nairaland first reporter said 150 people

And the poster who asked a valid question as to how 150 will be killed when they did not line up to receive the bullets like holy communion, he was shouted down by those who wanted a high number of casualties and wanted desperately to blame Fulani herdsmen and Islamization agenda.

Trying to create a new narrative for the Nigerian audience to tow is as bad as poor reportage. The fact still remains that innocent people were killed by greedy DRUG LORDS who built a church and their sources of wealth was never questioned. There is so much effort to deviate the primary attention of the world from the main reason of the massacre. Attention should be focused on fishing out the real culprits behind the senseless killings, even if only one life was lost. I am disgusted by the way people are trying to shield the so called drug lords from public scrutiny and culpability. Who am I to judge people who asked for kidnapper Evans to be freed?

OK, let's reason together about this Ozubulu massacre. Let's think like thinkers and crosscheck our thoughts​ and common sense with police report.

1) Police conducted and finished their investigation within minutes, infact not more than two hours the crime was committed! We are talking about nigerian police. Same nigerian police that tried to convince us innitially then that nimbo massacre was result of fights between two cult groups.

2) They said it is a drug war between two people("brothers" as they called it) of that same village. Now speculations said the target who is one of the said brothers is Bishop. So what is the name of the other guy, the one who allegedly sent the assassins?

3) Now, how can a villager send assassins to a church in his own village to massacre People knowing fully well that his own relations, friends and families may be in that church too? Made sense?

4) Since police are so sure that this is drug war and they know the actors, why haven't they arrest anyone?

5) According to the report being circulated, the Bishop guy's house is directly opposite the church, so what stops the assassins from going to that house? If you are an assassin, would you rather go into that church or wait for your target to come out after church to hit him?

6) Do you believe assassins will go to church without information to be sure if their target is in the church or not? Do you believe assassins will just go for their target based on instinct or betting on luck to find him there?

7) Don't you think assassins would have planted an informant in that church that will inform them(through maybe text or call, or even video) whether their target is in that church and the seat/roll he is siting and colour of cloth he is wearing?

cool How come the assassins killed many innocent and helpless women and kids in their bid to kill their target who is not even in the church?

9) Have you heard that the said assassins went there wearing army uniform and army vehicles too?

10) They said Bishop's father was killed there yesterday, please can you show us in the said police and obiano report where they said Bishop's father was killed in that church yesterday?

11) how come police didn't even question those in the congregation there and show us eyewitness report at least too?

12) Some are reporting that the said assassins came into the church and start flashing torchlights, please let me ask you, have you been to any Catholic church before? Do you know how lighted Catholic churches always are during Masses?

13) This is 6am mass, do you know it is rare for any prominent or rich person to attend 6am mass? I am a Catholic so I know this.

Dont mind them.

http://successsecrets01..com/2017/08/weekly-energizerconsequences-of-dodging.html

[img]https://1.bp..com/-1gxMNnXcpC0/WYgG7MmARXI/AAAAAAAABQA/GdxTsi9gU5we80oSqukVonWIwznPHr1WQCLcBGAs/s400/Weekly%2Bbooster6-01.png[/img]

The quote for today's weekly energizer comes from Bob Proctor in his personal development program called The winner's choice: 12 power principles for winning the mind game.

As part of the introduction for the second power principle called responsibility, Bob Proctor reminded us that:
WE MIGHT EASILY DODGE OUR RESPONSIBILITY, BUT WE WILL NEVER DODGE THE CONSEQUENCES OF DODGING OUR RESPONSIBILITY.
This quote of Bob Proctor is very apt for our consideration as we begin this new week. While it might seem exhilarating after an ephemeral analysis that we are able to dodge our responsibility, the truth is that taking responsibility is where our freedom actually lies. When we take responsibility, we put ourselves in a situation where we call the shots in our own lives despite the external circumstances.

If we let ourselves off the hook and play the blame game by passing the buck, the truth is that our lives will remain whatever the person we have passed the buck to makes of it. Who can design a better life for us than ourselves? I will suggest we take responsibility for everything in our lives today so that we can enjoy the rewards sooner or later.

This analysis is correct both for individuals, families, religious organizations, corporations or communities. As the weekly energizers are not meant to be long, I will use the trending issue of the OZUBULU MASSACRE OR OZUBULU MASS KILLING to illustrate how this concept of responsibility affects organizations and communities.

