I pray for the peace of Nigeria, Pope Francis tells Speaker Dogara

His Holiness, Pope Francis, has said that he has been praying for the peace and stability of Nigeria.

The Pope made this known when he met with the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon  Yakubu Dogara, in Saint Peters Square, Vatican City.

The Speaker had led Nigerian delegation to the Holy See for a morning mass where nationals and leaders from different countries of the world gathered to join His Holiness for the devotion and receive blessings from the Pontiff.

Dogara who described the meeting with Pope Francis as "awesome", stated that he was pleasantly surprised  and  delighted to know that the pontiff is well informed about the happenings in Nigeria.

The moment I was introduced to him as the Speaker of the Nigerian Parliament, he said "how is Nigeria and how  are you working for the peace of Nigeria?"

"Pray for me also"

Pope Francis then told the Speaker that he always prays for the peace of Nigeria saying, " I pray for the peace of Nigeria and pray for me also".

The Speaker was accompanied by the Nigerian Ambassador to the Holy See, General George Godwin Umo (rtd) who disclosed that the Pope has been holding mass in honour of the 26 Nigerian girls that died in the Mediterranean sea while trying to enter Italy few weeks ago.

Hon Dogara is in Italy on the invitation of the President of the Italian Chamber of Deputies, Ms Laura Boldrini,  for an international conference on "Human Trafficking and women empowerment: The Partnership between Nigeria and Italy."

I don hear.

If na by prayers, the conmen parading as Daddy this G.O or Daddy that G.O in Nigeria would have solved our problems.

10% of Nigeria's wealth is with these three churches(Redeemed Church,Winners Chapel,Christ Embassy) the other churches combined hold another 10%.

Our churches are the richest in the World,yet the Country suffers. We don't need the Pope's prayers, we need to beg our corrupt Pastors like the corrupt politicians to release our money back to us.

Holy Father Pope Francis

May God keep you as a gift to your people


Continue to lead us on the right path on earth as Christ representative


May God grant you wisdom to lead us in love

Through the intercession of the Mother Mary, the queen of all hearts, intercede on your behalf to her son Jesus Christ.

Saint Pope John Paul II pray for us




May our Mother Mary the queen of all departed souls, the comforter of the afflicted, refuge of sinners and queen of Nigeria, accept the departed souls and also console the country, Amen.


May the souls of the faithful departed through the mercies of God rest in peace

It always seem as though Nigeria is a praying nation but that's not true. The number of churches springing up is competing with residential buildings all over the country. Many go to church but very few are faithfully praying, the rest are just bench warmers.

Prayer is good but for it to work, we need to change as a people. We need to prayerfully work and build institutions that would checkmate excesses of the black sheep among us. Prayer is key but the door won't open if we don't insert the key, turn it in the right direction for the door to open. Prayerfully working, changing our attitude positively towards nation-building and we'd for ourselves a better nation, pride for us and a model for other countries to emulate.

He's now a new creature, let's forget his past and look forward to the present and future to see if he's going to steal again.

Shalom!

Sua sanctitate Pope Benedict XVI!
ora pro Nigeria ut scire potest pace;
Quod tribalism, nepotism, et superstitio ut religionis evanescet!
Ora pro Nigeria principes eius corrumpere; iuvenum primos crastinus pro quoniam.
