The Association of Micro Entrepreneurs of Nigeria (AMEN) has rejected the free CAC registration for 25,000 Nigerian businesses under the MSME survival fund that the federal government opened on Monday 22nd October 2020.

Comrade Prince Saviour Iche, the National President of the association said this while reacting to the announcement by the federal government.

He noted that the local entrepreneurs are not begging the federal government to register their businesses because it was not a problem.

AMEN said the registration cannot work with the current economy situation in nation including the closure of its borders.

Ichie stressed that the present condition of the economy has created alot of problems for the masses, turning local manufactures to beggars and citizens cannot feed three square meal a day.

He wondered how the federal government would close its borders against products coming into the country, against products going outside the country that brings in foreign exchanges and still expect the economy will grow.

“If I may ask, will closing of the borders profit us as a nation?

“Our local products are high within the country, a bag of rice is between N28, 000 – N30,000 and you want the masses to survive the hardship,’’ he querried.

He further noted that those going into entrepreneurship do not need free registration of businesses because registration of business is the simplest thing as they can register by themselves.

“Government should make funds available, billions of naira have been claimed to have been given to the local entrepreneurs, as a president of an association, an advocate for the masses, the COVID-19 palliative assistance of local manufacturers are nowhere to be found.

“Recently, Nigerians witnessed how our so called leaders hoarded the palliatives made for the masses in warehouses without being distributed.

“The same way billons of naira are being kept in their private accounts in and outside Nigeria in foreign accounts, we urge the concerned security agencies to investigate and ask questions about this money claimed to have been given to the local manufactures.

He also wondered how businesses can grow when many entrepreneurs are relocating to neighboring countries on daily basis.

“None of them went with their workers; throwing the workers into labour market, in a country where we have over 68% of unemployment does it speak well?

“It means that our industry, our SMES are not working; it cannot work with ordinary hands.

“Giving us free registration of business is like a fresh graduate that graduated with a certificate without a job, after the registration will they be eating the certificates?

AMEN advised the federal government to give them total support so that the economy will boom and not collapse with the current situation which needs urgent step to address it.

AMEN, therefore, demands the following:

1. The federal government should restore back our light, let Nigeria have 24/7 power supply for our businesses to thrive.

2. Open our borders for our businesses to go through the neighboring countries and bring foreign exchange to Nigeria.

3. The federal government should make funds available for the existing business owners, millions of business owners that have registered their businesses in Nigeria but no accessible funds to back it up.[tps_start_button label=”Start slideshow” style=”” class=””]

Excitement as Zamfara Under Governor Lawal Begins Airlift of Pilgrims at Zamfara Airport

 

There is palpable excitement in Zamfara State as the administration of Governor Dauda Lawal officially commenced the 2026 Hajj airlift for pilgrims from the Gusau Airport (GIA). In a historic move aimed at easing the pilgrimage process, the state government announced that the first batch of pilgrims who departed for the Holy Land today, Friday, 15th May 2026.

This milestone marks the fulfillment of Governor Lawal’s promise to make direct departures from Zamfara a reality, eliminating the need for pilgrims to travel to other states for airlift. However, the state government has issued a strict advisory to the public regarding conduct at the airport. To ensure security and facilitate the smooth coordination of the airlift operations, escorting pilgrims to the airport is strictly prohibited.

Family members and friends wishing to bid farewell to their loved ones are directed to do so only at the Hajj Camp. The restriction, according to officials, is a necessary measure to prevent congestion and maintain order at the airport premises. Officials confirm that the airlift is now underway at Gusau International Airport. The development has been met with widespread praise from intending pilgrims, who expressed relief at being able to begin their spiritual journey directly from their home state.

The Zamfara State Government extended its sincere gratitude to Governor Lawal for his commitment, emphasizing that the direct airlift reflects a new chapter of convenience and efficiency for the state’s annual Hajj operations.

Dr. Chris Okafor Declares Grace Nation Is In The Season Of Signs And Wonders

…Reaffirm that when disobedience occurs, God’s Kingdom withdraws; serving with sincerity and fervor leads to triumph

~By Sunday Adeyemi

 

The metamorphosis of Grace Nation into a terrestrial paradise is palpable, with multifaceted miracles manifesting daily, as it has evolved from a church into a comprehensive movement where the all-powerful hand of God operates in diverse dimensions

The 14th of May 2026 midweek Prophetic Healing Deliverance and Solutions service was a testament to the power of faith, witnessing remarkable displays of miraculous healings, deliverances, and solutions. God’s omnipresent hand was visibly manifest, touching lives and restoring health, notably in the case of a man afflicted with body pains for 26 years, who, after being prayed for by the Generational Prophet, experienced instantaneous relief.

During the midweek service, a notable miracle took place when an 11-year-old boy who was born mute spoke for the first time. Furthermore, a woman carrying twins for an extraordinary period of 2 years was suddenly delivered; labor ensued immediately after she received prayer, necessitating her hospitalization. In a stunning display of divine intervention, growth ceased, and a woman testified to the efficacy of the Generational Prophet’s prayers, which had been offered on her behalf a few weeks earlier. Specifically, her business-related struggles seemed insurmountable until her tricycle, which had lain dormant for weeks, suddenly sprang to life without any mechanical intervention.

Marital obstacles hindering the two brides-to-be were removed, as many expectant mothers were blessed with miracle babies. It is evident that Grace Nation is undergoing its phases of astounding Signs and Wonders.

Generational Prophet Dr. Chris Okafor, in his teachings on ‘Dealing With My Daddy’s Devil,’ points out that the sins of fathers can weigh heavily on their children, and unless one actively works to break this cycle, generational battles will inevitably continue from one generation to the next

*How to Deal with Your Daddy’s Devil*

To successfully address the issue of generational curses or strongholds in your family, it is necessary to understand the underlying spiritual principles and technical aspects. Knowing the source and method of entry of the devil into your bloodline, as well as the reasons behind its establishment in your father’s house, is vital. By understanding these key concepts, you will be able to make positive changes and effectively deal with these generational battles

*Breaking Free from Generational Conflict.*

In order to overcome the devilish influences of your father, serving your Lord and Savior in truth and spirit is essential; this empowers and elevates you above all earthly struggles

A strong prayer life is crucial for spiritual well-being; the devil commonly uses the depletion of one’s prayer life as a tactic to dominate the lives of God’s spiritually vulnerable children

Hence, the sole legitimate approach to terminating the devil’s influence within one’s family lineage involves authentic devotion to God, necessitating a superior force to dislodge an entrenched inferior spirit, with Generational Prophet of God Dr. Chris Okafor underscoring adherence to covenant principles as pivotal in transcending intergenerational curses

The midweek Prophetic Healing Deliverance and Solutions (PHDS) took place at the International Headquarters of Grace Nation Worldwide, situated in Ojodu Berger, Lagos, Nigeria.
