An Open Letter to Nigerian Christians in the UK

Dear Nigerian Christians in the UK

I have noticed significant church growth among churches in the UK that have Nigerian leadership. They have a vision for more growth and more churches in the UK. This is commendable.

However, there is concern, and it has been expressed by other Nigerian Christians, about the lack of Gospel preaching, ministry, church work in the north of Nigeria. When my friend travels around the north he does not find Christian workers, evangelists or preachers working there. So charity does not begin at home when it is the north! They seem to avoid it. Like the plague?

I don't know why there is so much focus on UK ministry when there is an enormous mission back home in Nigeria, northern Nigeria. Please explain this. I find it hard to understand, especially when Nigerian preachers have prophesied a mighty revival in Nigeria.  When such preachers talk about Nigeria do they mean southern Nigerian and never the north.

Do the Nigerian church leaders in this land invest money, time and effort in projects to evangelise the north of Nigeria? Are there any plans to work in the north?

Love Nigeria? Well, what about the north of the land? It needs your help.

Yours fraternally

Critics of the Prince say that he has not done much for Wales in recent years, and his visit to Nigeria would not make much difference there.

Do Christians have the freedom to preach in northern Nigeria? Or would they be swiftly killed or disappear?
