Shalom Praise Ministry is an emerging interdenominational ministry (based in Nigeria) dedicated to holistic transformation of Africa; using Nigeria as a starting point, is crying for justice in Africa by calling individuals and organizations in U.S.A and Europe who are passionate of seeing Africa developed holistically to respond to this this glamorous call.
This ministry is currently working to transform Nigeria, and using it as a point of contact to transform other African countries as well. You may ask, why Nigeria?
With more than 155 million people, Nigeria is Africa’s most populous nation and its second-largest economy after South Africa. As Africa’s largest producer of oil and one of the top five suppliers of U.S and Europe oil imports, Nigeria plays an important role in the global economy. Nigeria plays a vital role in UN Peace Keeping Mission in many African countries and beyond. In essence, transforming Nigeria is as the same as transforming the whole of Africa.
It is sad to discovered that 70% of incomes generated in Nigeria goes to corruption; independent research has revealed that, the money Nigeria lost to corruption is twice the amount U.S.A and UN used in developing Africa. This money is not stolen to developed Nigeria; if it were so, there wouldn’t be much trouble, but rather the money is stolen and transferred to other countries.
Tragically, Nigeria is now faces serious challenges, including an increasingly sophisticated and deadly wave of Islamic extremism (known as Boko Haram; meaning western education is a sin), pervasive corruption, injustices, and growing levels of poverty and income inequality. Poverty levels are rising, with more than 60% of the population living on less than a dollar a day, and indicators such as income distribution, health, and literacy indicate a sharp North-South divide. Diseases such as malaria, tuberculosis, HIV/Aids, maternal and infant mortality are prevalent most especially in Northern Nigeria.
These are the reason why Shalom Praise Ministry is embarking on transformation of Africa, using Nigeria as a starting point; we believe transforming Nigeria is the same as transforming Africa (our motto is: hope for Africa), we have a 15 years plan; to make the average Africans know their fundamental human right.
This ministry has four areas of focus that need contribution in any way possible from individual and organizations in the U.S.A and Europe: (1) Social justice and economic advocacy (human right) deals with issues relating to justice and fairness, (2) Poverty and diseases eradication advocacy (PDEA) deals with issues of poverty and disease free society in Africa, (3) Center for Spiritual advocacy (CSA) deals with interfaith dialogue most especially among Muslims and Christians, (4) Educational empowerment advocacy (EEA) deals with seeking support and exploring educational opportunities to Africans most especially the young ones .
