Hypocrite..

You prefer them walking alone along the street with superman shirt chanting Nothing dey happen
why not?

Even common celebrities has bodyguards, you know why?
celebs are in a carnal showbiz business, they're not standing on pulpits to preach divine protection, they don't sell stickers and reflective jackets to their "fans" saying it'll protect them. I think its a massive goof to have brought this up and makes one question your level of intelligence.

Heaven helps those who help himself..
this statement isn't biblical in any way


Yes, they are pastors and they do the will of God.. But still they need to be watchful..
Psalm 127:1 Unless the LORD watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain.


Throughout your rant you spectacularly failed to get my point and is a pity because the point is easy to see.... calm down, take a cup of coffee, shower if you have to then read my original post again. I have faith you'd get the point by then

Killing of Priest: Gov. Ugwuanyi, security agencies, Religious Leaders pledge to fish out culprits

...Agree on air surveillance, review of state’s security architecture, ban on illegal possession of arms in the state

…Some people are sabotaging state government, says Catholic Priest

Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State, heads of security agencies, religious leaders and other relevant stakeholders in the state, rose from an emergency security meeting at the Government House, Enugu, condemning in its entirety the killing of the Parish Priest of St. James, The Greater, Ugbawka in Nkanu East Local Government Area of the state, Rev. Fr. Paul Offu.

The priest, according to reports, was shot dead along Ihe-Agbudu Road in Awgu Local Government Area by yet to be identified hoodlums.

Gov. Ugwuanyi upon receiving the unfortunate news of the incident summoned an emergency security meeting at the Government House, Enugu, which was attended by all the security agencies in the state, Archbishop Emmanuel Chukwuma of Enugu Ecclesiastical Province (Anglican Communion), representative of the Catholic Bishop of Enugu Diocese, Rev. Fr. Dr. Nnamdi Nwankwo, among others.

Briefing journalists on the outcome of the meeting, the State Commissioner of Police, Suleiman Balarabe, stated that they “condemned in totality the dastardly act and we all prayed that his soul rest in peace”, adding that the governor mandated the security agencies to fish out the perpetrators of the heinous act.

Balarabe disclosed that the state government resolved to have air surveillance in all the flashpoint areas, stressing that the exercise will commence on Monday, August 5.

The police commissioner added that the meeting resolved that the security architecture of the affected areas will be reviewed with immediate effect.

He said that the meeting observed with deep concern the proliferation of dangerous arms in the state, stating that those in possession of illegal weapons have been given three days to submit them to the police “and after which anybody found with illegal weapons will be dealt with in accordance with the law”.

Balarabe revealed that in keeping with the outcome of the recent meeting of the South East Governors Forum, the Enugu State Government resolved at the emergency meeting to employ the services of Forest Guards and equally strengthen the services of the Neighborhood Watch groups in the state.

In his remark, Archbishop Chukwuma, condoled with the Catholic Church over the sad incident and appealed to the Inspector General of Police to increase the number of policemen in the state, saying “they are inadequate”.

The Archbishop insisted that “Enugu State is safe and secure for everybody”, stressing: “We are very much behind the government of Enugu State and we are commending the efforts of the governor and the state government in their efforts to make sure that lives and property are secured in Enugu State”.

According to him, “we are not afraid and nobody should think that he can get Enugu State into a state of violence or insecurity”.

Commending Gov. Ugwuanyi for his prompt action in summoning the meeting, Archbishop Chukwuma said: “I think the governor and the security agencies are out to make sure that anybody who goes after priests or human beings again in Enugu State will have himself or herself to blame”.

Speaking on behalf of the Catholic Church, Rev. Fr. Nwankwo, stated that “the Catholic Diocese of Enugu wishes to thank the governor for his quick response to this sad incident that has taken place in this state”.

The priest said that “some people are trying to sabotage the efforts of the state government and the popular saying, which is true, that Enugu is safe”, noting that “we are sad”.