Before I do the analysis, let me clearly state that I condemn the Ozubulu massacre in strongest terms. Such act is barbaric and even demonic. The mere thought of such depravity exudes utter disrespect for the sanctity of human life that will make the devil cringe. My heart goes out to all those who lost loved ones and I pray that the soul of all the faithfuls departed rest in peace! Speedy recovery I wish all those who are hospitalized.

And now for some reality 101.
I was listening to the news this morning when they were doing the news paper headline reviews. Some persons called in condemning the police and the state government for being too quick to allege that the heinous crime was perpetrated by Drug barons who are natives of Ozubulu. According to the majority of these callers, the rushed allegation smacks of a cover up. They preferred to be told that this dastard act was committed by either boko haram or the Fulani herdsmen. So much for religion and ethnicity.

[b]The truth is that the church and the community suffered in the Ozubulu massacre because they dodged their responsibility of correcting and standing against what is wrong #ItTakesAVillage. The church had the greatest responsibility and yet it floundered. Maybe that is why it was used as the stage for the Ozubulu massacre. The society now celebrates evil provided it comes with money. Recently, a flamboyant affluent young man whose source of wealth remains officially unknown was being analyzed. You need to see the amount of people saying things like "I DONT CARE IF HE DRINKS BABY BLOOD", "THOSE QUESTIONING HIS SOURCE OF WEALTH SHOULD SHUT UP ABEG", "MONEY IS KING AND LORD". ETC. I will not bore you much with more examples because most of us are already familiar with the drill. You can see just two of such threads here: EXAMPLE THREAD ONE and EXAMPLE THREAD TWO

It is this same attitude that has permeated the society and eaten deep into our moral fabric even the church. The church has refused responsibility to act as a correcting agent. It honors the highest tither and the highest donor. They get the front row seat and make the laws. Even the clergy becomes subservient if he is not so affluent but if he measures up, they become best friends. What do you expect from the congregation that looks up to the church? The church shy away from the responsibility of reproving those going astray but rather eulogize them so as to continue benefiting from their generosity. Little wonder that it cannot dodge the consequences of heaping great reproach on itself and on God's name. The church can now be a 'justifiable' theatre of political, occultic and drug wars because its benefactors are politicians, drug lords, and highly placed occultists. Little wonder that the church suffers dire consequences. Asides the painful loss of lives, you can see for yourself the magnitude of mockery the church received in the comments here: CHURCH MOCKERY OVER THE OZUBULU MASSACRE

While I am aware that warring factions sometimes kill parents who did not support their kids in their evil ways, it is also true that very few parents stand up against children whose evil ways have yielded pecuniary gains. Even while it may not be so glaring, these parents, because they have dodged their responsibility cannot dodge the consequences. For them, Lucky Dube's lyrics in reap what you sow are immortal. I have reproduced it below from AZ Lyrics:

"Reap What You Sow"

We hear you crying
So bitterly
Trying to get people to help you ye ye
But nobody will
Your son was brutalizing people everytime.
But you said nothing
Now it's the time to pay the price
It's time to pay ye ye ye ye

[Chorus:]
You gonna reap just what you sow [x4]

Coming back home
With stolen things
Instead of telling him
How wrong he was
You told him how clever he was
People coming out of burning houses
It's your son Driving stolen cars every time
It's your son,
But you said nothing
But now he's turning against you

[Chorus:]
You gonna reap just what you sow [x3]

Everybody knows
No jail can keep him
'Cause you rubbing shoulders with the law
But now it's time to pay the price wo... woh

[Chorus: till fade]
You gonna reap just what you sow

As we conclude the weekly energizer for this week, take this lesson with you:
WE MIGHT EASILY DODGE OUR RESPONSIBILITY, BUT WE WILL NEVER DODGE THE CONSEQUENCES OF DODGING OUR RESPONSIBILITY.
Also remember that until parents, churches, etc reclaim their responsibility of speaking out against evil without fear or favour, they can never dodge the consequences of their laxity! Rip to those massacred in ozubulu and may God grant those they left behind the fortitude to bear the loss. Have a blessed week.

t's clear that Nigeria lacks investigative journalism. Now see for yourself.

The Guardian : 47 killed
Vanguard : 35 killed
The Telegraph : 19 killed
Daily Sun : 11 killed
Sunrise : Over 100 killed.

Even FBI, CIA, combine together can't carry out investigation in less than 2hrs but Nigerian police and Nigeria Media did. Now see the result. #Hahahahaha

If the Media in Nigeria cannot give you a first class information,biko how else do you get it?
