FG not doing enough to prevent anarchy -Catholic bishops by Danmas: 10:02pm On Sep 19, 2014
The Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria has said the Federal Government has not done enough to stop the rising insecurity and the unending killings in the country.
The Bishops, which issued a statement during their Second Annual Plenary in Warri, Delta State, said the meeting has daily been inundated with “first-hand and horrifying reports reaching from Borno, Yobe, Adamawa, Taraba, Kano and Kaduna states about the mass slaughter of fellow Nigerians; the burning and sacking of whole villages and churches and rectories.”
In the statement titled ‘While Nigeria bleeds and burns’, the CBCN lamented the precarious situation in the North-East, where it lamented that reports “only confirm further killings, burnings and fleeing of defenseless Nigerians creating a heightened sense of unrest and siege to the whole nation.”
Signed by the President, CBCN, Most Revd Ignatius Kaigama, and Secretary, Most Revd William Avenya, the conference called on the all tiers of government to do more than they were doing to preserve unity of the nation.
CBCN said, “In the face of this Boko Haram group and other criminal militias arming themselves beyond our legitimate government and brazenly killing innocent, defenseless citizens, our government must do more than it is currently doing to safeguard our lives and defend our nation.
“It must do more than it is currently doing to fight off and disarm these actual destroyers of Nigerians and Nigeria. It must do more than it is currently doing to prevent segments of our nation from drifting, anarchy and mutual self-destruction and bring criminals to justice.”
The Bishops warned that what should be uppermost in the programme of government should not be the fight for positions in the 2015 elections but how to guarantee the lives of Nigerians.
The clerics added, “We warn every Nigerian community at local and state levels to be alert to the grave danger facing all of us and our nation from within and from without.
“The issue is not about who becomes president or governor or senator after the 2015 general elections. The issue is about the life and security of every one of us who loves his or her life and really cares about our living together in peace as noble Nigerians.
“We urge therefore that we all support and encourage every positive effort by the current government to protect every Nigerian and defend the integrity and unity of Nigeria. Let us equally take lawful measures locally to prevent the destruction of fellow Nigerians and to ward off Nigeria’s destroyers.”

Now that the Catholic isn't part of CAN, What is the motive behind this statement? The ulterior motive is what I'm interested in. Hope its not a romance from the Govt they interested in.

You all keep on encouraging hate among religions in Nigeria and sit down in AC Offices to construct long speeches because you and your household are far from where it's happening.

I know the Government is not trying their best but what have our Christian clerics and Jet Flying Pastors done to even encourage fellow Christians in the North where they even have legal branches.

Even the smallest gestures would go unnoticed but no, that's not where their points of interests are...Now see these ones trying to mock the Bling Bling Man/50 Cent wannabe in a coded way to score cheap Religious points.

These Religous Leaders are gradually becoming a joke.

Why do I have this feeling that catholic bishops just want to be in the news this period of Ayo saga, the insurgency has been in the country for long, y are they more vocal now A friend once told me that they've never love the fact that non catholic is d CAN president. I doubted it then but now, I don't know what to believe again

Opinions in Nigeria are mostly done for selfish interest and not for d love of d country.

we all know that boko Haram existence is purely politically backed-up .
Its a pity our leaders are so conscience-less that they allow innocent and helpless citizens to perish just for some personal gains.

the top and Nigerian military knows all about Boko Haram and what could be done to end this madness but because of 2015, they choose to allow the situation deteriorate so badly that it could just go out of control even when they are genuinely ready to combat the militant group-BH.

NIgeria is our own, i wish she remains together because there are tendencies that war could erupt in the event of any other seccession /break up attempt but if it goes the way of referendum, kiss Nigeria good Bye

Niigeria, We Haill Thee!

What do u mean? Catholic bishops conference of nigeria always bring out communique after their annual synod. Google last 10 years communique by CNBC for more clarification

Besides the recent CAN / Catholic thread that made front page recently was a 2011 news.

GEJ till 2019 anyway

Damn all of them in that so called CNBC, with the kind of intolerance they practice they are worst than boko haram and other enemies of this country, A suppose religious group that won't allow someone else lead them, they pulled out of CAN because someone else Is the president and will return when a Catholic head it right? Why have they not pull out of catholic faith with the drug scandal rocking the Vatican city?

The killing stops when a Northerner wins right? More reason why I will intensify my campaign for GEJ to continue till that born to rule mentality is totally erased.

in as much as I support and pray for GEJ as my president, this can't really blind my sense of reasoning that his government is performing below most Nigerians expectations. Only that I don't see credible Alternative in those that rant and criticize destructively everything in Goodluck's government!

It'll be unfortunate to read from Igbo that dominate Catholic, condemning the bishops because it appears they're attacking Jonathan.
