During the session, many people came to listen to the testimony of persecuted Christians in Nigeria, in this event organized together with Aid to the Church in Need and several promoters: the CARF Foundation, Banco Sabadell and the Catholic Association of Propagandists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The journalist Raquel Martin moderated the dialogue with the Archbishop, who began by expressing his gratitude for the affection for Nigeria that he had felt during his visit to Spain, as well as for the work carried out by Aid to the Church in Need. That same affection, he explained, he felt in his recent audience with Pope Leo XIV, \u201cwho listened attentively to all the problems and fears expressed by the Nigerian bishops\u201d \u201cThe Pope assured us of his prayers\u201d, he continued, \u201cand encouraged us to continue in the struggle\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"526\" src=\"https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_20260318_200039.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-59564\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.7490890161374284;width:524px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_20260318_200039.jpg 920w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_20260318_200039-700x400.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_20260318_200039-300x172.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_20260318_200039-768x439.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_20260318_200039-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_20260318_200039-600x343.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 920px) 100vw, 920px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Table of speakers during the Omnes Forum.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Persecuted Christians<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Monsignor Kaigama mentioned from the outset the harsh persecution to which Christians are subjected in the country. \u201cJust before I left, one of the priests in my diocese had to flee his home after an attack.

The aim of the attackers is to weaken the Christian faith\u201d.

For this reason, \u201cI no longer feel I am just a pastor, praying and blessing, but also a humanitarian worker\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is why the work done by institutions such as Aid to the Church in Need is so important and the speaker sincerely thanked them for their work and dedication. \u201cWith your faith and our faith, with your help and our determination, we will win,\u201d said the priest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Faith and prayer<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFaith and prayer are very powerful instruments,\u201d Monsignor Kaigama assured. \u201cWe Nigerians are known to be a people of great faith and I believe that the reason Nigeria has not disintegrated is precisely because of this faith,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this sense, the bishop recalled the European missionaries who throughout history went to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/en\/news\/nigeria-terrifying-crisis-of-religious-violence\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"59094\">Nigeria <\/a>to evangelize. \u201cYou have taught us to pray, to forgive, to love,\u201d he said. Something key, since the difficult conditions of the country lead many Christians to have, as the only resource for forgiveness, faith in God. \u201cHumanly it is not possible, but with faith everything is possible,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI no longer feel like just a pastor, praying and blessing, but also like a humanitarian worker.\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn Nigeria we suffer but we smile,\u00bb said the Archbishop. Something that is only achieved through authentic forgiveness that is realized supported by faith. \u201cI pray that forgiveness in the world will increase and that God will grant us all the gift of forgiveness,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Need for action<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But there is not only prayer in Christian communities. The speaker affirmed that Christians pray, but they also act and constantly ask the government to intervene. \u201cWe believe that God can touch the hearts of these people to move them to do the right thing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also sent a message to politicians around the world, saying that \u201cwe hope that other countries will also come, act and do something useful to end the root of this evil\u201d. In this regard, he highlighted the crucial role of the media in showing what is happening and making a real impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The intercession of the Virgin Mary<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In conclusion, Archbishop Kaigama highlighted the love that Nigerians feel for the Virgin Mary, to whom they always turn for help. \u201cI always encourage the faithful to carry a Rosary with them, in their pocket, in their purse or wherever. Personally, so as never to forget to pray to Our Lady, I carry a Rosary in each pocket every day,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Virgin Mary is a pillar for us,\u201d the speaker explained, \u201cand we trust that she presents all our needs to the Blessed Trinity and that, by God's grace, we will overcome difficulties.\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Joint prayer and blessing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the end of the dialogue, Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Gallardo, president of Aid to the Church in Need in Spain, presented the campaign \u201c....\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/dona.ayudaalaiglesianecesitada.org\/sana-nigeria\/?utm_source=web-campaign&amp;utm_medium=web&amp;utm_campaign=P2605&amp;utm_term=P20&amp;utm_content=masinfo-carruselcampaign-home-sananigeria26&amp;Package=P20\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/dona.ayudaalaiglesianecesitada.org\/sana-nigeria\/?utm_source=web-campaign&amp;utm_medium=web&amp;utm_campaign=P2605&amp;utm_term=P20&amp;utm_content=masinfo-carruselcampaign-home-sananigeria26&amp;Package=P20\">Sana Nigeria: let persecution not have the last word<\/a>\u201d.
