League of African Ambassadors expresses solidarity with Caribbean Nations over Hurricane Melissa

 

The League of African Ambassadors has conveyed profound sorrow and solidarity with the Caribbean region following the devastating impact of Hurricane Melissa, which has caused widespread destruction across Jamaica and neighboring island nations.

“To the governments and peoples of the Caribbean, we say: you are not alone,”
said Ambassador Nwanne O.M. Inyi, President of the League of African Ambassadors and former Nigerian High Commissioner to Zambia.

“Africa stands with you. Our solidarity is expressed through our diplomatic voice, our moral authority, and our commitment to ensure your call for help is heard and acted upon across the world.” He added.

In a statement issued from Lusaka, the League extended its deepest condolences to the peoples and governments of Jamaica and all other Caribbean nations affected by the disaster, describing the tragedy as one that “strikes a chord of profound empathy and shared concern within our African hearts.”

“While oceans may separate us, the deep historical, cultural, and ancestral bonds that unite Africa and the Caribbean are unbreakable.
The pain of our brothers and sisters in the Caribbean is our pain. Their loss is our loss,” the League stated.

Guided by the enduring principles of Pan-Africanism, the League announced the launch of the “Hand of Friendship and Advocacy” initiative, a diplomatic and strategic effort designed to amplify the call for international assistance and promote long-term resilience in the Caribbean.

As part of this initiative, the League urged the international community, including the United Nations and major humanitarian organizations, to deploy emergency response teams and scale up financial and logistical assistance to all affected countries.

The League further pledged its full diplomatic support to facilitate and coordinate these efforts.

Recognizing the importance of technical expertise in emergency response, the League called upon global agencies such as the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, and other specialized NGOs to mobilize and deploy disaster management experts for effective coordination and recovery operations.

Looking beyond immediate recovery efforts, the League proposed the establishment of a long-term partnership between Africa and the Caribbean to advocate for climate justice and increased climate finance.

The League emphasized that both African nations and Small Island Developing States (SIDS) bear a disproportionate share of the global climate crisis despite contributing the least to its causes.

The League reaffirmed that the tragedy of Hurricane Melissa underscores the enduring bonds of history, culture, and humanity that unite Africa and the Caribbean, describing this moment as a “testament that our shared humanity is the most powerful force against adversity.”

The League of African Ambassadors is a collective body representing African nations, dedicated to promoting Pan-African solidarity, advancing shared interests, and providing a unified diplomatic voice on matters of continental and global importance.

Miracles, Revival Mark Opening of Dominion City’s Night of Glory 2026

Miracles, Revival Mark Opening of Dominion City’s Night of Glory 2026

 

 

Lagos – The atmosphere was charged with faith, worship, and expectancy as Dominion City’s Global Camp Meeting 2026 entered its peak with the first day of the “Night of Glory,” drawing thousands of worshippers to Lagos and Enugu in a powerful display of spiritual revival.

 

Held at the Golden Heart Place, Ajah, Lagos, the Friday evening gathering marked a significant moment in the ongoing six-day conference themed “Redigging the Wells of Our Fathers.” Participants from across Nigeria and beyond converged both physically and online, united by a shared hunger for divine encounter and transformation.

 

From the outset, the meeting was characterised by intense worship sessions led by gospel ministers, creating an atmosphere many attendees described as “tangible with God’s presence.” The night quickly transitioned into sessions of fervent prayers, prophetic ministrations, and teachings centred on restoration, healing, and spiritual awakening.

 

Presiding over the meeting, Dr. David Ogbueli, founder of Dominion City, charged participants to reconnect with foundational truths and spiritual disciplines necessary for personal and societal transformation. He emphasised that the “Night of Glory” was designed as a moment of divine visitation where destinies could be reshaped.

 

“As we redig the wells of our fathers, we are reconnecting with ancient graces and covenant realities that produce undeniable results,” he declared.

 

As the night unfolded, several remarkable testimonies were shared, reinforcing the theme of supernatural intervention. Among them was the case of a 14-year-old girl who was reportedly delivered from a seven-year struggle with pornography addiction, an experience that drew emotional reactions from the congregation.

 

Other testimonies included reported healing from cancer, recovery from a severe skin infection attributed to spiritual affliction, the healing of a heart-related condition, and three years of a non-menstrual period. Attendees also recounted instances of restored hearing and sight, with individuals testifying to improvements from partial deafness and blindness, among others.

 

Fathers of faith present were Barrister Emeka Nwankpa, Pastor Yemi Ayodele, Rev. Pade Tokun, Apostle Gbenga Adegbenro, Rev. Mike Adegbile, and others. Other Ministers present, including Pastor Dr. Charles Ndifon, Pastor Randy Mitchell, Apostle Ikechukwu Nnajiofor, and others, reinforced messages of faith and the power of God to intervene in human situations. They encouraged worshippers to remain steadfast and receptive, noting that miracles often spring from an atmosphere of unwavering belief.

 

Beyond the miraculous, the gathering also underscored a broader call to moral and spiritual renewal. Church leaders reiterated the need for believers to embody values that can positively influence society, especially in a time of perceived moral decline.

 

The “Night of Glory” is part of the larger Global Camp Meeting, which began on April 1 and will run through April 6, featuring daily teachings, leadership sessions, and specialized programmes for youths and families.

 

Organisers say expectations remain high for the second night, with many believing that the wave of miracles and transformation witnessed on the first night is only the beginning.

 

For many attendees, however, the message was clear beyond the signs and wonders; the true essence of the gathering lies in a renewed commitment to live transformed lives and impact society. //END.//

Easter: Obasa Urges Christians To Embrace Hope, Unity, Renewal

The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, has congratulated Christian faithful in Lagos and across Nigeria on the celebration of Easter, urging them to draw strength from the lessons of Christ’s resurrection.

In his Easter message, released by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Dave Agboola, Obasa described the season as a reminder of victory over despair, renewal after trials, and the triumph of light over darkness. He noted that just as Christ overcame death, Nigeria can overcome its current challenges if citizens remain steadfast, prayerful, and committed to unity.

“Easter is a season of hope and renewal. As a nation, we face economic pressures and security concerns, but the resurrection teaches us that no situation is beyond redemption. Let us roll away the stones of division and despair, and work together for peace, justice, and prosperity,” the Speaker said.

He called on Lagosians to continue to show love and compassion to one another, stressing that collective effort is key to building a stronger Lagos and a better Nigeria.

Obasa prayed that the joy of Easter would fill homes with renewed faith and guide both leaders and citizens toward a brighter future.
