BIAFRA : Catholic Bishop sends message to govt, reveals what herdsmen did to Church farm



Ugorji made the call in his sermon on Sunday during a special thanksgiving mass to commemorate the 28th anniversary of the creation of the state at Mater Dei Cathedral, Umuahia.

 The Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Umuahia, Most Rev. Lucius Ugorji, has advised the Abia government to take urgent steps to address the huge infrastructure deficit in the state, especially Aba, the commercial hub of the state.
He said that the state of infrastructure in Aba was deplorable and begging for immediate government’s attention to avert its total collapse.
Ugorji also expressed worry over the growing state of insecurity in the state, citing the menace of herdsmen and their wanton destruction of people’s farms in the state.
The clergyman alleged that herdsmen recently attacked the diocesan farm, destroying crops worth over N2.5 million and attempted “to stab the farm manager to death.”
He regretted that although the matter was reported to security agencies, no arrest had yet been made.
He charged security agencies in the state to rise to their responsibility of protecting the lives and property of the citizenry.
The cleric urged the government to endeavour to pay workers and teachers “promptly, as an when due” in order to motivate them to give their best.
He expressed profound gratitude to God for the human and mineral deposits as well as other material resources endowed on the state.
He expressed joy that the state had produced great sons and daughters, who had excelled in different spheres of human endeavours across the globe.
He further said that Aba possessed great potential that had attracted enormous trade and investment from other parts of Nigeria and West African region.
He opined that with diligent exploitation of the potential, Aba would be one of the greatest cities in Africa.
Ugorji commended the government for lifting the ban on employment, describing the measure as a positive development that could reduce the unemployment and crime rates in the state.
He further lauded government’s handover of schools to missions but said that there were still some hiccups in the completion process.
Deputy Gov. Ude Oko-Chukwu, who represented Gov. Okezie Ikpeazu at the solemn event, thanked God for the relative security in the state, in spite of the widespread security challenges in the country.
Uko-Chukwu also said that Abia had enjoyed substantial peace and harmony among political class in the state.
He commended the efforts of the founding fathers of the state in the realisation of the state in 1991 and promised that the present administration would continue to uphold the ideals of the elder statesmen.
He further promised that Okezie’s administration would not renege on its campaign promises to the citizenry.
He urged Christians to continue to pray for the country to overcome the current challenges that seemed to threaten its peace and unity.

Nnamdi Kanu Sends Important Message To IPOB Members From Detention

    The detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has sent an important message to his followers over the Biafra movement. The embattled separatist according to one of his brothers, Prince Kanu Meme, has asked his disciples to trust and comply with directives from the Directorate of State (DOS). Boasting his belief in the separatist movement’s administrative structure, Kanu said “I’m DOS and DOS is me”.  Naija News understands that the DOS, headed by diaspora-based Chika Edoziem has been contending with authority issues since Kanu’s arrest in Kenya in June 2021. It has been observed that IPOB is in disintegration following Nnamdi Kanu’s rearrest and detention. The present situation of the Biafran movement can be likened to that of sheep without a shepherd. However, Kanu in a conversation with his sib...

IPOB: The Nigerian Civil War, commonly known as the Biafran War

  THE HISTORY OF BIAFRA AND NIGERIA WAR  Israel, Nigeria and the Biafra civil war    The Nigerian Civil War , commonly known as the Biafran War (6 July 1967 – 15 January 1970), was a war fought between the government of Nigeria and the secessionist state of Biafra. Biafra represented nationalist aspirations of the Igbo people, whose leadership felt they could no longer coexist with the Northern-dominated federal government. The conflict resulted from political, economic, ethnic, cultural and religious tensions which preceded Britain's formal decolonization of Nigeria from 1960 to 1963. Immediate causes of the war in 1966 included a military coup, a counter-coup and persecution of Igbo living in Northern Nigeria. Control over the lucrative oil production in the Niger Delta played a vital strategic role. Within a year, the Federal Government troops surrounded Biafra, capturing coastal oil facilities and the city of Port Harcourt. The blockade imp...