His words: “We have come here to dialogue with the governor and the state security agencies and I am very much impressed with the outcome of this security meeting and all the resolutions taken.

“I am particularly interested, that the Miyetti Allah and other Northern groups have been helping the governor in security issues and discussions. I am particularly impressed; however, we are asking them to do more because we don’t want to live in fear.

“So we thank everybody, we thank especially the governor. We know what he is going through, we know the pressure, and this state is the ideal state for peace in the whole nation, and we encourage him not to be distracted, relent or in any way give up his efforts. Rather, let these things happening encourage him to work harder. He is the father of the state and as he has given some directives today. I am impressed, and may God bless our Governor.

Earlier, the Enugu State Government had condoled with the family of the late Rev. Fr. Offu and the entire Catholic Diocese of Enugu over the painful death.

In a statement by the Secretary to the State Government, Prof. Simon Ortuanya, the state government noted that the priest’s death “represents another ugly manifestation of security challenges in the entire country- East, West, North and South”.

The state government in the statement summoned a crucial meeting of all local vigilante and Neigbourhood Watch groups with the governor at the Government House, Enugu, on August 5 at 1pm.

It also notified the public of planned air surveillance by the Nigerian Air Force along Ihe –Agbudu axis, Awgu, Aninri, Nkanu East Local Government Areas and their environs and enjoined citizens not to panic in the course of the exercise. #amokelouis

The priest and the governor are cowards, why are you afraid to tell police commissioner to ban Fulani's from possession of arms. why beating about the bush, the eyes witness said the priest was shot by Fulani's and the police is talking about fishing out the killer. the killer is their in the bush with the same police protection. what stop Enugu state government from baning open grazing and make it to be a law so police or Enugu government found security can enforce the law. I did not understand why the priest protested when they can't speak up against the Fulani's that have kill about 4 priest in the same state. so all their protest is to tell governor to fish out their fellow priest killer. is about they preach against the killer Fulani's because is the priest religious right to speak for people to protect them self. in Nigeria priest or any religion control people more than government and have right more than government. so they should speak up than beating around the bush.

Balarabe revealed that in keeping with the outcome of the recent meeting of the South East Governors Forum, the Enugu State Government resolved at the emergency meeting to employ the services of Forest Guards and equally strengthen the services of the Neighborhood Watch groups in the state.

In his remark, Archbishop Chukwuma, condoled with the Catholic Church over the sad incident and appealed to the Inspector General of Police to increase the number of policemen in the state, saying “they are inadequate”.

The Archbishop insisted that “Enugu State is safe and secure for everybody”, stressing: “We are very much behind the government of Enugu State and we are commending the efforts of the governor and the state government in their efforts to make sure that lives and property are secured in Enugu State”.

According to him, “we are not afraid and nobody should think that he can get Enugu State into a state of violence or insecurity”.

Commending Gov. Ugwuanyi for his prompt action in summoning the meeting, Archbishop Chukwuma said: “I think the governor and the security agencies are out to make sure that anybody who goes after priests or human beings again in Enugu State will have himself or herself to blame”.

Speaking on behalf of the Catholic Church, Rev. Fr. Nwankwo, stated that “the Catholic Diocese of Enugu wishes to thank the governor for his quick response to this sad incident that has taken place in this state”.

The priest said that “some people are trying to sabotage the efforts of the state government and the popular saying, which is true, that Enugu is safe”, noting that “we are sad”.

His words: “We have come here to dialogue with the governor and the state security agencies and I am very much impressed with the outcome of this security meeting and all the resolutions taken.

“I am particularly interested, that the Miyetti Allah and other Northern groups have been helping the governor in security issues and discussions. I am particularly impressed; however, we are asking them to do more because we don’t want to live in fear.

“So we thank everybody, we thank especially the governor. We know what he is going through, we know the pressure, and this state is the ideal state for peace in the whole nation, and we encourage him not to be distracted, relent or in any way give up his efforts. Rather, let these things happening encourage him to work harder. He is the father of the state and as he has given some directives today. I am impressed, and may God bless our Governor.

