1. INTRODUCTION – MORE THAN A MEETING

About 52 nations gatherer in Jerusalem for “AWAKE JERUSALEM” AND “THE DAY OF PRAYER FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM”
and also to commemorate October 7th, 2026 — a date forever etched in the memory of Israel as a day of national trauma and heroic resilience — Apostle Daps Dalyop Gwom, African Representative of the Israel-Christian Nexus, joined a special envoy From the 52 nations include the His Royal Majesty and her Majesty The Olu and Olori Atuwatse lll to visit the President of the State of Israel, His Excellency Isaac Herzog at his resident.

This was not a mere courtesy call. It was a prophetic convergence. An African voice from the killing fields of Plateau State, Nigeria, meeting the leader of a nation that knows too well the pain of terrorism.

2. WHO IS APOSTLE DAPS DALYOP GWOM?

Apostle Daps Dalyop Gwom is a leading Apostolic voice In Nigeria from Plateau State, Nigeria — a region often described as the epicenter of Christian persecution and genocidal attacks in Nigeria’s Middle-Belt. He is the Convener of the Feast of Incense and the Vision Pioneer of Ancient Flood Gate Global Ministry in Jos Nigeria,His love for the state of Israel made the Israel Christian Nexus Leadership ro choose him to be their African Representative for the movement and he has consistently been a bridge between the Church in Africa and the nation of Israel.

He does not come from a place of theory, but from lived experience. He comes from a territory where people bury their dead almost weekly from unprovoked terrorist attacks, just as Israel does. His advocacy has given Plateau a voice in Jerusalem and given Jerusalem a voice in Plateau…

3. THE SYMBOLIC SIGNIFICANCE OF THE MEETING

This meeting carries multi-dimensional significance:

A. HISTORIC & DIPLOMATIC SIGNIFICANCE
To be received by the President of Israel on October 7th itself is an extraordinary honor. It signals that Israel recognizes the sincerity and weight of the African Christian solidarity Apostle Daps represents. It places Plateau State and Nigeria on the diplomatic map of friends who showed up when it mattered.

B. MORAL & NARRATIVE SIGNIFICANCE – “SAME PAIN, SAME ENEMY”
Apostle Gwom’s central message to the President was simple and powerful: “Israel has gone through what Plateau has gone through.”

This statement reframes the global narrative. It links the terrorism in Israel to the terrorism in Plateau. It tells the world that terrorism has the same spirit, same method, and same target — whether it is in Be’eri, Kibbutz in Israel or in Bassa, Barkin Ladi and Riyom in Plateau. Both are attacks on indigenous people on their ancestral land because of their faith and identity.

C. SPIRITUAL & PROPHETIC SIGNIFICANCE
Biblically, Africa has always had a role in Israel’s story — from sheltering Israel in Egypt to Simon of Cyrene helping carry the cross. This meeting is a prophetic restoration of that African watchman role over Jerusalem (Isaiah 62:6). An Apostle from Africa standing as a watchman on the walls of Jerusalem on the anniversary of its deepest wound fulfills scripture.

D. STRATEGIC SIGNIFICANCE FOR PLATEAU AND NIGERIA
For years, the persecution in Plateau has been under-reported globally. By taking the Plateau story to the highest office in Israel, Apostle Daps has internationalized the Plateau cry. What affects one now affects the other in the court of global conscience.

4. WHAT THIS MEANS FOR THE FUTURE

This meeting has opened three strategic doors:

1. Advocacy Nexus: A platform for joint advocacy against terrorism and antisemitism / Christian persecution.
2. Humanitarian & Educational Exchange: Future collaborations in trauma healing, security resilience, and agricultural technology between Israel and Plateau communities.
3. Christian Diplomacy: A new model of citizen-led diplomacy where the African Church speaks as a moral voice in global affairs.
4. CONCLUSION

History will remember that when Israel wept on October 7th, a voice from the hills of Plateau came to weep with her. And when Plateau weeps, that voice ensured Israel heard it.

Apostle Daps Dalyop Gwom’s meeting with President Isaac Herzog is significant because it was not political — it was covenantal. It was not opportunistic — it was sacrificial. It was the meeting of two peoples who refuse to be erased.

This single meeting has done what many press conferences could not do — it has placed the tears of Plateau side by side with the tears of Israel, and declared that the God who defends Israel is the same God who will defend Plateau.

Sports247 reports that Eguavoen, who is now the technical director of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), pointed out that proper development of players must begin at the community level, hence his emphasis on updated training methods for coaches in that sector.

Eguavoen, who was fondly called ‘Cerezo’ during his playing days, gave his verdict while speaking during an ongoing CAF D-Licence Coaching Course in Ogun State, which has 40 grassroots trainers in attendance.

The ex-international, who was part of Nigeria’s 1994 Africa Cup of Nations winning team and first squad to the FIFA World Cup at USA ’94, was physically present to oversee the smooth running of the course at Agro Terra Resort in Joga-Orile, Yewa North Local Government Area.

The defender-turned-gaffer pointed out that the course was out together with a view to further strengthen discovery of talents, the foundation of football development and empowerment of grassroots coaches across Ogun State.

He added that the D-Licence course, which is organised by the NFF, in conjunction with Ogun State Football Association (OGSFA) and their coaches association, was designed to equip participants with theoretical knowledge and practical coaching skills required for CAF certification.

Eguavoen also stressed the need to make coaching education more accessible to grassroots coaches, as professional training methods are required in the task of grooming young talents from scratch, towards cementing hope in better results for the country through future international engagements.

He declared emphatically, “Coach education is fundamental to football development. We cannot expect to improve the quality of our players without also improving the quality of those who train them.

“Grassroots coaches need access to the right knowledge, modern coaching methods and professional certification to help them perform their roles more effectively. That’s why you must remain committed to continuous learning.

“The knowledge that you gain from all the coaching courses you attend should translate into better training methods, improved player development and higher standards across the game.”

Sports247 gathered further that NFF’s head of coaching education, Dr Terry Oguaje as well as retired FIFA referee, Alhaji F.A. Yusuf and veteran coach, Fatai Akande are the course’s lead facilitators.
