call while speaking to newsmen at the 2nd Externs General Conference and 10th Year Anniversary of the programme on Saturday in Abuja.
Decrying reports of corruption in the legal profession, Oboagwina said corrupt lawyers are sanctioned by the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee.
If you find anyone wanting, don’t be silent. Report such a person immediately for disciplinary action against him or her to serve as a deterrent to others nursing the same evil and unethical ideas.
“Don’t be afraid. Report them no matter their reputation in the profession,” he said. He tasked aspiring lawyers on hardwork and dedication to excel in the profession whenever they are eventually called to the Nigerian Bar, urging young ones to see the profession as something that would redeem the society.
“If we have lawyers who would stand up for their rights, especially when they go up in the judiciary, and shun corruption, the society would be a better place.” Also speaking, the 2nd Vice President of the Nigeria Bar Association, NBA, Clement Chukwuemeka, charged lawyers to speak to power and hold the government accountable when it fails in its responsibility of providing social amenities or infrastructural facilities to the masses.
According to him, the responsibility of lawyers is not to make money but to provide justice where the need arises, especially those who do not have anyone to speak for them.
“Judges grant bail to the high and mighty in corrupt cases after which such cases may be swept under the carpet but the poor are being sent to jail for minor cases because they have no one to speak for them,” he added. Easyread Legal’s Mentorship Programme is a platform that renders assistance to students of the Nigerian Law School engaging in Bar Part ll programme.
