Female Journalists Seeks God's Intervention Over Insecurity In The Nation

 Worried by the incessant killings across the country, the Nigeria Association of Women Journalists (NAWOJ) Rivers State joined it's National Body in a special prayer session for God's Swift intervention for an end to the lingering security challenges bedeviling the nation.


The women who were adorned in red signifying bloodshed in Nigeria, also carried placards with various inscriptions, crying for calm and peace in Nigeria.

With the theme 'Oh God heal our land" which was drawn from 2 Chronicles, Chapter 7, verse 14, the women cried out for God's mercy and healing upon Nigeria.

Deputy National President, NAWOJ, Lilian Okonkwo Ogabu and Rivers State Chairperson, Susan Serekara Nwikhana appreciated members for coming out for the prayers as God has a special empathy for women, saying the wailing will not go unanswered.

According to them, the only solution to Nigeria's predicament is for the people to return to God for mercy and intervention.

They called for continued prayers and supplication to end insecurity and all forms of violence in Nigeria.

The leaders called on Journalists in the Country to de-escalate reports on violence, kidnapping and other social vices but channel their reports on promoting peace.

Former Acting Chairman, NUJ Rivers State Council, Uche Agbam and Assistant State Secretary, Ilanye Jumbo said the significance of the Solemn Assembly was to turn back to God, fulfil the scriptures and stand in the gap for their families and leaders.

They advised Nigerians to always seek the face of God for the peace of the Country, stressing that if that is done, God will answer all prayers, wipe away tears and bring back joy and normalcy to the country.

The Solemn Assembly was held simultaneously in the 36 states and the FCT to plead for mercy and healing of the country.