Earlier, the Enugu State Government had condoled with the family of the late Rev. Fr. Offu and the entire Catholic Diocese of Enugu over the painful death.

In a statement by the Secretary to the State Government, Prof. Simon Ortuanya, the state government noted that the priest’s death “represents another ugly manifestation of security challenges in the entire country- East, West, North and South”.

The state government in the statement summoned a crucial meeting of all local vigilante and Neigbourhood Watch groups with the governor at the Government House, Enugu, on August 5 at 1pm.

It also notified the public of planned air surveillance by the Nigerian Air Force along Ihe –Agbudu axis, Awgu, Aninri, Nkanu East Local Government Areas and their environs and enjoined citizens not to panic in the course of the exercise. #amokelouis

Igbo's are wiser than God and foolish than Mugu, Governor Ugwu Anyi call security meeting and attendants are Police commissioner north, Miatt Alah North, Fulani's cattle breeders association North, Macca ban cattle traders North and catholic priest. I am ashame of Eastern state governors, None Igbo's of Enugu state organization is in the meeting. how can you plan security of your state with out side and the same criminals? how many time have the governor have meeting with youth of the state, and community vigilantes but they have time to call a trader association from outside this nation and seat in one table for God knows what they talk in the name of security. Visionless Ohanaeze group reject to attend a meeting summon by for head of state because cattle breeders and all their association was include in the list of people that will attend the meeting. but back at home over fat and elephant like stomach governor organize and have meeting with the same people that killing his brother. I still wonder why Igbo's doesn't see that they are the one killing them same by the kind of polices their governors introduces. they chase Nnamdi Kanu out and turn back having security meeting with terrorist. the governors lack development idea still blaming others for their failure

Hypocrite..

You prefer them walking alone along the street with superman shirt chanting Nothing dey happen

Even common celebrities has bodyguards, you know why? Heaven helps those who help himself..

Yes, they are pastors and they do the will of God.. But still they need to be watchful..

When Jesus was alive he has 12 disciples what did U think they are there for?

When Muhammad SAW was alive, he wasn't walking around alone he has followers and warriors with him..

Stop being a hypocrite and face how your life will have a meaning.. No matter what U say about those pastors U will still be seeing them at the top..
What sort of heresy are you spreading about.
Jesus used 12 disciples for bodyguard? Are you kidding me or what?
"Heaven help those who help them self"-Where in the bible did you see this and how does that apply to this scenario?
As much as I am not fully in support of walking like a superman in the street but common, this amount of bodyguards with guns and the like are doing nothing more than telling us another story.... Infact I don't know how to put it, Truth is for me I am least concerned about what they do.
But what I want to clarify with you, is to clarify that Jesus didn't work with anybody guard of whatsoever, stop using Jesus to site unncessary examples.

Sad

this only happens to lower level priests who trust the blood of a Jew to protect them

The higher ups know no blood of someone who supposedly died 2000 years ago can protect them so they take their protection seriously by hiring bodyguards while selling stickers with words like "No weapon fashioned against me shall prosper" at exorbitant prices to the sheeples so they can raise more money to afford more and/or better bodyguards

This pastor died because he didn't have the blood of Jesus protecting him unlike the pastors above

Members should keep paying for stickers and reflective jackets to protect them just like the above pastors are using stickers and jackets

Interesting. Not all like it seems though.

why not?
celebs are in a carnal showbiz business, they're not standing on pulpits to preach divine protection, they don't sell stickers and reflective jackets to their "fans" saying it'll protect them. I think its a massive goof to have brought this up and makes one question your level of intelligence.
this statement isn't biblical in any wayPsalm 127:1 Unless the LORD watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain.


Throughout your rant you spectacularly failed to get my point and is a pity because the point is easy to see.... calm down, take a cup of coffee, shower if you have to then read my original post again. I have faith you'd get the point by then


Don't waste your time on Religious fools without sense.
